... death" and an overwhelming cataclysm - the great Deluge. The mystery of Saturn's past, as posed by Velikovsky's intriguing references, inspired the several years of research behind one of the writers' recently-published book, The Saturn Myth.(2 ) The book proposes that Saturn - fixed at the celestial pole - loomed massively overhead, a central sun venerated by all mankind. Evidence is presented there for a Saturnian "polar configuration" as the source of early civilization's dominant symbols. One of the features of this Saturnian configuration was a giant band surrounding the planet. The Saturn Myth is a preface to a longer saga involving interplanetary upheavals. In that book, no reference is made ...
... God's garment, and the earth from the snow under the Divine Throne.[18] Tohu is a green band which encompasses the whole world, and dispenses darkness, and Bohu consists of stones in the abyss, the producers of the waters. The light created at the very beginning is not the same as the light emitted by the sun, the moon, and the stars, which appeared only on the fourth day. The light of the first day was of a sort that would have enabled man to see the world at a glance from one end to the other. Anticipating the wickedness of the sinful generations of the deluge and the Tower of Babel, who were ...
213. The Many Faces Of Venus - The Planet Venus in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... planet Venus as seen in the heavens a few thousand years ago must have been very different then compared to now. He goes on to consider the universal female, goddess aspect assigned to the planet. She was associated with fertility, beauty and long, flowing hair and was frequently the wife of the Morning Star or the daughter of the sun'. Yet at the same time she could be terrible and destructive and sacrifices to her were common. In Mesopotamia the Sumerian Inanna and the Semitic Ishtar were identified with the planet Venus and dominated ancient religion in this area. From this earliest civilised period the goddess was associated with an 8-pointed star or rosette and a pole-like standard with ...
... Chapter XXXVII The Egyptian and Babylonian Ecliptic Constellations I HAVE already in Chapter 32 pointed out that at Anna we seemed limited to Set as a stellar divinity; so soon as pyramid times are reached, however, this was changed, and we found the list of the gods increased, and the worship of the sun and of stars in the constellations of the Bull and Scorpion went on, if it was not begun, in Egypt, in pyramid tunes. These constellations were connected with the equinoxes; and associated with the introduction of these new worships in pyramid times was the worship of the bull Apis. The first question which now arises is. When were any ecliptic constellations ...
215. Analysis of the Babylonian Observations [Journals] [Kronos]
... periods during which Ninsianna is not visible. For example, we may be told that Ninsianna disappears in the west on such-and-such a date, remains absent for so many months and/or days, and reappears in the east on such-and-such a date. This phenomenon resembles the invisibility of an inner planet (one whose orbit lies closer to the Sun than does that of Earth) at the time near inferior conjunction, when the planet is passing between Earth and the Sun. Or we may be told that Ninsianna disappears in the east on such-and-such a date, remains absent for so many months and/or days, and reappears in the west on such-and-such a date. This phenomenon ...
216. Transcript of the Evening Session of the A.A.A.S. Symposium [Articles]
... to this last calculation here, which produced such remarkable results, in a correspondence between the energy required to flip the Earth over and the energy expended in a solar flare of great magnitude [Michelson had spoken of a geomagnetic storm, not a solar flare!] falls a little short when one realizes that the Earth as seen from the Sun represents rather less than ten to the minus eighth power of the total space into which the energy of that flare is expelled. Therefore, the 10 23 ergs results in less than 10 15 ergs at the Earth. Thank you. HUBER: How do you conserve angular momentum? MICHELSON [regarding Mulholland]: I'll let that go ...
... or believe them to have been composed without regard to opinions and theories founded on the observation of Nature. In astronomy, for instance, it is declared that, at the North Pole, the year was divided into a long day and night, and that their long day was the northern, and their night the southern course of the sun ; and to the inhabitants of the moon, it is said one day is equal in length to one month of mortals.f If such statements cannot be resolved into mere conjectures, we have no right to refer tomere chance the prevailing notion that the earth and its inhabitants had formerly undergone a succession of revolutions and aqueous catastrophes interrupted ...
218. Remarks on Solar Jet Stream Weather [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1997:2 (Feb 1998) Home | Issue Contents Thoth VOL I, No. 22. August 31, 1997 Remarks on Solar Jet Stream Weather I've downloaded the images and text [of the above article] to find that it offers startling confirmation of the "Electric Universe" model, which sees the Sun being powered externally by plasma currents from the galaxy. Few, if any of the features on the Sun have any right being there if it is purely an isolated nuclear source of energy. For example, if the Sun is an isolated body in space radiating away its internal energy, then it should have no "weather". ...

... barycenter is about 1,700 km beneath Earth's surface. The Earth/Moon orbit is more elliptical than that of Venus and less than that of Mars. Its ellipticity varies between 0.005 and 0.06 over a 100,000 year cycle and is 0.017 at present. The Earth/Moon barycenter distance from the Sun varies between 147.06 Gm and 152.14 Gm in a year and its average distance of 149.6 Gm is, by definition, 1.0 AU. The Earth/Moon period of revolution is 365.2422 solar days and its sidereal year is 365.2564 days. The Moon The Moon is slightly smaller ...
220. "Let There be Light" [Journals] [Kronos]
... more flattened at the poles than it is at present. It may also have been seen far more clearly from Earth by ancient man so that the planet would, more than anything else, have appeared as a vast celestial egg. In fact, the Egyptians so represented the disc of Atum (the same as Temu), the Saturnian sun of night.(45) It is also possible that the planet Saturn was much closer to Earth than it is at present or that the Earth itself was on an entirely different orbit and at a different distance from the sun than it is now. In fact we have good reason to believe that, during the period of Earth ...
