... while, for the sake of those that accompanied Alexander, king of Macedonia, who yet lived, comparatively but a little while ago, the Pamphylian Sea retired and afforded them a passage (33) through itself, had no other way to go; I mean, when it was the will of God to destroy the monarchy of the Persians: and this is confessed to be true by all that have written about the actions of Alexander. But as to these events, let every one determine as he pleases. 6. On the next day Moses gathered together the weapons of the Egyptians, which were brought to the camp of the Hebrews by the current of the sea ...

423. The AAAS Affair: from Twenty Years After [Books]
... the First Babylonian Dynasty would have been in the first half of the second millennium. But Vaughan and I deny that the Ninsianna tablets are in any way connected with Ammisaduqa. Thus we do not want to see any intercalation records from Ammisaduqa forced upon the Ninsianna document. Heinsohn puts Ammisaduqa in the fourth century, and identifies him with the Persian king Artaxerxes III Ochos; Heinsohn also identifies Hammurabi of the First Babylonian Dynasty with the Persian king Darius the Great. For reasons completely different from Heinsohn's, I agree with both of these identifications. (Notice that "Ammisaduqa" lived something like four centuries after the Ninsianna observations: no wonder the Ninsianna document does not mention him! ...
424. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Five [Books]
... Noah of the Mexicans, and his wife Xochiquetzal, are seated in a trunk of a tree covered with leaves, and floating amidst the waters. These four ages, which are also designated under the name of suns, contain together eighteen thousand and twenty- eight years; that is to say, six thousand years more than the four Persian ages described in the Zend-Avesta. I nowhere find how many years had elapsed from the deluge of Coxcox to the sacrifice of Tlalixco, or till the reform of the Aztec calendar; but, however near we may suppose these two periods, we still find that the Mexicans attributed to the world a duration of more than twenty thousand years ...

The Pacific Ocean, throughout a space comprehended between the thirtieth parallels of latitude on each side of the equator, is extremely productive of coral ; as also are the Arabian and Persian Gulfs. Coral is also abundant in the sea between the coast of Malabar and the island of Madagascar. Flinders describes a reef of coral on the east coast of New Holland as having a length of nearly 1000 miles, and as being in one part unbroken for a distance of 350 miles.

427. From Fadus the Procurator to Florus [Books]
... Upon Festus's coming into Judea, it happened that Judea was afflicted by the robbers, while all the villages were set on fire, and plundered by them. And then it was that the sicarii, as they were called, who were robbers, grew numerous. They made use of small swords, not much different in length from the Persian acinacae, but somewhat crooked, and like the Roman sicae, [or sickles,] as they were called; and from these weapons these robbers got their denomination; and with these weapons they slew a great many; for they mingled themselves among the multitude at their festivals, when they were come up in crowds from all parts ...

429. The Egyptian Prince Moses [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . All of this, according to Josephus, was viewed with misgivings by the Egyptians.[5 ] The life of Moses was impeccable. God providentially guided him so that he was untainted by court life on the Nile. A New Look at Artapanus Now let us return to examine carefully the remarks of Artapanus, who apparently was a Persian Jew, as indicated by his name. In his work called Concerning the Jews, Artapanus states that Moses: [6 ] .. .was the inventor of ships and machines for laying stones, and Egyptian arms, and engines for drawing water and for war, and invented philosophy.

430. Benoît De Maillet (1656-1738): A Forerunner of the Theory of the Desiccation of the Mediterranean Sea [Journals] [SIS Review]
... accounted for only if we consider that the Mediterranean Sea became wholly dry for a stage of its geological history [2 , 3]. This caused catastrophic changes in the environment in an area of about 2.5 millions km2, going through a previous brine stage of similar characteristics to those of the Dead Sea, and sebkhas of the Persian Gulf and playas of the Death Valley. This salinity crisis, as the phenomenon is usually named, could have occurred if the Mediterranean Sea became completely isolated as a sort of lake, or because the water reflux back to the Atlantic Ocean did not take place [4 , 5, 6]. In any case, the Strait ...
