... both Tokio and Yokohama, which broke Out, not in one spot, but everywhere. In the former city 350,000 houses were destroyed mainly by fire, and 130,000 casualties resulted. The conflagration was attributed to gases released from the earth. The next affliction was a tremendous downpour of rain which lasted for several days and deluged the areas. An enormous tidal wave destroyed many coast towns and four tidal waves crossed the Pacific Ocean, struck the California coast 4,750 miles distant from the point of impact, and broke small boats from their bearings. Islands off Yokohama were submerged and the island of Oshima, it was said, sank into the sea and ...
112. Sinking and Rising Lands [Books] [de Grazia books]
... exist across a water barrier to the west; it had relations with the ancestors of the Athenians and Greeks; it did sink abruptly in an earthquake. Plato's date would place the event at about 11,500 years ago. I attribute this date to a confusion with the lunar catastrophe and assign it instead to the time of the Noachian Deluge, that is, about 6000 B.P . as described in Chaos and Creation. An ancient document, the Oera Linda manuscript, which was written in Frisian with runic characters and whose age and authenticity is much disputed, claims a general Atlantis-type sinking of a prosperous civilization of the Fryas between the North Sea and the Baltic, ...
113. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Indeed, there is a possibility that Earth itself was enveloped within Saturn's own atmospheric shell. But, again, this is a subject which requires further study. Is it possible that debris from Saturn, or one of the other bodies composing the Saturnian configuration, could have seeded Earth's cloud cover to make it rain enough to produce a deluge vast enough to fill the ocean basins? That, of course, would depend on the constituents of the cloud cover, but the idea is not altogether impossible. What is possible, however, is not the issue here- better to ask: is it probable? Immanuel Velikovsky himself was of the opinion that the flood waters originated ...
114. The Olympian Rulers [Books] [de Grazia books]
... : "When I stood up from my seat and let the flood break in, then the judgement of Earth and Heaven went out of joint.... The gods, which trembled, the stars of heaven-their position changed, and I did not bring them back."[2 ] The Age of Saturnia ended in the Biblical Deluge. The Age of Jovea (5700 to 4400 B.P .) began. The planets Saturn, Neptune [3 ], Uranus [4 ], and perhaps a "Planet X' " (suspected to exist but not yet discovered) [5 ] had receded. They were retired gods; mythologists have applied this concept ...
115. Introduction (In the Beginning: God) [Books]
... and, on the other hand, made it impossible to take at their face value the great number of cosmogonic myths of other peoples which were eventually discovered. On the strength of such considerations the great majority of flood myths, for instance, were declared to be merely trumped up reports of local inundations which were not contemporaneous with the biblical deluge. Only a very small number were, admitted to be accounts of water catastrophes on a larger scale and even these were mostly only regarded as parallel versions of the Babylonian myth, preserved in the great Gilgamesh epic (Note 2). Even scientists of note, like the Austrian geologist, Suess, could not liberate themselves from this ...
116. The Periodic Cyclicism Of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... V, No. 1 THE PERIODIC CYCLICISM OF ANCIENT CATASTROPHES By Donald W. Patten THE PERIODIC CYCLES OF ANCIENT PLANETARY CATASTROPHISM "Berossus, interpreter of Belus, affirms that the whole issue is brought about by the course of the planets. So positive is he on the point that he assigns a definite date both for the Conflagration and the Deluge. All that the Earth inherits will, he assures us, be consigned to flame when the planets WHICH NOW MOVE IN DIFFERENT ORBITS, all assemble in Cancer, so arranged in one row that a straight line may pass through their spheres. When the same gathering takes place in Capricorn, then we are in danger of the Deluge ...
117. Velikovsky, Brasseur, And The Troano Codex [Journals] [Kronos]
... "Manuscript Troano and other documents of the Mayas describe a cosmic catastrophe during which the oceans fell on the continent and a terrible hurricane swept the earth." In the documents of the collection of Kingsborough, the writings of Gomara, Mitolinia, Sahagun, Landa, Cogolludo, and other authors of the early postconquest time, the cataclysm of deluge, hurricane, and volcanoes is referred to in numerous passages.... In "Boiling Earth and Sea," the Manuscript Troano is one of three sources that Velikovsky gives for his contention that the Venusian cataclysm provoked massive volcanic activity and the creation of new mountain ridges. One of the other sources he mentions is the Popol ...
118. The Blind Pharaoh [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , the earliest of the Hebrew prophets whose visions have been preserved in Scripture, predicted that the land of Israel would rise up like a flood, "and it shall be thrown out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt." The sun would go down at noon, he prophesied. [11] The reference to the deluge of Egypt appears to be a scholastic insertion, what academic lore calls a gloss, referring to an event which afflicted Egypt on the 12th day of the first month of the second season, in the third year of the Libyan Pharaoh Osorkon II. On that day, a miserably preserved inscription noted, "the flood came on, ...
119. Uniformitarianism, Catastrophism and Evolution [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of loam and gravel as the product of Noah's flood. He was concerned that there were no traces of ante-diluvian humans and the immense depths of deposits beneath the loam and gravel layer suggested that the Earth must be very old, with Creation taking far longer than the six days mentioned in the Bible, but nevertheless the evidence for the universal deluge seemed clear enough. Fossils found in mud deposits in caves in Kirkdale, Yorkshire, and throughout Europe must have been of animals trapped by the rising flood water [3 : p. 120; 8: pp. 42-43; 11: pp. 114-125]. During his inauguration as Reader at Oxford in 1819, Buckland argued: ...
... of the Zodiac, which give the approximate date, a date I estimate to have been about 1560 BC,1 a date much later than Plato's Atlantis is usually accredited with. Be that as it may, we find classic writers like Tatian, Clement, and Eusebius all agreed that the Phaeton "escapade" was identical with the Deucalion Deluge in Hellas, as that was coincident with the Flood of Noah, and these writers linked the Deucalion Flood with the Dog-star Sirius, from whose direction the twin comets emanated. If these facts are correct, opposed as they may be to accepted ancient history and geography as that, we have a record of a vast cometary appulsion on ...
