... red angry tubular clouds, RAIN AND ACIDS An eruption is accompanied or followed by violent thunderstorms and rain. The vapours which accompany the eruption condense rapidly and the rain falls in prodigious quantities, producing torrents on the sides and base of the volcano. The rain mixing with the fallen ashes, sand, clay, and scoria rushes down in deluges of liquid mud, covering the valleys with deposits of volcanic alluvium capable of producing most fertile crops. Among the acids and salts which condense in due course are sulphuretted hydrogen, sulphuric and hydro-chioric acids, carbon dioxide, sodium sulphate, sodium chloride, ammonium chloride, carbonate of soda, iron and copper chlorides, and sulphides of arsenic ...
332. Sediments [Books] [de Grazia books]
... continents; but they would constitute only a small part of the supposed accumulation. The composition of the slope deposits is unknown. Perhaps half was carried off the shelves in the continental movements and orogeny following lunagenesis. A fifth may have descended from the sky preceding and accompanying the event. A tenth might have been washed in during the Noachian deluge. The small balance may be divided between river run-off into the oceans and cosmic and volcanic fall-out. Ager reports that ". .. chaotic deposits and slump topography have now been found at the foot of many present-day continental slopes."[5 ] The continental shelves and the abysses carry clay. The polar regions and half the ...
333. Quantavolutions [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of edible material, manna or ambrosia, from the sky, and the specters of enormous brilliant comets to which the Earth around us responded like a giant animal coming alive. No mental gymnastics would be required to see in the Earth's behavior an abundance of evidence of at least the one great Flood of Noah in which the whole world was deluged and inundated. Indeed, we should see so many marks of catastrophe that we would have to invent several such floods and conflagrations, and comets to explain the complex piling up of ruin upon ruin, fossil upon fossil, and their bizarre collection and combinations. Practically every extensive ancient document and legend known to us from around the world ...
334. Plato And The Catastrophist Tradition [Journals] [Kronos]
... floods and earthquakes in which the island sank forever beneath the Atlantic and a previous epoch of trans-oceanic navigation came to an end. At the same time "the whole body of [Athenian] warriors was swallowed up by the earth" (Tim. 25D) and most of the fertile topsoil of Attica was washed into the Aegean by the deluge as "the action of a single night of extraordinary rain crumbled it away and made [the Acropolis] bare of soil, when earthquakes occurred simultaneously with the third of the disastrous floods which preceded the destructive deluge in the time of Deucalion" (Crit. 112A).(3 ) The many attempts to interpret this story have ...
335. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... I gave the first half of a talk using outline details from Part 1 of that book. Those details and the resultant conclusions are highly significant for Oriental chronologies. There was an Oriental, composite, Destruction and Rebirth' cycle, represented by the letter M': the MU', MEM' or MA' - Water' or Deluge' cycle. It was made up of 2,300 year lots, 600 year lots and 40 year lots. One such cycle, as per Daniel's prophecy, ended in 69/70 AD at the destruction of the Jerusalem temple. Moses used the 600 year component of this cycle but deliberately ignored the other composite parts in order ...

... too vague for anything but a mere indication. The Irish Lochiann like the Welsh Llychlyl; denoted a mysterious country in the lochs or the sea,"15 which I should interpret as the Universe-Ocean, the Waters. The name Llian or Lliaws occurs in the Welsh Triads16 and the bursting of the Llyn Lllon or Llivon's Lake caused the Welsh deluge. " One of the tarps on Snowdon, several of which have very uncanny associations, is called Llyn Llydaw or the Lake of Llydaw. What can the meaning of the name have been?" asks Prof. Rhys.17 Llyr is also a nanic in the Triads"18and so is Lieu, whose eagle-avatar would make him ...
338. Thoth Vol II, No. 12: July 31, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... Yes - in MY case, there is still an awful lot of mythological material that has not yet been checked (or not checked well enough). EV COCHRANE ADDS: I would agree with Dwardu here. While I am not aware of any major mythological themes that have not been "assimilated" to the Saturn theory- dragon combat, deluge, dying god, warrior hero, ancient sun-god, clown, etc. --it stands to reason that there must be some. ERIC: I am assuming that if the answer is that most important mythological traditions have indeed been considered it is because those are regarded as the oldest and most reliable ones to testthe theory on. DWARDU: ...

... a decade later, blocking his admission to the Royal Society and helping to have Whiston dismissed as a teacher at Cambridge. "Scholars," (Stecchini tells us), "have failed to notice that the refutation of Whiston's doctrine was of major concern to Newton" (140) because Whiston upheld cometary impacts and near approaches, the Deluge, a shorter year and random cosmic events, whereas Newton was concerned to prove that nature is providential and that "the world is stable and has remained unchanged since creation." (141) What we see in each of these instances is a process of demonization in which the enemies of uniformity, the catastrophists, are said not ...

... (in Cancer). Cancer and Capricorn were the two zones the ancients recorded as being the "fear" zones. Berossos, the 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 inhents will, he assures us, be consigned to flame when the planets, which now move in orbits, all assemble in Cancer, so arranged in one row that a straight line may pass through their spheres. When the same gathenag tales place in Capricorn, then we are in danger of the deluge ...
