... a very rough date- -the century, say- for as a rule total solar eclipses repeat at the same geographical locality only at long intervals. The date merely serves to identify which computed eclipse has been recorded in a given instance. The place of observation is the really important element; it establishes the longitude at which the band of totality crossed a given latitude. The observer knew where he was, whether or not he could measure the hour or the second. An increase in the length of the day subsequent to the time of ancient eclipses would be shown by the fact that they were observed at points farther easterly than uncorrected computation had in retrospect suggested. The lagging behind ...
352. The el-Amarna Letters (Continued) (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... Ages in Chaos Volume I: From the Exodus to King Akhnaton CHAPTER SEVEN The el-Amarna Letters (Continued)Immanuel Velikovsky Famine Tribes of the desert, driven by famine, came to Trans-Jordan and crossed the river, only to find the land of Israel in even greater distress and misery than that from which they had fled. The fields in Israel yielded nothing. The meadows were scorched by the sun; only thorns sprang from the barren land. The first forecast of the drought came from Elijah the Tishbite, who said to the king: I KINGS 17:1 .. . there shall not be dew nor rain these years. The heavens breathed heat, the trees ...
353. The Cosmic Origins Of Arthur (Book review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... just as much a dragon king as that worshipped by the Steppe people. We would not have expected Reid to recognise this side of things but, interestingly, he does pick up on a crucial point. Describing the Steppe people as worshipping a sword stuck vertically into the ground, he realises the similarity of this pagan symbol to the Christian cross, one major point of fusion between the sky myths and the Christianisation of the Mediaeval Arthur. Indeed, Sweeney actually concludes with the obvious similarities between the ancient hero god and Christ. It is small wonder that Christianity was so easily able to supersede older religions around the world; it never had to replace them because one sky god ...
354. The Gravitational-Electromagnetic Effects of Ultramassive Objects on the Solar System (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... the simulation is approximately one sidereal year. Figure I shows the normal configuration of the planets without intervention of a massive intruding object. The Y-axis is "into the paper" providing the illusion of depth. In the simulation, the planets start out along the positive X-axis and orbit in a counterclockwise fashion. The Sun is positioned at the cross point of the three axes (origin of the coordinate system) and is suppressed in this particular view by those lines. The planets not shown are included in all calculations; however, only the inner planets were plotted in order to focus attention on the alterations in their orbits. Figure 2 shows an object of 1.5 Solar ...
355. Firmament & Chaos by John Ackerman (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Ezekiel's creature with four heads or beaked faces on totem poles? They were anthropomorphised features seen on the surface of Mars (pp. 157-159). It is going to be perfectly safe to send astronauts to Mars because we have already been fully exposed to Martian organisms and atmospheric gases. The Jews fleeing the Egyptian army were fortunate because they crossed the Red Sea just before Mars broke free from Earth's orbit and the sea, which had been dry for 14 years, flooded in just behind them. Of course it is possible that all these explanations are correct - but they are not the only alternatives. The book catalogues for many of the strange and impressive structures built by people ...
356. The Mechanism Of Evolution. Ch.15 Cataclysmic Evolution (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... breeder creates conditions not found in wild life; and new races or varieties of animals created by selection and isolation revert to their ancestral unselected forms as soon as they are turned free; thus when dogs of various breeds mate they give birth to mongrels which resemble their common ancestors. Despite all their efforts, breeders have not been able to cross the true frontier of a species. Then how could a new species originate in chance variations and through crossbreeding in wild life? And how could so many new species be produced that they number, together with the extinct, in the millions? And how could a human being, so complicated, evolve, not just from common ancestors ...
... would be put to the torch when their populations were asleep- sometimes with the connivance of the village chiefs- and the fleeing blacks would be captured, thus becoming human merchandise. Many of those transported in chains on Arab ships, often not seaworthy, died of maltreatment, thirst, and exposure to the sun, and of some cargoes crossing the Atlantic not more than fifty out of a hundred survived the passage. The British, the French, the Portuguese and others buying the slaves in African markets moved them to Europe-but mainly to the Americas. The British statistics had it that exclusive of the slaves who died before they sailed from Africa, 12% percent were lost during ...
358. Velikovsky's Orbits (Forum) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to give E2, V3, M2, Mars then interacted with Earth to give E3, V3, M3, Mars then interacted with an asteroid to give E3, V3, M4. The present orbits given above are therefore E3, V3, M4. Consider what we know about the orbit M3. It is a transfer orbit that must cross the orbits E3 and M4. Let us make Ma3 = 1 2, which makes ME3 = -1 76015 and, as Mr3 must include both 1 000 and 1 40, the eccentricity Me3 > 0 16666. This implies that MH3 < 0 72618. The change in E and H between M3 and M4 is to the asteroid. ...
359. Mnemes Awakened. Ch.7 Chronicle Of Our Time (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... learned from the Dead Sea scrolls? Are these hippies a religious group frightened by the expectation of doomsday? Do they emulate the early Christian sects by opposing violence? They are frightened. They were running away to some "safe" location at the approach of an asteroid, Icarus, that with its million-or billion-ton mass was expected to nearly cross Earth's orbit in 1968. They have been most concerned- actually in trepidation- at the prophesied possibi-lity- for many of them certainty- of California's slipping into the ocean because of a breaking away along the San Andreas fault, with a sudden and vast enlarging of the fault and a bursting of the Earth's crust. They do not ...
360. More Astronomical Discoveries [Journals] [Aeon]
... in diameter. Smooth areas within craters and other depressions, now termed "ponded deposits," are said to appear to be sedimentary in nature, despite the fact that a physical process for such sifting and transportation of these deposits remains temporarily unknown. Such "pondings" have not yet been found on other asteroids. The one question that crosses this reporter's mind is one that has already been asked of other asteroids by Wallace Thornhill: How is it that the supposed impact which created the Shoemaker crater did not blast the asteroid, which is only 21 miles long, apart? On another front, the direct discovery of an exoplanet orbiting the star HD 209458, first noted in ...
