... the planet in question. But because "Child of Saturn" is devoted to Venus and Saturn, the proper identity of the Hindu Jupiter was left unaccounted for. In order to fill this void, I must rob Worlds In Collision of yet another identification. In that work, Indra is presented as the Hindu Mars.(3 ) Velikovsky based this identification on Indra's association with the host of minor deities known as the Maruts.(4 ) The connection of the Maruts with Mars was reached through a philological comparison. As Muller had earlier shown, the name Maruts (Marut, Maruta) shares a common etymological root with Mars (Martis).(5 ) This ...
432. Royal Incest [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Cosmic Heretics, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents PART ONE CHAPTER ONE Royal Incest Alfred de Grazia was entering his forty-fourth year when he met a self-styled cosmic heretic, Immanuel Velikovsky, who was already sixty- seven, and for the next twenty years a wide band of life's spectrum was colored by their relationship. As with a love affair, all that happened in the beginning presaged what would happen later, stretched out on the scale of time, themes doubling back upon themselves, attractions and reservations never to be erased, continuing accumulations. The men changed, the world of science changed, too, and also the political world, yet this latter ...
433. Akhnaten, Aten, and Venus Reconsidered [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 2 No 2: (May 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered I" Home | Issue Contents Akhnaten, Aten, and Venus Reconsidered Lewis M. Greenberg Lewis Greenberg is an assistant professor of the history of art, Franklin and Marshall College. I present here a new thesis pertaining to the worship of Aten by the heretic king, Akhnaten. Despite all the political and religious reasons given for that Pharaoh's dramatic shift from the worship of Amen and other gods, to the almost exclusive worship of Aten, there is still something elusive concerning the substantive motive for the change, for choice of deity, and for the meaning of- and extreme reaction against- ...
434. "A Silly Season". File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... From "Stargazers and Gravediggers" © 1983 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents "A Silly Season"BEN HIBBS, editor in chief of the Saturday Evening Post, sent me one of his associate editors, Frederic Nelson, to obtain unpublished material on the attempted suppression of Worlds in Collision. After spending some time with me, Mr. Nelson went away without the material and with only half a promise from me to write an article on the subject for the Post. I had all the pertinent material and could have very effectively defended my book and myself, but I was reluctant to give the facts and to name names. I never fulfilled my promise ...
435. Velikovsky and the Recent History of the Solar System [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 1: (Winter 1973-74) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VI" Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky and the Recent History of the Solar System PROPOSALS FOR PARTICIPATION NOW BEING RECEIVED INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario June 17-19, 1974 This coming June McMaster University will host an international gathering of scholars to examine the recent history of the solar system in the light of Velikovsky's work. Sponsored by the Student Academic Freedom Forum (publisher of Pensee) the multidisciplinary symposium will encompass the physical sciences, archaeology, and historical and mythological interpretation. All will be brought to bear on the question, "Has the Earth suffered major catastrophes during historical times? ...
436. Another Velikovsky Affray: the Histories [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1999:1 (Jul 1999) Home | Issue Contents Another Velikovsky Affray: the Histories by Dale F. Murphie Introduction My critique of David Rohl's A Test of Time [1 ] presented objections to the New Chronology' which has been offered as a replacement for Velikovsky's now generally discarded Revised Chronology', itself put together twixt 1944 and 1978. Many new theories for the history of the ancient world are emerging, inspired by notions that Velikovsky lost the plot in at least his last two books [2 ] and some claim glaring inconsistencies in his first [3 ]. I advocate amendments at many points in Velikovsky's work but believe ...
437. Corneille à l'Orange and Other Canards [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... fission, the rocky body observed today would be the residue from a much larger body after most of the volatiles had been dissipated to space. It is practically inconceivable for a Jovian planet, which today most likely possesses a rocky core, to have been undifferentiated so recently as even 10,000 years ago. The degree of reliance by Velikovsky and his supporters, including myself, on a Lyttleton-type fissioning, in retrospect, was clearly unjustified. Michael Friedlander pointed this out in 1974 at the Philosophy of Science Association meeting at the University of Notre Dame.(4 ) In this instance, Velikovsky changed Lyttleton's "it is even possible" to "must", thereby converting ...
438. Sceptics, Skeptics, Dissidents, Cranks and . . . [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... I recall you saying that the reason CSICOP does not spend time exposing errors and fraud among orthodox scientists is because this would fall outside the aim enshrined in its title - scientific investigation of claims of the paranormal. The question this leaves unanswered is why space is given over in the The Skeptical Inquirer to attacks on the work of people like Velikovsky. If you read his work (books such as Worlds in Collision, Earth in Upheaval and Ages in Chaos), you will find that it has nothing whatsoever to do with the paranormal. His only crime was to develop unorthodox theories in cosmology, geology and ancient history. He was not a charlatan either - if you compare ...
439. The Origin Of The Moon [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... controversial problem among astronomers and geophysicists for a long time. There are, at present, four major theories under consideration by members of the astrophysical community. Each of the four groups of advocates has been attempting to show that the evidence for its position is strongest and that the other concepts are fundamentally unfounded. In this contest of hypotheses, Velikovsky has interpreted the mythology and arrived at the conclusion that the Moon was captured recently by the Earth and set into its present orbit. In "Earth Without a Moon," Velikovsky states: Democritus and Anaxagoras taught that there was a time when the Earth was without the Moon. Aristotle wrote that Arcadia in Greece, before being inhabited ...
