... would freeze to the top of the ice. This frozen seawater could easily be distinguished from ice compacted from fallen snow. Ordinary glacier ice, unlike frozen water, contains millions of tiny air bubbles, which give it a milky appearance. It is routine practice to examine ice cores in the field over a light table and note any visible stratigraphic features in the core log. At drill sites like Devon Island, and Dye 3 in southern Greenland, melting is common. In many years, if only for a few days at the height of summer, it grows warm enough for considerable melting to occur. Because of percolation, it is conceivable that at such sites frozen seawater ...
92. Early History of the Israelite People: Biblical Fundamentalism in History (I) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... centuries) are assigned to Egyptian texts and, worse, are associated with "archeological evidence." If we look at the Sothic-dated strata in question, we will find that they sit (in Daba, Beth Shean and Timna), hiatus-free, directly beneath Hellenistic/ Ptolemaic strata of the -4th/ -3rd century (26) The same stratigraphic location within the Persian period holds for Thompson's "Assyrian records." Thompson knows that the biblical narratives were not compiled before the Persian period. Thus, his "many centuries" virtually melt down to as many decades. Where Thompson believes that there are people using -5th century texts to illuminate -14th century events, these individuals are actually ...
93. Epilogue: Questions And Answers (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... incentive to rewrite "Bronze and Iron," since subsequently published works have not changed the problem as it stood in 1952, and as it is, it already exceeds in length the other questions discussed here. 6. Stratigraphy dominates all judgments of professional archaeologists. Literary monuments are considered of definitely secondary value and, when found in wrong stratigraphical positions, are considered to be intrusions. Pottery, however, especially Mycenean and post-Mycenean (Geometric in various stages, and Orientalizing), defines by its presence the chronological placement of the strata. Scarabs, often carrying royal Egyptian names, are second only to pottery (usually sherds) as arbiters of age. What is then the ...
94. An Allerød Conflagration? [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... , it is the fine old scientific principle of "economy of hypothesis" or "Occam's razor". One goes for the simplest solution first rather than deliberately postulating something which requires a much more difficult mechanism. In this case a "universal conflagration" (if possible) would certainly not last long enough to leave any sort of recognizable stratigraphical record, whereas a few centuries or millennia of occasional heath or forest fires, during a particularly dry spell, would probably do so without requiring any special mechanism. Derek V. Ager Dept. of Geology and Oceanography, University College of Swansea, Swansea, U.K . * * * After a forest fire the forest usually ...

... world to varying degrees. Does anyone know what dates that he ascribes to those catastrophes and what those catastrophes were? From: Dwardu Cardona, dcardona@intouch.bc.ca Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1998 10:39:51 -0700 Kevin Weinhold wrote: The real question would be: is there any way to date Egypt stratigraphically, or via pottery, or is this anathema to any Egyptologist competent enough to do tackle the task? The idea would be to look the other way (no Manetho's list) while evaluating the existing data on Egypt. Couldn't use carbon dates either, since these have been played with too much. Dwardu Cardona Replies: Egyptian archaeological ...
96. The Norfolk Forest-bed. Ch.5 Tidal Wave (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... inter-bedding of drift sheets derived from different sources." "When we add the additional complications imposed by thin drifts, scanty interglacial deposits, and the frequent presence in fossil-bearing beds of secondary [displaced] fossils derived from the reworking of older horizons, we get a truly difficult over-all problem. . . . All in all, British glacial stratigraphic research has encountered exceptional difficulties," writes R. F. Flint, professor of geology at Yale University.1 In Cromer, Norfolk, close to the North Sea coast, and in other places on the British Isles, "forest-beds" have been found. The name derives from the presence of a great number of stumps of ...
97. German Conference: from Gunnar Heinsohn [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... This would bring Nabonidus close to the younger Cyrus. Zeller aired the idea of Darius' uncle Hystaspes being Hammurabi because- inter alia- of the translation "Great Maternal Uncle". That is difficult to decide and, of course, has no chronological implications. Yet, I am not hostile to the idea. Zeller also suggested- on stratigraphical evidence in Anatolia, not in Assyria- to make the Old-Assyrians not an alter ego of Old-Akkadians and Hyksos (as I suggset) but to consider them- one stratum higher up- as the indigenous Assyrians of the Mitanni=Medish period. I will consider that suggestion seriously. Finally, Zeller speculated on the A-hlamu of the Middle ...
98. Sicily, Carthage, and the Fall of Troy [Journals] [Kronos]
... historical date of Gela's establishment is acknowledged by the best authorities to be ca. 690 B.C ., Priam's city could not have fallen more than two or three decades earlier.(11) If the Sicilian Late Bronze Age, contemporary with the Mycenaean Age in Greece, ended abruptly about the time of the Trojan War, the stratigraphic sequence yields no evidence about the dark centuries supposedly separating it from the Geometric Age. After only a few decades the Geometric Age was interrupted by the arrival of Greek colonists, bringing their own distinctive culture from Corinth and Rhodes and other places in Greece. Despite the marked changes in the archaeological finds after the cessation of imported Mycenaean ware ...
99. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (3 ); the archives of Boghazköi and Ugarit then become silent, and it is assumed that the "Sea Peoples" had invaded - Boghazköi and Ugarit were destroyed. In Greece archaeology has revealed similar "siege preparations" (4 ), followed by widespread destruction of sites. In fact, according to the conventional dating of the stratigraphical evidence, nearly every major site in the Near East was destroyed around 1200 BC, including those of Palestine, Syria, Anatolia, Cyprus and Greece. These destructions are regularly attributed to the so-called "Sea Peoples" of the records of Ramesses III. The "Sea Peoples" movement supposedly had its origins in Europe, where pressures ...
100. Experiments with Time II: Synchronisms and Stratigraphies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... king lists into two parallel dynasties [1 ]. This relationship created a new chronological structure which forms the basis of the Absolute Chronology'. This is now further developed by the use of Schaeffer's comparative stratigraphy, to show how it relates to other countries of the Ancient World. This will be done partly by chronological synchronisms and partly by stratigraphical comparisons. 1. Revised royal synchronisms for Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia and Anatolia (Hatti) Provided they are accurate, synchronisms are one way of linking the chronologies of different countries. Unfortunately, in practice a familiar difficulty is encountered - the confusion of similar names. A good example is the list of generally accepted royal synchronisms' ...
