... sun, surrounded by a band or circle.(20) It is thus obvious that, whatever Ra once signified, it was a celestial body that resided within a circle or band or ring. As we all know, the Sun does not send forth its rays into a circle; it does not reside in a ring. The planet Saturn, however, does.(21) There will now be those who will tell us that, under certain conditions, the Sun IS seen to be surrounded by a ring. They will of course be alluding to that atmospheric refraction which lends a halo to the solar orb. But not only is this too rare an apparition ...
82. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Five [Books]
... of the Wise Woman's vision of the future- the vision of the End of the World- or at least, of this world. An extensive portion of this part of the vision is quoted at the end of this section. Further, there is no evidence, beyond V's intuitive say- so, that the Fenris Wolf represents the planet Mars or that the Midgard Serpent represents the planet Venus. The Midgard Serpent, or World Serpent, was the monstrous offspring of Loki, the Norse god of evil and destruction. It was flung by Odin into the sea that encircled Midgard (ie the Earth), and there it was supposed to lie, its body coiled right ...
83. Pluto's Rank Again - Needs Changing... [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... .Bob Kobres CCNet 1 Feb 2001 Why are we arguing over Pluto's rank again? Star-like-object naming has apparently been subject to change as far back as we can read. This factor was the source of one of Immanual Velikovsky's major errors. He assumed continuity of nouns or more precisely he thought philologists had correctly identified the various ancient names for planets. Where Kugler (whose various works are referenced by Velikovsky) saw a sunlike-meteor in association with Venus, Velikovsky saw "Comet Venus." Both researchers fell victim to what this author calls the "bibbu boo-boo." There is considerable reason to suspect that the majority of our planet's namesakes were comets- probably of the Encke family ...
84. Dance of the Planets [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2000:1 (May 2000) Home | Issue Contents Dance of the Planets www.danceoftheplanets.com Dance of the Planets by Angiras is a new book that reveals the True Message which has lain hidden in the Sacred Myths of all cultures for 6000 Years - relating that Venus and Mars repeatedly came close to the Earth for 3000 years. Volume 1: The Earth (ISBN: 0-7414-0070-7 ©1996): puts forth a new scenario detailing recent planetary chaos in the solar system. The Velikovsky/Angiras (V /A ) scenario postulates a long series of close interactions between Venus, Mars and the Earth, which profoundly affected mankind for ...
85. Extrasolar Planets [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1999:1 (Apr 1999) Home | Issue Contents Extrasolar Planets http://oposite.stsci.edu/pubinfo/pr/1998/19/ May 28, 1998. Hubble Takes First Image of a Possible Planet Around Another Star and Finds a Runaway World. The two members of the protostellar binary, TMR-1A and TMR-1B, indicated by the letters "A " and "B " (" A " being the brighter), the protoplanet, TMR-1C, is labeled "C ." NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has given astronomers their first direct look at what is possibly a planet outside our solar system- one apparently that has ...
86. Planetary Worship [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 6 No 3 (Feb 1986) Home | Issue Contents Planetary Worship Dwardu Cardona That ancient man worshipped the planets as gods is not a new revelation. The study of classical texts, of cuneiform tablets, even the pages of our own Bible, have long illuminated this oft-ignored aspect of ancient religions. It is therefore incredible that, from time to time, people like Chris Boyles find it necessary to question this verity. What is even more surprising is that Boyles can bring himself to state that the astronomical origin of the major gods of antiquity is a premise that has been "pulled out of a hat'.(1 ) Derek Shelley-Pearce criticized ...
87. The Saturn Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2000:1 "Proceedings of the SIS Silver Jubilee Event" Home | Issue Contents The Saturn Theory by Ev Cochrane Ev Cochrane is the author of Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion. Together with Dave Talbott and Dwardu Cardona, Ev Cochrane is one of the primary architects of the Saturn theory. His research interests include ancient mythology, archaeoastronomy, and evolutionary theory. He has an MS from Iowa State University, where he studied genetics and psychology. Summary The paper offers a brief summary of the Saturn theory - specifically, the idea that during the prehistoric period a colossal configuration of planets dominated the celestial landscape ...
... large abundance of carbon dioxide, plus the small quantities of water vapor which have been detected on Venus, are adequate to heat the surface to the observed temperature via the greenhouse effect."1 Therefore, according to Sagan, Venus' heat is derived from the Sun from an atmospheric phenomenon. Velikovsky's thesis is that Venus is a new planet in the early cool down state and that its heat is derived from its hot core which is producing the high surface temperature. A greenhouse requires four elements to produce heat above average from sunlight. One of these elements is a glass-enclosed structure through which light can pass and which will stop the heated air inside from escaping to mix with ...
89. Planets in the Bible: I -- The Cosmology of Job [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol 1 No 4 (Spring 1977) Home | Issue Contents Planets in the Bible: I- The Cosmology of Job Martin Sieff Copyright (c ) M. J. Sieff, 1977 MARTIN SIEFF HAS AN HONOURS DEGREE IN HISTORY FROM OXFORD UNIVERSITY, AND IS CURRENTLY PREPARING A DOCTORATE THESIS. HE IS A FOUNDER OF THE SOCIETY AND ASSOCIATE EDITOR OF THE REVIEW. Opinion is divided as to the dating of the book of Job. Because the earliest known example of Satan as Accuser found elsewhere in Hebrew literature is in the book of Zechariah (3 :1ff), an early post-exilic date is generally assumed. The book of Job was included ...
90. A Proposed Model for the Polar Configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... of the ancients requires that Saturn be the largest visible object in the sky, and hence much closer to the Earth than at present. The thesis also requires that Saturn occupy a fixed position in the northern sky and that it have a lighted face which appears as a crescent that rotates as the Earth rotates about its own axis. The planets Venus and Mars are also envisaged as having occupied a fixed position in a direct line between Earth and Saturn. The planet Jupiter is not visible. The fixed alignment can be shown to be possible if Saturn, Venus, Mars and Earth are satellites of Jupiter and rotate about Jupiter in a line synchronous with Jupiter's orbit around the sun ...
