... appreciation to Donald W. Patten for his support and for allowing us to reprint this article from SYMPOSIUM ON CREATION VI. The preflood canopy theory has found favor with many creation scientists1 as an explanation of three kinds of evidence:(1 ) suggestions or implications in Scripture concerning a different atmospheric order before the deluge; (2 ) other traditions speaking of a climatic golden age in earlier times; and (3 ) fossil evidence that in preglacial times there were warmer conditions in high altitudes and wetter conditions in present-day deserts. The essential mechanism proposed is a radiation trap or greenhouse effect which raises temperatures beyond those expected from sunlight alone. The source of radiant energy is indeed the ...
472. The Seven-Gated Thebes and The Hundred-Gated Thebes. Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... From "Oedipus and Akhnaton" © 1960 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Seven-Gated Thebes and The Hundred-Gated Thebes THEBES, the ancient capital of Boeotia in Greece, located in rolling country, was once one of the most famous cities of the Hellenes. According to tradition, it was founded by Cadmus, who, coming from the Phoenician coast, brought the art of writing to the Hellenes. With almost no other city in Greece were there so many legends connected as with Thebes. For many centuries it was a city filled with pride in its past, in which all Hellenes participated. Even Hercules' nativity was sometimes placed in Thebes; Hercules tended ...

Wal Thornhill- From time immemorial the planet Venus has fascinated terrestrial skywatchers, and cultures everywhere assigned it a prominent role in their mythological traditions and religious rituals. Already at the dawn of recorded history, Sumerian priests composed hymns in honor of the planet which they venerated as the goddess Inanna "To her who appears in the sky, to her who appears in the sky, I want to address my greeting, to the hierodule who appears in the sky, I want ...
474. Chapter VI: the Probable Hor-shesu Worship [Books]
... Chapter VI The Probable Hor-shesu Worship AT the end of the last chapter I referred to the Hor-shesu or followers, that is worshippers, of the Sun-god Horus. I shall have to refer to the traditions relating to them at a later stage, but it is well that I should state here that those personages who preceded the true historic period are considered by De Rougé and others to represent "le type de l'antiquité la plus reculée." Let us for the moment accept the truth of the various traditions relating to them, and suppose that they left traces of their worship, what, in the light of the last chapter, should we expect to find? The thing ...
475. Velikovsky and his Heroes [Articles]
... . The letters of Rib-Addi in the El-Amarna archive, he writes, "disclose the human nature of their author. He was a man with a heavy heart, sad and worried. The events of his time and his land justified this state of mind. He impressed his people, too, by his melancholy." Even the Rabbinical tradition, Velikovsky maintains, could not close its eyes to Ahab's patriotism and the deep emotions of his perjured soul. Velikovsky's treatment of Ahab in history reflects this tangible sympathy. Velikovsky argues that a contradiction exists between the accounts of Ahab in the Books of Kings, and the Books of Chronicles so that, Velikovsky claims, Ahab did not ...
476. Were the "Sumerians of the Third Millennium" in Reality the Chaldeans of the First Millennium? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... but certainly not as a main pillar, as done here. 47b The question of Abraham is extremely complex, in which every view is tentative. Despite the fine work of van Seters and Thompson in dispelling modern myths concerning the figure of Abraham, they cannot supply proof of a first millennium existence for him. This applies also to the traditional view as well as the emerging early third millennium associations of Abraham by David Noel Freedman, John J. Bimson, and myself. This is, however, beyond the scope of the present study, but more can be said on a future occasion. Also, while it was once true that Assyriology and Sumeriology, as well as ...
477. Prehistory and Earth Models [Books]
... zone suggests that the same mechanism should be invoked to explain both the time-clock and the alteration zones. It is most unlikely, for instance, that the y(x ) and dy/dx(x ) curves would be completely continuous across this boundary if two separate mechanisms were to apply to the two (hypothetically) separate zones. Traditionally, the smooth increase of the y(x ) curve with x in the time-clock zone has been attributed only to enrichment by U-decay without mass transfer or alteration (except, of course, for final concentration by removal of the uranium source). This mechanism cannot apply in the alteration zone, because the y(x ) relations ...
478. The Determinants of Scientific Behaviour [Journals] [SIS Review]
... not a particularly fruitful one. This is not surprising, since the idea of norms for explaining scientific behaviour was not originally based on observations of scientific behaviour at all, but upon a few sociologists' ideas about how scientists should behave - in order for their ideas to make sense! Since the functionalist explanation using norms is linked with the traditional Popperian falsificationist philosophy of science, it is not surprising that the advent of the more relativistic Kuhnian approach (Kuhn, 1970; Polanyi, 1958; Lakatos and Musgrave, 1970; Barnes, 1974) should lead to a different approach to the explanation of scientists' behaviour. The new approach is well expressed in the work of Mulkay ...

... is believed to have already ceased to exist around -1400, to which level I is dated. Tell Asmar (ancient Eshnunna) revealed a rod of nearly transparent light green glass below an Ur III foundation.(67) This piece- to the surprise of historians- "is peculiarly similar to Neo-Assyrian glass which indicates a certain continuity and tradition in the craft of Mesopotamian glass making."(68) Why, however, a tradition 1500 years older was revived by Neo-Assyrians, who could have drawn from much younger sources at their disposal, remains quite mysterious. From Eridu, remembered as the most ancient city of Mesopotamia, comes a lump of cullit(69) belonging ...
480. The el-Amarna Letters (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... Omri] bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria. Since vowels were a late interpolation in the Hebrew Bible, inserted by the Masoretes (" carriers of the tradition") over a thousand years after the Old Testament had been completed, the name Semer can also be read Sumur. Samaria was surrounded by a strong wall, and remnants of it have been unearthed. The city had a magnificent royal palace, and the ruins of it are seen today. The identity of Sumur (Sumura) ...
