... and W. H. Holmes concluded that since the pottery was similar to that of the mound-building Indian tribes who inhabited Florida before Columbus, the bones must have been of recent origin. This is no doubt true, but then it also follows that the Ice Age was recent, for as E. H. Sellards pointed out, the stratigraphical position of the bones, their intimate association with fauna which died out during the Pleistocene and the degree of their mineralization all demonstrated that the whole assemblage was contemporaneous [20]. Tracks Fossilisation is a process which requires catastrophic conditions. The carcass of a bison on the plains of Montana or of a whale on the ocean floor is ...
352. The Oracle of Cadmus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... 7 ] Toward the end of Akhnaton's reign, as in the Oedipus legend, an unspecified disaster struck the land of Egypt. As Tutankhamun described it on a stele, "The land was sick and the gods turned their back upon this land." We can now understand the nature of this disaster. Fire from Heaven In his masterly Stratigraphie comparee et chronologie de l'Asie Occidentale (Oxford, 1948), Claude Schaeffer, excavator of Ugarit, Cadmus-Nikmed's "home town," describes a significant discovery: .. .five periods marked by widespread destructions, breaks in occupation or movements of population (and sometimes all three together) throughout Western Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean. Each ...
353. Ice Age Milankovitch Cycles Or Epicycles [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... evidence that he was forced to admit "in my estimation the new Devils Hole chronology is more firm than any other available isotopic age in this range. Nowhere else has such a high degree of concordance between 234U- MU and 230 Th- 234U ages been achieved. No other archive is better preserved. No other record has so many stratigraphically ordered radiometric ages..." [Though Broecker is a long time supporter of Milankovitch , he adds] "One side will have to give - just to be safe -climate modelers should start preparing themselves for a world without Mlankovitch."74 But Mewhinney knows Broecker is wrong, and that the poor little Devils Hole "discrepancies ...
354. Were The Hitites Lydians? [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... On the contrary, their power base was clearly far to the north, in the middle of Anatolia. Velikovsky's critics were of course quick to point this out, and it was a problem to which he could give no satisfactory answer. On the other hand, Ramses II and His Time contained a veritable mountain of evidence, of a stratigraphic, artistic and paleographic nature, which showed that the 7th century was the correct time for the early Ramessides, and this evidence has been greatly added to by Gunnar Heinsohn. Clearly, the Hittites were a mighty power of the 6th century: but which power were they? The classical authors, as opposed to the biblical, make ...
355. Pillars of Straw [Journals] [Aeon]
... when it tends to step on his own toes- the subject of calendrics. Thus, following more than a page in which he lauds Heinsohn's method in what can be considered his opus magnum, Rose ends up with the following remarks: "On the other hand, Heinsohn may be committing too much to the flames. His focus on stratigraphy leaves him with many serious blind spots concerning matters that seem to him to lie out at some irrelevant periphery. Thus he tends to dismiss without further thought or investigation any considerations that are brought to him from the fields of calendrology or astronomy. Not surprisingly, this does not strike me as a very admirable trait in Heinsohn's intellectual make-up ...
356. Some Preliminary Remarks About Ice Cores [Journals] [Kronos]
... eruption of 1783 is "at best feebly" indicated in the acid readings of the Dye 3 and Milcent cores; (2 ) saying that annual ice core layers have been traced back "hundreds of years"; and (3 ) saying that Velikovsky's events of the second millennium would have left various sorts of physical evidence, especially in stratigraphical situations. (See pages 63 and 106.) Ellenberger is probably correct about (1 ); de Grazia may indeed have confused the oxygen-18 readings with the acid readings, as Ellenberger suggests. But this is at most a minor slip on de Grazia's part, and hardly worthy of Ellenberger's reference to "rank incompetence". Ellenberger ...
357. Megalithic Circles and Star Charts [Journals] [SIS Review]
... spokes. The circles may be as large as a hundred metres diameter. Medicine wheels are somewhat of a mystery in that most of them are old enough so that their original function has been forgotten. They are often considered sacred. Dating is difficult since the structures are most often found on hilltops and mountaintops where the soil is thin and stratigraphy is difficult [19]. One of the wheels has been dated and fits in well with the general dating pattern. The most extensively excavated medicine-wheel cairn at Majorville in Alberta, Canada gives evidence of approximate continuous use since about 2500 BC [20]. To the south, in the state of Colorado, central-western United States, ...
358. Chapter 4 Scientific ? Radiocarbon Dating [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... saying what they would like the results to have been — and finally . . . the intelligence to interpret the results."21 [emphasis added] For those who would suggest that this problem is not endemic to the field of radiocarbon dating, but rather a thing of the past, here is what a geochronologist, isotope geochemist and stratigrapher, Thomas W. Stratford Jr, who heads a dating laboratory, had to say in February 2000: "Human bias influences radiocarbon chronologies far more than is acknowledged. While human subjectivity should not be a factor, it may be one of the most intransigent problems in radiocarbon dating . . ." 22 When we have authorities in ...

... , actually an import from Susiana. They resemble Nebukadnezar's' tiles on the entrance alley and Ishtar gate of Babylon (now in Berlin's Pergamon Museum). Thus, we have one building in Persian style connected to the Old Palace whose use was continued parallel to the Persian mansion. One must understand; there is not a Persian house sitting stratigraphically high up on an old palace, but a new mansion side by side with the somewhat older building. The Persian mansion is never labeled [sic] by Koldewey or anybody in his team as a royal palace'. They call it Perser-Kiosk'. Most probably it was the house of a lady, because a lot of female ...

... view. When a quantavolution occurs, the phenomena of air, water, earth, and existence change sharply. Logically, then, every science is concerned with quantavolutions, past and future. Every sphere of being is affected, so we can say Q is holospheric. Thousands of plant and animal species extincted with the famous dinosaurs. The stratigraphy of much of the Earth changed. The atmosphere changed. The motions of the Earth changed, how much we do not yet know. As a matter of fact, we know very little yet about the events and changes that took place when the dinosaurs felt the disastrous effects of falling bodies from outer space. But name me a ...
