... Home | Issue Contents 2nd SIS Cambridge Conference Abstracts Poster Presentations Abstracts Prof Emilio Spedicato, University of Bergamo Evidence of Tunguska-type Impacts Over The Pacific Basin Around The Year 1178 A.D .In year 1178 A.D ., as related by Clube and Napier in their book The Cosmic Serpent, a strange event was observed to affect the Moon, which may be explained by a large impact on the hidden face, originating the Giordano Bruno crater. A number of observations suggest that catastrophic cometary or meteoritic impacts around the same time also affected the Pacific basin: Maori legends of great fires destroying forests and the moa bird, to be associated to the recently found Tapanui craters; ...
262. Myths of Floating Islands (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 27 Myths of Floating Islands An important and peculiar subdivision of the myths describing escape from the waters of the Flood on to mountains is represented by those which emphasize that these mountains, or rather islands, went sailing through the waves like ships. This is not the habit of firm land, however (unless we think of the sudd, the floating masses of decayed vegetation found on the Upper Nile) or similar drifting islands on the Amazon; or, indeed, of icebergs). It must have been due to an optical illusion, such as we have ...
263. Letters To The Edttor [Journals] [Aeon]
... form. I would guess that the pseudoscience of astrology is as old or nearly as old as many of the myths that are utilized in Talbott's presentation. He should know how far back in time that astrology has been practiced better than I do. As we all know, however, astrology is based on the movements of the planets, Moon, and sun relative to the background stars. Therefore, the time in which astrology has been practiced tends to place limits on the length of time in which the planetary configuration of synchronous orbits could be observed by early humans and to place doubt that synchronous orbits ever existed. A concurrent or overlapping development of mythology and astrology would destroy ...
264. Epilogue (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... © 1983 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Epilogue SINCE 1956, when the first draft of this book was completed, there has been an increasing interest in Velikovsky's work primarily because the space age, which began in 1957, brought a remarkable record of additional confirmations of his advance claims. Wherever the investigators have looked- Earth and Moon, Sun, the planets with their moons- the story has been the same: Their findings were in accord with Velikovsky's concept of the recent history of the solar system, while the conventional views had to be revised, re-evaluated, or supported with ad-hoc explanations. The electromagnetism that astronomers disparaged in 1950 has come to be seen as playing ...
265. The Saturn Thesis: Questions and Answers [Journals] [Aeon]
... alien sky. As one begins to see the past differently, recent space age discoveries will take on a new significance. Our probes of other planets, such as the Mariner explorations of Mars, the Voyager missions to Jupiter and Saturn, and more recently the Magellan mapping of Venus, have produced many stunning images of the planets and their moons, together with undeniable evidence of sweeping catastrophe within the planetary system. Taken as a whole, these stark profiles of our neighbors challenge traditional theories claiming slow and uneventful planetary evolution. Moreover, a new possibility arises from a reconsideration of the historical material: the possibility that the horrendous scars on our planetary neighbors resulted from events witnessed by ...
266. New Physics Supports Planetary Catastrophism [Journals] [SIS Review]
... comet, it is not quite so surprising that it now has a near circular orbit. This new model of gravity supports the purely electrical calculations of Eric Crew [17] who arrived at a time-scale for Venus to spiral into its present circular orbit from the vicinity of Jupiter or Saturn in the order of 100 years. When planets and moons are close enough, a more violent form of charge exchange may occur. It is then that the apocalyptic weapon of the planetary gods is unleashed - the interplanetary thunderbolt. If such events have truly occurred we should find evidence in the surface scars of planets and moons. What do we actually find? The planets provide an embarrassment of ...
267. When Earth Was Not Yet Created: An Account of Sumerian Cosmogony [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... solar system on a cylinder seal, VA.243 (Fig. 1). It will be shown that Enuma elish is based on plausible scientific theories concerning the process by which our solar system has taken shape, including a cataclysmic celestial collision. We find in the ancient text answers to some puzzles attending modern theories concerning Earth, the Moon, the Asteroid belt, the comets, Pluto, and even a presumption of the existence of a "Planet X."7 Lines 1-2 of the Akkadian text8 establish the time frame: Heaven and Earth (" firm ground") have not yet been created, nor are there any other celestial gods (Tablet I, fine ...
268. Annotated Bibliography for Catastrophism [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... nwu.edu/~pib/catasbib.htm "This bibliography includes both standard references and some important catastrophist references. I've tried to emphasize the lesser-known catastrophist literature since devotees of Velikovsky often don't realize just how derivative of earlier catastrophists Velikovsky's work really was." Copyright © 1995 by Philip R. Burns. Bellamy, Hans Schindler. Moons, Myths, and Man. Faber and Faber, London, 1936. Bellamy, following the "ice cosmology" of Hoerbiger, suggested that humans had experienced two major catastrophes in the last 50,000 years. The first was the disintegration and impact of the earth's previous moon. The second was the capture of the earth's current ...
269. Encounters and Collisions [Books] [de Grazia books]
... meteorite craters is quite a new one." Only several were listed, and of these only the Barringer crater of Arizona and the Wabar Craters in Arabia had been well described, both lately. Yet, to continue the litany of this book, it appears now that enough meteoroids and comets have struck the Earth to deface it throughout. Moon, Mercury and Mars evidence telescopically tens of thousands of large astroblemes. Dachille (1962), projecting the Moon's apparent experience onto Earth, estimated a round million of heavy impacts here [2 ]. He assumes five billion years of uniform falls and applies weathering rates for the continental masses from wind, tide and vegetative erosion, ending ...
270. Worlds In Collision. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... ON OR ABOUT October 20, 1940, half a year after I came upon the initial idea for the reconstruction of ancient history, I was sitting at dusk in the dining alcove at a window overlooking the Hudson, reading the Scriptures. I came to the chapter in the Book of Joshua in which the miracle with the sun and the moon is described. I remembered how, in 1912, at the age of seventeen, during my first visit to the land of Israel, I came to the kibbutz Merhavia in the valley of Jezreel- the first, and then the only, settlement in that part of the country, now studded with agricultural settlements. No house, other ...
