... shiver, astronomy and physics classes suspend. Tall sails of new bold abstraction moved quietly his boat of exigencies carrying family, offices, friends. Diffident teacher calmly correcting. His papers stand in orderly files, called to attention for the future salute. Magna cum laude his life work ends. Princeton, November 7,1979. III IMMANUEL VELIKOVSKY 1895-1979 [1 ] "Where have you been? I tried all yesterday to reach you," said my mother's voice early on the day afterwards. Of course, I was in the library stacks, ' I said, wishing she would not demand an accounting as greeting. I might go into the stacks one day, and ...
292. Syria and Ugarit [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . While I remain unaware of the treaty to which James refers, I believe there can be no doubt that the Azaru in question is the same king of Amurru mentioned in a treaty between Hittite king Mursilis II and Azaru's grandson Duppi-Teshub.4 In a later article James refers to this treaty and Velikovsky's need to create a second Azaru5. Velikovsky s placement of the Hittite kings Suppiluliumas and his son Mursilis in the late seventh century leaves him with no alternative other than to put Azaru and his grandson in this period. This placement of a second Azaru is confirmed by the Holbrook time chart.6 Along with James, however, I reject this late placement of the Neo-Imperial Hittite ...
293. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... his motives, implying that his work is, therefore, somehow diminished. Using that yardstick, we would have to question Newton's contributions. Research should be judged on its own merits, not what motivates its creation. Most analysts have jumped on the bandwagon. One by one, it seems they have systematically rejected every catastrophic event designated by Velikovsky for his presumed lack of good evidence or because of perceived misinterpretations on his part- leaving the onlooker wondering whether the analysts accept the principle of catastrophe or not! No rational mind wants to defend the indefensible, support the insupportable. An error is an error is an error. But this rush to reject Velikovsky (for such it ...
294. Saturn's Sacred Mountain [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History VIII:1 (Jan 1986) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION Saturn's Sacred Mountain Dwardu Cardona It was bad enough to see critics burden Immanuel Velikovsky with ideas he never really entertained, only to have them ridiculed together with the man who supposedly formulated them. It is however much worse to have a supporter ofthe man burden him in this manner, no matter what the intent may be. While he may have meant well, Charles Seitz is guilty of nothing less. According to Seitz: [1 ] Immanuel Velikovsky proposed that Saturn was in a stationary position at the North Pole until the time of the Deluge, when it became a nova ...
295. The Papyrus Ipuwer, Egyptian Version Of The Plagues - A New Perspective [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 3 No 1 (1997) Home | Issue Contents The Papyrus Ipuwer, Egyptian Version Of The Plagues - A New Perspective Henry Zecher In the spring of 1940 Immanuel Velikovsky pondered what kind of natural catastrophe had turned the plain of Sodom and Gomorrah into the lake which Joshua and the Israelites came upon after the Exodus. He pondered the plagues described in the Book of Exodus, whether or not they were real and whether or not there was an Egyptian version of them. In search of just such a document, he soon discovered in a reference book the mention of an Egyptian papyrus by a sage named Ipuwer declaring that the Nile River was blood ...
296. The Inconstant Heavens [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Velikovsky Affair, Edited by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents 3. The Inconstant Heavens by Livio C. Stecchini The modern system of astronomy is now so much received by all inquirers, and has become so essential a part even of our earliest education, that we are not commonly very scrupulous in examining the reasons upon which it is founded. It is now become a matter of mere curiosity to study the first writers on that subject. David Hume, Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (1779), Part II. Only a few years ago astronomers were unanimous in dismissing as preposterous Velikovsky's contention that the movement of the heavenly bodies is affected by electromagnetic fields ...
297. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Mainstream astronomers have repeatedly rejected these ideas and in the strongest possible terms. They have described his scenarios as wildly impossible' and have felt justified in doing so because they have found no way of reconciling his celestial billiards' with the laws of physics as currently known. Contrast this reaction to that which has greeted the evidence from which Velikovsky had adduced his catastrophe ideas. The past is catastrophic, he declared, because man's collective memory in the mythology of many nations tells us this is so. This aspect of his thesis was not particularly new, for Donnelly, Horbiger and Bellamy before him had similarly interpreted myth in a catastrophist sense. However, there have been surprisingly ...
298. Hittites and Phrygians [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... uniformly and widely distributed throughout the northern rim of Mesopotamia from eastern Anatolia through Armenia to the Urmiah basin and the Araxes Valley, for it seems a relatively long period of prehistoric time- some one thousand years, per orthodox chronology. The eclipse of this culture, dramatic and sudden, has analogies with the picture of the past painted by Velikovsky: the occurrence of natural disaster invoking human dislocation and migration. The second millennium dark age serves to highlight and demonstrate the intrusive nature of Urartian culture, the confused length in time attributed to that dark age pointing perhaps toward sporadic settlement in the wake of disturbed conditions. That the Kingdom of Urartu was imperialistic can be deduced by the ...
299. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol 1 No 3 (Summer 1976) Home | Issue Contents Forum Communication For his reconstruction of ancient history, Dr Velikovsky relies to some extent on the el-Amarna letters. This correspondence contains letters from King Ashuruballit I of Assyria (Cambridge Ancient History, II (part 2), pp. 23-4 (3rd edn., 1975), quoting J. A. Knudtzon: Die el-Amarna-Taf'eln, Nos. 15 and 16 (Leipzig, 1915).) As far as I am aware, the basic chronology of Assyria in this period has not been questioned. It follows that the el-Amarna period must be placed securely in the 14th century BC, as ...

... W.C .1 (near Goodge Street station). The business will include: election of officers for the coming year; approval and adoption of a final Constitution. A good attendance is requested. Afterwards, the meeting will be addressed by Dr Irving Wolfe Assistant Professor of English at Montreal University and a contributor to Kronos. "VELIKOVSKY RECONSIDERED"It is ten years since the last book wholly devoted to Velikovsky and his theories appeared, which makes this anthology from the first eight issues of Pensée a major event for the S.I .S . For any reader not fortunate enough to possess a complete set of Pensée this book is an essential addition to their library ...
