... From: SIS Internet Digest 2002:1 (Sep 2002) Home | Issue Contents Saturn before the Sun Dwardu Cardona Editor of journal Aeon Vancouver In which it shall be shown that the characteristics and motions of the so-called "suns" and sun-god of ancient man do not correspond to the motions and characteristics of the Sun. It shall also be shown that, in more than one case, the ancients themselves identified these so-called "suns" and sun gods as the planet Saturn and its divine personifications. It was only later that some of these Saturnian names were transferred to the Sun - and thus the title of my paper. In view of this, it becomes manifest ...
132. The Lesser Light [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the night. -Genesis 1:16 "Regardless of their preferred classification of [the First Chapter of] Genesis, whether it be history or poetry, believers and skeptics alike have always been in accord in their interpretation of the terms in the above passage of Scripture. What could be more obvious than the greater light' of the sun to rule the day' and the lesser light' of the moon to rule the night' even though the sun and the moon are not explicitly mentioned. Within our experience, this seems to be the only possible interpretation. [However] a completely literal interpretation of this verse night indicate a genuine source of light, rather than ...
133. The Saturn Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... evidence pointing to the Polar Configuration would require several volumes to make a compelling case. This brief overview offers only a small sampling of this evidence. Figure 1 Saturn, Venus and Mars If the truth be told, the Saturn theory suffers from an embarrassment of riches in respect of evidence which supports its central tenets. Early descriptions of the sun' and various planets from Mesopotamia and elsewhere describe them as occupying impossible' positions and moving in a manner which defies astronomical reality (as currently understood). The ancient sun god, for example, is said to rise' and set' upon the same sacred mountain [2 ]. The planet Venus is described as standing at ...
134. 10 Bright Sons of the East and the Sun [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1996:1 Home | Issue Contents Newsgroups: alt.mythology 10 Bright Sons of the East and the Sun From: Edward Hopkins, hopkins@hopkins.rtp.dg.com Date: Thu, 7 Sep 95 22:26:05 GMT I saw a newspaper story that was part of the "Tell Me A Story" series syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate. The by-line says it was "a Chinese tale adapted by Amy Friedman". In the story, Dijun, god of the east, and Shijo, goddess of the sun, have "10 bright suns". Dijun warns his suns against dancing in the sky all ...
135. Wild Motions, Angular Momentum and Other Problems [Journals] [SIS Review]
... have come to naught, since no paper on electric-star theory since then has deigned to discuss Cook's model as a serious alternative. (See, for example, E. R. Milton's "Electric Stars in a Gravity-Less Electrified Cosmos", SISR V:1 , 1980/81, pp. 6-12, and "The Not So Stable Sun", Kronos V:1 , 1979, pp. 64-78.) Perhaps it is possible for a proponent of a competing model to listen to Bass twice, yet not hear him. Hopefully the publication of Bass' comments will serve to remedy this impasse, which interferes with the general reader's full understanding of Velikovsky's challenge to conventional ...
... Of A Comet ONE of the great principles of the Universe is the law of attraction. It operates everywhere, in thousands of subtle ways, from the greatest to the least, but the general principle is ever present. A moth is attracted to a candle, a woman attracts a man, a volcano attracts a meteor, and the sun attracts a comet. Astronomers allege that the two great outer planets, Saturn and Jupiter, attract comets into the solar system. Howe states that the attraction of Jupiter sometimes increases a comet's velocity and its orbit becomes a parabola, or, if it diminish it, an ellipse, when the comet becomes an attache' of the sun ...
137. Effects of Atmospheric Dust on the Arcus Visionis [Journals] [Kronos]
... the Babylonian measurements were made (or possibly during the period of the Babylonian observations). In their analysis they identified thirteen independent parameters having to do with orbital elements of Earth and Venus, temporal synchronization of calendars, etc. One of the parameters involved in the analysis is called the arcus visionis, which is the angle at which the Sun must be below the observer's horizon for the skyglow to be low enough to allow Venus to "shine through". This parameter alone of the thirteen is affected by conditions of the Earth's atmosphere and therefore this parameter by itself might indicate "upheavals of the Earth", if such upheavals are associated with large amounts of dust loading of ...
138. "Limited Fusion" and "Anode-Stars" [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... that of R. E. Juergens and his electromagnetic model for the Solar System." Although I proposed several hypotheses in the paper, the writer did not specify which of these was incompatible with Juergens' model, nor why it should be so. I presume that he was referring to the hypotheses either; (a ) that the Sun was originally part of a binary system and that its partner was disrupted by an invading third star which has remained in the disrupted system, or (b ) that the gas giant planets contain heavy element cores created by "limited fusion" processes within them. Neither of these hypotheses is incompatible with Juergens' electromagnetic model. Concerning ( ...
139. On the Nature of Cometary Symbolism [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. XI No. 1 (Fall 1985) Home | Issue Contents On the Nature of Cometary Symbolism David Talbott and Ev Cochrane BACKGROUND In our previous paper (KRONOS X:1 ), we proposed a unique mythological connection between a former "sun" god and a prehistoric comet. The old god we recognized as Saturn, the central, polar sun of earliest remembered times; and the comet we identified as Velikovsky's comet Venus, an active participant in the events of Saturn's epoch. Numerous myths and closely related symbols, we suggested, appear to associate a comet-like Venus with the band of the "enclosed sun" , the ancient image of Saturn ...
140. Astronomical Theories and Ice Ages [Articles]
... had come. up with his theory, someone said, there must be an explanation for this, and a chap called, I think it's Adhémar, round about 1842 or -3, said, what about this business of the precession of the equinoxes, we know that in fact the Earth is not moving in a perfect circle round the Sun, it's moving in an ellipse. We also know from way back, that there is precession occurring, the precession of the equinoxes, and combining these two effects, maybe this has produced some changes on Earth which is changes in the amount of heat at different times of the year in different parts of the world, maybe this ...
