... courtyard, pyramid, enclosing wall and ramp'. Mr Dixon is not the first to suggest these are the remains of ancient buildings; one self-styled biblical archaeologist even identifies these weathered shapes as the ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah. After studying such claims, we visited the area in March 1997, along with David Rohl. David Ellis (Genesis Laboratory, London) subsequently produced a five-page technical report, The Geology of the Dead Sea Shore Formations near Masada, Israel'. A summary of its salient points follows. Although the formations near Masada look remarkably like the remains of ancient buildings from a distance, close examination eliminates this possibility. The formations have a purely geological origin ...
552. Mass Movements in Level Areas [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... soil material without a carrying medium. This is in contrast to transport by a river, for instance, where water is the carrying medium. The author's experience in soil survey has convinced him that several forms of mass movement have played an important role in shaping level areas. Many mass movement deposits are normally identified by excluding other modes of genesis and by their chaotic internal structure. Additional evidence can often be derived from scars in the landscape, indicating where a soil mass originated. By means of airphoto interpretation many indications of past mass movements can be identified. For events which are hundreds, up to several thousands of years old, sometimes contemporaneous descriptions are available. There are ...
553. The Age of Moses [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... their deeds. The Exodus was finally placed at the time of Ramesses II, a powerful king of the 19th Dynasty. The incongruity of setting the escape of "slaves" during the zenith of Egypt's Empire Period in the mid-thirteenth century B.C . is matched by the violence this does to the whole historical account in the Bible from Genesis to Kings. In his epic film "The Ten Commandments", Cecil B. De Mille shows the strapping Pharaoh Ramesses II turning his chariot aside at the Red Sea crossing and letting his army proceed to their destruction without him since we know that this mighty king did not meet his own end in this way. Unless the Exodus ...
554. The Tomb Of King Ahiram. Ch. 3. (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... was in the mind of the scribe when he wrote the sentence; it may be that he wished only to boast of his knowledge of Hebrew. The generally accepted conclusion is that Hebrew words were acquired by the Egyptians from the natives of Canaan and that the population of pro-Israelite Palestine, sometimes said to have been of Hamitic stock (see Genesis 9:18), spoke Semitic Hebrew. This conclusion, implied by the Hebrew words inserted in the Babylonian texts of the el-Amarna letters written from Palestine, has been regarded as indisputable since the discovery of the Ras Shamra texts, The conclusion that the population of pre-Israelite Canaan not only spoke Hebrew but must also have had speedy scribes ...

... of the discoveries, including the throne of the King of Ebla and the archive-room in which the main discoveries were made. He also gave some information of importance, not yet published. A tablet was found on which appeared the names of all the Five Cities of the Plain (Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, Bela; see Genesis 14:2 ). This is the first archaeological confirmation of the existence of these cities, and the very fact that their names do not appear in later records tends to confirm the Biblical record that these cities were destroyed in a cataclysm. The Bible rather puzzlingly calls the fifth city "Bela, which is Zoar". This ...
556. Venus, Mars ... and Saturn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a summary of their ideas, which suggest that the ringed planet was a major influence on Earth in the past. As we near the end of the millennium, a period traditionally associated with apocalyptic fears and cometary disaster, the time seems ripe for reconsidering the evidence as to the nature of the agents responsible for recent cataclysms and the concomitant genesis of ancient myth: were comets, or planets with comet-like characteristics, the principal culprits? Some SIS members appear inclined to abandon their roots in Velikovskian catastrophism in favour of a comet-based model, influenced by the theories of Victor Clube and Bill Napier. Several observations are in order here. Firstly, it is necessary to emphasise that the ...

558. Abraham to Hezekiah: An Archaeological Revision Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... remembered as the first to see the need, and for initiating the huge task in this direction. Because his approach focuses on identifying historical synchronisms, Velikovsky has made no systematic attempt to redate the archaeological ages. Although he has suggested that the end of the Early Bronze Age be synchronized with the destruction of the cities of the plain (Genesis 19), and that the end of the Middle Bronze Age be synchronized with the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites, he has produced very little evidence to support this scheme.(2 ) Donovan Courville, on the other hand, has paid more attention to the archaeological data and has made a more systematic attempt to synchronize Israel's ...
559. The Origin Of The Moon [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... it is said: "Thou wast feared since (the time of) the sun and before (the time of) the moon, a generation of generations." "A generation of generations" means a very long time. Of course, it is of no use to counter this psalm with the myth of the first chapter of Genesis, a tale brought down from exotic and later sources. It is probably the most remote remembrance of mankind: the time when there was no Moon. The memory of a world without a Moon lives in oral tradition among the Indians. The Indians of the Bogotá highlands in the eastern Cordilleras of Colombia relate some of their tribal reminiscences ...
560. Hittites, Phrygians, and Others [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... correspondence, identified as Samaria and Jezreel by Velikovsky,(3 ) were almost certainly Byblos and Sumara in Phoenicia. This tends to suggest the Amarna age cannot be relocated in the 9th century, a realization that undermines the series of biblical parallels so cleverly contrived by Velikovsky in Ages in Chaos. In fact, the table of nations (Genesis 10:1 ) even preserves the memory of Sumur in the Zemarites, bracketed with Sidon and Arvad- fellow Phoenicians. In this connection the EA tablets can hardly be dated to the age of Ahab and/or Jehoram of Israel, for there is then no correspondent who may be identified as a ruler of the northern kingdom. ...
