... both pro- and anti-catastrophism. Members have been able to follow developments as they have occurred, especially in the Monitor' section of Workshop, but also in book reviews and feature articles. Following on the success of the 1993 Cambridge Conference (detailing historical episodes of catastrophe), a second conference (concerned with catastrophes of extraterrestrial origin during prehistoric times) is being organised for 1997. In preparation for this event, SIS and Nottingham Trent University have jointly published Prof. Trevor Palmer's book Catastrophism, Neocatastrophism and Evolution (1994, 110pp.).

402. Emperor Yahou, Part 1 Venus Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... before the present era, but this date has been questioned by many. Sometimes it has also been supposed that the "Flood of Yahou" was the Chinese story of the universal flood, but this point of view has been abandoned. The story of the deluge of Noah has its parallel in a Chinese tradition about a universal flood in prehistoric times, in the days of Fo-hi, who alone of all the country was saved. The flood of Yahou is sometimes regarded as simultaneous with the flood of Ogyges. The flood of Ogyges did not occur in the third millennium, but in the middle of the second millennium before this era. In the section entitled "The Floods ...
403. An Appendix to My Articles on Hatshepsut and Thutmose III [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Egyptian chronology in "resetting" the radiocarbon clock.) Blair wisely concludes: "I ask scholars and archaeologists to be willing to sit loose, for instance, to supposedly establishing dating, while they allow the natural scientists to pursue their way objectively without presuppositions... Meanwhile Velikovsky's parallels can be studied... while chronology and prehistory remain sub judice. It may well be found that more problems will be solved by studying the improbable than by being fundamentalist about traditional time scales." One can only agree - and also hope that the trend begun by the Annual Egyptological Bibliography and Studia Evangelica towards dispassionate reporting of attempts to revise ancient chronology will continue. \cdrom ...
404. Seismology, Catastrophe, and Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... documents? Even if admitted that the catastrophes by themselves and the immediately following weeks and months were not appropriate times for writing down some records of upheavals, it would be highly unlikely that the Ancient World would let these events pass without making some reference to them in contemporary documents or in the writings of succeeding generations. It was not a prehistoric time; the art of writing was developed; and the description of things that took place must have been left on clay, stone, or papyrus. Here was the side of the field from which I had started. Having found in the Scriptures descriptions of events that took place in Egypt and in the nearby desert, I legitimately ...

406. Sun, Moon, and Sothis: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt by Lynn E. Rose [Journals] [Aeon]
... ' extraordinary flights of royal profusion with reigns extending into thousands of years.) At any rate, the Sothic period has become the meter-stick par excellence for our contemporary historians to measure Egyptian regnal history into the dim and distant past, and the more times it was applied the more ancient the civilizations became, until ultimately we encounter an eldritch prehistory with no chronicles of any prior existence. We find a concatenation of oddities. We find too many anomalies in art and architecture, such as the 26th Dynasty of the New Kingdom seemingly continuing or emulating styles from the 12th Dynasty of the Middle Kingdom. We find too many ephemeral dynasties, haunting the king-lists with transitory pharaohs that seem ...
407. Editor's Notes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the stratigraphic record. The need for an accurate methodology of verifying the actual cause, extent and synchrony of Bronze Age destructions is therefore essential. Astronomy Research in the field of astronomical neo-catastrophism and impact cratering has quickened its pace since the early 1980s. An increasing number of astronomers have suggested that a series of cosmic disasters punctuated the Earth in prehistoric times. Scholars such as Victor Clube, Bill Napier, Mark Bailey, Sir Fred Hoyle, David Asher and Duncan Steel claim that a more active' and threatening sky might have caused major cultural changes of Bronze Age civilisations, belief systems and religious rituals. Can the astronomical evidence brought forward by these astronomers be substantiated by historical, ...
408. The Dragon in China and Japan by M. W. VISSER [Books]
... foetus, used as medicines Among the nine ingredients of spectre-killing pills, mentioned by De GROOT,160 we find "Dragon's bones", "certain fossil bones, to be found in the shops of leading apothecaries". There is, indeed, an extensive medical literature on the curative power of these bones, which are probably remains of prehistoric animals. The Pen-ts'ao kung muh 161 is, its in all medical matters, the best source of our knowledge about these bones and the use made, of them by the Chinese physicians. According to some of the authors, referred to by LI SHI-CHEN, the learned author of this medical standard work, dragon's bones are cast-off skins ...
409. Myths, Monuments, and Mnemonics [Journals] [Horus]
... past comes into view. The time when language, counting, and a form of writing first appeared has been pushed back to the dawn of the species. Controlled agriculture and established trade routes developed earlier than had been expected. The measurement of time and the seasons by astronomical cycles and some form of astral worship also seem to have remote prehistoric roots. The flowering to full civilization was not the sudden process it has been perceived to be. The basic form and practices of early civilization were in progress thousands of years before the first pyramids were built. Gone is the image of grunting ancestors in the caves. In their place stand people fully humanized with complex speech and formal ...

... of them still had food in the mouth, which the animal was eating at the moment of its death.17 Undigested food was also found in the stomach. Many more carcasses must have come to light during the Siberian summers, but were never discovered, or were only found after putrefaction was completed and only skeletons left. Millions of prehistoric mammal skeletons must exist in Siberia: it has long been known that the Chinese and Middle East ivories of Antiquity were made from tusks found in the Siberian steppes. Inside the Arctic Circle, the New Siberian Islands, Novaya Zemlya, etc., reveal huge masses of bones of mammoths, rhinoceroses, buffaloes, horses, and other ...
