... From: Aeon Volume VI, Number 4 Home | Issue Contents The Calendar Eric Aitchison Velikovsky'S Original Argument Immanuel Velikovsky maintained that, during the period up to 747-687 B.C ., the year consisted of 360 days and that subsequently the year changed to approximately 365.25 days per year. He quotes from a substantial number of ancient sources for his argument. His agent for this significant change to the orbital period of the Earth's travels around the Sun was the planet Mars. Velikovsky maintained that Mars caused disruptions on a 15-year cycle. One of the more famous disruptions resulted in the destruction of Sennacherib's army outside the walls of Jerusalem in 687 B.C .

392. Myth and the Origin of Religion [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 4: (Fall 1974) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered IX" Home | Issue Contents Myth and the Origin of Religion Vine Deloria, Jr.MYTH AS HISTORY Mr. Deloria, the author of Custer Died for Your Sins and God is Red, was formerly the Executive Director of the National Congress of American Indians. He attended Iowa State University and Lutheran School of Theology (Illinois), and is a practicing lawyer. If there were gigantic planetary catastrophes in former times, how should they have been described in order to receive credulous consideration by men several thousand years later? What format should the ancients have used so that we could ...
393. Sagan vs. Sagan [Journals] [Kronos]
... and publicized in the scientific and general press. However, scientists who may have wanted to check Sagan's calculations could not do so, for the mathematical appendices to which he referred in his paper were not supplied at the time. They were not distributed until two years later, in mimeographed form, and were finally made public in Scientists Confront Velikovsky. * [NB: a probability of 7.3 x 10 -28 ~ odds of 1.4 x 1027 against.- LMG] Since Sagan's criticism is considered by many as a "quantitative refutation" of Worlds in Collision, it is only fair to subject these appendices- which include most of the quantitative and scientific arguments ...
394. The 108-year Cyclicism of the Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Aeon]
... extensively with the fossil record in North America, it became clear that catastrophism, not uniformitarianism, was the key to candid interpretation of the massive fossil record. But how were these watery, oceanic upheavals caused? Neither Nelson nor Rehwinkel, nor an earlier geologist on whom both relied (George McCready Price), addressed such a question. Velikovsky did. Upon the first reading of Worlds in Collision, it was clear that those ancient catastrophes were astronomical in scope. A reading of his Earth in Upheaval(4 ) added breadth to the topic of catastrophism. This was a great, new insight in the 1950s. It opened the way to further reading, analysis, synthesis ...
395. The Chronology of the Late Kings of Egypt [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... his list providing only the names of the kings at Tanis. It has been necessary to depend on evidence from the monuments for the names and order of the High Priest kings ruling at Thebes.1 In the face of this situation, the concept of still further parallelism, as yet unrecognized, should not be eliminated from serious consideration. Velikovsky Challenges the Conventional Chronology In the early 1950's Immanuel Velikovsky published a volume under the title Ages in Chaos,2 in which the conventional chronology of Egypt was challenged. It was proposed that the chronological scheme has its dates set too far back on the time scale, the deviations from actuality amounting to periods ranging from 300 to 800 years ...
396. Jupiter in Collision: in Search of Velikovsky's Comet [Articles]
... Jupiter in Collision: in Search of Velikovsky's Comet Milton Zysman Introduction "Of all the mysterious phenomena which accompanied the Exodus, this mysterious pillar seems the first to demand explanation." Velikovsky came to his catastrophic thesis through a search for a reliable chronology for ancient middle eastern history. This search, born of the realization that both Egyptians and Israelites alike went through a great physical upheaval, gave rise to the most influential work on catastrophism published in this century. Hebrew traditions of the red and poisonous Nile, the impenetrable darkness, the hot stones from heaven, the great winds and noise, the anomalous behaviour of insects and animals and the tidal effect at the Sea of ...
397. On the planetary orbital changes proposed by Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2002:1 (Sep 2002) Home | Issue Contents On the planetary orbital changes proposed by Velikovsky Laurence Dixon University of Hertfordshire Hatfield, UK In Worlds in Collision Velikovsky assumed that planet Earth interacted catastrophically with Venus and Mars at least in two occasions: circa 1447 BC Venus came close to Earth, resulting in the catastrophical events associated with Exodus circa 687 BC Mars came close to Earth, resulting in the Sennacherib army catastrophe. Velikovsky moreover proposed that Venus originated from Jupiter at some revious time and that the orbits of Mars and Venus rounded up after the 687 BC event. A detailed analysis of the dynamics of the proposed interactions and rounding up ...

Now, in Ages In Chaos, he presents another aspect of his startling theory - a unique and radical revision of ancient history. Taking for his starting point the simultaneous physical catastrophes described in the book of Exodus and in Egyptian documents, Dr. Velikovsky reconstructs the political and ...
399. Ice Cores and Common Sense Part 1 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... paper to SIS Review. Only excerpts from that paper were published (II:2 , December 1977, p. 31). The prospect of being able to confirm the reality of Velikovsky's claims of planetary catastrophe should be tremendously exciting to his supporters. Physical evidence of such catastrophes would bring the recognition and acceptance they seek from science. Velikovsky himself made numerous attempts to have scientific experiments performed to test his theories. But ice cores do not seem to have generated any interest in the Velikovskian literature for the next seven years. In 1984 Alfred de Grazia's privately published The Burning of Troy made its appearance. This collection of essays has one piece called "Ice Cores of Greenland ...

But subsequent discoveries have corroborated details of his theory. In this book, and in other volumes to come, Dr. Velikovsky continues the equally radical reconstruction of ancient history he began in Ages in Chaos. With carefully documented evidence, and ...
