... From: Recollections of a Fallen Sky, Edited by Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents Living with Velikovsky: Catastrophism as a World View Patrick Doran Department of Anthropology McMaster University In this paper on catastrophism and its consequences, I consider Velikovsky and "the new Anthropology"; this work removes the study of man from its present scientific, cyclical world view and places it in an apocalyptic cosmos. This is only a shift in perspective. The spadework, and most of the superstructure, have been done long ago at the formation of the world religions, as Velikovsky argues so convincingly. I will present evidence that the New World Hopis built their cosmology on catastrophism. ...
442. A Challenge to the Integrity of Science? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... all proportion if the work was valueless. The essential thesis of Velikovsky's work is that a vast body of worldwide myths and legends, of geological and archaeological data, and of the written records of many cultures, make much better sense if it is interpreted as evidence of a series of catastrophic close approaches to Earth by identifiable planetary bodies. Velikovsky reconstructed in detail from such historical evidence two such series of near contacts. The first he supposed to have occurred in the 15th century BC and to have involved Venus when it was a comet on an elliptical orbit. The second (and final) series he deduced to have happened in the 8th and early 7th centuries BC and to ...

... From: Kronos Vol. XI No. 3 (Summer 1986) Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky, Mars, and the Eighth Century B. C. Part One Sean Mewhinney INTRODUCTION According to Immanuel Velikovsky, on at least three occasions in the eighth and seventh centuries B.C . Mars passed close enough to the Earth to disturb its motion, tilting its axis, generating tremendous earthquakes and storms, raining fire from the skies, and causing great loss of life. For many nights before and after each of these catastrophes, Mars must have been a spectacular sight in the sky. As he himself wrote, this "period is part of the well authenticated history of ...

... and interchangeability of light and Benben stone- which present themselves somewhat as a unity- signifies a stupendous cosmic event which resulted in the expulsion of considerable physical matter, the emanation of great light, and the discharge of abundant water. We are, in fact, suggesting that the Atum-Re myth is the legacy of the Saturnian Deluge proposed by Velikovsky. (42) Helios and Heliopolis Heliopolis was itself the Primeval Mound, the first part of the land world to appear from the depths of the waters and the dwelling place of the High God as light...Since the waters were in absolute darkness the emergence of God [Atum] meant the coming of light, the ...

... 1981) Home | Issue Contents Are the Peleset Philistines or Persians?Donovan A. Courville It is generally accepted among archaeologists and historians that the chronology of Egypt has been settled as far back as c. 2000 B.C . and is immune to any further alterations in excess of about a decade. This concept was challenged by Immanuel Velikovsky in the mid 1950's in his Ages in Chaos. In this work he proposed alternate settings in the history of Egypt for the incidents of the exodus, the sacking of Solomon's temple, and the era of the Amarna Period. These altered placements called for a necessary chronological and historical abbreviation of traditional views by some 500 years. Many ...

... From: The Velikovskian Vol 4 No 1 (1998) Home | Issue Contents The Oceans Charles Ginenthal Velikovsky wrote briefly of the oceanic sediments in Earth in Upheaval. "In the fall of 1949, professor M. Ewing of Columbia University published a report on an expedition to the Atlantic Ocean. Explorations were carried on especially in the region about the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the mountainous chain that runs from north to south, following the general outlines of the ocean. The Ridge, as well as the ocean bottom to the west and to the east, disclosed to the expedition a series of facts that amount to `new scientific puzzles."10 "` One was the ...
