... . This brief sketch of archaic theory indicates- to repeat- that geography in our sense was never meant, but a cosmography of the kind needed even now by navigators. Ptolemy, the great geographer of antiquity, had been thinking of nothing else. His Geography is a set of coordinates drawn from the skies, and transferred onto an uncouth outline map of our globe, with a catalogue of earthly distances added on by sailors and travelers to pinpoint, or confirm, the positions of countries around the Mediterranean world. It was an uncouth outline map, for it covered only a few countries known around the Mediterranean region. Nothing was shown beyond the latitude 160 south of the equator and ...

... 1000 years before his "Exodus" camp there. Mummified Forest?sources: New Scientist 25.12.86/1 .1 .87, p.25: Time 22.9 .86, p.64: Daily Telegraph 19.9 .86 Jack McMillan, a geologist with the Geological Survey of Canada, has mapped a 2.5 hectare site on Axel Heiberg Island in the remote Canadian High Arctic, less than 700 miles from the North Pole. This is one of the largest and most impressive fossil forest sites in the Arctic: about 200 perfectly preserved tree stumps have been revealed by erosion of the overlying rock. The vegetation appears to have ...

... L." in the Journal of Ecology this flowering plant only grows in one small area slightly above the Arctic Circle but over 99 percent of its habitat is south of the Arctic Circle. See Figure below.175 The range is in black. Flowering E. Nigrum does not reach the Spitsbergen Islands in the upper right area of the map. Unless one is blind this flowering and berry forming plant grows almost exclusively in the "Temperate zone." The Arctic Circle is at 66.5 degrees north latitude, and Bell and Tallis inform us that its habitat is: "Common on mountains and moorlands throughout Scotland, Wales, northern England and western parts of Ireland; ...
355. Scientific Dating Methods In Ruins [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... date from this time. On the basis of this information, Professor Tushinsky believe[d ] that the glaciers of the Arctic and mountainous regions of the Soviet Union spread and developed in the cold winters of the late [15th] century. (21) Thus, radiocarbon dating contradicts ice core dating methods. In my discussion of ancient maps, I have shown that radiocarbon dating of algal remains in terminal moraines of Antarctica is only 6,000 years old. (22) This contradicts the ice core data, stating that this ice sheet has been in place for many tens of thousands of years. Once again, dates that do not support the establishment's chronology are ignored ...

... Princeton, 1983), de Grazia's "Ice Fields of the Earth" (Ch. 15) forsakes serious criticism in favor of a self-serving advocacy of catastrophism unconstrained by evidence; and he is so caught up in the excitement of speculation that he confuses temperature with latent heat (p . 212)* and talks about the Piri Reis map as though it were the Oronteus Finaeous map (p . 216). [* De Grazia has obviously borrowed heavily and uncritically from Tyndall's Heat Considered as a Mode of Motion (New York, 1869). Compare Tyndall: "[ T ]he latent heat of aqueous vapour, at the temperature of its production in the tropics ...
357. A Failed Excursion to the Caves of Aquitaine [Books] [de Grazia books]
... America where ice lies deposited between layers of lava and schist, and melts very gradually over thousands of years. Why are none of the caves of Aquitaine ice caves'? The ice was near. But I know nobody - neither expert guides nor "congressistes," as the group of us are called. I have found no geological map of the area: how can I ask questions, or ask the all-important critical follow-up questions without sub-surface and contour information? I have not read enough about the caves to be more than a sponge of information, too little to be a cross-examiner. The telephone rings. It is Halloway, just arrived. He is pleased to know ...

... the Age of Jovea. The Antarctic Sea was opened up at the south polar forking fracture, and the Antarctic continent, denuded of ice, was pushed southwards to center upon the new south polar axis. It, too, received a new ice cap beginning in the later "Age of Jupiter," but, to follow Hapgood's "Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings," possibly not until exploration, after a period of civilization, when maps of the coastline were drawn to a considerable degree of accuracy. Some 450 specimens were recovered at Coalsack Bluff, Central Transantarctic Mountains. Found there were terrestrial amphibians and reptiles of lower Triassic, typical of the same age in Africa ...

With these great canals in operation over millennia, we are expected to believe that such immense irrigation projects did not render the land sterile with salt through all this time. In fact, there exists a map of the ancient farming community, supposedly dated to 1300 BC: A 1300 BC map on a clay tablet .. . depicts farmland outside the Mesopotamian city of Nippur.

... electric fields due to outbursts from the Sun's magnetic field as energy is discharged during solar flares. Studies of white dwarves' indicate that when our Sun eventually contracts it may develop a powerful magnetic field which would induce huge electrical fields in its encircling planets, with currents flowing between Sun and planets. The universe grows ever more electrical. Auroral maps New Scientist 30.5 .98, p. 16 It was long ago suggested that the patterns of the Northern Lights sometimes mirror the coastlines of northern land masses but this was rejected until recently. New evidence shows that they can indeed trace the pattern of the land below, particularly when an east-west arc hits the Greenland coast, ...
