... south. Lastly, there would have been not only a southerly backflow but, where this backflow encountered high mountain ranges, one would expect a second northward counterflow toward the Arctic Ocean. That this analysis of these sedimentary materials is confirmed by the evidence will be outlined below as a form of proof that great global deluges occurred in historic and prehistoric times. Before proceeding, it should also be noted that, although this paper deals with geophysical evidence, there are numerous ancient legendary and historical documents that speak of one of these global floods. Several authors and scientists of the past discussed this, of whom the first may have been William Whiston in New Theory of the Earth, ...
382. The Mars Mystery: The Secret Connection Between Earth and the Red Planet by Graham Hancock [Journals] [Aeon]
... Snorri Sturluson, since 1178 was the year of his birth). And, speaking of mythology, we ourselves are left with a richly vast heritage of global legends that bespeak sky gods who came to visit and instruct mankind in the arts and sciences and left again. There are those who think that the Mars devastation had actually occurred during prehistoric time, but well within the memory of mankind, and that these entities may have come from Mars to escape the catastrophe. Despite a flurry of highborne speculation, Hancock seems reluctant, even hesitant- as if he had a sudden attack of cautious conservatism- to admit that the Martian plain of Cydonia may be home to pyramidal artifacts ...
383. Deluges [Books] [de Grazia books]
... descended. Jordan was not concerned with the speed of drop or the basins required to collect the waters or with the recency of the translation from sky to Earth. However, the skydrops may not have been so long ago. Rich and specific traditions of great celestial waters and deluging of the whole earth convey a strong presumption of truth. Prehistoric floods are believed in by many peoples who have suffered in historical times floods of only trivial consequences. Not even psychoanalytic theory, which is the most penetrating critic of delusions, can locate a psychic source of the flood complex; the waters of the sac in which we all swam in embryo are believed to have been a soothing, ...
384. Dr. Robert Schoch: Voices of the Rocks [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... , Schoch was troubled to find evidence of a much greater age than the 4,500 years suggested by Egyptologists. This led him to examine the possibility of a lost civilization dating back to at least 10,000 B.C . Looking at linguistic, geological, and archaeological evidence from around the world, he proposes an outline of prehistory that differs markedly from our received wisdom- after all, if the Lascaux cave paintings really are star maps, then we've got a lot of catching up to do. Schoch's willingness to dismiss implausible evidence and to use Occam's razor to cut away unnecessary complications is admirable and refreshing in a field in which credulity pays and skepticism is viewed with ...
385. Predicting the Past [Journals] [Aeon]
... Astronomers have written books about how asteroid and comet impacts destroyed past civilizations and threaten our present one. Experts in the field of dendrochronology have concluded that tree-ring data show steep environmental downturns within historical times, and that these events seem to be tied to celestial phenomena. The present work is a summation of Roger Wescott's thoughts regarding mythology, human prehistory, and catastrophism. Not only are the ideas presented in this work incendiary; they are also educative. But, beyond its considerable value for enlightenment, entertainment, and education, this book is also a tool of therapy. Wescott is, in every possible sense, reminding us of something we have lost and forgotten. As a ...
386. The Ruined Face of a Classic Beauty [Books] [de Grazia books]
... and gravitationally induced heating such as occurred in the Love Affair would have greatly reduced the rubidium present in the tested rocks. Velikovsky and Wright [7 ] are not alone in their criticism of these tests. We cannot close these brief passages without referring to the brilliant critique offered of these and other clocks by Melvin Cook in his book, Prehistory and Earth Models 1966. In brief, what York regarded as impossible was true. "There is something seriously wrong with the radioactive clocks..." [8 ] The one test that Velikovsky asked for was to determine the degree of thermoluminescence of lunar surface cores extracted at about three feet of depth to avoid contamination of the ...
387. The Extinction of the Mammoth by Charles Ginenthal (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... date of around 3,500 years ago. If during the previous 5,000 years the northern forests were at a lower latitude, the Saharan region should have been at a higher latitude and therefore more temperate - and all the evidence is that the Sahara was indeed a fertile area with abundant flora and fauna and inhabited by flourishing late prehistoric cultures. A sudden climate change to its present desert condition around 3,000 years ago indicates a shift towards a more equatorial position. Even the erosion of the Sphinx appears to corroborate a sudden change of climate from wet to dry during ancient Egyptian history, around 1500 BC, not as interpreted by some, following aspects of uniformitarian ...

... as evidence of extra-terrestrial activity. A clear and responsible course can be devised for steering us through this confusing period and much additional work can be done to continue the work already in progress. But communications must be established between very diverse groups and thinkers and a major statement of the events of pre-history must be released before we can transform this prehistory into a valid and comprehendible planetary history. \cdrom\pubs\journals\kronos\vol0304\045catas.htm ...

... at the end of the Bronze age may be a case in point, with the Sea People being mostly squatters and refugees. 14:30 Dr Euan MacKie, Glasgow University The End of The Upper Palaeolithic In The Dordogne And The Vitrified Forts' of Scotland Whilst it is well understood that disasters caused by extra-terrestrial agents really did occur in prehistoric times, some major site will have to yield positive evidence in favour. In other words, the theory will have to make a fundamentally important prediction about a specific site which will have to be tested and found to be correct. If that happens, it will be possible to look at some other archaeological sites which cannot by themselves ...
