... Thebes, via the Wadi Hamamat and Wadi Gasus, and the Red Sea, but the question is still open. After reading Herzog's description of the situation regarding the Nile cataracts in relation to the level of the river water, and considering the possibility of a route via the Wadi Hamamat to the Red Sea, looking for the Wadi on maps, I paused a moment. Casually I switched on the television and there was the British archaeologist John Romer showing us a splendid view of the temple at Deir-el-Bahari in his series, "Life in Ancient Egypt." A moment later he took us with him to the Wadi Hamamat and Wadi Gasus! Romer told us in passing that ...
532. Venus An Interim Report [Journals] [SIS Review]
... experts" should have clung so strongly to the presumably more risky supposition that Venus was relatively cool. And as for the current status of the greenhouse effect, faced with a Venus approaching 1000 F, the statements of astronomers cited on these pages should give food for thought. Dr Hunt had strayed into Patrick Moore's studio to show him the maps (and globes!) of Venus which have been produced following the successful Mariner radar-mapping mission. Venus is now known to possess two large upland areas comparable to continents, one in each hemisphere (and now named Ishtar Terra and Aphrodite Terra, for reasons neither Moore nor Hunt went into). The northern area contains Venus' counterpart ...
533. Electric Stars in a Gravity-Less Electrified Cosmos [Journals] [SIS Review]
... potassium-argon date would be meaningless. If tested an age of millions of years should result. Obviously electricity can metamorphose matter quickly. 7. For those anxious about the future, we can look ahead along the Sun's motion to search for critical zones where catastrophes might be triggered. If the stars get their properties from the surrounding space such stellar mapping may be the key to chronology. 8. Recently Sir Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe have claimed that debris from supernova might be the progenitor of life in appropriately prepared solar systems and the source of epidemics on inhabited worlds. (See reviews by Iles and Palmer in SISR IV:4 , 1980, pp. 89ff.) 9 ...

535. Preface What is historical evidence? [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Science and Ideas" section of U.S . News and World Report succinctly reports for Nov. 9, 1998: "This week's issue of Nature presents the results of scientific tests that show a conclusive DNA match between a male descendant of Sally Hemings and another man who can trace his lineage to Thomas Jefferson's paternal uncle. Advances in mapping of the so- called Y chromosomes, which confer maleness on embryos, allow scientists now to consider DNA matches of the type reported by Nature as virtual proof of genetic linkage. "The evidence here, in other words, removes any shadow of doubt that Thomas Jefferson sired at least one son by Sally Hemings."6 More ...
536. Chapter 3 Astronomical Sothic Dating [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... evidence as disproof nor does he explain why the mathematics is not to be relied on. The venom underlying Spalinger's attack tells us how much is at stake. And his capacity to misrepresent Rose's position that Sothis is Sirius is a measure of this enraged state of mind. My own conclusion regarding Spalinger's thoroughly uncompromising position which rambles all over the map is to suggest it resembles a critique of everything and nothing at the same time. Like Mark Twain's weather forecaster who predicted "Probable nor'east to sou'west winds, varying to the southard and westard and eastard and points between; high and low barometer, sweeping round from place to place, probable areas of rain, snow, hail, ...
537. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... only available in the U.S . A re-run of the author's magazine articles of the past thirty years with no updating, the book is a classic pot-boiler in Sagan style. Most articles date from the fifties and include de Camp's inept forays into Velikovsky's work. EARTH'S SHIFTING CRUST by Charles Hapgood. Turnstone Press, which recently published Hapgood's Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings in the U.K ., have announced their intention to publish the same author's geological study in the near future. MANKIND IN AMNESIA by Immanuel Velikovsky (London: Sidgwick & Jackson, March 1982: £7 .95). Possibly Dr Velikovsky's most important work, this book, on sale in ...
538. An Integrated Model for an Earthwide Event at 2300 BC. Part I: The Archaeological Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... part of a coalition of five cities located in the Dead Sea area, referred to as the Cities of the Plain. The other three cities (Genesis 14:2 ) are named as Admah, Zeboiim and "Bela (which is Zoar)". An intriguing item of information is that Safi is identified as Zoar on a mosaic map on the floor of a 6th century AD Byzantine church a short distance from the sites. The excavators feel that there is a possibility that two of the remaining four sites may be Sodom and Gomorrah [49]. This is an interesting link to the description in the Bible of the catastrophic end of these two cities. After the ...
539. Minerals, Metals, Glazing and Man, by John Dayton, Reviewed by Geoffrey Gammon [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... open to challenge, at least he has asked the right questions. This is without exaggeration an invaluable book which will repay further reading and study for many years to come. References:1) World Archaeology Vol. 3 (1971), pp. 49-70. 2) London, 1978: 496 pages, 32 color plates, 31 maps, over 400 figures; £40. 3) A blue glass frit, artificially molded, believed to be of Egyptian provenance, which Dayton argues is really of Mycenaean origin. 4) V.

540. Night of the Gods: The Pillar [Books]
... Elias or EIYah. See the famous apologue acted by AI-Khedr in the chapter mentioned, and so well used by Voltaire. Allah sent Moses to find Al-Khedr at a Rock where two seas met, and where a fish took to the water. The station of Elias or George, MakAm Hiyas (or Khidr) is marked on the Ordnance Map of the Aksa mosque at Jerusalem. There are numerous Russian legends which seem to separate the pair Ilya and Georgy, Yury, or Yegory the Brave.33 Ilya (Elijah) has in these his flaming chariot, succeeds to the Slavonian thunder-god Perim (see p.194), and destroys devils with his stone-arrows as he clatters ...
