62. Thoth Vol I, No. 11: May 3, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... on Mars, a Purdue University scientist says the rocky fragments can tell us something about the early life of the planet itself. Michael Lipschutz, professor of chemistry who has analyzed trace elements in 11 of the 12 known Martian meteorites, says the samples contain a different mix of volatile elements than do rock samples from Earth, indicating that the Red Planet was created from a different nebular womb. "It looks like the cloud of gas and dust from which Mars was born contained more volatile elements such as thallium, bismuth and cadmium than did the cloud from which Earth was formed," Lipschutz says. Prior studies of the oxygen isotopes in the Martian meteorites indicated that they all ...
63. The Double Axe and the Celestial Twins [Journals] [Aeon]
... , to slay dragons." [52] Vahagn is the Armenian version of the dragon slayers Thraetaona and Indra. Some of the most ancient and central of these Heroes are identified with the planet Mars, and it is strongly suspected that the complex of the mythical Hero as a whole may originally refer to the forms and movements of the red planet. If so, the role which the planet Mars played in the Saturnian configuration (as exemplified in past pages of this periodical) should not be overlooked. Two extensions seem to have been particularly cons-picuous in the apparition, which extensions were interpreted as arms, wings or the two blades of an axe. If the connection with ...

... have had abundant water, ice, and volcanism, life might have once existed there. Others believe it might still exist. And others not. Coming the closest to Earth this year (on August 27) -which seems to occur every 50,000 years-professional and amateur telescopes will have trained, and continue to train, on the red planet as never before. New data will accumulate. Some questions may be answered. But how many more questions will be raised? I have my own questions to ask. Does Mars have an internal dynamo as is posited for Earth? With Mars being so much smaller than Earth, why are its rocks more heavily magnetized than those ...

... again. They disturb an area of 1200 square km and shift 3 times the amount of sediment being brought down by the Yukon! Rivers on Mars?source: Scientific American May 86, pp.42-50 Viking Orbiter pictures suggest that Mars once supported flowing rivers, and that water action of these had caused evidence of considerable erosion on the Red Planet (Workshop 5:1 , p.25). Robert M. Haberle argues for an evolution of the climate of Mars which took it in an opposite direction to Earth: in its heyday Mars would have supported oceans which were tens to hundreds of metres deep, but now it is too cold to support any kind of ...
67. The New York Velikovsky Centenary Conference [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Myth and Modern Science, from which I quote the start and finish: On June 28, 1911 the inhabitants of Nakhla, Egypt were treated to a spectacular meteor shower. As it turns out, one of these rocks almost certainly came from the planet Mars, nearly 50 million miles away. The difficulty in dislodging a meteorite from the red planet, much less transporting one to Earth, has prompted several noted authorities to doubt their Martian origin. The meteorite's chemical imprint, however, not unlike the DNA evidence in a murder trial, leaves little doubt about its place of origin. Nor did this rock make the journey alone. To date, ten Martian meteorites have been ...
68. Thoth Vol II, No. 10: June 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... ' role in ancient myth and archaeoastronomy. Throughout the ancient world, the appearance of Mars was said to portend war, destruction, and pestilence. Why this would be the case if Mars had always moved as it does now, in a perfectly regular, distant orbit, is not easy to understand. Babylonian astronomical texts report that the red planet was regarded as the "eclipse-agent" par excellence. Other cultures likewise associate Mars with eclipses. Yet Mars' current orbit never brings it into a position whereby it could be viewed as eclipsing the sun. The ancient reports surrounding Mars, like those surrounding Venus, can be shown to have historical precedents. Once grasp the truth ...
69. Ladder to Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... Pillar or axis mundi commemorate a specific phase in the history of the polar configuration, one intimately related to the separation of heaven and Earth and the mythical "birth" of the warrior-hero (Mars). This spectacular series of events saw Mars move away from the center of Venus and descend along the shared polar axis towards Earth, the red planet eventually descending to a position visually beneath Saturn's massive disc. As Mars descended from Saturn/Venus, it grew visually larger in form. At the same time, a cloud of ethereal material became spread out between Mars and Earth, thereby giving rise to the appearance of a fiery pillar spanning the heavens. The luminous pillar associated ...

... adds that "Velikovsky deserves great credit for anticipating the Martian origin of certain meteorites." In the next paragraph he outlines the topics to be covered in his article, namely: a review of the evidence that some meteorites came from Mars; an examination of the various theories as to how the rocks came to be "expelled from the red planet"; and finally returns "to Velikovsky's thesis of planetary catastrophism" with respect to Mars and the Earth and the "raining forth [of] extraterrestrial debris." Several pages are devoted to the current scientific theories regarding the meteorites' ejection from Mars' surface and their subsequent transport to Earth. The most likely, but ...
