... and Eric Aitchison Here we go again! John Bimson clarified as much as is possible in his earlier paper [1 ]. Damien Mackey may think he's found something worthwhile but he ignores facts that cannot be overlooked and introduces extra complications in what are basically several different tales. 1. Solomon The whole problem starts, of course, with Velikovsky. He seemed to be unaware that Solomon is a fictional character and tried to tie him into real, i.e . Egyptian, history. I was surprised to discover, in the 1980s, in a serious and orthodox French-language serialisation of the Bible, richly illustrated and interspersed with reports of archaeological findings, that there is not ...
462. Aphrodite - The Moon or Venus? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... "Worlds in Collision" he draws our attention to the Homeric Hymn to Ares" (1 ), which explicitly refers to that deity as a planet god - the hymn leaves no doubt that one of Ares' most important aspects was as the god of the planet he named, Ares to the Greeks, Mars to the Romans. Velikovsky has also made an excellent case for identifying the goddess Athena with the planet Venus, an original and extremely important discovery. In pointing out these things he has made an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the myths and religion of the Greeks, albeit a contribution still ignored by classical scholars. If he is right the task now in ...
463. In Defence of Higher Chronologies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1998:2 (Mar 1998) Home | Issue Contents ARTICLES In Defence of Higher Chronologies by Professor Lynn E. Rose In his Theses [1 ] and later in his Ages in Chaos series [2 ], Immanuel Velikovsky lowered the dates of many ancient societies. Typically, this was by about 5 to 7 centuries, although the Sebennytic Dynasty of Egypt was lowered by about 8 centuries. For many years I have supported these various lowerings. In the early 1990s, I even began arguing that Dynasty XII of Egypt also had to be lowered, by a little over one Sothic period. Actually, the famous Sothic date in ...

466. Cosmic Catastrophes and the Day of the Lord [Articles]
... Transcript from the Princeton Seminar: Velikovsky: The Decade Ahead Cosmic Catastrophes and the Day of the Lord Warner Sizemore Warner Sizemore: "My subject is Cosmic Catastrophes and the Day of the Lord and I want to say at the outset, that these are my own ideas, Dr. Velikovsky very wisely avoided getting into religious issues though he knew there were many implications of his work for religion. He said, I have enough battles to fight on scientific fronts, I will leave the religious issues to you other fellows. And so, rushing in, where angels fear to tread, I have taken up the cudgels in regard to religion because I spent most of my ...
467. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... In his discourse on the problem of the denotation of cosmogonic agents in mythology, Grant detailed the different types of metamorphic processes which have corrupted ancient myths and legends. Certainly, these processes have been at work and the complexity of the problem in interpreting such texts is, to say the least, staggering. Yet in spite of this, Velikovsky is criticised for not only choosing his sources but for also choosing what they should mean. As some mythologists seem to use this technique regularly without rebuttal, it does seem unfair to level this criticism at Velikovsky's work. In work of this nature, only a fool would not choose suitable sources. Because of the corruption which has polluted ...

... his obsession with materialism. Included in the list of prophecies are of course the well-known Fatima warnings and others issued from time to time by members of the Church of Rome. The reason for the inclusion and advertisement of this book is the fact that the instruments of the portended doom are seen to be related to the work of Dr. Velikovsky in which he deals with the destructive agencies in earth's history and relates them to comets colliding with the earth, viz. Worlds in Collision'. Quite apart from the fact that the Church would be the first to protect herself from the many saintly predictions which have been made through the ages on the grounds of their unreliability, however ...
