... not count the worldwide pattern of raised and lowered beaches as coastal destruction' in a catastrophic sense. As I explained in Kronos X:3 , pp. 4-5, these sea level changes are the result of glacial melting and subsequent rebound of the Earth's crust. The catastrophic boiling/evaporation of the oceans that Velikovsky invoked for building the polar ice caps would have caused mass extinctions for which there is no fossil record. In contrast, the Channeled Scablands in the Pacific Northwest, formed when Glacial Lake Missoula drained catastrophically about 18,000 years ago, show that great floods do not vanish without a trace. Thumbing through Warlow's book and back issues of Workshop (5 : ...
372. Ice Cores of Greenland [Books] [de Grazia books]
... and atmospheric chemistry. Langway (1967) first perceived the great and many-sided aspects of extending physical and chemical analyses of snow and ice to what Crary (1970) calls: the thin dimension' of glaciers, thereby adding time to the parameters considered. In a more recent paper, Dansgaard and others (1973) listed the potentialities of polar ice-core and bore-hole studies relevant to glaciology, meteorology, climatology, geology, volcanology, atmospheric chemistry, cosmic and solar physics, and 14C dating"[1 ]. No mention is made of the small group of catastrophist scholars shuddering at the brink of the bore-hole, but it happens that if the ice core were to demonstrate the ...
373. Common Sense About Ancient Maps [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... a version of the map, and a flat surface, which I concluded was a strait, extending westward between the mountains, divide the land which, now hidden by ice, we know as Greenland, a single island.... So, assuming that the map was an ancient Norse sailing chart, I platted it on a polar projection. It became obvious that the original map had been platted on a portolano projection [a map drawn so that sailing from one port to another is related to straight lines]. Drawing grids on a copy of the Greenland section of the map, I found even more than I had dared to hope I would find: all ...
374. The Origin of Velikovsky's Comet [Journals] [Kronos]
... Saturn's past, as posed by Velikovsky's intriguing references, inspired the several years of research behind one of the writers' recently-published book, The Saturn Myth.(2 ) The book proposes that Saturn - fixed at the celestial pole - loomed massively overhead, a central sun venerated by all mankind. Evidence is presented there for a Saturnian "polar configuration" as the source of early civilization's dominant symbols. One of the features of this Saturnian configuration was a giant band surrounding the planet. The Saturn Myth is a preface to a longer saga involving interplanetary upheavals. In that book, no reference is made to Venus, Mars, or Jupiter, even though these planets emerge as ...
375. Fractures and Cleavages [Books] [de Grazia books]
... old North Pole and proceeded rapidly towards the old South Pole, bending as the north geographical axis of the globe shifted to the northeast and as global rotation slowed and resumed. The globe must have jerked suddenly as the Atlantic cleavage passed through what are now the Brazilian and African humps, and then resumed its more direct southerly course. The polar ice cap is said by Weyer to have shifted its position by 10 to 15 degrees along a line 60 degrees west and 120 degrees east [2 ]. Possibly the cap was cleaved and the rift began running; then almost immediately the Intruder began to cut its swath from the Pacific crust and staggered the Earth to a momentary pause ...
376. The Crescent II [Books]
... the ship's mast. And it is no accident, for while the Egyptian khet means "steps" (Primeval Hill), khet also means "ship's mast" (Primeval Hill = steps = mast = Primeval Hill). The symbolism becomes all the more fascinating when one discovers that the Hindus identified the steps or pyramid as both the polar Mount Meru and the mast of the ship Argha. 97. Two Egyptian versions of the cosmic ship and Primeval Hill Such integrated symbolism underlines the fundamental relation of the crescent-ship to the cosmic mountain. Faber thus concludes: "Here we may perceive the reason why the pagans deemed those mountains peculiarly sacred, which branched out at their summits ...
377. The Age of Purple Darkness [Journals] [Aeon]
... be forthcoming if the Saturnian age was ever a reality. The critical element of the problem is the Saturnian poleward tidal pull. The Saturnian tide would have been composed of several elements. The largest Saturnian bulge would have been of the plastic subcrustal rock. There would have been a tendency for rigid crustal plates to move to positions simulating a polar bulge. On 2/5 of this scale, roughly, would have been the marine, or oceanic, bulge. The atmospheric bulge would have been 1/1000 of the latter. [35] In order to guess what magnitude of subcrustal bulge, crustal plate migration, and oceanic bulge would have obtained in the Saturnian era ...
378. The Electro-gravitic Theory of Celestial Motion [Journals] [Aeon]
... , is that the planet accelerates as if the electromagnetic force acted directly on it. Rotation by Electromagnetism Andre Danjon, (11) Gribbin and Plagemann (12) presented empirical evidence that large solar flares slowed the Earth's velocity of rotation temporarily. Juergens (13) explained that this additional charge acted as the braking mechanism by changing the Earth's polar moment of inertia. Left unexplained was the force responsible for the reacceleration. Since there was no gravitational explanation for this phenomenon, his explanation was ignored. Nevertheless, the mechanism for the reacceleration is electromagnetic force. Figure 1. The Sun, Earth and Venus seen from Above Celestial electromagnetic fields in charged space repel each other. All ...
379. The Electro-gravitic Theory Of Celestial Motion [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of celestial bodies, this is what I believe I have found. What follows is my research into the above questions. ROTATION BY ELECTROMAGNETISM Andre Danjon,3 Gribbin and Plagemann 4 reported that large solar flares ejected toward the Earth slowed our planet's rotation temporarily. Juergens explained that this additional charge acted as a breaking mechanism by changing the Earth's polar moment of inertia.5 But to reaccelerate the Earth's rotation back to its former velocity also requires a force to do this. I suggest that force is magnetism. When the weaker planetary magnetic field encounters the immensely stronger solar field the solar field repels the weaker field, but most strongly on one side of the planet, where the ...

... twigs, rocks, leaves of trees, with ' .. . bones of antediluvian quadrupeds with vegetable remains'. These were mixed with loam and fine sand and he concluded that they had been ' .. . deposited by waters which at one time, and it may be presumed suddenly, overflowed the whole country as far as the Polar Sea' [38]. Two other early explorers, Sannikov and Hedenstrm, visited the New Siberian Islands in 1806, when they closely observed the remnants of enormous ancient forests which had grown there, since some of the trees were still rooted in situ, whilst others, although recumbent, were frozen immovably into the ground. Veritable ...
