... view towards reconstructing the original significance of certain traditions associated with the Latin goddess Venus. As such, this study should be seen as forming a supplement to the researches of David Talbott and myself on the mythology surrounding Venus, where it was argued that the cult of the celebrated Mother Goddess can hardly be separated from the recent history of the planet Venus. It is a curious fact, one little noticed by the scholarly community as a whole, that the vast majority of the world's great goddesses were identified with the planet Venus. This is the case with the Sumerian Inanna, Babylonian Ishtar, Canaanite Astarte, Egyptian Isis, and Greek Aphrodite, for example. (1 ) ...
182. Worship Of The Morning Star, Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... 35) With this should be connected a statement of Isaiah: "The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, the light of Noga was upon them."(36) Noga is Venus; it is, in fact, the usual name of this planet in Hebrew,(37) and it is therefore an omission not to translate it so. Amos says that during the forty years in the wilderness the Israelites did not sacrifice to the Lord, but carried "the star of your god, which you made to yourselves."(38) St. Jerome interprets this "star ...
183. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the arguments of William Gilbert (1544-1603) and Johann Kepler (1571-1630)[1 ]. The newness of the revolution is evinced by the Einstein-Velikovsky correspondence wherein the former soon accepted as tenable the hypothesis of global catastrophes and, though originally quite opposed, at last became sympathetic even to the hypothesis of a recent origin of Venus as a planet. However, he persistently rebutted to the end of his life all argument that electricity and magnetism affect the motions of heavenly bodies. Whereas astronomers are perplexed at the implication of the new picture of the universe as derived from the space probes, Velikovsky has been clear from the very beginning. In one of the first conversations I had ...
184. Samples From The Planets, Part 2 Mars Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Samples From The Planets In the Vedic hymns the Maruts are implored 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 ...
185. The Olympian Rulers [Books] [de Grazia books]
... judgement of Earth and Heaven went out of joint.... The gods, which trembled, the stars of heaven-their position changed, and I did not bring them back."[2 ] The Age of Saturnia ended in the Biblical Deluge. The Age of Jovea (5700 to 4400 B.P .) began. The planets Saturn, Neptune [3 ], Uranus [4 ], and perhaps a "Planet X' " (suspected to exist but not yet discovered) [5 ] had receded. They were retired gods; mythologists have applied this concept of deus otiosus to Saturn and Uranus. Mankind might have seen all of them recede into the ...
186. Venus's Internal Heat [Journals] [Kronos]
... C. Leroy Ellenberger One of the most important advance claims made by Velikovsky dealt with the heat of Venus. In Worlds in Collision [" The Thermal Balance of Venus"], he wrote: "Radiometric observations . . . have shown that a considerable amount of heat' is emitted by the dark part of the disc of the planet Venus . . . and it was found that there is a nearly uniform temperature over the planet's surface both on the illuminated and dark hemispheres'.... "What explanation can be given for the phenomenon of the nearly uniform temperature of the day and night hemispheres of Venus? . . . The night side of Venus radiates ...
187. Letters To The Edttor [Journals] [Aeon]
... To The Edttor To the Editor:For several weeks this Spring I monitored, and briefly participated in, a discussion being conducted on an internet news group. The discussion derived from David Talbott's hypothesis that there existed a polar apparition during a Saturnian Golden Age, and his subsequent deduction that the apparition was caused by a specific arrangement of the planets. Because Robert Grubaugh has presented his model of synchronous orbits to explain how the apparition may have been constructed, his model and calculations have been brought into the discussion. It is my understanding that discussion was initiated in the hope that knowledgeable people who use the internet would provide intelligent analyses of the problem. Quite the opposite happened. ...
188. Cosmic Catastrophism [Journals] [Aeon]
... racked by cataclysms: Volcanoes erupt simultaneously; earthquakes shatter what was once firm land; mountain-high tidal waves destroy continents and change the earth's topography. A science fiction plot? Not according to many authors who have presented a similar scenario as historical fact over the years. A supposed collision or near-collision between earth and an asteroid, comet, or planet in ancient times has been used variously as the explanation for the destruction of Atlantis (2 ) , the Deluge recorded in Genesis (3 ) , or the miraculous events connected with the Israelite Exodus from Egypt. (4 ) Immanuel Velikovsky has provided the most detailed arguments for such cosmic catastrophism, and his theories have a large and ...
189. Aphrodite The Moon or Venus? (Continued) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... "The Disastrous Love Affair of Mars and Moon", Professor ALFRED DE GRAZIA argues against this. Aphrodite The Moon or Venus? (Continued)Alfred De Grazia DR ALFRED DE GRAZIA is Professor of Social Theory at New York University, and heads the research project into Revolutionary Primevalogy. If Peter James is correct in identifying Aphrodite with the planet Venus, eschewing her identification with the Moon, orthodox classicists will be pleased, and, as he says, Immanuel Velikovsky will be wrong, and Ralph Juergens will be wrong. Furthermore, I shall be wronger than anybody, for I have circulated a book in fugitive form now for three years that is based upon the thesis that ...
190. Discussion Questions From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... strata are claimed by the later civilisations, the earlier civilisations simply disappear. The question may thus be formulated: What hard evidence forces us to duplicate the previously recognised four empires in control of the land of Israel to the eight empires now recorded in all modern textbooks? SOLAR SYSTEM MAGNETIC FIELDS SPEAKER: Samuel Windsor- Charles Ginenthal's theory relating planet spin rate and orbit to magnetic field strength is on the same track as Donald Patten's theory relating magnetic field strength to planet mass, spin rate, orbit and the mass and orbit of planet satellites. Mr. Ginenthal's theory would be more persuasive were these discrepancies in logic not present: a) If planet spin rate and orbit relative ...
