... circa 756 B.C . (the heavier Jonah-Joel-Amos event) or 809 or 864 B.C . (when Elijah called down cosmic lightning on Mount Carmel). 3. Resonance of Five Planets. A third feature of this model emerges with some extended analysis and comparison of data and dynamics between Ron Hatch and myself in 1970-73. Velikovsky has shown convincingly that Earth's ancient orbit was 360 days- almost exactly, and not the present 365 ¼ days.17 This is a basic element, because it indicates that Earth's ancient orbit, before 701 B.C ., was slightly contracted. If the conjunctions migrated like a pendulum from March 21 to October 25, as ...
502. Much Ado about Tippe Top (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... say nothing concerning the mechanism behind the shifts.) At this point, any mechanism which allows the sharing of angular momentum among portions of the Earth (and possibly other bodies) in such a way as to conserve angular momentum in the system is a possibility. In this regard, a very important clue which seems consistently overlooked is that Velikovsky claims a change from a 360 day year to a 365 day year. If one assumes this change to be involved entirely in slower rotation, this represents about a three percent drop in system energy, which is not insignificant, and coincidentally is of the same order as the importance of the inertia of the equatorial bulge relative to the ...
503. Focus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 4 No 2 (Sep 1981) Home | Issue Contents Focus Last Words on the New Scientist' and Velikovsky [The following report was originally intended for WORKSHOP 3:3 but was omitted due to lack of space and then, regrettably, was overlooked. Although it is now sometime since Mr Douglas wrote to John Gribbin of NEW SCIENTIST, we felt that the exchange is too significant to go unpublished. - Ed.] Evidently, the NEW SCIENTIST's attitude to letters from readers concerning John Gribbin's article on Velikovsky (reported in WORKSHOP 3:2 "Focus"), was not confined to UK readers. We have heard from one of ...

... of Aharoni by Rothenberg's finds at the site of Timna, the details of which will be considered in a later section. But if there is any truth to the allegation that Egyptian history for this era has been mis-correlated with that of Assyria, it is quite probable the debate was closed prematurely and in the wrong direction. The thesis of Velikovsky thus enters into any final decision as to who was right and who was wrong about what. It is here contended and defended that there was a third alternative to the settlement of the problem which was never given consideration on either side, and hence the problem remains open. The pertinent evidences and reasoning on which the two opposing views ...

506. Pensée Volume 2, Number 2: Contents [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Volume 2, Number 2 Texts Home | Pensée Home PENSÉE May 1972, Volume 2, Number 2 Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered The man who told us that the earth, Mars and Venus suffered catastrophic collisions in historic times, that the sun really did "stand still" in Joshua's day, that our history of ancient Egypt contains 600 imaginary years- the man who wrote the 1950 bestseller, Worlds in Collision- was nearly laughted out of science during the Fifties. Today, some scholars are calling him the scientific genius of this century, and many others acknowledge his vindication at numerous crucial points. The evidence is coming in, and the tale it tells is ...
507. Before the Greeks: Professor Davis's Cretan Decipherments [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , if the Eteocretan inscriptions are taken into account. Thus the linguistic connexion between the Hittites of Asia Minor, Troy, Crete, Early, Middle, and part of Late Helladic, Greece seems assured' [10]. How well do these findings agree with the view of Greek history presented in Velikovsky's reconstruction? In the works of Velikovsky so far published, references to Crete and Greece are relatively few, fuller treatment being reserved for The Dark Age of Greece (unpublished). His Supplement of October 14, 1953 to Earth in Upheaval shows that he expected the Linear B tablets to be in Greek [11], and in 1973 Pensee published a chronological and synchronical ...
508. Jupiter God of Abraham (Part IV) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Venus, and Mercury. In fact there is nothing in the various sources concerning the destruction of the Cities of the Plain that explicitly points to a planetary cause for the catastrophe. Velikovsky's contention would not even merit serious consideration were it not for the fact that legend persists in linking Abram's early life with certain irregularities of the planet Jupiter. Velikovsky was of the opinion that the thunderbolt which was said to have destroyed the Cities came from Jupiter. Concerning this incident, Tacitus wrote: "I am ready to allow, on the one hand, that cities, once famous, may have been consumed by fire from heaven..."(267) Thunderbolts are awesome phenomena ...
509. The Mesoamerican Record [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 4: (Fall 1974) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered IX" Home | Issue Contents The Mesoamerican Record William Mullen MYTH AND THE SCIENCE OF CATASTROPHISM Dr. Mullen is Assistant Professor of Classics, Boston University. Ever since the appearance of Worlds in Collision those who have taken it seriously have been aware that it offers the possibility, not merely of solving more and more problems by the methods of the established specializations, but further of restructuring knowledge as a whole. Dr. Velikovsky showed himself conscious of his challenge to the structure of knowledge when he set as epigraph to the book a question by the Roman polymath, Seneca: "Quota ...
510. On the Circularization of the Orbit of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... of a satellite to the Earth, the difficulty with the capture theory being the circularization problem. The extra difficulty which meets the catastrophist is that the time scale is so short. Some of the oldest traditions refer to a time when there was no Moon.(3 ) This indicates that the Moon was captured comparatively recently. Furthermore, Velikovsky has suggested that the Earth was once a satellite of Saturn. This seems to be the only way to explain certain parts of the oldest myths, but it leaves us with another circularization problem: how did the Earth get its circular orbit, after it had left the gravitational field of Saturn? In most of the circularization literature, ...
