... or obliteration would naturally be progressively greater the farther back into geological history we go. However, the movements of the Earth's crust after the end of a satellite, which are the special subject of the preceding chapter, must generally have tended to place the most important orographical signatures' of each satellite, as enumerated above, clear of the destructive or defacing action of its successor. If our theoretical considerations in the preceding chapter regarding the migrations of the anchorage bollard are correct, then the remains of the anchorage bollard of the predecessor of the Tertiary Satellite, the Mesozoic Satellite, must appear some distance to the north-west of the Abyssinian anchorage bollard, and its major axis should be ...
833. Velikovsky and the El-Amarna period [Journals] [SIS Review]
... if the identification is correct) in his 18th year and if we assume that this was Pygmalion's 7th year, then this must be year in which the latter killed Sicharbas. It then follows that Pygmalion's first year was Shalmaneser's 11th year. If Pygmalion and Abimilki are one and the same, it follows that Pygmalion/Abimilki wrote about the destruction of Ugarit (which occurred in Shalmaneser's 4th year) seven years after the actual destruction. This is pretty unlikely. Mitanni and Medes In the El-Amarna correspondence, letters from Dushratta, a Mitannian king, were found [19]. According to Velikovsky, the Mitanni and the Medes are the same [20]. Herodotus wrote Their ...
834. Possible repercussions of 'The Bible Unearthed' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... as there was no kingdom in that region in the 10th or the 9th centuries, indeed not until the late 8th and 7th centuries (according to Finkelstein & Silberman). I'm not saying they, or Carl Jansen-Winkeln, are right. I only wish to air some doubts as a contribution to the debate. Thus the spate of site destructions formerly attributed to Shishak or, alternatively, in Finkelstein's scheme to Hazael in around 840BC, may have a catastrophic explanation. This was, after all, the era of Elijah and Elisha, a mysterious tribulation' visited upon the Northern Kingdom (in the words of Mesha, king of Moab) and the demise of the Omrides ( ...
835. The Cosmic Origins Of Arthur (Book review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the megalithic cultures to Celtic times but if the reader, with open mind, bears with him as he sifts through the evidence, then a fascinating and coherent picture emerges. The megalithic cultures worldwide came into being as a result of cosmic catastrophes. Megalithic structures, especially the circular henges, were centres for ritual and sacrifice designed to appease destructive sky gods and were therefore intimately associated with the myths about the gods' behaviour which survivors passed on to subsequent generations. In the case of Britain, the Celtic myths which have come down to us from Irish and Welsh traditions and English folklore, if considered seriously reveal the same cosmic history as worldwide myths. The legends which frequently ...
836. Solving the Exodus Mystery by Ted T. Stewart [Journals] [SIS Review]
... at the court of Iarim-lim of Aleppo, Arioch's maternal grandfather, who could have appointed his grandson to govern Eilasar. The third name, Tidal, is a Hittite name. Stewart therefore claims that the circumstances and names of Abraham's time agree with the circumstances and names in orthodox Mesopotamian history. The next significant event in Abraham's life is the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah near the time of Isaac's birth (1846). Stewart visited the site of the ruins by Masada with Wyatt and was convinced they were the ruins of Gomorrah. When I visited Masada (see photo. in C&CR 1996:2 , as the cable car descended, I was sure I could see ...
837. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... heavens. Immersed in the charged particles of a dense plasma, celestial bodies "spoke" electrically and plasma discharge produced heaven-spanning formations above the terrestrial witnesses. In the imagination of the ancient myth-makers, the planets were alive: they were the gods, the ruling powers of the sky- awe inspiring, often capricious, and at times wildly destructive. Cosmic lightning evolved violently from one discharge configuration to another, following patterns observed in high-energy plasma experiments and only recently revealed in deep space as well. Around the world, our ancestors remembered these discharge configurations in apocalyptic terms. They called them the "thunderbolts of the gods." I. CONVERGENCE The Lens of Human Perception When ...

... 5b) the water stood . . . over the whole of this earth', through the action of the demon Tishtar, (ix.. g)'. Amerodad [the angel of vegetation] pounded the plants small and mixed them up; with the water . . . ' . A less thorough (probably only local) destruction of plant life is recorded in the Apocalypse (Revelation viii- 7), though the causation is reported differently. One of the myths of the Voguls, who live to the north of the Urals, tells that when the survivors of the cataclysmal flood catastrophe landed they found that there were neither trees nor other plants on the face ...

... concentrates on the archaeology of the Aegean. In 1996, Zangger was invited to investigate the height of the tsunami that struck northern Crete as a consequence of the collapse of Santorini's caldera. The preliminary result of our work during this first season in the field was unambiguous: there are no indications on Crete that the Minoan eruption of Thera produced destructive seismic sea waves. ' Analysis of a bore drilled a year later showed that if waves were actually produced during the eruption of Thera, their maximum effect was restricted to depositing a thin layer of sand, of just about one centimetre in thickness, at a depth of 3.2 metres below the present-day sea level. ' The ...
840. Letters to C&C Workshop 2004:4 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... specify a 15 year cycle. The closest that he comes to an assertion on this matter is in WiC, [Chapter III, section The Worship of Mars'] where he has once in fourteen to sixteen years'. He relies on a 60 year cycle by choosing to run from the accession of Nabonidus in 747 BC to the destruction date of Sennacherib's army in 687 BC. However, I believe the reliance on a catastrophic period of 60 years is wrong and thus too the inferred 15 year Martian cycle. Roger Ashton and myself, in a series of articles in Aeon, have drawn attention to various ancient calendars that posit a synchronicity of orbital relationships between Earth, ...
