... , are also described by Velikovsky. So as one can clearly see, the astronomers were so repulsed by Velikovsky's cosmic catastrophic theory that they created a theory which incorporates nearly all of Velikovsky's concepts of recent cosmic catastrophism. Sir Fred Hoyle, who has become an ardent supporter of Clube and Napier's catastrophic evidence, states that "Whole heads of mammoths perished all in a moment. They did so by sudden melting of the permafrost on which they spent their lives, causing them to become immersed in icy water, which then refroze within a matter of hours. Only a blast from the sky could have had such an effect . . . . "We . . . see what ...
322. A Harbinger of the Exodus? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (v . 9) translated as unicorn in the AV. Chapter 40 then introduces behemoth - the chief of the ways of God', which eats grass as an ox', moveth his tail like a cedar', can draw up Jordan into his mouth', and whose nose pierceth through snares'. Whether elephant, woolly mammoth, or some other creature, there is no question that behemoth is an animal: it is equally certain that leviathan of chapter 41 is not. Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or cauldron. His breath kindleth coals ...
323. Cataclysms of the Earth [Books]
... made rocks which also tell their tales. Each stratum of earth was created during one of the epochs of time; Remains of life growths are now embedded In rocks that were once dirt and slime. The limestone strata of Himalayas grew in ocean waters' shoal; The glacial markings in tropical lands are the epoch's ice cap scroll. Siberian mammoths were buried alive, Interrupting their tropic stroll; And a tropical land of the previous age Now lies ice-embalmed at the Pole. For the earth is a great stone book with strata of stone for pages; In which we'll find if we look the living record of ancient ages. H. A. B. ...
324. Chapter 13 Scythian Princes in the Royal Tombs of Ur [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... turned to ice. Thus the tombs had become frozen storehouses, in which the bodies of the chieftains, and their women, horses and possessions of perishable fur, fabric, leather and wood were preserved for all time."90 Temperature plays a large role in how long flesh in the earth takes to biodegrade. The frozen bodies of mammoths in the Siberian tundra speak eloquently of this fact. If, as at Ur, the temperature of the soil is high and there is little or no moisture in it, that will remove nearly all the moisture from bodies and they will be preserved. This process occurred in the Tarim Basin in Northern China, as described in Chapter ...
325. The Establishment of Gradualism [Books]
... much more closely related to each other, than are the fossils from formations distant from each other in time" [32]. However, according to Stanley, there was even at that time some positive evidence against gradualism. For example, three genera of elephants, one including the African elephant, one the Indian elephant and one the mammoth, had been shown to have appeared more or less simultaneously from the ancestral genus Primelephas, and the two surviving species had changed very little from the time of their first appearance to the present day (a time interval now thought to be in excess of 4 Myr) [31]. In vain the palaeozoologist, Thomas Henry Huxley ...
326. Chapter 14 Agronomy and Climatology [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... into the temperate zone. But secondly, of even greater importance, a fourteen to eighteen degree tilt of the Earth's axis would change the climatic conditions of this region. Summers in the southern Mesopotamian plain would have been cooler because the axial tilt was smaller than at present, and winters would have been warmer (see The Extinction of the Mammoth, by this author, page 205, for a clearer explanation of this phenomenon). Thirdly, this would have affected the rainfall pattern of the region. The farther this region near the latitude of where the deserts exist is moved northward by this axial tilt, the more rainfall it will experience. The weak monsoon that arrives around ...

328. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . Earth in Upheaval appeared in November 1955. Velikovsky examined the century-old principle of Lyellian uniformity by comparing its tenets with anomalous finds from all quarters of the globe: frozen muck in Alaska that consists almost entirely of myriads of torn and broken animals and trees; whole islands in the Arctic Sea whose soil is packed full of unfossilized bones of mammoths, rhinoceroses, and horses; unglaciated polar lands and glaciated tropical countries; coral and coal deposits near the poles; bones of animals from tundra, prairie, and tropical rainforest intimately associated in jumbled heaps and interred in common graves; the startling youth of the world's great mountain chains; shifted poles; reversed magnetic polarities; sudden changes ...

... - and did - change its axis, even with no external force applied. Confirmed is also the conclusion that advanced human culture would be found in the today uninhabited area on the Kolyma or Lena rivers flowing into the Arctic Ocean' in northeastern Siberia (W . in C., p. 329) in the region where herds of mammoths roamed. Already in 1951, A. P. Okladnikov [31] making known the results of his research in northern Siberia, wrote: about two to three millennia before our era, neolithic races...spread to the very coast of the Arctic Ocean in the north and the Kolyma in the east.
