... not arbitrary. It emanated from the greatest of the planetary deities, who showered their unqualified blessings only upon those terrestrial vicars deemed worthy. Who were these planetary deities and why were they considered the dispensers of divine authority? With a choice of gods and a multitude of celestial bodies to choose from, why were Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus- with their respective representative divinities and festivals- the prime font of astral kingship? The Persian King of Kings When Cyrus the Great triumphantly entered Babylon in October 539 BC, he was welcomed with open arms and hailed as legitimate ruler by the populace within. This political achievement was due, in no small part, to the fact ...
292. Velikovsky: The Score of Success [Journals] [SIS Review]
... article A Record of Success' by Thomas Ferte (Pensee Special issue, Vol 2 No. 2, May 1972) listed 81 such documented and confirmed advance claims. Since then, the record has continued to grow. Velikovsky himself has said he did not expect to be so vindicated in his own lifetime. Thus Velikovsky had predicted that Venus must be very hot, indeed, incandescent. Mariner II found in 1962 the surface temperature to be 800 F which is above that of molten lead. Later probes showed it to be close to 1000 F. The much touted Greenhouse Effect' (which astronomer Carl Sagan has argued to explain this) had previously been calculated to give ...
293. Sagan's fifth problem: Chemistry & biology of the terrestrial planets (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... present day science has not solved completely. For a discussion of this see Ronald B. Parker's Inscrutable Earth, (NY 1984), Chapter 4. Hydrocarbons- carbohydrates Sagan states, "Velikovsky holds that the manna that fell from the skies in the Sinai peninsula was of cometary origin and therefore that there are carbohydrates on both Jupiter and Venus. On the other hand, he quotes copious sources for fire and naphtha falling from the skies, which he interprets as celestial petroleum ignited in the Earth's oxidizing atmosphere (pages 53 through 58). Because Velikovsky believes in the reality .. .of both .. .events, his book displays a sustained confusion of carbohydrates and ...
294. The Nature and Origin of Comets and the Evolution of Celestial Bodies (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Part I, KRONOS IX:I ) which contains the light elements up to approximately sulfur, as this is what is observed in comet tails of extreme length. That is, as the comet transforms into a hot young planet with a circularized orbit (to be discussed in detail), the original planetary atmosphere will already be present (Venus being a prime example). Another source is the chance grazing of the Sun, as in the case of the comets of 1882 and 1887; some grazing comets are actually seen to fluoresce after leaving the Sun, indicating the possible presence of a newly acquired atmosphere. Isaac Newton in his Principia includes a description of the Great Comet ...
295. The Saturn Thesis (Part 4) [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:1 (Nov 1997) Home | Issue Contents The Saturn Thesis (Part 4)An In-Depth Interview with David Talbott- (concluded)AEON: In our last discussion you were explaining the various mythological motifs associated with the displaced Radiant Venus and Mars. You mentioned that one item that this celestial apparition resembled was that of a peacock's tail. You then made the enigmatic statement that "to sit on the peacock-throne is to wear the radiating feathers as a crown." Could we start with an elaboration of this theme? Talbott: I also asked the question: "why do feathers adorning the head signify power and authority?"- knowing ...
296. The Eye Goddess [Journals] [Aeon]
... establish your [i .e ., Hathor's] ornament on the vertex of Re." [10] But if Hathor must be clearly distinguished from the Sun, with which celestial body should she be identified? A survey of the available evidence, both within Egypt and without, indicates that Hathor is to be identified with the planet Venus. In identifying the Egyptian goddess with their own Aphrodite, whom Plato and Aristotle had identified with Venus, [11] it would appear that the ancient Greeks knew what they were doing. Fig.2 : Hathor as cow wearing the menat, with the eight-pointed star, around her neck. (From the Papyrus of Ani. ...
297. Sun and Saturn by Morris Jastrow Jr [Articles]
... (l . 141) "Lu-Bat Sag-Uš, in the halo (20) we have an interesting illustration in a list of omens connected with Dilbat. Virolleaud, Ishtar Nr. VI, 10-11, we read : enuma (Mul) Dilbat ana (an) Ut it-hi šarru (21) i-gal-lil, i.e . "If Venus approaches Šamaš, the King will perish". To this omen a note is added: ana Lu-Bat Sag-Uš it-hi, i.e . "approaches Saturn". Clearly, Venus cannot be said to approach the sun and the purpose of the note is to call attention to the fact that Saturn is intended. Šamaš therefore in this ...
298. Ejections, Resonances, and Inversions [Journals] [Kronos]
... serializations - "Child of Saturn'(1 ) - seems to have given some of my readers a false impression. I first noticed this in the pages of the SIS Workshop where the editor added a footnote to one of Hugh Eggleton's papers - "Did Saturn Explode Twice?".(2 ) In reference to Eggleton's statement that "Venus was undoubtedly born of Jupiter," the editor appended the words: "But see Dwardu Cardona's Child of Saturn' . . . for an alternative origin of Venus."(3 ) This misconception next appeared in the CSISN where Ian Johnson, in "Saturn: Through a Velikovskian Glass Darkly", alluded to "those Velikovskians ...
299. The Dresden Codex and Velikovsky's Catastrophe Dates [Journals] [SIS Review]
... later discovered in humid tombs from being separated without destruction of the writing. In 1971 a fourth codex in reasonable condition appeared in the Grolier Library in New York. This Grolier Codex, now in Mexico where it belongs, has been available to scholars long enough to be authenticated, and to contribute the first perpetual calendar of the phases of Venus, but not long enough to be the subject of broad independent studies. The codices contain pictures, glyphs, and extensive numerical tables. The difficulty of deciphering the glyphs is compounded by several factors. Most hieroglyphic texts are short, and the context obscure. The ancient Maya language differed in some ways from the modern tongue, and ...
300. Sagan On The Run [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... He knew there had to be more. Later he found it was possible to look at the stars and make a living at it, and a famous career began. HAVE TO SETTLE FOR MARS [Sigh] A backdrop showing the nine planets filled the projection screen. The night's main lecture topic was Mars. Dr. Sagan lamented that Venus, our sister planet, was not a place that we could expect to visit anytime soon; so if we in this generation were to set foot on the soil of another planet, we would have to settle for Mars. He seemed tired, almost depressed, resigned to this as our only realistic prospect. "TOTALLY, TOTALLY ...
