... Welsh gwerthyd spindle, Sanskrit vart turn, vartalcas quail; which would make it the turned land; and would entail a meaning absolutely similar to that of all the Varshas of Hindu mythic cosmogony. It would thus be the churned, or the up-risen land. Yet another Delos origin-myth is this: Asteric was the daughter of I'olos (the polar deity?) and mother of "Heraklês; she was daughter of the Titan Kotos-the hollower (of the heavens)? and sister of Latô. Zeus cast her into the Cosmic Ocean-the fate of innumerable deities and where she fell arose the island of Asteria or Ortugia or Delos. Asterie was also changed into a quail, which is ...
272. The shaping of the earth's topography [Books]
... Chap 5: I | II | III | IIII | PART IV : Appendixes I | II | III | IV | Acknowledgements | Notes And References | PART III The Consequences Of Cosmic Catastrophism CHAPTER 1:Geology and palaeontology I The shaping of the earth's topography The worldwide character of the devastations that may be caused by the shift of the polar axis, the slip of the lithosphere, the seismic and heat waves produced by the impact of giant meteorites, has been emphasized in the previous chapters. The existence of large masses of water (the oceans and the seas) suggests that huge, terrifying tidal waves have swept across the continents, washing away large portions of sediments here ...
273. Samson Revealed [Journals] [Aeon]
... Gilga-mesh and Apollo to celestial gates, is but one of hundreds of mythical themes which will never be explained by reference to the current Solar System. Indeed, it is our opinion that Mars' peculiar role as "gate-keeper" can only be understood by reference to a lost Solar System, one known to the readers of AEON as the polar configuration. Here the ancient sun-god, identified as the planet Saturn, upon the face of which the Sun threw an illumi-nated crescent, is associated with a polar column- a stream of debris that stretched toward the Earth's north polar regions. It is this column which provided the celestial prototype for the World Pillar. The crescent at the ...
274. Basinger's Lecture on the Eocene Forests of the Canadian High Arctic [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... stumps and logs. Palaeocene plants from the Fosheim Peninsula of Ellesmere Island closely resemble Palaeocene floras of Western Canada's interior, proving the existence of a cosmopolitan temperate flora' at this time. Eocene sediments on northeastern Axel Heiberg Island contain fossil forests of in situ stumps; these fossil forests aid in understanding the response of biological communities to a mild polar environment. Field work in the Arctic started in 1982, with the focus on the Svendrup Basin. There has been much marine deposition in the area. The geological ages represented are mostly Palaeocene and Eocene; there are a lack of Cretaceous beds in the Canadian High Arctic. The Eureka Sound Group is widely scattered in the Canadian Arctic ...
275. Conclusion [Books]
... correct for the existing astronomical conditions which were established after the last global upheaval. As we shall see later, the last catastrophe which shook our planet may have occurred in the seventh century BC. The onset of new climatic conditions was sudden. The cause is to be found in the impacts by huge meteorites, which provoked shifts of the polar axis of rotation and displacements of the Earth's crust, or parts of it. The effects of new climatic conditions made themselves felt only progressively. Except in special cases (for example, the sudden onset of arctic conditions for certain regions), the existing fauna and flora died out slowly or migrated progressively towards more favourable climatic zones. ...
276. Heracles as Cross-Dresser [Journals] [Aeon]
... to understand Venus' mysterious "glory"? In the reconstruction offered by David Talbott and myself, the "glory" associated with Venus traces to a particular phase in the planet's history wherein it presented a magnificent star-like form. Figure Three provides an illustration of how Venus' "glory" might have appeared during the period associated with the polar configuration. In addition to being a visible manifestation of the planet- goddesses' power, the luminous material emanating from Venus constituted the "glory" or garment of the warrior-hero. Figure Three (Computerization courtest of David N. Talbott.) This symbolism, in turn, plays an important role in ancient myth and ritual. Thus ...
277. The Great 250,000 Year Ice Core [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 2. P. Coyne, The ice age cometh', New Statesman and Society, 3rd September 1993, pp. 30-31. 3. Science 260, 18th June 1993, pp. 1766-67. 4. Bill Burroughs, A Chaotic Future', The Times Magazine, 28th August 1993, p. 24. Fracture Zones in Deep Polar Ice Cores In Aeon Volume III No. 1, Lynn E. Rose draws attention to the curious and largely ignored fact that in deep polar ice cores, there seems to be a zone of brittle ice which tends to shatter. Above and below this zone, the ice is sound. In the Camp Century' Greenland core, ...
278. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... radiocarbon, the abundance and influx of uranium in the oceans and helium in the atmosphere, and the instability of palaeomagnetism in the rocks, and reinterprets the systematic discrepancies in radioactive clocks'. Continental drift is described as a recent catastrophic rupture of "Pangaea" and the sudden shift of its fragments (continents) under the tremendous forces of polar ice-caps. Crustal uplifts and depressions, shield-geosyncline-welt inter-relationships, the nature and occurrence of coal, oil and fossils, overthrusting and stacking of strata, e.g . in the Canadian Rockies, and other geological data provide further support. Critical mathematical analysis of orthodox theory is provided throughout the book. The author was until 1970 Professor of ...
279. Wobbly World [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Turvy Earth In the current issue of Science Magazine Volume 287, Number 5452, Issue of 21 January 2000, pages 455-459 http://www.scinecemag.org two researchers report evidence that 84 million years ago the whole Earth rolled like a ball, turning 16 to 21 degrees in a couple of million years. This "true polar wander", so called because the geographic poles could actually travel across the globe, would move land and sea 10 times faster than continental drift ever has. The paper by William W. Sager of Texas A&M University wsager@ocean.tamu.edu and Anthony K.P . Koppers of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography ...
280. The Origin Of The Moon [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... 12 miles]. The longer diameter [the bulge] points toward the Earth. (24) This information raises a question about what rotational period the Moon must have possessed to generate such a large bulge. This is outlined by V. A. Firsoff, who also presented the physics involved in the calculations: Librational irregularities indicate a polar flattening [oblateness] which makes the polar diameter of the Moon about a mile shorter than the equatorial diameter, at right angles to the line joining the Moon with the Earth....[P ]olar flattening is caused by the centrifugal force of rotation and, other things being equal, is inversely proportional to the square ...
