... from California, it is Coyote who was said to have brought fire to mankind. (41) It can therefore be stated that Coyote was the North American Indian Prometheus. And, according to Ev Cochrane, the North American Indian hero known as Coyote was a personification of the planet Mars in relation to the axis mundi, or Saturnian polar column. (42) This, again, is given substance by the pictographic representations of the Hopi Coyote at Oraibi and Chaco Canyon where the hero's emblematic animal is shown in conjunction with the concentric circles (43) which both Talbott and Cochrane have interpreted as representing the superimposition of the planets constituting the Saturnian configuration as it would have ...
202. More Trouble for Frank's Mini-comets Theory [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... by the presence of comets the size of a house bombarding the Earth's atmosphere every few seconds. The existence of such comets, sometimes referred to as snowballs in space, has been hotly debated since it was first proposed by Prof. Louis A. Frank in 1986. New, higher resolution images from the VIS and UVI cameras aboard the Polar spacecraft show similar clusters of dark pixels, which Frank and Dr. John B. Sigwarth, both of the University of Iowa, have recently taken as independent verification of the presence of small comets. Various critics of the comet theory have previously suggested that the simple explanation for the dark pixels is noise. In papers scheduled for publication ...
203. Impact Geology (Review)ed [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... collision with a few of the most massive space objects caused the axis of the earth to change in relation to the rays of the sun and in relation to the plane of its orbit around the sun. It agrees too . . . that the earth's axis was in a different location in Permian time, as revealed by the old glaciated polar areas the same size as our present Arctic Circles. It departs from orthodox theory in holding that a very large body struck the earth off the Carolina Coast about 11,400 BP at an angle nearly tangent to the earth's surface, causing the earth to roll some 30 degrees while proceeding in its orbit around the sun. This new ...

... gives several conclusions. The last one of them, Number 4, is, "Venus probably has a tail .. ." "Has..." that's the present tense. 1974. ". .. has a tail hundreds of scale lengths long, suggestive of that of a comet." Now with regard to the polar configuration modeling, I don't have any further remarks or questions regarding Bob Grubaugh's model today. I will simply outline my own model; its manuscript presentation is in press with Aeon. I hope it will come out soon, but I haven't been given a date for that. The .. . (How much time do I have ...
205. Recent Finds In Geology. Ch.17 Supplement (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... an inaccuracy in the last sentence of an otherwise well written article by Manley: the reversal must have occurred in the eighth century and again in the beginning of the seventh century (687 BC). I was gratified to find, in the original publication of Professor Mercanton, to whom I directed my inquiry, that the vases with reversed polarity date from the eighth century.5 I expect that, should the research be extended to vases dating from the end of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt (circa 3 500 years ago), other periods of "unnatural" polarity would be determined in Egypt and elsewhere. Professor R. Daly of Harvard University found that 3 500 years ...
206. A Working Hypothesis. Ch.9 Axis Shifted (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... upheaval-all this dust would keep the rays of - the sun from penetrating to the earth. The temperature under the clouds would be reduced, but close to the ground it would be higher than normal because the heated earth would, by convection, dissipate its heat into the atmosphere. Great streams would be formed by the melting ice of the polar regions, carried out of the Polar Circle, and heated by the ground. Glaciers from the mountains would dissolve and inundate the valleys. In higher and in temperate latitudes the falling snow would turn to water or even vapour before reaching the ground or soon thereafter. For many months and probably years, the snow falling on the ground ...
207. Saturn and the Flood: The Ice-Core Evidence [Journals] [Aeon]
... Chloride concentration in parts per billion at Camp Century and Dye 3 plotted against age. Except for isolated peaks associated with volcanic sulfate spikes, the concentrations have been relatively constant for the last 10,000 years. [7 ] Velikovsky's explanation for the origin of chlorine in the oceans is that it came from another planet. Chloride blows onto polar ice sheets from the surrounding oceans in trace amounts, the concentration decreasing with distance and elevation. The concentration of chloride in today's oceans is about a million times higher than in the ice. The concentration in the Flood layer would have been even higher. Chloride has been measured at Greenland's Camp Century and Dye 3, but not continuously ...

... are capable of electrically charging small particles. The charged icy particles then interacted with the earth's geomagnetic field, and were subjected to new routes parallel to field force lines. The smaller the particle, the sooner it assumed an auroral pattern and descended somewhat gradually through the vortices of the radiation belt, that is, roughly falling over the magnetic polar areas. The radiation belt vortices may have shifted a little over a period of days, resulting in the various locations of today's specific ice nodes. The solar charging of the icy particles, and their geomagnetic redirection and depletion, may have been completed in weeks, perhaps five to ten weeks. Thus the ice age took a month ...

... than the extraordinary forms taken by the planetary configuration. When considered in their ancient contexts, not one of these archetypal forms is either logical or expected under our familiar sky. Hence, an entirely new level of evidence came into the picture. Laboratory Confirmation There is more. Those who have seen some of the "snapshots" of the Polar Configuration will recall that the reconstructed images involve certain filamentary streamers radiating from planets or stretching between planets. In human imagination these were seen most commonly as braided hair, entwining ropes, streaming feathers, or undulating, twisting serpentine forms. Here the interactions of Venus and Mars within the configuration are most prominent, illuminating the global myths of ...
210. Catastrophes: the Diluvial Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 20th Century Catastrophists Possible catastrophist scenarios, often speculative in nature, continued to be put forward, to little effect. Hugh Auchincloss Brown (1879-1975), an engineer who graduated from Columbia University, proposed in a 1948 private publication that the tilt of the Earth's axis could change in catastrophic fashion, the disturbances being triggered by the weight of polar ice. Ten years later, Charles Hapgood, a science historian from Keene State College, New Hampshire, began to argue for a similar theory, in which only the crust moved, not the whole Earth. However, these ideas made little impression on orthodox scientific thought [7 , 22]. Scenarios based on extraterrestrial impacts fared ...
