... the Egyptians of Herodotus' time found it (to quote Herodotus) hard to pronounce the names of these pharaohs [Cheops and Chephren] '. This damnatio memoriae is linked by de Telder to those placed on Akhenaten and his progeny. The work is professionally produced and looks good (especially the English edition), with copious tables, maps and coloured illustrations. Of the actual scholarship, however, there is much to criticise. To begin with, a reconstruction covering such a huge area of ancient history needs a great deal more, in terms of content and evidence, than is provided. Whole epochs are skimmed over in a few sentences. Similarly, intensely controversial statements ...
262. Palaeomagnetism And Archaeomagnetism [Books]
... `Owing to the difficulty of distinguishing boundaries in the thin varves, only an approximate correlation between the two localities was obtained. The estimated maximum error is thought to be not more than 50 years', writes Griffith.11 He states that `the varves throughout the valley had been dated by Liden, and by reference to the old maps and records, he had been able to show that the uppermost varves here [at the site where the cores were taken] are about a thousand years old.12 Liden dated the total length of time covered by the two cores as lying between 1100 B.C . and A.D . 750, the overlap being 400 ...
263. Sodom and Gomorrah's Location and Destruction [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Bela. These were not only linked geographically but also commercially, and seemed to constitute a trading consortium. The evidence for their location in the northern part of what is now the Dead Sea is as follows. When Abraham and Lot separated their forces just before the invasion, they were camped in an area between Bethel and Ai (see map). Abraham went south with his troops and stayed at Hebron. Lot took his forces to the east. As Genesis expresses it, "So Lot chose for himself the whole Jordan plain, and set out eastward .. . and settled among the cities of the plain, pitching his tent near Sodom." [8 ] ...
264. The Discovery Of Fossil Meteoritic Craters [Books]
... that have undergone intense erosion. It is easy to realize that the identification of fossil craters is a very difficult matter and needs the use of special techniques. Magnetic and gravimetric surveys play an important role in the search for fossil meteoritic craters, as they allow the discovery of the magnetic disturbances and the gravimetric deficiencies they should present. Aerial mapping is a powerful medium for the location of fossil meteoritic structures, as the pictures often reveal the circular pattern that is no longer identifiable from the ground. Seismic investigation gives important information. This method consists in triggering off explosions in the structure being studied and observing the behaviour of the explosion waves31 Under the leadership of Beals, and Innes ...
265. Annotated Bibliography for Catastrophism [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... , Berlin, 1970. Butterworth considers the mythology of the World Tree and the Tree of Life with emphasis on Asiatic variants. He also discusses important symbols (the lunar crescent, the bowl, the sun, the thunderbolt) and the relationship of the world tree to ecstatic rituals shamanism, and yoga. Butterworth shows the human body was mapped onto the cosmos by ancient peoples, and how the human spine was related to the cosmic axis or world tree. Wood, Robert Muir. The Dark Side of the Earth. Allen & Unwin, London and Boston, 1985. Wood's book will be of interest to catastrophists because of its interesting description of the relationship between the geologist ...
266. Requirements For The Convection Cell [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the mid-ocean ridges stretch for 64,000 kms and migrate as the sea floor spreads. From the seismic analysis of atomic explosions and earthquakes has come confirmation of Beno Gutenberg's suggestion that low density material lay within the mantle [2 ]. From the changed speed of shock waves through the layers below the crust, this region has now been mapped and is known as the Low Velocity Zone or LVZ, where the rock is supposed to be nearly molten and therefore plastic, but the rocks below this zone are increasingly solid; it is thought that flow could take place in the LVZ at a very slow rate, and thus any convection cell would have to be shallow as the ...

268. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... consternation over all the world". Dr Burl's book is a comprehensive account of the architectural features and archaeological investigations at all the British sites with special emphasis on Stonehenge and Avebury. The sites are discussed individually, and in detail, and a particularly useful gazetteer is included which gives details of the size and condition of each site with its map reference. The book is rounded off by an extensive bibliography as befits what is likely to become a standard work in its field. The first work reviewed above states the problem arising from this explosion of evidence: "Archaeology is now faced with finding a Megalithic society to suit its monuments"; which brings us to Science and Society ...
269. Cattigara - Legend and History by Stan Hall (Reviewed) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... by Jill Abery This is an unusual little book, written by a construction engineer with a great interest in catastrophism. It begins with a short story in which he imagines a voyage of exploration in the 2nd century AD, eastwards from Arabia in search of the legendary city of Cattigara marked on the far side of the Pacific Ocean on a map of the Graeco-Egyptian geographer Ptolomeo. The captain believes in the sunken continent of Mu, which he describes as having been destroyed in a single night by a new planet born from the head of Jupiter. Cattigara is eventually reached and proves to have connections with Atlantis, but an Atlantis to which the author has given a new and interesting ...
270. Chapter XXX: The Temple-stars [Books]
... a Columbae, while this was not possible for Dubhe, because it became circumpolar and never rose. It may also be pointed out that the temple V of Lepsius at Karnak finds its place in a series by supposing it to have been oriented to the S.E . instead of the N.W . as shown in Lepsius' maps. Such a mistake might easily have arisen in consequence of its ruined condition. It may be stated in favour of my view that I am acquainted with no temple in Egypt directed between the amplitudes 35 and 90 N. of W. Curves Showing the Declinations of Some of the Stars Used by the Egyptian Astronomers At Different Epochs. ...
