... core geologists have not given up: as we shall see, they continue to avow that when they are able to drill in the right places with the right drill they too will have their hundreds of thousands of years. One is reminded somehow of Berossus and Manetho! THE WISCONSIN There are many reasons for studying ice cores (and other stratigraphical records), but one of the principal reasons that appeals to uniformitarian geologists is that the ice cores may be a source of chronological and other information about the more recent ice ages. These investigators have some interest in historically dated events, such as volcanic eruptions, but the impression one gets is that the main appeal of volcanic eruptions ...

363. The Eye Goddess [Journals] [Aeon]
... idols" discovered by Max Mallowan at Tel Brak. (Illustrations after Mallowan.) The Eye Goddess In 1937, while excavating at an ancient temple at Tell Brak, Max Mallowan- the archaeologist husband of Agatha Christie- found thousands of figurines distinguished primarily by their prominent eyes (see Fig.4 ). On the basis of their stratigraphical position, Mallowan dated the peculiar figurines- which he called "eye-idols"- to the first half of the third millennium B.C . (the Jemdat Nasr period). [32] It was Mallowan's opinion that the idols represented the Sumerian goddess Inanna, [33] although he remained pessimistic that archaeologists would ever discover their ...
364. The Milankovitch Theory of the Ice Ages [Journals] [Kronos]
... despite the fact that there were many thousands of cores available to them. That is why they had to construct a composite from two cores, neither of which was adequate in itself. One reason for this sort of limitation is simply that many cores are damaged. Another reason is that many cores are so close to continental masses that their stratigraphy is distorted by continental debris. Thus the two cores selected were "centrally located between Africa, Australia, and Antarctica, and therefore little influenced by variations of erosional detritus from these continents" (page 1122). It was also considered important at that time that the two cores were near the shifting interface of colder Antarctic water and ...
365. Krupp And Velikovsky [Journals] [Kronos]
... undergoes excursions outside the usual range of secular variation but they are usually brief, generally lasting about 10^5 yrs so that their magnetic record in deep sea sediments is often lost because of depositional demagnetism and because of biological activity in the upper few decimeters of the sediments."(10) "Short events are only recorded occasionally in stratigraphical sequences, for example, during periods of rapid sedimentation or if the record is continuous or samples are very closely spaced. If the chronology is not very exact even these occasional records cannot usually be reliably correlated making it difficult to distinguish between noise' and real events."(11) In an effort to correlate the Laschamp event ...
366. The Origins of the Spartan State in the New Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... for such an extensive time period. We also learn that the Spartans could not have been the agent of destruction of the Mycenaean civilisation because the archaeology implies an abandonment of the region by the Achaean population at the end of the Bronze Age. The so-called evidence' for depopulation of the valley is again the apparent lack of archaeological remains and stratigraphy. Both these phenomena disappear with the removal of what I contend to be a phantom Dark Age: "In the survey of the early Dark Ages it was unfortunately necessary to admit that there was no material of any sort, from settlement, tomb, or sanctuary, or even from surface investigation, from anywhere within its district. ...
367. Chaos and Creation [Books] [de Grazia books]
... "In the middle of the second millennium B.C . the ancient cities of Southern Turkmenia declined and were abandoned by the inhabitants. The South Turkmenia civilization perished at about the same time as the proto-Indian, and the reasons are still unknown." [28] China did not escape. "We discover between the chronology and the stratigraphy of the sites of the second millennium of China and those of Western Asia a very close parallelism."[29] There appears to have been a hiatus of centuries between the legendary Hia dynasty and the historic Chang dynasty. In the West, this was the Exodus period. The Baltic Sea may have formed now then. Its ...
368. The "Forgotten Empire". Ch. 4. (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... book. The Empire of the Hittites: "As regards the final acceptance of the views here advanced, I have no fear whatever"8 ? The next year (1907) thousands more tablets and fragments were carried from the same slope in Boghazkoi, raising the number to about ten thousand. There was, however, difficulty of a stratigraphic nature: the remains among which the tablets were found indicated a much more recent period than the age of these documents. But the existence of the treaty with Ramses II precluded even a consideration of the conflicting data, and a chronological place in accord with the time of Ramses II was allotted to Hattusilis, the king of Hatti, ...
369. The Signature of Catastrophe (Reinterpreting the Geological Record) [Journals] [Aeon]
... in the making. We distinguish in the geological record two conceptually different kinds of units. Rock-stratigraphic units describe different types of rocks that constitute a mappable entity. Time-stratigraphic units, on the other hand, contain rocks believed to have been formed during a particular period of geologic time, without regard to the rock types involved. Boundaries of time stratigraphic units are inferred, from fossils or other evidence. This is true even when disconformities exist between systems. (A disconformity is an erosional surface overlain by another bed of rock, a real physical disruption in the sedimentation process.) No time-stratigraphic units occur universally. Known as geologic systems, they are defined based on selected sedimentary sequences ...
370. Jupiter - God of Abraham (Part III) [Journals] [Kronos]
... to their estimate, the cemetery contained something like twenty thousand tombs.(206) Some of these tombs were opened, their contents examined, and their artifacts removed and studied. But, despite the fact that such a vast ossuary bespoke a populous past somewhere in the area, ten more years were to pass before any actual excavation and stratigraphical exploration was to be conducted. The fortified area that Mallon and Albright had first discovered was, meanwhile, believed to have been an open-air sanctuary. In 1966, a year following the discovery of the Bab edh-Dhra' cemetery, Sarna could still write that "Strangely enough, there is no sign of any permanent settlement in the entire ...
