582. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the area in which this culture was found. The Incas apparently knew of these people and the locals were frightened of the ruins, which they associated with a myth of a seven-headed snake. American sunflowers bloom in India Neara Journal Vol. XXXII, No. 1, pp. 4-15 We have mentioned before the depictions of corn cobs in Indian temples (and Ancient Egyptian ones) long before Columbus discovered' the Americas, from which maize was subsequently introduced to other parts of the world. It appears that this was not the only New World plant to be depicted in India long before it should. Sunflowers were also domesticated in the Americas several thousand years ago and should not ...
583. Pandemonium [Books] [de Grazia books]
... pursues the name Yahweh elsewhere: he finds Jo, Jove (Jupiter); Yahou, Yao (Chinese emperor of the age); Ju Ju huwe, (an Indonesian invocation to heavenly bodies): Yahou, Yo (in the Hebrew Bible); Yao, Yaotl (ancient Mexico); Yahu (ejaculation of the Puget Sound Indians and other Amer-lndians when they performed the ritual of raising up the fallen sky off the earth) [14]. It is perhaps of some significance that Cohane has found Haue, a Middle-English god-name, in the names of gods, sacred places, rivers, salutations, and objects all over the world into the hundreds of instances. ...
584. Fractures and Cleavages [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of the pull-out of Arabia, where related hominids are found. It also extends to the Palestinian portion of the Rift where Olduvai types of hominid sites are discoverable. The Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, we have said, seem to have been produced out of sharp lateral faulting shifting the end section of the Carlsberg Ridge of the Indian Ocean northward. This might indicate that the total area east of the Owen Fault Zone, including the African Rift-Gulf of Aden-Red Sea rift occurred at the time of or only a little later than the globe-girdling rift of which the Carlsberg Ridge forms part. Further activities of the Rift advance into proto-historic times, particularly into the Bible. The ...
585. Earthquakes [Books] [de Grazia books]
... pushing the continents left and right almost unnoticeably. Perhaps the rocks of the Atlantic Basin are lagging or stretching behind the Pacific rocks, which are being pushed into the basin of the lunar genesis. No theory is yet adequate to explain the difference in intensity and frequency between the Atlantic and Pacific seismism. Wherever the fracture moves - into the Indian Ocean, across Asia, and laterally across the Southern Pacific and up the East Pacific, it bears with it seismic strains that develop as earthquakes of shallow focus. Quakes of deeper focus take place along a belt that circles the Pacific area of erupted crust, from New Zealand north and east up to Siberia, across the north Pacific ...
586. Another Velikovsky Affray: the Histories [Journals] [SIS Review]
... it off in deference to an oracle, which warned him that his labour was all for the advantage of the barbarian' as the Egyptians call anyone who does not speak their language. He then turned his attention to war; he had triremes built, some on the Mediterranean coast, others on the Arabian gulf (The Red Sea for Indian Ocean trade) where the docks are still to be seen, and made use of his new fleets as occasion arose; and in addition he attacked the Syrians by land and defeated them at Magdolus, afterwards attacking (Cadytis) Gaza, a large town in Syria... Then after a reign of sixteen years, he died ...
587. Hurricanes and Cyclones [Books] [de Grazia books]
... or meteoric effect is often contested, and both produce tornado and hurricane effects. During the Krakatoa volcanic explosion of 1883, winds stripped all the surrounding area of its lush vegetation before burning it [14]. People heard noises of anchors being hauled up and dropped, of thunder and beating drums: the winds carried the explosions across the Indian Ocean where they were heard as distant cannonading. The barometer on a ship nearby jumped up and down an inch at a time. The air was sucked up so that people could not breathe. The gases were sulfurous, choking and blinding. The sun was obscured, and slightly so around the world for years. In the pitchblack ...
588. Variations on a Theme of Philolaos [Journals] [Kronos]
... Thin or not, and stretched or not, the medium could have been air, and the sound could have been of the ordinary air-borne sort; there is no need to look for anything esoteric. Efforts to reach the four corners of the world would have been perilous. North lay an icecap. South lay six thousand miles of empty Indian Ocean and then another icecap. West lay the South Atlantic. East of Eden lay much land and then the Pacific. At these locations, far from the sub-Saturnian point, Earth and Saturn were no longer pulling against each other. Their combined pull involved a noticeable "tilt" from the vertical. People would feel heavier and would ...

590. Quantavolutions [Books] [de Grazia books]
... to test the holospheric principle by observing effects in all spheres produced in association with a Richter scale 1 and, say, 9, but allowing that this reading of 9 may have, in times before measurement and, more, before conscious memory, reached hypothetical reading of 12 or 20. What would the Richter-scale reading have been when the Indian sub-continent split off East Africa? Or when the fabled island continent of Atlantis "sank in a day of furious trembling," according to Plato? Now a criticism can be launched against quantavolutionism. India split from Africa, not in a day, but by an exceedingly numerous series of a centimeters a year, as Arabia is pulling ...
