... James in S.I .S . Review III:4 (1979 pp.81-83. Dayton identi- fies key errors made by 19th century archaeologists which results in "a card-house of interrelated facts'...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." (p .6 ) Dayton observes that Petrie, "one of the pioneers of Egyptian archaeology and on whose work in the 1890s so much modern chronology rested, had had a fatal idee__fi_xe of a high chronology and had, ...
422. The Palaetiology of Fear and Memory [Books]
... occurred in the period of the dawn of civilization seems to be highly probable. We may cite here not only the striking documentation published by Immanuel Velikovsky from religious myths and secular histories of the earliest times, but also the researches of the Renaissance and Enlightenment scholars such as Giordano Bruno and Nicolas-Antoine Boulanger, surveys of Claude Schaeffer on the comparative stratigraphy of the Near and Middle East, and the ever-mounting geological evidence of widespread destruction in Holocene times, much of which was also compiled by Velikovsky. Humanity was literally born in an epoch of disasters, and it may be correct to say that man was created by disasters. That is to say, by principle: Natural catastrophes must ...
... as he called his particular hypothesis to distinguish it from "the ideas of the Noachian deluge people"), but expressed "strong doubts about the desirability of including discussions of some aspects of the lunatic fringe'" and a hesitancy to publish in a journal that included such discussions. Ager noted that his groundbreaking book The Nature of the Stratigraphical Record (1973) had brought him "much literature from the Velikovsky band, but when I asked for concrete geological evidence there was immediate and concrete silence." In a later disagreement over geological interpretation, Kloosterman suggested that Ager "be classified as a crypto-uniformitarian and not as a neo-catastrophist." (52) De Grazia also resumed ...

425. The Importance of Outsiders in Science [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that he published the first two volumes of his Principles of Geology without having done any fieldwork, so not only was he self- taught, he was what we would call an arm-chair scientist'. He developed the theory of uniformitarianism which supplanted the catastrophism then prevalent among scientists. He is considered one of the founders of the discipline of stratigraphy, the study of the layers of the Earth's surface and gave us the names Eocene, Miocene and Pliocene for three of these. William John Macquorn Rankine (1820-1872) was a civil engineer by profession. He had studied at Edinburgh University and after his apprenticeship he made important contributions to the science of railway locomotion, became professor of ...
426. Whence Homo? [Journals] [Aeon]
... Consciousness, speech, and writing (symbolization) arose with Homo sapiens. Many other universal aspects of man's culture arose quickly on the heels of consciousness, a completely new mental horizon- Homo stripped of instinct and thrust to survive on the strength of his mind. The path to man was not a gradual process with continuing (and now stratigraphically missing) periods of transition. Rather, it consisted of quite discrete steps culminating in a great awakening. Likewise, many of our earliest cultural elements were not a matter of protracted development, but came with the first generations. References 1. L. Stein & B. M. Rowe, Physical Anthropology (N . Y. ...
427. An Alternative to the Velikovskian Chronology for Ancient Egypt [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of course, requires a doubling of the Hyksos period to some 400 years in order for his XVIIIth Dynasty synchronisms to fit with the Solomonic era. Likewise the Late Bronze I period (linked with the beginning of the Judges/Hyksos era and the early Hebrew Monarchy) need not be stretched to the length originally suggested in John Bimson's revised stratigraphy. Several lines of evidence suggest that the Second Intermediate Period should be shortened rather than extended. (23) Velikovsky's date for the Exodus remains located at the end of the Middle Kingdom just prior to the Hyksos invasion circa 1450 BC. We therefore retain Velikovsky's identification of the Hyksos with the invading Amalekites at the time of the Exodus ...
428. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology [Articles]
... ? Dr Milton: They find mixtures of broken-up parts of human remains mixed with bits of rhinoceros and bits of whales and that, in EARTH IN UPHEAVAL he talks about that, there are caves- in Kent?- we don't know what catastrophe they belong to, my whole argument here today is that you can't lay out a good stratigraphy of either the geological eras or the radiometric eras or any of these others because the system has been disturbed in a very complicated way. I don't know, for example, if these dinosaur bones weren't destroyed when Venus came over. When I get back to America, one of the places I want to go is down to see ...
429. The End of a World (Built Before the Flood) [Books]
... , cascading down from the heights of the Andes, must have been terrific. Let us for a moment consider the work done by that which raced through the La Paz gap and washed out what are now the towering cliffs of the gorges of the Rio de La Paz, which cleave the imposing mountain mass of the Cordillera Real. From stratigraphic evidence it appears that about 6 000 feet of strata have been cut through a task which cannot possibly be placed to the credit of the rather insignificant Rio de La Paz. To erode these gorges incredible volumes of water carrying immense quantities of loose abrasive material must have shot out from the Altiplano towards the south-east. The country looks as ...
430. Beyond Bauer [Journals] [Aeon]
... Israelite history, proved to be disastrously extreme. Involving a reduction of Egyptian dates by a full eight centuries at one point, it produced a rash of new problems far more severe than those it hoped to solve. Sadly, while he pointed the way to a solution by challenging Egyptian chronology, Velikovsky understood little of archaeology and nothing of stratigraphy." 5. H. Bauer, Beyond Velikovsky (Urbana, 1984), p. 187. 6. Ibid., p. 62. 7. A similar conclusion was drawn by R. Hewsen, "Velikovsky and the Apparatus of Scholarship," SIS Review VI:4 (1981/82), pp. ...
