... flipped over, Warlow points out. Plato wrote, "God himself guides and helps to roll over the world . . . and there is a time . . . when he lets go, and the world . . . turns about and by an inherent necessity revolves in the opposite direction. . . . Hence there occurs a great destruction of animals which also extends to the life of man." Hopi Indian legends also tell of pole shifts. According to them, Warlow says, the gods who were in charge of the North and South poles were commanded by the Great Spirit "to leave their posts at the north and south ends of the world's axis, where ...

784. Fossil Radioactive Bones [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... neutron irradiation since we would then find these "artificial" radioactive materials and their daughter products instead of "natural" ones in the fossil bones, and the radioactivity was therefore not due to activation by extraterrestrial events such as the popular supernova theory (Schindewolf, 1977). Referring to your quotation from Miller (1841) concerning the catastrophic destruction of fishes in an area at least a hundred miles from boundary to boundary, what Miller failed to perceive was that this was not a single instantaneous catastrophe. At a recent Devonian symposium the theory of Velikovsky (1955) was discussed (PADS, 108). It was agreed that Miller's Orcadian catastrophe would not stand up to scrutiny ...

... and brightly painted structures now all but swallowed by Nature. Mayapan - The relentless scrub-jungle gradually destroys the final monuments of Mayan culture. We then travel on to Mani, a nearby town where the church, and the broken walls of a home said to have been occupied by Diego de Landa still stand. The Conquistador/Priest ordered the destruction of the elaborate hieroglyphic books of the Mayan culture, a deed still deplored by the modern descendants of the Maya. At the same time, de Landa, is also credited with preserving some of the Mayan tongue by compiling a rough Spanish-Mayan alphabet. From Mani, we head for a late afternoon meal and some shopping in Ticul, ...

... a similar importance at Machu Picchu. The Intihuatana, a large granite rock carved into a complex, oddly beautiful form, is known from tradition to be associated with observations of the Sun's motion but the particular method of its use remains a mystery. Unlike other examples of the form, the "hitching post" at Machu Picchu had escaped destruction by the Spanish. The shape of its base is designed to mark the cardinal points, as guides are fond to demonstrate with a magnetic compass. That astronomical North, which the Inca would have used as a reference, is within one degree or so of the magnetic measure at this latitude is a happy coincidence for magnetic compass " ...

... pulled the oceans up into and eight mile high flood tide, which together with condensation from the atmosphere, caused the Deluge. Hoerbiger, Hans and Fauth, Philipp. Glazialkosmogonie. 1913. This book details the "ice cosmology" which was adopted enthusiastically in Germany during the 1930s and 1940s. Bellamy adopted Hoerbiger's ideas of the acquisition and destruction of a series of moons by the earth as the basis of a catastrophist theory for the history of the earth. Incidentally, Hoerbiger suggested that both Mercury and Venus had once had orbits outside that of the earth. These two planets passed by the earth but were too large to be captured by the earth as moons. The current ...

... Mount Wilson Observatory Association Board of Directors, Los Angeles Astronomical Society. From: Ted Holden, medved@access5.digex.net Date: 25 Sep 1995 09:10:24 -0400 That's absurd. Plato spells it out in no uncertain terms in Timaeus, in which an Egyptian priest tells Solon directly that the Phaeton myth (the destruction of the known world by fire as related in Ovid's Metamorphoses and other works) ". .. has the form of a myth, but actually signifies a declination in the bodies which revolve about the heavens, and a great conflagration which recurs after long intervals..." That's about as clear-cut as anything you might ever hope ...

... to approximately 365.25 days per year. He quotes from a substantial number of ancient sources for his argument. His agent for this significant change to the orbital period of the Earth's travels around the Sun was the planet Mars. Velikovsky maintained that Mars caused disruptions on a 15-year cycle. One of the more famous disruptions resulted in the destruction of Sennacherib's army outside the walls of Jerusalem in 687 B.C . More specifically, Velikovsky calculated that, by present reckoning, this event occurred on the night of March 23rd. [1 ] My Present Position However, amongst the evidence available to prove his point, Velikovsky unfortunately missed or failed to appreciate some very vital pieces ...
