... the Review of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies (England) have asked me to publish my Homo Sapiens Schizotyicalis and I think it will be done. I am suggesting to them that they ask you to prepare a commentary from your letters and other thoughts, if your time permits, thinking that you will have half done the job already. Strangely, I think you have understood my theory very well but you have not understood the weaknesses of your own conventional flooring quite as well. If you will permit me to say so, I would assert that time after time you (and that means a flock of learned gentry of evolutionary persuasion) will employ sloganized concepts and terms to ...
762. The Perception of Continuity and Discontinuity [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... no organism could learn or consider anything worth learning since nothing would ever appear to repeat itself. Are the notions of continuity and discontinuity therefore only fictions which we impose upon reality through the design and learning strategies of our brains? This is a depressing but doubtful possibility. Because we can so often accurately predict everyday activities it would indeed be strange if continuity and discontinuity did not represent some design feature (both spatial and temporal) of the natural world, a natural world which we have, after all, evolved in and modified by continual interaction. Because so much conceptual and creative scientific thinking ostentatiously involves the detection of similarities, it has been tempting to give less attention to ...
763. The Problem of Adjusting the Date Limits of the Archaeological Ages to Meet Velikovsky's Revision [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... demand for compression of these late dynasties, still further parallelism of rule must be recognized. In making the reduction in Mena's antiquity to c. 2800 B.C . all of this 2500-3000 years was subtracted from the time conventionally allotted to dynasties I to XI, leaving essentially intact the chronology of dynasties XII and later. This was a strange move to admit as scholarly. If an error of three millenniums could be made in the interval occupied by dynasties I to XI, what assurance was there that no error of significance had been made in the chronology of the later period? A further basis for rejecting the validity of the conventional structure, even in its larger aspects, ...
... regions of death and cold, partly by a great flood, described as similar to Noah's or Deucalion's Flood. (J . T. Bunce, Fairy Tales, Origin and Meaning, p. 18.) These virile races, driven from the north to which they rightfully belonged, set up kingdoms in the south and south-west, but strange to say none of these survived for very long, although in most cases they left certain permanent traces which have yet survived, much as in Venice or Naples many of the women possess the Titian red hair inherited from their Phoenician ancestors. The Visogoths were subdued by the Moors in Spain in 711, the Vandals, after plundering Rome ...
765. The Ring About The Earth at 2300 BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... through Mesopotamia were thought of as streams of heaven [17]. There were various concepts to reconcile the heavenly rivers with the rivers on the Earth. The general belief was that the water in the sky formed a continuation of the Nile or Euphrates, or was the source of those rivers [18]. The Greek Pausanias relates the strange belief of the ancients that the Euphrates, after disappearing in a marsh and flowing a long distance underground, rises again beyond Ethiopia and flows through Egypt as the Nile [19], or that both the Nile and Euphrates flowed underground and then above ground [20]. The Akkadians called the Euphrates the rope of the world' ...
... was accordingly called "elektron" by the Greeks. It bore a very sacred reputation, as did jet, doubtless because of its origin, and in Egyptian, French, Italian, Scandinavian, and British tombs of the late Neolithic and subsequent periods amber is frequently found as amulets. Now we pass on to the next phase in this strange story. What caused the Drift? What brought to the shores of Britain and beyond, for odd traces are found in parts of America, vast quantities of stones, rocks, boulder-clay, till, and the rest of the un-stratified Drift? Some agency transported these assuredly, and geologists select ice. They are so certain it is ...
767. Formation of Chondritic Meteorites and the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... more. Since the most refractory components are found in the most distant chondrites from the Sun, solar radiation was evidently not the source of heat for their formation. The cooling period must be measured in minutes or hours. It should also be noted that the chondrules, which are glassy drops of silicate, show evidence of rapid chilling. Strangely, they are almost all non-spherical [9 ]. The inclusions are surrounded by a halo of very fine grained matrix material for several millimetres, then the chondrules and coarser, more volatile components that enclose that halo. The core of the inclusion has an excess of heavy magnesium (Mg) isotopes, while the shell has normal Mg ...
768. Testing Rohl's Test of Time [Journals] [Aeon]
... monuments throughout his own land. Meanwhile, Rohl's prognosis that Ramesses' Year 8 presence in Shalem should be recognised as the Shishak assault on Jerusalem suffers the substantial reproach of being incompatible with the general milieu of vastly diminished regional potency for the Uraeus and full independence for the Judean State. As a direct consequence, his nominee scenario produces several strange inconsistencies on either side of the alleged event. It is probably sufficient to highlight only two at this stage. And, in so doing, please remember that these factors are thrust upon us by Rohl's insistence that Ramesses II is to be identified as Shishak. Firstly, given Ramesses' 67 year reign, he would only have reached ...
... ignorance, and bliss, and folly to be wise in these matters. The Ottawa meteor may have been the parent of the following meteorites. The next seismic event of 1926 worthy of mention was on May 24, when Mount Iwo, Hokkaido, Japan, burst into eruption after lying dormant for many years. Nevertheless, two or three strange weather vicissitudes occurred in between which were not without significance. On Wednesday, March 2, there was a serious electrical storm which cut out for a time Daventry's broadcasting. Also on Friday, 4th, another severe electrical storm passed over London during the afternoon. The weather up to Wednesday had been warm and fine for March, but ...
770. An Integrated Model for an Earthwide Event at 2300 BC. Part II: The Geological Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... uplift, and correlates well with the Indus Valley uplift. There is a serious speculation that, at the same time as the uplift at 2300 BC, the sea may have extended into a region in the southern Indus Valley. This speculation is based on the absence of Harappan sites in that region despite a very extensive search; and the strange distribution of other Harappan sites not located near the coast or near rivers. These sites appear to be located around the periphery of an area that might have been flooded at that time [16]. Lothal, a Harappan southern coastal city, was found to experience a first major flood about 2350 BC. Despite rebuilding of dockyard and ...
