... positing that "in 1500 B.C . a large fiery body broke away from the planet Jupiter and went into orbit round the sun." Otherwise, Velikovsky is given fair treatment, and the activities of the (un-named) comet are enumerated, "cataclysmic earthshock", plagues, famines, heaping up of the Red Sea, destruction of Jericho by earthquake. PIONEER SATURN - Scientific American April 80, p. 64-5 In the "Science and the Citizen" section there is a summary of some recent Pioneer 11 findings. Saturn seems after all to have a magnetic field, albeit a weak one (0 .2 gauss as compared with the 0.5 of ...
732. Legends and Scripture [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . These are the seven sources of the difficulties of the fables..." One of many debts that we owe to Plato is his respect for myth and legend. He, too, fulminated at those who dismissed or, worse, corrupted history by their misuse of legends. In my skeptically minded exploration of the story of the destruction of Atlantis, the attitude of Plato mitigated my doubts. Plato goes out of his way to insist that the story be taken seriously, despite its prehistoric origins. Critias, his protagonist, is given to claim repeatedly that he heard and learned the story from his grandfather as a true and exact account. Significantly, to a modern ...
733. Editorial C&AH II:1 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . In this issue we concentrate dramatically on catastrophism. The first article is by John Fermor. His approach tackles the very interesting topic of the 360-day year, one of the points discussed over and over when proof is necessary for ancient catastrophism. The other article is by Donald and Phillip Patten; it covers, among many things, the destruction of the giant mammals (megafauna). In the September issue of National Geographic an article, "Search for the First Americans." had to come to terms with this extinction of megafauna and the rise of the pygmy fauna all within one millennium. The Pattens tie the extinction of the megafauna with the abatement of longevity among the ...

... , F., in American Astronomical Society, DDA meeting #32, #08.08 The problem of Saturn's massive and youthful rings is well-know: Saturn's ring system (especially its A ring) could not survive for longer 100 millions years. This implies that the rings seem to have resulted from a very unlikely event, perhaps the destruction of a moon impact cometary or tidal disruption of a large comet passing within Saturn's Roche radius. I present another scenario of formation and evolution rings in the light of the dynamics of Prometheus-Pandora, Saturn's inner satellite pair. These moons have resonances with the rings, pull angular momentum out of the rings and therefore evolve outward. This effect ...
735. Shishak, the kings of Judah and some synchronisms [Journals] [SIS Review]
... : SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1997:2 (Apr 1998) Home | Issue Contents Shishak, the kings of Judah and some synchronisms by Michael G. Reade Summary Synchronisms between Palestine and Egypt during and to either side of the divided Monarchy; integration with the climatically disturbed and intermittently catastrophic era described by the Ninsianna tablets; the miraculous destruction of Sennacherib's army; the era of 10 month years. Introduction The researches of the New Chronologists', possibly due to over-concentration on detail, appear to be straining the overall picture of the chronological relationships between Palestine and Egypt more than seems reasonable. It is worth going back to the original raw data to check whether current trends - ...
736. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 1 (1980), p. 65-9. In his article Ahlstrom doesn't find enough Old Testament support for a Joshua invasion around 1200 B.C ., feeling that such a tradition arose from later rationalisations. Among his reasons for a later invasion are: Late Bronze II and Early Iron I materials are much the same, that no destruction levels can be found dated from shortly before 1200 B.C ., and that the Israelites couldn't have been cursed by any king of Moab since there wasn't a Moabite kingdom in the 13th century B.C . It is noted (p .69) that the prophet Balaam, called by the Moabite king to curse the Israelites ...
737. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... long eight columned hall and store rooms along the sides, and a large courtyard surrounded by porticos. The temple is part of Strata IC-IB, dated by the authors to the 7th century BC and thought to include the later Assyrian occupation and a succeeding phase of Egyptian domination following Assyrian withdrawal in the late 7th century, and ending with total destruction by Nebuchadnezzar in 603 BC. On a reduced chronology this stratum might be dated to the Persian period, thus requiring the inscription to date from an earlier stratum than IC, which brings us to the all important question of the position of the inscribed limestone block. It was found upside down close to the rear (i .e ...
738. Evidence of a Tunguska-type event in the year 1178 AD [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Home | Issue Contents Evidence of a Tunguska-type event in the year 1178 AD Emilio Spedicato Universita' di Bergamo In Worlds in Collision Velikovsky paid attention to two catastrophical events that happened one in the second millennium BC (the event associated with Exodus, by him dated at 1447 BC) and the second one in the first millennium BC (the destruction of Sennacherib army near Jerusalem circa 700 BC). These events were attributed by him to the close passage of a planetary body (identified actually as Venus and Mars, respectively). In the last two millennia there is no evidence of a close passage of large bodies, present known planets being safely located on almost circular orbits quite ...
739. Ice Cores and Common Sense (Part II) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... is beside the point. Nothing can be seen in any ice core yet drilled that could pass for the extraterrestrial debris of Worlds in Collision. And a writer who fills up 35 pages on the subject of ice cores and Velikovsky without ever facing up to this issue has no right to accuse anyone else of sweeping dust under the rug. Destructive Testing From time to time Rose makes some reckless statement on no other authority but his own: Much of the Dye 3 and other core is no longer available for further study anyway. There has been destructive testing on a rather massive scale.42 It is in the very nature of the testing that material is consumed, or its ...
740. Maya Cosmos: A Saturnian Interpretation [Journals] [Aeon]
... to the ecliptic, the Milky Way, and the Zodiac. [4 ] More will be said about this later in the Appendix. Actually it amazes me that mythologists can read myth after myth about cosmic battles, featuring decapitated bloody bodies and blazing thunderbolts and earth-shaking catastrophes, and conclude that people around the world intended the account of this destruction to be understood as an analogy of the slow movement of the planets and stars. To me, it is far easier to believe that ancient peoples, every bit as intelligent as ourselves, actually saw something tremendous than it is to think they could all give birth to the same cosmic operas based on the gentle little twinkles of lights ...
