... The geological evidence in this chapter also provides good support for the postulated 2300 BC event. There is much data indicating that Earth may have undergone some sort of geological perturbation at that time, and I propose to discuss it under the following headings: 1). initiation of crustal movements 2). global sea level discontinuities 3). earthquake activity 4). a unique volcanic eruption pattern 5). a transient in the geomagnetic field, and 6). a transient in the atmospheric radiocarbon level The primary dating method for geological deposits under 50,000 years old is radiocarbon dating. Radiocarbon measurements are performed on marine organisms along boundaries of oceans, lakes and rivers, ...

... preparatory in some measure, and that the violence and Consummation of the Deluge depended upon the disruption of the great Abyss. Therefore I saw it necessary, to my first thought, concerning the smoothness and plainness of the Antediluvian Earth, to add a second, concerning the disruption and dissolution of it; for, as it often happens in earthquakes, when the exterior Earth is burst asunder, and a great Flood of waters issues out according to the quantity and some of them, an inundation is made in those parts, more or less so I thought, if that Abyss lay under ground and round the Earth, and we should suppose the Earth in this manner to be ...

... of the distance down the mountain. At the same time the large cone, called Monte Rosso, was created and covered a circuit of about two miles with a deep deposit of black sand containing innumerable crystals of augite. It was the lava stream from this mountain which destroyed Catania at that time, and the eruption was marked by an earthquake of unprecedented severity. The orthodox view is that the internal heats of the earth caused the eruption of Etna, and the eruption was of sufficient violence to eject this mass of Monte Rosso after causing a fissure owing to the pressure of the lava within. Against this we must set the established fact that ejections of basaltic character flow in ...

There was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. "2 The Mayas tell of days of great cataclysm involving earthquakes, apparent disruption of the regular motion of the solar system, and rivers turned to blood. The Finns say the world was sprinkled with red milk, and the Altai Tartars tell of a catastrophe when blood turns the whole world red. 3 Why is the Red Sea called "Red"? Red River, at least in many ...

... so I shall venture to deal briefly with it. February 24, Mount Popocatepetl, Mexico, burst into eruption to the terror of the neighbouring Indian population, as it been quiescent for nearly four hundred years. This eruption ended with severe weather in the United States, but Europe was not affected. On March 15 there was a fierce earthquake in Yunnan, China, where a great black cloud rolled up, and this, did not influence Europe meteorologically, for the earlier months of the year in Britain were unusually fine. After May 23 for a little time the weather was definitely subjected to a considerable adverse influence, which was experienced also in France and Spain. Can ...

... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Three: Volcanic Powers And Limitations V - Volcanic Islands and their Origin EARTHQUAKES occur more frequently north of the Equator than south of it, and possibly owing to the inclination of the earth's axis, from the vernal to the Autumn Equinox more seismic movements occur in the Northern Hemisphere during summer months than in the winter period, and, correspondingly, as records go, more of such movements occur in the Southern Hemisphere in their summer period. This is not invariably the case, as, for instance, the Lisbon Earthquake of November 1, 1755, but it is frequently so. Leaving aside the intensely ...

... that these are caused by the expulsion of heated materia in the earth's core. This super-heated material expelled from a core which is at the same time supposed to be cooling, thus leading to contraction, seeks thereby vents or out lets and so forces its way upwards through assumed "faults" or weaknesses in the earth's crust. Similarly the earthquakes usually accompanying an eruption which shake the surrounding region are deemed by geological dogma to be caused by a subterranean readjustment of the various strata due to this alleged shrinking of the earth's interior. Opposed to such dogma, it may be said that there is no evidence of a heated interior of the earth but quite the contrary; there is ...

38. In Search of the Exodus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... One amounts to a ruse, [25] while the other has distinctly cultic parallels like a yearly re-enacted festival in which a priest bearing horns leads a procession around the city perimeter seven times (a number of universal but murky esoteric value). The ritual re-enactment of the collapse of Jericho's walls during, it seems, logically, an earthquake, may have belonged to the nearby sanctuary at Gilgal, three miles NE of Jericho. As such, the earthquake may have preceded the Israelite entry considerably. We could continue in much the same vein, the format of Judges revolving around the six or seven charismatic figures associated with the actual impingement by divinity upon the world of man ...

... the year of the Exodus. This year would fall in the reign of Amenhotep II; and the invasion of Palestine in -1407 would coincide with the time of the el-Amarna letters. The view that the Habiru were invading Hebrews was corroborated by the results of excavations of Jericho, where in the walls of the ancient city were found indications of earthquake and signs of fire, which the excavator referred to -1407 or thereabouts- the time of the el-Amarna correspondence.14 This earthquake might have been the cause of the fall of the walls of Jericho when the Israelites, after crossing the Jordan, besieged the city. 12: Scholars writing in English have no unified method of transliterating the guttural ...

... , of Professor Schaeffer's book is Stratigraphy Compared and Chronology of West Asia (3rd & 2nd Millennia BC) '. It is still often quoted for its details although its main thesis was not well received by most scholars, Velikovsky being an exception. Schaeffer proposed several waves of destruction throughout the Near East, some of which he attributed to earthquakes. The areas covered included Anatolia, Syria, Palestine, the Caucasus, NW Iran and he also touched on Egypt and Mesopotamia. In this preliminary review I shall stay within the Fertile Crescent, concentrating on Syria (which was Schaeffer's home ground), for it provides the link between Mesopotamia and Egypt. To establish the historical relationships ...
