... the pillars of Heracles', there lay an island which was larger than Libya and Asia together... ' The Athenian army emerged victorious, saving from slavery such as were not yet enslaved, and all the rest of us who dwell within the bounds of Heracles it ungrudgingly set free. But at a later time there occurred portentous earthquakes and floods, and one grievous day and night befell them, when the whole body of your warriors was swallowed up by the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner was swallowed up by the sea and vanished... ' There we have the main ingredients of the Atlantis story as given by Plato: some 9 ...

... trees; and (4 ) testimony indicates that the meteor changed direction twice before impact. The various theories of what really happened, from black hole to nuclear explosion, are listed without comment. (Rich, Vera; "The 70-Year-Old Mystery of Siberia's Big Bang," Nature 274:207, 1978.) POSITIVE ION EMISSION BEFORE EARTHQUAKES MAY AFFECT ANIMALS Both folklore and modern observations are emphatic that many animals become agitated prior to earthquakes. Cats carry their kittens outdoors; cattle panic in their barns; dogs bark for no apparent reason; and even some humans become restless. Tributsch notes that similar behaviors also accompany certain weather situations, such as the Alpine foehn and Near ...
93. Global Catastrophes: New Evidence from Astronomy, Biology and Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... evidence for widespread and possibly contemporaneous destructions during the Bronze Ages (between 3000 and 1200 BC in terms of the conventional chronology) had been undertaken by Professor Claude Schaeffer, the excavator of Ras-Shamra/Ugarit. Schaeffer's monumental Stratigraphie comparée..., published in 1948, established that Ugarit itself had been subject to repeated destructions by fire and earthquake. [A summary of Schaeffer's conclusions and a discussion of their implications appeared in an article by Geoffrey Gammon in SISR IV:4 , pp. 104-108.] Early Ugarit II had been destroyed by fire and partially abandoned, while the end of Early Ugarit III was marked by a further destruction and partial levelling of the city. ...

... existence. The agents causing the most recent destructions can be identified because people were present to observe, remember, and report the events. The only evidence we have of catastrophes that occurred before the arrival of man is from the geologic record. PROBLEMS IN INTERPRETATION Locally, catastrophic events obviously occur today and have often occurred in the past. Earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, and tidal waves seem like major catastrophes to those of us who are personally involved, but to much of the rest of the world, they are just stories to sleep through during the evening news. The only reason so many people are made aware of them is that we now have excellent communications systems ...
95. The Future of the Past, and, Atlas of Ancient History (Book reviews) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (for example, Zangger appears unaware that the Yam Suf could be anywhere other than the Red Sea, and is confident that pumice found at Avaris in the Nile Delta undoubtedly' came from Thera), this is surely an argument that cannot be ignored. Following the Theran tsunami, the next sacred cow to be attacked is the civilization-ending earthquake scenario of Sir Arthur Evans, Carl Blegen, Klaus Kilian and Claude Schaeffer. Zangger pours scorn on the concept that populations would flee their city in advance of an earthquake and then leave it deserted to be consumed by fire, pointing out that earthquakes give no warning (the first quake is the greatest), any fire that should ...

... a good earth connection. Altars and arks were put on rock or a base of stone, if necessary deepened by a pit filled with stones, as at Alalakh in Syria and at Chamaizi in Crete. In Assyria, a spear stuck in an altar, or a representation of a winged disk in the sky, symbolised the god. Earthquakes, which were associated in the ancient mind with divine activity in the sky as well as underground, were a source Q-CD vol. 13, A Fire Not Blown, Ch. 14: The Goddess Gaia 86 of piezoelectric effects.

... millions of gallons in the course of a year. The accepted idea, namely, that the sun by radiation forms clouds of water drawn into the sky, which fall again as rain, seems to be a perversion of the facts due to a total ignorance of the factors that cause the water and the air. The incidence of any earthquake, eruption, or hurricane denotes plainly enough that new and violent currents of air have been projected into our system, and great quantities of water.

Theses 7 to 13 dealt with the Papyrus Ipuwer and the naos of el-Arish. The parallels intimated in the Theses were elaborated upon in Ages in Chaos. Thesis 9: ". . . Earthquakes, eruptions of volcanoes, changes of the sea profile, were some of the results of that catastrophe." Thesis 14: "The Exodus took place at the close of the Middle Kingdom: the natural catastrophe caused the end of this period in the history of Egypt. This was in the middle of the second millennium before the ...

An invasion of locusts can be described as a local event, accompanied by drought or earthquake (Joel 1: 4-20, Amos 4:7-9) but the same event, in the same prophet, can activate memories of the times of the Exodus or Sodom and Gomorrah (Amos 4:10-11) or escalate to include the celestial signs of the coming day of the Lord' (Joel 2:10-11) [39 ...
