... waves and when, and used Heribert Nilsson's studies of German coals to prove his case. He relied heavily, too, upon the early English catastrophists. He used also the work of American creationists. In a few lines, he expressed his feeling that the uneven lengths given to the ages were "basically wrong;" The remark is strange, cryptic, confused. He "does not suggest either a lengthening or a shortening of the estimated age of the earth or the universe," and then adds irrelevantly and naively that a religious mind should not be upset by great ages. It was all rather humanistic and oldfashioned. Deg found that the accretion of evidence of catastrophes ...
622. The Two Sargons and Their Successors (Part II) [Journals] [Aeon]
... Jewish redactors to depict the venerated founder of their nation in any other light. If we adhere to the texts, however, we find that Abraham did not succeed in convincing his descendants to abandon all other gods but his, any more than Moses did. If he had, his grandson Jacob would not have had to confiscate the "strange gods" in his own household which, we notice, he did not even destroy, but merely hid under the oak at Shechem.(80) It is true that Abraham himself is presented in Genesis as something of a monotheist- although his dealings with Melchizedek do throw some doubt on this. Even so, his god was ...
623. Introduction (In the Beginning: God) [Books]
... human mind, and especially concerning the way in which'.new' ideas are formed in cases where observation, inference, and deduction are apparently clearly out of the question. (Note 3) The third chief theory mooted was called the Restitution Theory. Its leading idea is that the story of Genesis describes re-creation rather than creation. Strange to say, this at first sight most acceptable theory was more energetically opposed by official science than the others that had been proposed, though probably the reason was that it alone aspired to be scientific', while the literary' and the vision' theories could hardly be called so. The main objections marshalled against the Restitution Theory were ...
624. A Harbinger of the Exodus? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review (1994) "Proceedings of the 1993 Cambridge Conference" Home | Issue Contents A Harbinger of the Exodus?David Salkeld A puzzling aspect of Velikovsky's published works is the scant attention he gives to the man known as Moses. This is strange when one recalls that he went from Tel Aviv to the USA in 1939 to comb reference libraries for data on Moses, Oedipus and Akhenaten, in preparation for a book he planned on Freud. These researches eventually emerged in the book Oedipus and Akhnaton [1 ]. But although two of his other books - Worlds in Collision and Ages in Chaos - treat the Exodus in some detail, ...
625. El-Arish Revisited [Journals] [Kronos]
... right-hand side is almost entirely destroyed, it is merely a question of whether panel A precedes panel C, or vice versa. That the first alternative is correct seems obvious enough just from reading the first lines of each panel. But the correct sequence can be established in another manner, which will be mentioned in a moment. This "strange text", Velikovsky wrote, "has been regarded as rather mythological, though kings, residences, and geographical places are named and an invasion of foreigners described. The names of deities appearing in the text are royal cognomens.... In this inscription the name of King Thom is written in a royal cartouche, a fact ...
626. Review: A Bronze Age Disaster. Exodus to Arthur: Catastrophic encounters with comets, by M.G.L. Baillie [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of salt and argue that judgments should be restricted to published data. Besides, there is no evidence for assuming that the Anatolian sequence has any bearing at all on Baillie's date of 1159BC for the explosion of Hekla in Iceland. Baillie assumes that his 1159 event in Ireland and Kuniholm's independent' Anatolian event are symptoms of the same upheaval. Strangely, he is unable to cite any evidence from the German tree-ring sequence for anything significant having happened in 1159BC. I would like to see the model for the volcano-spawned weather pattern that starves Irish tree-rings, sneaks around central Europe and peps up Turkish conifers. It should be interesting. Maybe that is why Baillie throws a comet in ( ...
627. Forum Part Two [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Ages in Chaos may not be perfect but there is no denying the power and rightness of its general thrust. Likewise Worlds in Collision may have distorted some of the ancient myths and there are difficulties with its Exodus/Venus/Mars scenario but, as Bernard Newgrosh's paper on the priestess Enheduanna showed, there is a theme in mythology of strange cosmic goings-on involving Venus which refuses to go away - and as Wal Thornhill's paper showed, the latest satellite findings reveal Venus as a planet which looks as if it has had a very strange recent history. The problem was that it was never going to be easy to sort all of this out. The myths, legends, historical ...
628. Saul, David and Solomon [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of his reign the rapid decline started'. Velikovsky then says that three adversaries rose against Solomon: Hadad, Rezon and Jeroboam. The commentator [59] in NBD makes an intriguing observation: The zest with which the pharaoh courted Hadad's favour is further indication of the Egyptian penchant for forming beneficial alliances during this period'. This is strange because Egypt had an inferred treaty with Solomon, evidenced by the affinity with pharaoh' and the destruction of Gezer and, of course, the wedding of the Egyptian princess plus, if we believe Velikovsky, a visit by the Queen of Sheba. Why did pharaoh choose to enthusiastically court a nonentity from a small desert nation, bereft ...
629. The Capture of Luna (Life History of Our Earth) [Books]
... . It amounts to almost 300 feet in northern Norway, and over 3000 feet in Novaya Zemlya. (In the southern hemisphere land is lacking beyond the fortieth parallel, and so a corresponding check is not possible.) It will be objected that though there certainly is a progressive rise of ancient beaches towards the north this rise shows many strange local irregularities; that it is also different on the European and American sides of the Atlantic, and does not seem to have been at all considerable in the Pacific. But it should be remembered that the new satellite also distorted the terrestrial lithosphere, and in some areas more than in others; while one must also not lose sight ...
630. Noah's Ark: I - The Ship on Ararat (Part A) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Roskovitsky himself describe: ". . . suddenly my companion observed something and excitedly pointed to the overflow of the lake. We thought it a submarine, but on looking closer we saw that it had a stubby mast, the top was rounded over, with a flat catwalk about five feet wide down the length of it. What a strange craft, built as though the designer had expected the waves to roll over the top most of the time and had engineered it to wallow in the sea like a log. . ." (37) They flew around it a few times and were astounded at the ship's size which Roskovitsky declared to be "as long as a ...
