... , 5 and he categorically concludes that the contemporaneous destruction-layers, found in the archaeological stratigraphy on many sites of Eurasia, can only be the result of catastrophes and events which were not provoked by man's action.6 2. C. F. A. Schaeffer presumes that the catastrophes which caused the end of civilizations in Eurasia originated in devastating earthquakes which shook the world. He mentions that many sites show that the destructions have been contemporary with `climatic changes, which seem to have brought about transformations in the occupation and the economy of the country.7 Schaeffer does not seem to have been struck by the connection between those two important contemporaneous events: earthquakes and climatic changes. ...
... unfathomable. With some architect friends the writer has toyed for weeks with a model of this block and its likely extensions, but it was impossible to find a satisfactory approach. All that can be said is that the form of the glass-hard andesite block is evidently purposeful and that the intricate mortising together must have given immense powers of resistance to earthquake shocks to the building it was (intended to be) part of. The famous sculptured Calendar Gate' (cf. Diagrams 9 and 10), for instance, which was found in the precincts of the Sanctuary, or Sun Temple, of Kalasasaya, is about 10 ft. high, by 12 ft. wide, and ...
213. The Orientation of the Pyramids [Journals] [Pensee]
... the poles; but in Earth in Upheaval, on the basis of geophysical facts, I ascribed lasting change only to the first kind of displacement, and changes of temporal character to the second. An application of force (or force field) on the globe creating any such displacement would result in stress in the terrestrial strata and in great earthquakes, and the question could be asked: How is it that the pyramids still stand? Years ago I wrote on the subject (in a debate with Professor J.Q . Stewart, Princeton astronomer, in Harper's for June 1951): "Their solid construction (one percent free space inside) prevents the stones from being moved ...
214. A Maya Record of Two Thousand Years? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... human time scale. If the water did not disappear in the formation of glacial ice caps it receded because of massive mountain building on land, or both. In any case, rapid changes of this kind in the earth's crust would, over a period of time, cause a succession of volcanic explosions, sharp climatic changes, and violent earthquakes, accompanied by tsunami and coastal floods, if the drop took place in sudden steps. The archaeological and historical evidence shows abrupt changes in populations and cultural discontinuities, such as the destruction of Troy III, the Middle Kingdom in Egypt, and the Middle Bronze Age in general. In America the middle of the second millennium B. ...

... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1999:2 (Feb 2000) Home | Issue Contents Letters Geological Transients in 2300 BC I was interested in the section of Moe Mandelkehr's article (C &CR 1999:1 ) dealing with Earthquakes and Volcanic eruptions' (pp. 14-15). Sir Isaac Newton made a diagram representing the pull of the moon. It had two vertical components, one corresponding to the height of the moon above the earth and a diagonal known as the tangential component. The tangental component varies as the sine of twice the altitude of the moon or sun, and when the altitude of those luminaries is 45 degrees, the force is at a ...

... : and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho."(71) A similar occurrence took place on the eighth of December, 1267, when the Jordan was dammed for sixteen hours, and again following the earthquake of 1927, when a slice of one bank fell into the river not far from Adam and blocked the water for over twenty-one hours; at Damieh (Adam) the people crossed the river on its dry bed." The fall of the walls of Jericho at the blast of the trumpets is a well-known episode, but it is ...

... . . . Even sacred caves fell in like the one at Arkalokhori."8 Volcanic ash fell on the island and great tidal waves moved toward the island from the north and swept over it. In this catastrophe Crete received "an irreparable blow." The only explanation for the upheaval "is one of natural causes; a normal earthquake, however, is wholly insufficient to explain so great a disaster."9 Then came the destruction of Late Minoan II. The sudden catastrophe interrupted all activity; but there are indications also that, though the upheaval was instantaneous, some preparations had been made in an effort to appease the deity for fear of the impending event. ...

HOW HEROD MADE WAR WITH THE KING OF ARABIA, AND AFTER THEY HAD FOUGHT MANY BATTLES, AT LENGTH CONQUERED HIM, AND WAS CHOSEN BY THE ARABS TO BE GOVERNOR OF THAT NATION; AS ALSO CONCERNING A GREAT EARTHQUAKE. 1. HEREUPON Herod held himself ready to go against the king of Arabia, because of his ingratitude to him, and because, after all, he would do nothing that was just to him, although Herod made the Roman war an occasion of delaying his own; for the battle at Actium was now expected, which fell ...

... the Earth, weighed in at 108 gm, and passed within 1.1 million km.[20] A serious potential for catastrophes is evident in the modified extrapolation of Fig. 2. The formation of a 1.2 km diameter crater might be expected every 2000-3000 years, the energy of impact equal to that of a great earthquake, 1024 ergs. Energy matching that of 10,000 quakes is focused and transformed into a 37 km diameter crater about once in a million years. If about 50,000 km2 are seriously affected by an 8th magnitude quake, each such unit of the Earth's surface would have to absorb at least 1 quake to meet the total ...
