... land areas. As more of Earth is covered by sea than land this would suggest statistically that 10-20 have hit the planet somewhere in the last 200 years. When I say hit' I don't necessarily mean landed - they may have exploded in the air but caused explosions greater than the Hiroshima bomb. Genesis records one enormous disaster, the Deluge. Although the Old Testament stories about places like Sodom and Gomorrah, the destruction of the firstborn of Egypt and the army of Sennacherib tell how large numbers of people were killed by other than human agency, in each case a lot of animals must have died but no mention of those. Uniquely in the case of the Deluge the ...
92. Myths of the Great Fire (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 10 Myths of the Great Fire Less universal than the deluge myths, though not less striking, the reports of a Great Fire which swept over the Earth as it of the great cosmic catastrophe which also caused the eat Flood. Their relative infrequency may be chiefly due to e fact that the bombardment with glowing or heated cosmic material was only observed by the inhabitants of a relatively narrow zone, which was mostly covered by the waters of the girdle-tide. Men living farther to the north and south saw the more or less distant fire-rain without experiencing much of it themselves ...
93. The Descent Into Barbarism (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... This is a significant and reiterated theme in the Atlantis myth. The cataclysm `destroyed their records, and indeed all their civilization' (23a), for `many of those who had carried on the tradition perished' (109d). So `they had to begin all over again' (23b). But life in the deluge scoured wastes was hard. `They and their descendants were for many generations in want of the common necessaries of life, and had to turn their minds solely to the supply of their material needs, which was their one and only topic of conversation' (109e). No wonder that they `forgot the story of the events ...

... : Everyone would regard such accounts as perfectly credible." Plato, Laws, Vol. 1, Book III transl. R. G. Bury (Cambridge, Mass., 1926), pp. 167-173 "A significant legend recounted by [Ignatius] Donnelly was that of the Chinese astronomers were said to have reported that following the deluge, the moon, sun, and stars were seen to rise and set in new locations, on the horizon. Only a change in the Earth's axis would have produced this effect, and it is very unlikely that a primitive people would have dreamed up this legend if it had not actually happened. Too often, men of science ...
95. The Rise of Blood Sacrifice [Journals] [Aeon]
... ," (29) but not yet sufficiently intelligible. So much for modern researchers! What about the people who lived when civilization, i.e . the Bronze Age with blood sacrifice and its staff of priestly royalty began? They do not leave us uninformed. The earliest extant text on the subject known from Mesopotamia, "The Deluge," relates the emergence of cult-centres to some disaster that had struck the earth: "My mankind, in its destruction I will... I will return the people to their settlements After the... of kingship had been lowered from heaven, After the exalted tiara and the throne of kingship had been lowered from heaven ...
96. The Sun Ages, Prologue Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the various catastrophes the world has suffered."(1 ) Ixtlilxochitl (circa 1368-1648), the native Indian scholar, in his annals of the kings of Tezcuco, described the world ages by the names of "suns."(2 ) The Water Sun (or Sun of Waters) was the first age, terminated by a deluge in which almost all creatures perished; the Earthquake Sun or age perished in a terrific earthquake when the earth broke in many places and mountains fell. The world age of the Hurricane Sun came to its destruction in a cosmic hurricane. The Fire Sun was the world age that went down in a rain of fire.(3 ) ...
97. On the Circularization of the Orbit of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VII No. 2 (Winter 1982) Home | Issue Contents On the Circularization of the Orbit of Venus Ragnar Forshufvud ABSTRACT After the Saturn nova outburst that caused the Deluge, a flat cloud of hydrogen gas would have been rotating around the Sun. The aerodynamic drag caused by the hydrogen gas may have changed the orbit of Venus substantially in a period of a few hundred years. This is demonstrated by numerical calculations, using a theoretical model for the gas cloud. The effects of the gas on electric and magnetic fields in space are also discussed. Velikovsky's reconstruction of ancient astronomical events requires that the orbit of Venus, originally elliptic like that of ...

... inner court. (4 ) The house was filled with the cloud. ' The breakdown itself is not described, but the whole Book of Ezekiel endeavours to illustrate the terrors of the day of wrath', though not in any cosmological sense. The concluding chapters, as we might expect, contain descriptions of the New Earth after the Deluge, and the Holy City, and the Temple. II. THE COSMIC PHENOMENA DESCRIPTIVE OF THE BEGINNING AND ADVANCE OF THE BREAKDOWN OF THE TERTIARY SATELLITE; AND THE TERRESTRIAL PHENOMENA CAUSED BY THE DOWNRUSH OF THE DISINTEGRATED MATERIAL AND THE GRADUAL WANING AND FINAL END OF THE SATELLITE'S GRAVITATIONAL POWERS (REVELATION VI) THE MYTH (cont.) ...

... and global cataclysms are considered as godly revelations dealing exclusively with monstrous events supposed to trigger Judgment Day. In fact, this has not always been the case. In a book published nearly 230 years ago, the reader is told: We have seen so far that all the major festivals and mystery plays of antiquity follow the model of the Deluge and the great revolutions of the terrestrial crust'. [1 ] Nicolas-Antoine Boulanger [2 ] (1722-1759), who left us this statement, was a geologist, sociologist and civil engineer [3 ]. For Diderot's Encyclopaedie he wrote the entries Déluge, Corvée and Société. The evolutionist dogma of an extremely slow, peaceful and ...

... to Naaman in the waters of Jordan, and even to Moses taken out of the water. Its nomenclature has been extensive but consistent. In Greek literature it was Water-pourer, transliterated by Catullus as Hydroehoiis, and by Germanicus as Hydrochobs ; although the latter also called it Aquitenens and Fundens latices, saying that it personified Deucalion of the Greek Deluge, 1500 B.C . Ausonius had Urnam qui tenet; Manilius, Aequoreus Juvenis, or simply Juvenis, and Ganymedes, the beautiful Phrygian boy, son of Tros and cup-bearer of Jove, of whom Statius wrote in his Thebais. Then from the chase Jove's towering eagle bears, On golden wings, the Phrygian to the stars ...
