... reported that] "any one who did not know the way" by which the caravan passed "would only have to follow the bones which lie right and left of the track". Negroes were also brought to Morocco from the western Sudan and from Timbuktu. "The center of the traffic in Morocco was Sidi Hamed ibn Musa, seven days' journey south of Mogador, where a great yearly fair was held. The slaves were forwarded thence in groups to different towns, especially to Marrakesh, Fez and Mequrnez." The sultan levied an ad valorem duty on the slave trade. From Morocco, French, Portuguese, British and other ships carried the purchased slaves to ...
472. A Classroom Experiment [Journals] [Pensee]
... only prerequisite for registration was satisfactory completion, by each student, of at least one advanced course in his major. It was not the objective of this interim course to convince the students of the correctness of Velikovsky's ideas, but to expose them to the controversy surrounding the man and his work. To help this process along, I invited seven faculty representing six different disciplines, to meet with the group one at a time, to discuss whatever topics or deal with whatever questions the students might wish to raise relative to the issue. Further, I required each student to prepare, at the end of the month, a critique on a topic of his own choosing, but ...
473. Master Of Fieldwork: Come See For Yourself. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... at the very time when the Old Kingdom of Egypt went down under the blows of nature. In this catastrophe cities were ruined one and all, empires ceased to exist, trade stopped entirely, civilizations were entombed, populations decimated- by earthquakes, ubiquitous fire, and epidemics- and the climate suddenly changed. Schaeffer found that there were six or seven crises during the history of the ancient East caused by catastrophes in nature; the cause of these great convulsions of nature remained unknown to Schaeffer. He realized that the area of destruction must have been much larger than the Middle East. I came into possession of Stratigraphie comparée soon after the publication of Ages in Chaos, volume I, ...
474. Straka: Science or Anti-Science? [Journals] [Pensee]
... substances, water included, would exhibit varying consistencies through such a temperature range. (In a letter to a Princeton friend, Kaplan expressed surprise at the violence of the opposition to his finds and conjectures. Perhaps he realized later that it had to do with Worlds in Collision, where Velikovsky anticipated organic substance in Venus' clouds.) Seven years later, on the basis of laboratory research, Professor William T. Plummer contested Velikovsky's and NASA's original view (Science, March 14, 1969). Straka accuses Pensée of deception concerning the presence of hydrocarbons in Venus' clouds, but Plummer's opposition was reported in "A Record of Success," (Pensée, May, ...
475. When Was the Lunar Surface Last Molten? [Journals] [Pensee]
... be found captured in the lunar rocks, having originated in an external source (Martian atmosphere); further, the abundance in which these noble gases would be found would lead to wrong, even bizarre, conclusions about the age of the lunar rocks. Actually rich inclusions of both argon and neon were found in lunar material. Ages of seven billion and even 20 billion years were deduced, estimates that exceed the accepted age of the universe. Then it was claimed that much of the argon-40 arrived in the solar wind, though previously only atoms of hydrogen and helium were thought to be present in the wind (plasma). It was retorted that the solar wind cannot possibly ...
476. Planets In Dreams And Anxiety. Ch.6 Dreams And Hallucinations (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... gave there a few years ago, a group of faculty members entertained me with a meal and conversation: "Some time ago you expressed interest in a dream of mine that I recounted in the course of a dinner table conversation. The dream took place, to the best of my recollection, when I was six and a half or seven years old (i .e ., late 1920 or in the course of 1921)...In the dream I was in the yard of our house late at night; with great awe and fear I watched the heavens where there was no moon but where the heavenly bodies, larger than normal, swarmed angrily' or ...
477. Tornado. Ch.6 Dreams And Hallucinations (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... are total and it is this aspect that is the most intolerable. The only relief possible is rage directed against anyone, anything, blameable for any reason, no matter how unconnected to the source of the threat... "I've watched closely the reactions, attitudes, of others in this climate to the approach of bad weather. Seven years ago a tornado did devastate this town, and since then there have been numerous alerts. So, the people pretty much know the odds, the effects, the behavior of such storms. They know, as do I, that with radar and warning sirens, unless you are alone and crippled, safety is assured. Yet ...
478. Mona Lisa And The Antarctic. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... Geophysical Year, since coming directly from me, they would be disregarded. He agreed. Upon reading Hess's paper I wrote a constructive, in parts unsparing, criticism and sent it to him "for whatever it is worth" together with a list of measurements and tests for inclusion into the program of the IGY, which was to start seven months later.(1 ) I mailed my letter on December 5, 1956. Professor Hess proved to be a man who could take criticism even from an outsider. On January 2 he wrote me: "Your comments on guyots are acute. You have put your finger on most of the deficiencies of my hypothesis as it stood ...

480. Man Landing On The Moon. Ch.7 Chronicle Of Our Time (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... ? When in December 1968 the Apollo 8 crew was circumnavigating the Moon, one of the crew read to all the awe-stricken earthlings who followed their flight: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep..." Seven months later another crew was on a mission to touch the Moon, plant human feet on her, bring back of her divine body- of a goddess of all ancient creeds. The entire population of the Earth with access to television watched Neil Armstrong step on the Moon, and man- all the family of man- felt a ...
