... qualify as more than a hypothesis, the step preliminary to theory formalization. What does the observational evidence suggest? In addressing this question, we should first consider the concept of species. Members of a sexual species (as opposed to asexual) can be identified by their capability of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. Sometimes two different species can cross, but either their offspring are infertile or they cannot breed true. They cannot perpetuate themselves and the line will die out. (There are exceptions, however.) Understandably, one cannot always conclusively identify species in the fossil record- most certainly in the case of extinct types. Paleospecies (fossilized or other remains) are necessarily ...
... expected back in 1926 when the popular Press induced numbers of people to sit up late for several nights watching for the luminous cloud phenomenon of i908. Nothing happened at all. They then discovered Pons-Winnecke to be a year late because in June 1927 a comet was observed in the east along the direction reserved for Pons-Winnecke. It was calculated to cross the earth's orbit when its mean distance would be 3 700 000 miles away, 14 000 000 miles nearer the earth (so said the Daily Express expert) than any comet has dared to come in the memory of living astronomers-such is the futile nonsense with which the popular Press feed its readers. At all events the superficiality of astronomical ...
483. Bringing Light to a Dark Age [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... were light machines, designed to carry only one or two persons. Wheels were likewise light, and four-spoked. From the time of Thutmose IV, however, stronger and heavier chariots, with six-spoked wheels, were introduced. These machines, which could carry up to three persons, typically had powerful metal fittings, a wicker body, and crossed quivers at the sides. The earliest Mesopotamian chariots had four solid wheels, and were obviously very slow moving, cumbersome contraptions. The Akkadian epoch saw the introduction of the two-wheeled chariot. By the beginning of the early Neo-Assyrian epoch, in the reign of Assurnasirpal II, chariots are virtually identical to those of later 18th Dynasty and 19th ...

... of Akkad and they united their armies and toward Harran, against Assuruballit, who sat on the throne of Assyria, they marched.8 The assistance Egypt gave to Assyria as long as Nineveh was its ally was not discontinued with the fall of the city but was given to Assuruballit in Harran. The great army of Egypt . . . crossed the river and marched against Harran. . . . The king of Akkad marched to the aid of his army.

Gordion The Phrygian kingdom was crossed by the river Sangarius (modern Sakarya); its eastern frontier was along the Halys River (modem Kizil Irmak). Gordion's ruins are about fifty miles southwest of Ankara and eighty-five more miles from Boghazkoi (Hattusas). It was the seat of King Gordias, the founder of the dynasty, and of King Midas of legendary fame- ...
486. Chapter 5 Pottery Dating, Faience, and Tin [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... that entire chain as it presently holds that chronology together. Let us examine it. In terms of Egyptian chronology, Barbara Mertz claims that "pottery has been one of the most useful tools of the archaeologist."13 Colin Renfrew maintains that pottery dating "constitutes the bread-and-butter of archaeology."14 Stiebing has also given pottery dating and cross referencing of it a prime place in analyzing ancient chronology. In an unqualified statement of endorsement at the Hampton Institute in Hampton, Virginia, in the late 1980s he held that pottery dating was about the strongest evidence for the conventional chronology that he could point to as proof of its validity. As an example of how the process operates ...

... condition also occurred. Plants would not grow and "noxious creatures" which were best suited for this environment were prevalent. THE SECOND ENCOUNTER As the dust settled and the smoke cleared, people saw that the agent of destruction was still a threat. During the time of darkness, Venus had been continuing on its orbit, and would soon cross the earth's orbit again. This approach could have been perfectly harmless, but the earth happened to be near the same point at the time. MINOR QUAKES The second near encounter was not as close or as destructive as the first The Earth was not engulfed in the extended atmosphere of Venus although numerous meteorites hit the Earth. Earthquakes were ...

... of Sargon and Naram-Sin, and they related the appearance of the liver of a sacrificial victim to the events of those reigns. The historical portions of the Assyrian text are compared to portions of the Babylon Chronicle in Leonard King's Chronicles Concerning Early Babylonian Kings. The Babylonian Chronicle as translated by King reads: "The Sea in the East he crossed, and in the eleventh year the Country of the West in its full extent his hand subdued. He united them under one control; he set up his images in the West; their booty he brought over at [his] word."[72] On the other hand, an omen states: "The Sea of ...
... the epicentre of this earthquake lay some way south of Iceland and all the evidence collected to show that a tidal wave starting from its point of inception its force mainly south-west and not north. Here we have connecting links of an earthquake felt in Iceland, a tidal wave, a tremendous hurricane experienced by the traffic on the routes as it crossed the track of the tempest. The force of this hurricane appears to have carried on south Leeward Isles and struck the islands, resulting in much life and property, in the early hours of August . In Monserrat many were killed and injured, valuable machinery was wrecked and all crops destroyed. In Tortola, Nevis, Antigua and St ...
490. Evolution from Space [Articles]
... , if you look at the most recent revised version of the Bible, it doesn't say "replenish", they talk about being fruitful and multiplying- of course it's obvious why, they don't know what the creation means in that context. If they assume it is the beginning of the Universe, you can't have replenish, so they crossed it out- it's a way of solving a problem. Scientists have solved that problem by getting rid of the whole story, just forgetting the whole lot. But I don't believe in throwing away data, my response is, it's interesting- what does it tell us? It tells us about replenishing- can we find any other ...
