... broke out again in the summer and an enormous block of ice, 15 feet long, 7 feet wide and 2 feet thick was said to have fallen with the hail near Autun, in Gaul. Three years later, during fighting with Moors over territory in the southwest of the empire, people were sure they saw battle lines and shifting lights in the sky at night and that these marvels forboded the Frankish defeat'. Two years later, the occurrence of another earthquake and violent electrical storm at Aachen was mentioned in the final entry of the Royal Frankish Annals. Extensive flooding, causing great damage, took place in Francia in 834 AD according to both the Annals of Xanten ...
362. Facing Many Problems, Part 2 Epilogue (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... historical cosmogony is this: If it is true that cosmic catastrophes occurred such a short time ago, how about the more remote past? What can we find out concerning the Deluge, at present thought to have been a local flooding of the Euphrates that impressed the Bedouins coming from the desert? In general, what can be brought to light concerning the world's more distant past and earlier celestial battles? As explained in the Preface, the story of the catastrophes as they can be reconstructed from the records of man and of nature is not completed in this volume. Here are presented only two chapters- two world ages- Venus and Mars. I intend to go further back ...
363. Catastrophes and the History of Life on Earth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... renewed interest in catastrophism resulting from Velikovsky's writings, they could now do so in full knowledge of several alternative threats to life on Earth, all of which were consistent with observational evidence and the laws of physics. Velikovsky's scenario was no longer the only catastrophist show in town. Some of the mechanisms involved in the new proposals, linking bright lights and loud noises in the sky with catastrophes on Earth, could also have given rise to ancient myths [7 ]. One such example is a major volcanic eruption. The existence of volcanic eruptions has, of course, long been known, but only recently has the possible scale of devastation become fully apparent. Perhaps the best-known volcano ...
364. Earth Parturition and Moon Birth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... one get a 65-kilometer-thick crust that is 50 to 85 percent plagioclase without melting most of the moon? And if melting occurred, how could the moon's interior be relatively cool today (800 to 1000 degrees C.)? Latham speculates that half the moon would have to be melted (down to about 1000 kilometers) in order for this light stuff to flow up as slag. Gast thinks that the Moon would have to be melted down only to a depth of 200 kilometers, if the composition were homogenous but moderately high in concentrations of aluminum and calcium (about 10 percent).... Wood [Proper name]would have the outer portion of the moon melt ...
365. The Uranians [Books] [de Grazia books]
... cosmogony, the Greek heard one version of creation in Hesiod and another version in the Orphic rites. Other cultures also had two versions of creation, one of which was the Cosmic Egg. The Dogons of the Upper Niger region put twin creators within the Egg. Before the Cosmic Egg, a universal chaos is pictured. Translucent mixtures of light and darkness are sensed in the sky; Heaven is close to Earth, if not identical with it, as an eggshell encloses its egg. The human mind sees itself as within the Egg, which is cracked open. The Demiurge who has hatched himself is Super-Uranus who presides over the now opening universe. THE DESTRUCTION OF PANGEA According ...
366. Introduction: The Saturn Myth [Books]
... system and of earth's past rests upon an underlying doctrine of cosmic uniformity- the belief that the clocklike regularity of heavenly motions can be projected backward indefinitely. But the evidence assembled in the following pages indicates that within human memory extraordinary changes in the planetary system occurred: in the earliest age recalled by man the planet Saturn was the most spectacular light in the heavens and its impact on the ancient world overwhelming. In fact Saturn was the one "great god" invoked by all mankind. The first religious symbols were symbols of Saturn, and so pervasive was the planet god's influence that the ancients knew him as the creator, the king of the world, and Adam, the ...

... . Earthquake Electrics sources: Nature 3.2 .83, p. 377; The Unexplained pp. 2301-5 There are many unusual phenomena associated with earthquakes: deformation of the ground, changes in activity of small earthquakes, changes in ground-water level and chemistry, the strange behaviour of animals, changes in geomagnetic and electromagnetic fields, and earthquake lights - all these things can accompany and precede the earthquake. Reports of earthquake lights, in particular, used to be greeted by scientists with scepticism. As Chi-Yu King writes for Nature, some were discounted because they came from "untrained observers", some were thought to be unreal, and some caused by lightning, meteors, and ...
368. A Tale Of Two Venuses [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... ice caps of Greenland and Antarctica below the boundary of the end of the Wisconsin Ice Age. It is found in amounts that defy uniformitarian expectations. I further maintain that the great loess deposits found on the Earth, covering vast regions, was also a product of Venus' tail materials .35 Velikovsky, himself maintained: "The zodiacal light, or glow seen in the evening sky after Sunset, stretching in the path of the Sun and other planets (ecliptic), the mysterious origin of which has for a long time occupied the minds of astronomers, has been explained in recent years as the reflection of the solar light from two rings of dust particles, one following ...

... the Earth's magnetic field, on auroras, etc. These two items add up to the fact that we do, indeed, live in an electric universe. Demise of Big Bang?source: Scientific American Jan 1990, p. 19 A basic concept in astronomy is that redshifts occur as a result of the Doppler effect, whereby the light emitted by a receding object shifts towards the red end of the light spectrum. Dependent upon this concept are all the current major theories, e.g . the Big Bang and the Expanding Universe. Looks like they're in trouble now that it is being suggested that redshifts occur when light passes through media of varying refractivity, and that ...
