... the red planet consistently associated with images of the World Pillar, the latter object being envisaged as the upholder of the ancient heavens? (3 ) Why were the greatest of ancient goddesses- Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, Isis, Anat, Aphrodite, etc.- invoked by the epithet Queen of Heaven and specifically identified with the planet Venus? (4 ) Why were those same goddesses associated with a destructive epiphany said to have threatened the very foundations of heaven and earth? (5 ) Only Velikovsky, among the hundreds of scholars who have explored these traditions, dared to ask the question: Is it possible to explain the myth of the goddess from the behavior of ...
322. L. Sprague de Camp: Anatomy of a Zetetic [Journals] [Kronos]
... a typical sophomoric ploy- bury what you haven't really read in a debunking sideshow of extraneous material. B) As to that part of the "review" which does pertain to Velikovsky, you are incorrect on all counts; and unlike you, I will now provide the relevant data to back up my statement. Point # 1: Venus did not skim "the earth about 1600 or 1500 B.C ." Velikovsky never indicated any interaction between these two celestial bodies prior to 1500 B.C . Indeed, subsequent discussions of the problem have refined the date to ca. 1450 B.C . Point # 2: Velikovsky never claimed that the "grazing contact ...
323. The Listing by Months: An Ancient Study of the Disappearances of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VIII No. 1 (Fall 1982) Home | Issue Contents The Listing by Months: An Ancient Study of the Disappearances of Venus Lynn E. Rose and Raymond C. Vaughan Copyright (C ) 1982 by Lynn E. Rose and Raymond C. Vaughan Of the many thousands of fragmentary clay tablets excavated at Nineveh, Kish, and other sites in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, roughly two dozen have been identified on which a particular type of cuneiform inscription appears, in either Late Assyrian or Neo-Babylonian script. These inscriptions are arranged as a series of entries, each of which reports a set of observations of "Ninsianna" or Venus. ...
324. Wild Motions, Angular Momentum and Other Problems [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and specificity. For instance, as it stands, the proposition "solves" the energy problem at the expense of the angular momentum problem that Rose and Vaughan solved in Pensée IVR VIII (1975). Moving Jupiter out one per cent increases its angular momentum by 23 geobasic units. This is over twice the total angular momentum possessed by Venus, Earth and Mars, the bodies which created the energy disposal problem. Whence cometh the additional angular momentum in "some resonance with a wild motion"? Bass' failure to address this elementary point does not augur well for secular catastrophism. Actually, the energy problem would be solved by moving Jupiter out only one half per cent ...

326. Editorial [Journals] [Horus]
... From: Horus Vol. 1 No. 2 (Summer 1985) Home | Issue Contents Editorial Dear Friends: We are happy to present HORUS in color. The editorial task does have its rewards in the unexpected discoveries that spring up out of the blue. In this issue, C. Bowen reviews some ancient traditions that suggest Venus was once a "battle star" specifically that military action was associated with the appearance of Venus as the Evening Star. A leading archaeoastronomer has noticed that an ancient Babylonian astronomical tablet and the Mayan Dresden Codex both indicate that Venus is invisible for 90 days from her disappearance as Morning Star to her reappearance as Evening Star. He remarked that ...

... great team- Sirius, from the hated Roman tongue instead of the beautiful Al Shira of the Desert; and Mira, unknown to him, or indeed to any one, till nearly sixteen centuries thereafter; while the unlikely Greek Antares was given to one of the victorious four. Errors as to the moon and planets are notoriously frequent, Venus and the new moon often being made to rise at sunset. Shakespeare, although contemporary with Galileo and Kepler, has many such; yet he seems to have known the action of the moon, his 12 governess of the floods," on the tides, ' for we find in Hamlet the moist star, upon whose influence Neptune's ...

... century) and from there to Italy, where he founded Rome (a city first built in the middle of the eighth century), implies that Troy was destroyed in the eighth or late in the ninth century. But for what purpose do I burden my present work with this question? It may seem that the two problems- how Venus changed its orbit to a circle, and how Mars changed its orbit so as to come in contact with the earth- are weighted with a third problem from a far-removed field and in itself complicated. And even if these matters have something in common, how can a problem with three unknowns be solved? We shall come closer to ...

[2 ] Sean Mewhinney replies: It's a pleasure to encounter a correspondent at last who has some respect for accuracy. Visibility of Venus Richard M. Smith, from Banning, California, writes: In his article on the planetary distances of the Saturnian configuration, Emilio Spedicato wrote: "It is observed that the visibility angle of Mars is greater than that of Venus, hence Venus would not be visible, falsifying a fundamental point of the polar model."

330. Views In Brief [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 5 No 1 (1982) Home | Issue Contents Views In Brief 1. From Hugh Eggleton of Kidlington, Oxford, we have had an alternative interpretation to that offered by Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision (part 1, chapter VIII, "The Birth of Venus") in which the latter says that Quetzalcoatl first appeared following a disaster in which the Earth had been overwhelmed by convulsions and a deluge. Mr Eggleton suspects that Velikovsky considered this catastrophe to be the Exodus event, since at the time of writing his book he probably favoured the view that Venus had only recently emerged from Jupiter. Instead, Mr Eggleton suggests that it is more ...
