... their Exodus by the sight of the Angel of Egypt darting through the air, "as he flew to the assistance of the people under his tutelage."[1 ] This tutelary angel was also called Uzza by the Jews [2 ], strangely, because the name is found among the ancient Arabian people in reference to the planet Venus [3 ]. It is to be identified with Seth, god of the Hyksos and the anti-god of the Egyptians, with Lucifer, and Phaeton-Typhon. Hence the "Egypt" referred to is already the conquered Egypt. Uzza is also Azazel, the devil to whom the Jews dispatched the scape-goat carrying their sins on the annual Day ...
... been awarded an honorary degree by the University of Lethbridge in 1974. Television documentaries about him had been shown in Canada, England, and Holland. In 1950 a planetarium feature based on Velikovsky's scenario had been canceled before its first showing. In 1970 the Reading School District Planetarium (Pennsylvania) ran such a program, entitled "Whence Cometh Venus," for nearly a month. In 1972 the Kendall Planetarium (Oregon) had a Velikovsky program, as did the Nobel Planetarium in Fort Worth, Texas. Symposia devoted to Velikovsky's work and its implications had been held at Lewis and Clark College, Oregon, in 1972; at Lethbridge and McMaster universities in 1974; under the ...

404. The Last Days of Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Effects," and it was written in form of a hypothesis and a challenge, positing that the astronomical record, the atmospherical records, the geosphere, the ecosphere, the anthroposphere, the historical records, wherever available, would show some significant disturbances 3500 years ago, at the time at which Velikovsky put the catastrophic near passage of cometary Venus, before she was emplaced in her orbit as a planet, which was also the time which Velikovsky assigned to the Exodus of the Hebrew from Egypt. The article which Alfred projected to write in collaboration was to be offered to Nature magazine. There was going to be, obviously, a lot to serious and difficult talk about it ...
405. A Challenge to the Integrity of Science? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and of the written records of many cultures, make much better sense if it is interpreted as evidence of a series of catastrophic close approaches to Earth by identifiable planetary bodies. Velikovsky reconstructed in detail from such historical evidence two such series of near contacts. The first he supposed to have occurred in the 15th century BC and to have involved Venus when it was a comet on an elliptical orbit. The second (and final) series he deduced to have happened in the 8th and early 7th centuries BC and to have involved Mars. By implication there were earlier series of cataclysms, at least one of which seems to have involved Jupiter, the main deity of antiquity. From ...
406. Numerical Analysis of Planetary Distances in a Polar Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... of the planets with the Sun during their solar revolution. The following are the basic elements of the polar model: The Sun was not visible (this should be understood as from that part of Earth inhabited by man). Saturn was the dominant body in the sky. It loomed large and its position in the sky appeared fixed. Venus appeared centered in the middle of Saturn. It was thus seen by the ancients as the eye of Saturn. Mars appeared centered in the middle of Venus, but with variable angular size. It appeared dark red in colour and was widely referred to as the pupil of the eye. No other planets, in particular Jupiter, appear ...
407. Response to Slabinski [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon III:6 (Dec 1994) Home | Issue Contents Response to Slabinski Robert Grubaugh The principal feature of the proposed Polar Configuration model as described in AEON III:3 is that the line-up or "stack" of planets, Saturn, Venus, Mars, and Earth orbit the planet Jupiter synchronously with Jupiter's orbit around the Sun. The distances between the planets and the distance between Jupiter and the Sun were calculated on the basis of equilibrium of the gravitational and "centrifugal" forces consistent with the selected synchronous condition. In the mathematically-defined configuration, the angular velocity of each of the planets revolving in the Jovian system is equal, so they do not depart ...
408. The Terrible Ones, Part 2 Mars Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Terrible Ones Venus had a tail, considerably shortened since the time it was a comet, but still long enough to give the impression of a hanging flame, or smoke, or attached hair. When Mars clashed with Venus, asteroids,1 meteorites, and gases were torn -from this trai ling part, and began a semi-independent existence, some following the orbit of Mars, some other paths. These swarms of meteorites with their gaseous appendages were newborn comets; flying in bands and taking various shapes, they made an uncanny impression. Those which followed Mars closely looked like a ...

... the great ones of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries searched through classical authors of antiquity for their great discoveries. Did not Copernicus strike out the name of Aristarchus of Samos from the introduction to De Revolutionibus before he signed imprimatur on his work? Did not Tycho Brahe find the compromising theory of the Sun revolving around the Earth- but Mercury and Venus circling around the Sun- in Heracleides of Pontus, yet announce it as his own? Did not Galileo read of the equal velocity of heavy and light falling bodies in Lucretius; did not Newton read in Plutarch of the Moon removed from the Earth by fifty-six terrestrial radii and impelled by gravitation to circle around the Earth, the basic ...
410. Did Venus As A Protoplanet Ever Look Like A "Comet"? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 3 No 4 (Apr 1981) Home | Issue Contents Did Venus As A Protoplanet Ever Look Like A "Comet"?Chris Marx Velikovsky, in his WORLDS IN COLLISION and elsewhere, usually calls Venus a "comet", certainly from the time of her birth from Jupiter until the great catastrophe about -1450. At that time, presumably thousands of years after eruption from Jupiter, the peoples of the world saw two deities: the light-god, according to Velikovsky the "head" of the "comet" and the serpent, its "tail". But considering the evolution the protoplanet must have undergone since its eruption, the term " ...
