... weapon the tiger tore the flesh of his prey. The animal remains are crowded together in the asphalt pit in an unbelievable agglomeration. In the first excavation carried on by the University of California "a bed of bones was encountered in which the number of sabre-tooth and wolf skulls together averaged twenty per cubic yard."2 No fewer than seven hundred skulls of the sabre-toothed tiger have been recovered.3 Among other animals unearthed in this pit were bison, horses, camels, sloths, mammoths, mastodons, and also birds, including peacocks. In the time following the discovery of America this region of the coast was rather sparsely populated with animals; early immigrants found only " ...

... of the Ice Age was not changed when subsequent examination of records indicated that since 1764 the falls had retreated from Lake Ontario toward Lake Erie at the rate of five feet per year, and that, if the process of wearing down the rock had gone on at the same rate from the time of the retreat of the ice cover, seven thousand years would have been sufficient to do the work. However, since in the beginning, when the ice melted and a swollen stream carried the detritus abrading the rock of the gorge, the erosion rate must have been much more rapid, the age of the gorge must be further reduced. According to G. F. Wright ...
453. Focus Overseas [Journals] [SIS Review]
... o Prof. Warner Sizemore, Glassboro State College, Glassboro N.J . 08028. "The only journal of its kind: Devoted to the study of the work of Immanuel Velikovsky." Vol. 2, No. 3 of Kronos has appeared since our last issue went to press, and contains, besides various short items, seven articles covering the usual wide range of disciplines. On the Convection of Electric Charge by the Rotating Earth offers further thoughts by Ralph Juergens on the role of electricity during interplanetary encounters. Assuming a charged earth in an electrified cosmos, Juergens indicates how an increase in this charge could lead to a slowing down in the earth's rotation, which ...
454. Some Preliminary Remarks About Thera and Atlantis [Journals] [Kronos]
... the Exodus either. The ancient calculation of his date was made under the assumption that the Trojan War was fought in the early 12th century B.C ., since, combining statements from Hesiod (Catal. 1-13) and Homer (Iliad 6.153-206), our most ancient sources, Deucalion lived six generations earlier than Nestor and seven generations earlier than Glaukos and Nestor's son Antilochos, all of whom fought at Troy. Velikovsky would bring that war down to the 8th century B.C . (i .e ., shortly before Hesiod's and Homer's time, if there ever was such a war); hence Deucalion would also need to be downdated. Furthermore, ...

... arrive at his conservative conclusions nor what is their technical significance for science. Her pacemaking investigations were cut short by the gas chamber at Auschwitz. One of the precursors of Velikovsky as to the general thesis of the catastrophic past of the earth, to whom he refers in his work, was William Whiston (1667-1752). In 1964, seven years after the first edition of Principia, Whiston, then a fellow of Cambridge University, became a devoted pupil of Newton, and two years later submitted to his master the manuscript of a book entitled New Theory of the Earth. The book was intended to replace the then popular Theory of the Earth (1681) by Thomas Burnet ...

... the Society, and had its first meeting on 7th December. Its members are drawn from the Greater London area and south east England, and the chosen field of study is the historical aspect of the wide field of interdisciplinary work over which Dr Velikovsky's fertile mind has ranged. Sixteen members living in the catchment area have expressed an interest and seven were able to attend the first meeting, for which a member, Roy MacKinnon, kindly made his home available. Our main objectives at the first meeting were to establish the field of study, the objectives of research undertaken by members, and how we should tackle them. It was accepted that the main interest should initially be focussed ...

... sea up "after the manner of Egypt," as on the day of the crossing of the Red Sea (10:26). "And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand [sign] over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams" (11:15). Nor will Palestine be spared. "He shall shake his hand [sign] against . . . the hill of Jerusalem" (10:32). Thus, a war of the heavenly host, commanded by the Lord, was proclaimed against the nations of the earth. And We ...
... a number of meteors crossed the earth's path because almost simultaneously a tremendous cyclone struck the Bay of Genoa, executing severe damage, and a tornado in the Atlantic, off the east coast of the United States, set up an enormous storm, wrecked hundreds of houses, and killed many people. (Daily Express, October 27.) Seven transatlantic liners arrived in New York from one to four days late owing to the storm. On the 26th England felt the repercussion of these events, for gigantic seas swept the coast and did great damage, among other matters breaching a hole in the Sidmouth sea-wall with the result that hundreds of tons of the promenade were washed away. ...

... United States." Mountains were rising, folding, and over-thrusting, in the so called Taconian disturbance. This was accompanied by volcanic activity. Ash fell from Alabama to New York, "and even as far west as Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa." The ash beds vary in thickness from a few inches up to more than seven feet. "The greatest display of volcanic activity, however, is found farther to the northeast, in Quebec and Newfoundland," where volcanic tuff of great thickness represents the epoch. At the same time coral reefs were built in arctic Canada, from Alaska to Manitoba, as well as in Newfoundland and northern Greenland. Indications of ...

... all these events, and in the same sequence, were found to have occurred in the middle of the second millennium before the present era. The Indians of the Chewkee tribe on the Gulf Coast tell: "It was too hot. The sun was put a handbreadth' higher in the air, but it was still too hot. Seven times the sun was lifted higher and higher under the sky arch, until it became cooler."(97) In eastern Africa we can trace the same tradition. "In very old times the sky was very close to the earth."(98) The Kaska tribe in the interior of British Columbia relate: "Once ...
