Thanks GiovannaNicoletta! I was going to post something about this today (or look for prior topics) after viewing a YouTube iteration of a short piece about this. I hooked up my disk player to broadband, and have been watching free streams for the past week.
Steven Collins ignores the fact that the Vale of Siddim, where the Cities of the Plain (or as he notes, "kirkar") were located is described in Genesis as "that is, the Salt Sea", because the terrain where the cities had been is now under the Dead Sea. He's correct in his rejection of the southern locations proposed in the 1930s, but he tries to find the sites on dry land, which is the same mistake made back then.
He's also, most amusingly, finding that the strata have nothing intervening to cover a 600 year long gap -- not surprisingly, the same figure that Velikovsky points out as having made it into the conventional pseudochronology.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. |
