... mini-crater could have achieved the velocities required to propel it into orbit.) Needless to say, none of this can dispel the one remaining problem that of the age of the tektites. Although George Baker has argued that the australites cannot be more than 5,000 years old,(26) other samples have been dated at anything from seven hundred thousand(27) to twenty million years.(28) Such an antiquity would chronologically remove the tektites out of range of Velikovsky's cosmic catastrophes. The ancients, who revered tektites as magical stones, however, insisted that these gems had fallen from the sky. Known as "fire pearls," these stones were also believed ...
482. Velikovsky: A Personal Chronological Perspective of His Final Years [Journals] [Aeon]
... that I had wanted to write an article for Industrial Research about Velikovsky, but the then editor, Albert Plant, suggested something from the good doctor instead, and acquiescing to his superior wisdom thought that Velikovsky's lecture at Ames would be appropriate. The editor received a copy of the transcript, liked the flavor of it, and reserved some seven and a half pages of a forthcoming issue for the article and accompanying artwork. But, when Velikovsky received a copy of the transcript, he was thoroughly unhappy with it and didn't want to spend the time correcting and rewriting it. For one thing, Velikovsky understandably didn't want to sacrifice good sentence construction for "flavor." Instead ...

... wall www.chinapost.com.tw/detail.asp?ID=32604&GRP=A Archaeologists announce discovery of underwater man-made wall. 2002/11/26. The China Post staff. Underwater archaeologists yesterday announced the discovery of a man-made wall submerged under the waters of the Pescadores Islands that could be at least six and seven thousand years old. Steve Shieh, the head of the planning committee for the Taiwan Underwater Archaeology Institute, said the wall was discovered to the northwest of Tong-chi Island in the Pescadores towards the end of September. ...
484. The Role of Collective Amnesia in Retarding the Acceptance of Correct Ideas in Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... Holy Scripture testifies, Joshua ordered the sun to stand still, not the earth!" The Copernican theory was, as its author saw in advance, silenced for almost a hundred years; scientists were afraid to study or to teach it - the only exception being Giordano Bruno. After nine months in the dungeon of the Venetian Inquisition and seven years in the cell of the Roman Inquisition, Bruno was burned at the stake in Rome for his denial of the Immaculate Conception - a theological heresy - and for his teaching of the Copernican theory, which he extended by claiming the plurality of worlds. For Bruno, the fixed stars were not lights attached to an enormous sphere that ...
485. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... b ) any person or institutional body admitted to membership in accordance with these by-laws." By-Law 3, which deals with associate membership, would be conferred on "any person normally resident outside Europe". By-Law 31 would now read: "Any member of the Society shall be eligible for election to the Council, but a minimum of seven Council members must normally be resident in the United Kingdom ." The above amendments were approved on a motion proposed by Peter James and seconded by Val Pearce. The Annual General Meeting was followed by a slide presentation by Nick Thorpe, showing the megalithic sites which will be visited next summer by participants in the tour. This preceded his ...
486. Culture Heroes (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... Bochica banished from the Earth his evil wife Huythaca, Chia, or Yubecaguaya, who had caused the waters to rise so suddenly that only a few people were able to reach the mountain peaks, and changed her into the Moon. Votan, the legendary creator of Maya culture, came into the country from the east, bringing with him seven families. Quetzalcoatl, the culture hero of the Mexicans, landed near Panuko, on the eastern coast of Mexico. The Loucheux say that at the time of the flood a godlike man came to them from the Moon, whither he returned again after some time. To turn to the eastern hemisphere, we read in Schliemann's translation of ...
487. A Question of Logic [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... in the beginning of the ninth century, B.C . What is Velikovsky's chronology for the latter portion of this dynasty? His theses and books should be able to supply the answer. A Dynastic Problem I note that the Eighteenth Dynasty ends about 830 B.C .1 and that the reigns of Akhnaton are seventeen years, Tutankhamun seven/eight years,2 and Ay unspecified (traditionally four). A count back yields: Ay about -833 to 830 Tutankhamun about -839 to 833 Akhnaton about -855 to 839 While no reign length is ascribed to Amunhotep Ill, his normal thirty-six or more years is inferred. This of itself takes one back to about -881. Thesis ...
488. The Danunians and the Velikovsky Revision [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... see the connection between the fourteenth century and ninth-eighth century. Astour, who probably never heard of the Velikovsky Revision, makes an astounding statement. He wrote: "We have seen that in XVth-XIVth centuries the Hittites called Eastern Cilicia "Land of Adaniya," the Phoenicians (Abimilki) called it Danuna (just like Asitawandas' bilingual inscription seven or eight centuries later), and the Egyptians had their own name for it- Qode (in the new-Assyrian epoch too, the country was known in more remote regions as Que).10 I must mention here that I worked this summer in Israel at a site called in Hebrew Tel Dan and in Arabic Tell el Qadi ( ...

... has attempted, no one is in a position to judge his correctness in each of the fields." Fadiman noted: "Isn't his method- I'm not talking about his results- isn't the method fairly similar to that which Darwin used in The Origin of Species?" Goldsmith agreed. Fadiman continued: "Darwin drew his proofs from at least seven or eight sciences as they were constituted in his day and always drew upon the material which seemed to prove his thesis." To this Barzun remarked that in Darwin's days the natural philosopher was more likely to be familiar with half a dozen fields than he is today and that there were also plenty of people to tell him where he ...
490. The Birth of Vahagn: An Armenian Vision of Celestial Catastrophe? [Journals] [Kronos]
... suns." Velikovsky postulated that Mars came close enough for its two moons to be visible but this could be a description of surface eruptions on the face of Mars, itself. More likely, though, it is merely a poetic description for the same was said of the eyes of Agni, Horus, and other deities. The above seven suggestions are merely an attempt to interpret the birth of Vahagn-Mars-Venus in accordance with the theory of "natural revolution" involving celestial catastrophes as put forth by Immanuel Velikovsky. Have we here, indeed, merely a mythological account of "the miraculous birth of the one universal fire stolen from the sun" as Ananikian suggests, or is it ...
