... to fall 400 metres; Alpine glaciers grew; flooding of Northern Europe's bogs; deciduous forests growing along the coast into the Arctic circle were replaced by conifers, the conifers by tundra and the tundra became barren; wheat and vines no longer grew north of Stockholm as they had during the Bronze Age - all due to severe volcanic eruptions and meteoric dust from the comet Typhon. Routes were abandoned and Northern Europe's population fell dramatically. A burning horizon, dated by pollen analysis to about 1000BC, is found in all the bogs of Holland, North Germany and Scandinavia (Alps and Black Forest also mentioned in this context) .. . the country was thickly forested as far as ...
322. Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane [Journals] [SIS Review]
... The scapegoat probably derives from the time when Mars was seen to be expelled from the Saturn-Venus complex and the concurrent chaos caused catastrophe on Earth. The same event can also be linked to the universal migration myth in which the Martian hero leads his people to a new homeland. The disturbances to the Polar Configuration at this time probably released much meteoric debris by which heaven appeared to be overcome, as with a pestilence, and the sun' god eclipsed. There is still a superstitious connection between eclipses and pestilence today. After the expulsion of Mars the debris cleared and the sun' god reappeared, indicating to awed human spectators that the expulsion had been the cure, a heavenly ...

... closely associated with the number 7 and Isis with 70. Indeed, the dance of the seven veils', now confined to strip joints, had roots in the ancient middle east and cultic rites associated with goddesses. In trying to rationalise the number 7 we may note its connection with the seven stars of the Pleiades from which the Taurid meteor stream emerges. A connection appears to exist with Snow White locked up in her castle (the inactive period of the stream and the prevailing view after her final disappearance) but let's not forget the seven dwarves, the seven sisters etc. See also Eric Crew's letter on p. 58 of C&CR 1997:1 , where ...
325. L'Énigme de la Structure Elliptique [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the Late Bronze Age, 1159-45BC (in Greek terms, the end of LHIIIB). It was at this moment in time that a great destruction befell Greece and Anatolia involving a fiery apparition of the ' star Anat'. The Pleiades, according to Clube and Napier, are in that region of the sky from which the Taurid meteor complex emerges. Phillip Clapham ...
326. Pot Pourri [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Lord Renfrew. In the co-authoredArchaeology: Theories, Methods and Practice, [19] a mis-classification seems to have been made. Following a brief reference to Ignatius Donnelly's Atlantis theory in the section Archaeology at the Fringe', the following appears: The basic structure of Donnelly's argument was repeated with variants by Immanuel Velikovsky [emphasis added] (meteors [sic] and astronomical events) and recently by Graham Hancock. Such theories often share characteristics: They celebrate a remarkable lost world whose people possessed many skills surpassing those of the present. They account for most of the early accomplishments of prehistoric and early state societies with a single explanation: all were the work of the skilled inhabitants ...
327. Independent Confirmation of a Catastrophic Event [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , then cometary meteoroids can be expected to carry water. Consequently, I looked in the paper for references to severe flooding occurring with the meteoroid fall - and I found it - the worst kind, flash-flooding, caused by a large amount of water falling suddenly in the region. Furthermore, I determined that in most cases, flooding and meteor falls occurred together. Now, the Jewish Talmud states that: He took two stars out of Pleiades, and thus let the Deluge loose. And when He wished to arrest it, he took two stars out of Arcturus and stopped it'. Arcturus is a star in the constellation Bootes, close to the celestial north-pole. In ...
328. Focus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... provided that reasoned response! We leave our readers to judge whether or not the likes of Mr. Gribbin are still trying to suppress Velikovsky's works. The perpetrator of asides such as "who needs Velikoysky's comet anyway?" has presented a similar comet (in the form of Lucifer's Hammer) as respectable, reviewed the recent theories of major meteor impact, and still denies that it was Velikovsky's comet that started things rolling back in 1950. He claims "no amnesia was involved in my not mentioning Inunanuel Velikovsky, who deserves no credit whatsoever for his curious mismash of half-truths and inaccuracies." UNABLE TO COMMENT MR. F.J .Gallagher of Merrylands, N.S ...
329. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . It is about the great extinction of the terminal Cretaceous period, and argues a catastrophist cause - the collision of a small planet with our Earth. Surprisingly for a catastrophist book, the argument for catastrophism per se is weak. However, its strong point is the excellent discussion of the catastrophic effects of Earth colliding with a planetoid, meteor. or comet. This has been well thought out and calculated, and includes a discussion of the shock waves and their noise, earthquake propagation, tidal waves, dust clouds, etc. In this department the book looks more solid (and is better referenced) than Clube & Napier's Cosmic Serpent. Erratum J. E. Aitchison ...

... a coal seam, the fossil rootlets of young plants in the clay layer underlying the coal and fossils of species which remain unchanged throughout a period supposed to be of 160 million years duration. Both limestone and coal are orthodoxly regarded as of organic origin, so how does Zysman explain them? The so-called limestone cycle is not apparent today but meteors contain calcium oxide which readily hydrates and combines with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate which would be precipitated in warming summer waters. Coal was a hydrophobic gelatinous material which floated initially, later accumulating minerals and sinking, to stifle the new growth of young seedlings. The entire Carboniferous Era is just the record of one monumental event in Earth's ...
