... . All indications are that the Folsom Point tool was invented in the middle eastern United States-perhaps Kentucky, Tennessee or Pennsylvania. But many scholars suggest that Paleo-Indians invented the Folsom Point in Siberia and used it to clear out the megafauna who disappeared at the end of the Ice Age. The scenario, of course, requires that the Paleo-Indian hunters cross the Bering Strait, rush to Nashville or Knoxville to invent the new point, then migrate back to Siberia and re-cross the Bering Strait on hunting forays into immense herds of mammoths. The doctrine of evolution thus leads directly to the Bering Strait theory and now, in a bizarre twist, has led to the Big Game Hunters megafauna-cide. ...
452. A Tale of Two Mountains: Ararat and Sinai [Journals] [SIS Review]
... first-fruits, promise of the future harvest, was waved before God (Leviticus 23:10,11). Hence we are told by St. Paul that as Christ the first-fruits' (I Corinthians 15:20,23) rose, so those who believe in Him will also rise afterwards. This day was the anniversary of Israel's crossing through the Red Sea (Exodus 12-14), and, as in the case of the Passover, it was also a date memorable in early history, being the day when the Ark came to rest on Mount Ararat (Genesis 8:4 ) '. (vi) Ark at the Mountain The Flood that destroyed humankind carried Noah ...

So then the question is...Because, probably, you all know, if I can say two words in Chinese I'm learned to many people, so lacking are we in cross- cultural correspondences.

454. Can There be a Revised Chronology Without a Revised Stratigraphy? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... are precisely those we would expect to find attested during Solomon's reign, the Bible records Solomon's trade with Egypt and his marriage to the Pharaoh's daughter [25], and says (I Kings 4:24) that his kingdom extended as far to the north-east as Tiphsah, which is probably to be identified with Thapsacus, "an important crossing in the west bank of the Middle Euphrates .. . placed strategically on a great east-west trade route" [26]. The Bible adds extra detail concerning Gezer: namely, that Solomon rebuilt it after it had been captured and burnt by the Pharaoh, who had given the site to his daughter, Solomon's wife, as a ...
455. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... with ties to Jerusalem: modern Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Barbara Thiering, in Jesus and the Riddle of the Dead Sea Scrolls, has explored the basis for many of the New Testament myths (including why the year 1 does not coincide with the birth of Jesus). She also supposes that Jesus did not die on the cross and that the myth originated as part of early Christianity in its migration to Rome. While utilizing some of the same, and similar, sources, others have interpreted the life of Jesus in different ways. Hugh Schonfield has authored a number of books, including the best-selling The Passover Plot, that explore the reasons concerning how the man ...
456. Megalithic Astronomy and Catastrophism [Journals] [Pensee]
... on the sky-vault at the horizon to within a few seconds of arc. Indeed there is good evidence that the Classical Maya people of Central America- whose great skill and accuracy in astronomical observation is well known (10) --used this method. The codex Nuttall contains a drawing of a man looking out of a temple doorway through a pair of crossed sticks- a simple device to ensure that his eye is exactly in the right place- and presumably watching some celestial phenomenon from this high vantage point. Another drawing in the codex Bodleian shows an eye behind the crossed sticks, this time seen from the front, and nearby a star or planet rising or setting in a distant notch (11 ...

When I am asked whether catastrophes will happen again, I cannot answer this question. Nothing that demonstrates the planetary orbits are all...well, they are not really interchained, crossing each other, but man, himself, may cause catastrophes [not guided] by nature.

459. The Conquest of Canaan AND THE REVISED CHRONOLOGY [Journals] [SIS Review]
... This is because of the incorrect date presently given to the end of the MBA. When we apply the revision offered here, we find that there was indeed a large city at Jericho in the 15th century BC, and that during that century it came to a very violent end. Jericho was the first city taken by the Israelites after crossing the Jordan from the Plains of Moab. The story of how the walls of Jericho collapsed miraculously, enabling the Israelites to enter the city (Josh. 6:20), is well known. It has been plausibly suggested by several writers that what the Bible describes is the effect of a sudden earthquake (10). The ...

... or it could have flowed into the open sea, the Mediterranean. Legendary reminiscences from the patriarchal age indicate that the Jordan existed before the Dead Sea came into being.(2 ) It appears that the coming out of Paddan-aram to Canaan required the passage of the river. Today the way from Palestine to the north does not require the crossing of water. The barrier between the Dead Sea and the Aqaba Gulf is 500 meters high. The watershed between the Jordan River and the Kishon River which flows into the Mediterranean, at Mount Gilboa, is 500 meters above the ocean level. The topographical shape of the region of the Beth Shan Valley, stretching from the Jordan towards ...
