... earth. What is now the desert of Sahara was an open grassland or steppe in earlier days. Drawings on rock of herds of cattle, made by early dwellers in this region, were discovered by Barth in 1850. Since then many more drawings have been found. The animals depicted no longer inhabit these regions, and many are generally extinct. It is asserted that the Sahara once had a large human population that lived in vast green forests and on fat pasture lands. Neolithic implements, vessels and weapons made of polished stone, were found close to the drawings. Such drawings and implements were discovered in the eastern as well as the western Sahara. Men lived in these ...
202. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... p. 24 What happened to the flora of the Amazon during the ice ages? One researcher says that pollen records indicate that tropical plants migrated into the lowlands and only just managed to survive. However, another thinks that sediment patterns show that rivers flowed inland into a large lake, which would have covered much of the area. Mastodon extinction theory source: New Scientist 27.1 .90, p. 33 Half the mastodon bones found in the Great Lakes area of North America show signs of butchery, a fact which gave rise to the theory that the large mammals became extinct as a result of over-hunting by ancient man. The piles of mastodon bones have been re-examined ...
203. Natural Evolution And Revolution. Ch.2 To Know And Not To Know (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... This statement needs qualification. It is true that the great names in science of the time like Louis Agassiz, the ichthyologist, the botanist Asa Gray and others expressed upon reflection great reservations at Darwin's views, yet they did so without disrespect and purely on scientific grounds. Agassiz pointed out that the skeletal remains of a number of ancient and extinct species of fish documented a better progression on the road of evolution and a better adaptation in the struggle for existence than do later species of fish, and thus the principle of the survival of the fittest had not been followed through. But the academic chorus in Darwin's support was heard ever louder, and soon the spectacle in the intellectual ...
204. Pole Shifts And The Arctic Ocean Ice Cover [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 4 No 4 (1999) Home | Issue Contents PART III Pole Shifts And The Arctic Ocean Ice Cover Charles Ginenthal In my book The Extinction of the Mammoths I made my position clear regarding the reasons that the mammoths could live in northern Siberia during the hipsithermal based on the concept that the pole of rotation was at about eight to nine degrees from perpendicular to the plane of the Earth's orbit. 95 I also touched on this topic in my "ICE" paper. If the pole was much more perpendicular to the plane of the Earth's orbit, for the most part, the Arctic Ocean would have been entirely or mostly ice-free in summer and ...
205. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . CATASTROPHE Supernova Scenarios New Scientist, 19.1 .02, p. 17, 25.5 .02, p. 12 Three years ago researchers found radioactive iron in ocean cores which led them to conclude that Earth suffered bombardment from cosmic rays from a nearby supernova as recently as 2 Myrs ago, which ties in with an extinction event affecting marine molluscs. Now astronomers have traced a source for a supernova which could have been responsible. They have also identified a star they say is on the brink of going nova, so close that it would wipe out life on Earth (although probably not for a few hundred million years). A History of Impact Effects ...
206. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... by Jeffrey McKee (Rutgers University Press, $27) Human evolution is currently believed to have been channelled by climate changes. McKee thinks it has been independent of climate and the prime agent of change is some intrinsic internal force. He points out the huge role of chance in the science of palaeontology; a group may not have become extinct simply because there are no fossils, because there may not have been the right conditions to produce a fossil-bearing sedimentation layer. The following books are obtainable from Sourcebook Project, P.O . Box 107, Glen Arm, MD 21057, USA. Sterling cheques to William R Corliss' at prevailing exchange rates. Postage: $1 ...
207. Changes in the Rotation Axis of Earth After Asteroid/cometary Impacts and Their Geological Effects [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Effects Ing. Ammiraglio Flavio Barbiero Accademia Navale, Livorno The geological history of Earth is characterised by long periods of absolute stability, interrupted by short violent crisis, during which there are volcanic eruptions, orogenesis, climatic changes, inversions of the magnetic field, sea level variations and very often a radical change in the ecological equilibrium, with mass extinction and the emergence of new species. For some of these crises it was possible to prove that their beginning coincides with the impact of an asteroid; therefore a connection of cause-effect between these two events can be hypothesised. This work shows that the impact of astronomical objects as small as an Apollo class asteroid could "trigger" a process ...

... of the [Arabian] Peninsula." So wrote Philby in his book Arabia.1 There was also a large lake in Arabia that disappeared in some geological or climatal change.2 At present, from Palmyra to Mecca and beyond, the Arabian Peninsula is a waterless desert, interspersed with volcanoes active not so long ago, but now extinct, the last eruption having taken place in 1253.3There were also, sometime in the past, numerous geysers all likewise extinct now. Twenty-eight fields of burned and broken stones, called harras, are found in Arabia, mostly in the western half of the great desert. Some single fields are one hundred miles in diameter and occupy ...
209. Editorial C&AH II:1 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... discussed over and over when proof is necessary for ancient catastrophism. The other article is by Donald and Phillip Patten; it covers, among many things, the destruction of the giant mammals (megafauna). In the September issue of National Geographic an article, "Search for the First Americans." had to come to terms with this extinction of megafauna and the rise of the pygmy fauna all within one millennium. The Pattens tie the extinction of the megafauna with the abatement of longevity among the Biblical Patriarchs. This should cause much discussion. In Interaction we have a fine piece by Lester Mitcham on Carthage. The subject of Carthage, Aeneas, and the Trojan War is ...
210. The Planet Earth, Prologue Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... igneous rock that became heated and molten after there was life on the earth. Upon strata which show no signs of fossil life are strata containing shells, and sometimes the shells are so numerous as to constitute the entire mass of rock. They are often found in the hardest rock. Higher strata contain skeletons of land animals, often of extinct species, and not infrequently, above the strata with the remains of land animals are other strata with marine fauna. The species of the animals, and even their genera, change with the strata. The strata often assume an oblique position, sometimes being almost vertical; frequently they are faulted and overturned in many ways. Cuvier ( ...
