282. The Mississippi. Ch.10 Thirty-five Centuries Ago (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... by ice, the water of the basin emptied to a great extent into the Gulf of Mexico through the Mississippi. The Falls of St. Anthony on this stream at Minneapolis have excavated a long gorge by removing the bedrock. In the 1870s and 1880s N. H. Winchell made these falls the subject of a study. Comparing topographical maps covering two hundred years, he concluded that the falls had retreated 2.44 feet yearly. If this was the constant rate of retreat, the falls must have started 8000 years ago.2 But here, too, a larger stream carrying abundant detritus, which abraded the bedrock, must have flowed when the ice cover melted. ...
283. A Harbinger of the Exodus? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the same side of the river, was founded by the Sudan government in 1905 and made the capital of the district of Dongola .. . Meroe was probably also an alternative name for the city of Napata, the ancient capital of Ethiopia, built at the foot of the Jebel Barkal." [15] New Merawi appears on many maps, often spelled as Merowe'. Thus Napata was probably the Egyptian name for a city the Nubians called Meroe. When Cambyses's invasion prompted the Nubians to found a new capital further up the Nile, they again called it Meroe. The Egyptians used that name thereafter, so we can understand how Josephus, confusing an ancient and largely ...

... the largest ones", according to Beatty (3 , p. 137). TOPOGRAPHY AND TECTONICS: Nothing about the results from Pioneer Venus has been more ludicrous than the strained and even false attempts to see Venus as another Earth with mountains, giant valleys, continents and "ocean" basins. Yet, as a comparison of relief maps shows, Venus is much smoother than Earth (3 , 10). That Venus does not resemble Earth is also clear from the distribution of topography: Venus's is unimodal; Earth's, bimodal. On Venus, 60% of the surface lies within 500 meters of the average radius; only about 5% is classified as "continental ...

288. The shaping of the earth's topography [Books]
... It has been suggested that the ocean basins could be of meteoritic origin: J. J. Gilvarry, who has studied this problem,5and before him A. Dauvillier,6 arrive at the conclusion that impacts, hollowing craters ranging up to 5,000 km. in diameter, may indeed have occurred. If we look at a map of the world, there are several circular geographical structures which may suggest meteoritic origin. Examples: (a ) The Gulf of Campeche (Mexico): with a diameter of about 850 km. (about 500 miles). (b ) The arc of the West Indies (Lesser Antilles) prolonged by the north coast of Venezuela ...
... one of the earlier ages which continued in active existence and became the attractive force to later volcanic deposits of the Tertiary Age. Mt. Vesuvius, showing the various cones (in black circles) scattered in its vicinity, most of them revealing systematic linear directions. Astroni, Mt. Nuova and Lake Avernus are on the left of the map. 5I. Etna presents many similarities to Vesuvius. This great mountain, the loftiest volcano in Europe, with a height of 10,874 feet, and a diameter of ninety miles at the base, has experienced more vicissitudes even than Vesuvius. Its slopes are sprinkled with over seventy parasitical cones, the largest of which is about ...
290. Donnelly (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... book may well have been chosen for the other subject which it contains-the myth of Atlantis. The Spanish historian, Francisco Lopez de Gomara, was the first to suggest that America might be Atlantis (1552). Francis Bacon, and others, were inclined to share this opinion. In 1689 the French cartographer, Sanson, boldly published a map of America showing how the continent had been parcelled out among the sons of Poseidon. Since then it has been the endeavour of many to seek Atlantis in America. However, at the same time other, and more fanciful, conceptions were advanced# The Swede, Rudbeck, started a sort of nationalist school of Atlantology by saying that ...
