... meteoritic impacts explain the fact that coeval rock formations from different continents indicate differences in the pole-positions. Huge showers of giant meteorites explain the reversals of the magnetic field, as such showers may reverse the Earth's spin. We have seen, in Part II, Chapter 3, Section IV of the present book, that this may have happened in geological times, up to the middle Pleistocene. If the Etruscan and Greek pottery analysed by Folgheraiter and the two Carthaginian vessels examined by Thellier have a reversed magnetism, it would nevertheless be difficult to accept that this reversal was the result of the Earth having changed its direction of spin in the eighth century BC. The magnitude of the catastrophe ...
852. Towards a New Evolutionary Synthesis [Books]
... the size of a mouse increased in size at a mean rate of one-tenth of one percent of the mean weight per generation, the differences between the mean weights of two successive generations would be so imperceptible as to be well within experimental error, but after 12,000 generations (say 60,000 years, a very short period in geological time), the animals would be the size of a large elephant. With that, and a token nod to Gould, Eldredge and Stanley, he left the subject, as if all the apparently abrupt changes in the fossil record involved nothing more complicated than size. Although the book was intended to be a `general discussion of ...

... approaches of the north and west. On the eastern side a natural mountain barrier was supplemented by a number of fortified cities of the Rephaim, giant and fierce warriors who were descendants of the antediluvian Nefilim. [3 ] In the southern part of the Valley of Siddim the bitumen pits formed a natural obstacle. Origin of the Dead Sea Geological and historical evidence indicate that the lower Jordan Valley in the past was much different from today. The Dead Sea did not exist in Abraham's time. Studies, in fact, of the accumulation of salt content in the Dead Sea place the lake no older than 5000 years. [4 ] The biblical story of the four kings who ...

... would be expected the farther back one goes on the time scale. The data give a deviation of this nature, but this can also be interpreted in another manner. Some say, a deviation of this type was caused by. some presently unexplained gradual change. (This gradual change appears to have occurred rather quickly, as far as geological time goes.) This explanation is not inherently better than other explanations, but does fit the uniformitarian concept. The bristlecone pine is considered the oldest living thing on earth. By using this tree, a calibration curve of real time vs. calculated time can be made for thousands of years. The process is based on the techniques ...
856. Eulogies to Three Quantavolutionaries [Books] [de Grazia books]
... be faulted for not maintaining a hot line. I was even justified - more foolish thought - in being undiscoverable, for in the labyrinthine Princeton Libraries, who could find me, and it was Velikovsky's fault; I might be in the religious section, or in archaeology, or the astronomy collection, or the art library, or in geology; I might be anywhere in the acres of buildings and shelves, thanks to Velikovsky. Survivor's guilt, compounding the loss and mourning, so tattooed are we by the ancient great losses - Noah naked drunk on the first post-diluvian vintage, the unworthy remnant brought out of Egypt, Ipuwer's lament of survivors. The great man was buried ...

... as it is applies to pottery dating, as well as to carving and inscribed granite and diorite Egyptian and Mesopotamian stratigraphy are also analyzed along with the evidence of: erosion agronomy climatology agriculture glass technology domestication of the horse and ass linguistics forensic anthropology musical instrumentation of the hepatonic diatonic scale And much more! Published Mesopotanian stratigraphical research, based on geology and archaeology now indisputably prove 700 to 800 years were added to history by the archaeologists. Linguistics related to Hebrew, Greek and Hittite along with agronomy, climatology, irrigation, burial customs and artifacts, domestication of the horse and ass and other topics all converge to indicate that history is much shorter than what historians claim has been established ...
858. Palaeo-Egypt (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... . What the passage really contains is the factual statement that Palaeo-Egypt was little harmed by the various consequences of the capture. The reasons for this apparent exception were as follows. First, the Greek world, from Sicily and central Italy to the Hellespont, belongs to a `physiographic system' which is very different from that of Egypt. Geologically speaking the Greek world consists almost completely of much disturbed, folded, and tilted, water-deposited, stratified, soft sandstones and limestones, in diversified orographical groupings. Egypt, on the other hand, essentially consists of the Earth's oldest igneous bedrocks: granite, syenite, porphyry, etc., in thick, horizontal masses. Secondly, ...
859. Conclusion (In the Beginning: God) [Books]
... , and that the Book of Genesis contains knowledge in the best sense of the word, experience, not speculation. The Book of Genesis contains history too, a record of actual happenings in times of remotest eld, which are otherwise completely forgotten. It is the history of so early a time in man's career that it links up with geology. With this book has been re-proposed for consideration by students of biblical mythology a new form of catastrophic theory', that theory which was thought to be unsupportable by large circles of scholars. Judging from its results I believe that this restatement of the catastrophic' case has been successful but upon this contention the critical reader will pass judgement ...
860. Velikovsky's Critics and Catastrophism [Journals] [Pensee]
... scholarly author. He can no longer quote the specific content of Gardner's comment since it is incorrect but he finds it tempting to use the words in a more general and ambivalent manner. In looking at Mullen's article, "The Center Holds," in the May issue it will be rather interesting to see what meanings may be given to geological epochs say 20 years from now if the revolution in thought that Velikovsky's work seems to require actually takes place. I am reminded here of a section in Melvin Cook's book, Prehistory and Earth Models, where he discusses fossil wood samples that had been recovered from the iron ore mine at Schefferville at a depth of several hundred feet below ...
