... reasonably complete . Beyond it, many of the stars located along the cylinder do not have published parallaxes and so they cannot be located in time; they cannot be used in the analysis. The region of space which includes those stars which now occupy the space once passed through by the Sun on its galactic voyage is represented on a star map by a cone centered on the solar antapex [25]. The base of the cone in the present includes stars over one half of the sky. As time progresses backwards the frustum of the cone projected upon the sky diminishes in area (Figure 3). The frustum of the cone 3 500 years ago is a circle 76 ...

... . They associate this period with a layer of volcanic ash. Other evidence indicates a period of unusual warmth only 400,000 years ago, but one researcher suggests that there have been several fast and unpredictable collapses which did not even require a warm period. The most recent is less than 200,000 years ago. Perhaps those ancient map makers aren't so incredible after all. Recent sudden climate changes New Scientist 13.3 .93, p. 17 Ocean floor sediment cores indicate that temperatures can rise or fall by 5 degrees in only 40 years, but a recent Greenland ice core shows flips in only 3 years since the last ice age. One researcher reports that ...

... miles apart showed they once had the same animals. In 1958, New Zealander Warren Carey proposed that the problem might be solved by considering that the Earth has been expanding but this would be a one way system and some evidence indicates that continental masses have sometimes drifted together and then later drifted apart. In the mid 1950s, a researcher mapping magnetism in deep sea sediments found a pattern of alternate + ve and -ve stripes which matched similar patterns off the west coast of North America. He was told not to publish his work and there was no attempt to explain these curious facts. 5 years later other workers concluded that if the mid-Atlantic ridge was actively producing new material and ...

... scenery.(5 ) 2. SCATTERSHOT PATTERN: In the Hemisphere of Craters, like on Mercury, the pattern is a scattershot pattern, which is to say that the pattern is "patternless" or random. And this is the second primary pattern. 3. THE RIMMING OF LARGER CRATERS BY SMALLER CRATERS: If one examines the map of Mars, grid section by grid section, at first it may escape observation, but on a second or third examination, it may be noticed that there is an exceptional density of small, 2-10 mile in diameter craters, on the rims of a surprising number of the larger craters. Kaiser has about a dozen. Secchi with ...
385. Tunguska-Type Impacts Over the Pacific Basin Around the Year 1178 AD [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 1260, after the Alamut fortress, the stronghold of the Ismailites (the Assassins), was taken in 1256. (The fortress had one of the greatest libraries of medieval times; most books were burnt but Al Juvaini personally selected a number to be saved. Which ones.....? Maybe here is the origin of maps like the Piri Reis map and of esoteric books upon which Blavatsky claimed her ideas.) In his history Al Juvaini states that at about the time of the fall of Alamut it had again become possible to grow apple trees in Mongolia which, he explicitly notes, had not been possible for two generations. This is a definitive indication ...
386. Catastrophism and the Mammoths - I (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Although reversing Earth's rotation is as economical as a tippe top inversion, a reversed rotation is much less plausible on dynamical grounds and no physical evidence exists for Earth's rotation ever having stopped. Furthermore, Senmut's ceiling is probably a red herring in these discussions and therefore irrelevant to cosmic catastrophism. Velikovsky accepted Pogo's 1930 opinion that the ceiling is a map of the sky. However, by 1932 Pogo interpreted the panels as a calendar and, later, as a diagonal star clock - discounting them as a map of the sky. Pogo based his later interpretations upon a fuller knowledge of Egyptian astronomical motifs in a variety of contexts. Velikovsky never commented upon the evolution of Pogo's thinking which ...

... , has no explanation of the excess dust levels of that time. Ellenberger may perhaps be correct in stating that Hapgood's evidence has become out of date, for the most part. However, his original starting point which led him along the path to proposing pole shifts as a mechanism for producing ice ages was the evidence from the ancient portolano maps. This evidence still stands. It has recently been taken up by John Weihaupt of the University of Colorado (EOS 65:493; 65:1226). Weihaupt, like Hapgood before him, believes Antarctica was mapped by man at a very early time, possibly in the Holocene. The evidence suggests that the pole was in ...

... erupted; stone and wood construction were fully elaborated. The science of geometry governed temples, roadways, and navigation. The great seas of Lunaria could be crossed for the first time and international commerce flourished. Carli insisted that before the Deluge of Saturn, the inhabitants of the globe might pass readily between Africa, Europe, and America. Maps were probably drawn [22], considering that the so-called "Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings" which came to light recently show Antarctic shores as they are today beneath the ice; the area has not been free of ice since the colder climates of Jovea arrived around 6000 years ago. The differentiation of races is a result of ...

... with the advice of the court astronomers gave to the planet Venus the name of Ishtar or Astarte or another such name. In following this learned and authoritative source, the Greeks applied the old name Aphrodite to the planet. Once to the Europeans, the Western hemisphere had no names - or rather, numerous names. A geographer published a map drawn by an Italian navigator, Amerigo Vespucci. It was the map of Amerigo, describing a vast land. What was the land called? Not the "country of Amerigo" but, eventually "Amerigo," Latin masculine Americus, for a feminine country becomes "America." THE ROMAN VENUS We ought not settle the Aphrodite ...
390. Catastrophism and Evolution [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , such as the turtles and crocodiles, could hibernate to avoid the adverse conditions; perhaps the dinosaurs did not practise hibernation. There is now increasing evidence, from sites with anomalous amounts of the noble metal iridium, that the mass extinctions at the end of the Cretaceous and Eocene were caused by meteorite (or cometary) impact. The map shows the major locations of the iridium finds. Fresh water aquatics survived, as they survived the Permian-Triassic extinctions, possibly because the base of their food chain was decaying vegetation, of which there might have been a plentiful supply. In the oceans, the situation was more complex. The calcareous plankton largely died out, perhaps poisoned by ...
