... not give credence to angelic hypotheses. What kind of hypotheses did he suppose, or propose for shifting Venus inward in one millennium and then for shifting Mars outward in the next. Why did so many catastrophes in that era fall on the vernal equinox, March 20-21, known to the Jews as the "Passover" and feared by the Romans as the "tubilustrium," a day of cosmic trouble? was aware of Talmudic sources citing the Sodom-Gomorrah catastrophe on the vernal equinox.(7 ) Though the flyby planet was not identified by him, the aforementioned Mercury or Saturn were obvious candidates. He also believed that the Exodus Catastrophe, also during the vernal equinox, involved ...
152. The Battle Of Kadesh-carchemish. Ch. 1. (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... Kadesh on the island in the middle of the lake could show that in the Middle Ages the lake had been called Bahr el-Kedes.10 This identification was abandoned, however, as the lake is an artificial one, created by a dam, and did not exist in ancient times. Both Talmuds attribute the dam to Diocletian,11 the Roman emperor (284-305). Then a place only a few miles to the south of the lake, up the Orontes, was found to meet all requirements. It is Tell Nebi-Mend, or Laodicea of Lebanon, an artificial hill thirty meters high and one kilometre long, bounded by the Orontes and by a small confluent stream as by ...
153. The Last Supper [Journals] [Aeon]
... Sammer observed that Jesus and his disciples did not sit at the table the way we moderns do and the way artists have usually portrayed them to have done- see illustration above (after the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci). Instead, according to Sammer, the disciples, including Jesus, reclined on cushions the way the Greeks and Romans did. When Jesus washed his disciples' feet, he was therefore conforming to Greek and Roman custom. ". .. the washing of feet before a formal meal was a regular practice. The reason was a practical one- on formal occasions the Greeks and the Romans did not sit at a table as we do, but ...
154. The Calendar of Coligny [Journals] [Horus]
... existed at Stonehenge was unique, the calendar format it embodied is not. The 19year cycle wherein specific Moon phases are repeated on the same days of the year every 19 years has, at one time or another, formed the basis of calendar systems for numerous civilizations. The Babylonians, the Hindus, the Jews, the Greeks and the Romans each employed the scheme at some point in their history; in fact, several of these are still in use at the present time. Since the 19-year cycle is a universal celestial phenomenon, it is natural that well-defined, fundamental similarities will be found between calendar systems based on it. It is small, arbitrary and relatively inconsequential differences ...
155. "Following The Precedent Of One Galileo". File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... saw the fourth moon of Jupiter. Since these bodies revolved around Jupiter, an illustration of the Copernican concept of the planetary system was discovered; Galileo saw in the motions of the Jovian moons proof of the correctness of the Copernican theory. Astronomers and philosophers declared that these moons were a fraud. Clavius, the celebrated Jesuit mathematician of the Roman College, "laughed at the idea of the four new planets that one probably had to stick in one's telescope to see. May Galileo persist in his opinion and be happy. I persist in my opinion."(1 ) And his opinion was that Galileo arranged these planets in his telescope to cheat the credulous and to earn ...
156. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ,000 years ago. Sunken Cities The Sunday Times magazine 20.8 .00, pp. 16-25 Archaeologists have discovered the underwater remains of the three Nile Delta cities of Canous, Menouthis and Herakleion. Herakleion was the main Egyptian port and a thriving city by 450 BC when visited by Herodotus. The cities survived through the Greek, Roman and Christian eras but disappeared in the 7th century AD after the Muslim conquest. They seem to have sunk beneath the waves rapidly, probably due to violent earthquake activity which caused subsidence and tsunamis. The area has a long history of seismic activity. Volcanic Legacies Scientific American July 00, p. 19 Volcanoes do not simply cause catastrophes ...
157. The Cyclic Nature of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... B.C .7 The Elijah-Mount Carmel cosmic event, circa 864 B.C .8 The Jonah-Joel-Amos cosmic event, circa 756 B.C .9 In addition, two ancient days of remembrance or cosmic fear and dread in early Rome were the tubulustrium, March 21, and the armilustrium, October 25. On these days the Roman clergy approached the temple of Jupiter, located on a grassy plain among Rome's hills- a plain called the Campus Martius. Here they invoked the lapides silece's (thought to be replicas of cosmic lightning), and sacrificed two war-horses (thought to be symbols of Deimos and Phobos- "Fear" and "Panic"- the legendary ...
158. Cosmic Catastrophism [Journals] [Aeon]
... after the events they narrate, the origin and accuracy of the traditions upon which the written versions are based should be discussed. A historian should find out as much as possible about the background and transmission of the sources he uses. Velikovsky generally ignores this fundamental principle of responsible historical scholarship. He often uses details from Jewish writings of the Roman and medieval periods to supplement descriptions found in the Bible written many hundreds of years earlier. (36) Yet he provides no arguments or reasons to persuade the reader that the authors of these relatively late writings had access to accurate historical traditions not included in the earlier biblical accounts. In fact, he also fails to question the accuracy ...
159. Thoth Vol I, No. 9: March 31, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the planet Saturn, ruled the heavens for a period, presiding over the Golden Age, then departed as the heavens fell into confusion. How did it happen that a remote planet, now a bare speck in the sky, found its way into such an improbable, yet deeply-rooted memory? Our own names for the planets came from the Romans who gave the outermost visible planet the name Saturn. Latin poets, philosophers, and historians, including Ovid, Virgil, and Seneca, preserved an archaic legend about Saturn. In unison they insisted that long, long ago the now-distant star had ruled as god-king, founding an ancient kingdom, a paradise on earth. The Chronicler Virgil ...
160. Venus and Mars [Books] [de Grazia books]
... and practices for Velikovsky to surmise that a large heavenly body, apparently Mars, was threatening collision with the Earth at fifteen-year intervals. The Mars encroachments may have been initiated by Venus, which, pursuing an ever-shortening orbit, perhaps encountered and displaced Mars from its earlier orbit between the Earth and the Sun (Rose, 1972). The Romans were Mars-worshippers par excellence, and the legends, rites and early reports that tie Mars to the history of Rome are not to be disregarded; "archaeological and epigraphic discoveries" continue to demonstrate that "the legendary guise of the traditional material actually masks a real foundation of authentic events" (Bloch, 1085). By contest with ...
