... Inanna's well-known role as the queen of heaven'. There is nothing particularly unusual here, but from line 9 on there is a change of mood and Enheduanna begins to portray Inanna as goddess of the storm and of destruction: 9. Like a dragon you have deposited venom on the land 10. When you roar at the earth like Thunder, no vegetation can stand up to you. 11. A flood descending from its mountain, 12. Oh foremost one, you are the Inanna of heaven and earth! 13. Raining the fanned fire down upon the nation, Here we see the first signs of something out of the ordinary. The goddess is likened to a ...

233. Cosmic and Terrestrial Lightning [Books] [de Grazia books]
... SIX Cosmic and Terrestrial Lightning A powerful, highly developed and mysterious people of ancient Italy, the Etruscans, believed in the strictest set of relationships between the small Earth and the great and divine Universe [1 ]. They planned their cities astronomically, as did all early peoples, but, more specifically, worshiped lightning and gave "the thunderbolting god" Jupiter to the Romans. They founded a College of Lightning Arts (ars fulminum) at Visul. When a bolt of lightning struck, the ground became at that instant hallowed; no one might disturb it until priests made a site inspection and had concluded which of thirty types of lightning it was and what should be done ...
234. Thoth Vol VI, No 2: March 15, 2002 [Journals] [Thoth]
... scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. He works at the Parsons Laboratory on the main campus and at Lincoln Laboratory. The discharge tube model has been confirmed by many ground-based experiments. But discharge tubes require a power supply to function. Where is the power supply for sprites? Anyone who says that it is powered by the thunderstorm hasn't understood the question. If we don't understand how a thunderstorm generates lightning then we have much further to go than is generally admitted by researchers. Bering writes, "from what is known to date, it may be speculated that sprites or jets, or both, are an integral feature of every thunderstorm system of moderate size or ...
235. The Electric Universe: Slide Presentation & Notes by Wallace Thornhill [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Along the way, he incorporated insights from plasma physics and atmospheric electrical phenomena. The process of synthesizing these viewpoints into a new paradigm involved years of research, but Thornhill summarizes it admirably in a single picture, one so startling that it appears three times in this notebook. The photo in question shows an ancient statue of Zeus, thunderbolt poised in his up-raised hand. But the object called "thunderbolt" isn't the familiar zigzag lightning symbol. Instead, it's a bundle of corkscrew filaments within a football-shaped envelope, a form recognizable today as a plasmoid. The ancient artist, who presumably had no experience in plasma labs, sculpted a likeness that has been meaningless for centuries ...

237. Velikovskian Catastrophes in the Revelation of St. John [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... this time, but an uplifted and departing sky. In 6:15-17 we see that for the author of Revelation too the catastrophes depicted here are not ordinary ones: And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth; and there were voices [or noises] and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.[Revelation 8:5 ] The combination of lightnings, earthquakes, and heavy noises indicates a catastrophe of cosmic origin. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up ...
238. Pandemonium [Books] [de Grazia books]
... told that when the volcano at Cosequina, Nicaragua, erupted on January 30, 1835, the explosion was heard in Jamaica, 850 miles away. The blast was so terrible that at one village "300 of those who lived in a state of concubinage were married at once." Tornados have their own repertoire. A tornado, like thunder, is heard many miles away. As it approaches, there is a peculiar whistling sound that rapidly changes to an intense roar, reaching a deafening crescendo as it strikes. The screeching of the whirling winds is then so loud that the noises caused by the fall of wrecked buildings, the crashing of trees, and the destruction of ...
239. Mount Sinai, Part 1 Venus Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... sent close to the earth, made contact with it in electrical discharges, retreated, and approached again. If we are to believe the Scriptural data, there elapsed seven weeks, or by another computation, about two months(8 ) from the day of the Exodus to the day of the revelation at Mount Sinai. "There were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. . . . And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke . . . and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked ...
240. On the Advance Claim of Jupiter's Radionoises [Journals] [Kronos]
... in Collision, "Epilogue"). Interplanetary discharges took place when Mars and Earth came into close contact (Worlds in Collision, "Synodus"). The projected volumes dealing with catastrophes preceding those that took place at the end of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt carry the titles "Saturn and the Flood" and "Jupiter of the Thunderbolt". The planet-god Jupiter (Zeus, Ormuzd, Shiva, Marduk) was pictured with a thunderbolt because of the spectacles witnessed by the inhabitants of the Earth - like a discharge that was directed toward Venus when it approached its parental body (Worlds in Collision, "The Blazing Star"), or when the Earth itself might ...
