... abundance in England and France, and these bones are not yet fossilized. J. Prestwich, professor of geology at Oxford (1874-1888), was early struck by the finds in the fissures of the rocks in England, central and southern France, Gibraltar, and the islands of the Mediterra nean.3 Bones of animals, living and extinct, in great masses choke these fissures and caves. Some fissures are on top of high hills, and they, too, are filled with bones. The bones are broken into innumerable fragments and are still fresh; artifacts of man are found among them. Prestwich understood that some catastrophe of continental dimensions, with water playing the main ...
342. Getting it Together [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... combining these apparent opposites or at least bridging the gap. What is required is a modern equivalent of renaissance man who can both specialise and see beyond the end of his/her nose. Anomalies are pointed out in scholarship as being those data which do not fit into the general paradigms of knowledge. Examples are: quasars, water, extinctions, speciations, UFOs, Shakespeare, yetis, fire-walking, alchemy and astrology. You need to read the book to know what is anomalous about each of these. But in one way or another they are a challenge to scholarly understanding and therefore subjects for further study or at least curiosity. The 3rd chapter is perhaps the most significant ...
343. Fissures In The Rocks. Ch.5 Tidal Wave (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... sufficient to have caused the extensive breakage the bones have undergone: these, I consider, are fatal objections to this explanation, and none other has since been offered," wrote Prestwich.5 Fissures in the rocks, not only in England and Wales, but all over western Europe, are choked with bones of animals, some of extinct races, others, though of the same age, of races still surviving. Osseous breccia in the valleys around Paris have been described, as well as fissures in the rocks on the tops of isolated hills in central France. They contain remnants of mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, and other animals. These hills are often of considerable height ...
344. The Caves Of England. Ch.2 Revolution (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... England, and to them Buckland referred: "[ The idea] which long prevailed, and was considered satisfactory by the antiquaries [archaeologists] of the last century, was, that they were the remains of elephants imported by the Roman armies. This idea is also refuted: First, by the anatomical fact of their belonging to an extinct species of this genus; second, by their being usually accompanied by the bones of rhinoceros and hippopotamus, animals which could never have been attached to Roman armies; thirdly, by their being found dispersed over Siberia and North America, in equal or even greater abundance than in those parts of Europe which were subjected to the Roman power ...
345. Human Sacrifice - Then and Now [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... largely an account of his research among the Indian peoples of the Andes to uncover evidence that human sacrifice is still practised there today. From the Aymara at Lake Titicaca in Peru to the Mapuche at Lago Budi in Chile he investigates stories, meets shamans and generally exposes ways of thought and belief that indicate that the ancient ways are far from extinct. He started as a high altitude archaeologist and helped to uncover several incredible sites on some of the highest peaks in the Andes. There are more that 100 Incan sanctuaries above 15,000 ft, often with sacrificial victims like the little boy from Mount Plomo. These peaks are extremely difficult and dangerous to climb; a very powerful ...
346. The Impact of Impact! Notes on the implications and the reception of "IMPACT! The Threat of Comets and Asteroids" by Gerrit Verschuur [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in the last few years. As a direct result of the Comet SL9 impact, an almost endless stream of conference proceedings, research papers and new books on Near Earth Objects' ( 'NEOs') and the impact hazard has been published. One of the most noticeable changes from the 1980s (which focused primarily on dinosaurs and mass extinctions in geological time), is the growing interest in and risk assessment of the cosmic threat to civilisation. Moreover, a number of archaeologists, climatologists and planetary geologists have begun to search for possible impact events during the mankind's historical and prehistoric periods. This new recognition of historical catastrophism is the result not only of SL9 crashing on Jupiter ...
347. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... naturally arises out of seemingly chaotic systems, from the behaviour of electrons to the movement of planets. Many of his anecdotes are unorthodox, but hehas little time for self-appointed guardians of proper science'. When Life Nearly Died – by Michael J. Benton. Thames & Hudson. £16.95. An account of the massive Permian extinction which wiped out 95% of life on Earth millions of years before the lesser Cretaceous catastrophe which saw the end of the dinosaurs. Benton presents evidence that the cause was immense volcanic activity. Avebury – by Joshua Pollard and Andrew Reynolds. Tempus. £18.99. Subtitled Biography of a Landscape', this book surveys the ...

... 400 members from 45 countries from around the globe and includes some of the leading astronomers, Earth scientists, historians, science journalists and other people concerned about the hazards from space. In addition to the conference topics, many other issues have been addressed on the CCNet over the months, including: The British School of Neo-Catastrophism; The Mass Extinctions Debate; Historical Catastrophism & Civilisation Collapse; Cometary Impacts and the Origins of Life on Earth; Assessing the Impact Hazard: How dangerous are NEOs?; The Implications of Neo-Catastrophism on Science, Philosophy & Religion.

349. The Miracles of the Exodus by Colin Humphries and The Moses Legacy by Graham Phillips (Book reviews) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... daughter of Jethro. He visited Horeb, the mountain of God, during the heat of summer, taking his flock of sheep in search of pasture in an upland zone – on the far side of the desert. This, he claims, lay east of Aqaba, on a high desert plateau of dark brown sandstone , close to the extinct volcano of Mount Bedr. The burning bush incident he attributes to methane from a natural gas pocket, or volcanic vents emitting gases which can ignite. The mountain of God was already known as Sinai, he says, as Jethro was a priest of the Arabian moon god, Sin – hence Sin-ai. He produces abundant and persuasive arguments ...
350. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... influence of Jupiter and Saturn; when they line up in front of the Sun, could their gravitational pull cause dramatic effects? It seems that they may well cause massive disturbances in the asteroid belt, throwing some asteroids into orbits which crossed that of Earth. The team suggests that a burst of such chaos could explain the Permian and Cretaceous extinctions. Given that the team's computer programme is based only on gravitational effects and not electrical, and given that chaotic systems are not predictable in any case, might we suggest that chaotic breakdown of the solar system could happen every few thousands years, not millions?
