... , and in "The Battle of the Gods," in the Iliad, she goes to his aid in battle and is roundly smacked by the Goddess Athena. If we look into Homer for the precise astronomical referents of Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus and Athena, we are disappointed. Homer does not say that the three sky bodies - planet mars, Moon, and planet Venus are represented by them, not in the Iliad, nor the Odyssey, nor in the Love Affair. How then are we to assure ourselves that we are on the right track when we allocate among them several celestial bodies? We cannot be certain - not now, nor in ancient times, ...
42. The Great Comet Venus [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon III:5 (May 1994) Home | Issue Contents The Great Comet Venus David Talbott Venus in myth and science The planet Venus is Earth's closest planetary neighbor, moving on an orbit 108 million kilometers (67 million miles) from the Sun. Modern astronomers have always believed that Venus, evolving within its own enclave in the solar system, has followed its present path for countless millions of years. Working under this assumption most planetary scientists believed- until the 1960's- that Venus might be very much like the Earth, and many scientists speculated freely on the possibilities of life on Venus. (1 ) But the space age brought more than a few ...
43. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Two [Books]
... angel (p .41- 2) thus: "Apparently the atmosphere of the celestial body that appeared in the darkness was illuminated, and took on the elongated form of a mouse. This explains why the blast that destroyed the army of Sennacherib was commemorated by the emblem of a mouse." Was Herodotus describing a destruction by a planet whose atmosphere looked like a mouse ? I doubt it. Here is Godley's translation of ii.141 : "The next king was the priest of Hephaestus, whose name was Sethos. He despised and took no account of the warrior Egyptians, thinking he would never need them; besides otherwise dishonouring them. He took away the chosen ...
44. Morning Star* [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon IV:1 (Apr 1995) Home | Issue Contents Morning Star*Dwardu Cardona *See note * below It seems that the belief that "the planets had always been deities," a belief that, according to one critic, was "asserted by Velikovsky and pressed more recently by Cardona," (1 ) is still being challenged. This belief has been called a "big lie that drastically oversimplifies ancient religion." "According to A. B. Cook," this critic continues, "Zeus and Kronos were originally general sky gods whose nature underwent a long evolution with their names becoming associated with planets at a late date." ...
45. Henry H. Bauer and Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... the book is "Fair-minded and lucid, Bauer's study is a model of how such public disputes about science or technical issues can be understood and even resolved." (1 ) Ellenberger further claims that, unlike Bauer's analysis, "Many scientists derisively attacked Velikovsky's theories about terrestrial catastrophes, biblical chronologies, and Earth's close encounters' with other planets. But they seriously undercut their case by resorting to innuendo, ridicule, misrepresentation [and] ad hominem arguments . . . ." (2 ) Therefore, one would expect Bauer's analysis to be "fair-minded" and not to employ "innuendo, ridicule, misrepresentation [and] ad hominem arguments." Indeed, I have ...
46. The Youthful Planet Venus [Articles]
... The Youthful Planet Venus Charles Ginenthal Good afternoon. It's a great pleasure to be here and I'm not so much only going to speak about Venus. I also want to speak about science and scientists and how they deal with evidence that does not fit their theories. I appreciate Tom Van Flandern's remark about whether or not we're fooling ourselves and really practicing science. I have a good deal of admiration for Dr. Van Flandern because he has had the courage to follow the evidence related to recent solar system catastrophism, and for this he's paid a price as has Victor Clube, and others for going outside mainstream astronomical theory. He told me an interesting story about his having ...
47. The Organization of the Solar System [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Patten and Samuel B. Windsor Part I: The Sun The general subject of the organization of the solar system falls into a natural division of two parts. One part concerns the Sun, including the origin of its magnetic storms (sunspot cycles) and its rotation (spin). The second part concerns the organization of the nine planets: to these nine planets one might realistically add one relatively tiny planet like Pluto in size, which apparently fragmented, producing asteroids among other things. Thus we find one radiant star and approximately ten planets under discussion. This two-part essay will not be concerned with the origin of the mass of the Sun, although it will consider the ...
48. Mars Gods of the New World [Journals] [Aeon]
... : Aeon IV:1 (Apr 1995) Home | Issue Contents Mars Gods of the New World Ev Cochrane In previous articles in this series, we have investigated various gods of the Old World, including Heracles, Gilgamesh, Indra, Horus, Cuchulainn, Apollo and others, discovering compelling evidence that each of these figures originally personified the planet Mars, their cults reflecting ancient conceptions associated with the red planet. Throughout each step of the investigation, the cult of Nergal has loomed large, not only because of its antiquity but because it offers a solid link with the earliest astronomical traditions of Babylon. Nergal's well-attested identification with the planet Mars thus serves as a common denominator behind ...
49. Exploding Planets and Non-exploding Universesed [Articles]
... Exploding Planets and Non-exploding Universes Tom Van Flandern I'm hoping that we can add a few elements of multimedia to this presentation, but my electronic equipment is in competition with the cameras, taping, and the regular equipment that is in this room. Sometimes in the setup we were winning the battle, and sometimes losing. Please bear with me if we have some technical problems during the presentation. Just by way of remarks on my background and how I came to be invited here, I spent half of my career as a mainstream astronomer doing mainstream things and publishing in the regular technical journals. Then one day I read about the work of Canadian dynamical astronomer, Michael Ovenden ...
50. The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... to show the general associations of the swastika with the triskelion and whorl, or the mutual associations of these symbols with the long-flowing, disheveled hair of the angry goddess, the goddess who rages in the sky in the form of a serpent or dragon at the time of a world-ending disaster- the angry goddess who just happens to be the planet Venus? AEON: For the benefit of our new readers, let's go back to the beginning for a moment. In the age of science and reason, why should anyone care about myth? Talbott: Because the myths can tell us about events we've forgotten- extraordinary events, awe-inspiring, terrifying events. We've always assumed that the ...
