... in one part of the world, but a number of animals succeeded in surviving in another part of the world; so the horses and camels of the Americas were destroyed without a survivor, yet in Eurasia, though decimated, they were not exterminated. But many species were completely extinguished, in the Old World as well as the New- mammoths and mastodons and others. They expired not because of lack of food or inadequate organic evolution, inferior build or lack of adaptation. Plentiful food and superb bodies and fine adaptation and solid procreation, but no survival of the fit. They died as if a wind had snuffed life out of all of them, leaving their cadavers, ...
... our collisionist" "has studied in just about all the places there are on this globe and his book is as liberally sprinkled with footnotes as salt on cinema house popcorn;" in a more serious vein, F. L. thought that the book offered one of the most original solutions he had seen for the mystery of the fresh mammoth carcasses that were occasionally unearthed. Joseph Landau (Louisville Courier-Journal, April 2) discussed the book in relation to a fundamentalist perspective, admitting that a superficial reading would provide "wonderful ammunition to those who have battled modern interpretation of the Bible." But in actuality, the book treated the scriptures as "human history, as history ...
... , like all such except at the point of impact, can also be explained. A vast body, in shape like a long coil or serpent moving with tremendous celerity, is charged with enormous electric or magnetic power, a dynamo of a vastness which the human mind can scarce visualise. As it passes over the earth, like a mammoth magnet, it attracts to itself all the metallic influences lying under the soil. As the soil of Japan is highly volcanic it is certain that it contains, whether mined or not, iron, steel, nickel, cobalt, load-stone, or ferromagnetic material, and as this vast magnetised attractive power passed over them in a rapid north-to-south ...
... gallery, all so devised that it would require a tremendous appulsion to penetrate the stupendous core, all cemented together, and destroy these places of refuge, and at the worst the King or Arch-Magus might seek refuge in the huge stone sarcophagus in the King's chamber. To approach the King's or Queen's chambers, the only two apartments in this mammoth edifice, entrance was made by a comparatively small stone door, some way up the outside of the Pyramid, air-tight and water-tight, so perfectly fitted to the surrounding stones that it was extremely difficult to find. After entering there was a steep descending passage from which at a certain distance opened up the ascending passage, formerly blocked by ...
265. Decades Of Darkness And Dendrochronology [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... through a darkness that seemed to last for years.138 However, I now understand how the Earth should have been periodically covered in darkness and gloom for decades based strictly on Velikovsky's thesis. This has to do with the catastrophe which ended the hipsithermal which I claim occurred about 3500 years ago. In my book, The Extinction of the Mammoth, "Poleshift" pages 202 to 237 is outlined evidence from varves, trees and historical data that the deserts of the Earth blossomed from about 8500 to about 3500/3000 years ago. Thereafter there was a climate catastrophe which ended this fecund vegetative period and which rapidly ushered in the dessication of these great land masses and turned them ...

... the sources and their interpretation, and even in the impact of the book on the public and on the scientific community. Like Velikovsky, Donnelly surveyed existing scientific knowledge, pointing to gaps in it and evi 219 Blundering Critics dence for past catastrophic events- for instance, quoting the same passage from Cuvier as does Velikovsky concerning extinction of the mammoths (Ragnarok, p. 47, and Worlds in Collision, p. 25). Like Velikovsky, Donnelly described what effects the approach of a comet to earth would produce: a change in inclination of theearth's axis; great cracks in the surface; inconceivably powerful winds; vast heat; the fall of debris producing darkness, electrical ...
... "facts" could not be taken seriously by scientists. Scientists have great confidence, for which there is some justification from past experience, that- eventually- discordant facts will become concordant as knowledge grows, new factors are identified, theories become more general. So they are used to living with a host of unexplained matters- extinction of the mammoths (and dinosaurs, and others), periodic reversals of the earth's magnetic field, the origin and differentiation of languages, the mechanisms responsible for the Ice Ages- all the unexplained things emphasized 260 Beyond Velikovsky by Velikovsky. Those are just "lonely" facts; they have not been correlated or fitted in, so they have little ...

... sharing one head, they were seen to be arranged in mutual opposition, head to head. At a site called Sungir, in a suburb of Vladimir, near Moscow, this is how two boys were buried, one between 7 and 9 years old, and the other between 12 and 13. Their ornaments consisted of thousands of pierced mammoth ivory beads sewn as ornaments intotheir clothing. To these beads in their headdresses were added canine teeth of polar foxes. Artifacts included sixteen spears, darts, and daggers. Found in 1969, this grave and the cemetery in which it was included, were dated to 23,000 B.C . Evidently, the boys were of ...

A sudden celestial ice dump; the ice age is held to be part of the flood catastrophe. It is fascinating that the quick-frozen mammoths of northern Siberia had grasses and sedges frozen in their stomachs and mouths in the seed stage, indicating the autumn of their growth cycle. 37. The eccentricity of Venus' orbit is .007. This compares to Earth's .017, Mars' .093, the Moon's .055. Others are Jupiter's .049, Saturn's . ...
