... who may be working on the same problem. After all, even Rose had to admit that "the tippe top movement of Earth merits further study . . ." .( 67) What should be kept in mind is that the earliest terrestrial inversion implied by the mytho-historical record is said to have occurred seven days prior to the Noachian Deluge.(68) In Velikovsky's scenario, this could still have been caused by Venus whose ejection from Jupiter would have occurred at the time of Saturn's flare-up. According to Velikovsky, Saturn's flare-up was due to that body's clash with Jupiter which occurred seven days prior to the Flood.(69) But if, as I contend, ...
362. Nor Heaven Nor Earth Have Been at Peace: The Contemporary Foundations of Shakespeare's Cataclysmic Imagery [Journals] [Kronos]
... which eventually broke through in that year and flooded the land below.(18) In June, 1595, the Gietroz glacier in the Pennine Alps "crashed" into the bed of the Dranse, temporarily submerging the town of Martigny and causing 70 deaths! Ladurie notes that "the hamlet of Ander Eggen was completely wiped out by the deluge of ice in 1595, and became a sort of waste land...."(19) From 1594 to 1598, on the Italian side of the Alps, the Ruiter glacier, in the Val de Thule basin, grew to the extent that it caused several violent floods at Ruiter.(20) While Ladurie has ...
363. Cuneiform Astronomical Records and Celestial Instability [Books] [de Grazia books]
... decipherment of cuneiform languages, but here I shall limit myself to a few points. The reading of the clay tablets that were excavated in Mesopotamia after 1842 provoked a revolution in biblical studies, since it was found that many of the accounts of the Old Testament had close parallels in cuneiform narratives. A typical example is the story of the Deluge and of the Ark. To explain these parallels was a complex task which was rendered even more arduous by the circumstance that the Old Testament is sacred literature to Jews and Christians (divine revelation to the more conservative ones). The problem became extremely difficult and at the same time of utmost importance when it was realized that episodes which ...
364. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... traditions themselves. For example, Manetho's tale of a great calamity in the reign of Semempses of Egypt's first dynasty could be dated at 2309 BC. This not only tied in with Chinese stories of catastrophe in that year, but biblical reckoning back in time from the elevation of Joseph to power also gave a date of 2309 BC for the deluge and evidence from Mandelkehr had showed that there was cataclysmal change at about this time. Tony then led us, with references to his print-outs, through the traditions of bondage and exile, of Exodus and Conquest as derived from Manetho and the Bible and indicated how a wealth of traditional evidence could be incorporated within a single framework. He ...
365. Ritual and Sacrifice [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the church should occur by total immersion of the freely consenting new member in water to signify death of the old life and rebirth in the new. Baptism in a church is general among the French, even though the population has abandoned almost all rituals of the Roman Catholic Christian religion. Early Christian leaders believed that they had found in the Deluge of Noah the ultimate precedent and model for baptism, which repeats for each "saved" initiate the end of the wicked world and the entrance into a new epoch. Rituals are centered upon the creation of the world and man, upon the first time everything was done, upon catastrophic breakdowns of an age and the beginning of new ...
366. Astroblemes of the Earth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... from the plenum its present volume, less its sediments, in a millennium; its sediments could have been laid down in some generations of late binary times by extraterrestrial and turbulent surface events. The observation in the infrared that some nova outbursts produce a significant silicate dust shell (Ney) leads us to suspect that the eruption of Super Uranus deluged the Earth with "meteoritic till", vast intrusions of dusty débris. In a short outburst the débris, which in some geologists' minds must have taken millions of years to sift down, might be plunked down upon the lithosphere. Donnelly (1883/1970) argues that vast fields of till scattered over the world are cometary ...
367. The Gaseous Complex [Books] [de Grazia books]
... around the Sun, a shift of its angle of inclination to the plane of the ecliptic (axial tilt), and a movement of its crustal shell (continental displacement). They include, further, a bombardment or discharge of particles, including cosmic electricity, affecting the atmosphere and magnetosphere that stretches even now beyond the Moon. And deluges of salt, oil and other dense material that spoils the land. With all of this, it would seem that the quantavolutionist would necessarily bungle more than the uniformitarian in describing the natural history of climatic change. He is using, it seems, many more variables, and the more the variables, the more complicated the solution of ...

369. Victory of The Sun [Books] [de Grazia books]
... has learned of controlling himself has been compensated for by what he has learned of destruction. It is deeply feared that a volley of nuclear missiles will destroy the human race. For those who are detached observers of the cosmic scene, quantavolutionary history offers a half-promise: nuclear bombs probably cannot exterminate this hardy species. In ancient times, universal deluges have driven people to the heights to survive. Sheets of fire have not reached survivors in their miles-deep caves. Tides have swept over mountains but passed over caves on the opposite slopes. The fall-out of deadly radiation had missed deep pockets of still air; also, there are humans suspected of possessing a partial immunity to radiation. The ...
370. Ice Cores of Greenland [Books] [de Grazia books]
... and hopes. Acting as one of them, the present writer must shepherd his own flock of theories. These contemplate a world history that experiences a half-dozen major quantavolutionary episodes over the past 14,000 years. During this period of catastrophes, Greenland would have been severed on all sides from a Pangean land mass. It would have been deluged by ice, then overrun by tides, then subjected some 6000 years ago to another deluge of ice. Much of the ice (and snow) would have originated exoterrestrially. Cataclysms are pictured that would build a kilometer of ice in a short time. Many successive waves of snow and ice, whirled about, as pure and free ...
