... A black cloud rose up from the horizon. Inside it the storm-god thunders. . . . The god of the underworld tears out the posts of the dam. The warrior-god leads the waters on.6 The waters "led on," it is presumed, were not the sudden rain, but were comprised of massive tides from the Indian Ocean. But the rain was a significant contribution. Theory Number Two, sixthly, is harmonious with Talmudic source material. The following quotation, while not of Mosaic origin, is probably neo-Babylonian, Assyrian, or Persian, and was acquired during the Babylonian exile: The flood was produced by a union of the male waters, which ...
622. The Paradoxical Primate [Journals] [Kronos]
... , however, that she has at least one other predecessor in aquatic theory. He is the late Carl Sauer, for some decades America's leading cultural geographer. In 1962, he published an article entitled "Seashore Primitive Home of Man? '',(11) in which he proposed that hominid bipedalism originated on the shores of the Indian Ocean. The differences between Sauer, Hardy, and Morgan are marginal but significant and relate to the degree of immersion, both literal and theoretical, which each retrospectively envisions. Where Sauer saw early man primarily as beach-comber, Hardy sees him mainly as a wader and Morgan as an underwater swimmer. I am myself in the line of ...
623. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology [Articles]
... know now. When you get a scientist telling you that to account for the salt on the bottom of the Red Sea, the straits between Africa and Arabia must have closed at least 250 times, and he puts that forward as a serious scientific theory; they'll tell you that the Pacific Ocean is umpteen thousand million years old, the Indian Ocean is a few thousand million years less, that the South Atlantic is something less, the North Atlantic is even less- they put that forward as a serious scientific theory. Dr Milton: It's a matter of limited interpretation of a restricted area of data. If you don't have to reconcile everything that is known with what you've ...
624. Ice Cores and Common Sense Part 1 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... created?- by a rise in world sea level?- by a depression of the ocean floor?- or were the continents pulled apart suddenly at one stroke? The Atlantic contains approximately one quarter of the water of the planet. Its average depth is nearly 4000 meters- slightly less than the Pacific and about the same as the Indian Ocean. If the Atlantic was not yet in existence, what of these two great oceans, to say nothing of the much shallower Arctic and Mediterranean? It must have been a desert world. Velikovsky thought that the waters of the Flood might have been formed from hydrogen gas expelled from Saturn, combining with free oxygen in the Earth's ...

... ) have maintained that ancient myths contain no reliable historical data whatever, I have argued elsewhere (in Memories and Visions of Paradise Quest 1995) that " .. . anthropologists and archeologists have uncovered many instances in which myths do unquestionably conceal [or reveal!] elements of historical fact"; there I cited the examples of the Klamath Indians' memory-based myth of the origin Crater Lake, and Aboriginal Australian Dreamtime stories that feature animals that have been extinct for some 10,000 to 15,000 years. Every mythologist knows that tales of ancient catastrophes of one sort or another constitute an extremely widespread and common genre. Examples range from the biblical story of the Deluge to ...
628. The Method of Science [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... last reference to a specialised lunar science conference or journal is 20 years ago; there were only seven scientific papers of any type cited from the past dozen years and few deal with the Moon. It is not encouraging that some data is derived from sources as questionable as the Creation Research Society Quarterly (note 86) or Proceedings of the Indian National Sciences Academy (notes 102 [and] 103). A reasonable conclusion from these skewed selections of citations is either that the author is unaware of modern lunar science or worse, that he has read it and sees that it is utterly inconsistent with the thesis he went in trying to prove, so he ignored it. This ...

... instabilities in plasma physics or the resonance structure of the solar system. The increased emphasis on the new fields means a certain demystification of physics. In the spiral or trochoidal motion which science makes during the centuries, its guiding center has returned to these regions from where it started. It was the wonders of the night sky, observed by Indians, Sumerians, or Egyptians, that started science several thousand years ago. It was the question why the wanderers - the planets - moved as they did that triggered off the scientific avalanche several hundred years ago. The same objects are now again in the center of science - only the questions we ask are different. We now ask ...

... of which an obscure tradition survived".(31) Apparently, he had in mind some sort of local catastrophe, perhaps of a social or economic nature. Velikovsky of course postulated a series of global catastrophes. Freud also predicted that scientists eventually would be able to verify the same factors underlying the national epics of the Germans, the Indians, the Finns, and other ancient peoples.(32) He also claimed that the cause of these epics had disappeared before the arrival of Alexander the Great, who lamented that he had no Homer to immortalize his deeds.(33) Velikovsky used historical and legendary accounts, as well as mythological motifs, to reorder the course ...
