... ) Since then, other spiked comets have been observed, always occurring in the ecliptic near the Sun.(34) Pliny the Elder in his Second Book of Natural History speaks of comets that project horns, and there are many other ancient references to unusual comets. Data which must be included are the 6,000 year old American Indian rock paintings found near Green River, Utah.(35) The paintings are unmistakably those of a comet with a spike in the form of a helix. One shows the comet with a large nucleus, the other without. As the comet is drawn twice, it was the painter's intention to draw the sunward spike in the form ...
532. Catastrophic Theory of Mountain Uplifts (A Crustal Deformation Theory) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... years (which is the Saturnian revolution), so the Egyptian Pharaoh also celebrated his jubilee after 30 years, true to the "inventor" of this festival, Ptah, who is the Egyptian Saturn.15 The number 108 is also detected in the Rig Veda with 10,800 stanzas and in the 10,800 bricks of the Indian fire altar, Agnieayana.16 The modern orbit of Saturn is 29.46 years, not 30. However, if the Earth had an ancient 360-day year, 30 would be the correct year count for Saturn's orbit. Plutarch's account, along with Persian and Egyptian festivals for Saturn, specified 30 years, not 29.46 or ...
533. Science Frontiers 1977-1978 [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... Ground observation during these storms reveals occasional very powerful discharges of long duration from positively charged regions near the cloud tops to the ground. In contrast, typical lightning arises from negatively charged regions of clouds. (Turman. B.N .; "Detection of Lightning Superbolts, "Journal of Geophysical Research. 82-2566-2568, 1977.) ANOTHER INDIAN OCEAN LIGHT WHEEL March 27, 1976, position 10o 52' N., 101o 28' E. At 19h17 GMT, C. J. A. Cladingbowl, the Second Officer of the S.S . Benattow saw pulsating parallel bands of light rushing toward the ship from 045oT. After two to three minutes, the bands ...
534. Plate Tectonics and Catastrophe Theory [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... and terminating (in a local configuration which is, though, highly complex) in the region of the Great African Lakes. Faced with this embarrassing situation, the orthodox theoreticians extend the boundary in dashed lines - to beyond its terminal point, postulating a hypothetical junction with another boundary ridge (namely the boundary between the African Plate and the Indian Plate, for the African Rift). The north end of the Mid-Atlantic Dorsal Ridge (north of Spitzberg) presents a similar problem. Their embarrassment is understandable, for if a plate is rigid, only one velocity can obtain at any one point, and an intraplate line of discontinuity is impossible. Abandoning, therefore, the postulate ...
... globe of apparently similar events: rivers turning to blood (Mayan, Egyptian, biblical, Greek, Finnish stories); "the descent of a sticky fluid which came earthward and blazed with heavy smoke is recalled in the oral and written traditions of the inhabitants of both hemispheres" [408:54] (Mayan, Siberian, East Indian, Egyptian, biblical, Babylonian); and fires, earthquakes, and the like. These events, and a long period of darkness, Velikovsky ascribes to an earlier encounter with time comet, from which fell red dust, meteorites, petroleum, and other substances. He envisages also tremendous electrical discharges and spectacularly visible variations in position ...
536. The Causal Source for the Climatic Changes at 2300 BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... environments occurring in different regions. The increased dryness in southern Europe was ruinous to its inhabitants. The cultural disappearances and replacements and large migrations were probably influenced by this. Most of Australia became noticeably dryer. At least one culture disappeared in the central region. There is evidence of flow changes in all major oceans - Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic and Antarctic - as a reaction to the shifts in atmospheric flow and these were probably responsible for climatic variations in the southern hemisphere and to some extent the northern. An analysis by Street-Perrott and Perrott concluded that abrupt climatic fluctuations in the tropics can be influenced by changes in Atlantic Ocean circulation. They correlated onsets of droughts in ...
537. The Bedrock of Myth [Articles]
... . Against most academic opinion, the latter implies that the Harappan or Indus Valley civilization was Vedic in nature, in spite of horses being extremely rare in the area at the time. It must have been Vedic, for otherwise, there would not have been enough time for the earlier migration from the northwest to be totally forgotten by the Indian branch of the Aryans. The story of the Maruts living in an Ashvattha tree, the substitute for Black Poplar, derives from a prehistoric Aryan or Proto-Indo-European' original. A Greek derivative is the story of the Daughters of the Sun, Heliades, who were changed into Black Poplars and wept tears of amber. Here, by Sun ...

... the armour of the Persians, tells us that they were clad from head to foot in pieces of iron fashioned like feathers.[10] In some instances the petals on the crown-helmet of the Pereset are embossed with a feather design; this caused historians to speak of "feather crowns" of the Philistines in the manner of the American Indians. But from Ammianus we learn that the iron scales of the Persians were fashioned to imitate feathers. The climate of Egypt forbids, for the larger part of the year, the use of mail. The soldiers of the Pereset were clad in light tunics, a few strips of mail, and helmets made of scales. At the ...

... be explained. The editor in chief of Harper's Magazine was then Frederick Lewis Allen. The Allens were friends of James Putnam, Velikovsky's editor at Macmillan, and Putnam had told them that a book he was going to publish contained the extraordinary assertion that while the sun stood still for Joshua at midday, there were legends among the pre-Columbian American Indians of a time when the night had lasted too long or the sun had risen slightly above the horizon and stood still. It was one of those arresting items which stick in the mind, and it became a part of the Allens' repertory of bits and pieces of information they delighted in. If true, how come? If ...
