... In one of those catchy doomsday articles imaginatively titled "Doomsday", the October 1975 issue of Science Digest noted "13 ways the earth could be destroyed." Item No. 6 on p. 62- Plummeting Planets'- referred specifically to Immanuel Velikovsky and summarized the whole of Worlds in Collision in approximately fifty words. Velikovsky "maintains that Venus originally was a comet cast off from Jupiter; that it made several close passes to the earth starting about 1500 B.C ., leaving plague and swarms of flies in its wake; that Venus actually collided with Mars, causing the latter planet to come near the earth in 686 B.C . [sic]." ...
212. Could Mars Have Been An Inner Planet? [Journals] [Pensee]
... 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered I" Home | Issue Contents Could Mars Have Been An Inner Planet?Lynn Rose Mariner IX photo showing swirls and folds which, according to NASA, resulted from, "the interplay between a number of mystifying geological processes". I will suggest a hypothesis concerning the orbit of Mars before its encounters with Venus and Earth. The hypothesis should be checked against both historical data and current theory and observation. The historical material relating to the early status of Mars is summarized by Velikovsky (Worlds in Collision, p. 244) as follows: Mars did not arouse any fears in the hearts of the ancient astrologers, and its name was seldom ...
213. HORUScope [Journals] [Horus]
... From: Horus Vol. 1 No. 3 (Fall 1985) Home | Issue Contents HORUScope to the Editor: 6/17/85 I was delighted at the emphasis on Venus in two of the articles in the Summer 1985 issue of HORUS. As an aerospace engineer with a long-standing interest in interpretations of ancient records in terms of the ancient astronaut hypothesis, I hope you may find the following comments of interest. With reference to the contribution "The Ching Hsing" by Charles Raspil, it may be that the "astronomical absurdities" referred to involving Venus rising in the West and setting in the East can be viewed in a rather different light if we are ...
214. Cuneiform Astronomical Records and Celestial Instability [Books] [de Grazia books]
... which must be understood as having a similar basis. Before Kugler many scholars had recognized that the myth of Phaeton refers to an event of physical nature, but they had tried to explain it as an ordinary recurring phenomenon. Some had maintained that it describes the fiery glow of particularly brilliant sunsets, and some, as the coming out of Venus as the morning star. Lowery has translated in full from the original German the pages in which Kugler lists these interpretations, in order to show how forceful Kugler was in scorning them as preposterous. This is a quotation from Lowery's translation: So simple, ordinary and peaceful a phenomenon as the evening sky could not provide the basis for ...
215. Calendars Revisited [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... case, the seasons were not in phase with the Nile. For example, the rise of the Nile (traditionally around the time of the summer solstice) would have begun some ten weeks or so before the inundation season ( ht). Velikovsky has suggested that the reason for this may be that the Egyptian calendar was geared ultimately to Venus, rather than to the tropical seasons and the Sun (( 365 x 8)/5 = 584 days, which is just over Venus' mean synodic period of 583.9140 days). (2 ) In earlier centuries, the interval between the rise of the Nile and the beginning of the inundation season would have been ...
216. CHZ and Solar System Stability [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 2 No 2 (1994) Home | Issue Contents CHZ and Solar System Stability Charles Ginenthal In 1984, C. Leroy Ellenberger raised the issue of the "Continuously Habitable Zone" (CHZ) as an argument against placing the Earth in an orbit closer to the Sun than that of Venus. (1 ) Ellenberger states: To appreciate the precarious position of the Earth today, it should be borne in mind that, without the atmosphere, the average temperature would be well below the freezing point of water, just as it is on the Moon. If Earth actually was so close to the Sun as 0.7 AU [( Astronomical ...

... only a few feet from the ground and "the sky was so close to the earth that men could not walk," "myriads of dragonflies with their wings severed the clouds confining the heavens to the earth."(83) At the close of the Middle Kingdom, the Egyptian standard bore the emblem of a fly. When Venus sprang out of Jupiter as a comet and flew very close to the earth, it became entangled in the embrace of the earth. The internal heat developed by the earth and the scorching gases of the comet were in themselves sufficient to make the vermin of the earth propagate at a very feverish rate. Some of the plagues, like ...
218. The Astronomical Basis of Egyptian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... should be attached to it. I myself do not consider that the arguments that I have put forward here are at all conclusive, especially since there is an alternative to the use of Sirius as Sothis. This alternative was put forward by Dr Velikovsky. In one part of his work he argues that Sothis was not Sirius but the planet Venus, and perhaps I could spend just a few minutes to show whether this is justifiable or not from the astronomical point of view. It would be presumptuous of me to talk about references in papyrus or anything like that - but, from the astronomical point of view, is it possible that Venus could have been used instead of Sirius ...

In the light of recent discoveries of radio waves from Jupiter and of the high surface temperature of Venus, we think it proper and just to make the following statement.
