... p. 18; 3:3 , p. 18 and 4:2 , p. 15). He stated that they were formed as molten materials thrown out of the Earth's atmosphere by a large meteorite impact and reentered shortly afterwards. But the Australasian tektite field has no associated impact feature and the Tunguska object was also described with strange "accuracy" considering it is still a matter of debate. Alvarez had stressed an apparent connection between impact events and geomagnetic reversals. The geophysicists are hard put to explain these random reversals - could they be triggered by the massive shock wave of a large impact? suggested Hindley, assuming the usual internally, core-generated E-M field. Then ...
432. Forum [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... that it can answer many previously anomalous questions pertaining to the different chronologies. So, from my own research I offer the following: 1. Unless I have overlooked it, there does not seem to be any mention in any of the Velikovskian publications of the text of the Stela of the Year 400'. This seems to me a strange oversight, since it would appear to be an important text, furnishing a 400 year chronological fix' between the Hyksos period and the 19th Dynasty. I should like to know how the information in this Stela of the Year 400' fits a) Velikovsky's own chronology, b) the Glasgow Chronology', and c) the revised ...
433. An Appendix to My Articles on Hatshepsut and Thutmose III [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From the discussion at the war conference held by Thutmose with his generals it is obvious that these officers knew the country most intimately. It seems that their king shared their knowledge and appreciated it, and that he fully understood their dread of entering the accursed Aruna road. It is the book of Joshua which gives us the answer to the strange reaction of the participants to the meeting - it was the very road where, to quote Josephus, Joshua had been relieved of his aggressors by "God's co-operation manifested by the discharge of thunderbolts". The road had been shunned ever since by enemies of His chosen people. This had been 500 years earlier. Now, this same ...
434. El-Hiba Revisited [Journals] [SIS Review]
... voyage back into history - the Society's Tenth Anniversary Tour of Egypt, still so fresh in my mind, was, for me, about to be relived once more over the coming days. The coach pulled up outside Terminal Three and onto weary shoulders I slung the selfsame camera bags that I had taken with me on that previous journey. Strange how the burden of that equipment seemed to remind me so much of those hot and exhilarating days spent amongst the splendour of Egypt's ancient monuments. I looked at my watch - the time was now 10.30 am. Some thirty minutes of hanging around the Egyptair check-in desk saw the arrival of Val Pearce, stalwart of the Society ...
435. Who Were the Assyrians of the Persian Period [Journals] [Aeon]
... the Akhaemenids is but an imitation of that of the Assyrians. Are we to believe that, nearly a century after the demise of Assyria, the Akhaemenids borrowed their culture from the ruins of that land? This despite the fact that, according to conventional wisdom, Assyria was not only defeated but thoroughly extinguished. No less enigmatic is the strange circumstance that the Akhaemenids appear to repeat the Assyrians' change from cylinder seals to stamp seals and from a lingua franca of cuneiform Akkadian to a lingua franca of alphabetic Aramaic. If indeed the Persians were digging up their cultural identity out of Assyrian rubbish, why did they fail to incorporate the latest achievements of that power? Even more ...
436. King Ay and a "Tumult of Hatred". Part 2 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... ," 4 In history, as in the legend, Creon-Ay's first wife died young, probably in childbirth.8 History has it that Ay married a namesake of his sister, the queen, and that this second wife nursed and brought up the orphan; in the legend it was the queen herself who nursed her brother's orphans. The strangeness of the legend of a queen serving as a nurse for children not her own is resolved by the historical fact that Queen Tiy and Ay's wife Ty had identical names. After Ay buried Tutankhamen he completed the building of a much larger sepulcher for himself. Tutankhamen's tomb had originally been built for Ay by his brother-in-law, Amenhotep III, ...
437. "This Was Oedipus". Part 2 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... any tomb-except the unmarked grave of a wanderer-it is so well concealed that the place of his last repose is not known to man. The mausoleum he prepared for himself in the rock in the desert near Akhet-Aton when he was at the height of his power was not used. His sarcophagus was vengefully broken into bits. A wanderer in a strange land, or a stranger in his own land, he may have vainly longed for his members to be shrouded in the dust of his city. "Will they shroud me in Theban dust?" was Oedipus' concern when he was on the throne. In Sophocles' version of the drama Oedipus decided to confer the blessing of ...
438. Tiglath-pileser versus Pul: A challenge to the accepted view [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of Sennacherib's claim of contact with Menahem either. Why? Well, just look at the chart. How could they possibly stretch Menahem's reign an additional 36 years or more in order to match that Assyrian record? Does the Bible tell us anything more about Pul or Tiglath-Pileser? Well, it just so happens that it does. And, strangely enough, it mentions BOTH of them. Since I am not a Bible expert of any kind, I can't claim that the following statement is absolutely true, but I want to make it anyway. Nowhere in the Bible is a foreign king referred to by more than one name. And yet, both the names of Pul and ...

440. The Stone of Shamir (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 2 (Winter 1981) Home | Issue Contents Vox Populi The Stone of Shamir To the Editor of KRONOS: There have been many tales of wonderful minerals or stones over the centuries which have related strange and powerful properties of these exotic, deviant objects. Among such was the Philosopher's Stone of the alchemists, which purportedly could change lead and other base metals into gold. The earliest reference to this stone dates from about the seventh century, but because of the mysticism associated with it there is doubt that it could be characterized as a real object, and certainly not with the properties ascribed to it. Another, which was quite ...
