... Poopo, Lake Coipasa, and the salt-deserts of Coipasa and Uyuni. But this apparently inevitable conclusion is found to be impossible on looking closer into the matter. For the sheet of water on whose shore Tiahuanaco was situated has left a very distinct trace of its former presence: a strandline. And this strandline tells another, and a very strange, story. It has been carefully surveyed for a length of about 375 miles. And then it was established that it is not straight'. It was found that the Inter-Andean Sea of the Intermediate Level was not merely a Lake Titicaca of higher level extending far to the south, but that its level showed a slant of a ...
332. The Creation of the Earth -- the Third Account [Books]
... while here the Lord God is represented as actually making the various objects in this world. In this respect the Third Creation Account is closely' related to the Second Creation Account, descending another rung, if we may put it thus. It is a much less elevated picture of the deity which is here presented to us. Yet, strange to say, it is the one which has taken hold of the imagination of all those who have come in contact with the Bible. The abstract delineation of the lofty Pe'nu'. urge of Genesis i, hardly more than a personification of the inevitable powers, of Nature, does not appeal to the common man but the picture ...
333. The Creation of Woman [Books]
... there are numerous examples, then the reference is surely factual and is to the totem of the tribe from which the woman was won.) Whatever the toned down passage Genesis ii. 20b, may allude to, it makes it clear that the creator found it imperative to supply a female human being, and that without delay. The strange thing is that none of the myths of the Genesis ii. 22 f. type tells that the creator took some more clay, or whatever other material the first male had been made of, to produce the first female. It cannot have been that these materials had come to be in short supply in the meantime, nor can ...
334. The Martian Deluge [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... we can use it at our convenience and on any desired scale. Instead of making a reconnaissance flight we'study aerial photographs; instead of monitoring a scintillometer aboard an aircraft we study a graph or a map. The origin of such indirect observation is lost in the mists of prehistory. Maybe it started when a young hunter, after seeing a strange animal, made a drawing in the sand for the old clan chief, or when the first shaman scratched an antelope on a piece of bone. In geology, surveying a landscape from a distance has always been part of established technique. We may simply store up as memory what we see, or we may make a sketch or ...
335. The Pluvial Period (Life History of Our Earth) [Books]
... Mineral Deposits The Satellites and Life on our Earth The Breakdown of the Satellite The Migrations of the Anchorage Bollard Evidences of Earlier Satellites The Continental Tables The Capture of Luna Chapter IX The Pluvial Period During, or immediately after, the raising up of the Alps, that is, in the late Miocene period, the meteorological conditions must have been strangely mixed in certain parts of the Earth. The climate was subtropical, or even tropical, but apparently also extremely wet. We can deduce this from terraced deposits of gravel on river courses of that time, now mostly dry valleys, or serving only insignificant streams as channels. There are other ancient river courses which date from a much ...
336. Probable Visibilities of Venus at the Time of the Supposed Spin Rate Acceleration of the Earth [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... days visibility as evening star (averaged values, as computed for the Panchasiddhantika article presented in SISR V:2 - q.v . for the visibility/invisibility criteria applied). (5 ) Varaha Mihira (" An Introduction to the Evidence of the Panchasiddhantika", SISR V:2 ), in his breakdown of the "strange synodic period" of Venus, shows a visibility as morning star of 235 days (compare with the 236 days of (1 ), above). It can be inferred that the corresponding invisibility at superior conjunction was 96 days and the corresponding invisibility at inferior conjunction 10 days. He says nothing at all about Venus as evening star ...
337. Conclusion (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... old traditions have gained considerably in value. Giving over the purely allegorical and non-natural system of interpretation, we have tried to disentangle from the myths the history of times otherwise forgotten, and the record of happenings otherwise unknown. Now at last we can see light through the imagery of the Edda, the mystic grandeur of the Bible, the strange word-painting of the myths in general. Our method of approach is a new one. The cosmogonic theory which underlies it is unfamiliar. Nevertheless we hope that neither this theory nor the interpretation of the myths in the light of its teachings will be found improbable or unsatisfactory. The mythologist especially will no doubt be quick to recognize the importance ...

339. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... who reigned in Nineveh between 812 and 807 BC. This remarkable woman, it was said, conquered many lands, and according to a story in Diodorus Siculus, her armies had invaded Egypt. The rather lengthy account of Egyptian history in Josephus's AGAINST APION is (in part) Manetho's version of this Assyrian conquest. Here we find a strange story of an invasion of Egypt from Asia. The Egyptian king at the time was Amenhotep (Amenophis) IV, and he is a contemporary of a wise man named Amenophis son of Papis (Amenhotep, son of Hapu, the famous sage of Akhnaton's time). Egypt is invaded by "polluted wretches" who had been expelled ...
340. Aftermath of the Trojan War [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... War is right, we should not find any Tjekker during the reigns of pharaohs before that conflict. In de Telder's new chronology[11] the dates of Ramses II are 841-777, of Merneptah 777-769, and of Ramses III 751-713. Ramses II does not mention any Greeks among the Sea Peoples he had to face. That is not strange, for in a time so long before the Trojan War it is unlikely the Greeks would be capable of such pirate raids. Merneptah only mentions the Achaioi; shortly before the Trojan War that is possible indeed. But the Tjekker appear only in the texts of Ramses III- just in time- for the Trojan War occurred immediately before ...
