... , depict the celestial theater completely unlike it is today? --the length of the day, month, and year, and the positions of the moon and planets are all "wrong." Velikovsky reviewed the anomalies which, from one discipline to another, lend support to his belief that global paroxysms convulsed the Earth in historical times. In cosmology, celestial mechanics, geology, evolutionary theory, and psychology he questioned assumptions-"of Victorian vintage" --which have remained unchanged despite the accumulation of evidence against them. Finally, of the students of religion he inquired: "Why was Jupiter- not as bright as the sun and not as important for our sustenance as the sun- why was ...
362. A New Introduction to Earth in Upheaval [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in some instances, like the discovery of a great submarine ridge encompassing the globe almost twice, the discoverer (B . Heezen) felt compelled to exclaim in print: The discovery at this late date of the midocean ridge and rift has raised fundamental questions about basic geological processes and the history of the earth and has even had reverberations in cosmology. (2 ) At his discovery of the whitish ash underlying the beds of all oceans and seas, the so-called Worzel Ash, J. L. Worzel was, too, led to exclaim in print: It may be necessary to attribute the layer to a world-wide volcanism or perhaps to the fiery end of bodies of cosmic origin ...
363. Focus Overseas [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Activities include: i) Surveys of the literature and mutual exchange of opinion; ii) getting in contact with experts in the different fields and with persons and groups with similar aims; and iii) the publicafion of AIfa, the Group's journal. The most popular study area so far has been parapsychology; another concerns itself with Velikovsky's cosmological theory. A "theme-issue" of Alfa dealing exclusively with Velikovsky is planned for later this year: although the journal is published in Finnish, this issue will include at least one paper in English, considering megalithic sites and ancient calendars in relation to Velikovsky's hypothesis. KRONOS, A Journal of Interdisciplinary Synthesis, c /o Prof. ...
364. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... questions currently facing geologists is a paper by Gerrit van der Lingen (U . Of Canterbury, N.Z .) reviewing modern thinking on ocean bottom currents and subaqueous dunes. Possible hypotheses are well presented, along with comments on confusing nomenclature. A further extract from H. C. Dudley's book presents his ideas of replacement of the cosmological ether by an energy-rich neutrino sea. Admitting with fetching humility that current theories cannot define all the parameters of nuclear reactions, especially in fusion processes, he emphasises that this ignorance could yet be the cause of an accident with unforeseen consequences on a terrifying scale. Peter Gretener (U . of Calgary), discussing continuity and discontinuity in ...
365. Velikovsky and the Apparatus of Scholarship [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Director of the Center for Velikovskian and Interdisciplinary Studies at Glassboro State College, and a Senior Editor of Kronos, to which he has contributed several studies of Velikovsky's reconstruction of ancient history as applied to Eastern Anatolia. Supporters of Velikovsky should beware of allowing interest in his theories to become a cult. Velikovsky's brilliant insights into ancient history and cosmology would be best served by a rigorous and critical examination rather than any attempt to defend his work wholesale against critics. This article is transcribed from a talk given by Professor Hewsen at a seminar on Velikovsky: The Decade Ahead, held in May 1980 at Princeton and sponsored by Kronos. Our thanks to Birgit Liesching for making the original ...

367. The Garden of Venus [Journals] [Aeon]
... females, the milk in females' breasts." [3 ] Anahita's health-giving spring, together with an equally fabulous garden and the plant of life (Haoma), is said to have been located atop Hara Berezaiti, the World Mountain of Persian lore. [4 ] Lenormant long ago called attention to the striking parallels between Iranian sacred cosmology and that from ancient India:: "Like the Meru of the Indians, Hara Berezaiti is the Pole, the centre of the world, the fixed point around which the sun and the planets perform their revolutions. Analogously to the Ganga of the Brahmans, it possesses the celestial fountain Ardvi-Sura, the mother of all terrestrial waters and ...

... , a Home Counties businessman, is co-founder and founding Chairman Of the Society; Mr O'Gheoghan is a professional physician. The planet Saturn, "encircled with A RING, donned of SERPENTS", a plate in Vol. VII of "Indian Antiquities" by Thomas Maurice (London, 1800). Testimony for the serpent motif in ancient cosmologies - and for an early knowledge of the rings? What is the reality behind Saturn's place as the original deity in cosmogonic myth? What is the significance of the "Golden Age" and other legends surrounding this planetary god? The following paper is based on an idea arrived at some years ago and presents the startling conclusions of the ...
369. Myths of the Great Flood (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... fifty different peoples or tribe's. All of them are remarkably similar; many of them have, on the other hand, individual traits. Their similarity has been taken as an indication that they are derived from the same original source; while their dissimilar passages are regarded as fanciful private additions to fanciful tales. But the mythological deductions from Hoerbiger's Cosmological Theory reveal the deluge myths in a different light. The deluge myths have not a common source, but a common cause: the Deluge itself. And this Deluge was a world wide event, by no means confined or confinable to the Lower Euphrates basin. This explains all the common features, the chief of which is the flooding ...
370. Fall of Cosmic Material (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... highlands rise out of the waters and therefore a Great Ebb is registered there; they hear the brunt of the fall of cosmic material, however. The northern and southern life zones have the worst of the Great Flood. Next, we must account for the whereabouts of the satellite's core material. It will be objected at once that Hoerbiger's Cosmological Theory must fail because, firstly, even if the Tertiary satellite were regarded as having had only half the mass of our present Moon, the whole Earth would be covered with a layer of debris some thirteen miles thick; and, secondly, because there are, apparently, no evidences of cosmic material lying littered about in tropical districts ...
