... in the past, are there such great gaps between them? I was told off for asking silly questions. Then I wanted to know why weren't fossils being formed today. There was no answer to that one, either, and I still don't know to this day, as a matter of fact. When we came to learn about mammoths she cheerfully explained to us how marvellous it was to find their carcasses frozen in the tundra. There was grass stuck in their teeth, they had full stomachs, and the most amazing thing of all, if you cut into the meat it was still edible, it was so freshly frozen. "Actually, they died of starvation ...
232. Sinking and Rising Lands [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . There came a summer of darkness, great earthquakes, a spitting of fire from newly bursting mountains, a general holocaust, an obliteration of rivers, and huge floods that advanced to cover most of the land. Whole islands were newly formed by the bones of dead cows and sand (one is reminded of the Siberian islands formed of mammoth bones). The survivors were subjected by invading Finnish bands (just as the Hyksos invaded Egypt after the Exodus) [3 ]. The Caribbean peoples talk of an "Antilla," now sunk beneath the ocean. The Pacific Ocean and American peoples of the Southern Hemisphere say that once a continent existed where now stand a few ...
233. Thiele's Assyrian Reliance [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Hoshea causes Tiglath Pileser, and those conventionally contemporary with him, to move chronologically. The question of whether Menahem and Azariah/Uzziah could ever be contemporary with Tiglath Pileser III is then considered, along with the question of who PUL might have been. This article follows from my article about the Limmu lists [1 ]. In his mammoth effort of scholarship The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings, Thiele [2 ] was obliged to accept the prevailing dicta of the Assyriologists. Thiele had at his disposal what I consider to be the gold standard of Biblical Chronology. That he chose to cease using it is confirmed by his statement that Hoshea clearly was gone by the time ...

From: SIS C & C Review 2003 (Nov 2003) Conference Proceedings Ages Still in Chaos' Home | Issue Contents Agronomy and Climatology Charles Ginenthal Charles Ginenthal is the author of Carl Sagan and Immanuel Velikovsky, Stephen Jay Gould and Immanuel Velikovsky and The Extinction of the Mammoth and has contributed articles to Aeon. He is Editor-in-Chief of The Velikovskian and is currently working on the scientific basis of chronology. Water has profoundly affected the course of human history. Its abundance has helped societies to flourish, its scarcity has caused them to wither. No consideration of history or of the fate of societies, past or present, can ignore its role'. Daniel J.

235. Pot Pourri [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Solutrean culture of France c. 15,000 BC [1 ] are virtually indistinguishable from Clovis points. Tracking the origin of Clovis-type blades back through Alaska to Siberia, the presumed provenance of both culture and people, proved a dead end. All blades found dated to around 9,500BC, the time of the extinction of the mammoths, giant armadillos and virtually all American megafauna, leaving a 500-year-plus gap between occurrences of the style in the two continents. This gap was removed when a spear point similar to Solutrean, dated to 14,000BC, was discovered at Cactus Hill. Douglas Wallace of Emory University, who is mapping the history of world migrations through genetic ...
236. Catastrophism and Evolution [Articles]
... 22). The palaeontologist M.W . de Laubenfels had previously suggested that the dinosaur extinction might have been caused by a giant meteorite impact (23). The engineer Otto Muck thought that a collision between the Earth and an asteroid might have led to the destruction of the legendary Atlantis, as well as the extinction of the Siberian mammoths (12). More recently, Sir Fred Hoyle has argued that asteroid impacts trigger the beginning and end of ice ages (24). Nevertheless, the prevailing tendency of evolutionary biologists has been to follow Darwin's belief that "Nature does not make jumps" (18), a dictum attributable to Linnaeus. The Modern Synthesis, ...

238. Quantalism: the Big Picture [Articles]
... , sometimes rapid and sometimes not . Although the term preferred by Stephen Gould for such evolution in spurts is punctuationism . I feel that the common rules of terminological priority require us to honor Huxley's earlier usage. The most dramatic manifestation of global catastrophe is probably biotic extinction, as exemplified by the relatively sudden disappearance of the Pleistocene megafanna, notably mammoths and mastodons. The most dramatic manifestation of its converse is, of course, speciation, as exemplified by the relatively sudden appearance of the Pleistocene genus Homo, to which our modern human species belongs . While it is true that Velikovsky sought to differentiate speciation from biotic catastrophe by referring to the former as "cataclysmic evolution," it ...
239. Book Review [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... tanks, the most heavily armoured mammals ever known and apparently immune to attack, also made successful inroads into North America. However, at the end of the Pleistocene they became extinct in both South and North America, together with the giant sloths and, significantly, several groups of mammals of North American origin: the horses, mastodons, mammoths, and sabre-tooths. At the same time several groups disappeared from North America but survived in South America: the capybaras, camels, short-faced bears, tapirs, and peccaries. Competition is an unsatisfactory explanation. A far more coherent picture is built up of catastrophic environmental events at the end of the Pleistocene, which were more severe in ...

... in addition to those added into the TIP) they will have caused distortions in the history of neighbouring countries which are Egyptologically dated (similar to the distortions outlined by James et al. in Centuries of Darkness for the TIP). This is exactly what we find : - i). C. E. F. Schaeffer in his mammoth Stratigraphie Comparee et Chronologie de l'Asie Occidentale [reviewed by G. Gammon (1980) in SIS Review] compared the strata of the 3rd and 2nd millennia from many sites in the Levant, Anatolia, Cyprus, etc. He summarised the evidence in a long fold-out table (No. IX) in which the stratigraphy and chronology at ...
