... to cavil to the Assyriologists ( 'Thiele's Assyrian Reliance', C&CR 2001:1 ). The critical date then became 719 BC; the date as adjusted by my Assyrian revision for the fall of Simurrum in the accession year of Akhenaten, as appears to be indicated in the el-Amarna Letters. I created an EXCEL spreadsheet with columns for conventional Egyptian history and laid alongside it my placements of the 18th,19th and 20th Dynasty kings. Having added my revisions for later Assyrian history and adjustments for Biblical history, I then started looking for what I called an events based scenario'. As certain events began to impinge on this spreadsheet. I concluded that the events ...
682. The Early Years: Part Two [Journals] [Aeon]
... . (35) But what may be most significant about the booklet is the fact that within its final pages its author's alterego realizes that he is not the long-awaited Messiah. Did Velikovsky come to a similar conclusion regarding his own role? It is true that, writing as "Observer" in the late 1940s, Velikovsky contributed some fifty columns on Israeli politics to the New York Post; while these undoubtedly reflected his Palestinian experiences from one and two decades earlier, it would be anachronistic to try to read them out of their proper chronological context. Direct expressions of his attitude toward his ancestral homeland, at the time that he dwelled therein, are mysteriously missing despite his decades ...
683. Imaginary Worlds: The Debate Heats Up [Journals] [Aeon]
... , or about 270 miles- an enormous discrepancy when one considers that the whole length of the seismic survey line extends only a little over 3 degrees of latitude. This is just another way of illustrating how bad a mismatch it is. But there is worse to come. There are even errors in Hapgood's errors. Hapgood's tables have four columns of figures: the true position; the position on the Piri Re'is map; a constant correction term, which for latitudes is plus 25 degrees; and the calculated error. But when I checked the arithmetic in this part of the table, I found that three out of eight of the errors in latitude are understated. The stated ...

... to Doubleday. I am frank to state that this change was the result of pressure that scientists and scholars brought to bear on the Macmillan Company. It is our duty to the public to prevent such fraud insofar as we can. Paul Herget, Professor of Astronomy at the University of Cincinnati and Director of its observatory, wrote to the columnist Sokolsky, early July 1950: I do not believe he [Shapley] was in any sense the leader in this campaign. I was a very vigorous participant myself...For your information I enclose copies of some of my correspondence. After the transfer was made, pressure was brought upon the Doubleday Company. On June 30 ...
685. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... within the proper scheme of metaphysical presuppositions. What Shapley had in mind was the dogma of the absolute stability of the solar system [52]. Velikovsky forced the scientists to become well aware that proof of this postulate does not exist. Scores of reviews were remarkable for the violence of expression and the jejune poverty of the contents. Often columns of denunciation were not followed by a single argument. The case of Harrison Brown is a good example of those who proclaimed that they had peremptory arguments galore, but did not submit a single one. Only a few scientists of note showed a spirit of scholarly cooperation by providing friendly criticism and additional information. Among them were W. ...
... and privileges; and certainly such as are not ill-disposed to what we write may believe that they are all to this purpose, and that by the specimens which we have inserted; for since we have produced evident marks that may still be seen of the friendship we have had with the Romans, and demonstrated that those marks are engraven upon columns and tables of brass in the capitol, that axe still in being, and preserved to this day, we have omitted to set them all down, as needless and disagreeable; for I cannot suppose any one so perverse as not to believe the friendship we have had with the Romans, while they have demonstrated the same by such ...

688. Scientific Dating Problems: The Radiometric Dating Of Earth's Rocks [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to achieve high velocities, further reducing the probability of collisions with other nuclei; so most PCCs in a return stroke must be protons and alpha particles. Though the likelihood that any PCC will reach the strike point without collisions en route is low, transfer of 2 5 coulombs at a propagation velocity of 5 107 m/sec (2nd column, table B1) implies that in the initial return stroke more than 3 billion alpha-particles travel upwards from the strike point at one-sixth the velocity of light; and each stroke of the subsequent lightning flash involves about 10 billion further alpha particles being drawn out of the ground to the cloud. Thus the numbers of PCCs passing to the strike ...
689. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Two [Books]
... of pre- historic time, in his anger ran against Mount Pu- chou, the Pillar of Heaven', so that the heavens collapsed. Nil Wa, the putative sister of Pu Hsu, melted multicoloured stones and therewith repaired the vault of heaven, and she cut off the legs of a sea- turtle and placed them as columns at the four extremities of the world. But heaven was not quite complete in the North West, wherefore the sun and the moon moved in this direction, and the earth was short of a piece in the South East, whence all the rivers flowed toward this point. The notion of heaven as a massive vault which can be ...
690. The Celestial Ship of North Vol. I [Books]
... The central passages of the Temples of Hathor, Denderah and Thebes were oriented to Alpha Draconis, then the Pole Star, as were other temples and pyramids of later date. Our own astronomer, Serviss, speaks very beautifully of these orientations, "to square their work by the stars, and to construct long rows of sphinxes and majestic columns to conduct a ray from the sky to the eye of God in his dark and hidden chamber, where no impious foot dared follow." The Hivites of the Old Testament were known as the Ophites, and were connected with the Sabeans, worshippers of the Stars and the celestial Serpent. No other people or nation gave to the ...
