... tide hills, chiefly immediately before, and, to a lesser extent, immediately after, the stationary period. In the truly stationary period itself rather little is deposited, because the tide hills eventually exhaust a ready supply of detrited material. In concluding this section it might be as well to point out once more the essential difference between the stratigraphic teachings of orthodox geology and the geological system based on Hoerbiger's Cosmogonic Theory. According to the generally accepted notions the stratified sedimentary material out of which the great high mountain systems were formed was collected at the bottom of deep wide troughs, the so-called geosynclines', which were formed by areas of the continental surface of our Earth locally subsiding ...
372. Knowledge and Entropy - an Evolutionary Outlook [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... double approximately every 80 million years. The fossil record, however, does not accurately reflect the relative diversity of earlier ecosystems. The probability that fossils are preserved and made available to paleontologists diminishes with increasing age (cf. Gilluly, 1949; Newell, 1959; Durham, 1967), and the upward augmentation of fossil taxa in the stratigraphical column might reveal the downward decrease of our knowledge rather than a real multiplication of living taxa with time (cf. Raup & Stanley, 1971). Diversity is likely to have grown during the Phanerozoic, but its increase should have been less than what it appears to be from the paleontological record. In any case, the present ...

374. Petrofabric Analysis: An Unreliable Archaeological Tool [Journals] [Kronos]
... accepting general conclusions based on limited petrofabric analyses. When writing of his studies of glacial till in Scandinavia, B. Jarnefors has used a cautionary tone: "[ Various] works .. . have clearly proved the great value of this method in field work, especially concerning till material in areas poor in rocky outcrops as well as in stratigraphic investigation of deposits caused by oscillations of ice flow. It must however be stated that regional and statistical experiences of this method is too deficient for allowing too general conclusions for only one or a few analyses. " (5 ) C. D. Holmes, who studied till distribution in the central New York plain also noted that: ...
375. Language and Thought in Ancient Egypt (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... this to say on page 34: "Each new generation of scholars tends to flatter itself regarding its supposed breakthroughs. But the fact is that very little has fundamentally changed during the past one hundred years in the way scholars treat antiquity: the conventional chronology is still adhered to by the vast majority of today's authors; and the archaeological, stratigraphical, monumental, and literary evidence against that conventional chronology is swept under the rug today even more carefully than it was two or three generations ago. "Sometimes, in fact, it is necessary to turn to older sources in order to find candid reports and honest discussions of discoveries whose embarrassing nature had not yet been fully realised" ...
376. The Genesis of Israel and Egypt by Emmett Sweeney [Journals] [SIS Review]
... adoption of Velikovsky and Heinsohn's catastrophist analysis, which argues that the civilisation we call the Bronze Age commenced following a catastrophe of extraterrestrial origin which caused destruction and devastation worldwide. His first chapter presents evidence for floods and destructions within the archaeological record across the Middle East. Drawing on the work of Heinsohn and Schaeffer, the chronological inconsistencies in the stratigraphies of Egypt, Syria, and Mesopotamia are exposed. With the identification within the archaeological record of the effects of this universal catastrophe, the ancient civilisations of Egypt and Mesopotamia are shown to start at the same time as that of Syria/Palestine, rather than around a thousand years earlier as conventional historians would have us believe. With ...
377. Geogullibility And Geomagnetic Reversals [Journals] [Kronos]
... lost in a flood of signs of normal polarity. The same argument can be dismissed in the context of Velikovskian earth history, where a magnetic reversal would most likely accompany a global catastrophe. Simultaneously, or nearly so, violent waters would be sweeping sea bottoms clean in some places and dumping enormous loads of detritus in others. Elsewhere, stratigraphic records of more peaceful times would be mutilated Here and there the sequence of unconsolidated sediments might be fortuitously preserved, or it might even be duplicated through folding.(10) Chaotic records would be the rule wherever disordered currents held sway, however briefly. The placid waters needed for settling particles to align themselves magnetically might not be restored ...
378. Metallurgy and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and pulls no punches in revealing its faults: ". .. archaeology in the Near East has built up a card-house of interrelated "facts" by the stylistic comparison of artefacts from one area to the next, each system building upon the flimsy evidence of the past - often, indeed, on a single find of doubtful date and stratigraphy, as with the cylinder seal from Platanos of the Old Babylonian period. Unfortunately, the myths in this vast corpus are almost self-perpetuating while providing rich pastures for studies in minutiae. Few have had the courage or time, or for that matter the overall knowledge, with the "Quasi-science" split into so many specialised compartments and tiny ...

... issue, BAR's attention to Velikovsky had been confined to the letters section. In December, 1976, a reader's query "whether there has been any evidence uncovered since 1950 to support or oppose Velikovsky" was answered at length in the negative by Stiebing.(181) The reply focused on problems associated with the dating of Asshur-uballit and Palestinian stratigraphy. In September/October 1978, a superb letter from Dr. Shane H. Mage argued the case for Velikovsky's dating of the Timna copper mines to Solomon's time.(182) BAR's recycling of Sagan's discredited analysis was especially disappointing because, considering both its technical content and many flaws, they should have done something original and more ...
380. Radioactive Fossil Bones (Comments) [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... on radioactive bones from Argentina (Danieli C., Villar Fabre J., Quartino B., 1960: Restos óseos uraniferos de la zona de El Brete, Dpto. Candelaria, Prov. de Salta. Acta Geol. Lilloana 3: 5-14). Bone fragments found on the surface of a hill of red sandstone, of uncertain stratigraphic position, contained 0.14% U308. The size of the fragments indicated that the remains were of big animals. I wrote to the Fundacion Miguel Lillo in Tucuman, the institute which had published the article, and received the following answer (my translation): "After the work of Danieli e.a . (1960 ...
