... WARRING GODDESS ATHENA By Dave Talbott (dtalbott@teleport.com) As a follow-up to the previous discussion of James Fitton, I shall attempt to illustrate a principle of methodology.. How does one evaluate the explanatory power of the Saturn theory in the concrete terms we have suggested? Since Fitton criticized Velikovsky for claiming the Greek Athena was Venus, I will employ this goddess as our test case, though any well-documented goddess figure could be approached in the same way. Our reference for now is a "snapshot" of the Saturnian configuration on the Kronia Communications website. Go to the page on the "Saturn theory" at- www.kronia.com This snapshot resolves ...
362. Spatters And Planetary Iconography [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... panel contains a trism and three spatters. Are the spatters planets, or did a conjunction of at least two planets produce a third deity, the winged central apparition? The bottom panel shows six figures, with four deities in this scenario of six. Two of them, Hermes and Aphrodite, can be identified with the planets Mercury and Venus, but with which celestial bodies or planets can Hera and Athena be identified? For now, we must be satisfied to have established the presence of spatters during a celestial anomaly. Figure 63 Figure 64 Figure 65 Figure 63 is my depiction of a scene from a Boeotian plate. It is known as the "Lady of the Beasts ...
363. The Twin Tilts of the Spin Axes of Mars and Earth [Articles]
... .5 % more solar radiation than does the modern orbit of the Earth, at 92,959,000 miles. (Energy varies with the square of the distance.) In period, the old Earth orbit was 361 days compared to the modern period, 365.256 days. Figure 1 also shows the "Second Orbit of Venus", one slightly farther out, having about 0.6 % more energy than the modern orbit of Venus. Figure 1 also shows the "Third Orbit of Mars." That orbit crossed in two locations each, the orbits of both Venus and the Earth. Since the planets are co-planar, when Mars and the other planet ...
... , about precisely what are we asking whether Velikovsky is right? Second, with what degree of certainty do we wish to be able to say "Yes" or "No"? Not many who have debated about Velikovsky have analyzed the question, what exactly are Velikovsky's contentions? At first blush, the answer might seem obvious- that Venus 85 86 Beyond Velikovsky came, as a comet, from Jupiter; caused catastrophes on earth about i 500 s.c .; and so on- Velikovsky's account of celestial events, in other words. But Velikovsky also contends that the Exodus occurred during a great natural catastrophe, one of the encounters of earth with Venus. If ...
365. How Stable Is the Solar System? [Journals] [Pensee]
... "original ideas" are briefly surveyed in the following. They are mentioned to show that scientific thought, no longer restricted by an assumption that no changes have occurred in the solar system since very early in its history, is leading investigators to conclusions similar to Velikovsky's, which were deduced from analyzing data available in 1950. Velikovsky contended that Venus originated as a protoplanet in a disruption of Jupiter. The origin of comets from Jupiter has been actively investigated by the Russians. In 1960 W. H. McCrea, then president of the Royal Astronomical Society, in an analysis of the nebular theory of the origin of the solar system, calculated that no planets could have originated inside ...
366. Venus's Greenhouse: Premature Sufficiency? [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 4 (Summer 1981) Home | Issue Contents Venus's Greenhouse: Premature Sufficiency?C. Leroy Ellenberger The last two issues of KRONOS have reported evidence for a significant internal heat source on Venus supplementing the greenhouse effect. The update in KRONOS VI:3 (pp. 96-7) closed with a caveat regarding premature claims for the sufficiency of the greenhouse effect. Coincident with its writing, NASA issued News Release No. 8146 (April 6, 1981) entitled "Searing Venus Surface Heat Is Caused By Greenhouse Effect". The opening sentence declared: "Using NASA's PIONEER-Venus spacecraft data, a team of scientists has virtually proved that ...
367. Dance of the Planets [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2000:1 (May 2000) Home | Issue Contents Dance of the Planets www.danceoftheplanets.com Dance of the Planets by Angiras is a new book that reveals the True Message which has lain hidden in the Sacred Myths of all cultures for 6000 Years - relating that Venus and Mars repeatedly came close to the Earth for 3000 years. Volume 1: The Earth (ISBN: 0-7414-0070-7 ©1996): puts forth a new scenario detailing recent planetary chaos in the solar system. The Velikovsky/Angiras (V /A ) scenario postulates a long series of close interactions between Venus, Mars and the Earth, which profoundly affected mankind for ...
368. The Origin Of The Moon [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... what one would expect in the case of a system which is rotating steadily. The density of the Moon, 3.4 , is readily explained if the Moon material is partly Earth's mantle and partly crust. (5 ) Gaskell also states that [t ]he Venus-Mercury system could be similar to that of the Earth and Mercury. Venus and Mercury both have densities which approximate that of the Earth, and, therefore, that of the primeval solid building matter of the solar system. However, Venus is closer to the Sun than is the Earth and would experience a stronger attractive pull when it became molten through the radioactive action of Al26. The separation of Mercury [ ...

... "fair hearing" or an objective assessment. He repeats his former prejudice: ". .. Ages in Chaos is a work that will be studied only by the most devoted followers; others will find it almost unreadable". In a curious non sequitur, he gives as "a good example" Velikovsky's interpretation of the so-called "Venus Tablets of Ammizaduga", showing how the Venus orbit of those days was much different from the present. He tells how Peter Huber attempted to refute this claim at the AAAS meeting in 1974, and how he was comprehensively debunked in this attempt by Lynn Rose and Raymond Vaughan. Another concession to Velikovsky is his correct prediction of powerful ...
370. Collisions and Upheavals [Journals] [Pensee]
... Their traditions recalled that when old epochs dissolved, the new "age" or "sun" was marked by different celestial paths. Astronomers and seers diligently watched for any change which might augur approaching destruction and the end of an age. Prior to the second millennium B.C . ancient Hindu records spoke of four visible planets, excluding Venus. Babylonians, meticulous in their observations, likewise failed to notice Venus. But some time before 1500 B.C . Jupiter, for centuries chief among the deities, shattered the serenity of the skies. A brilliant, fiery object, expelled from that planet, entered upon a long, elliptical orbit around the sun. The feared ...
