... historical period, on several occasions (perhaps). Igneous activity and plate movements could have had a similar effect to global warming. The faults may have become hot and melted the ice and therefore some parts of Antarctica could have been dry land for possibly a few hundred years. This is a factor that may explain the enigma of Hapgood's Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, as it seems those parts drawn as free of ice are precisely those parts which global warming will affect. The last major phase of ozone depletion and a drier climate, in the Near and Middle East at least, took place contemporary with Dynasties 20 and 21 in Egypt, i.e . the ...
392. Noah's Ark: I The Ship on Ararat (Part B) [Journals] [Kronos]
... become the most published and widely circulated "ark" photograph ever taken to date. The speculation it caused was enough to capture the interest of the Archaeological Research Foundation in Washington, D. C. In 1960, a team of U.S . archaeologists and Turkish soldiers visited the site. And there it was, a gigantic floor map - although nothing more - of a ship-like formation just as shown in the aerial photograph. It was not, however, made of wood but of compacted natural material. A few members of the team still routed for the ark, suggesting that it might be buried beneath the soil. Some digging took place and a few soil samples ...
... coastline: "Only at the seaside towns where there is a costly sea-wall, is the erosion being held. Even the precautions taken at Hornsea are not effective and the sea comes up frequently to threaten the railway station. It is, however, at Spurn Point, at the mouth of the Humber, where the greatest alteration to the map of England is threatened. The promontory, which carries a lighthouse and several cottages, is held to the mainland now by a strip of land below Kilnsea only as wide as a street." (Daily Mail February 14, 1927.) The writer of the above says he was shown how Yorkshire "is being eaten away, ...

... of Books, June 23, 1966), and developed it in greater detail under the title "Moonshine on Stonehenge" in the September, 1966, issue of Antiquity, a scholarly magazine published in England. Atkinson accused Hawkins of being very inexact with figures and measurements. Instead of making measurements on the spot, Hawkins used two different maps, one of them by Atkinson, which, as the latter stressed, was never made for such a purpose, being intended only to show the approximate positions of the stones and holes, "wholly inappropriate as a basis for accurate measurement." The other map comes from "a now-obsolete Ministry of Works plan from earlier editions of ...

... the sky and celebrate their non-occurrence or their anniversaries as good-evil ambivalent events. Only later and secondarily were calendars applied to pragmatic ends as, for example, saying when to plant seeds or collect tribute. Since the stars appeared dimly and with apparent irregularity, at first and until the Age of Jovea, there was no chance of developing a map of the heavens. The constellations were unknown until about 5000 B.P . Nor, therefore, could the sidereal movements be plotted against time. When, on occasion, observers exclaimed at the movements of the stars, the movements that they referred to were movements of the Earth on which they stood. The ancient late Saturnian analogies ...
396. The Scars of Mars Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... versus the Opposite Hemisphere, a dramatically different type of scenery. [5 ] Scattershotpattern: in the Hemisphere of Craters the general pattern is a scattershot pattern, which is to say the distribution is "patternless" or random. And this is the second primary pattern. The rimming of larger craters by smaller craters: if one examines the map of Mars, grid section by grid section, it may be noticed (perhaps only upon second or third examination) that n exceptional density of small- 2 to 10 mile diameter- craters exists on the rims of a surprising number of larger craters. Kaiser has about a dozen. Secchi with seven rim craters is another example, ...

... Edda." He had studied Old Norse and runes, as well as Latin (for two years). Along with a friend, he enrolled in a third-year German class, with only a German primer and a German novel to help them along. They both managed to get excellent marks. By this time, Holand was also selling maps, in wholesale lots, for business advertising. During these travels, selling books and maps, he started collecting material from the older Norwegian settlers for use in his first book; the book was well received as it was published in Norwegian. (26) Holand worked as an author, lecturer, and, ultimately, a researcher ...

... back in geological time as on the European Continent; and it even seems that America, really the Old World, geologically, will soon prove to be the birthplace of the earliest race of man. One of the late and important discoveries is that by Mr. E. L. Berthoud, which is given in full, with a map, in the Proceedings of the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences for 1872, p. 46. Mr. Berthoud there reports the discovery of ancient fireplaces, rude stone monuments, and implements of stone in great number and variety, in several places along Crow Creek, in Colorado, and also on several other rivers in the vicinity. These ...
