... navigators sail very far on a flat ocean that spilled over at the arches of heaven? Kosmas Indicopleustes might have known better, for he actually reached Equatorial waters. But the image so dominated that Columbus' men actually feared the black horizon' that they would tumble into as they continued to sail .. . to the edge of the map."25 In fact, while writing this paper there appeared a television documentary on the History Channel, on Tuesday, November 23, 1999 titled "Ancient Inventions" in which the narrator claimed Aristotle's view of the universe was lost for 2000 years before the world would accept the idea that the earth was round. Former Librarian of ...
372. In the Days of Seti I and Ramses II [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Ramoth. John Bimson believed that Yarumtu was actually the famous city of Ramoth-Gilead, whose probable site is Tell Ramith, about 25 miles west of Pella, in the mountains of Gilead. According to Bimson, "Such a location for Mount Yarumtu is very feasible from a strategic point of view."(18) A glance at a map of the region will show that "westward offensives launched from Ramoth-gilead would bring the attackers directly to Beth- shan, control of which would provide access to the Plain of Esdraelon and thence to the coastal strip."(19) All in all, the two stela of Beth-Shan make it clear that in northern Palestine Seti I was ...
373. Nova of Super Uranus and Ejection of the Moon [Books] [de Grazia books]
... fractured into the complex ocean-ridge and land-rift system viewed today (see Figure 29). The separated blocks were electrically repelled [90] and squeezed apart. They rafted speedily towards the Moon basin. Lava welled up from below the fissures and widened them. Thousands of new volcanoes were instantly activated. The constellation of fractures exhibited in the world map of Figure 29 probably occurred within a day's time (de Grazia, 1981; Manson, ch. 4). Tectonic plate theory today relegates the fractures to a remote unspecified era, with ocean basins always present. It invokes various mechanisms to accomplish over great stretches of time complex slow movements of a number of plates carrying continental crust ...
374. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... " that a meteorite was responsible for the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary event still in vogue, there is news of yet another meteorite theory. Klaus Schultz of the McDonnell Centre for Space Sciences at Washington University St Louis, John Klasner a geophysicist at Western Illinois University, and William Cannon a geologist with the US Geological Surrey have been studying a "gravity map" of North America. This they have interpreted as showing evidence of a huge meteorite impact in Canada (" .. . a huge bull's-eye ripple effect with the centre in the middle of Canada") which would have been responsible for producing the rock formations of North America. There is evidence of deep underground impact rings stretching for ...
375. The Afar Triangle As the Nether Reaches of Eden and Babel [Journals] [Aeon]
... ridge in the Red Sea and why the two troughs are now separated. That question will have to await our further explorations in the southern half of the depression. (page 141) This matter will come up again shortly. As with so many other uniformitarian problems, the solution will require rethinking, not reexploring. A Look at the Map Perhaps the best way to appreciate the status of the Afar Triangle is to look at a relief map of Africa and Arabia. One can then see at a glance the high Ethiopian escarpment, the relatively low, though rugged, Afar Triangle, and, across the water, the high mountains of southwest Arabia. Those Arabian mountains do ...
376. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... company E.O ., on the history of Israel in the Old Testament period. It deals with the whole span of Old Testament history at a popular, introductory level, placing Biblical events against their Ancient Near Eastern background and correlating them with archaeological discoveries. It is beautifully produced and lavishly illustrated in colour throughout it 190 pages with maps, drawings and excellent photographs. What makes the book of interest to SIS readers is that in relating Biblical history to the history of Egypt, it adopts Velikovsky's revised chronology as set out in AGES IN CHAOS. It does this with apparent confidence that Velikovsky's dating is the correct one, and hence makes minimal reference to conventional views. ...
377. Natural Catastrophes During Bronze Age Civilisations [Journals] [Aeon]
... other bonds, with which the sacrificial victims had originally been fettered to trees. The Collapse of Ancient Societies by Great Earthquakes Amos Nur (Stanford University) Amos Nur explained, as he had already done in the film that was projected the previous evening, that all the destructions in the Middle East were due to earthquakes. He showed numerous maps of the area displaying the distribution of earthquakes in recent times. That which took place in 1202 AD, he claimed, was the most destructive in human history, having been responsible for 1.2 million deaths. According to Nur, these maps indicate that no sites outside this earthquake region of the Middle East were ever destroyed in ...

... and procreation in the next. Egypt - Fact and Fiction New Scientist 21.4 .01, p. 17, Jewish Chronicle 1.6 .01, p. 29, The Sunday Times 11.3 .01 & 22.10.00, The Sunday Times Magazine 25.3 .01 Underwater surveys have produced a map of the long-drowned ancient Alexandria, revealing it as totally different from what was assumed previously. The remains of a Jewish temple, however, found on Elephantine Island near the Aswan dam, fulfil expectations aroused by descriptions on a cache of papyrus documents. In 525BC, a colony of Jewish mercenaries lived there, helping defend Egypt from its ...
379. The Molecular Revolution [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... direct information about the actual structure of some sections of genes, e.g . by the use of restriction enzymes [11-14], each of which recognises a specific short sequence of bases and cleaves the DNA at that site. This produces a series of fragments, which can be sorted out according to length to provide a "restriction map" of the genetic material. If two species have DNA molecules which differ in structure at one or more of the sites, then there will be differences in the restriction fragments produced. The more sites that differ, the more different will be the restriction maps obtained. All of these methods have given much the same information about hominoid ...
380. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Age was the Deluge, and placing it in the 4th millennium at 3450 BC then we obtain a figure of 2000 years for the time Velikovsky would have placed between the Deluge and the Exodus. Pick up a copy of Kummel's History of the Earth and glance at pp.447-455 and you will see the fallacy of this time-gap. The maps on these pages clearly show that during the Tertiary Age Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor were in a state of complete ruin, being mostly under water. Note in particular the Great Tethys or Central Sea which stretches 9000 miles from Spain to India and is up to 2000 miles wide. On p.453 the map for the ...
