... ' (posed by the Editor and four responses to it) on the entwined issues of the agents responsible for cometary catastrophes and their identification in the corpus of myth. The central problem arises from Clube and Napier's books and is summarised by Bernard thus: "If .. . the real agent of catastrophe was the comet Encke - and Venus was on a stable orbit as at present - how does one reconcile the myths (indicating a cometary and catastrophic Venus') with the postulated agent?" He ends by saying that: ". .. there seem to be too many problems in making a synthesis [of Clube and Napier's comet catastrophe scenario] with the mythological ...
192. Child of Saturn (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... One good example is the comparison of Athene's birth from Zeus with "Vishnu born of Shiva"(1 ) through which it is implied that, even in India, the Venerian planet was believed to have been "born" from the Jovian one. This, of course, necessitates the identification of Shiva as Jupiter and of Vishnu as Venus, both of which were proposed by Velikovsky.(2 ) Let me say, at once, that at no time did the ancients ever identify these two deities as either of the two planets with which we are concerned.(3 ) True, this, in itself, does not prove Velikovsky wrong. After all, the ...
193. For the Record... [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. II No. 1 (August 1976) Home | Issue Contents For the Record...New Light on Venus Soviet scientists recently disclosed new information about Venus, obtained from the Venera 9 and 10 landings of Oct., 1975. The findings were presented at a space research meeting (COSPAR) in Philadelphia. V. S. Avduevsky, deputy director of the Soviet Space Flight Control Center, announced that pictures taken of Venus' surface by Venera 9 revealed a rock-strewn terrain which cast distinctive and unanticipated shadows. As reported in The Philadelphia Inquirer of June 14, 1976, "the atmosphere at the surface [of Venus] was much ...
... The Age of Velikovsky Chapter IV: The Common Questions The preceding chapters have provided a basic review of Velikovsky's suggested reconstruction of the recent history of the solar system. Now we will look at questions that have been raised about this model. One of the first and most frequently asked questions concerns the association of the word comet with the planet Venus. COMETS AND EFFECTS In Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky repeatedly refers to the "Comet Venus". The question is often asked: Why did Velikovsky call Venus a comet when it could not, by definition, be a comet. There are really two answers to this the short form and the long form. The long form involves ...
195. Falls of Blood from Venus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 4 No 1 (Jul 1981) Home | Issue Contents Falls of Blood from Venus Bernard Newgrosh Dr Velikovsky has produced numerous citations from ancient sources to show how falls of a blood-like substance occurred when a "new" comet (later to become the planet Venus) came into catastrophic contact with the Earth:(1 ) the Manuscript Quiche of the Maya, the so-called Papyrus Ipuwer from Egypt and the Book of Exodus all record the fact that the water in the rivers was turned into "blood". In addition to these examples, Dr Velikovsky refers to the Greek myth of Zeus and Typhon, the Finnish epic Kalevala and the lore of ...
196. Mons Veneris [Journals] [Aeon]
... , it is hoped that it will serve as a launching pad for a radical reinterpretation of ancient cosmology in general. (Fig. 1) Cylinder seal impression showing Shamash rising over the twin-peaked mountain. Simply stated, it can be shown that descriptions of the celestial whereabouts and stereotypical behavior of the ancient sun-god (Utu, Shamash), Venus (Inanna, Ishtar), and Mars (Nergal), show the respective celestial bodies in positions which are impossible given the current arrangement of the Solar System. Such anomalies have long posed problems of interpretation for translators of the ancient texts, the latter of whom frequently resort to "emending" or "correcting" the texts in ...
197. Venus In The Folklore Of The Indians, Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Venus In The Folklore Of The Indians Primitive peoples often are bound by inflexible customs and beliefs that date back hundreds of generations. The traditions of many primitive peoples speak of a "lower sky" in the past, a "larger sun," a swifter movement of the sun across the firmament, a shorter day that became longer after the sun was arrested on its path. World conflagration is a frequent motif in folklore. According to the Indians of the Pacific coast of North America the "shooting star" and the "fire drill" set the world aflame. In the ...
198. Sagan's Appendices: A Quick Appendectomy [Journals] [Kronos]
... without employing "ergodic theory", Sagan told me that the proof would appear as an Appendix to a forthcoming paper by him based on his AAAS presentation. He mentioned that he had followed a published method, used by such scientists as Öpik and Urey, to obtain apparently reasonable statistics about meteoritic collisions with the Moon, Mars, and Venus; but in such calculations it is assumed (as an approximation) that the collisions were statistically independent events. Because the planetary motions inherently tend under their mutual gravitational attractions toward some sort of quasi periodicity, in which future near-misses can be causally related to past near-misses, this assumption is absolutely identical to the assumption that Newton's Law of ...
199. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... shall be saying much more, such ignorance does anything but inspire confidence in Patten's knowledge of mythology. Take the aegis mentioned above- the breast-plate (though sometimes shield) worn by both Zeus and Athena: how can Patten pass this off as the Martian cometary tail when he himself accepts Zeus and Athena as personifications of the planets Jupiter and Venus? What is amazing is that Heracles, whom the Greeks themselves identified as Mars, (20) is identified by Patten as a personification of the Earth. Thus he tells us that "Heracles is an archetype of the Earth, and indeed Earth' is derived etymologically from Hera, cognate with Heracles." (21) In ...
200. Velikovsky and the Problem of Planetary Identification [Journals] [Aeon]
... of Greek writers at face value; thus he accepted the identification of Apollo with the sun, Aphrodite with the Moon, Hera with the Earth, Ares with Mars, Hermes with Mercury, Kronos with Saturn, and Zeus with Jupiter. (2 ) The one exception, of course, was Athena, whom Velikovsky identified with the planet Venus, rather than with the Moon as per the majority of classical writers. Here we must concur with Velikovsky's judgment, although one can only shudder at the thought of what course Velikovsky's work might have taken had he retained the lunar identification of Athena. Extrapolating from the Greek sources, Velikovsky identified the ancient Egyptian gods with the planetary regents ...
