... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1998:2 (Mar 1998) Home | Issue Contents REVIEWS Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane Aeon Press 1997, $20 plus p&p from Aeon Press, 601 Hayward Ave, Ames, Iowa 50014, USA When Velikovsky published Worlds in Collision nearly 50 years ago, he started a ball rolling which has been gathering momentum ever since. His exciting method of interpreting ancient myths to give a new view of mankind's earliest history as beset by catastrophes of cosmic origin paved the way for a new breed of researcher. Although his first book presented a fascinating case for planetary catastrophism in general ...

103. Scientists support Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the solar system. (1 ) Articles in the scientific literature indicate that major changes could have occurred in the order and composition of the original solar system. Collisions have played an important role in some of these changes. In 1950, McCrea (2 ), who was then president of the Royal Astronomical Society, proposed that no planets were originally formed inside the orbit of Jupiter. This conclusion was a result of his quantitative analysis of the nebular model. Later Alfven (3 ) investigated the mass distribution within a group of secondary bodies formed around a central rotating body. He demonstrated the possibility that the terrestrial planets were formed after the giant planets. (However, ...
... Notes The Age of Velikovsky Chapter IV: The Common Questions The preceding chapters have provided a basic review of Velikovsky's suggested reconstruction of the recent history of the solar system. Now we will look at questions that have been raised about this model. One of the first and most frequently asked questions concerns the association of the word comet with the planet Venus. COMETS AND EFFECTS In Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky repeatedly refers to the "Comet Venus". The question is often asked: Why did Velikovsky call Venus a comet when it could not, by definition, be a comet. There are really two answers to this the short form and the long form. The long form ...
105. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... Spurious Identifications In Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky limited the Martian catastrophes to the 8th and 7th centuries B.C . As stated in the preceding section, Patten and his collaborators have gone a few steps further. As far as they are concerned, all of the catastrophes narrated in the Old Testament were caused by the close fly-bys of the planet Mars. In chronological order, these catastrophes, as per Patten, et al., were originally presented as having been the following: the Noachian deluge (circa 2500 B.C .) ; the Tower of Babel catastrophe (1930 B.C .) ; the Sodom and Gomorrah catastrophe (1877 B.C .) ...
106. The Saturn Thesis (Part 3) [Journals] [Aeon]
... gods and heroes, and the farther back you go- the closer you get to the original experience- the more impressive is the accord. In contrast, not one of the commonly-stated attributes of gods and heroes, when explored in its explicit and most ancient contexts, answers to natural phenomena occurring today. In the ancient system, the planets interacted at extremely close range, and during the stable or quasi-stable phases of the configuration, the participants moved in a collinear symmetry: they stood in line. Ancient cultures celebrated this as the Great Conjunction of the Golden Age. But numerous other motifs imply the same thing. The short list would include Venus as eye, heart and ...
107. Zeus And Athene, Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Zeus And Athene If there was a problem in this research which caused prolonged deliberation on the part of the author, it was the question: Was it the planet Jupiter or Venus that caused the catastrophe of the time of Exodus? Some ancient mythological sources point to Venus, other sources point to Jupiter. In one group of legends Jupiter (Zeus) is the protagonist of the drama: he leaves his place in the sky, rushes to battle Typhon, and strikes him with thunderbolts. But other legends and historical sources, too, which I have quoted on previous pages, ...
108. The Four-planet System, Part 1 Venus Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Four-planet System By asserting that the planet Venus was born in the first half of the second millennium, I assume also that in the third millennium only four planets could have been seen, and that in astronomical charts of this early period the planet Venus cannot be found. In an ancient Hindu table of planets, attributed to the year -3102, Venus alone among the visible planets is absent.(36) The Brahmans of the early period did not know the five-planet system,(37) and only in a later (" middle") period did the Brahmans speak of ...
109. The Planet Mars, Part 2 Mars Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Planet Mars The planet Mars, at the present time, completes one revolution around the sun in 687 terrestrial days. Its orbit is entirely outside the earth's orbit, and is an ellipse, like that of the earth, but more stretched out, so that the planet's distance from the sun varies considerably during a revolution. When Mars and the earth are on different sides of the sun, the distance between them rises to over 200,000,000 miles and may reach 248,600,000 miles. From this moment on, as the distance between the two planets ...
110. The Spring Of Ares [Journals] [Kronos]
... originally a Theban god analogous to Dionysus, who was also associated with Ares, the added association of Kadmos with the same Ares raises fundamental questions concerning the origins of Greek religion and myth.(9 ) That Ares was originally a celestial body is suggested by a Homeric hymn in which the god is described as a fiery sphere among the planets.(3 ) This fiery nature links Ares to Mars, described as the fiery planet par excellence in both Babylonian and Greek astronomy. And, in fact, this identification was made by the Greeks themselves as early as the fifth century B.C .( 4 ) Having already identified Kadmos with Saturn,(41) we ...
