110 pages of results. 381. Problems for Rohl's New Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . Is Rohl trying to suggest that every single king who reigned at Sparta was a son of the preceding king? 2. How does Rohl explain the fact that genuine genealogies (as opposed to king-lists), such as the one linking Pythagoras to Hippasos of Samos, separate the time of the Dorian invasion from the Persian War by only seven generations - about 175 years, allowing for 25 years per generation? (see V. R. d'A. Desborough: The Greek Dark Ages [1972], p. 324). B. Egypt The problems faced in Egypt by Rohl's New Chronology are almost too numerous to list. However, as a matter of urgency, ...
382. Briefings [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in his statement that the thesis of orbital re-shuffling "outside the scientific community has attracted many supporters". And the article finally comes down against Velikovsky: although Jastrow notes that Velikovsky has been vindicated on three points - "Venus is hot; Jupiter emits radio noise; and the moon's rocks are magnetic" - he lists a sample of seven predictions which have "turned out to be false". All these, however. are "refuted" by dogma, assumption or circular reasoning. It may be that Jastrow is merely guarding his independence. For he also cites "a major scientific boner" committed by Sagan: see Bookshelf in this issue. Yet, reviewing Broca's ...
383. Review: New Insights into Antiquity - A Drawing Aside of the Veil, by R. Petersen [Journals] [SIS Review]
... read widely the work of many earlier and subsequent catastrophists. However, the insights he eventually reveals to the reader, after very definitely engendering an anticipated some surprise', failed entirely to delight' this reader. His first chapters take us to Mexico shortly after the Spanish conquest and deal in detail with the history of the search for the seven fabled cities of Cibola. All that was eventually found were the ruins known today as the Casa Grande on the Gila river and the Zuni Indians, who seemed to know nothing about the people who inhabited the ruins. A series of expertly engineered canals in the area do, however, indicate a past culture and the present level of ...
384. The Columbia Plateau. Ch.6 Mountains And Rifts (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... From "Earth in Upheaval" © 1955 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Columbia Plateau Great quantities of lava "flowed out in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, where some two hundred thousand square miles were covered to depths of hundreds and even several thousands of feet. The Snake River has cut the Seven Devils Canyon more than three thousand feet deep without reaching the bottom of the lavas."1 This enormous area, embracing all the Northern states between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific coast, was flooded with molten rock and metal pouring out of fissures torn in the ground. Certainly it does not look like a volcanic eruption of our days, and ...
385. Arabia. Ch.7 Deserts And Oceans (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... having taken place in 1253.3There were also, sometime in the past, numerous geysers all likewise extinct now. Twenty-eight fields of burned and broken stones, called harras, are found in Arabia, mostly in the western half of the great desert. Some single fields are one hundred miles in diameter and occupy an area of six or seven thousand square miles, stone lying close to stone, so densely packed that passage through the field is almost impossible.4 The stones are sharp-edged and scorched black. No volcanic eruption could have cast scorched stones over fields as large as the harras; neither would the stones from volcanoes have been so evenly spread. The absence, in ...
386. Effects of Atmospheric Dust on the Arcus Visionis [Journals] [Kronos]
... Sun increases with dust loading. When there is little dust in the atmosphere Venus may be visible on the horizon when the Sun is, say, five degrees below the horizon (arcus visionis = 5 ). However, with an increase in the dust load of the upper atmosphere it may be necessary for the Sun to be six or seven or more degrees below the horizon before Venus is visible. It is the intent of this paper to indicate qualitatively how upper atmospheric dust may increase the arcus visionis by using a simple model of dust loading and solar illumination of the atmosphere. The model is satisfactory for an observer looking in the direction of sunset or sunrise. SUNLIGHT SCATTERED ...
... is probably that band of stars round the ecliptic or round the equator to which I have referred, but he will only commit himself to the statement that it is a probable enough conjecture; other people believe that it was a reference to the Milky Way. I mention this to show how very difficult this inquiry really is. The "seven stars" are held by many to mean the Pleiades, and not the Great Bear; but this, I think, is very improbable. Much is to be hoped from the study of the Babylonian records in relation to the Egyptian ones. This is a point I shall return to in the sequel. In observing stars nowadays, ...
388. Troy. Ch.12 The Ruins Of The East (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... . After many wanderings that took him to Russia and California and the Far East, he settled in Greece, published his prediction of where he would find the city of the Iliad, and was met with jeers. But he soon succeeded in locating the legendary city in the Turkish village of Hissarlik.1 It had been built six or seven times and as many times destroyed. Schliemann took the rich city on the second lowest level to be the Troy of King Priam, which endured the siege and then succumbed to the Greeks, or Achaeans, warriors under Agamemnon. Later scholars have identified the second city as of a much earlier date, and declared the sixth city from ...
389. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Frozen Mammoths, to which a fact-filled chapter is devoted. White adds a further chapter on the possible existence of lost civilisations, particularly with respect to ancient maps which in some cases seem to show the Antarctic with ice-free coastlines and then moves on to a section headed "Prediction - What modern researchers have to say". The section comprises seven chapters, each summarizing and commenting upon the work of a different author. Readers of SISR will surely be familiar with the names of the first four of these, namely Hugh Auchinloss Brown, Charles Hapgood, Immanuel Velikovsky and Peter Warlow. These four, I think, merit the title "researchers", but since two of them ...
... bodies affecting the plane of the ecliptic. If these planes approach each other, the obliquity will be reduced; the present obliquity is something like 23 27'; we know that 5000 B.C . it was 24 22', nearly a degree more. A difference of 1 means, then, a difference of time of about seven thousand years. It may go down to something below 21 . Since the obliquity has been decreasing for many thousand years, a temple directed to the rising or setting sun at the solstice some thousands of years ago had a greater amplitude than it requires now. Plan of the Temple of Amen-Ra, Showing the Points Referred to in the ...
