... very idiosyncratic translation and a number of unlikely interpretations can this text be seen as an account of events related to the exodus. More importantly, the evidence from Crete and from a number of deep-sea cores from the eastern Mediterranean makes it extremely unlikely that the eruption of Thera could have had the effects in Egypt ascribed by this theory. A map of the amount of ash fall at various places, based on a series of cores taken from the Mediterranean sea bottoms, shows that the Thera material did extend in an east-southeast direction, toward Egypt (Figure 1). [12] It should be noted, however, that the amounts of ash in the cores approached zero at ...
472. The Cyclic Nature of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... "Fear" and "Panic"- the legendary steeds which pulled the cosmic chariot of Mars across the nocturnal constellations. These days of remembrance or anniversaries were not festive occasions, but rather times of dread and supplication to the celestial deities. March 21 among the ancients was widely considered to be the starting point in the zodiac, or map of the constellations. March 21 was the first point of Aries. It is also supportive of our model that March 21, the vernal equinox (first day of spring) was an important cosmic date as well, October 25, incidentally, among the ancient Celts was their New Year's Day, also one of cosmic dread, of ...
... . Bur had three sons, Odin, Vili, and Ye, who slew the giant Ymir, whereby the entire race of "Frost Giants" was drowned in his blood except for a single survivor who saved hirmelf and his household by going aboard his barque, a legend reminiscent of Noah and his Ark. The sons of Bur then mapped out the universe, set a dwarf at each of the four quarters and assigned to every star and celestial body its appropriate motion. This is a reference to the recanstructipn of the calendar as a result of the Flood, the catastrophe having changed the earth's axis and added to the length of its orbit, in which Odin represents the ...
474. Avaris and the Land of Goshen [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... with its metropolis Pha Cusa. Now the name Cusa, according to Champollion, Brugsch, and Ebers was the Coptic KWS' "Now we have the exact transcript of the Coptic KWS in the name of Kes..." 13 The same name of Pha Cusa occurs as Pha Guse in the Geographer of Ravenna' and in the map of Peutinger it was one of the episcopal sees of that same area. As final confirmation, Strabo said that the canal which runs from the Nile to the sea (The Red Sea), branched off from the river at Pha Cusa. It is a fact that PerSoped or Pa-Kes/Pha-Cusa lies almost at the junction of the ...
475. The Cambridge Conference [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the vast geological time scale depends upon radiometric dating which is probably suspect in its assumptions. World wide accounts of a catastrophic flood, if considered as actual historical accounts, could explain much of the geological evidence. A catastrophic model of causation suggests a massive impact north of Madagascar. Accounts in the Bible would seem to indicate this and ancient maps confirm that continental movements have taken place within historical times. Considering the evidence of the ice-ages, climatic change and the evidence for violent earthquake activity in the Early Bronze Age, Steven concluded that the early Cambrian period should be considered to be only thousands, not millions, of years ago, at the time of the Flood, the ...
476. The Fracture Zones In Deep Polar Ice Cores [Journals] [Aeon]
... Science, 15 May 1981, page 814. Someone reading either the 1977 paper or the 1981 paper- and not the 1975 paper- would take the Holocene to be a time of no significant activity. That is obviously what Thompson wants to be the case, but the available data indicate otherwise. What Thompson has done here is like mapping the eastern and western coasts of Florida as far south as Cape Canaveral and Tampa Bay, respectively, and then letting a straight line between those two points represent the southern coast of Florida! [See my paper on "The Greenland Ice Cores," Kronos XII:2 (Spring, 1987), pages 54-55.] Thompson ...
477. Magnetism and Axial Tilts [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of tiny compasses, pointed towards the magnetic pole. If for one set of rocks the compasses point north and for another adjoining set they point south, it is conceivable that the magnetic field had reversed itself on an occasion between the melting and hardening of the first set of rocks and the melting and hardening of the second set. Magnetic mapping of rocks is almost entirely of this century but has burgeoned swiftly and, some say, chaotically. Persuaded that they can tell the ages of rocks by radiometry, explorers have used time as a reliable indicator of the change in the magnetic field of the Earth. Since the rocks of the world have exhibited a bewildering variety of magnetic ...
478. Talk by Bob Porter on Middle Assyrian History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... This is a puzzling gap since by no means all of this period was a Dark Age - in fact it includes a peak of the Neo Assyrian period. The only explanation seems to be that perishable writing materials came into general use. Returning to archive M12 [Pedersen 1985 pp. 113-7], the one illustrated and marked on the map, this consisted of 60 tablets in a pot and a few other broken pieces found in the same house. The Eponyms included some that were definitely attributable to Tukulti-Ninurta including the king himself. Pedersen showed [pp. 114-5] that one family, that figured in the texts, was of roughly Tukulti-Ninurta's time. This family was that ...
479. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... yet available and there is no short cut to such a revolution. Potentially perhaps the most interesting paper was that of Dr Baity herself. Aerial photographs of the Arabian peninsula taken by the Apollo and Soyuz space vehicles apparently show networks of geological fractures which have not previously been recorded. When combined with other information - for example with the distribution map of destroyed Bronze Age settlements - this material could be suggesting a cause for these destructions in terms of a massive rotating shift of the position of the Arabian peninsula in relation to the western Asiatic land mass. However the data has not yet been collected, analysed in detail and presented in clear pictorial form; and all of this must ...
480. Some Notes on Senmut's Ceiling [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , familiar to Egyptologists since their discovery in the last century: that of the tomb of Seti I, conventionally dated about 200 years later, and that of the Ramesseum, dated some 250 years after Senmut. And one point must be made at the start: the astronomical charts which appear as ceiling decor in Egypt are not "star maps" as we know them, but follow an artistic tradition (or set of traditions) which would seem to have astrological and even mythological as well as astronomical content. Nor - if we follow the interpretation usually put on them - do they attempt to represent the arrangement of the constellations across the sky, except for the immediate area ...
