... Greek sites and had been struck by the fact that most of them owed their prominence to the cults of Athena and Apollo. He wrote: "Athena's role can be readily seen in the light of Velikovsky, but Apollo remains an enigma. Accepting the premise that the major gods have an astronomical origin, Apollo's usual explanation of being a sun god does not readily fit into Velikovskian concepts. Perhaps one of your members has some ideas and can place Apollo in his rightful place?" A number of SIS members have voiced their opinions and we have compiled from them the following response. The conventional identification for Apollo is that of a sun god. Robert Graves, a notable ...
112. The Quarters of the World Displaced, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Quarters of the World Displaced The traditions gathered in the section before last refer to various epochs; actually, Herodotus and Mela say that according to Egyptian annals, the reversal of the west and east recurred: the sun rose in the west, then in the east, once more in the west, and again in the east. Was the cosmic catastrophe that terminated a world age in the days of the fall of the Middle Kingdom and of the Exodus one of these occasions, and did the earth change the direction of its rotation at that time? If we cannot assert ...
113. Electric Discharge as the Source of Solar Radiant Energy (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... electrical discharge are exceedingly important, and when they are better understood they will probably throw great light on the nature of electricity as well as on the nature of gases and of the medium pervading space." - James Clerk Maxwell(1 ) Compiler's Comment (ERM): In August 1972 Ralph Juergens introduced the concept of the electrically powered Sun.(1a) He was inspired by Immanuel Velikovsky's contention that electromagnetic forces played a crucial role in sculpting the surfaces and shaping the orbits of the bodies of the solar system; (1b) by Melvin Cook's attempts to unify the electromagnetic and gravitational fields; (1c) and by the voluminous literature of Charles Bruce intimating that the ...
114. Chapter XII. The Stars -- their Risings and Settings [Books]
... Chapter XII The Stars- their Risings and Settings FROM what has been stated it is not too much to assume that the Egyptians observed, and taught people to observe, the sun on the horizon. This being so, the chances are that at first they would observe the stars on the horizon too, both stars rising and stars setting; this indeed is rendered more probable by the very careful way in which early astronomers defined the various conditions under which a star can rise or set, always, be it well remembered, in relation to the sun. It must not be forgotten that the ancients had no telescopes, and had to use their horizon as the only ...
115. Galactic Space Charge and Stellar Energy [Journals] [SIS Review]
... have members' thoughts on the paper: these will be included in the next issue, with comments by the Editors. Galactic Space Charge and Stellar Energy Ralph E. Juergens MR JUERGENS IS A CIVIL ENGINEER WORKING IN FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA, AND HAS CONTRIBUTED TO BOTH "PENSÉE" AND "KRONOS" I In investigating the possibility that the Sun and the other stars of the universe may actually derive their energy electrically from the outside, as the complex structure and thermal properties of the solar atmosphere suggest, it occurred to me that a non-uniform distribution of space charge in the galaxy at large could provide the driving potential for stellar electrical discharges. As detailed in this paper, a ...
116. The Ramesside Star Tables [Journals] [SIS Review]
... compiled. The only independent timing device which we know of as being available to the ancient Egyptians is the water clock, and we must therefore suppose that the time of transit of these stars was recorded with the help of such a clock. No doubt the water clock was itself originally calibrated by observations of intervals between stars (probably the sun, moon and planets as well); what the present tables principally show, therefore, is that the calibration was no longer working as it once did. It was evidently still working during much of the first two to three months of the year, however (assuming that the minor aberrations of stars Jj/Jk in Tables 1-5 ...
117. Morning Star* [Journals] [Aeon]
... next to Moe Mandelkehr's recent assertion that the Morning Star mentioned in the earliest mytho-historical records was not originally the planet Venus. (10) One thing that can be stated for certain is that not all morning stars are to be identified as Venus- which is not at all what Mandelkehr had in mind. Being the closest planet to the Sun, Mercury not only revolves within the Earth's orbit but within that of the planet Venus itself. Mercury thus exhibits some of the aspects presented by Venus. Although less bright than Venus, it, too, appears as an evening and morning star, a fact that was well known and recorded by the ancients. So, for instance ...
118. The Sun's Galactic Journey and Absolute Time [Books] [de Grazia books]
... possible - but also essential. Furthermore an understanding of electricity's role provides a powerful new and unified explanation of most observable phenomena. If the evidence cited in Chapter One has permitted us to proceed, viewing the developing Solar System as Solaria Binaria, and similarly, if in Chapter Two we end up viewing stars, and in particular, the Sun as an electric phenomenon, then we can hope to inquire about the time scale over which the Solar Binary developed. To be more specific, may we have a stellar binary which develops over a short interval through some of the most significant phases of the history of the Solar System ? To tackle the problem of chronology we shall, ...
119. Teotihuacan -- the City of the Gods [Journals] [Pensee]
... in the remote past .. . a people who evolved a culture and in the monuments of Teotihuacan left us a legacy of a permanent lesson on the miracles which faith in destiny can bring about, when men gather, live together and share the bounties of nature .. . when they venerate the life giving elements of the earth- the sun, the water, the common patrimony of humanity, and from them create prosperity and beauty. The governments originating from the Revolution have recognized the fact that the Indian population of Mexico incarnates the most authentic material and spiritual treasures of the nation." Owing to the interest it holds for those who have studied Velikovsky's work, we present ...
120. Proposed Variations on the Saturnian Configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... Saturnian Configuration Tonny van Rhee, from Tessenderlo, Belgium, writes: The Configuration: The polar configuration theory proposed by David Talbott and Dwardu Cardona assumes that the planets Saturn, Venus, Mars, and Earth shared a common spin axis and that Earth's north pole was always pointing toward Saturn. The whole system moved in an orbit around the Sun, while the planets moved in an orbit around Saturn. The plane of this orbit is presumed to have formed an angle with the plane of Saturn's orbit around the Sun (probably because the Sun is needed to produce a crescent on the surface of Saturn). Various objections can be raised against this formation. Lynn Rose, for ...
