... | Issue Contents On The Origin Of Tektites Dwardu Cardona In a previous article, "Tektites and China's Dragon,"(1 ) I offered some corroborative evidence in support of the notion that tektites might owe their origin to meteoric impacts and/or interplanetary discharges which took place on the Moon during some of the cosmic catastrophes described by Immanuel Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision. Needless to say, the belief in the lunar origin of tektites did not originate with me. Dr. Dean Chapman, aerodynamics specialist at Ames Research Center, among others, had long held that tektites were lunar fragments which had been hurled into space during "meteoric collisions with the moon."(2 ...
542. On "The Year -687": A Postscript (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... more attention to Legge's notes on these dates. Newton(2 ) also discusses the physical consequences of Velikovsky's claim that the geographic poles suddenly shifted by about 20 within historical times.(2a) I would like to offer a few further comments on this subject here. After discussing the distribution of the ice sheet during the last glaciation, Velikovsky wrote: The Brahman charts of the sky show a large difference from what modern astronomers would expect to find. Calcutta being removed 180 longitude from Baffin Land [sic], the Brahman charts would rather correspond to a position of the earth in which the axis would pierce the globe at Baffin Land, close to the present magnetic pole ...
543. Letters [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 2 No 3: (Fall 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered II" Home | Issue Contents Letters FORUM Scientific Revolution To The Editor: The May, 1972, issue of Pensée has just come to my desk, somewhat round about. Congratulations on your treatment of Velikovsky, as well as his three articles. In the History of Physics courses which I taught (1962-69), I used Velikovsky as an example of a still all too prevalent practice in scientific circles: to downgrade, to ridicule any idea or person who does not fit into what has been termed "Normal Science." My personal heresy is to believe that we are now ...

Schadewald for their help in tracking down some of the more awkward sources; Eric Crew, Malcolm Lowery and Brian Moore of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies (SIS), for their ongoing correspondence on all aspects of the Velikovsky debate; and various publishers and copyright holders for permission to quote extensively from their publications : Mrs W.W .Scheil for permission to quote from D.D .Luckenbill's "Ancient Records of Assyria and Babylonia" in Section 3; Chicago University Press for permission to quote from J.H .Breasted's "Ancient Records of Egypt ...
545. The Lion Gate at Mycenae [Journals] [Pensee]

Greenberg A Study in Art-Historical Contradictions Mr. Greenberg is assistant professor of art history and history, Moore College of Art (Philadelphia). The paper published here was first read at the Velikovsky Symposium, Lewis and Clark College, (Portland, Oregon), August 17, 1972.

546. The Moon [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. II No. 1 (August 1976) Home | Issue Contents The Moon C. J. Ransom [* This article is a section from Dr. Ransom's forthcoming book, The Age of Velikovsky. For further details, see The Book Case elsewhere in this issue.] The Moon, because of its proximity to the Earth, was also involved in the catastrophic events of the past as described by Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision. The observations of the ancients suggest that the Moon was affected by the passages of both Venus and Mars. Velikovsky, believing that he had reconstructed an accurate account of what the ancients actually observed, made a number ...
547. "Let Them Throw The Brick". File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... From "Stargazers and Gravediggers" © 1983 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents "Let Them Throw The Brick"FROM AUGUST 1942 until the spring of 1952, almost ten years, Professor Robert H. Pfeiffer followed the development and the fate of my reconstruction of ancient history, Ages in Chaos. He read its first draft and, as it encompassed ever larger areas, the additional chapters; he was unfailingly benevolent to me and my work through all those years. Repeatedly he expressed the wish to see my work published so that his students at Harvard and Boston universities might deliberate on its merits, taking sides and analyzing it in an earnest endeavor to find ...
548. "Papyrus Ipuwer" and Worlds in Collision [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Forrest B.A . (Oxon) is a mathematician and teacher and a well known investigator and critic of "fringe science". He has written articles for the Ley Hunter, The Skeptical Inquirer, New Scientist, Stonehenge Viewpoint and the Fortean Times. Over the last few years he has researched and published a privately produced series on Velikovsky and His Sources, of which the above article is an extract. Velikovsky's catastrophist interpretation of the "Papyrus Ipuwer" is unwarranted - the Papyrus gives no hint of an extraterrestrial commotion and the upheaval described in the text is more likely to have been social rather than cosmic. Several times in Worlds in Collision Velikovsky refers to the so-called ...

... Sun. Jupiter and the Sun were the original twin stars of our solar system, other bodies being captured one by one at later dates.* [* Cf. H. Tresman and B. O'Gheogan, "The Primordial Light?", SISR II:2 (Dec. 1977), pp. 35ff.; I. Velikovsky, "On Saturn and the Flood", KRONOS V: 1 (Fall 1979), p. 3. - LMG] 6) gravity is not the sole force governing the cosmos. Electrical effects generally produce only subtle effects, but occasionally they may dominate the workings of the solar system. 7) major Earth altering events ...
550. Forget Amnesia [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon VI:3 (Nov 2002) Home | Issue Contents Forget Amnesia Henry Zemel Are we "mankind in amnesia," as Immanuel Velikovsky proposed? If global catastrophes indeed occurred in historic times, is it conceivable that these horrific events were wiped from human memory? Velikovsky found a satisfying answer in Freud's work on trauma. Freud had discovered that an individual frightened by a series of incidents may forget the whole episode, i.e ., the memory is repressed. Likewise, Velikovsky reasoned, catastrophic cosmic events so terrified humanity that subsequent generations repressed memory of the disasters. Contemporary practicing psychiatrists accept Freud's idea of trauma-induced amnesia- at least the ones I ...
