... Icelandic Edda, etc. (30) The distinctions that Velikovsky tried to draw are not so simple, however. He did rely, to a great extent, on the fundamentalist explanations of geologist, Price. He did have "an axe to grind," namely to dissociate Freud's psychoanalytic typography from what he regarded as Freud's displacement of Moses from his rightful place in history. And, although it is true that he depended heavily on non-Judaic sources, he used them chiefly to corroborate his Exodus-based model of global catastrophes. It is certain, however, that Velikovsky was no ordinary Jewish fundamentalist. His concept that the origin of religions and of gods derived from ancient perceptions of ...

... uniformitarian principles, and arrived at a 50,000 year approximation of its age. Velikovsky gives several reasons for reducing this age drastically, and estimates both the Dead Sea and Jordan Valley have an age of 5000 years. In all the disastrous effects of the biblically described destruction, a sea is not mentioned; yet when the Israelites under Moses and Joshua arrived on the spot around 3450 years ago they encountered the Sea. The Jordan River, argues Velikovsky, had changed the direction of its flow, too. "Prior to the Exodus, the Jordan Valley was on a higher level than the Mediterranean Sea. With the rupture of the tectonic structure along the river and the ...
593. Poleshift [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... long period of rainfall in the Sahara during the hipsithermal also occurred in Egypt and damaged the Sphinx. Therefore we have shown that during civilized historical times there was much rainfall in the Sahara which continued into the period when chariots were driven and people wore civilized clothing, and that this rainfall also damaged the Sphinx. This is further corroborated by Moses B. Cotsworth whose The Rational Almanac, privately was printed in York, England in 1920, who examined the Sphinx, and showed: "It has repeatedly taken several hundred men several years to clear the sand from its base and revealed a six-tiered obelisk against its chest (now missing),... Each time the base ...
... 1959] What was the name of the Delta (region) in Egyptian? Goshen could actually be a derivative from gosh, to approach, to enter a haven, in Hebrew. I remember that when at the age of 17 I have first visited Egypt and went to Heliopolis, I was told (by a guide?) that Moses studied there. Actually, the Scripture has it that Joseph was married to a daughter of a priest of On. C[yrus]. Gordon placed Ur of Abraham north of Haran in the region of the Chaldeans, exactly, as myself, demanding a place for the Chaldeans in that region, but he did not come to ...

... cobalt or other chemicals) because of its great heat, its compression of the ambiant air, its wide path of fall-out, and deep and large explosive cratering. During the disasters of Exodus, several documents give indications of radiation effects. The widespread "leprosy" effect may denote radiation disease, as I have explained in my study of Moses. Eating fallen quail killed many persons, reports Jewish legend. The manna, too, had to be eaten under supervision; to argue that it was"holy" and thus had to be treated ritualistically is a modern sociological notion overlooking that it might have become "holy" for several reasons, one being that priests, the ...

... similar tubes in Utah. The former are like fulgurites and are found near the great diamond fields. Probably the same electrical flows that dug the kimberlites produced the diamonds. Whether this should be called "slow lightning," and discussed in the preceding chapter, or should be discussed here is perhaps immaterial at this stage of research. The Moses Rock dike of Utah is about 4 miles long at the surface, in the shape of a hook, and about 1000 feet wide. It was forced up from possibly 200 kilometers below the surface. Komarek has come to believe that "lightning is ecologically fully as important as such better known factors as temperature, rainfall, soils etc ...
... aghast." The editors responded to her objection to Nichols by wondering rhetorically if Worlds in Collision really did support the veracity of the Bible: Or does it follow the line of those who have tried to explain away' Jesus' miracles or make them acceptable to modern Thomases by attributing them to material causes? Does Dr. Velikovsky present Moses and Joshua as inspired leaders, understanding divine power and supported by it, or as charlatans attributing to spiritual causes phenomena that the doctor strains credulity to explain...? The Monitor's editorial position, trying to maintain a skeptical balance against Velikovsky on both Christian and scientific grounds, was further exemplified by R. C. Cowen's column ...
