... a huge rift opened up, splitting northwards and then southwards, to form the Atlantic basin which eventually separated the Americas from the rest of the land masses. Where the western edges of the Americas were being thrust against the Pacific crust, massive crumpling of the continental crustal edges produced the Rockies and the Andes. Another rift open up the Indian Ocean with Greater India moving north and eventually impinging on Laurasia and throwing up the Tibetan plateau. An Australian Antarctic block moved southwards. Later a new rift developed, separating Australia from Antarctica and, splitting northwards separated Arabia from Africa and formed the East African Rift. The later movements of Greater India and Africa thrusting against Laurasia, crumpled ...
682. Catastrophism and Evolution [Journals] [SIS Review]
... end of the Eocene Epoch, a subdivision of the Tertiary Period, is about 38 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, 81, 82]. High iridium ...
683. The SIS Tenth Anniversary Tour of Egypt - Report [Journals] [SIS Review]
... itself, it is hard to imagine a more solitary and yet awe-inspiring monument to the kings that once ruled this mighty empire. Perhaps we should ponder a while on the thought that if, by some quirk of fate, this bountiful river had chosen to run its course, not across the desert to the Mediterranean shore but eastward to the Indian Ocean, then none of what we had witnessed on this journey would have existed. For the great river is itself the bringer of life - and with its blessings, so never failingly given, it has left to posterity a civilisation whose monuments have stirred the imagination of all those countless travellers who have journeyed through this ancient land. ...

... the underworld tears out the posts of the dam The warrior-god leads the waters on The gods raise THE TORCHES, SETTING THE LAND ON FIRE WITH THEIR BLAZE. (October 24, 2484 B.C .E .? ) (Mars "rising" ?) (Lightning shock waves?) (Sea level tidal waves?) (Indian Ocean tides sweeping Iran-Iraq?) (Perhaps interplanetary lightning striking Iran, Armenia, Iraq. etc.) Our studies show that while Saturn was in the feared Capricorn in 2484 B.C .E . so also were the more recently discovered planets, Uranus and Neptune, each adding about 10% to the gravitational effect of Saturn ...
685. An Integrated Model for an Earthwide Event at 2300 BC. Part II: The Climatological Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the Sahara; previous to this time, the area supported human settlements as well as animals such as the elephant, water-buffalo and rhinoceros [97]. An analysis indicates that the development of the Thar desert in this region was directly linked to a 70% drop in the yield of the monsoon rains in the north-western part of the Indian subcontinent; the abrupt drop in precipitation shortly after 2300 BC is shown in Figure 5 [98]. The sudden onset of aridity may have been a factor in the abandonment of pre-Harappan sites throughout the area. Pollen profiles from Liaotung Pantao peninsula in eastern China and from central Formosa indicate a cooler environment starting about 2000 BC [99 ...

... ) shows some morphological evidence in its shape of having been forced to the northeast. North of New Zealand there are faults already identified which are strongly concordant with the movement of New Zealand to the northeast. Similarity of Development and History Yeats and Berryman [18] noted the similarity of the development of the New Zealand fault zone between the Indian and Pacific Plates and that of the western North American fault zone between the North American and Pacific Plates. Both areas lie in zones where similar forces were present, i.e . inertial lag followed by subcrustally generated acceleration. This similarity has been shown to be far more extensive than these authors envisaged from the fault symmetry. It ...

... been made by a similar process and there are references up till the end of the Roman Empire in the 7th century. As late as the 8th and 9th centuries AD some Saxon and Celtic metalwork was produced the same way although there are no references to it and it seems to have then disappeared. Meanwhile, descriptions of purple bronzes in Indian and Tibetan classical literature indicate that the process moved east and there are early Chinese references to purple gold in the 5th century AD, finally reaching Japan by the 14th century. By the time Japanese articles reached the west in the 19th century the process had long been forgotten in the area in which it started. MYTHOLOGY Glastonbury myth The ...

... remote. It all depends at what point the particles are released into the Polar Cell and the most likely course they will follow, presuming a slow loss of altitude on its way into the stormy zones, where condensation of water vapour will bring it to the surface. The Antarctic is circumscribed by the extremities of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Southward flowing warm waters turn eastward due to the Coriolis force to merge with the cold water of the West Wind Drift which circulates round Antarctica unheeded by any high land mass. Above this in the Troposphere blow the Roaring Forties', extending to very high latitudes and creating a huge area of low pressure above the surface, ...

Masson-Oursel & L. Morin, "Indian Mythology," New Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology (London, 1972), p.329. The identity of Varuna as Saturn can be variously derived but suffice here that Vedic lore equates this deity with Agni- Rig Veda 5:3 :1 : see also H. Oldenberg, Vedic Hymn (Delhi, 1967), Part ...
690. Evidence of An Inversion Event? [Journals] [Aeon]
... that time. ORAL AND WRITTEN HISTORIES Velikovsky supported his case for recent inversion events by Biblical references and ancient Egyptian writings, as well as interpretations of myths, legends, and folklore. According to Velikovsky, fragments of oral histories relating to an inversion event have survived for at least 2800 years, an example being a legend of the Choctaw Indians that tells of a mountain of water rapidly approaching from the north. The question may be asked whether an inversion event about 12,000 yr BP may have occurred followed by another in 2,800 yr BP. Based on the evidence presented in this paper this would not be possible, since it is contended that the world was ...
