... Southampton, U.S .A . Harold Tresman Elstree, Great Britain Nicolas Varlamoff White Plains, U.S .A . Jean Vogt Orleans, France E.Wegmann Neuchitel, Switzerland Since (your proposed journal) seems to be so much in line with my own ideas - as expressed in my book "The Nature of the Stratigraphical Record", Macmillan's 1973 - I am naturally very interested in the project. Whilst remaining, I hope, broad-minded I must express strong doubts about the desirability of including discussions of some aspects of the "Lunatic fringe". Thus my book brought me much literature from the Velikovsky band, but when I asked for concrete geological evidence ...
52. Discussion Comments From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... paleontological theories, following the principle of "superposition" (more recent levels will lie on top of more ancient levels), imply deposition of these remains in geologically separate strata; therefore, they could not anticipate that such remains would be found lying mixed together pell mell in the same strata. Correspondingly, in Mesopotamia we seem to encounter stratigraphic facts that, at the very least, throw into doubt the established chronology. Dwardu Cardona offers lengthy criticisms of Professor Heinsohn's chronology, though the latter's reconstruction does appear to be in harmony with the stratigraphic facts. For all the length of his criticism, Cardona's effort is not persuasive in spite of his help from Professor Stiebing, because ...
53. A Return to the Two Sargons and Their Successors [Journals] [Aeon]
... by way of a reply, were offered by both Heinsohn and Ginenthal in separate papers which they independently published in AEON on the heels of my critique. What did they have to say? Let me first start with Charles Ginenthal. "Stratigraphy as History"In a short paper, published as a letter to the editor, devoted to stratigraphical evidence, [12] Ginenthal wrote: "Dwardu Cardona offers lengthy criticisms of Professor Heinsohn's chronology, though the latter's reconstruction does appear to be in harmony with the stratigraphic facts. For all the length of his criticism, Cardona's effort is not persuasive in spite of his help from Professor Stiebing, because it essentially ignores this fundamental evidence ...
54. Troy and the Greek Dark Age [Journals] [Kronos]
... Achaeans could not effectively besiege Troy because of its great size - the Trojans were able to receive aid from all the nations of Asia Minor until the very end of the war. Whether or not Troy has really been found, the mound of Hissarlik remains one of the most carefully excavated sites of Mycenaean times: and it is to the stratigraphic sequence that we shall now turn. THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF HISSARLIK Any modern discussion of the stratigraphical situation at Troy must lean very heavily on the work of the University of Cincinnati expedition which dug at the site between 1932 and 1938 under the direction of Carl W. Blegen. The need for a new and definitive survey of Hissarlik arose in ...
55. Evidence for the Marine Deposition of Coal [Journals] [SIS Review]
... down, comes from the polystrate trees often discovered running through several coal measures (the strata that contain coal seams). Attention was drawn to these by Professor Derek Ager, Head of the Department of Geology, University College, Swansea, and the champion of "neo-catastrophism" in geology, in his seminal work, The Nature of the Stratigraphical Record (Macmillan 1973, reviewed by Professor Jan Terasmae in SISR I:4 ). ". .. we do from time to time find evidence, in all parts of the stratigraphic column, of very rapid and very spasmodic deposition in the most harmless of sediments. In the late Carboniferous Coal Measures of Lancashire, a fossil ...
56. Tektites, Wildfires and the Extinction of the Dinosaurs [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... by the nature of the evidence. The Berkeley palaeontologist Lowell Dingus has argued that "although catastrophic amounts of extinction might have occurred at the C-T transition, it seems unlikely that we can distinguish episodes of extinction lasting 100 years or less from episodes lasting as long as 100,000 years. Consequently, acceptance of catastrophic hypotheses based on these stratigraphic records seem improbably optimistic at this time[12]. In fact, although some groups may have died out more or less instantaneously, the extinction of other groups may have taken place over a million or more years [2 ,11,13,14]. Clearly, there is much work still to be done. References ...
57. On the Pendulum Experiment (Vox Popvli) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Bethesda, MD STRATIGRAPHY AND CATASTROPHISM To the Editor of KRONOS: Pursuant to the difference of opinion between KRONOS and the SIS Review regarding the period of the revised chronology following the 18th Dynasty (ca.- 1050 to- 830), allow me to make the following observation: The basic argument involves the primacy of sources- literary versus stratigraphic. In the KRONOS position, which follows Velikovsky beyond the 18th Dynasty (see Velikovsky in KRONOS III:3 and IV:3 ), we have the 18th and 19th Dynasties separated by approximately 150 years, the period being filled by the Libyan (22nd) and Ethiopian (25th) Dynasties, as well as the Assyrian domination ...
58. Seismology, Catastrophe, and Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... Hyksos immediately following the end of the Middle Kingdom as an effect of the dislocation of population; this end was not the result of the conquest but of the catastrophe that left Egypt prostrate and open to invasion. "In all sites examined till now in Western Asia, a hiatus or a period of extreme poverty caused a rupture of the stratigraphical and chronological sequence of the strata" (p . 564). "As to the nature of this third great upheaval- registered in all the lands of Western Asia at the end of the Middle Bronze- the effects of which, in certain areas, have extended into and until the Recent Bronze, we are reduced- at ...
59. Editor's Notes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of man but instead by seismic activity. During the last decade, eminent archaeologists have substantiated his claim and have linked destruction layers in Aegean and Near Eastern sites with natural disasters rather than with military conquests. The interpretation, however, which maintains that destruction layers are caused by seismic catastrophes, has been disputed due to the ambiguity of the stratigraphic record. The need for an accurate methodology of verifying the actual cause, extent and synchrony of Bronze Age destructions is therefore essential. Astronomy Research in the field of astronomical neo-catastrophism and impact cratering has quickened its pace since the early 1980s. An increasing number of astronomers have suggested that a series of cosmic disasters punctuated the Earth in prehistoric ...
60. Cuban Prehistory [Journals] [Kronos]
... dated at 4000 B.P . The material excavated by the Cuban archaeologists, Guarch and Teourbe-Tolon, with the collaboration of Kozlowski, was dated at 5100 B.P . by the Gliwise laboratory in Poland, the oldest such sample reported for all of the Antilles. In addition, Guarch, Kozlowski, and Tabío have recently realized rigorous stratigraphic excavations at both the Funche and Levisa sites. They have remarked on the evident parallelisms between the highly developed lapidary and other stoneworking techniques characteristic of the Guayabo Blanco phase of the Ciboney culture with those of the Paleoindian peoples of the North American continent.(8 ) Printing from Cave No. 1 "Punta del Este" Isla de ...
