是的,諾亞、亞當和夏娃、歐西里斯、塔羅阿、宙斯和毘濕奴如今有了更深刻的意義;當他們手牽手與我們同行時,我們彷彿聽到亞當和夏娃說:
“聽著——現在我們終於可以真正地和你們分享我們的故事了!”
We once thought that severe Sun spots could be the cause, because they do disrupt the Earth's inner electrical and magnetic structure, but we were wrong.
The time wasted on that assumption was the price for dealing in assumptions rather than facts. It was a bad detour to take. What was necessary was to be patient, to take more time; to assemble more facts; and use our most valuable tool, analytical reasoning. The solution, whatever it might be, would come.
The derivation of the process gave us a greater understanding of prehistoric events. For instance, you can see that ice ages are not a matter of advancing and retreating ice; it's simply that different areas of the Earth are in polar regions at different times, for different durations of time; changes between positions take place in a fraction of a day, and the accompanying | supersonic deluges deposit the various huge stratas we find in the walls of the Grand Canyon, Painted Desert, Monument Valley, the mountains around Mexican Hat, Canyon de Chelly, and the Moqui Dugway.
目前我們尚不清楚為何每隔幾千年,淺層熔融層中的磁場和電場有序性就會按照不同的時間表發生紊亂。此外,我們也不清楚這種紊亂是如何發生的。必然存在某種機制,能夠降低淺層熔融層的能量,使其能夠像自由液體一樣流動,從而起到潤滑劑的作用,推動冰蓋圍繞地球內部移動,最終使冰蓋向熱帶地區移動約90度。
在短短一刻鐘到半天的時間裡,地理極點移動到了熱帶,一切都將陷入混亂。大氣層、地球的海洋和湖泊不會隨著地殼移動——它們只會繼續自西向東旋轉——在赤道附近,這種旋轉速度約為每小時1037英里。通常情況下,為了每天完成一次自轉,它們必須達到這樣的速度。因此,當地殼隨著極點向赤道移動時,風和海洋繼續向東運動,以超音速席捲全球,淹沒大陸,海水深達數英里,摧毀人類曾經擁有的一切,包括人類自身。以上是整個過程的概述。
那麼,究竟是什麼呢?這成了整個謎題中最難以捉摸的部分。我們不能依賴某種超自然的假設——例如某些模糊的天象,它們實際上違背了自然規律;不,它一定是某種自然現象,是自然界正常結構的一部分,每當災難發生時,它就會擾亂地球內部的電磁結構。它也必須是某種能夠削弱地球內部電磁力的事件,以致於地球內部的電磁力無法維持淺層熔融層像塑性物質或近乎固體的狀態。
最外層厚達 60 英里,為火山爆發的熔岩提供了源源不絕的物質。
地球內部的電磁結構使得各層物質的行為如同近乎固體或塑性一般。只要地球內部的電磁結構保持有序狀態,這顆古老的地球就能繼續以正常的方式繞軸自轉。
如果有人懷疑南極冰蓋是否在增長,那麼事實已經證明,它的增長速度相當於每年一個安大略湖的面積。格陵蘭島的冰蓋也在成長。由於它們並非位於地球自轉軸的中心,因此會產生相互耦合的離心力,方向垂直於地球自轉軸。這就像用繩子甩一桶水一樣。水會留在桶子裡;如果沒有繩子,桶子和水就會飛走。對冰蓋來說,重力就是那根約束繩,它讓這兩個冰蓋被困在陸地上。由於這些冰蓋無法飛走,它們透過試圖將整個地球外殼拉到地球內部60英里厚的熔融層之上來解決這個問題。只要地球內部的電磁結構保持不變,冰蓋就無法拉動外殼使其移動到赤道,我們也因此得以維持有序的每日、每月、每年的自轉。
因此,經過1949年開始的多年研究,居維葉的挑戰終於有了答案:的確,災難會發生;但我尚未找到他挑戰的答案,即這些事件的起因。我又花了二十年才找到災難的起因,也就是觸發因素。是什麼引發了災難?更進一步說,災難發生之後究竟發生了什麼事?災難的過程是怎麼樣的?最後,災難的時間表是什麼?從數據中已經可以明顯看出,它是非線性的。我們能否從數據中推導出某種數學函數?或者,它完全隨機,其不可預測性令人沮喪?學得越多,需要發現和學習的東西就越多。
同時,這真是一場驚心動魄的追尋!我們發現了地球歷史中多麼激動人心的故事:兩萬多年前的文明比我們最狂野的想像還要先進;來自希臘、埃及、印度和南美洲的史前傳說變成了歷史,而非傳說;大西洋和太平洋中消失的大陸變成了確鑿的事實,它們的突然消失也有了合乎邏輯的原因。
是的,毘濕奴復活了:他曾親歷數千年前的一場大災變──確切地說是十次大災變之前!如今,他被尊為印度教中十次從水中復活的神。歐西里斯也被重新發現;他是他那個時代的耶穌──一位生活在約15,000年前的埃及人。諾亞從《吉爾伽美甚史詩》的篇章中向我們微笑;他其實是一位名叫烏特納比什提姆的蘇美人,生活在約7000年前。他建造的方舟不只是一個傳說。
災難性事件的發生過程現在已經為人所知。
看看封面內頁的地球剖面圖。你會看到兩層熔融層——圖中黃色的部分。其中最重要的是較薄的熔融層,它從地表下60英里處開始,向下延伸60英里,直到地表下120英里處。另一層厚而深的熔融層,從地函底部1800英里處開始,向下延伸1300英里,就是外核。地震學已經證實這兩層黃色熔融層都是熔融的,而且溫度極高,超過華氏2500度。
"These alternations now appear to me to form the problem in geology that it is of most importance to solve....in order to solve it satisfactorily, it would be necessary to discover the cause of these events.... These ideas have haunted, I may almost say have tormented me, during my researches among fossil bones...... researches which embrace buta very small part of those phenomena of the age preceding the last general revolution of the globe, and which are yet intimately connected with all the others..."
Many attempts have been made to answer the charge made to the geological profession by Cuvier to explain these sudden revolutions in the wrong direction.
Among others, Velikovsky tried it through his studies of myths and legends; Hapgood tried it; Hugh Brown attempted, and in the process amassed a tremendous library of geological data.
Every time the cataclysmic concept has risen, the "beast" has been stoned, burned at the stake, beaten to a pulp, and buried with a vengeance; but the corpse won't stay dead. Each time, it raises the lid of its coffin and says in sepulchral tones: "You will die before I."
The latest of the challengers is Prof. Frank C. Hibben, who in his book, The Lost Americans*, said: ".....This was no ordinary extinction of a vague geological period which fizzled to an uncertain end. This death was catastrophic and all inclusive....What caused the death of forty million animals.... The "corpus delicti" in this mystery may be found almost anywhere. .... Their bones lie bleaching in the sands of Florida and in the gravels of New Jersey. They weather out of the dry terraces of Texas and protrude from the sticky ooze of the tar pits off Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles.... The bodies of the victims are everywhere....We find literally thousands together....young and old, foal with dam, calf with cow.....The muck pits of Alaska are filled with evidence of universal death....a picture of quick extinction....Any argumentas to the cause....must apply to North America, Siberia, and Europe as well.
THE GREAT FLOODS
Noah? Adam and Eve? Vishnu? Osiris? What do they have in common? They represent eras ages apart - and yet, somehow, they all join hands in the next cataclysm, and walk with us.
There are others who walk with us, too: men of science - long forgotten - those who first saw that these tumbles, these cataclysmic catastrophes, or “revolutions” of the earth's shell have happened before, countless times. J. Andre DeLuc in 1779 and Georges Cuvier in 1812 were the foremost. Dolomieu, the famous mineralogist, joined the consensus, as did Escher and Forel, the Swiss geologists; also J. Andre DeLuc Jr. and Von Buch. They all agreed that the cataclysms were caused by sudden revolutions in the wrong direction by the surface of the earth.
Cuvier, in his Theory of the Earth, first published in 1812, based his conclusions on his unparalleled correlative research in stratigraphy, comparative anatomy, and palaeontology. As a matter of fact, Cuvier was the founder of the science of comparative anatomy, based on his pioneering, self-taught work in that field. At that time he wrote: "Every part of the earth, every hemisphere, every continent, exhibits the same phenomenon....... There has, therefore, been a succession of variations in the economy of organic nature........ the various catastrophes which have disturbed the strata........ have given rise to numerous shiftings of this (continental) basin....It is of much importance to mark, that these repeated irruptions and retreats of the sea have neither been slow nor gradual; on the contrary, most of the catastrophies which occasioned them have been sudden; and this is especially easy to be proved, with regard to the last of these catastrophes....I agree, therefore, with MM. DeLuc and Dolomieu, in thinking, that ifanything in geology be established, it is, that the surface of our globe has undergone a great and sudden revolution, the date of which ....cannot be....much earlier than five or six thousand years ago....(also), one preceding revolution at least had put (the continents) under water....perhaps two or three irruptions of the sea."
新的極地地區開始形成新的冰蓋。格陵蘭島和南極洲展現出鬱鬱蔥蔥的熱帶植被。澳洲是北溫帶一片未知的全新大陸,廣袤無垠的土地上只有寥寥幾個倖存者。紐約沉入大西洋底,支離破碎,被地火焚毀,並被難以置信的厚厚泥漿覆蓋。舊金山、洛杉磯、芝加哥、達拉斯和波士頓,都已消失得無影無蹤。它們都將加入西博拉七城的傳說。
埃及的殘存部分從地中海的淹沒中重見天日,地勢更高,煥然一新——依然是古老的土地。我們這個時代的尋常景象,變成了新時代神秘的巴勒貝克。
新時代!沒錯,這場災難的確完成了它的使命。有史以來最偉大的人口調節器再次為人類做了他自己和他賴以生存的星球所不願做的事,並將可憐的少數倖存者推入了新的石器時代。
這場災難之後,我們與諾亞、亞當和夏娃、亞特蘭蒂斯、姆大陸和奧林匹斯山重聚——耶穌與奧西里斯、塔羅阿、宙斯和毘濕奴重聚。
南極洲和格陵蘭島連同它們的冰蓋,如今在熱帶地區繞著地球旋轉;狂風和洪水肆虐了六天。到了第六天,海水開始在新家園中平靜下來,從高地奔流而下。
第七天,這場可怕的浩劫終於結束。北極冰河時期終結,新的石器時代開啟。海洋——偉大的均質器——在廣闊的平原上,於原有地層之上,沉積了又一層厚厚的泥漿,正如大峽谷、彩繪沙漠、紀念碑谷和惡地國家公園的地貌所展現的那樣。
位於印度東部的孟加拉灣盆地如今已到達北極點。位於秘魯西部的太平洋則已到達南極點。格陵蘭島和南極洲如今正向赤道旋轉,它們的冰蓋在熱帶高溫下瘋狂融化。巨大的冰水牆湧向海洋,裹挾著一切——從山脈到平原——以洶湧澎湃的路徑席捲而來,同時形成巨大的季節性冰磧。不到25年,冰蓋便消失殆盡,全球海平面因新湧入的水量而上升超過200英尺。由於冰蓋融化向大氣中傾瀉大量水汽,熱帶地區將在未來幾代人的時間裡被濃霧籠罩。
歐洲無法逃脫這股衝擊。洶湧的大西洋裹挾著呼嘯的東風,層層堆積,越發洶湧。阿爾卑斯山、比利牛斯山、烏拉爾山和斯堪的納維亞山脈先是劇烈搖晃,然後在海浪沖擊下更加高聳。
西非和撒哈拉沙漠在自然的怒火中消失殆盡,飽受狂風和海洋的肆虐。扎伊爾、南非和肯亞之間的地區只遭受強烈的地震和強風侵襲,很少發生洪水。那裡的倖存者驚嘆於太陽,它幾乎整整半天都靜止在天空中。
東西伯利亞和東方地區確實遭遇了奇異的命運──彷彿一把巨大的地下鐮刀正席捲大地,伴隨著狂風的嘶吼,奏響了一曲超音速的死亡與毀滅交響曲。隨著北極盆地離開其極地家園,東西伯利亞、滿洲、中國和緬甸遭受了與南美洲同樣的毀滅性打擊:狂風、地火、洪水和冰凍。叢林動物被狂風撕成碎片,堆積成血肉之軀,最後被同質化的海水和泥漿雪崩掩埋。隨後,可怕的、彷彿無窮無盡的、瞬間令人麻痺的溫度驟降180華氏度。整個東亞大陸,無論是人、動物、植物、泥土、土地或水,無一倖免於難,而這片大陸的大部分地區仍然低於海平面。
