... metres and, for latitudes less than 70 degrees, an overall melt rate of 20 metres per year, most of the ice sheets would have melted in less than 25 years, leaving only glaciers. An increase in the Earth's axis tilt, producing colder winters and warmer summers, would have greatly accelerated the process of melting. If the radiocarbon chronology of the Pleistocene is calibrated in line with historical time, this event may be dated to c.2700 BC, or about 150 years before Egypt's 1st Dynasty [78]. The cause of the Earth's keeling over is now impossible to determine. An asteroidal impact may be discounted on the grounds that an asteroid of the requisite ...
382. A Cosmic Debate [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , its several parts, which may or may not be necessarily related. There are historical techniques where no documentation exists and even the chain of memorial generations becomes broken. Datings are then made by examining the stratification of fossils and human products below the ground. Here, and far beyond, extend the working of chemical clocks, such as radiocarbon dating, potassium-argon dating, and so forth. Geological and archaeological dating are achieved by the penetration of strata of earth and the remains of cultures, and assigning a later date to what is above something else. Archaeology has not sufficiently considered the causes of sudden destruction of ancient civilizations, and therefore has made many mistakes of time, ...
383. Introduction to the Proceedings [Journals] [SIS Review]
... foundation for the "absolute" dating of the Egyptian pharaohs by means of astronomically determined "Sothic dates", and goes on to suggest that Velikovsky's case that the Egyptian calendar was tied to the synodic period of Venus, rather than the heliacal risings of Sirius, is a plausible one which merits serious consideration. Dr MacKie's examination of "Radiocarbon Dating and Egyptian Chronology" concludes that though the present results tend to favour the conventional chronology, the element of uncertainty which underlies the method precludes firm conclusions on this evidence. The two final papers, by Dr Roy and Dr Robert W. Bass, address themselves to a pivotal argument in the continuing debate surrounding Velikovsky's cosmology - the ...
384. Bronze Age Multi-Site Destructions (A Preliminary Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ]: although there is no proof that these site desertions were contemporary with one another, it seems probable. In my own theory, this change would be due to the Israelite Conquest [9 ]. The end of EB III is normally set about one Dynasty before the end of the Old Kingdom (a chronology partly influenced by high radiocarbon dates from Palestinian sites), but some authorities, including Schaeffer, have always put it right at the end of the Old Kingdom. The new third edition of Chronologies in Old World Archaeology [10] also adopts this position, citing a type of store jar found at Byblos and in Palestine and in late Sixth Dynasty tombs in ...

... p. 24]. The full efflorescence of cave painting, moreover, did not even occur until after 14,000 B.C . W. F. Libby (Pensée IV, Spring-Summer, 1973, p. 8) notes that "colored paintings of the Lascaux Cave in France are 16,000 years old" based upon radiocarbon dating. More important than the age of prehistoric art is the question of its meaning, if any. Why were paintings executed in caves in the first place? What role did these paintings play in the struggle between order and chaos and man's place in the universe? "Cosmos and chaos, gods and giants, lapiths and centaurs ...

387. The Quantavolutionary Scan [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ,500 years ago. The catastrophist conjectures about the fresh waters of the Gulf of Mexico. First, they could be the floodwaters of the suddenly destroyed ice cap, an inconceivably great deluge, perhaps tied into the practically complete resurfacing of the earth about 11,500 years ago. In 1974 the chemist John Anderson reports experiments indicating that radiocarbon activity, the chief present method of dating back to 50,000 years ago, was neither random nor constant. If the isotopes of radioactive carbon, for reasons yet unknown, decay sporadically or eccentrically, may not the method be unreliable? In 1973, chemist Harold Urey, a Nobel prizewinner, conjectures that a cometary encounter with ...
388. L. Sprague de Camp: Anatomy of a Zetetic [Journals] [Kronos]
... How would you like it if I started a journal to expose child-molesters, and announced a forthcoming essay about Marcello Truzzi? Would you call that "fair"? * * * Over the past quarter of a century, we have witnessed continual confirmation of Velikovsky's predictions; these predictions concern everything from the very high temperature of Venus to the radiocarbon age of artifacts from the tomb of King Tutankhamen, and everything from the fact that Jupiter gives off radio noise to the language (early Greek) in which the Linear B inscriptions were written. Why have Velikovsky's predictions turned out to be true, while the predictions based on orthodox theories have turned out to be ill-founded? The answer ...

(NOTE: In the last two mentioned sources, Velikovsky describes Saturn as having flared up as a short-lived stellar nova which automatically implies the "planet" to have been a stellar object.) 16.

390. Plato's Atlantis and Prehistoric Europe [Articles]
... The distribution of the so-called Megalithic civilisations actually agrees quite well with the description in the Timaeus which says that the Atlantean empire went as far as Italy and as far as North Africa. Although it is not shown on the map, you do find similar remains, pottery and otherwise, to the Megalithic cultures of Europe in North Africa. Radiocarbon dates for the Megalithic civilisation, as it were, show that the Europeans were well into a Chalcolithic period of metal working before the dynastic period in Egypt began, and there were contacts with Egypt even at this early date. A certain kind of ivory comb exists only at Los Millares in Southern Spain, which is here, and ...
