... an anti-climax. After producing counter-arguments to many Atlantean scenarios he eventually settles for the old chestnut of Santorini. There is certainly no hint here to back up the rumour of a Russian expedition supposedly finding evidence of ruins in the Atlantic. The Flood mythology is eventually dismissed as due to local phenomena, which is a lame finish to discussions and maps showing how widespread and similar are the flood myths from around the world. Strangely, Rezanov follows this immediately with an interesting description of the history of the Mediterranean basin, with its drying up and subsequent catastrophic reflooding about 10Myrs ago. He refers to this as a deluge, though perhaps the translation is a little misleading, but hastens ...
332. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Study Group took place on Saturday 5th March 1988 at the home of Clarice Morgan in south-east London, attracting the largest attendance for some years. A controversial talk was given by Tom Chetwynd titled "Who were the Hebrew-speaking people, when did they flourish, and what was the greatest extent of their power?" With the aid of a map and a chronological chart, he developed the hypothesis which he proposed in a letter to Workshop in January 1980 (vol.2 , no.3 ), of a longer than conventional Biblical chronology. Despite some interesting ideas and associations, the general opinion was that Chetwynd had not made his case; although apparently answering some problems, ...
333. Long Term Violation of Uniformitarianism Demonstrated by Fossil Discoveries in Polar Regions [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the basic criticisms made of Earth in Upheaval, which cited remains of palm trees in northern Greenland, is thus found to be invalid. Forests in Antarctica from the Eocene to the Pliocene During the 1980's, scientific papers began to appear, providing details on a select class of fossil discoveries in Antarctic latitudes about 50 MYA. The National Geographic map showed the Eocene paleolatitude of Antarctica as only a few hundred miles closer to the equator than today's continent, yet the Eocene forests consisted of southern beechwood similar to the trees that grow nowadays in Tasmania and southern Chile. If we grant the tenents of uniformitarianism, why would 75 degrees south latitude support at one time a productive temperate forest ...
334. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... dropped the depth of the ocean to about 3.1 km at stage (b ). The average depth of ice on the continent would then have been about 2 km, averaged over the whole continent, but about five times greater averaged over only 20% corresponding to the shields of the Wisconsin Ice Age, easily determined by relief maps. This process of ice accumulation would have been slow enough that isostasy and metastasy would have maintained from stage (a ) to stage (b ). However, for this to happen, an equal mass of basalt, a mixture of mantle and granitic crust, would have been transferred to the basalt layer to build it from about ...
... one understands them properly as machines which were meant to describe the motions of nested spheres. Appendix 18 Compare Popol Vuh: The Sacred Book of the Ancient Quiche Maya (Eng. trans. by D. Goetz and S. Morley, [1951], pp. 90-102). As concerns the escape of Zipacna, compare the distribution map, given by Frobenius (Paideuma I [1938], p. 8, map 3-"Der Lausbub im Hauspfeiler") . For the whole motif of pillars and houses pulled down, compare Eduard Stucken, Astralmythen (1896-1907): pp. 73f. for the death of Nebrod, according to Cedrenusof Cain, according to ...
... rather than in psychology, but as yet she had no clue. By the time of our meeting she had shifted her attention to Polynesia, and soon she hit pay dirt. As she looked into the archaeological remains on many islands, a clue was given to her. The moment of grace came when, on looking (on a map) at two little islands, mere flyspecks on the waters of the Pacific, she found that a strange accumulation of maraes or cult places could be explained only one way: they, and only they, were both exactly sited on two neat celestial coordinates: the Tropics of Cancer and of Capricorn. Now let Dechend take over the ...
337. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... p. 7) Delegates at The Society's Conference 2002' were a little disconcerted when Dr Eugen Gabowitsch cast doubts upon the ancient existence of the Great Wall of China, but two explorers attempting to walk along its length found that only the section north of Beijing approached the average tourist's picture of it; the rest, although clearly depicted on maps, seems to have largely disappeard. Thanks are due to Gordon Jonas, David Livingstone, Mike Rowland and Sjef van Asten for sending in material for Monitor. Please keep it coming and send to the Postal Editorial Address (see p.1 ) ...
338. The Birth Of The Ice Age Theory. Ch.4 Ice (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... of mammoths in Siberia, the flesh of which is still edible: these animals, he thought, had been killed at the beginning of the Ice Age.5 With the renewal of igneous activity, the ice cover melted, great floods ensued, the mountains and lakes in Switzerland and in many other places were formed, and the relief map of the world was generally changed. It is often said that Agassiz added from half a million to a million years to the recent history of the world by inserting the Great Ice Age between the Tertiary, or the age of mammals, and the Recent (comprising the Late Stone Age and historical times). It should be borne ...
339. Introduction (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... down to the last king of the Davidian Dynasty. Having exposed here the main theme of this volume, let me express the hope that every thoughtful reader will postpone judgment until he has considered the evidence in all its details, which range from ancient texts in cuneiform, hieroglyphics, and Hebrew, to autobiographies and portraits, to ancient topographical maps and plans of battle, to archaeological stratigraphy. The centuries both preceding and following(2 )the decades described in this volume constitute together, in the reconstruction of ancient history, a monolithic oneness. 1. The Seti I of the conventional chronology but Seti II of this construction. 2. The centuries preceding are the subject of ...
