... is the author of On Earth as it is in Heaven- The Truth of Ancient Myths and Legends is Written in the Stars. ' He claims to have discerned the stars forming Ursa Major as ca. 5 cathedral towns in France, with the extreme "right hand" member located in Germany on the Donnesberg- i.e . Thunder Mountain. This would be very appropriate if the dislocation of Saturn from the Polar Configuration by thundering Jupiter caused those seven stars to become visible and take on a new mythical role for themselves. I was therefore wondering whether these factors could yield a viable benchmark for determining the chronological order of events following the break-up of the Polar Configuration. ...
272. Catastrophe: An Investigation Into The Origins Of The Modern World (Book Review) [Journals] [Aeon]
... , and unripened fruits that withered on the vines. All bemoaned the distress of the times. The Javanese author and poet, Ranggawarsita III, from a familial legacy of generations of authors and poets, compiled The Book of Ancient Kings in the nineteenth century, the 1869 manuscript portion of which describes an event in the Shaka calendar of tremendous thunder, furious earthquakes, tornadic winds, and torrential rain that ripped apart the once integral island of Java-Sumatra, the mountains and plains of which sank into the sea. A later version written in the 1880s is descriptively colored by the 1883 modern eruption of Krakatoa. Chinese annals of the earlier period also speak of distant thunder and, in ...
273. 'Worlds in Collision' After Heinsohn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... : identifiable planets in datable events. His explorations of the other two remained fragmentary, as the posthumous publication of his manuscripts has revealed. His revision of ancient chronology in the Ages in Chaos series never succeeded in forging a complete chain of events for the periods and cultures it addressed and his manuscripts Saturn and the Flood and Jupiter of the Thunderbolt present only thin evidence for moving back from the Venus/Exodus Event to the Saturn/Flood Event which he posited as its first cause'. It has been left to others to show the fruitfulness of his first and last assumptions and much of the important work since his death has been done in these two areas. None, ...
274. Devi And Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... so with other parts of the Devi's anatomy. Next, each of the principal gods gave the newly created goddess a special weapon: Shiva duplicated his trident and presented it to her; Vishnu gave her a duplicate of his own cosmic weapon, the chakra (a flaming disc); Indra bestowed upon the Devi a copy of his own thunderbolt (vaira); Surya (the Sun) "bestowed his own rays on all pores of her skin"(4 ) (or: "Filled his rays in the roots of her hair"),(5 ) while Kala (Time)gave her a spotless sword and shield. (4 ) Others gave her ornaments ...
275. Jupiter - God of Abraham (Part III) [Journals] [Kronos]
... month the Lord executed His judgements on Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Zeboim, and all the region of the Jordan, and He burned them with fire and brimstone, and destroyed them until this day."(167) The version given by Flavius Josephus is even shorter but it introduces a new element: "God then cast a thunderbolt upon the city [Sodom], and set it on fire, with its inhabitants, and laid waste the country with the like burning."(168) According to Philo, "lightnings poured out of heaven".(169) Tacitus also reported that the cities were "struck by lightning and consumed".(170 ...
276. On Comets and Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... tremble and the earth to quake, By the gleam which lightens in the sky, By the blazing fire which rains upon the hostile land, I am Ishtar." (39) Ishtar finds a well-known parallel in Sumerian literature, where the warrior-goddess Inanna personified the planet Venus. In one Sumerian hymn the goddess was invoked as the Loud Thundering Storm: "You make the heavens tremble and the earth quake. Great Priestess, who can soothe your troubled heart? You flash like lightning over the highlands; you throw your firebrands across the earth. Your deafening commandsplits apart great mountains." (40) The Exaltation to Inanna associates the planet-goddess with a rain of fire, ...
277. Collective Amnesia: A Brief History of the Concept [Journals] [Kronos]
... which, in turn, finds reinforcement in Vico's concept of imaginative universals. Whereas Velikovsky contends that any conscious recollection of the global cataclysms he describes has been thwarted by the psychological trauma induced by the events themselves, Vico maintains that many of man's key myths are the result of his primal ancestor's awe when confronted by fearful natural phenomena such as thunder.(10) And if both Vico and Velikovsky are correct, the great catastrophes depicted by the latter would be a far more logical trigger for the collective repression indicated in their studies than localized natural phenomena related to ordinary floods, storms, and vulcanism.(11) Unlike Vico's New Science, Donnelly's Ragnarok: The Age of ...
278. Child of Saturn (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... identified Athene as Venus either. That particular identification rests its case on comparative mythology. It is, therefore, through a similar process that we must evaluate Velikovsky's identification of Vishnu and Shiva as Venus and Jupiter. What evidence did Velikovsky present for his identification of Shiva as Jupiter? Merely this: In Greek mythology we see Zeus hurling his thunderbolts at the Earth. Zeus is equated with the planet Jupiter. In Hindu mythology we see Shiva (or Siva) hurling his lightning at the world. Both Zeus and Shiva were depicted with lightning, or thunderbolts, in their hands. Is this enough to equate Shiva with Zeus and, therefore, with the planet Jupiter? Even ...

... darkness all over the earth. The nearest visible eclipse in the vicinity of Constantinople occurred the year before. At the death of Roland at the battle of Roncevales, dated August 15, 778, Turoldus (ca. 1100) writes that the following events happened: ". .. great and marvelous trouble: a storm of wind and thunder, of immeasurable wind and hail; lightning strokes came close and fast, and there was truly a great earthquake from Mount St. Michael to Seinz... there was not a house where walls did not burst. About noon there was a great darkness; there was light only when the heavens were rent. . . " ...
280. Venus Before Exodus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; and He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground" (Genesis 19:23-25). Josephus wrote of these verses: "God then cast a thunderbolt upon the city, and set it on fire with all its inhabitants; and laid waste the country with the like burning..." [21]. Rashi, commenting on the rain of brimstone and fire, wrote: "in the beginning it was rain and then it became brimstone and fire", and he compared ...
