... 4 ): 37-54 (Winter 1976). I must begin with several caveats. First, I do not present these findings as a closed and substantiated set of hypotheses. They are suggestions put forth for discussion, not conclusions, but beginnings. Second, they are part deductive, part inductive, as they must be when one is mapping out terra incognita. Third, because I am addressing an audience fairly specialized in the sciences, but less specialized in literature and drama, I feel I can refer to the Velikovsky background briefly, but that I must treat the action of the plays in some detail. Now to my paper. Quite simply, I have come across ...
... mass covered the low lands of northern Siberia any more than those of Alaska, ' wrote James D. Dana [Manual of Geology, (4th ed.) p. 977] the leading American geologist of the last century." Why weren't these lands glaciated as the Ice Age theory requires? This is further corroborated in Charles Hapgood's Maps of The Ancient Sea Kings, (NY 1979), revised ed., pp. 177-178. Hapgood remarks that, "the freezing of up of Siberia [occurred] simultaneously with the thawing of North America." If as Velikovsky suggested the axis of the Earth tilted, or as Hapgood suggested the crust of the Earth slipped ...

... was the native land in early times, he says, of "almost all the Finns" (not Frisians, Robert Scrutton please note!) The Finns call the islands Ahvenenmaa. How similar this sounds to Evenor's mountain, the central feature of Plato's original lost Atlantis. The forger made a double killing there! Then look at the map of Scandanavia as a whole, imagining it to be separated from Russia by the sea, as it once was. The size and topography fit Plato's description to a T! The iron-rich Gulf of Bothnia is like a gigantic hole punched in it. A triple killing? Aldland of course goes via Adland to Atlant. The -is ending ...
544. Shoshenq and Shishak: A Case of Mistaken Identity [Journals] [SIS Review]
... on his way to Jerusalem Shishak "took the fortified cities of Judah" (2 Chronicles 12:4 ). He is evidently referring here to the 15 cities listed previously as built (or fortified) by Rehoboam for the defence of Judah (2 Chronicles 11:1-5) [46]. As can be seen from the accompanying map, these protected the heart of Rehoboam's kingdom on the west, south and east; other forts lay at important road junctions. The absence from the Chronicler's list of any towns to the north, to protect Rehoboam from his hostile neighbour Jeroboam, is striking and can have only one explanation: when the kingdom split, Rehoboam must have ...

... bodies which crashed into the Moon were travelling in exactly the same orbit as the Moon! They could not therefore have been asteroids or comets in orbit around the Sun because if they were they could not all have hit the Moon near its equator. They must have been moons of the Moon." This idea is supposed by the geological map of Mare Orientale, said to be the site of the last great impact(s ). It also affords the intriguing speculation that the Moon might have had a "ring" around it at one time, just as the gas giants do today, and as O'Keefe has speculated once encircled the Earth. Monitor was compiled from contributions ...

... whether certain places are supposed to be moving away from or towards each other, and Ron Oxburg (Cambridge University) warned that tectonic interpretation depends largely on the disciplinary leaning of the person involved, whether physics, chemistry or geology. Another warning was given to the radio-isotope chemists who measure the age of the rocks - these should be well mapped. Doubtful sources could give rise to a wealth of error. The catastrophist prize must finally go to Gene Shoemaker. He threw in the suggestion that Earth received its oceans by means of an ice-comet, albeit that this was 4.5 - 4.2 thousand million years ago! Saturn Electrostatic Discharges source: NATURE 5.5 ...

... . Claiming that Venus has "Earth-like" mountains, Nigel Henbest writes for NEW SCIENTIST that many of the newly interpreted features on Venus appear to be of a similar nature to Earth's. The region of Maxwell Montes has come in for scrutiny: Maxwell Montes has been held to be a large and possibly active volcano. New Arecibo Observatory radar mapping and Pioneer altitude data do not corroborate this idea, according to Henbest, although he does concede that there may still be active volcanoes on Venus. Henbest's conclusions are not echoed in AVIATION WEEK & SPACE TECHNOLOGY, which leaves the question of Maxwell Montes's possible vulcanism open, as well as highlighting a newly discovered surface feature which is volcanic ...

... summed up. We believe that there is a considerable gap in the neo-Darwinian theory of evolution, and we believe this gap to be of such a nature that it cannot be bridged within the current concepts of biology. ' "Repeatedly, the impasse that Darwinians reach is one with a sign saying there is no useful road ahead without a map showing the overall pattern of evolution; random mutations- at least sequential mutations of one-after-one Darwin kind- lead to yet more dead ends." (36) Arthur Koestler sums up the evidence thus regarding mutation and natural selection in evolution: "The totalitarian claim of the neo-Darwinists that evolution is nothing but' chance mutation plus [natural] selection ...

... this late." [27] The problem, of course, can be resolved if unambiguous archaeological evidence can be brought to bear upon it. This would necessitate the discovery of the ruins of Homer's Troy - a ridiculous statement, some might think, since these ruins were supposedly discovered in 1872. But problems are encountered here also. Map of the Troad after H. Schliemann, Troja (London, 1894), the dotted line indicating the probable coastline in the first millennium BC, according to modern geologists. (Illustration: David Rohl). 4.
