... war with Persia. If such was the case, the ore of Greece was even preferable to the copper ore of Cyprus or Sinai." [40] The overland trade-route from Carthage to Central Africa and beyond. 4600 miles from the Mediterranean Coast to distant Zimbabwe (or 3600 miles to the nearest point in the Nile Delta), crossing arid deserts, fever-ridden swamps, and dense equatorial jungles, the effort to transport a pound of chromium was prodigious, supplies scant, and cost astronomical. By comparison, importing ingots across the Mediterranean from Attica and directly up the Nile was a major political and economic coup. As Ramesses III/Nekht-a-neb had it written: "Never ...
462. Afterword [Journals] [Kronos]
... upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Agalon," the Earth . . . obligingly ceases its rotation...... He later says that I "attempt to rescue the old-time religion". To tell of Velikovsky's principal hypothesis in this vein is nothing but purposely misleading. In the story of the crossing at the Sea of Passage, I deliberately did not even mention Moses; and some 200 pages later (in the section, "The Subjective Interpretation of the Events and Their Authenticity") I wrote: "The sea was torn apart. The people attributed this act to the intervention of their leader; he lifted his staff over ...
463. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of Amazon species was associated more with their separation by huge geological ridges dating to 5 to 10 Myrs ago, than to more recent separation by rivers. It is suggested that speciation takes place when a few organisms come across a new ecological niche and evolve rapidly to adapt to it. Fruit flies introduced into America 20 years ago have changed cross the entire continent in that short time, indicating just how fast evolution could take place in a world of catastrophic ecological change. Those few species which are fortunate enough not to be wiped out in a catastrophe and are even more fortunate to find themselves in an unchanged ecological niche remain unevolved for millions of years, becoming living fossils' ...
464. Did Worlds Collide [Journals] [Pensee]
... the simple mathematical model corresponds closely enough with measured reality over the past few hundred years that rigorous analysis of this model has physical significance as a "first approximation" to reality. Littlewood defines collision-free in the Laplacian sense that the solar system can be split conceptually into concentric spheres, one containing each planet, and that no planet can ever cross either the preceding or succeeding sphere. His theorem, taken at face value, indicates that if there had been a Velikovskian war of the worlds, then there must be another such war of the worlds at some time again in the future. (Here the matter of time scales, regarding which the theorem gives no information, is ...
465. Conclusion [Books] [de Grazia books]
... till it finally darts across into the muscles of his hand, permitting a new utterance of the Zealous God to come into being on the scroll [17]. This is practically all that passes for psychiatry in the book. Is Moses, or is he not, talking with Yahweh? Of all that is said and done in the Crossing of the Sea, Buber concludes: "It is irrelevant whether much' or little', unusual things or usual, tremendous or trifling events happened; what is vital is only that what happened was experienced, while it happened, as the act of God."[18] Here is your second greatest episode in Jewish history ...
466. Apocalyptic Imagery In Modern Political Spectacle [Journals] [SIS Review]
... by Hitler of the sacredness of the local Party organisations all across Germany. Everything centred around a bloodstained and torn banner carried in 1923 by a Nazi who had been shot and killed. Hitler spoke of the quasi religious significance of the bullet-torn .. . flag' [7 ] plainly as if it were a bloody relic of the True Cross, with the same magical powers. This banner', he said, has now achieved the holiness of the Holy Grail. I shall personally see to it that it is used for the holiest of purposes' [8 ]. What could that purpose be to the Nazis Simply to have its holiness, first earned in 1923, ...
467. Freud and Velikovsky Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... reasoning. Jones rejected Velikovsky's interpretation of Freud's dreams, comically distorting the method he used. When Velikovsky argued that Freud's own analysis of his dream involving the plants called crucifers should have led him, not merely to examples in botany, but to "crucifix" and "crux," pointing out that crucifer literally means one who carries a cross, Jones contended this was "speculative play on words"; he denied that "crucifers in a dream" (including the dream of a renegade Jew like Freud, who neurotically avoided visiting Rome) "must refer to the Cross of Christ." Velikovsky did not say that. Nor did he contend that as a student Sigmund ...
468. The Legends of the Jews: Volume I - Abraham [Books]
... , but it was proper for them to pay their respects to the lady of the house and send her the cup of wine over which the blessing had been said.[146] Michael, the greatest of the angels, thereupon announced the birth of Isaac. He drew a line upon the wall, saying, "When the sun crosses this point, Sarah will be with child, and when he crosses the next point, she will give birth to a child." This communication, which was intended for Sarah and not for Abraham, to whom the promise had been revealed long before,[147] the angels made at the entrance to her tent, but ...
469. Beyond the Mountains of Darkness. The Search for the Ten Lost Tribes [Journals] [Kronos]
... northward. Not satisfied with the passage along the coastal road of the Caspian Sea, they also explored the mountainous passes. Sargon, the conqueror of Samaria, wrote in his annals: I opened up mighty mountains, whose passes were difficult and countless, and I spied out their trails. Over inaccessible paths in steep and terrifying places I crossed . . .( 3 ) The descriptions of Tiglath-pileser and Sargon of their campaigns in the north lead us to recognize that they passed the mountains of the Caucasus and reached the steppes between the Don and the Volga. When the barrier of the mountains was overcome, they could proceed northward in a sparsely populated area barren of natural defenses ...
470. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from a vantage-point substantially off axis, not too far from the plane of the torus. The most intense currents in a plasma torus are concentrated at the center and surrounded by a number of concentric "shells." Because the outer shells have a low opacity, an observer can see deeply inside the torus. The center of the toroid cross section becomes more visible at optical wavelengths as the outer plasma shells become less opaque. In addition, the toroid tends to flatten with increasing current, a characteristic revealed by innumerable instances of the eye mask globally and as seen in the ancient Sumerian symbols of the goddess Inanna on the right. A Radical Approach to Rock Art Peratt's findings ...
