... ' .3 Gauss, Mercury's .003 Gauss, and a typical sunspot at 3000 Gauss. Lodestones were ancient curiosities. By the late Middle Ages, compasses were in use, especially on sailing ships, in Northern Europe. Terrestrial magnetism was first proved by the English physician, William Gilbert, in 1600. The first mathematical representation or map of the terrestrial magnetic field was made by the German mathematician, Karl Gauss, in 1838. The first report of paleo-magnetic polarity reversals was made by the French geologist, P. L. Mercanton, in 1927, after his analysis of the magnetism in reversed sequence of basaltic outflows. Mercanton thereupon predicted that similar reversals of polarity would ...
432. Science Frontiers 1977-1978 [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... a period of gradual faunal replacement rather than sudden, simultaneous extinction of life forms. (Olsen, Paul E., and Galton, Peter M.; "Triassic-Jurassic Tetrapod Extinctions: Are They Real?", Science, 197:983-985, 1977). IMMENSE CIRCULAR TERRESTRIAL STRUCTURES OF GREAT AGE Saul has analyzed many topographic and geological maps and discovered faint circular terrestrial patterns that have mostly not been described before. These circles measure between 7 and 700 kilometers in diameter and are nearly perfect geometrical figures. The rims of the circles are generally raised and characterized by fracturing and brecciation. These structures can be traced in many geological environments and rocks of all ages. They control ...
433. Homer in the Baltic [Journals] [Aeon]
... in their lost homeland was preserved and handed down to the following ages. This key allows us to easily open many doors that have been shut tight until now, as well as to consider the age-old question of the Indo-European diaspora and the origin of the Greek civilization from a new perspective. * * * * * * * Greece (Map by John Green.) Ever since ancient times, Homeric geography has given rise to problems and uncertainty. The conformity of towns, countries, and islands which the poet often describes with a wealth of detail, with traditional Mediterranean places is usually only partial or even nonexistent. We find various cases in Strabo (Greek geographer and historian ...
434. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Great King Hartapus seated on a throne. There are three Hittite hieroglyphic texts associated with it: one on the picture itself and two more close by. The large projecting crag on which this material is inscribed is located on a hill side at a site known as Kizildag in south-central Turkey, about half way between Ankara and Cyprus on a map. The site is described by Bittel in J. Canby et al (eds), Ancient Anatolia..., Wisconsin, 1986, pp. 103-111; and the longer text is translated by Hawkins in H. Otten et al (eds), Hittite and Other Anatolian .. ., Ankara, 1992, pp. ...
435. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology [Articles]
... the last 25 centuries, we then run off to Egypt and look at temples and say, that temple isn't quite pointing east, maybe east used to be there, or maybe a certain star used to rise in front of that temple. Of course that star doesn't rise in front of it any more, but by running the star maps back, making all the proper corrections, we can say that in the year 4335, a particular star rose in front of the door of some magnificent edifice in Egypt, therefore that determines absolutely and unambiguously the date of the temple's construction. If you have read Lockyer's Dawn of Astronomy, there are 300 pages of that. So ...
... highly probable that they would have encountered one of the Martian satellites and left grooves that generally run parallel to each other and leave craterlets all along these grooves. In Astronomy, for Jan. 1977, is just such evidence: " Viking has discovered another mystery in the most unexpected placeon one of the two small Martian moons. Mariner 9's mapping of both Phobos (12 x 14 x 17 miles, or 20 x 23 x 28 kilometers) and Deimos (6 x 7 x 10 miles or 10 x 12 x 16 kilometers) showed many craters and left most investigators with the impression that they were merely rocky chunks that bore the scars of meteorite impacts. There was a ...
437. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the retrograde calculation of the position of the equinox points in past epochs. By comparing ancient astronomical positions of the equinox points relative to the fixed stars with the modern astronomical calculations, a date can be arrived at for those observations. Looking at ancient temples it is often found that they are not aligned to the East. So the star maps are run backwards, correcting for the Earth's wobble, and we can say that in the year 4335 BC a particular star rose in front of some magnificent edifice in Egypt, therefore the date of the temple's construction is determined, absolutely and unambiguously. In Lockyer's Dawn of Astronomy there are 300 pages of that sort of thing. Yet ...
438. The Advancement of Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... with regard to the astronomical descriptions. Jowett does convey some of the information as to sky reversals etc., but I believe his translation more modified by his own notions. Bury was more direct. My head still swims from my reading of the S.I .S . issue you gave me. The discussions of the Senmut sky maps are captivating but whether from my lack of knowledge or ability, the presentations are most difficult for me to follow. (Is it a British style of writing or is it me?) The electricity paper by Eric Crew is good; I intend to look up his other papers. Some months after Dachille died, Deg suggested to ...

... to the area in his photograph (looking E. from Masada) as being recently uncovered as the Dead Sea retreats'. This part of the Lisan Formation has in fact been exposed for a long time (unless one is thinking on a geological time scale). Certainly it was dry land by the time F. De Saulcy published maps of the area in 1854. Geological evidence suggests it has been exposed for as long as 3,000 years. John Bimson, Bristol and David Ellis, London The Machrie Moor Stone Circles Eric Aitchison, looking for an explanation for the multiplicity of stone circles, speculates that the five or six stone circles in the same area and ...

... that clings stubbornly to the east bank of the river. In due course we clambered on board to share our somewhat apprehensive passage across the water with the local fellaheen and a rather disgruntled donkey. The site of el-Hiba viewed from the south The mudbrick wall of Menkheperre The temple of "Amun of the Crag" built by Shoshenq I Topographic map of el-Hiba (after Wenke, 1980) The ferryman was not of a mind to take us directly to a mooring place alongside the tell, so we were bundled out of the crowded vessel about half a mile to the south. Crossing the rich green fields of a local farm we eventually reached the desert edge and gained our first ...
