... .... sports. I was lucky that my civil war re-enactor uncle also happened to be into Velikovsky for awhile... didn't know all these years later I'd be spending my spare reading time digging into post- Veli thought (be trying to figure out with my cookie jar money how to pay for a book about dead mammoths.) Of course I was totally thrilled a few years ago when my dad bought me fossils for my birthday! (He Understands:) HAROLD TRESMAN: Mel's previous comment: (Parenthetical remark here: My radical/puritan tendencies push me to keep the theoretical apples separate from the theoretical cranberries altho I'm aware apple-cranberry cocktails can be ...

... would be expected if they were due to shifting ice. Discharge channels will throw material from the younger channel into the older where they intersect. Cracks should not show this characteristic. After that I need a long, cold Fosters! Wal Thornhill ARCTIC CLIMATE CHANGES By Clark Whelton (whel@worldnet.att.net) The discussion about mammoths on Wrangel Island in the Arctic prompts me to re-post an earlier message about well-preserved temperate forests at 79 degrees north latitude. The discovery of non-mineralized fresh-looking deciduous trees and the fossils of tropical fauna on Axel Heiberg Island still strikes me as remarkable. Clark W. (Reposted message below) The appeal to continental drift does not explain the ...

... large dimensions seem to be indicated here. The god Mars is referred to in Babylonia as the God of Noise. There is an insistent connection of noise with the planet Mars. The connections between heavenly sounds, sacred events, and the beginnings of music appear to be secure. From Chernikov, in the Ukraine, Soviet scholars reported finding mammoth bones converted into skull drums, shoulder blade kettle drums, and lower-jaw xylophones, at an estimated date of 20,000 years. If the instruments, all of the drum family, are correctly identified, it would mean that the settlement was fully human, with a religion. For nowhere is there any indication of musical instruments or ...
295. The Great Debate [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... even debated among paleontologists. The most recent extinction came at the close of the last Ice Age (which, incidentally, was once believed to have occurred 3.5 million years ago, but gradually the figure has been trimmed until it now reads 10,000 years ago- and still questioned). Among its victims were the woolly mammoth, the mastodon, the sabre-tooth tiger, the super-bison, and many other large land mammals. Thousands of tons of torn and broken carcasses of these animals have been found above the Arctic Circle in Alaska and Siberia, heaped together with millions of shattered trees. In Alaska the conglomeration is known as "muck," and it is ...

... equally well help to preserve a few species during world wide catastrophes. Attenborough fails to notice the significance of the repeated examples of mass extinction of large land animals, not just the dinosaurs. In fact, after all the fossil evidence presented for the lower groups, there is practically nothing about the recent large mammal extinctions, such as the mammoths, cave bears, Smilodon etc., not even with an ice-age explanation. The disappearance of many recent South American mammals, including the giant anteater, camel, armadillo and sloth, is put down to invasion from the north as the two continents resumed contact via the Panama "bridge". If associated extinctions and land movements do ...

... rocks (actually a "soft, claylike matrix") in central India. Within the rib cage of each there was found a skeleton of a smaller reptile - that is, they had died before digesting their last meal. Although this was not further commented upon, the conclusion is evident. Just as the full stomachs of the Siberian mammoths indicate their sudden and unnatural deaths, so it is with these "reptiles". Either they died of indigestion or they were overwhelmed in a sudden catastrophic event with their last meal still undigested. The SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN piece is an article on Pterosaurs, the bird-like and feathered saurians. Pteranodan is mentioned as having a throat sac rather like ...

... France shows an injury probably caused by a blow from a sharp weapon. This is only the second piece of evidence for deliberate aggression, so they were probably little different from modern man for violence. They were also similar when it came to cooperation. A Neanderthal butchery site has been found in Norfolk, complete with bones of four woolly mammoths and flint hand axes. It is thought the beasts were scavenged, although Neanderthals were adept at hunting smaller prey. Regional Development New Scientist, 23.2 .02, p. 36, 19.1 .02, p. 13 A study of skull shape and dimensions shows that modern man about 30,000yrs ago did ...

... such) never covered the central regions of Alaska nor parts of the Aleutian Range. He reports, as have others, the several hundred feet of frozen muck deposited in various unglaciated areas. In the muck are volcanic ash layers, peat, animal and vegetable matter in vast quantities, and ice fragments. Below the muck have been found mammoth bones, human artifacts, and tree stumps in their original position as they had grown. The total effect is of several simultaneously interacting high energy forces, whose total rate of burnup of the Earth's rotational energy must have in hours, not in a million years, taken up the equivalent of five minutes of the Earth's rotational energy, ...
... wonder that Shapley never deigned to reply to Velikovsky's impudence. He merely passed the letter on to one of his colleagues, the same Donald Menzel who had been mentioned in O'Neill's article. Menzel was no stranger to unusual ideas; in the 1920's he had even published a piece about how the ancient Eastern Mediterranean civilizations could have been destroyed by mammoth volcanic explosions. (24) At Shapley's urging, Menzel eventually sprang to the attack, but he bided his time until suitable opportunities arose. (25) In addition to Shapley and the Harvard College Observatory, Velikovsky sent his pamphlet to a dozen other scientists and to a score of large-circulation libraries. The only response he got, ...
