... for ancient history and what record these have of upheavals and catastrophes affecting the Earth. He dates the arrival of the Gaels from Spain to about 750 BC, when they invaded Ireland and subjugated its previous inhabitants, the Tuatha De Danann. He notes that the legends of the time contain clear references to upheavals of the Earth, with apparent earthquakes and widespread flooding of the land by the sea, as do Breton legends. (It is interesting to note that visitors to the south coast of Brittany can see a clearly flooded landscape, most notably the Gulf of Morbiham, where one small island has on it a circle of standing stones which now stands below the high tide mark ...
382. Master Of Fieldwork: Come See For Yourself. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... feet thick; no burning city could by itself leave such a deposit of ashes. Troy II was destroyed at the very time when the Old Kingdom of Egypt went down under the blows of nature. In this catastrophe cities were ruined one and all, empires ceased to exist, trade stopped entirely, civilizations were entombed, populations decimated- by earthquakes, ubiquitous fire, and epidemics- and the climate suddenly changed. Schaeffer found that there were six or seven crises during the history of the ancient East caused by catastrophes in nature; the cause of these great convulsions of nature remained unknown to Schaeffer. He realized that the area of destruction must have been much larger than the Middle East ...
383. The Most Incredible Story, Part 1 Venus Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Thou didst pursue them in Thy storm, Thou didst consume them in the whirlwind. . . . Their carcasses were like rubbish.(7 ) The wide radius over which the heavenly wrath swept is emphasized in the prayer: "All the kingdoms tottered. . . ." A torrent of large stones coming from the sky, an earthquake, a whirlwind, a disturbance in the movement of the earththese four phenomena belong together. It appears that a large comet must have passed very near to our planet and disrupted its movement; a part of the stones dispersed in the neck and tail of the comet smote the surface of our earth a shattering blow. Are we entitled ...

... which never sets. Jones suggests that astronomers should look back beyond the Exodus to discover why symbolism relating to Venus is so woven into religion. We may add that the description of the Morning Star as never setting could relate to a very early cosmic order called the Morning Star with which Venus was associated but not the major part. The earthquake bull Traveller, summer 1993, p. 36 The Kalash people of Pakistan say that earthquakes are caused when flies tickle the back of a sacred bull whose horns hold up the world. Thanks are due to Archimedes A. Concon, John Eaden, Hugh Eggleton, Birgit Liesching, Mike Rowland, Harold Tresman and David Wilson who sent ...
385. The Tide, Part 1 Venus Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the fair earth, home of mankind. No more Beijke shone in heaven. According to the Lapland epic, the world was overwhelmed by the hurricane and the sea, and almost all human beings perished. After the sea-wall fell on the continent, gigantic waves continued to roll and dead bodies were dashed about in dark waters. The great earthquake and the chasms that opened in the ground, the appearance of a celestial body with serpentlike flashes, rivers flowing upward, a sea-wall that crushed everything, mountains that became levelled or covered with water, the world that was turned over and then righted, the sun that no more shone in the sky-all these are motifs which we found ...
386. Emperor Yahou, Part 1 Venus Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... .(7 ) Was not the catastrophe of the time of Yahou one of the major inundations of rivers, as modern scholars suppose it to have been? But the fact that this catastrophe has been vivid in traditions for thousands of years, while neither the overflow of the Yellow River, when a million people perished, nor the great earthquakes, play a conspicuous part in the recollections of the nation, is an argument against the established interpretation. Rivers do not overflow in the form of a sky-high wave. The overflowing rivers of China subside in a few weeks, and the water does not remain in the plains until the following spring, but flows away, and the ...
387. The Celestial Tower [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... and blood sacrifice. [4 ] These elements are of course also (and even more completely) found in the Celtic versions of the myth, whether it be told as the story of Lugos or Merlin. The latter character, the child prodigy, is destined for sacrifice by the tyrant Vortigern, whose tower is continually being destroyed by earthquakes. Merlin of course evades the sacrifice, but it is evident that the myth relates very clearly to the origins of the blood sacrifice ritual, and therefore to the origins of civilisation. In his guise of Lugos (Irish Lugh), the Celtic Hermes is equally linked to the tower. In the Irish account, Lugh's mother Ethne ...
388. The Quarters of the World Displaced, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... collided again, was, according to numerous rabbinical sources, a day of unusual length: the motion of the sun was disturbed.(5 ) On this occasion, and generally in the days and months following the Passage, the gloom, the heavy and charged clouds, the lightning, and the hurricanes, aside from the devastation by earthquake and flood, made observation very difficult, if not impossible. "They walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course" (Psalms 82:5 ) is a metaphor used by the Psalmist. The Papyrus Ipuwer, which says that "the earth turned over like a potter's wheel" and " ...

... Times 5.11.02. and Connecticut Post 29.8 .02.) Evidence is coming in that it wasn't just the Mexican impact which saw off the dinosaurs, but it could have been the result of multiple impacts. The Mexican impact itself was probably implicated not only with causing fires over America, but also triggering massive earthquakes and landslides more than 1,000 miles from the impact site. CATASTROPHIC HUMAN EVOLUTION (Scientific American, July 2002, p. 74) It now appears to be perfectly respectable to believe that the evolution of large brains and complex social behaviour in humans is a result of abrupt, even catastrophic' change. The forcing condition is ...
390. Again Isaiah, Part 2 Mars Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... In that valley the host of Joshua witnessed a rain of bolides and saw the sun and the moon disturbed in their movement across the firmament. "At an instant suddenly" the land will be invaded with "small dust" and with "the multitude of terrible ones," and it will be visited "with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire" (29:5-6). "A devouring fire" and "an overflowing stream" shall "sift the nations" with "tempest and hailstones" (30:27-30). The prophet, reading the signs of the sky, took ...
