... Egyptians. The sudden flood supposedly was due to a tsunami produced by the final explosion and collapse of Thera. Some have surmised that the Israelites were traversing the narrow sand spit north of Lake Sirbonis when the eruption occurred. The recession of the water from the shore (an event that usually precedes tsunamis) would have allowed the Israelites to cross any gaps in the sand bar, and when the Egyptians tried to pursue, the sea returned in a great wave to overwhelm them. [9 ] Goedicke claims the Israelites had taken a position on Tell Hazzob south of Lake Menzaleh and west of Lake Ballah in order to defend themselves from the Egyptians. When the tsunami hit it ...
202. Reflections Of The Persian Wars [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... by way of land and sea, it could not have come by way of the northern Persian Gulf. The other problem, if we accept the translation that booty came by way of the Sealand, is the location of Westland. The chronicle's version of Sargon's excursion to Westland is: "The sea of the setting of the sun he crossed and in the third year in [the land of] the setting of the sun...his hand conquered...Sargon....[Then he again] crossed the sea of the setting of the sun, i.e ., the Mediterranean Sea. Some take it to mean that he journeyed as ...
203. The Birth and Odyssey of Halley's Comet: From 2484 B.C. to the Present Time [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... in its flyby between September 1985 and July 1986.[9 ] During this 10-month period, embracing perihelion, Halley's Comet lost one-fiftieth of 1 percent (0 .02 percent) of its mass. 2. Related Theory. We have mentioned in previous essays in C&AH that before 700 B.C . Mars had an orbit crossing the Earth's orbit at the October 24 and March 20/21 locations. Mars had a 720-day orbit then, while Earth's was 360 days. (The two planets were in 2:1 orbital resonance.) It was essential to understand this in order to understand the source of the Earth's geomagnetic field. Mars' flybys were the ...
204. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... see these people sailing across many thousands of miles of Pacific Ocean rather than making the relatively short hop from West Africa to Brazil. The programme even mentioned a recent example of some North African fishermen, in a small boat, being blown off course and ending up in Brazil. Am I missing something; is it politically incorrect' to cross the Atlantic? Also, a comment on p. 42 of C&CR 1999:1 (Down, Rethinking Hatshepsut'): it should be pointed out that most scholars date the Ipuwer Papyrus to the First Intermediate Period, not the Second Intermediate as Down has done.

205. Cataclysms of the Earth [Books]
... are a laminated or foliated group. The orthoclase group consists of granite rocks that break in directions at right angles. The plagioclase group includes those having oblique slanting cleavage or splits. Pyroxene-abundant in some granites is often laminated. The word itself comes from the Greek, meaning fire stranger, which connotes "not igneous." Photomicrograpbs, showing cross sections of various types of granitic relics, reveal their contents. Some are mosaics, and the particles in the mosaic show bedding layers, indicating that the mosaic particles were formed separately, by sedimentation, before they were combined into the present granite rock. Petrified vegetation, as seen in micrographs (see U.S . Geological Survey ...
206. Evidence of Careenings of the Globe [Books]
... buried commences on the Minnesota River about four miles west of Fort Snelling, circles and joins the present river where the break-through of the present cut-off occurs just above the Falls of St. Anthony. Here again the river's bed or trough becomes wide and eroded. The Minnesota River occupies an oversize and eroded trough which continues beyond its source, crosses the continental divide, and is continuous with the channel of the Red River of the North which now flows in the opposite direction. These geological features show that a change of land elevation occurred in this area about 7,000 years ago. The old river troughs were cut in previous epochs. The narrow gorge or cut-off was created ...

... of atmospheric gasses and low density liquids. The Solar System milieu is isolated. The Sun is well out along the Orion spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy-one of billions of galaxies in the known universe. Ambient space is nearly an absolute vacuum at about 2.7 K except for cosmic rays, a plasma of free electrons, a cross wind of hydrogen and helium molecules and ions and the Solar Wind of positively charged ions which is continuously accelerated away from the Sun, mostly close to the plane of its equator. In addition, the Sun produces a complete gamut of electromagnetic radiations including visible light in all directions. In the sections which follow, the above-listed members of ...
209. Common Sense About Ancient Maps [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... by one of the descendants of Antonio and Nicolo Zeno, who visited Iceland, where they obtained a map of the North Atlantic Ocean which includes a representation of Greenland. According to the authors: The Greenland depicted differs radically from the Greenland known to the modern world. The land surface is shown free of ice, almost covered by mountains crossed by open rivers and divided into three islands! (Mallery's emphasis.) A fiord, marked Ollum Lengri on a version of the map, and a flat surface, which I concluded was a strait, extending westward between the mountains, divide the land which, now hidden by ice, we know as Greenland, a single island ...
210. Fingerprints of the Gods: do ancient relicts point to an advanced civilisation 15,000 years ago? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ethnic types completely alien to the New World are found depicted in the oldest archaeological strata of that area. I wonder if these are images of the survivors of a lost civilisation which was a multi-ethnic civilisation, rather like the US is today? Figure 10 Man in Serpent' sculpture from the Olmec site of La Venta. Note the X-shaped crosses on the head-dress. Note also the curiously mechanical appearance of the feathered serpent' device inside which the man is seated. There are some very enigmatic depictions amongst these carvings shown in Fig. 10. This again is from the Olmec area. The plume on the head of the serpent connects it to the imagery of Quetzalcoatl, the ...
