... There are certain deeps or depressions which remain at profound depths according to accepted charts and may perhaps indicate the original ocean basins, though these must gradually lessen as fresh material drift into them in the course of ages. The greatest known deep in the Pacific is 31 614 feet; in the Atlantic, 28 320 feet; and in the Indian Ocean, 20 000 feet. It has been urged that seas deeper than 12 000 to 13 000 feet, occupying roughly one-third of the earth's surface, represented primeval basins, and, if this be the case, and if the earth were ever uniform at its surface, these depressions, probably far deeper originally or nearer the earth's ...
... in which the calcareous skeleton is developed in the walls of the body, as in the reef-building corals of the Pacific, and the other where the skeleton is external or cuticular, as in the red coral of commerce. Coral reefs and islands are found in the Southern Pacific (sometimes called, indeed, the Coral Sea), the Indian Ocean, and the Red Sea; while the Mediterranean Sea, off Corsica, affords the finest red coral, also with pink and black coral found off the coast of South Italy, Algeria, and Tunis. It is curious that the coral anemone clings apparently to its localities and does not spread to other parts, even if very ...
... how it is that from the direction of the North Pole, where the sun's rays are certainly not very powerful, such volumes of water and wind are generated. I will cite a case here of a nature like that outlined. In 1926 there occurred the Miami Disaster, a hurricane which swept the coast of Florida and damaged the West Indian Islands. I shall show that, small relatively as was this particular event, among other things it broke up an anti-cyclone in the British Isles and caused violent convulsions in the weather. The explanation of these matters I shall submit was the sudden entry into our atmosphere of a meteor which fell in the ocean, set up a tidal ...
... and it was customary for Spanish sailors to seek out St. Brandan's island to learn more of this land of wealth. The Irish must have been in North America early in the Christian era, for those Norsemen who found their way to Massachusetts and the St. Lawrence, c. AD 1000, discovered Irish priests who had converted the Indians inland and they also converted the tough followers of Odin as well. They had apparently taught them to cultivate the grape vine and cereals, which points to an early time.21 In these activities a link may be forged with the Irish Pheonicians who went by the name of Pheni or Fenii. In Central America the remarkable archaeological and ...
615. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... before. Many cultures recall a mythical warrior or giant struck down by a thunderbolt and scarred by the deep gash or wound it left on his forehead, cheek, or thigh. Around the world, astronomical traditions associate the warrior archetype with the planet Mars. Dave called this particular warrior theme the "Scarface motif" after the legendary Blackfoot Indian warrior, Scarface. The Blackfoot knew the same figure as "Star Boy," a close counterpart of the Pawnee warrior Morning Star- explicitly identified as the planet Mars (not Venus as some might have supposed). On the other side of the world, Greek mythology described various warriors and rogues struck down by a lightning bolt ...
616. New Frontiers on the Stability of the Solar System [Articles]
... I think that where I am at one with the Society and its philosophy, is that I certainly believe that living species on the Earth have suffered catastrophically at intervals of between 100.000 to a million years right through the past history of the Earth. This is because of the existence of all the debris that still exists. The Indians, for example, in America have long had the tradition that a god fell from the sky and created the Arizona meteor crater. This of course was laughed at but now it's understood that it was the impact of a very large meteor. I think myself that catastrophism is something that the Establishment has to live with now and they ...

... to the Milky Way as a school of fish. The Hindus described it as the path of Ariaman, leading to the celestial throne. Teutonic myths have it as the lane leading to Valhalla. The early Britons in fact described it as Watling Street, leading to heaven. Watling Street was the name for the Milky Way. The Iroquois Indians say it's a road of souls leading to the eternal kingdom of Ponema. The general feeling of what this thing is, is all very similar and if it links up with what I've described to you about Aristotle then we are talking about a Milky Way in the ecliptic which was made, if Anaximander can be interpreted the way I've ...

... end of the Eocene Epoch, a subdivision of the Tertiary Period, is about 35 million years before the present. The Popigai crater has a diameter of 100 km, which suggests the impacting missile was about 5 km across. It is also of interest that the bediasites, a group of tektites distributed halfway round the Earth, from the Indian Ocean to the Caribbean, have a calculated age of 34.7+ 2 million years (10). Although modest by C-T standards, the Eocene event had certain notable features. Some extinctions took place, e.g . one of radiolarian species (plankton with silicate shells) (10, 80, 81). High ...

... fishes and other animals would help to locate Punt. In fact, they didn't really, but there was one conclusion that was significant, the conclusion being that all the salt water species, and there are some fresh water types which I'll come back to in a minute, all the salt water species are characteristic of the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, and this applies to all the lines of water, without exception, so there is clear evidence from the reliefs, unless the Egyptian artists simply made things up that weren't true, that the return journey also took place on the Red Sea, and not on the Mediterranean. It's quite easy to distinguish Mediterranean species from Red ...

... a Roche Limit (for fragmenting) of about 5700 miles. Astra must have fragmented 5700 miles generally above the location at 45 degrees S. latitude and 320 degrees W. longitude. 5. The Earth's crust is divided into two areas. One is "andesitic," generally iron-poor. The andesitic area includes the Atlantic Basin, the Indian ocean Basin, and the several continents- the Americas, Africa, Eurasia, Antarctica, and Australia. This zone comprises about 125,000,000 square miles. The other zone of the crust is "basaltic." This area is the Pacific Basin, comprising about 70,000,000 square miles. This is the ...
