... " and "transmogrified into an icon of terror and hate." The author is no stranger either to myself or, probably, to most AEON readers, since he served as an associate editor of the journal Pensée in the early 70s, which was the intellectual source of this reviewer's first exposure to Immanuel Velikovsky's writings on ancient history and cosmology. Following that, Greenberg went on to become a driving force in the subsequent journal KRONOS and, later, one of the editors for AEON. He is currently a professor of Ancient & Oriental Art History at the Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia. This is the first volume of a new series, appropriately titled " ...
322. Epic Postscript [Journals] [Kronos]
... audiences and made the most money.(2 ) The movie theater became a quasi-temple as Americans immersed themselves in a vicarious religion of cinematic spiritual fantasy. [* It would appear that Americans resorted to the classic principle of epic conversion in order to sublimate the psychological effects of the War years; film became the perfect medium. See "Cosmology and Psychology," KRONOS 1, No. I (Spring, 1975), the section "The Fountain of Forgetfulness."] Between 1949 and 1965, a veritable spate of Epics appeared on the American theater screen, possibly peaking in 1959 with the unparalleled Academy Award and monetary success of Ben-Hur.(3 ) By 1963 ...
323. The Crescent [Books]
... it in a perpetual blaze. (33) The Syrian and Hittite great gods stand equally balanced upon two mountains. (34) In the beginning, according to a central Asiatic legend related by Uno Holmberg, "there was only water, from which the two great mountains emerged." (35) From the central mount of Hindu cosmology rise two secondary peaks to the right and left. (36) Of course, the twin pillars of Hercules point to the same idea. The ancient concept of a cleft summit left a deep imprint in ancient architecture, according to Vincent Scully, author of the book The Earth, the Temple and the Gods. In Crete, ...
324. Mankind in Amnesia by Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... of our time. His first epoch-making book, Worlds in Collision, kindled a worldwide debate — undiminished after three decades — of such fervor as is reserved only for books that lay bare new fundamentals. Now, in the first of several posthumous publications, we have a companion volume to Velikovsky's masterpiece. Though widely known for his writings on cosmology and ancient history, Velikovsky began his career as a psychoanalyst, and earned the respect of such pioneers in that field as Bleuler, Freud, and Stekel (see "About the Author," following the text). MANKIND IN AMNESIA, in which the author's theory of cosmic catastrophism finds its psychological counterpart, is the product of ...
325. Antiquated Textbooks: Redesigning the Solar System [Journals] [Aeon]
... celestial mechanics, gravitation and inertia were insufficient to account for even the present motion of the celestial bodies. It did not need Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision to make it obvious that electromagnetic forces had to have a part in the complex workings of the Solar System. As early as 1650, Descartes had already pointed out as much, but his cosmology was overthrown by the later Newtonian mechanics because scientific observation had not provided any evidence in support of the Cartesian universe. That evidence has since been found. Some of the evidence preceded Velikovsky. Solar flares, it had already been noticed, do not follow the law of gravitation. The exploded matter on the Sun does not erupt in ...
326. Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ) the mechanism for the shift was earth-crust displacement [2 ], though this does not rule out the possibility of a collision with a huge asteroid. Much of the evidence for this will be familiar to SIS members, though the manner of assessing it may not please some. There is reference to myths, legends, ancient astronomy, cosmology, geology etc. Velikovsky's Earth in Upheaval [3 ] is mentioned several times re Lake Titicaca, fossils in volcanic ash, whale skeletons at high altitude, radio frequencies affected by Jupiter, the moon and earthquakes; Worlds in Collision [4 ] is cited once re world ages in the Sibylline Books but Velikovsky's theories are not mentioned ...
327. Back to the Drawing Board? [Journals] [Kronos]
... (1 ) in search of new theories about our brilliant neighbor in space. At that drawing board they find already seated a most discomforting companion, a scientist whose views about the history of the solar system, long condemned as heretical and crackpot, continue to receive confirmation from each discovery. Thirty years ago, Immanuel Velikovsky proposed a revolutionary cosmological reconstruction: our past has been marked by repeated cataclysms caused by the shifting of planetary orbits, the most recent of which - the signs and wonders and miracles described in the Books of Exodus, Joshua, and Isaiah - were precipitated by the eruption of Venus into the inner solar system as a gigantic cometary protoplanet. Though Velikovsky established ...
328. The Book Case [Journals] [Kronos]
... . II No. 4 (Summer 1977) Home | Issue Contents The Book Case An up-to-date, well-documented, and highly readable discussion of the theories of Immanuel Velikovsky, as well as their reception by the scientific and academic communities.

329. In Defence of Sir Fred Hoyle [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (c ) New Scientist In some ways, the astronomical community has never forgiven Hoyle for not accepting the big bang theory for the origin of the Universe, but I have not yet come across similar hostility shown towards Jayant Narlikar, a former Hoyle collaborator, who never recanted either, and whose work still involved finding alternatives to the controversial cosmology. However, the ideas that worry the scientific community most are these: first, that life did not originate on Earth; secondly, that it did originate in space; and thirdly, that evolution in space requires "cosmic control". Biologists, of course, do not like physicists treading on their patch (a sociological aside ...
