... copies of criticism for reply, these critiques, as well as that in XII:l , came as a surprise. In addition, Cardona's rebuttal to my letter "A Cosmic Non Sequitur" in XI:l was not a letter or Forum item, but a full-blown article. In distinct contrast, William White's "Catastrophism and the Mammoths" was serialized in the letters section of Vol. XI. Whereas Cardona was defending the pro-Velikovsky line, White was criticizing it. The playing field was no longer level for me, even though Greenberg really did encourage me to write "Still Facing Many Problems." 3. Several of these readers no longer subscribed to Kronos after ...

Gigantic Australian appetite New Scientist 8.11.97, pp. 36-40, The Times 15.12.97 Ancient Australians lived alongside a variety of mega-marsupials, the Australian equivalent of northern mammoths, cave bears, giant ground sloths etc., which had all disappeared by the end of the last ice age. They even ate them according to recent finds of their bones alongside bloodstained stone tools, although whether they actually hunted them or simply scavenged dead beasts is difficult to say. Ancient Australians were also eating cereals, milled ...

223. The Recency of the Surface [Books] [de Grazia books]

... ] Like every radiochronometric process, with its half-life calculations, radiocarbon decay is figured at a declining exponential rate. The mathematics of exponentialism subjects the process to time collapse; exponential rates in chronology are an unreliable ally of uniformitarian rates in biostratigraphical measures of time and of macrochronism generally. In the clamor of debate over the significance of the multitudinous mammoth (and antelope, rhinoceros, and other) fossils of recent times, the long spread of Carbon 14 dates assigned to the finds has attracted attention, but their meaning for carbondating has been ignored. If frozen mammoth finds are dated from 44,000 years ago at one extreme to 2500 years ago at the other extreme, an ...

... pour back onto the Earth to freeze almost everything that had been theretofore transported to the polar regions. This might explain why hecatombs of animal bones and tree fragments are piled helter-skelter in the permafrost muck of the frozen north- animals and plants which are not indigenous to the frigid climates- and in some respects account for the demise of some of the mammoths and other ice age inhabitants. However, it doesn't explain all. The mammoth population, for instance, died out over several thousand years. Perhaps an appreciable portion of Earth's atmosphere would be lost to space and blown away by the solar wind during such a northern excursion. There would be that much less residual airmass capacity to transport ...

... thesis occured in 1955 when he published Earth in Upheaval21 which restricted itself to the geological evidence, or as he calls it, "the record of stone and bone." This was to demonstrate that his conclusions did not rest solely on the written record. The book tackled some of the persisting enigmas of nature. For example, the mammoths of Siberia which were encased in ice with undigested food in their stomachs and between their teeth of a kind not presently found there must have been quickly frozen or their carcasses would have rotted before preservation.22 The presence of corals in polar regions demonstrates that the Earth's poles did not always point where they do now.23 An explanation ...

I would appreciate it very much if you could give me the required information. Very sincerely, IMMANUEL VELIKOVSKY March 12, 1954 DEAR DR.

One day he slew four lions and three bears, (15) though he had no weapons. His most serious adventure was with the reem. David encountered the mammoth beast asleep, and taking it for a mountain, he began to ascend it. Suddenly the reem awoke, and David found himself high up in the air on its horns. He vowed, if he were rescued, to build a temple to God one hundred ells in height, as high as the horns of the reem. ...
