... to the latest sculpture of the Hittite Empire,"4 and also suggested an early date ( --1050 to-900). Historians who took into account the evidence of archaeology were unable to accept this dating. H. T. Bossert, especially, was adamant in arguing that an early date went counter to what was known of the stratigraphical situation at Malatya.5 Even Hanfmann, who championed an early date, recognized the archaeological difficulties that this view raised, for it implied that the stratum in which the Lion Gate was found "would have lasted at least ago years, thus equalling in duration all five earlier Neo-Hittite levels":6 These five levels together would then ...

... armour that was very advanced for its day and is not seen again until used by the Romans. The Cambridge Ancient History confirmed that the Neo-Assyrian layer is not found at all in north Mesopotamia. Against this, Bob Porter said the Persians put governors into conquered cities/countries, so there was little effect on the local culture or the stratigraphy. Also in Babylon there was a neo-Babylonian layer below the Persian layer. Benny Peiser argued against reading too much into stratigraphy. He cited the discovery of a Roman village in NW England under 10cm of topsoil. Where were the layers of Viking, Saxons, Normans, etc? Benny said the main problem with Heinsohn's scheme was that ...
304. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... The whole issue on the Proceedings was very well done, covering a wide range of subjects related to Velikovsky's challenge. Especially I enjoyed Gammon's, Bimson's and James' contributions, as they touched upon subjects of special interest to me and where I have done some research or study myself. The "established" correlation between ancient history and archaeological stratigraphy is now being questioned more and more by different scholars. A recent example is James A. Sauer's article "Syro-Palestinian Archaeology, History and Biblical Studies", published in Biblical Archaeologist Vol. 45 (1982), No. 4. He says, for instance, that "In my opinion, the archaeological evidence from the Early ...

... along fault planes which could be at any angle to the vertical. The canyon walls are almost without exception near vertical. Of course, that doesn't rule out the interesting scenario you describe but when you look at the other odd characteristics of VM they match electrical scarring to a T. Mind you, one must also be aware of the stratigraphical implications. If the flood legend is older than the Martian event which I interpret as occurring at approx 750 BC, then the collapse structures will be younger than water caused channels. This implies that further imagery will be complex. [WT] That was roughly Velikovsky's dating of the Martian event. I agree with the Saturnist position that ...

... abrupt? And it can be shown that they were abrupt, because now we pass from paleo-climatology to archaeology. Archaeology shows us that historical periods have always arrived at their end in catastrophic conditions, and no-one more than Claude Schaeffer, who was a friend of mine, whom I have known very well, has shown in his book "Stratigraphie comparée" which he published in 1948, not only in his own excavations, but he did a little tour round the world, or at least three quarters of the world, the whole Near East, from Egypt until China, and he arrived at the conclusion that the Early Bronze, the Middle Bronze and the recent or Late ...
307. Nine Spheres of Venusian Effects [Books] [de Grazia books]
... obliged to hypothesize: "Every geophysical feature or process in the world capable of exhibiting the effects of continuous stress will show that such stress occurred around-3500." Here we share problems with conventional students of Holocene geology: what tests can pinpoint geological events in time- radiocarbon dating, possible chemical changes in rocks and soils, changed stratigraphy and morphology that can be tied to historical or protohistorical events? So when we read a contrary statement in the Encyclopaedia Britannica to the effect that the Euphrates River bed was unchanged over many thousands of years, we must juxtapose to this a statement by R. Adams, for instance, that there occurred in the mid-second millennium "a ...

... who went towards Syria but stopped in Jerusalem for fear of the Assyrians. Tuthmosis III mentions Assyrians. Nineveh at the time of Akhenaten was controlled by Mitanni who spoke Persian and had Persian gods. They sent a statue of the goddess Ishtar to Akhenaten's father. Mitanni conquered Assyria. Shoshtatar took the gold from Nineveh. Bob said that the stratigraphy of a suburb of Babylon, where German excavators, Coldevai and Reuter found dateable tablets, has Parthians, Seleucid, Persian, neo-Babylonian, Babylonian/neo-Assyrian, two Kassite (Amarna correspondents) Hammurabi, then water. This doesn't fit Heinsohn. Emmett said there is usually no Persian layer - directly below the Hellenistic, Seleucid is neo-Assyrian ...
309. New Fashions in Catastrophism [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Athens Geology Department: Dear Professor Marinos: The Doxiades Organization informed me that you were supervising the analysis of the core drillings being made at a number of sites in Athens in connection with the proposed subway route.... I am interested in any evidences that your drillings may show of levels of calcination in the historical and pre historical stratigraphy of the area. By calcination I mean burnt debris, ash coverings, and earth subjected to heavy thermal stress. At the same time I would be interested in concurrent evidence of flooding on a large scale, associated with or independent of the burning. Professor Marinos is happy to oblige and introduces him to the engineer who is drilling ...

... spread of the ice [123]. The impact was into a deep ocean basin in the southeast Pacific, and spread debris over 600 km of ocean floor. Analysis of this debris has indicated that the missile was a low-metal mesosiderite meteorite, not a comet. Iridium abundance anomalies were demonstrated in several deep-sea cores from the region, magnetic stratigraphy giving an age of 2.3 Myr for the impact, unresolvable from the temperature drop as indicated by oxygen isotope ratios. The Late Pliocene iridium concentration in one of the cores was similar to that found in the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary layer [123]. Impacts of comparable size also occurred 1.1 Myr ago, producing the 10 ...
