... , covered the ground with drift. Invasions of the land by the sea, torrential rains, prodigious snowfalls, floods caused by the melting ice cover, and multitudinous icebergs sliding into the sea, all contributed to the readjustment of the mantle of the earth, shifting the sea-floor sand, the disintegrating rock, the lava, the volcanic and meteoric dust and ashes. The arctic lands were denuded and their detachable mantle was washed away; thus was formed the barren stone surface of the Canadian Shield, its soil being carried away as drift. The erosion and drift, the excavation of lakes and valleys, and their filling in with clay, boulders, and sand have been ascribed ...
242. Condensation. Ch.9 Axis Shifted (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... necessary: the oceans must have steamed and the vaporized water must have fallen as snow in latitudes of temperate climates. This sequence of heat and cold must have taken place in quick succession. A precipitate drop in temperature and a rapid condensation of vapours could have followed from the screening effect of clouds of dust. Dust of either volcanic or meteoric origin, by enveloping the earth, could have impaired the solar light and warmth reaching the lower atmosphere. The dust particles ejected by erupting volcanoes have been observed to float in the sky around the globe for many months. So, after the eruption of Krakatoa in Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra in 1883, dust particles suspended in ...
243. The Love Affair as the Mask of Tragedy [Books] [de Grazia books]
... divert the assailant Mars and spare us from total destruction. We would ourselves imitate this orgy, if we were engaging in an alternate mood of anxiety-therapy, or we would propitiate by sacrificing ourselves or what belongs to us or whatever and whomever we can lay our hands on. We know what "gifts of Ares" are. They are meteors. They are the steeds of Mars. They have struck us and are showered upon Moon. When our King Nausithous led us out of Hypereia, it was because of the stone-giants which Mars and his horde had hurled upon our land. The secret will be exposed. Helios the Sun is rising. He never takes part. He ...
244. Dragons in the Sky [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... The twisting, serpentine form of an auroral rayed band, for example, might as easily be the source of the cited reports here. Some years ago - I think it was 1981 - there was even the suggestion in New Scientist that St George's dragon was actually an aurora... Not everything in the sky has to be a meteoric fireball! ...
245. Victor Clube: Scientific Revelations - the Origins of Catastrophe Myths and Legends [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... and incorporated into their calendars in order that they might be able to predict future catastrophes. He said that the most important cycle of all, and one which we have been denied knowledge of until fairly recently, recurs ever 2,500 years. This has been determined not just through the study of the orbits of comet, asteroid and meteor fields, but also through Greenland ice-core samples. They reveal peaks every 2,500 years of dust particles which accumulate in the atmosphere and then fall on to the ice following clusters of impact events of the type experienced in Tunguska, Siberia, during 1908. Once a knowledge of this cycle is understood we can see that it corresponds ...

248. The Bottom Of The Atlantic. Ch.7 Deserts And Oceans (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... ocean-bottom sediments we measured are formed from the shells and skeletons of countless small sea creatures" and "from volcanic dust and wind-blown soil drifting out over the sea; and from the ashes of burned out meteorites and cosmic dust from outer space sifting constantly down upon the earth." Burned-out meteorites and cosmic dust elicited the question: If the meteoric dust in our age is so sparse that it is hardly detectable on the snow of high mountains, how could ashes of burned-out meteorites and cosmic dust make up a substantial part of the oceanic sediment? And how could it be that all other sources, including detritus carried by rivers, have created in all ages since the beginning a ...
249. The Sacred Mythological Centres of Ireland by Jack Roberts [Journals] [SIS Review]
... as milk but it is unclear if it actually fell to earth (like manna) or was a description of a Milky Way (such as the zodiacal light). The river goddess Loia became the river Lee (in Ireland and in Britain) and the Lords of Light (the tuatha de Danann) descended to earth (substantiating their meteoric origins). The sidhe, or fairies (the fair or bright ones), also had the meaning = stars (shooting stars) and the fairies were people of the stars. He mentions a whole gamut of Irish material from black pig dyke which ran along the ancient border of Ulster, fire festivals (at Imbolc, Bealtaine ...
250. Sea Level Changes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a broken mould, mute testimony of paroxysms in nature - but is it evidence of internal pressures in the earth, or is there a cosmic dimension? A piece of comet hitting one part of the earth could have caused volcanism and earthquakes in other parts and possibly even crustal movements. In other words, worms and dragons (comets and meteors) may have influenced plate movements as recently as the 6th century AD. Rising sea level in the North Sea, originally the flood plain of the river Rhine and its tributaries, has affected all sides of the basin. In the Netherlands for instance, land reclamation and sea defence systems are important, as more than a quarter of ...
