... deposits belonging to the last or Tertiary Stage of the world's existence. 79. These events in the world's history were the logical and inevitable outcome of a collision with a heavenly body or collection of bodies at a given period, say, in the closing moments of the Tertiary Age, or, as some say, Quaternary, when the mammoth yet roamed the wilds of Siberia and was engulfed in the vast area of snow and ice that resulted in places formerly moist and warm. This possibility of an appulsion is one to be considered more closely presently in an examination of the composition and movements of cometary bodies, but assuming for the present that such were the media we can ...
282. Carbon 14 Dates and Velikovsky's Revision of Ancient History [Journals] [Pensee]
... as at Gordion, was probably centuries later. Before leaving the area, however, let us travel only 9 km. south of the palace to Osmanaga Lagoon at the head of Navarino Bay on Messenia's west coast, and we will find the kind of sample termed "ideal" by Kohler and Ralph (77), because, unlike mammoth trees, its life span is so very short. When pollen grains annually produced by flowering vegetation in the area around Pylos are dispersed by the wind, and land on the lake's surface, they "become waterlogged, and settle to the bottom, where they are buried by sediment" (78). This process has occurred for ...
... "multitudinous din" of voices, with ships coming from and going to the ends of the earth. Plato says that the Atlanteans possessed wealth such as never before was owned by kings or potentates, and though cargoes were brought from foreign lands the island itself was excessively fertile. There was abundance of timber, a great many elephants (mammoths?), wild and domestic beasts, and every sort of flower, fruit, and vegetable. The soil was richly endowed with minerals, including gold and orichalcum, and in addition they quarried black, red, and white stones in this "sacred island lying beneath the sun". THE GREAT PLAIN Plato speaks also of the ...
... the ancients, bearing a very sacred name to the Hellenes. It may be difficult to imagine that prior to this great catastrophe there dwelt here happy and prosperous peoples in a lovely climate and country, indeed, the veritable Hesperides themselves. Geology helps us here, for under the flow of basalt on Mull evidence exists to show that the mammoth ranged the forests and the sahal-palm and various kinds of huge plantanides flourished in a delicious sub-tropical climate.19 And here, on this illustrious island of Mull, if we accept the Miztec legend as applicable, stood the sumptuous palace of the gods. Whereby I shall speak of the Greek island of Euboea. When describing the course of ...
285. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Association for Near Eastern Archaeology) No. 13 (July 2000) p. 8, mentions that both the B.M . and the Louvre are actively interested in the ultra-low' Middle Bronze Mesopotamian chronology of Gasche et al (see C&CR 1998:2 pp. 36-7). Prof. J. D. Hawkins' mammoth three part Corpus of Hieroglyphic Luwian Inscriptions, Vol.1 : Inscriptions of the Iron Age is at last available, although not fully up to date after about 10 years in the publishing process (Walter de Gruyter, Berlin, 2000, price believed to be astronomical). This should greatly facilitate research on the Hittites. A newly ...
286. Catastrophe, Collective Trauma, and the Origin of Civilization [Articles]
... domestication. Like the beginnings and endings of the Ice Ages that preceded it, the close of the most recent glacial period came suddenly, and it brought devastation in its wake. Sea levels rose by some 300 feet over the course of centuries. Hundreds of species were extinguished, including (in America alone) the camel, mastodon, mammoth, ground sloth, giant peccary and giant beaver, dire wolf, short-faced bear, mountain deer, and saber-toothed cat. Some paleontologists believe that human beings hastened a few of these extinctions through overhunting. Also, the Earth's magnetic field has apparently reversed its polarity some 20 times during the past 4 million years-most recently, about 12, ...
287. The Gaseous Complex [Books] [de Grazia books]
... large areas and the species it contains are modern, then one should suspect that sooner or later, as Hibben has opined, humans, even clothed and deep-frozen, should turn up by accident or deliberate excavation. Already, several pre-"Ice Age" settlements have been uncovered within the arctic circle by Americans and Russians. Rodents and mammoths froze quickly while eating warm-weather plants. How abrupt was the climatic change that killed them is unreported, if known. The polar regions were recently near-tropical in climate and ecology [18]. The bafflement of archaeologists over climate is understandable. They follow the evolutionists. But the attic of climatic evolutionism is stuffed with junk. When a ...
288. Hurricanes and Cyclones [Books] [de Grazia books]
... So cyclones darken abruptly the sky, and bring ear-bursting and chest-bursting drops in barometric pressure. They explode houses by creating vacuums into which the inside air must burst. They lift boulders and cows, carrying them off, and they dig up the earth. There is a hint in cyclonic action of what may have happened to some of the mammoths and other large-animals that were exterminated a few thousand years ago: suffocation; lifting and dropping; followed by quick freezing; thence to be discovered in the same position today. Winds act faster than water and have the same exponential effect upon the bodies which they may encounter as their speed increases. Wind pressure, that is, increases ...

... ." This is a weakly luminous process. On reaching the ground a conductive channel is now available between the ground and the cloud. The result is the brilliant arc of the "return stroke" - a bolt of lightning. The simplest and smallest sprites are single vertical columns named C sprites. Large collections of C sprites resemble a mammoth fireworks display. A subset of the sprites with tendrils- often the largest and most energetic- also exhibit upward branching toward the ionosphere, and are named carrots. Very large sprites with diffuse tops and lower tendrils extending down to altitudes of 30-40 km have been dubbed angels, jellyfish, and A-bombs. With maximum vertical extents exceeding 60 km, ...
290. Floods and Tides [Books] [de Grazia books]
... bone piles. A succession of revolutionary actions would have blown to bits, dissipated, ground up, converted to fuels, washed into the sea, and deeply buried many others. The scenes at bone deposits are impressive: they are worldwide; they are found at low and high altitudes. Strange bedmates are discovered: ostriches and foxes; mammoths and lions; peacocks and horses; elephants and sharks. Anthropologist Frank Hibben surveyed the bone mucks of Alaska and heard of similar deposits in nearby Siberia. The Arctic Ocean is in fact rimmed by the bones of many millions of animals. Hibben weighed the possibilities: hunters' overkill, ice flows, natural death, volcanic ash burials ...
