... ."12 Celsus and Origen were familiar with the view that the deluge and world conflagration were caused by planets, and that these world catastrophes could be calculated in advance. Pliny wrote: "Most men are not acquainted with a truth known to the founders of the science from their arduous study of the heavens," namely, that thunderbolts "are the fires of the three upper planets."13 He differentiated them from lightning caused by the dashing together of two clouds. Seneca, his contemporary, also distinguished lightnings that "seek houses" or "lesser bolts" and the bolts of Jupiter "by which the threefold mass of mountains fell."14 A vivid ...
112. The science of meteoritics: Stones of Heaven [Books]
... appearance of man. This had been denied for many centuries, although many historical documents and traditions of Antiquity refer directly or indirectly to the fall of meteorites. It was generally believed by the scientific world of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries that `stones of heaven', `sky stones', or thunderbolts' were terrestrial stones thrown into the air by volcanoes and which, after travelling in the atmosphere, fell to the ground. It was also sometimes believed that they were splinters of stones broken up by lightning and thrown into the air. Peoples of Antiquity did not question the extra-terrestrial origin of `stones of heaven'. They considered ...
113. The Electric Saturnian System [Journals] [Aeon]
... was still a satellite of proto-Saturn. Even Jupiter's moon, Io, I believe, was originally covered with ice. The sulfurous deposits on that moon are a result of continuous electric discharges from Jupiter, which convert the oxygen in the ice to sulfur. We see another example on the next closest moon to Jupiter, Europa, where Jupiter's thunderbolts have etched red furrows across its icy surface in the recent past. AEON: You stated that, in your opinion, Earth once orbited in the anode dark space beneath the chromosphere of the brown dwarf that was proto-Saturn. [4 ] What, exactly, is this "anode dark space" you refer to? Wallace Thornhill ( ...
114. Annotated Bibliography for Catastrophism [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Butterworth, E. A. S. The Tree at the Navel of the Earth. Walter de Gruyter and Co., Berlin, 1970. Butterworth considers the mythology of the World Tree and the Tree of Life with emphasis on Asiatic variants. He also discusses important symbols (the lunar crescent, the bowl, the sun, the thunderbolt) and the relationship of the world tree to ecstatic rituals shamanism, and yoga. Butterworth shows the human body was mapped onto the cosmos by ancient peoples, and how the human spine was related to the cosmic axis or world tree. Wood, Robert Muir. The Dark Side of the Earth. Allen & Unwin, London and ...
115. Thorium Enrichment in Crater Rims: Earth and Moon [Journals] [Aeon]
... it? Ralph Juergens' suggestion that craters are carved by electric discharge machining, (EDM), might be worth investigating, especially in light of the Aboriginal legends concerning the rainbow snake which emerged from the ground to form the Wolfe Creek Crater. [10] This is especially of interest since this is a motif associated globally with celestial thunderbolts. Can the chemical composition of solids be changed by plasma? Yes, in several ways. EDM can deposit or peel away layers of material in defiance of gravity. This is because gravity is no obstacle to the much stronger force of electricity. The process of electrically removing or depositing layers is widely used in manufacturing. Harold Tresman ...
116. The Lesser Light [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... from the sky and cast to the very depths of the universe and there enchained in the region which stretches beneath the earth and the fruitless sea. . ." 2 In the words of Hesiod (8th Century B.C .) : ". . . [Zeus] was reigning in heaven, himself holding the lightning and glowing thunderbolt, when he had overcome by might his father Cronus. . . ." Jupiter's fate was later realized as the once brilliant planetary disc shrank to a pin point of light, his glory removed from the sky of earth forever. The Saturn-Jupiter succession and Jupiter's ultimate departure are colorfully preserved by the Tupinamba Indians of Brazil. "The ...

... has more than 2 million cubic kilometres of material removed. Some of it seems to have crashed back, which explains why Mars is rock strewn wherever spacecraft have landed, but some went into the asteroid belt and some was dumped on Earth. Mars was known as scarface' by North American Indians after it was struck by one of Jupiter's thunderbolts, so the Earth was close enough to receive Martian debris. Consequently geology has to look at a couple of mechanisms that have never before been considered. One is the dumping of material from space at intervals to form global strata. Another one is the creation of radioactive material as a result of catastrophic interplanetary electric discharges. In other ...
118. Catastrophes: the Diluvial Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... survivors were Deucalion and his wife, Pyrrha [2 ]. As well as legends of a catastrophic flood, there are other widespread myths where the Earth suffered near destruction by fire. An example is one from Greece in which Phaeton took the Sun-chariot and drove it too close to the Earth, scorching the surface, until Zeus cast a thunderbolt and caused Phaeton to fall to his death. According to the philosopher, Plato (c . 429-347 BC), the basis of the Phaeton myth was one of a series of cosmic disturbances which caused periodic catastrophes on Earth [3 ]. The origins of myth and legend are far from certain and may not be the same in ...

120. Symbols of an Ancient Sky: Slide Presentation & Notes by David Talbott [Journals] [Aeon]
... events, as narrated by Talbott, read like a theatrical drama. A contender enters- a warrior, a hero, a brother, a father, an enemy, a monster. The lines become blurred. And then doomsday. The war of the gods, chaos-monsters, the displacement or death of the great god himself who hurls his thunderbolts from heaven- and even swallows his own children. At this point, it appears that the warrior hero intercedes. Pushing the great god back- or contending with a monstrous other- he himself falls to Earth. Sometimes considered an interloper, sometimes a savior, his celestial actions seem to have brought about a welcome respite. The ...
