... battened her down" It is from the description of this storm, as related to Gilgamesh by Utna- pishtim, that V extracts the various details quoted on etc p.72. I here quote Sandars' version of it and will comment later: ' With the first light of dawn a black cloud came from the horizon; it thundered within where Adad, lord of the storm was riding. In front over hill and plain Shullat and Hanish, heralds of the storm, led on. Then the gods of the abyss rose up; Nergal pulled out the dams of the nether waters, Ninurta the war- lord threw down the dykes, and the seven judges of ...
32. Archetypes Showing The Presence of Anomalous Electromagnetic Activity [Journals] [SIS Review]
... field [26]. In the Hindu concept of the World Mountain or Axis, there is the belief that, around the latter two, spiral lines coil in opposite directions [27]. However this shape is most prominent in the ancient concepts of the double axe, a horizontal manifestation of facing triangles, and its relation to the thunder god and his powers. The mythologist Jean Chevalier writes [28]: all cultures associate the ax with thunder. The Maya, the Amerindian, the Celts and the T'ang all called stone axes thunder stones and they all said they came from Heaven. The Dogon and Bambara identified thunderbolts with axes thrown by the thunder god. Therefore ...

34. 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 ...
35. Commemoration Of The 2300bc Event [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , its supersonic speed creates a shock wave, generating sound. If its shape allows it to be aerodynamically stable, a continuous sound results. Most, however, have an uneven shape and tumble, producing jagged, discontinuous sounds. The shock wave generates a sonic boom, like a vehicle backfiring, cannon fire, or a clap of thunder followed by a series of echoes. Another sound is caused by air collapsing into the semi-vacuum created behind the bolide. This initially covers the entire audio frequency spectrum but, as atmospheric damping increases with frequency, the sounds at ground level are low-pitched, resembling cannon fire, thunder, or an express train. The bolide travels so fast ...
36. 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 ...

... institutions were Etruscan in origin. The general opinion in the ancient world was that Etruscans had come to Italy from the east. Cicero mentions the Lydian soothsayer of Etruscan race, "Lydius haruspex Tyrrhenae gentis." He mentions Etruscan books on divination, haruspicini (pertaining to entrails), fulgurales (about lightning), and tonitruales (about thunder) [3 ]. Ancient peoples considered that it was a king's duty both to be wise, sapere, and to foretell the future, divinare [4 ]. At Rome in early times the augurs met regularly on the Nones of the month [5 ]. The magistrate is spoken of as auspicans, taking the auspices, ...
38. Mythic Mountains by Isaac Vail [Books]
... . Thus it became the Mount of the Lord in which "IT was seen". This squares completely and inevitably with the otherwise full demonstration that Jehovah was power manifested in the true heaven and came into complete control of the world as the canopy passed away. Thus he becomes the God of the true sky, the controller of the thunder storm, etc. just as Zeus in Greece, and Indra in India. We thus are confronted with the fact that all the visible glory so often seen and so prominently made a visible feature in sacred history must be now considered in connection with the world-mountain, which would never have been heard of save as a canopy memorial. ...

... 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 ...
40. Fire From Heaven [Journals] [SIS Review]
... or Troy. Perhaps fire from heaven was simply lightning. McBeath argues that Elijah's fire from heaven was, in effect, caused by lightning, on the basis that anything struck by lightning would become hot. Lightning is also a common phenomenon, unlike meterorites, but lightning may have become associated with them. Many meteorite falls are associated with thunderous, or explosive sounds and these are sometimes loud enough to vibrate, shake, or even damage buildings. The thunder claps' are, in effect, sonic booms. He elaborates by pointing out that both lightning and meteorites have been associated with dragons in the sky. This point was made in a challenge to Mike Baillie [7 ...
