... , providing a completely new picture of the ancient world at a very appropriate juncture in modern history - the new millennium. Although there is considerable evidence of these encounters on the Earth and the planets, the primary source of this detail in our scenario comes from ancient myths. In them, the number of encounters, and the floods, earthquakes and thunderbolts that marked each, are clearly spelled out with a detail that could never be determined by examining the physical evidence remaining today. Indeed, we claim that the entire body of sacred myth of all cultures is no more and no less than descriptions of close encounters of Venus and Mars with the Earth. These encounters profoundly effected ...
182. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Three [Books]
... seems to me most likely that the "thing to be dreaded" refers to the ruinous state of Egypt and to the approach of the Asiatics mentioned in line 18. v) If the Ermitage Papyrus does indeed describe the aftermath of the Venus Comet, it is curious that there is no mention of any meteorites, burning naphtha, severe earthquakes, and rains of blood' or verminous plagues. As I see it, too many aspects of V's scenario are not mentioned in the story told by the papyrus. Look again at line 18 and 19: Neferrohu is conjuring up the condition of the East when the Asiatics approach. He conjures up nothing about the approach of a ...
183. The Causal Source for the Climatic Changes at 2300 BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... for the overall event was the widespread and dramatic climatic changes arising from an abrupt cooling of the Earth. This caused a significant synchronous glacial buildup in both Polar and sub-Polar regions. The increased loading on the land areas and decreased loading in ocean areas (due to water taken by the glaciers) resulted in global crustal stress, leading to earthquakes and crustal deformation. Cultures in all geographical regions were affected by these climatic and geological disturbances. In the areas of the most advanced cultures, climate deterioration brought about survival hardships. The disastrous earthquakes brought about by crustal stress caused large-scale site abandonments but the climatic effects were the dominant influence on people. This paper covers the climatic changes ...
184. Samples From The Planets, Part 2 Mars Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... to "be far from us and far the stone which you hurl." When comets pass close to the earth, stones occasionally fall; the classic case is that of the meteorite that fell at Aegospotami when a comet shone in the sk y.1 The Hindu book of Varahasanhita sees in the meteorites portents of devastation by fire and earthquake.2 Since the planets were gods, stones hurled by them or by the comets created in their encounters, were feared as divine missiles,3 and when they fell and were found, they were worshipped. The stone of Cronus at Delphi,4 the image of Diana at Ephesus, which, according to Acts (19: ...

... unto their fathers," and they were doomed to wander forty years in the wilderness. And it was said to them: NUMBERS 14:25 Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley. Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea. The desert with its dreadful experiences - earthquakes, cleavage of the earth, outbursts of flame, disappearance of springs-terrified the Israelites. A plague killed thousands, the flesh of wild fowl in their teeth. These were quail, put to flight like the Israelites who fled from Egypt, the Amalekites from Arabia, and the wild beasts that fled to the domicile of man, and ...

187. The Terrible Ones, Part 2 Mars Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... " Similarly, the Babylonians saw the planet Mars-Nergal in the company of demons, and wrote their hymns to Nergal:2 "Great giants, raging demons, with awesome members, run at his right and at his left." These "raging demons" are pictured also in the Nerga l-Eriskigal poem;3 they bring pestilence and cause earthquakes. It appears that the mythological figures of the Furies of the Latins or the Erinyes of the Greeks, with serpents winding about their heads and arms, flashing flame with their eyes, swinging torches around like wheels, grew out of the same prodigies which moved rapidly, changed their forms hourly, and acted violently. The Erinyes travelled ...
188. The Siberian Meteorite Of 1908 [Books]
... was so strong that people could read their newspapers by it. The same night, at about 10 p.m ., people in Britain noticed that suddenly the sky was becoming light instead of darkening. It became almost as clear as by day. At the same time, all over Europe and Asia, microbarographs and seismographs registered an earthquake, the centre of which was located in central Siberia. The following days displayed magnificent sunsets with glorious greens, reds, and yellows. The phenomena were duly noted by scientists, but no explanation could be provided. Then came the First World War and, naturally, the matter was forgotten. A little after 1920 news reached the ...
189. Velikovsky's Mythology, Accepting the Premise... [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , plants, animals, etc. It may be argued that Velikovsky's premise referred to major gods: yet, with the possible exception of Sun and Moon, there were thought to be more important spirits' than the planets (which have not always brought sudden danger, even accepting Velikovskian theories). Drought, lack of soil fertility, earthquake, etc., all presented a much more frequent threat of sudden death and disaster, and all needed regular appeasement. Cosmogonic myths, being some of the most ancient, clearly demonstrate that the oldest gods stood for the big, immediate realities: fire, earth, sky and water, sometimes Sun and Moon. The myth of ...

... deposited during the periods of real stability between the great crises may present a deviation from one site to another. That is, nevertheless, never considerable and hardly ever exceeds fifty years." Even this discrepancy may be due to errors in dating the material uncovered. 4. The perturbations of cultures were caused by natural catastrophes, often giant earthquakes and fires, rather than by the hand of man. Cultural ruptures only rarely were caused by human elites, but "by atmospheric cataclysms or other calamities, such as earthquakes .. . We perceive as yet only imperfectly the initial and actual causes of certain of these great crises. We put ourselves here expressly en garde against a ...
