This is a great article!
I grew up in the Tri-Cities at the top of the bend of the Columbia just before it turns West.
Thanks for the post.
It was fascinating.
When NatGeo isn’t moralizing about stuff they shouldn’t they have some really good articles.
Velikovsky discusses the multiple floods - the parting of the Red Sea being the most prominent one he references - along with their probable cause (near passby of Venus). All of which is recent enough in documented world history to not need 13,000 years of silliness. :)
Well, we all know now that the science is settled. It was human activity and carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that caused this to create global warming and climate change. (sarc)
The hills where I lived in Moscow, Idaho were current ripples from this.
Yes, and now that he is dead anyone can say anything about the theory. What is funny is that NatGeo actually published this article with so many tidbits like:
Bretz was making arguments, and no one was going into the field to see anything, Baker said. They were just countering his arguments with theory. And because scientists are first and foremost human beings, theyre loathe to change their theories or their minds because of mere data.
...But that might just compound the error, because it neglects the fact that scientists almost always favor their own theories over others, and rarely are those theories completely right....
...The authorities in the field were invested in a particular theory, and contrary evidence was dismissed without an adequate hearing...
But yeah that was the 20th century, good thing for us that we can sleep like babies in the 21st century - you know, since all of our scientist are 100% accurate and honest now.
Amazing vistas!
Do you know if anyone ever searches the gravel piles for Gold, etc?
Worlds in Collision is one of my favorites. I think I’ll reread it again! Venus has been very big and bright the last couple of weeks.
At the southern end of the flood scablands is the Wallula gap. It is a 2 kilometer opening in the solid basalt walls that the Columbia River flows today. When the Missoula flood hit the Wallula gap, the volume of flood was so great that it started to back up an form a lake in the lower scablands. At peak flow it is estimated the volume of water flowing through the Wallua gap to be 10 million cubic meters per second.
Bttt!
Never heard of it.
Gold panning in Washington is a pretty limited hobby.
