Impacts and the Ice Ages source: New Scientist 21.10.89, p. 70 A review of a book on mass extinctions mentions that a meteorite approximately 500 metres in diameter fell into the Pacific Ocean about 2.3 million years ago, shooting billions of tonnes of water into the stratosphere and probably triggering glaciation in the northern hemisphere.

562. In the Days of Seti I and Ramses II [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , No. 2 CHAPTER 4 IN THE DAYS OF SETI I AND RAMSES II The End of the Theban Dynasty Whilst the fall of Egypt's mighty 18th Dynasty in the chaotic events that followed the reign of Akhnaton is normally regarded as traumatic, it is not normally regarded as a violent episode. Yet, abundant evidence exists to show that the extinction of Akhnaton's line was far from peaceful, and that civil war as well as foreign invasion marked the age. The decline of the 18th Dynasty was the subject of one of Velikovsky's most fascinating and insightful books, Oedipus and Akhnaton (1960). Here Velikovsky argued for identifying the heretic pharaoh Akhnaton as the historical prototype of the character ...
563. Three Views of Heinsohn's Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Old-Akkadian rulers are well acquainted with them and exercise considerable control in these areas adjacent to their empire. When, in the 17th century BC, Semitic cuneiform is adopted in Anatolia and Hyksos Palestine, a strange decision is taken by the language politicians. They decide against the Akkadian lingua franca of their immediate Old-Babylonian predecessors and go for Old-Akkadian - extinct for some 400 years! To this very day nobody knows why such a bizarre decision was taken. Palestine proper yielded only one clearly stratified find of the Hyksos period with a cuneiform inscription. It was excavated at Hazor: "Three jugs belonging to Middle Bronze Age II were found in situ in Locus 6175. On one of them ...

... forked tail. Figure 28 Cetus or Seth, the Devil-dog. The Golspie Stone of prehistoric Scotland. The arrow indicates the Cetus beast, the "Devil-Dog" Seth. (Source : Spalding Club). For a complete analysis see Beaumont (1949), 79. This creature cannot with certainty be identified as of a species live or extinct, and is commonly called the Typhonian Animal. ' Sometimes Set is depicted as a man with the head of this strange quadruped." To the Greeks this must be Typhon, hence Phaeton; thus Seth also later ties into Venusian events. Perhaps the constellation and Latin word came long after the sky-seas monster called Setesh (Egp. ...
... Ages were alluded to as "Red Shanks". Diffuse and far spread out as these various nations or tribes of red-haired or blond giants may seem to have been, and except for such lingering vestiges as may be found yet in the north of Scotland and in Scandinavia, long lost to historians and in consequence ia some cases regarded as extinct if not mythical, I claim that they were all of the one family, whether we term them Cimmerians, Ethiopians, Phoenicians, or Thracians. They were of the family of Adam. The Scandinavian antiquarians such as Baug, a disciple of the learned Rudbeck, claimed that the race of Adam was settled in Scandinavia. Some 300 ...

... battle; but some saw Zeus and Typhon while others saw the comet head battling the grip of its monster-like tail. Typhon is the archetype of the typhoon. The Iroquois Indians told a story much like Phaeton and Typhon: Long ago, an immense Serpent bearing horns (encorné) devastated Lake Ontario. The Sun and the Moon witnessed the extinction of the Indians, swallows up one after another by the monster. In the end not a canoe was left on the water, not a lodge on the lake shores. But one day the beast ventured too near the falls (Niagara). The Thunder god slew it with a bolt and left its body floating on the water ...
567. O-Kee-Pa: Catastrophe Myths and Rituals of the North American Mandan Indians [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a third god, the Evil Spirit, who was worshipped during the O-Kee-Pa ceremony and to whom sacrifices were made. According to Maximilian, the fourth god of importance was called Rohanka-Tauihanka, who lived in the planet Venus, and it is he who protects mankind on the earth; for without his care the race would have been long since extinct' [6 ]. The Mandans also worshipped the sun and most of the sacrifices were offered to cosmic bodies. In the moon, they say, lives the Old Woman Who Never Dies, and who wears a white band from the front to the back of the head' [6 ]. She had six children. The ...
568. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... different degrees of proficiency do not include Semitic languages or ancient Egyptian. However Hyk may be related to the Berberian word Ikk, also available in Guanche, which means clan, people. Does there exist a word with similar meaning in ancient Egyptian? Ikk was also the name of a tribe, still thriving in the 1950s but now probably extinct, which lived on a sacred mountain in the border region of Uganda, Kenya and Sudan. They died of hunger when their traditional activity, hunting, was prohibited by the British, who made a national park of their traditional homeland. In Turnbull's The Mountain People (Simon Schuster, 1972) there is the intriguing information that the ...
... it, but from ESE to WNW as is really correct, we can trace the following like ranges, namely, the Ghauts of Malabar, and certain chains in Egypt, Syria, and Northern Africa, closely allied to the Styrian Mountains, the Tyrol, the Pennine Alps (where in Valais and Vivarais are a line of over 200 extinct cones), all in near alignment with the Pyrenees and Cantabrians of Spain. There were once no fewer than fifteen volcanoes in Catalonia alone, and in the Auvergne of France, a considerable range of mainly trachyte mountains from north to south, cutting across an earlier range from Lozere to the Limousin Mountains, covering an area of 126 ...
570. When the Sea Flooded Britain [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , his main evidence is drawn from woods and woodlands in an English context, and that mainly from the Midlands. It has obvious limitations as a result. His coverage of Scotland, Wales and Ireland is brief. Rackham's method is to combine the written record with scientific analysis of pollen deposits, archaeological evidence, fauna and flora survivals and extinctions, aerial photography, testimony and tradition. He analyses this evidence within classifications such as: woodland; fields; hedges; trees; highways; heathland; moorland; grassland; ponds; marshes, fens, rivers and sea. The last section, on wetlands, is pertinent. Dark uses the same general methodology but with increased emphasis ...
