... 500 years.... ' In other words, the mastodon died and its bones were exposed to presumably rather cold air for 2,500 years before the bog developed over them."33 It is simply too much to ask one to believe that this mastodon's bones lay on the warm, hipsithermal surface, exposed to all the destructive, erosive elements, not only of cold, windy winters, but also of summer warmth and rain, for 2,500 years and not have been disintegrated by these elements. Thus far, what I have shown is that Beresovka mammoth in Siberia was eating vegetation that was 6,000 to 7,000 years old and that ...
372. Buried Forests [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... glaciers covered them. This is in no way the case for smaller valley glaciers which do not change the climate so greatly around them and, therefore, trees in their paths may survive long enough for them to be covered or buried by the advancing ice. When forests or trees are buried rapidly and catastrophically the wood is removed from the destructive elements in the environment and does not decay. Hence, finding a belt of undecayed buried forests across a broad strip of the Earth is a clear indication of an immense flood. A further point of significance is the size of the trees. During the hipsithermal period from about 8,500 to 3,000 years ago, the ...
... From "Mankind in Amnesia" © 1982 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents I was compelled by logic and by evidence to penetrate into so many premises of the house of science. I freely admit to having repeatedly caused fires, though the candle in my hand was carried only for illumination. A Reconstruction Of Events The repeated destructions of the world, which happened as far back as the recollection of man can reach, and especially the last destructions, impressed themselves on the memories of various peoples around the world in a manner not to be wiped away. In my published books I offered a reconstruction of some of these events from the historical past, a reconstruction ...
374. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Finkelstein's main critic but Mazar now seems to have adjusted to a position which incorporates the Jezreel evidence. Jezreel, thought to have been built by Ahab (874-853 BC) and destroyed by Hazael (c . 840 BC), had pottery of Iron IIA type (typically dated 1000-900 BC which is obviously too early for Ahab) at the destruction. Mazar now accepts that Iron IIA must be downdated to include 840 BC. However, unlike Finkelstein, he is leaving the start date of Iron IIA roughly where it was - early 10th century. His revised views are included in a report on the first two seasons of excavation at Tel Rehov (Israel Excavation Journal 49 (1999 ...
375. A Criticism of the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... is that in the days of Moses, the Exodus and the conquest of Canaan under Joshua (which he dates to the fourteenth century B.C .) a universal catastrophe overwhelmed the earth-a comet (which later became the planet Venus) passed close to the earth causing tidal waves, earthquakes, pestilence, unnatural darkness, death and other destruction, while causing a temporary halt in the earth's rotation (1 ). These events, Velikovsky claims, are reflected not only in the Hebrew scriptures but also, among other sources, in an Egyptian text called the "Admonitions of Ipuwer" (2 ). Since the Ipuwer papyrus also mentions an invasion of Egypt, Velikovsky synchronizes ...
376. RECONSTRUCTING THE SATURN MYTH [Journals] [Aeon]
... Velikovsky As those familiar with the theory's background already know, my research began with an interest in the unconventional thesis of Immanuel Velikovsky. In his best-selling and highly controversial Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky had argued that the planets moved on unstable courses in historical times, with more than one errant planet passing close enough to the Earth to produce global destruction. The most publicized of Velikovsky's claims was that the planet Venus once roamed the sky as a comet. Without going into the details of Velikovsky's thesis here, (1 ) I must emphasize that the initial direction of my own research followed the uniquely Velikovskian idea that the planets were the gods and that the great dramas of the myths ...
377. Megalithic Circles and Star Charts [Journals] [SIS Review]
... BC may have had their counterpart in changes in cosmology' [31]. This factor might also apply to boro circles found all over Australia. These circles are sacred ceremonial grounds of the Australian aborigines, and are said to represent the sky-world [32]. There is an alternate conjecture that deserves consideration. An excellent example is the destruction of the House of Tiles at Lerna in the Peloponnesus (southern Greece). The destruction occurred at 2300 BC coincident with the destruction and abandonment of many sites throughout Greece. In excavating the site, the investigators found an extremely curious feature of the ruins [33]. Just south of the House of Tiles, there was a ...
378. Distorting and Reconstructing the Past [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Tell Hamadiyah, Munbaqa, Barak, Balawat, and Nimrud) looks thus: Hellenists (after 330 BC)- Middle and Neo-Assyrians (1350-610 BC)- Mitanni (1550-1350 BC)- Akkadians (2300-2200 BC)- Early Dynastic Sumerians (until c.2300 BC) In face of such difficulty, it was eventually suggested that the destruction of Assyria by the Medes and Chaldaeans in the years following 610 BC had been so total that the area was not reoccupied. Assyria, it was conjectured, must have been a wasteland during the Persian epoch. However, it had to be admitted that such a solution seemed to be contradicted by Herodotus, who informed us that the ...
379. "Worlds in Collision" and the Prince of Denmark: II. Hamlet and Meso-American Myth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... their form, the plays have their roots in ritual fertility plays, in which an ailing society is saved by the bravery - frequently sacrifice - of a god of spring; but the greatness of the tragic rhythm discerned here suggests that "the largest analogue to Hamlet is not simply nature .. . but nature aroused and then quiescent, destructive but then re-creative, passing from storm to calm, from disorder to order", and the clear parallel is the scenario of Dr Velikovsky's theories - "instability to catastrophe to stability". The only major difference serves to reinforce this conclusion: the more aesthetically and morally satisfying ending is provided to make the whole palatable as a surrogate ...
