... .(64) Ellenberger further adds that "unlike the mammoth, no hoofed grazing animals in the arctic today have shaggy leg hair which would interfere with movement through snow". But, on the contrary, such leg-hair would be an encumbrance only to very small animals, not those approaching the size of a mammoth. Indeed, the polar bear, which in some instances is considered a grazing animal, does not seem encumbered by its "shaggy leg hair".(65) The mammoth's huge feet would have been advantageous in an icy terrain. Furthermore, the deep red coloration that freshly sliced mammoth muscle is said to exhibit, suggests that it was rich in myoglobin ...
392. Poleshifts, Catastrophes, And Myths [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... "the Earth had anciently been in another position." The theory presented in this book is that the Ice Age ended not 10,000 years ago, as uniformitarians and some catastrophists propose, but that it ended with the onset of the hipsithermal, as Velikovsky claims, about 8,500 years ago, when a catastrophe caused the polar axis to move perpendicularly to the Earth's orbital plane. Up until about 3,500 years ago, the Earth experienced a Golden Age described in the mythology of the human race. That is, the hipsithermal was the Golden Age, but ended, according to Velikovsky, about 3,500 years ago during a catastrophe created by the ...
393. William H. Stiebing, Jr., and Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... ago, if they were formed in astronomically ancient times. The fact that they have not settled suggests that these are very young, geological features. And it is odd that Sagan should have raised this issue, since he was the one who showed that Venus' topography could not be supported even if its crust was thick! MARS' POLAR CAPS Stiebing's last claim against Velikovsky is that "the evidence for the composition of the polar caps of Mars seems to contradict Velikovsky's claims about them." (75) What Velikovsky suggested is that carbohydrates are mixed in with the water and carbon dioxide ices in the martian polar caps. Now, when Sagan raised this question in 1974 ...
394. The Nature and Scale of an Exodus Catastrophe Reassessed [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the solar system - a new comet - came very close to the earth. ". .. Mountains fell and others rose from level ground; the earth with its oceans and continents became heated; the sea boiled in many places and rock liquefied; volcanoes ignited and forests burned. "The length of the day altered; the polar regions shifted, the polar ice became displaced into moderate latitudes, and other regions moved into the polar circles." In these and other passages in Worlds in Collision, Immanuel Velikovsky boldly sketched the cosmic drama which he believed engulfed the Earth in the 15th century BC (Velikovsky 1950: 60, 55, 361). The Old ...
395. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... statue menhir found on the island, which has been erected at the most famous site of Filitosa. This last also bore a dagger, which was worn diagonally and was in proportion to the whole. It appeared to me that the sword' could never have been a representation of a human weapon but perfectly fitted the sword associated with the polar column surmounted by crescent of the polar configuration' theory. The faces would then be that of the fixed polar god and the north-south orientation of the alignments self explanatory. Most of these stones and alignments are in the south but I did see one simple carved menhir in the north and it was interesting to see what the post-Christian inhabitants ...
396. The Milankovitch Theory of the Ice Ages [Journals] [Kronos]
... the other factors that the Milankovitch theory relies upon - the orbital eccentricity, the precession, and the advancement of perihelion all suggest that there should be long-term differences between the two hemispheres. How, then, can the status of the two hemispheres remain virtually the same? It is as if an ice age were not a merely hemispheric or polar phenomenon, but rather a result of factors operative on a global scale. Broecker, "The Cause of Glacial to Interglacial Climatic Change", in Evolution des Atmospheres Planetaires et Climatologie de la Terre (1979), page 175, calls this "a fly in the insolation ointment". Mercer, referring to Broecker, speaks of ...
397. Ice Cores and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a day at the Equator, and nil at the two Poles, this deuterium together with dust, volcanic ash, rare gases, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, lead from petrol and radioactive materials settle by a kind of centrifugal force at the Poles in the form of dirty snowflakes. The impurities serve as snow nuclei. Because of the polar climate this snow does not all melt away and is covered by next year's dirty snow. Over time the snow layers are compressed and become polar ice over 2000 metres thick down to bedrock and in blocks hundreds of kilometres in area. Counting over the past 7000 years is thus remarkably accurate. At greater depths, which are of interest ...

... could not bring himself to present from that book: "Sooner than I [i .e . Mallery] could have thought possible, confirmation of my analysis of the map (at least the portion showing Greenland) came from an authority in the science of determining subglacial topography by seismic soundings. The authority was Paul-Emile Victor, whose French Polar Expeditions explored Greenland from 1948 to 1951. An Associated Press news dispatch announced on October 26,1951, months after I had published my analysis of the map, the following discovery of the Victor expedition: A French expedition reported this week that Greenland is really three islands [as Mallery showed on page 196, The Rediscovery of Lost ...
