... destruction until Zeus, the All Father, slew Phaeton with a thunderbolt and he was hurled into the river Eridanus, which was thereby set ablaze. Plato, we remember, alludes to this myth in connection with the submersion of the island of Atlantis, terming it the "declination of heavenly bodies," as the cause of the vast earthquakes, floods, and conflagration on earth, a catastrophe, said he, recurring at vast intervals of time, when almost all that had gone before was destroyed. The story of Phaeton's "escapade" certainly immortalises the memory of a remarkable celestial event at a distant day in the history of mankind. It appears to be synonymous with ...

... PharaohSo at the time of Hosea, therefore Shoshenq I the first ruler of an Assyrian Dynasty (not Libyan) put in place at the time of the invasion of Tiglathpileser III under his Governor Idi-Bi'ilu.

83. The After-Effects of Newton's Comet of 1680 AD [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the trees and, as this big storm' was apparently normal' and not caused by anything special, my interest faded. The stimulus to sit down and write after all this time came from an article on Benny Peiser's CCNet [2 ], which reported that a Japanese tsunami of 1700 had been linked to a massive North American earthquake. The source was an article in Science Daily [3 ], itself inspired by one in a geophysics journal [4 ]. The details, expanded in another article in Science Daily [5 ], are very precise: a shipwreck had been found off the island of Honshu, Japan, dated by the Nakaminato municipal records ( ...
84. A Fire not Blown [Books]
... the form of lightning. Descriptions from all over the world of a snake-like object in the sky were probably inspired by the sight of the tail of a comet. The head of a comet with protuberances would be seen as the head of a bull, goat, stag or other horned creature. Piezoelectric effects in rocks as a result of earthquakes led to the study of the earth goddess Ga, Da, or Ge. The Egyptian neter, divine,represented by what may be an axe, has the same consonants as the Greek antron, cave. Antron probably means a cave formed by a split in the rock. The Lydian word pel, cave, is related to ...
85. Myths of the Cataclysm Caused by the Breakdown of a Former Satellite (The Book of Revelation is History) [Books]
... judgment, the `great tribulation', which simultaneously begins to operate on the earth, is to strikingly correct to be merely regarded as a literary trick. THE FIFTH MYTH (Rev. vi. 12-17) (vi. 12) And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as [if obscured by] 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 ...
86. Could an Explosive Volcanic Eruption be Produced by the Nearby Passage of a Cosmic Body? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , or touch. We know that the world extends beyond these geographical limits; but if our homes are shattered, thrown down, flooded, or damaged beyond immediate repair, we call it a catastrophe' though well aware that the event is purely local. Descriptions of catastrophes on a larger scale such as hurricanes, floods, eruptions or earthquakes - which devastate vast areas though only a small percentage of Earth's surface - are brought to us from around the world by the immediacy of modern communications. These larger catastrophes are caused by the Forces of Nature', the most sudden and dramatic being, without doubt, earthquakes and explosive volcanic eruptions. However, some accounts written before ...

... are still under the Asian continental crust. According to current theory they should have been subducted into the lower mantle. The report of March 3rd tells of increasing evidence that sea floors are seismically active: theory predicts that they should be aseismic. The waves generated spread differently from those normally detected, and have been missed by standard surveys. Earthquake Electrics?sources: New Scientist 18.2 .88; p.38; ibid 21.1 .88, p.68 Seismologists are in a quandary: they have found that shock waves produced by earthquakes travel faster when going North-South than East-West and they cannot explain it. "All of the possible explanations of this phenomenon ...
88. Analogous Mountain Building [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... surface of a sphere, therefore giving it greater rigidity, should have, in accordance with the rug experiment, produced continuous mountain building on the east coast of the Americas from Newfoundland through Florida and Brazil to Argentina: but it did not. If, on the other hand, the pressure accumulated until the crustal rocks failed as in an earthquake, perhaps resulting in a sudden surge, this could, from the rug experiment, be expected to cause uplift on the western coasts. Suppose that the slow pressure of continental drift could be absorbed and stored in the tectonic plate over the millennia, and instead of the folding being caused by continental creep, it was released suddenly ( ...
89. Sagan's fourth problem: Terrestrial Geology And Lunar Craters (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... hidden by ice, we know as Greenland, a single island. "My belief that the map might be authentic was not shaken by the fact that it shows such an unusual topography for Greenland. For, as I have explained, the topography of both Greenland and Iceland has been drastically altered since the Middle Ages by erupting volcanoes, earthquakes, and ice caps. Consequently, an accurate ancient map would show both countries with contours unlike their modern contours." [A world-wide catastrophe such as that described by Velikovsky would also have changed the topography.] Mallery continues, "So assuming that the map was an ancient Norse sailing chart, I platted it on a polar ...
90. Venus Before Exodus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of you following Geoffrey Gammon's talk on his Stratigraphie Comparee.... In academic circles, Schaeffer's work has been studiously ignored, yet it is of momentous significance. Schaeffer found that the break at the end of the Early Bronze Age had occurred simultaneously, and he declared it the work of natural forces and, in particular, of earthquake. There was, of course, evidence of destruction by fire in many places, but this was supposed to have been man-made. I think we should examine this supposition further. I'll cite Troy and Alalakh as examples. At Troy, Schliemann described his Second City (the end Early Bronze, or IIg as it is now known ...
