... for Ark employment called sometimes for electrical disengagement. Thus the people were kept at 2000 cubits from it during the approach to Jericho but then ordered to pass close by it on the stopped-up river bed of the Jordan. Disengagement would be accomplished by removing the center pole affixed to the Lord's seat between the cherubim and elevating the cherubim. A crossing of the dry river bed of the Jordan might be accomplished at a speed of three miles an hour. We can allow therefore that a two-mile column of people could walk across in an hour. Perhaps there were 40,000 in all that day. The whole Jewish nation with its impedimenta and herds could cross readily in four hours ...
442. Of Lessons, Legacies, and Litmus Tests: A Velikovsky Potpourri (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... or whether it grew out of questions about his scholarship and his attitude towards critics." At that time Masters was a practicing psychologist in San Diego. When I queried Velikovsky at Seaside Heights on May 19, 1979, about his reply to Sachs, he exploded in anger at me, ostensibly because a person with scientific interests should not cross boundaries and burden himself with the intricacies of the revised chronology. His daughter Shulamit, who was present, got very agitated because she thought my unnecessary curiosity had almost given Velikovsky a heart attack. Later that evening, Velikovsky apologized for his outburst. Although we remained on good terms until the end, he never discussed the Sachs matter ...
443. Kadmos: The Primeval King [Journals] [Kronos]
... identified with the planet Saturn? Philo's description of the terrestrial reign of El, the god of the early Hebrews, for example, marks a close parallel to Diodorus' account of Helios. There El appears as a great Phoenician king who, after his death, "was deified as the star Saturn".(7 ) As Frank Cross has recently ascertained: "Philo Byblius and other classical scholars . . . all establish the formula that Bl Hmn [i .e ., Baal Hamon] on the one hand and El on the other are Greek Kronos, Latin Saturn. These equations have long been known, and all new data confirms the ancient."( ...
444. Forum [Journals] [Pensee]
... J. Hardoy has also called attention to the California sites of Santa Rosa island and "Texas Street" near San Diego where "evidence of human presence has been found dating from 20,000 and 35,000 years ago respectively" (9 ). Back in 1962 W. Haag suggested that the lack of evidence pertaining to man's crossing the land-bridge of the Bering Straits before the Wisconsin Period is due to the obliteration of material remains by one hundred meters of water and thirty meters of sediment. For this reason, he cautioned archaeologists "not to be surprised if, in the future, they discover evidence of man's passage in different parts of North America dating back 50 ...

... more than "a spur of rock". It was this spur that the monks had been pointing out as the ark from their monastery below.(60) 20. The Lone Discoverer Navarra's team did not stop there. They continued on. Next day, which was August 17, Navarra made his big discovery. He had just crossed the arm of a glacier and climbed to the top of a moraine when, looking down, he spotted "a dark mass' embedded in the ice.(61) "This mass was clearly outlined, its lines straight and curved. The general shape, I thought, resembled that of a ship . . . [or ...
446. Abraham to Hezekiah: An Archaeological Revision Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... in addition to northern and southern Cisjordan-the very same regions that were given to Israel as an inheritance in Numbers 34 and later conquered under the leadership of Moses and Joshua. 8. According to William Dever the geographical progression of the EBIV/MBI transitional culture can actually be traced archaeologically; it appeared first in northern Transjordan, entered Cisjordan by crossing the river at Jericho, spread first to the southern hill country and the Negev, and finally to northern Cisjordan. This corresponds exactly with the advance of the Hebrew conquest recorded in Deuteronomy 2, 3; Joshua 3, 10, and 11. 9. The new people had a tribal organization, as evidenced by burial practices. ...
447. Morning Star II [Journals] [Aeon]
... it weakened the nations' before it was cut down to the ground. It weakened the nations in two collisions with the earth, and it weakened the nations by keeping them in constant fear for centuries. "The Book of Isaiah, in every chapter, provides abundant evidence that with the removal of Venus, so that it no longer crossed the orbit of the earth, danger was not eliminated, but became even more threatening." (14) The words of Isaiah, however, have to be understood in their full implication which goes far beyond what Velikovsky had envisioned. A proper reading of the Isaiah passage leaves no doubt that Helel had once attempted to usurp the ...
448. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... are known and are probably giants which have split up. They move in unstable chaotic orbits which can evolve over millions of years into short period comets. It can therefore be concluded that giant comets occasionally drop into the inner Solar System every 20 to 200 thousand years. Calculations show that one such giant comet, when evolved into an Earth crossing orbit, would lose much of its surface over a period of 5,000 years, creating a meteor stream which would increase the debris in the inner Solar System and accretion of material on Earth by a factor of 10. Such dust settling in the stratosphere would cause global cooling and might take 1,000 years to disperse. ...
449. The Trouble With Aztex [Journals] [Kronos]
... proves that what is thought impossible in astronomy today may become quite possible tomorrow. V Hills' above model did suggest to him that a reasonable estimate for the relaxation of the Jovian planets into their present orbits would be between 100,000 and a million years. While it may be pointed out that Bass was more concerned with the orbital crossings of an erratic Venus than he was with the Jovian giants,(24) Hills' conclusion does seem to bode disaster for the Saturnian scenario that I and others have been propounding. What must not be lost track of, however, is that these computer simulations, as well as Ovenden's calculations, involve point-particle (or point-mass) ...
450. "Deus Ex Machina" Redux and Planet X Update (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... ". Five, Vaughan allows that Planet X might have been perturbed "significantly on its way outward from perihelion" by Jupiter or Saturn. This is unlikely in the extreme because the inclination places Planet X beyond Jupiter's and Saturn's spheres of influence when it passes over their orbits. This, of course, assumes that the inclination existed before crossing the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn. The foregoing factors not only guarantee that "the probability that Planet X is actually on such an orbit [is] very low", it is vanishingly small on the basis of the first point alone. As a forced hypothesis with no credible basis in fact, Vaughan's speculative scenario does nothing meaningful ...
