... spectacular formation of the primeval land of the gods- a crescent-enclosure housing the ancient sun god and the denizens of his celestial city. And the deluge was- as a myth- the story of the overwhelming of that celestial land in a "world-destroying" cataclysm. Alongside these elementary principles of the theory must be included: The presence of Venus as a spiraling comet- the old sun god's beard or sidelock; the position of the warrior-hero Mars at the apex of the polar column; the original position of the planet Jupiter behind Saturn. These essential ideas, to which numerous details must be added, constitute the foundation of an original and now-comprehensive theory of myth. It should ...
342. Krupp And Velikovsky [Journals] [Kronos]
... not for what he has written- for Krupp has patently not read the relevant works- but for what Krupp thinks he has written. Krupp's interpretation is presumably based on the hoary canards foisted on Worlds in Collision since its publication. His arguments against Velikovsky's thesis can be grouped into two parts: Those dealing with the nature of comets (Venus included) and those dealing with the effects of disturbances in the Earth's motion. The first section is positively banal. By comparison, similar asinine attempts by Asimov, Gardner, et al. appear as models of accurate scholarship. The other section at least has the merit of introducing some original arguments which may, however, lead some ...

344. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Following this, Zeus transformed Phaethon's mourning sisters, the Heliadea, into trees. The trees in their mourning wept from time to time; their resinous tears hardening into amber. We can recognise here two cosmogonic agents described in "Worlds in Collision", and we can identity them. Zeus is the planet Jupiter, and the comet Venus is the disobedient Phaethon. Velikovsky mentions that "Phaethon" in Greek means "the blazing one" (see Chap.7 of W in C) and pursues the matter of how much chaos Phaethon caused on Earth. Much of the amber used by the ancient Mediterranean civilisations was actually collected from North Sea beaches on to which the ...
345. Sagan vs. Sagan [Journals] [Kronos]
... encounter between the Earth and a comet. In the text (pp. 62-63), Sagan writes: "The calculation is performed in Appendix 1, where we see that a single comet' with aphelion (far point from the sun) near the orbit of Jupiter and perihelion (near point to the sun) inside the orbit of Venus should take at least thirty million years before it impacts the Earth [and therefore] the odds against it in any given millennium are thirty thousand to one. But Velikovsky has (see, e.g ., page 388) not one but five or six near collisions.... If the probabilities are independent, then ...
346. The Mystery Of The Pleiades [Journals] [Kronos]
... these three are constellations, whereas actually they were visible planets moving across the constellation areas"(10) When it came to identifying these planets, however, Patten, et al. differed considerably from Velikovsky. "Our supposition is that Arcturus [Aish] was Mars, Orion [Khesil] was Jupiter, Pleiades [Khima] was Venus.."(11) Our refutation of Patten et al. 's identifications has recently been anticipated by Martin Sieff. "Writing from a fundamentalist stance, they [Patten et al.] use a good deal of Biblical material... [but] pay scant attention to the testimony of other ancient peoples in myth ...
347. The Hamon-Gabriel-Mars Connection (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... associations leading up to Is.33:3 , of course, which prompted the exasperation evident in VSI, p. 12. (4 ) In VS4 I do deal in some detail with the characters of both Michael and Gabriel (showing that for the most part they are distinctly non-planetary) and with the direct references to the planets Venus and Mars in both the Talmud and the Midrash Rabbah (showing that in no case is either planet ever associated with Velikovskian catastrophe: I follow the same sort of tack re Ginzberg on the planets in VSI, pp. 45-6). On many points I agree with Mr. Cardona, though of course I go further and reject ...
348. The Inconstant Heavens [Books] [de Grazia books]
... us back to the arguments of William Gilbert (1544-1603) and Johann Kepler (1571-1630)[1 ]. The newness of the revolution is evinced by the Einstein-Velikovsky correspondence wherein the former soon accepted as tenable the hypothesis of global catastrophes and, though originally quite opposed, at last became sympathetic even to the hypothesis of a recent origin of Venus as a planet. However, he persistently rebutted to the end of his life all argument that electricity and magnetism affect the motions of heavenly bodies. Whereas astronomers are perplexed at the implication of the new picture of the universe as derived from the space probes, Velikovsky has been clear from the very beginning. In one of the first ...
349. One Who Read And One Who Didn't. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... I offer the following implication of my theory for testing: The atmosphere of the planet Mars consists mainly of argon and neon." Two days later, on April 17, I wrote again asking for another test: "May I offer another test which bears directly upon my reconstruction of historical cosmology? It is my conclusion that the planet Venus abounds in naphtha and its gases; therefore bands of gaseous hydrocarbon should be found in the absorption spectrum of Venus." To have these investigations made was actually the purpose of my seeing Shapley and asking him to read my manuscript. For weeks I heard nothing. As I had agreed to with Shapley, I telephoned Thorndike, asking ...

... portrayed both in the Amarna letters and in I Kings 17 to II Kings 8 (periods synchronized by Velikovsky) was plagued by famine and pestilence as well as endemic warfare. Moreover the biblical account of Elijah's ascension has clear catastrophic associations.[10] Some time ago I pointed out the strong likelihood of Elijah's career involving a period of Venus catastrophes.[11] This was in contrast with Gammon, who suggests that earlier Mars catastrophes were the cause.[12] Jewish legend contains hints that the "Fire from Heaven" incident on Mount Carmel occurred at a Passover[13]- the very season when the Earth would have crossed the debris-strewn orbital path of the ...
