... in Upheaval" © 1955 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Ruins Of The East In the ruins of excavated sites throughout all lands of the ancient East signs are seen of great destruction that only nature could have inflicted. Claude Schaeffer, in his great recent work, discerned six separate upheavals. All of these catastrophes of earthquakes and fire were of such encompassing extent that Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, the Caucasus, the Iranian plateau, Syria, Palestine, Cyprus, and Egypt were simultaneously overwhelmed. And some of these catastrophes were, in addition, of such violence that they closed great ages in the history of ancient civilizations. The enumerated countries were the subject ...
62. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of craters near the south pole. The daily tidal effects of the Moon upon Earth, in addition to the obvious effects upon the oceans, cause crustal motion generating twice the power of all Britain's power stations put together. Moonquakes may have been responsible for reshaping older craters into hexagons and causing a system of oriented cracks. Unlike the endogenous earthquakes, vibrations on the Moon are caused by impacts.

... ones. I doubt that we can make sense out of these or other events of the Exodus if we insist upon examining them as separate and distinct bits. If it were only a question of a man being addressed by a bush, we might reach into the mental asylums and locate thousands of hallucinators. And if it were only an earthquake that was shaking down the houses of Egypt, we could assert that hundreds of earthquakes occur annually. Of slave rebellions, there are a great many in history. Of stubborn pharaohs, how very many world leaders are stubborn. And so on, until every event is identified with its own kind, but the kinds do not mesh ...
64. Natural Catastrophes in the Ninth Century AD C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... beasts that year, and the winter was very hard'. Reports of this nature, sporadic to start with, became increasingly common as the century progressed. The next mention of a severe winter, but without any additional hardships, came in the Annals of Xanten in 813 AD. Two years later, the Royal Frankish Annals noted an earthquake in Gaul and floods in Germany and in 817 a comet appeared in the constellation of Sagittarius. During the same year, the Annals of Xanten reported that rays of fire appeared' in the sky. Three years later, the Royal Frankish Annals told how persistent rainfall and humidity led to the widespread loss of crops and the death of ...
65. The Case for Catastrophe in Historical Times [Journals] [Kronos]
... flood and appearing red, the Nile waters are by no means undrinkable. Just as the rivers becoming bloody is a phenomenon which has no ready modern day counterpart, so the description of fanned fire being rained down upon the land (line 13) is equally enigmatic. Kinnier Wilson believes he has a modern day explanation. He postulates an earthquake in an oil-rich zone in the mountains to the north of Sumer, and the resulting gas and oil escapes catching fire. The reader will see that this could only account for a part of what Enheduanna wrote - the celestial aspects of Inanna and the bloody rivers being two good examples of things not accounted for - and since his earthquake ...
66. Nor Heaven Nor Earth Have Been at Peace: The Contemporary Foundations of Shakespeare's Cataclysmic Imagery (Concluded) [Journals] [Kronos]
... most frightening of phenomena to the Elizabethans and Jacobeans, however, were comets and blazing stars, especially when they came in conjunction with the violent quirks in the weather already indicated. Comets and other celestial phenomena were seen to be precursors of such long-term disorders as drought, pestilence, hunger, battles, alterations of kingdoms, destructive winds, earthquakes, dearth, floods, and hail. The malign influence of comets and the like was strongly suggested by a passage in the Revelation of John: And the starres of heauen fel vnto the earth, as a figge tre casteth her grene figges when it is shaken of a mightie winde.... And the seconde Angel blewe ...
67. Enheduanna and the Goddess Inanna [Journals] [SIS Review]
... buildings, disrupt agriculture and make people homeless: we would expect, therefore, to see them described in the manner of the above example. That we do not find this kind of description indicates that, although there is a storm, with thunder and violent winds, this is only one small part of the destruction. 4. The earthquake hypothesis' The earthquake is a natural disaster which often has a profound effect on man. Usually it comes on without warning, leaving a toll of destruction and death, its survivors shocked and bewildered. Associated electrical effects are well documented - for example, quite bright earthquake lights', changes in the colour and turbidity of natural waters ...
68. The Great Comet Venus [Journals] [Aeon]
... of Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision is devoted to aspects of his thesis concerning Venus, a planet he says nearly collided with the Earth twice- first around 1500 B.C . and then again some 52 years later. The axis of the Earth was disturbed, and fire, gas, dust and stone descended on the Earth, accompanied by earthquakes and wind, decimating whole populations around the world. Was Venus a comet in early historic times? If so, a hundred secondary issues debated by Velikovsky and his critics are virtually irrelevant to Velikovsky's place in the history of science. Are there hydrocarbons in the atmosphere of Venus as Velikovsky had suggested? Did vermin actually descend on the ...

... our last issue (" Nature's Inconvenient Fossils", SISW 5:1 , pp. 28-9) the preservation of non-bony remains of animals must often demand an unusual or catastrophist explanation. It would be good to have more information about the Ardèche marls, and readers are asked to keep a look out for further discoveries from this region. Earthquake Electrics sources: Nature 3.2 .83, p. 377; The Unexplained pp. 2301-5 There are many unusual phenomena associated with earthquakes: deformation of the ground, changes in activity of small earthquakes, changes in ground-water level and chemistry, the strange behaviour of animals, changes in geomagnetic and electromagnetic fields, and earthquake lights ...
