... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Mammoths Northeast Siberia, which was not covered by ice in the Ice Age, conceals another enigma. The climate there has apparently changed drastically since the end of the Ice Age, and the yearly temperature has dropped many degrees below its previous level. Animals once lived in this region that do not live there now, and plants grew there that are unable to grow there now. The change must have occurred quite suddenly The cause of this Klimasturz has not been explained. In this catastrophic change of climate and under mysterious circumstances, all the mammoths of Siberia perished. The mammoth ...
12. The Problem Of The Extinction [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... leave drastic evidence in the fossil record."1 Much of this evidence Velikovsky has produced to show that there was a pole shift cataclysm is presented in his book Earth in Upheaval, which nearly all of Velikovsky's critics, with Asimov, studiously ignore or brush aside. But even in Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky discussed the extinction of the mammoths and the change in climate that accompanied this catastrophe. "The sudden extermination of mammoths was caused by a catastrophe and probably resulted from asphyxiation or electrocution. The immediately subsequent movement of the Siberian continent into the polar region is probably responsible for the preservation of the corpses. "It appears that the mammoths, along with other animals, ...
13. The Hunting Or Blitzkrieg Theory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 3 No 2&3 (1997) Home | Issue Contents The Hunting Or Blitzkrieg Theory Charles Ginenthal One of the main arguments of the overkill hypothesis is that the animals slaughtered, such as camels, llamas, two genera of deer, two genera of pronghorn, stag-moose, shrub-oxen, mastodons, mammoths, and horses, which became extinct in North America "had lived... for more than one million years in an environment devoid of ruthless, expert human hunters.... They never evolved the art of coexisting with so ruthless a predator."1 When we compare this to those that survived, such as "bison, ...
14. The Ivory Islands. Ch.1 In the North (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... on the ship Vega in 1878, Nils Adolf Erik Nordenskjöld, the first to traverse this northern seaway from one end to the other, travelled for weeks along the coast from Novaya Zemlya to Cape Shelagskoi (170o 30' East) on the eastern extremity of Siberia without seeing a single human being on the shore. Fossil tusks of the mammoth -an extinct elephant- were found in northern Siberia and brought southward to markets at a very early time, possibly in the days of Pliny in the first century of the present era. The Chinese excelled in working delicate designs in the ivory, much of which they obtained from the north. And from the days of the conquest of ...
15. The Demise of the Mammoth: Conflicting Theories [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon VI:1 (Feb 2001) Home | Issue Contents The Demise of the Mammoth: Conflicting Theories Tania ta Maria The carcass of the mammoth, found encased in ice in a remote area of Siberia, that was airlifted by helicopter and flown to Khatanga for study in October of 1999, turned out to be something of a bust. As it unfortunately transpired, all that was left of the beast, besides its two magnificent tusks, were bits and pieces of flesh and hair. "I'm a bit disappointed," Bernard Buigues, veteran Arctic explorer, was forced to admit. "I was expecting a lot and got a little." Buigues ...
16. Evidence of Careenings of the Globe [Books]
... BP the land area now known as the island of Crete was located near a latitude corresponding to the present Arctic Circle. Today, located near the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea, it is in a temperate climate, is covered with soil and vegetation, and people have been living there for more than 5,300 years. THE MAMMOTHS ANIMAL fossils, especially mammoths, offer positive proof that the earth has rolled around sideways to its normal direction of rotation. Mammoths are now being found in arctic regions, buried in lifelike condition in the permanently frozen ground. Their presence, condition, and location document a gigantic catastrophe in which the climate of a very large area of ...
17. The Climate Hypothesis [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... patterns, in turn, upset the longstanding, delicate balance in the ecosystem of grazing and browsing animals, perhaps affecting their reproductive behavior. Such massive upheavals of habitats, say the climate-blamers, led to the wholesale extinction of most of North America's large herbivores...."2 Lyell, as long ago as 1853, suggested that mammoths could simply migrate to escape the fierce arctic winters given present arctic conditions. "Whenever there is a continuity of land from polar to temperate and equatorial regions, there will always be points where the southern limits of an arctic species meets the northern range of a southern species; and if one or both have migratory habits... ...
18. Pole-Shift [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the earth's surface that has been carefully studied, many climatic changes have taken place, apparently quite suddenly." It is worth while to look at some of these points to better understand what a sudden climatic change involves. Examining the Evidence In many places the Alaskan muck is packed with bones and debris- in trainload lots. Bones of mammoth, mastodon, several kinds of bison, horses, wolves, bears, and lions tell a story of rich faunal population. The Alaskan muck is like a fine, dark-gray sand. Within this matrix, frozen solid, lie the twisted parts of animals and trees, intermingled with lenses of ice and layers of peat and mosses. ...
19. The Mammoths' Demise - a correct solution requires more facts [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1999:1 (Jul 1999) Home | Issue Contents The Mammoths' Demise - a correct solution requires more facts by Gordon P. Williams The disappearance of the mammoths from the tundra of Northern Russia and Siberia has produced many explanations from professionals and amateurs. The purpose of this paper is to introduce new facts into the debate. The most convincing argument against Lyell's uniformitarianism, which has had a controlling influence on nearly all geological explanations, comes not from his contemporaries but from the works of the Greek Philosophers and Roman poets. This evidence was cited by Thomas Burnet in his argument in support of the Mosaic chronology [1 ]. ...

... the camels, all the horses, all the ground sloths, two genera of musk-oxen, peccaries, certain antelopes, a giant bison with a horn spread of six feet, a giant beaver-like animal, a stag-moose, and several kinds of cats, some of which were of lion size."1 Also the Imperial elephant and the Columbian mammoth, animals larger than the African elephant and common all over North America, disappeared. The mastodon that inhabited the forests and ranged from Alaska to the Atlantic coast and Mexico, and the woolly mammoth that roamed in a broad area adjacent to the ice sheets, likewise persisted until a few thousand years ago.2 These species are believed ...
