... European Region (J . Abery - after H. H. Lamb [ref.9 ], p.221) The North American continent prior to about 2300 BC was in the Altithermal phase, and was relatively warm and dry. An apparent southern excursion of the Westerlies flow at this general longitudinal region brought cold, wet, maritime polar air over the northern portion of the continent, resulting in the shift to the Medithermal phase with generally cooler, moister conditions. The relatively dry air which previously had been prevalent in the north was pushed to the south, causing drier conditions in the southern half of the continent. A similar southern excursion also appears to have occurred in ...
222. Paleoclimatology and Infrared Radiation Traps: Earth's Antediluvian Climate [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... type from equator to pole (figure 2b). Now the downwing of a Hadley cell means descending air and high pressure. Descending air is inimical to cloud cover so that we must suppose the preflood cloud canopy dispersed in high latitudes, though the other elements of the radiation trap (water vapor and carbon dioxide) were still present. Polar conditions, therefore, tended to dryness, though dews were heavy as temperatures dropped in the open night skies. Equatorial regions were, as now, well watered for they were in the region of generally rising air. The deserts now found at around latitudes 30 north and south correspond to the present positions of Hadley cell downwings. In ...
... and at the bottom of the sea. A perusal of my Earth in Upheaval will convince even the most skeptical of readers that indeed no place on earth is free from this compelling evidence. In arctic regions in the past, coal was formed and corals grew; rhinoceroses, mammoths and buffalo left their bones in enormous profusion deep in the polar circle. In Africa, in China, in Brazil, in northern Europe and elsewhere, are animal conglomerates from tropical and polar regions- polar bears, arctic foxes, tropical snakes and crocodiles. Brown coal (lignite) is found to contain insect forms and plants thrown together from regions as far apart as Norway, Madagascar and Brazil ...
224. Earth in Upheaval by Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... from the natural sciences indicates that these great disturbances which rocked our globe were caused by forces outside the earth itself. In EARTH IN UPHEAVAL the author brings together a multitude of remarkable facts — such as palms found in northern Greenland, corals in Alaska and Spitsbergen, the unfossilized bones of hippopotami in England and France, and the remains of polar bears and arctic foxes crushed together in one mass with ostriches and crocodiles. Further data verify that at the very time that Dr. Velikovsky claimed as the date of the recent global catastrophe only 3500 years ago the level of the world's oceans dropped sharply, climate was violently altered, and ancient civilizations were plunged into destruction. Here is ...
225. Evaporating Oceans. Ch.9 Axis Shifted (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... From "Earth in Upheaval" © 1955 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Evaporating Oceans If we take into account the area occupied by ice in the glacial epoch, much larger than the area of the present polar ice, we must conclude that the shifting of the poles alone cannot explain the origin of the glacial cover. The expansion of the glacial cover in its various stages is supposed to be known. The usual estimate of its thickness is between six and twelve thousand feet. From these figures the mass of the ice is calculated and the quantity of water necessary to produce it. The water must have come from the oceans; it is estimated that ...

... to its present location, would convert the climate of Siberia in an instant from warm to cold.(28) Siberian mammoths have been unearthed, fully preserved, quick-frozen, with still-undigested food in their stomachs.(29) Settlements dated prior to the year -2000 have been unearthed above the Arctic Circle in Siberia. Today, the Earth's polar Pack Ice extends about 30 from the pole in winter.(30) Coverage of the continents by the winter polar cap centered upon a Thule-pole would explain the non-transport effects noted for the last glacial period (blocked rivers, climate, etc.) The water-tides created during the cataclysmic polar readjustment would be sufficient to explain radial transport effects ...
227. Charting Imaginary Worlds: Pole Shifts, Ice Sheets, and Ancient Sea Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... , and did not attempt to estimate). The crust suddenly slides over the mantle, "moving over the soft inner body, much as the skin of an orange, if it were loose, might shift over the inner part of the orange, all in one piece." [17] The ice sheets then move outside the polar regions and melt. New ice sheets begin to form within the new polar circles. In the revised 1970 edition, Hapgood abandoned this mechanism as inadequate. He offered nothing to replace it, only claiming vaguely that: "Advancing knowledge...now suggests that the forces responsible for shifts of the crust lie at some depth within ...
228. Trisms and Planetary Iconography [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... resemble the trism. Here is a short list: a crown, any kind of winged or horned object, an android with arms outstretched, flowers such as the fleur-de-lis or the lotus, sheaves of grain or corn, and- even more abstractly- anchors, hearts, seashells or spades. Readers of David N. Talbott's work on the Saturnian polar configuration will recall how he identified a form that I call a trism as the shape formed by the intersection of the polar mountain and the enclosure of Saturn. (5 ) For certain artistic representations, I will accept Talbott's identification; for others, I will use my own. The following examples illustrate the trism: Figure 2, ...

... stand in the heavens." The idea that the stars are divine beings is a widespread one, of course- of Part 4, p.326 & p.336, note 16. I do not think that the power of the South Star to move up close, to the North Star (fourth paragraph), signifies a polar inversion. After all, there is no mention of anything like an inversion of the constellations or a reversal of diurnal movement. Rather, as I understand it, the South Star is imagined to approach the North Star whilst the North Star stays in place. This interpretation seems to be confirmed by the statement that as the End approaches ...
230. Chapter 14 Agronomy and Climatology [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... this respect, Velikovsky has presented evidence from astronomy, temples and obelisks, and a water clock, to prove that prior to the eighth century B.C . the conditions just described actually occurred. He presented this evidence in his chapter "Poles Uprooted" in Worlds in Collision: "According to Seneca the Great Bear had been the polar constellation. After a cosmic upheaval shifted the sky, a star of the Little Bear became the polar star. Hindu astronomical tablets composed by the Brahmans in the first half of the first millennium before the present era show a uniform deviation from the expected position of the stars at the time the 420 VELIKOVSKIAN Vol. VI, Nos. ...
