Just as in tree-ring dating (dendrochronology), the technique of dating ice cores is really part science, part art. The age of the ice can not be measured directly - it can only be inferred from its layering and variations in composition; this is not an easy task ...

... and infinite outer world where ruled the Infinite King. We find that opening called the seat of the Great Judge. The Temple, the Palace, the Castle, the Rock, and a hundred other names, and in every case we will find its nominal meaning to link it to the all- sacred spot in the northern sky, which ... western canopy. Every belt and band was palmated on the curved heavens at the pole, and it was most fittingly stamped with the curve now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and like many other testimonials of a lost environment, has its true fossil meaning in its peculiar form. There are some peculiar customs of ...

To Velikovsky, Freud's "dark water," "black rock," and "white flowers" symbolized baptismal water, Judaism, and Christianity.

It is also unusual for any psychoanalyst, Freudian, Stekelian, or other, to virtually ignore as did Velikovsky "the rare cases of sexual symbolism in the art of interpreting dreams in the book of Berakoth." One example should suffice: A certain Min said to R. Ishmael: I saw myself [in a dream ...
... maximus" as Fr. Athanasius Kircher describes it in his fascinating folio "Mundus Subterraneus." According to Kircher, it was supposed that every whirlpool formed around a central rock: a great cavern opened beneath; down this cavern the water rushed; the whirling was produced as in a basin emptying through a central hole. Kircher gives a ... who rulest over gods and man, loudly hast thou thundered from the starry sky, yet nowhere is there a cloud to be seen: this is surely a portent thou art showing to some mortal.

Certainly, there are stories of fish talking, or spiders, or even rocks and statues, not to mention mirrors.
