... , in the 1950s Schaeffer and Velikovsky began a long correspondence, based on a mutual respect and a desire to arrive at the truth about ancient Near Eastern chronology, which continued until the latter's death in November 1979. In 1961, according to an account published in Pensée IVR VI of Velikovsky's persistent, but largely unsuccessful, attempts to secure radiocarbon analysis of Egyptian New Kingdom material as a means of validating his revised chronology, Schaeffer's help was enlisted in this campaign; but samples from Ras Shamra which they hoped to have tested were accidentally contaminated with tritium. During their long association they often differed but Schaeffer once expressed the opinion that, nevertheless, he had never doubted the honesty ...
262. ... in future issues [Journals] [SIS Review]
... on gravitation, but not for his revised chronology of the ancient world. How does his historical work compare with Velikovsky's? Ancient standing stones and other astronomical markers - does the evidence square with a uniformitarian or catastrophist picture of the past? Velikovsky's theory of cultural amnesia - Malcolm Lowery reviews its status as a new development in psychological speculation. Radiocarbon data, collected by Tom McCreery, indicates a major climatic and sea-level change, accompanied by a widespread marine transgression during the Holocene period. McCreery assesses the data and suggests that here, at last, may be the long-sought scientific evidence for the worldwide Deluge of mythology. The "Ages in Chaos" series - a retrospective assessment by ...
263. Speakers at the Conference [Journals] [SIS Review]
... As well as excavation reports and numerous articles in specialist and other journals, Dr MacKie's writings include books on prehistoric archaeology - Scotland: An Archaeological Guide (London, 1974), Science and Society in Prehistoric Britain (London, 1977) and The Megalith Builders (London, 1977) and notable contributions in the study of prehistoric astronomy, radiocarbon dating and the Velikovsky debate. He was a founding member of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies and, together with Professor Roy, was initiator of this Conference. DR ARCHIE ROY is well-known as an authority on celestial mechanics. He has lectured in the Department of Astronomy at Glasgow University since 1958, becoming a reader in 1973 and Professor ...
264. The Continuing Ica Mystery [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ). In southern Mexico at Acambaro models of dinosaurs occur in a vast collection (some 36,000 pieces) of ceramics, damned as "forgeries" in a case which reveals striking similarities to that of the Ica stones. American historian Professor Charles Hapgood* investigated the case and claimed to have witnessed the excavation of such models. Radiocarbon tests he arranged on organic material within the clay, and a thermoluminescence test on a ceramic piece, all gave results of the order of 3000 to 6000 years BP. Given the considerable problems inherent in the application of the methods, such results are far from conclusive, though they certainly suggest that more testing is in order. To ...
265. The Breaking Edge [Journals] [Pensee]
... what influenced both the C14 level and the climate around 775 B.C . is a most fascinating one. Its answer may throw new light upon the complex question of solar-terrestrial relationships and of climatic change in general. H. E. Suess, "The Three Causes of the Secular C14 Fluctuations, Their Amplitudes and Time Constants," Radiocarbon Variations and Absolute Chronology (Proceedings, 12th Nobel Symposium at Uppsala Univ., 1969), ed. Ingrid V. Olsson (Almquist and Wiksell, Stockholm, 1970), 602. According to Worlds in Collision (Part II, Chapter, "The Planet Mars"), the catastrophic events of the 8th century B. ...
266. A Life's Work? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... only pressure and temperature are involved in the process, with time neither necessary nor relevant as a factor. He quotes an interesting case where pit timbers in a Pennsylvania mine which was sealed to put out a fire were found to be coalified to the anthracite level when they were examined only ten years later. In the case of oil, radiocarbon dates often indicate ages of only a few thousand years and, as noted above, the observed geology of oilfields is hard to reconcile with uniformitarian thinking. Cook (p . 205) quotes Landes: "An extreme situation has been noted by Reed in the San Pedro and other oil fields of Argentina. There the only possible source ...
267. Editor's Notes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the century, the dating of Levantine chronology has come down by 2,000 years and even in conventional circles there are moves to reduce it further, despite the fact that this conflicts with Carbon 14 dating which raises dates. Bob Porter, who agrees with much of David Rohl's work, argued that because of the increasing conflict with calibrated radiocarbon dates, there is need for full publication of the dendrochronologies which have been used. Bob discussed Megiddo and also what has come to be known as Hezekiah's Tunnel', arguing that this has been wrongly identified and that Hezekiah built the older tunnel found nearby. Aidan Dodson outlined the difficulties posed for the New Chronology by development of Third ...
268. Society News. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... equivalent of the mythological hero Hercules and Merlin was the equivalent of Mercury in the myths of the Celts in Bronze Age Britain and that Stonehenge was built in that period, its circular form giving rise to the legend of Arthur's round table. There is much evidence to connect Bronze Age Britain with the Mycenaean world, evidence which was acceptable before radiocarbon dating, and removal of the Greek Dark Age realigns the Mycenaeans with 8th century BC Britain. The reason for the connection was the occurrence of copper and tin together in Cornwall, which had led to the development of bronze and Britain becoming the original source of this valuable metal. This was traded eastwards by sea, making the kings ...

... which for cattails is several hundred kilometers to the south."43 In H. H. Lamb's book, Climatic History and the Future, is a photograph of a tall stump of a spruce tree about a foot or more in diameter-and about four feet high, located on this peninsula. Lamb states... "The stump, radiocarbon dated about 4940 years (+ / - 140) B.P ., is seen still standing on a steep bank on the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula...which borders the Arctic Ocean.... This tree in what is now tundra shows wider growth rings than the nearest present-day spruce forest 80-100 km [50 to 62 miles] ...
270. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... History Study Group A meeting of the Ancient History Study Group was held at 12 Dorset Road, Merton Park, on Sunday 11th. May. The Group continued their discussion of Mesopotamian history and its relation to the revised chronology of the Ancient Near East. Peter James and John Milsom also told the group of their plans to collate all available radiocarbon dates of the 2nd and 1st millennia in the Near East and Aegean, and to run them through a computer programme to see if any general conclusions on chronology for this period could be reached. The next meeting will be held at 3 p.m . on Sunday 10th. August, at 11 Dulwich Court, Underhill Road, ...
