71. Thoth Vol III, No. 4: Feb 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... reading Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds In Collision. Thornhill accepted the challenge of integrating the cultural record of mythology and the experiments of the plasma lab and the advances of the space age into a coherent picture. He summarizes this synthesis admirably in a single picture which appears on page 146 of the CD. The photo shows an ancient statue of Zeus, thunderbolt poised in his up-raised hand. But the object called "thunderbolt" isn't the zigzag symbol a child might draw to symbolize lightning. Instead, it's a bundle of corkscrew filaments within a football-shaped envelope, a shape recognizable today as a plasmoid. The ancient artist, who presumably had no experience in plasma labs, sculpted a shape that ...

... astronomers came to the correct conclusion, unexpected and surprising as it was. "In November, 1955, Harlow Shapley, reviewing the field of astronomy for the year that was coming to a close, selected a few highlights' as the most important events of the year. At the top of the discoveries he placed: "Detection of thunderbolts of Jove' of some similar strong electric effect in the atmosphere of the planet Jupiter...the first to be found from another planet in the solar system." "Shapley did not know the true significance of the metaphor. Of the thunderbolts of Jupiter, the classic literature and the religious beliefs of the races of the ...

There is thus no way to reconstruct this book since all we have are this short section together with some hints contained in Velikovsky's voluminous notes. Velikovsky even contemplated publishing this work as part of a larger book along with Saturn and the Flood and Jupiter of the Thunderbolt (see immediately below). Saturn and the Flood. The available material for this work has been compiled by me in the online entry In the Beginning. For this purpose I drew not only on the material written in the early forties, originally scheduled as part of Worlds in Collision, but also on material from various lectures and ...

... . However, since AEON seems to subscribe to Talbott's theory, rather than to Velikovsky's, it would only aggravate me. Talbott's theory is not based on celestial mechanics, as he himself has said. I am not interested in it for this reason. But if Velikovsky's work on the deluge- Saturn and the Flood and Jupiter of the Thunderbolt- should ever, by some miracle, be published, I would appreciate it if you'd let me know.

Fig. 26 Thor's hammer Fig. 27 Game board from Megiddo The Greeks thought that the wedge-shaped neolithic arrowheads they occasionally found strewn on the ground were palta, i.e . stones Zeus had pelted the earth with, accompanying his thunderbolt. Moreover, they thought the shape of the stones resembled the form of the hurling deity. So the many Greek palladia housed stones whose image and shape were said to resemble Athena or other deities. While modern authorities assume that these stones were meteorites, their wedge shape puts that identity in question. As noted above, the wedge ...

... hurleth down his bolt, his dart of death." Commenting on this passage, Griffith-the editor of the Rig Veda-notes that: "In this verse Indra is represented as a terrible God, and in the following verse as sometimes sending affliction'." As is well-known, Indra's weapon of choice was the vajra, typically understood as a thunderbolt. Indra's heaven-hurled weapon, however, is elsewhere said to be composed of metal or stone. Here Gonda observes: "Although Indra's weapon is usually explicitly designated by the term vajra, and vajra is generally described as metallic (ayasa), it is incidentally spoken of as a rock (parvata) or stone of, or: ...

From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Reversed Polarity of the Earth A thunderbolt, on striking a magnet, reverses the poles of the magnet. The terrestrial globe is a huge magnet. A short circuit between it and another celestial body could result in the north and south magnetic poles of the earth exchanging places. It is possible to detect in the geological records of the earth the orientation of the terrestrial magnetic field in past ages. "When lava cools and freezes following a volcanic outburst; it takes up a permanent magnetization dependent upon the orientation of the Earth's magnetic field at the time. This, because of ...

Even when a near miss occurred, the passage could alter the Earth's protective electrical sheath (as solar wind outbursts, produced by solar flares, do today), great thunderbolts would be generated, and again produce explosions at the surface. When a tremendous bombardment, or large-body encounter, would occur, most of the matter could not overcome the electrical repulsion of the Earth; but vast sporadic falls from above could dot the Earth's surface. Remnants are found buried under the fallout from later catastrophes (Velikovsky, ...
