... the present consider this as the start-point for the long series of remains of various orders to which reference has been made, and from which alone information can be obtained. We come now to deal with the ideas of the early inhabitants of the Nile valley. We find that in Egypt we are in presence absolutely of the worship of the Sun and of the accompanying Dawn. Whatever be the date of the Indian ideas to which we have referred, we find them in Egypt in the earliest times. The ancient Egyptians, whether they were separate from, or more or less allied in their origin to, the early inhabitants of India, had exactly the same view of Nature-worship ...
122. Cosmic Catastrophes and the Ballgame of the Sky Gods in Mesoamerican Mythology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Ballgame of the Sky Gods in Mesoamerican Mythology Benny Josef Peiser The ballgame is directly related to the continuous cycle and conflict between Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca, [. .. ] and worldly creation and destruction. ' [1 ] The ritual ballgame was itself a reenactment of the celestial ball-game, played at a time of world-destruction, in which the sun and moon defeated the lords of hell. ' [2 ] Introduction Ever since the Berlin School of Anthropology (Konrad Theodor Preuss, Eduard Seler and Walter Krickeberg) tried to decipher the cosmic symbolism of the Mesoamerican ballgame, historians have been aware of the close relationship between heavenly bodies, the ritual function of the ballgame and the personification ...

124. Indra's Theft of the Sun-God's Wheel [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon III:3 (Oct 1993) Home | Issue Contents Indra's Theft of the Sun-God's Wheel Ev Cochrane ountless hymns in the Rig Veda allude to Indra's intimate relations with Surya, the ancient sun-god. Among the Vedic war-god's most celebrated feats are his role in conquering the Sun; delivering it from a prison-like darkness; preparing a space within which it could rise; propping it up with a pillar; etc. The following hymn may be taken as typical: "Ye found the Sun, ye found the light of heaven;...Ye stayed the heaven with a supporting pillar." (79) It was on account of such traditions, no ...
125. On the Circularization of the Orbit of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VII No. 2 (Winter 1982) Home | Issue Contents On the Circularization of the Orbit of Venus Ragnar Forshufvud ABSTRACT After the Saturn nova outburst that caused the Deluge, a flat cloud of hydrogen gas would have been rotating around the Sun. The aerodynamic drag caused by the hydrogen gas may have changed the orbit of Venus substantially in a period of a few hundred years. This is demonstrated by numerical calculations, using a theoretical model for the gas cloud. The effects of the gas on electric and magnetic fields in space are also discussed. Velikovsky's reconstruction of ancient astronomical events requires that the orbit of Venus, originally elliptic like that of ...
126. The Nature and Origin of Comets and the Evolution of Celestial Bodies (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... It demonstrates that tail matter is attracted towards an asteroidal comet nucleus by strong electrical forces. Additionally, two charging mechanisms are identified, both of which produce a net negative charge on the comet nucleus. This is supported by data from recent space probes. Comet wandering, sunward spikes, a shrinkage of the coma as the comet approaches the Sun, curved tails, the gathering and maintenance of meteoroid streams, spiralling of tail material, and the rapid orbital circularization of large newly captured comets are also discussed. Earlier papers(1 , 2, 3) used similar concepts to predict the existence of strong electrical fields in the vicinity of Saturn, showing Saturn and its ring system ...
127. The Gravitational-Electromagnetic Effects of Ultramassive Objects on the Solar System (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... volume). If the approach velocity of the massive object is much less than the speed of light (" c " equal to 300,000 kilometers per second), the tidal effect of such a passage on the planets would most likely be minimal. For example, if the object is the same distance from the Earth as the Sun, and has solar mass, then its tidal pull would be approximately equal to that of the Sun. This particular tidal effect is only about one-half of the tidal pull exerted by the Moon upon the Earth, and therefore not very significant. However, if the object were travelling at a velocity near that of light, its mass ...
128. The Sun's Magnetic Field [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. II No. 3 (Feb 1977) Home | Issue Contents For the Record . . . The Sun's Magnetic Field In "Cosmos Without Gravitation" (Scripta Academica Hierosolymitana, N.Y ., 1946), Velikovsky claimed that the Sun, planets, satellites, and comets are interdependent charged bodies. He also stated: "The solar surface is charged negatively in relation to the charge of the earth, as the spectral lines (with the dominant red line in the spectrum of hydrogen) reveal. The sun carries a charge and rotates: it is an electromagnet" (p . 17, emphasis added). Velikovsky then cited the ...
129. The Sac and its Plenum [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Solaria Binaria, by Alfred De Grazia and Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER FIVE The Sac and its Plenum The original Super Sun, prior to its nova, was accumulating electrons from the Galaxy consistent with the demands of the environment through which it was passing. As we have explained earlier, the Super Sun became too electro-negative and expelled material violently into its surrounding space. This material could not escape; its expulsion was opposed both by the post-nova Sun and by the Galaxy. It thus formed and filled a sac surrounding the newly created Solaria Binaria. In the sac was the whole system of Solaria Binaria; the Sun, Super Uranus, the ...
