S.I.S. Review

Journal of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies



Articles
Dr Earl R. Milton: Electric Stars in a Gravity-Less Electrified Cosmos6
In a Universe whose workings are governed mainly by electricity rather than gravity, many problems disappear, "black holes" become unnecessary and the catastrophic events proposed by Velikovsky would be likely.
Dr John J. Bimson: Dating the Wars of Seti I13
Resemblances between Seti's I's Palestine campaign records and wars in Israel under King Jehoahaz suggest a placement of Seti in the 9th century. This article completes the outline for the XIXth Dynasty as proposed by the "Glasgow Chronology", which supports Velikovsky's contentions though modifying his original scheme.
EXTRA: Problems of Continental Drift
Dr Immanuel Velikovsky: A new introduction to Earth in Upheaval
