... , 1975, 843). The list of items, which - in stratigraphically secured contexts - first appeared in Mesopotamia, in Old-Akkadian times, but were not known in the Levant and Egypt before the Hyksos period, can easily be extended: bellows, true tin bronzes, vertical looms, chariots, peculiarily vaulted burials, toggle pins, glass, glazing, sophisticated triple gates etc. Many of these striking similarities between 3rd millenium Mesopotamians and 2nd millenium Hyksos were seen long ago. Yet, the appropriate conclusions were never drawn: "It is certain that the earliest dated specimens of forms like, or comparable to, some metal implements regarded as Hyksos have come from Mesopotamia. ...
302. Electric Stars in a Gravity-Less Electrified Cosmos [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the need for future missions to re-investigate improperly conceived past missions. Their tenure would end sooner, and that is not an unimportant consideration with comparable positions and funding being scarce these days. I'll close with a warning I give my students: "When studying archaeology or geology, it is best not to bend over while looking through a magnifying glass with one's nose close to the ground and exposing one's posterior to the Heavens. Because the cause of what you are looking at might well be behind rather than in front." References 1. On more than one occasion I have faced a hostile academic opponent who did not even have a remote idea about the specifics of Velikovsky's work ...
303. Ice Cores and Cosmically Induced Volcanic Eruptions [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... report in New Scientist (9 .7 .87 p. 27) saying that Antarctic ice core records of acid maxima show two significant events from about the time of two known major 19th century eruptions (Tambora 1815 and Galunggung 1822), which had led scientists to equate the core data events with these eruptions. However tests of volcanic glass show that Tambora equates with the second event, not the first. Thus the first event relates to an unknown eruption, while the Galunggung eruption does not appear in ice core records. The 1912 Katmai eruption in Alaska also left few traces in Greenland ice. Despite these and other such anomalies, no one seems previously to have reviewed ...
304. Catastrophic Theory of Mountain Uplifts (A Crustal Deformation Theory) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... for Mars. November was named Kislev (or Kheciyl) for Jupiter. And their December was named Tebat for "the ringed one." Like the Phoenicians, the Hebrews derived their calendar month names from the Chaldeans. Interestingly, Saturn's rings are visible only with a telescope (and both the Sumerians and Chaldeans are known to have ground glass for lenses, possibly for astronomical use). Saturn, by itself, could move Mars as much as 30,000 miles to either side of the centerline of its pathway. We view the pathways of the Earth and Mars as roads, and the centerline of the road was the average, not the individual flyby case. Either ...
305. The Anomalous Condition of Venus and the Origin of the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... blinkered by reductionism: I have found Wal Thornhill's article on Venus well written and well researched. I stand by what I have said in Astronomy and Space. But all this is not enough to convert me to Velikovsky's ideas. I see him as a kind of visionary, who has had some valid insights, but saw things through the glass darkly and lost his bearings in trying to fit his intuitions to the superstitious beliefs and records of the past. Straight scientists at times also lose their bearings and often lack a sense of fitness. And it is my sense of fitness that rebels against trying to cut cosmic events to the puny scale of human history. This puts me ...
306. Philologos | The Legends of the Jews: Volume IV [Books]
... respects resembled him. He, too, esteemed himself a god, and sought to make men believe in his divinity by the artificial heavens he fashioned for himself. In the sea he erected four iron pillars, on which he build up seven heavens, each five hundred ells larger than the one below. The first was a plate of glass of five hundred square ells, and the second a plate of iron of a thousand square ells. The third, of lead, and separated from the second by canals, contained huge round boulders, which produced the sound of thunder on the iron. The fourth heaven was of brass, the fifth of copper, the sixth of ...

... discharge-current (up to 100 milliamperes). Similar experiments are shown in figures 255, 1 and 2. In the former the magnetic globe is only 2.5 cm. in diameter; but it was easy, especially with greatly rarefied hydrogen gas in the box, to obtain a plane of rays about the globe that cut all four glass walls in brightly phosphorescent, straight stripes from 5 to 10 millimetres wide. [. .] Fig. 256 shows phenomena with the large 24. cm. cathode-globe a light that resembles the sun's corona. (1 ) Applied to Saturn (fig. 257), our experiments must lead us to infer that the quantity of rays ...

... heavy again as our nitrogen/oxygen mixture, we must increase the figure of 30 by about half to give the density, somewhat less than 50 times our own atmosphere's. This is a very basic result in physical chemistry, and as a chemist Asimov should be somewhat embarrassed. Adding Insult to Injury It is often said that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. It is especially dangerous when their aim is as bad as Dr Asimov's. It is particularly sad that such dubious criticism as his is subsequently cited as an authoritative rebuttal. Thus E. C. Krupp [53]: "Many arguments against a slowing or stopping of the earth's rotation rate have been voiced ...
