... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Pallas Athene In every country of the ancient world we can trace cosmological myths of the birth of the planet Venus. If we look for the god or goddess who represents the planet Venus, we must inquire which among the gods or goddesses did not exist from the beginning, but was born into the family. The mythologies of all peoples concern themselves with the birth only of Venus, not with that of Jupiter, Mars, or Saturn. Jupiter is described as heir to Saturn, but his birth is not a mythological subject. Horus of the Egyptians and Vishnu, born of ...
162. On testing The Polar configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... testing the model against the mythical-symbolic record, with additional examples as to how that record supplies the answers predicted by the model. (1 ) An Ancient Experience Our subject is an extraordinary period in Earth history and the history of man-a prehistoric epoch dominated by profound and at times overwhelming cosmic events. The polar configuration involves a unique congregation of planets moving very close to the Earth some time before the dawn of civilization. In my initial summary I presented a static image of the configuration (Fig. 1), representing a particular phase in the configuration's dynamic history, and a particular moment in a spectacular daily cycle. My contention is that this heaven-filling apparition, stretched across the ...
163. Velikovsky's Legacy [Articles]
... , few can afford to overlook unconscious determinants of behavior; so too, after Velikovsky, one can never again look at myth-nay the entire intellectual heritage bequeathed to us by ancient man in the form of oral traditions, heroic epics, sacred texts, rock art, etc. -without seeing unequivocal evidence of the cataclysmic recent history of this planet. As is the case with Darwin and Freud, Velikovsky was not infallible and not everything he wrote survives analysis. As Nietzsche once quipped, however, the errors of great men often prove more fruitful than the truths of little men, and thus it is that much can be gained from learning how and why Velikovsky went wrong. ...
164. The Origin and Evolution of the Comets and Other Small Bodies in the Solar System [Journals] [Kronos]
... degenerate into asteroids and meteor streams, we have estimated the total number of comets formed during the lifetime of the solar system as 1015 to 1016 (and total mass 1029 to 1031 g). The investigation of comets and other small bodies enables us to evaluate the scale of the processes of cosmic vulcanism and the tremendous internal energy of the planets, that energy being derived from the initial stellar nature of planetary material. INTRODUCTION Most of the modern cosmogonical hypotheses consider the numerous minor bodies of the solar system to be of little importance in shedding light on the history of the system. These minor bodies are generally regarded as relics of the primeval matter from which the Sun and planets ...
165. TOWARDS A SCIENCE OF MYTHOLOGY: VELIKOVSKY'S CONTRIBUTION [Journals] [Aeon]
... Aeon III:1 (Nov 1992) Home | Issue Contents Towards a Science of Mythology: Velikovsky's Contribution Ev Cochrane When all is said and done it may well turn out that Velikovsky's most enduring claim to fame will be his singular contribution to comparative mythology; specifically, the thesis that many ancient myths commemorate spectacular cataclysms associated with the various planets. This is truly an original thesis, with little if any precedent in the writings of previous scholars. (1 ) As is the case with any truly seminal work, Worlds in Collision raises as many questions as it answers. Indeed, questions inspired by Velikovsky's work have since launched hundreds of studies, more than one of which ...
166. Velikovsky's Martian Catastrophes [Journals] [Aeon]
... Prominence Immanuel Velikovsky's reconstruction of the Martian catastrophes has not withstood examination. This can be stated despite the fact that some of the chronicles be cited as evidence do seem to hint at a series of cosmic disturbances during the 8th and 7th centuries B.C . In-depth investigation, however, has not revealed the celestial culprit as having been the planet Mars. As Velikovsky himself admitted: [This] was the time of the Hebrew prophets whose books are preserved in writing, of Assyrian kings whose annals are excavated and deciphered, and of Egyptian pharaohs of the Libyan and Ethiopian dynasties; in short, the catastrophes .. . did not take place in a mist-shrouded past: the ...
... Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 1 Basic Principles of Hoerbiger's Cosmological Theory Hoerbiger considers the Moon to be a metallo-mineral body covered with a sphere of ice. He also contends that our satellite was captured out of transterrestrial space where, probably not so very long ago, it existed as an independent planet. As these views are so utterly opposed to the current views of selenology, according to which the Moon is a child of the Earth and a grandchild of the Sun, while its surface consists of vitreous materials, we must give a short review of the teachings of Hoerbiger's Cosmological Theory. Its leading ideas are: The cosmic building ...
168. The Polar Sun [Books]
... great Light who shinest in the heavens .. . Thou art glorious by reason of thy splendours .. ." (3 ) Such imagery would seem to leave no question as to the god's solar character. Yet if the preceding analysis of the great father is correct, Re (or Atum) is not the solar orb but the planet Saturn. The Golden Age of Re was the age of An, Yama, or Kronos. One thus finds of interest an Egyptian ostrakon (first century B.C .) cited by Franz Boll: the ostrakon identifies the planet Saturn as the great god Re. (4 ) Taken alone, this identification could only appear as ...
169. Velikovsky like theory of gravity and magnetism [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... University of Illinois. More details are available in a book (same title as post, from ICP Box 492 NY, NY 10185) where these ideas appear to diverge from accepted theory an attempt is made to rigorously reconcile these apparent divergent claims with accepted theory and experiments. 1) Blackett has shown that the magnetic moment P of a planet or a star is proportional to its angular momentum L=(2 /5 )( M )( omega)R2; specifically P=(b ) (sqrt(G )) (L )/ 2c where G is the gravitational constant and c is the speed of light and for the earth approximately b=.3 ...
170. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... inversion of Earth we are talking about agents of substance whose actions would not be proceeded on "little cat feet," such as Earl Milton's fantasized "powerful forces of somewhat more benign nature"(CSIS Newsletter III:2 [1985], p. 3.). And keep in mind that the eccentricities and inclinations of the planets "indicate that no star with a mass greater than 0.1 solar masses has passed through the Solar System during the system's lifetime and no object with a mass more than three times that of Jupiter has passed within the orbit of Earth" (Nature 337, 12 January 1989, p.113; also Sky & Telescope, ...
