... ."(24) Close to the picture of the dinosaur appears a drawing of an elephant attacking a large man. Elephants were not found in America when it was discovered by Columbus, but remains of elephants "are very common all over North America, and they are found from Alaska to Mexico. Three species are represented: the mammoth, the mastodon and the imperial elephant (elephas imperator) of California."(25) On the wall of the Canyon is the picture of the last species. The restored skeleton stands fourteen feet high. Next to these pictures an ibex is drawn; prehistoric pictures of the ibex, rather artistically executed, are also found in ...
272. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... greenhouse effect on Venus! Ice age Eden Earthwatch Magazine Jan/Feb 95, p. 30 About 200,000 years ago Britain was supposed to be in the middle of an ice age but one of the richest fossil sites in Europe, near Oxford, has revealed large numbers of well preserved remains of plants and large mammals, including mammoths and lions, indicative of a lush, warm period. CATASTROPHES Ungallantly unacknowledged Abstract of talk at GSA meeting, Oct. 1994 Hugh Torrens of the University of Keele notes that Rene Gallant's book Bombarded Earth, published in 1964, was crucified for its unverifiable speculation, especially as it was written by a non-specialist. Since impact theories exploded ...
273. Comments: on the First Issue [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... should first of all be based on field evidence, which seems so far lacking. And if the supposed catastrophe was universal, why did monotheism only arise on the Nile or on Mount Sinai? The fact that Jews every year commemorate Passover contradicts the repression of a supposed traumatic experience. Mankind does have a memory - Eskimoes even remember the mammoth! Repression would seem typical only of the Age of Enlightenment: even a catastrophist like George Cuvier devoted a third of his geological volume to argue that myth has no value (2 ). Velikovsky cannot have it both ways: explaining monotheism with an Exodus cataclysm and leaving the possibility of other explanations open; valuating myth as a source ...
274. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... of American Indian history, which supposes that a band of hunter-gatherers trekked across the Bering Strait some twelve thousand years ago, eventually settling along the coasts of North and South America where they promptly set about slaughtering the indigenous megafauna. Here Deloria argues that it is extremely improbable that Stone Age Indians could have exterminated animals as formidable as the woolly mammoth and saber-toothed tiger even had they wanted to, which itself is unlikely from everything we know about Native Americans' symbiotic relationship with Nature's various life-forms. At the same time, Deloria makes a strong case for the antiquity of the Indians' population of the New World. Signs abound that Deloria is on the right track here. Scholars ...

276. The Polar Column: A Physical Model of Myth [Journals] [Aeon]
... , it is speculated that even a partial demagnetization due to a phase reversal, or collapse of the polar column, would have caused a precipitous cooling, where the temperature of the arctic region would drop to at least that of liquid air (circa -150 C). In some measure, this would account for the sudden demise of the mammoths and other beasts of the northern tundra by suffocation and subsequent freezing. In this ultimate disaster, the total collapse of the column would have been accompanied by colossal lightning discharges and would have caused a cooling so immediate, so intensely penetrating, and so abysmal, that the atmosphere itself would have precipitated as snowflakes in a blizzard throughout the ...
277. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... of this constellation may well have originated about 26,000 BP before the peak of the last glaciation...when Polaris was earlier the pole star. At that time, the giant cave bear, whose veneration traces back 50,000 years, was the supreme beast of prey and sacred to Paleolithic Man in Europe. While the mammoth and mastodon survived the last Ice Age, the giant cave bear did not...Thus, the giant cave bear was last venerated when Polaris was the pole star. If the Earth was upside-down at that time, as Mr. Field suggests, then Paleolithic Man in Europe could not have projected the giant cave bear on the ...
278. Tiahuanaco and the Delug [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... caused a world-wide deluge, effecting changes of climate and provoking earthquakes accompanied by volcanic eruptions. The "ring" left by the satellite after breaking into fragments caused a sudden drop in temperature of at least 20 degrees, which geologists recognize as "a decline" in temperature: It is evident, for example, in the discovery of frozen mammoths in the Siberian tundra. Possibly gravity- and therefore physical weight- was also changed on earth, and with it biological growth: this would explain the widespread construction of huge megalithic monuments as well as the presence of giants- man and animal- in fossil strata, tombs, and myths. According to Horbiger four moons fell on ...
279. Nine Spheres of Venusian Effects [Books] [de Grazia books]
... passage of Phaeton at this time burned the Earth and turned Africans to black from the heat, but it is not unbelievable that so many of the non-black peoples of Africa were destroyed that the continental population noticeably blackened after the event. Those who deny marine disasters can of course rely upon the absence of datable fossil events, but there are mammoth destructions datable to the time, and a Woods Hole Oceanographic Expedition to the Black Sea uncovered a general layer of coccoliths that occurs at the -3500 level and could not simply have died normally and drifted to the bottom en masse. The ancient historian Josephus said that nature, in a revolution, produced "mutations in the bodies of men ...
280. The Stationary Period of the Satellites [Books]
... life took refuge, and which were eventually overwhelmed in their turn by sudden catastrophe, as, for instance, the saurian cemeteries' of Solnhofen, in Bavaria (a bight of the zenithal tide hill of the Mesozoic satellite), or of Mongolia or North America (western and eastern bights of the nadiral tide hill), or the mammoth grave' of Predmost, in Czechoslovakia (a bight of the zenithal tide hill of the Tertiary satellite). The fact that fossils of aquatic animals are more frequent, especially in the earlier geological formations, does not prove that the land animals came into existence later, but rather that they were not embedded. The chief reason for ...
