... farthest stretches of the atmosphere, nevertheless blocks and deflects a host of incoming particles. It acts thus like the ozone layer and atmosphere in general, as a protective shield. If it is removed, or temporarily "shut off" because it is shifting, or overwhelmed or shunted aside by great blasts of gases and charged particles, species extinctions may occur. Kennett and Watkins claim, on the basis of deep-sea drilling, that volcanism was at a peak in coincidence with changing geomagnetic polarity [21]. Wollin, Ericson and Ryan have noted by faunal and oxygen indicators at various sedimentary levels that cool climates may be associated with high magnetic intensity [22]. These may ...
532. An Unexplained Arctic Catastrophe – Part II: Some Unanswered Questions [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of these trees was, like that of the molluscs mentioned earlier, sudden', wholesale, and permanent [27], exactly as Buckland had advocated for the disappearance of Siberia's mammoths as long ago as 1823 [28]. According to Bugg, citing the Quarterly Review for Oct., 1823 (p . 474), this extinction was accompanied by a change in the inclination the terrestrial axis, in other words the geographical locations of its poles [29], an explanation, be it noted, urged a full 150 years before Mulholland postulated the same scenario. Many other writers, too numerous to individually name here, have arrived at the same general conclusion, ...
533. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... interplanetary dust falling on Earth. Although it was believed that all the helium-3 should have leaked out within a million years one researcher has found high levels in the oldest sediments from the central Pacific. He found a particularly high peak which he dated to the end of the Eocene period, about 38 Myrs ago, when there was a mass extinction. This is taken as evidence that Earth passed through a dusty shower of comets or asteroids and was not impacted by only one or two isolated bodies. But if the helium-3 should not have been there after one million years, may one ask how the sediments were dated? For the future, builders of the international space station have ...
534. The Catastrophic Substructure of Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... , Sole sir o' th' world, 5.2 .120. There remains, then, the death of Cleopatra, which occurs distinctly apart from Antony's. Like Antony's, it is described as a loss of brilliance and an explosion accompanied by loud noises and breaking. Just before her death, she refers to herself as almost extinct, although ready to flare up if provoked again. Prithee go hence, Or I shall show the cinders of my spirits Through th' ashes of my chance. 5.2 . 172-174. As she prepares for her suicide, her handmaiden again emphasizes the loss of brilliance. Finish, good lady, the bright day is done ...

... for the solar system in Chaos and Creation and discussed at length with Earl R. Milton in Solaria Binaria. In the Uweinat section of the Great Sand Sea of Southwestern Egypt, a number of possible meteoric impact sites have been reported. One, positively identified, is of 4 km diameter; another is of 14 km diameter. Many extinct volcanos are also evident in this desolate area of sand and sand dunes, which was occupied by humans until at least the neolithic period [18A]. A great climatic change must then have occurred lately. The region is part of the Sahara Desert, which is also marked here and there by human traces. The Gobi Desert, ...

Schoch, "Redating the Great Sphinx of Giza", KMT, vol. 3, no. 2 (1992), pp. 53-59 and 66-70 3 Charles Ginenthal, The Extinction of the Mammoth (Forest Hills NY 1997) Charles Ginenthal, Pillars of the Past 41 five to six centuries after the Sphinx was constructed, show this erosion, they cannot have been built until after 1500 B.C .

538. Canopy Skies of Ancient Man by Isaac Vail [Books]
... scene is to be. The oracle had said that Danaus was to fall by the hand of a son-in-law. Which, of course, is but the inevitable fulfilment of the oath pronounced in the Southland, that the form that goes north must fall by the hand of a successor. Lynceus is a form from Egypt, and be escapes extinction and for that reason he is to supplant his predecessor, just as the coming cloud banishes the clear sky. Humanity saw Lynceus the only form that escaped extinction in the poleward march, and oracular law had taught the race that such a form should overoome and take the place of his predecessor, that is, the "one who ...
539. The Moon In Upheaval [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... is, of course, quite in line with Velikovsky's hypothesis, in that both the Earth and the Moon in their tidal interactions with protoplanet Venus were tilted on their axes and had affected rotation, which changed the positions of their geographical poles and left similar alignments on both bodies. Firsoff stated: In the Tertiary [the period between the extinction of the dinosaurs and the present], Britain enjoyed a hot climate. Tropical animals and plants flourished. Then came great volcanic disturbances. The bowels of the Earth were convulsed, sea changed their boundaries, continents were engulfed and on the Moon, too, at the unspecified date of capture- last capture- proportionally even greater changes took place ...
540. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Six [Books]
... Pawnee views on Venus later in this section. Meanwhile, I wonder if this giving of life' by the Morning and Evening Stars is the basis for the "work" of the Morning Star boy in the Wichita legend (above p.438- 9). (viii) The turning red or black of the moon and the extinction of the sun (second paragraph) are commonly encountered signs of the approaching end. Compare, for example, the solar eclipse motif in "Voluspa" (Part 5, p.352; p.356- 7) and Acts 2:20. For eclipses as portents not specifically connected with the End, see Wan Tze ...
