... are generally believed to have occurred. Now, an energy release of, say, 1000 million megatons associated with any event is almost beyond our comprehension: it is 50,000 million times the energy of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, 20 million times the energy of the Krakatoa eruption, and 10 million times the energy of a major earthquake [10]. Even a much smaller impact would have a considerable effect on the environment. An asteroid or comet striking land would produce a violent scorching wind, a shower of molten rock and hot ash, and a severe earthquake. A cloud of dust would spread throughout the entire upper atmosphere, partly obscuring the light of the ...

... and whose glow, when seen in the distance, resembled or was symbolically related to the rising Morning Star." Forrest was apparently satisfied with the first guess he uncovered. "All we have are some sixteenth century records which say, every so often, that the star smoked, but since the smoking seems frequently to be intertwined with earthquake activityHumboldt's assumption seems reasonable." With that stated, Forrest moved on, never returning to the issue of the Aztec "smoking star." A quite different approach would have been to explore the possibility of a broader Venus-comet association to see where the available evidence leads. Guided by this intent, Forrest would have quickly found, for ...
293. June 15, 762 BCE: A Mathematical Analysis of Ancient History [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Thus, rather than everything else being wrong, probably only this report about a 27th year is in error; if it had been reported as the 17th year, then everything else would synchronize. Thus, here Uzziah starts in 786, the 17th year of Jeroboam II. 3. The Vision of Amos occurred two years before "the earthquake," which took place during the reigns of Uzziah and Jeroboam II. (9 ) Thus, the vision was in 764. Even after making all of the required adjustments for the period from 897 to 855, as per Ages in Chaos, these two chronologies were once more in perfect internal synchronization Amaziah and Jehoash. Only then ...

... in diameter, making it larger than the average lunar mare. The area of this impact structure is a little greater than the combined areas of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York and Maryland. The kinetic energy of the collision can be shown to have been at least one billion times as great as the energy in any one of the largest earthquakes of recent history."[8 ] And these quakes, of course, much exceed the greatest hydrogen bomb blasts in energy output. In a work of 1953, Dachille, together with Alan Kelly, offered the circular Bermuda Deep as an astrobleme. By all odds the largest candidate for craterdom so far, this feature might be ...
296. A Survey of Archaeological Evidence for a Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the test case, since the biblical account of its destruction is unusually detailed and the archaeological evidence is plentiful. MBA Jericho was heavily fortified, in keeping with the picture of Jericho in Josh. 6; the final destruction of the MB city was preceded by a plague (evidence of group burials from the latest MB tombs) and an earthquake (collapsed house walls; release of methane and carbon dioxide into the latest tombs). Plague and earthquake are both reflected in the biblical narrative (Num. 25:9 ; Josh. 6:20). The destruction itself involved the wholesale burning of the city, as in Josh. 6:24. Furthermore, large ...

The anonymous refereeing system can mean that only conformist ideas are officially exposed in the scientific forum .. .. and one must ask what options the scientist with radically new ideas has to get his or her ideas seriously discussed anywhere. ' Electromagnetic earthquake warning New Scientist 6.10.90, p. 27 Japanese scientists have documented unusual electromagnetic signals a few hours before two earthquakes. The radiation came in bursts during the 10 hours prior to the earthquakes. They explain this as due to the build up of electric charge on the surfaces of newly formed cracks within minerals such as ...
298. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the story of Atlantis, as told by Plato, was about a real event. Dismissing theories that Atlantis was actually in the Atlantic, Troy or the Antarctic James also brings the event down into the Bronze Age and presents evidence which he thinks suggests that Atlantis was a kingdom in Turkey whose capital was drowned in a lake formed after an earthquake. Trevor concluded that, although James' theory was interesting, with many adduced parallels between his chosen locality and Plato's description of Atlantis, the problem, unlike the suggestion of the book's subtitle, was far from solved. Those who had read the book agreed that James had presented a very good commentary on Plato and showed him to ...
... 1982 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Chosen People Of Hiroshima On August 6, 1945, a U.S . military chaplain blessed the crew of a plane and wished them a successful accomplishment of their mission- to carry and drop an atomic bomb over Hiroshima. There was a blinding flash, a hot blizzard and earthquake, a mushroom welling into the sky; bodies charred, tens of thousands of them- and the dawn of the atomic age. A score of years later (1967) Robert Jay Lifton, professor of research in psychiatry at Yale University, published a very powerful book. Death in Life: Survivors of Hiroshima. He interviewed seventy ...

... of the priesthood. In addition, at the same time he was struck with a malady which Josephus identifies as leprosy. We think it was a stroke, a result of a ruptured vein in the brain, which was borne from the frenzy of fear of the flyby events of the day. Structures in Jerusalem were damaged or decimated by earthquakes including the First Temple.(19) No discharges of interplanetary electricity are recorded on this occasion for Jerusalem; it was fortunate. Jotham, Uzziah's son, stepped in as co-regent on this occasion, and Uzziah was retired. He had several years left to live. Talmudic information gives the years of Jotham's reign as 25 in number ...
