... a true understanding of these matters, he believes, is contained in volcanic action, and that without volcanoes and meteoric influences the earth would languish and gradually lose its air and sea. The theory is very cleverly presented and is certain to attract a considerable amount of attention.

52. The Sun Ages, Prologue Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the world ages is the advent of a new sun in the sky at the beginning of every age. The word "sun" is substituted for the word "age" in the cosmogonical traditions of many peoples all over the world. The Mayas counted their ages by the names of their consecutive suns. These were called Water Sun, Earthquake Sun, Hurricane Sun, Fire Sun. "These suns mark the epochs to which are attributed the various catastrophes the world has suffered."(1 ) Ixtlilxochitl (circa 1368-1648), the native Indian scholar, in his annals of the kings of Tezcuco, described the world ages by the names of "suns."( ...
53. Megaliths, Moon Cycles, and Movements of the Earth [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , or some such phenomenon, of sufficient import as to describe it as the visitation of the god? Might not the 18.6 year nodal cycle be the key one: but- if so, what were the phenomena which led to sacrificial rituals and talk of gods? Recent work in California has shown that the onset of major earthquakes in the region is correlated with the northern maximum of the lunar nodal cycle and with the New Moon. They are also correlated with the rising and setting times of the Sun, but not of the Moon.(10) There appears to be some combination of gravitational tidal effects by the Moon and shear forces or magnetic effects as ...
54. Continuous Versus Discontinuous and Self-Perpetuating Versus Self-Terminating Processes [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... of response. A high speed process (relative term) creates a disequilibrium situation, and equilibrium is only slowly restored, long after the initiating process has ceased to function. The most outstanding example may well be the case of diapirism. Other processes are selfterminating and will only continue as long as the causative outside stimulus is active. Thus earthquakes will not reoccur unless there is a continuous build-up of strain. To consider geological processes in this frame seems enlightening and has applications in almost all branches of geology. INTRODUCTION Some years ago I considered the importance of the rare event in geology (Gretener, 1967). This paper represents a further contemplation of the subject matter. In ...
55. The Burning of Troy [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of the ecology, cuisine, and religious ceremonies of early human groups. Overall calcination has sometimes, with less than complete evidence, been interpreted as the work of torch-bearing invaders. For example, James Melaart uses the convenient phrase "Whether by accident or by enemy action" to describe the destructive combustion of Troy IIg [4 ]. Earthquakes, too are invoked with some frequency, although a determination that a fire is an effect of an earthquake is by no means simple. On rare occasions, where there exists a historical record such as Pliny the Younger's description of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D ., volcanism is admitted and may lead ultimately to excavation ...
56. The 'Plastic Layer' of The Earth [Books]
... diminishing gradually. The final stage of our planet was to be that of the Moon: a dead, cold body. Progress in astrophysics, gravimetry and seismology was to modify somewhat this conception. A more precise knowledge of the Earth's internal structure is nowadays available through the study of the behaviour of seismic waves. Two sorts of waves characterize earthquakes: `compression waves' (P-waves) and transverse or `shear waves' (S-waves). The S-waves oscillate at right angles to the direction of their motion and do not traverse liquids, because liquids have no `shear strength'. In the case of isotropic (homogeneous) bodies, the P-waves travel faster than the S-waves ...

... robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. (12) And when he had opened the sixth seal .. . there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the Moon became as blood; (13)And the stars of heaven fell unto the Earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. (14) And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is ...

... city as of a much earlier date, and declared the sixth city from the bottom to be that of Priam and Homer. The second city came to an end at the time the Old Kingdom of Egypt fell; it was destroyed in a violent paroxysm of nature. The archaeological expedition of Cincinnati University under Carl Blegen has established that an earthquake destroyed the city besieged by Agamenmon.2 Claude Schaeffer, the excavator of Ras Shamra (Ugarit) in Syria, came to Troy to compare the finds of Blegen with his own at Ras Shamra and became convinced that the earthquakes and conflagrations he had noted at Ras Shamra were synchronical with the earthquakes and conflagrations of Troy, six hundred ...
59. USGS versus Fringe [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... director since 1965, admitted in 1969, in a letter to R.C . Willey, secretary of the American Society of Dowsers, that the USGS did not have enough information to speak negatively on the value of dowsing. Pecora started to refer all queries about dowsing to the American Society of Dowsers (see Willey, 1970). Earthquake lights, luminous phenomena reportedly seen shortly before, during and shortly after earthquakes, have been relegated for some time (perhaps a century) to the limbo of damned facts, but they are now being readmitted, though halfheartedly, in another News Release of the USGS, ten years after the Water Witching Bull. Somebody up there clearly ...
60. The Parting of the Waters of the Red Sea [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of the Model A telluric current of 3.2 billion amperes is certainly something extraordinary. We cannot expect to encounter such a phenomenon today. Are there circumstances that could explain why such a phenomenon should occur at the Red Sea 3500 years ago, coinciding with the Ten Plagues? It was Velikovsky's opinion that the tenth plague was a great earthquake. "The residence is overturned in a minute" wrote Ipuwer[4 ]. Velikovsky's opinion that Ipuwer was contemporary with the Exodus has been the subject of much debate, but several other sources cited by Velikovsky seem to support his view that the Exodus took place in a period of extraordinary seismic activity[5 ]. The Red ...
