... themes of myth- themes found on every continent, but pointing to an alien sky. As one begins to see the past differently, recent space age discoveries will take on a new significance. Our probes of other planets, such as the Mariner explorations of Mars, the Voyager missions to Jupiter and Saturn, and more recently the Magellan mapping of Venus, have produced many stunning images of the planets and their moons, together with undeniable evidence of sweeping catastrophe within the planetary system. Taken as a whole, these stark profiles of our neighbors challenge traditional theories claiming slow and uneventful planetary evolution. Moreover, a new possibility arises from a reconsideration of the historical material: the ...
422. Loess [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... tend to occur at up-flow sites; sands and heavy soils covering forests tend to come next, while farthest downstream, the lightest material-the loess-tended to be dropped last. This grading phenomenon is not a hard and fast rule because counter-flow currents also moved some materials north from the flood's most southward advance. Examples of this grading action can be seen mapped in the distribution of sand, loess and till in Nebraska. The loess is separated gradually from the sand hill regions and the till or tiny stone accumulation." According to E. W. Hilgard, the same is also true of the Mississippi Valley loess. "In the Sixth Annual Report of the Geological Survey of Minnesota, ...
423. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of what has gone before, and finding that some of today's jargon can be construed in different ways, my assumptions as to meaning and application in the following may need revision. I take it that the tippe-top refers to the kind of reversal in which the globe physically flops over so that Canada etc. would appear at the bottom of maps that traditionally place north at the top; the Sun would then rise in the west; this being brought about by the approach and fly past of a body whose magnetic force repels one or other of the global poles: whereas the slipping shell concerns either a physical collision of a large meteorite/asteroid, or the approach and fly-past ...
424. Solomon and Sheba [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Israelite influence - especially from Genesis, the Psalms and, most interestingly, the writings generally attributed to Solomon (Proverbs, Wisdom, Song of Songs) [14]. From the perspective of Thebes there were several further interesting similarities between these two periods (apart from the prominence of Amon-Ra [or Ptah]) [15]. Map of Israel and Phoenicia (includes Gezer) The Punt Expedition Bimson's analysis of the Punt expedition (and the lack of reference in the Old Testament to Egypt in relation to the Queen of Sheba) constituted his most formidable argument against Velikovsky's thesis. Bimson made a detailed comparison in situ between the Egyptian bas-reliefs and the biblical description and concluded ...
425. The Olympian Rulers [Books] [de Grazia books]
... stone meteoroids, and it may be the only mechanism for supplying the great flood volume in a short period of time. How Durer got this dream is a matter of considerable scientific interest- was it a Jungian archetype, a Velikovskian buried memory, a product of the Renaissance-connected genius of Durer? In 1515, Durer drew the first star map. Jupiter is a god-name that the Romans took from their Etruscan neighbors. "Jove" was an exclamatory form of Jupiter, whence we take Jovea here to denote the period. Zeus was the Greek equivalent. He was Marduk of Babylon; Shiva of the Hindus; Mazda of the Persians; Thor or Donar of the Teutonic peoples ...
426. Neo-Assyrians and Achaemenids – A Test of Beards [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Assur, particularly Assuruballit I (1365-1330), began to drive back the Mitanni and re-establish Assyrian dominance in the region, giving rise to what is generally called the Middle Assyrian period [4 ]. This came to an end around 1100 BC, as Assyria was reduced to its heartland around Assur [5 ]. Fig. 1. Map of Mesopotamia and surrounding regions, showing locations mentioned in the text. Shortly before 900 BC came another Assyrian expansion, heralding the so-called Neo-Assyrian period, when the empire at times stretched from Egypt to Persia [6 ]. Amongst the Neo-Assyrian kings were Assurnasirpal II (883-859), who established Nimrud (Calah) as the new capital ...
427. Mechanics of the Great Deluge [Books]
... at its shortest diameter, and is determined by the location where the bulge of the earth happens to develop for any one epoch. This Axis is always farthest from the center of the bulge. The two points where this axis meets the earth's surface are called the Poles of Figure. They are the North and South Poles of our geographical maps. This axis is not fixed in the same sense that the Axis of Spin is fixed in space. It is a geographical axis changing with each successive epoch. The areas of die earth surrounding the poles become centers for great snow and ice accumulation during each epoch of time-because of constant snowfall and lack of sun heat. At the ...
... we may be able to make certain general inferences about the approximate relative size, or, rather, mass, of former satellites from what remains of the anchorage bollards which they have raised up. Diagram 27. The Anchorage Bollards of the Different Satellites and the Continental Tables Raised by Them If we allow our eye to travel on a physical map of the world from Abyssinia toward the north-west, it is arrested by what is evidently a system of vestigial rift valleys situated, at an obtuse angle, in front of', or to the east of', a mountain system which, though somewhat deformed and partly obliterated, shows a characteristic lozenge form. These rift valleys were ...
429. Discussion Questions From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... , stated in Acts 7:2 ,4 that Abraham "was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran...Then he departed from the land of the Chaldeans, and lived in Haran." Mesopotamia is the Greek name for "the land between the rivers," the Tigris and the Euphrates. A glance at a map shows that Mesopotamia includes both Haran (in northeastern Syria) and Chaldea, although the two are several hundred miles apart. Stephen clearly intended that the land of the Chaldeans- Mesopotamia- be understood as quite a distance from Haran. Judith 5:6-8 however distinguishes Chaldea from Mesopotamia, and states clearly that the ancestors of the Israelites ...
430. Cosmic and Terrestrial Lightning [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Marduk, the Indians of Shiva, the Persians of Mazda. Other gods played with lightning and fire - Hephaistos, Apollo, Hermes, etc. but Jupiter was the overwhelming lightning god. Giambattista Vico believed that lightning was less on Earth in the damp age of Saturn, before Jupiter, because of deluges. It is noteworthy that satellite maps of terrestrial lightning published this year (1981) by Orville and Vonnegut show a dearth of discharges upon oceanic surfaces [5 ]. Satellites have also shown that a realm of lightning bolts a thousand times more powerful than the ordinary terrestrial bolts dominates the upper atmosphere [6 ]. The Etruscans said that their great city of Volsinium, ...
