... should at the moment be 23 27' north, is the limit of the vertically-shining Sun. Going back to the time of Eratosthenes, we should be talking about a figure around there (23 43'). Unfortunately, all of these are in positions more like 24 , and when I say 24 , I mean according to my map, but it's not a very large-scale map and may be a little bit out, it's 23 57' for Philae, Elephantine Island is a little further north, Syene itself is 24 . But if the Sun really did shine vertically downwards into that well in that position, then we are dealing with an even bigger discrepancy. It ...
362. Thoth Vol III, No. 13: Oct 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... "Sulfuric acid occurs in nature, but it isn't plentiful. You're not likely to find sulfuric acid on Earth's beaches, but on Europa, it covers large portions of the surface." The new findings from NASA's Galileo spacecraft are reported in the Oct. 1 issue of the journal Science. Carlson, the principal investigator for the near-infrared mapping spectrometer aboard Galileo, is the lead author of the paper. Although there is no evidence of life on Europa, pictures and other scientific information gathered by the Galileo spacecraft indicate a liquid ocean may lie beneath Europa's icy crust. Water is one key ingredient essential for life. At first, Carlson thought the spectrometer's findings of sulfuric acid ...
363. Expansion and Contraction [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . He shows that "the separation and movements of the continents in the last 150 million years cannot be explained by continental drift on the surface of the present-sized earth."[5 ] This he does topographically. Following the Bullard and Hurley reconstruction of the supposed original supercontinent before its continental elements drifted apart, he retrojects the present continental map as it must have drifted and shows that the present arrangement could not have emerged from the reconstruction. In order for the supercontinent of one time to fit the map of the continents of today, the continents of today would have to come from a smaller globe. "It seems highly improbable that the area enclosed by the perimeter [ ...
364. Objections to the Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... hand conventional chronology identifies Shishak with Sheshonk, the 22nd Dynasty pharaoh contemporary with Rehoboam on the conventional chronology. What is wrong with that? The names agree very well. Velikovksy says that Sheshonk's invasion was centred on northern Israel, not Judah, unlike Shishak's, as an argument against their identification. However, if you will look at the maps in the distinguished Israeli archaeologist Yehanan Aharoni's book The Land of the Bible , pages 142 and 284, you will see that, in fact, Sheshonk's invasion of Palestine was at any rate more centred on Judah than was Thutmose III's! Velikovsky identifies the city Kadesh, mentioned in Thutmose III's list of captured cities, with Jerusalem. But ...

366. Thoth Vol III, No. 9: June 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... I were disrespectful enough to suggest that smashing two lumps of gas together was the worst possible way to make stars. It just heated up the gas and generally caused condensations to dissipate." [Seeing Red, p. 105]. Arp's discoveries are the most important in astronomy since the invention of the telescope. He has developed a map of the visible universe that makes good sense and shows once again the penchant for Nature to repeat patterns. This is a feature also of the Electric Universe model, where electrical discharges in plasma exhibit an organizing principle that shapes galaxies. When combined with the plasma focus phenomenon we have an explanation for active galactic nuclei and the birth of ...
367. Megalithic Lunar Observatories -- A Critique [Journals] [Kronos]
... under conditions of utmost atmospheric clarity. Mt. Leinster (2610 ft.) and Black Mount (1975 ft.), on the clearest of days, could both be conceivably visible from Parc-y-Meirw. But inspection of Thom's horizon profile shows A well below these two heights, so A would be invisible. An inspection of the most accurate map I could find of the area- Irish Ordnance Survey (Suirbheireacht Ordanais) Scale 1/2 ins. to a mile, No. 19- shows the small hill A falling steeply into the river Clody. Its altitude as read from this map is much less than 1850 ft. Unless refraction effects in the Megalithic era were somehow ...

... . Tectonics anyone? Slushy ice at Neptune? I don't think so. Wal Thornhill walt@netinfo.com.au- ELECTRIC UNIVERSE PREDICTIONS FOR SPACE PROBE By Wal Thornhill Planned for launch in 2003, the Deep Space 4/Champollion spacecraft will rendezvous with Comet Tempel 1 in 2005 and spend several months orbiting the comet nucleus making high-resolution maps of its surface. The spacecraft will deploy a lander with a 1-meter-long (3 .3-foot)drill to collect samples that will be analyzed on-site; an attempt will be made to return a sample to Earth in 2010. The project is part of the Deep Space mission series under the NASA/JPL New Millennium Program, designed to ...

... on Earth. The interruptions of absorbing the children were spaced out, perhaps half a dozen marking disasters over the 2 300 years that followed the lunar period. Meanwhile life on Earth may have been easy in most places. There was no ice age. Travel by boat was easy, for the breezes were mild. Antarctic may have been mapped in this age, since an ancient map showing its outline beneath the present snow has been found and since no later age would have been able to produce it because the coastline was invisible (Hapgood, 1966). The northernmost and southernmost regions were quite habitable, even tropical. The continental shelves and slopes had become livable. There ...
370. The Causal Source for the Climatic Changes at 2300 BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , found in East Asia and along the Pacific coast of North America. The Mediterranean countries and the Near East also received precipitation amounts much above normal. In the southern hemisphere, Australia in particular experienced serious rainfall deficiencies for the year. ' Another recent report describes a 25-year study of sea ice observations using satellite imagery, correlated with weather maps, with the objective of determining interrelations between the Arctic sea ice and the general circulation of the atmosphere. Variations in sea ice coverage definitely change the circulation, including meridional flow. There is general agreement that changing the Arctic sea ice would change climatic conditions far from the Arctic region [42]. Specific Conditions at 2300BC Favouring Sea ...
