... sort of watered down version of Velikovsky's and based on conventional celestial mechanics. [35] In their model the orbits of the planets remained undisturbed, and the passage of comets presumably exerted pressure on earth's crust, affecting quakes, volcanoes, and even the Rift Valley. Allaby and Lovelock [36] blame an actual collision for the great extinctions at the end of the Cretaceous period but are geologically shy in many respects. Why not go all the way and associate such geological features as the chalk hills of southern Britain as residue of mud and marine organisms deposited by the sea as it emptied itself upon the land? Velikovsky was not deterred or abashed, but he believed the ...
542. The Night of the Gods Vol II [Books]
... like, that I should bring thee my Master, and hang him in the midst of the arch of this dome! This insult deserves that thou shouldst be reduced to ashes on the spot ; thou, thy wife, and thy palace! " The Mangaian universe is like the inside of a vast cocoa-nut., The egg of that extinct giant-bird the aepyornis of Madagascar is as large as 15o heneggs. The eggs of whales are not larger than fern-seed. For the amazingly complex structure of the nucleus, or punctum saliens of the ancients (discovered by Purkinje in 1825) and included nucleolus (R . Wagner) of a henegg, with its system of strands, coils ...
... condemned him to the cross, (9 ) those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day; (10) as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day. 4. About the same time also another sad calamity put the Jews into disorder, and certain shameful practices happened about the temple of Isis that was at Rome. I will now first take notice of the wicked attempt about the temple of Isis, and will then give an account of the Jewish affairs. There ...
544. The Calendar of Kalasasaya (Built Before the Flood) [Books]
... of Tiahuanaco is an original creation of what is practically yesterday. The evidence given distinctly and insistently by the grand piece of sculpture is too strong. For among the chronoglyphs we find at least one animal which does not occur now anywhere near Tiahuanaco: The Flying Fish. And we find among them also at least one animal which has been extinct since Tertiary Times: the Toxodon.27 As regards the toxodon, palaeontologists say that no living man can have seen that peculiar, exclusively South American animal. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Tiahuanaco must have been quite familiar with this queer living fossil', which was already very much out of date' in the Tertiary Period. They seem ...
... leaving the country, crossed the tip of the Gulf of Aqaba and came to the Arabian shore of that gulf. He announced that he was staking his reputation as a traveler and biblical scholar, and that, granted public assistance, he would locate Mount Sinai in Harra Radjla, "which was formerly in activity, but has now been extinct during many ages". An old man, he followed, as he thought, in the footsteps of the prophet Elijah, who also made his pilgrimage to the mountain in the desert. When he returned, declaring that Mount Sinai is Har-Nur (Mount of Fire), east of Ghor, a peak that, like a number ...

... o' th' world, 5.2 .120. There remains, then, the death of Cleopatra. It occurs distinctly apart from Antony's. Like Antony's, it is described as a loss of brilliance and an explosion accompanied by loud noise and the breaking of surfaces. 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 ...
... their sides or covers. Thus, it appears that the use of the Swastika in modern times is connfined principally to Oriental and Scandinavian countries, countries which hold close relations to antiquity; that, in western Europe, where in ancient times the Swastika was most frequent, it Itas, during the last one or two thousand years, become extinct. And this in the countries which have led the world in culture. If the Swastika was a symbol of a religion in India and migrated as such in times of antiquity to America, it was necessarily by human aid. The individuals who carried and taught it should leave carried with it the religious idea it represented. To do ...
548. Chapter 14 Agronomy and Climatology [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... moved farther north into the temperate zone. But secondly, of even greater importance, a fourteen to eighteen degree tilt of the Earth's axis would change the climatic conditions of this region. Summers in the southern Mesopotamian plain would have been cooler because the axial tilt was smaller than at present, and winters would have been warmer (see The Extinction of the Mammoth, by this author, page 205, for a clearer explanation of this phenomenon). Thirdly, this would have affected the rainfall pattern of the region. The farther this region near the latitude of where the deserts exist is moved northward by this axial tilt, the more rainfall it will experience. The weak monsoon ...
549. The Correct Placement of Haremhab in Egyptian History [Journals] [Kronos]
... ; and even at this late date in Egyptology the dominant view makes him vizier and commander of the army under Tutankhamen. It also makes him a denizen of the fourteenth century, though I have already demonstrated, on exhaustive historical grounds, that Tutankhamen and the entire House of Akhnaton belong to the ninth century and that the Eighteenth Dynasty became extinct shortly after. Haremhab, however, despite so many books and treatises and also novels and plays dealing with the House of Akhnaton, stood in no relation to this house: his historical place is in the opening decades of the Nineteenth Dynasty, and chronologically his reign in Egypt dates from -702 to -687. Of those sixteen years, ...
550. Twelfth Or Fourth Century?. Part I Ch.1 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... , was the heroic king of the Twentieth Dynasty. With the end of that dynasty comes the age that is termed Late Period or Late Kingdom, to differentiate it from the New Kingdom. In the accepted scheme, the Late Kingdom spans the time between the end of the Twentieth Dynasty in the final years of the twelfth century and the extinction of the last dynasty of native kings, the Thirtieth, ten years before the conquest of Egypt by Alexander of Macedon. According to the reckoning of modern historians, Ramses III started to reign in the year -1200 before the present era, or only a short time later.[1 ] The major event of his reign was the ...
