... they can suck up or lay down lakes of waters [18]. PANDEMONIUM AND DARKNESS With such forces in operation, the sights and noises are terrible and maddening. When the "dormant" Krakatoa volcano exploded in 1883 (following, incidentally, by a year the passage of the Earth through the tail of a comet), the thunderous noise was heard a thousand miles away. The noise of the eruption of Cosaguena, Nicaragua, on January 30, 1935 was heard in Jamaica 850 miles away. The fright was so severe that in one village "300 of those who lived in a state of concubinage were married at once."[19] Jupiter was the ...
103. Earthquakes [Books] [de Grazia books]
... testimony of a resident about the New Madrid, Mo., earthquakes: The first shock came at 2. a.m ., December 16, 1811, and was so severe that big houses and chimneys were shaken down, and at half-hour intervals light shocks were felt until 7 a.m ., when a rumbling like distant thunder was heard, and in about an instant the earth began to totter and shake so that persons could neither stand nor walk. The earth was observed to roll in waves a few feet high, with visible depressions between. By and by these swells burst, throwing up large volumes of water, sand, and coal. Some was ...
... of the sun"), and of ghosts, because they were products and expressions of a group of complex beliefs similar to that symbolized by the whirlwind spiral. But the dragon and "makara" were not merely complex manifestations of the group of ideas connected with the "air of life " the whirlwind. The dragon was a "thunderer". In Asia the thunder god, in human, animal or reptile form, caused the "birth "of the year by bringing fertilizing and nourishing rain. He was, however, closely associated with the wind god, or a group of wind gods, as was, for instance, the Hindu Indra with Vayu, and ...
105. What Was "Brimstone"? [Journals] [Kronos]
... the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne; "And the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God. "Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth; and there were peals of thunder, loud noises, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake."(2 ) Before analysing this passage, let us make an enquiry concerning the Hebraic institution of offering "incense" upon the "golden altar": "The offering of incense, or burning of aromatic substances, is common in the religious ceremonies of nearly all ...
106. Fragments of Myths of Culture Heroes [Books]
... which has been surmised, would have been unnecessary. Hence the explanation offered above is probably correct. There are numerous helpful mythological parallels. In the Jewish myths we are told that the language of the angels' is different from that of men', and that the voice of God is different again. Its accents are sonorous, like thunder. The motif of a culture-hero interested in the language of other survivors of the great cataclysm is found in several mythologies. Occasionally we are led to infer that these survivors were of very mixed race speaking quite a number of languages and that the culture-hero taught them his own speech to give them a common bond. The Babylonians tell of ...

... earth. This time it did not reverse the poles of the earth, but kept the terrestrial axis tilted for a considerable length of time. Again the world was, in the language of the rabbis, "consumed in the whirlwind," "and all the kingdoms tottered," "the earth quaked and trembled from the noise of thunder"; terrified mankind was decimated once more, and carcasses were like rubbish in this Day of Anger.(2 ) On the day when this took place on the earth, the sky was in confusion. Stones fell from the heavens, sun and moon stopped in their paths, and a comet must also have been seen. ...
109. The Science of Catastrophism [Articles]
... seems to indicate that, at more than one time in the geologically recent past, immense earthly catastrophes did occur. From the evidence, it seems that at different times the Earth was seared and scarred and rent and overturned, and the sky was filled with darkness and light, blazing heat and choking dust, rains of fire and overwhelming thunder, unstoppable, unpredictable and colossal. We who are catastrophists believe three general things: that events like these did probably occur, that our ancestors saw, remembered and recorded them in myth, religion, folklore and art, and that we the human race are as scarred psychologically by them as the Earth was geologically. As Velikovsky put ...

... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History XIII:2 (July 1991) Home | Issue Contents The Day the Sun Stood still Robert H. Chappell, Jr.Stones falling from heaven.., a disturbance in the motions of the Sun and Moon... devastating tsunamis... plagues and pestilences of unknown origin.., thunder and lighting from a cloudless sky... earthquakes of incalculable intensity... all these phenomena were crammed into a single day!
