... Father? One of the possible meanings for Atum ( 'Itmw) is "He who is no longer present" (see SISR II:2 . 38, fn.). The proposed planet (which fills a gap left by the present configuration in the sequence prescribed by Bode's Law) might also supply a source for a long-period Venus later encountering Jupiter, as proposed by KEISTER and HAMILTON (see SISR III:2 . 45ff., and Forum in this issue): Andrew Hamilton's ruminations that Venus might in fact be the former core of the asteroid-belt planet were enthusiastically seconded by Dr ROBERT W. Bass at Glasgow in Spring of last year. However, as ...
422. 'Worlds in Collision' After Heinsohn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the other two remained fragmentary, as the posthumous publication of his manuscripts has revealed. His revision of ancient chronology in the Ages in Chaos series never succeeded in forging a complete chain of events for the periods and cultures it addressed and his manuscripts Saturn and the Flood and Jupiter of the Thunderbolt present only thin evidence for moving back from the Venus/Exodus Event to the Saturn/Flood Event which he posited as its first cause'. It has been left to others to show the fruitfulness of his first and last assumptions and much of the important work since his death has been done in these two areas. None, in my view, has been more crucial in moving ...
423. Pluto's Rank Again - Needs Changing... [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... apparently been subject to change as far back as we can read. This factor was the source of one of Immanual Velikovsky's major errors. He assumed continuity of nouns or more precisely he thought philologists had correctly identified the various ancient names for planets. Where Kugler (whose various works are referenced by Velikovsky) saw a sunlike-meteor in association with Venus, Velikovsky saw "Comet Venus." Both researchers fell victim to what this author calls the "bibbu boo-boo." There is considerable reason to suspect that the majority of our planet's namesakes were comets- probably of the Encke family. For instance, we can read from W.M . O'Neil (1975): "The ...
424. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... taken seriously and is tantamount to believing in a flat or hollow Earth. Ironically, before Warlow's article appeared, the inversion of the Earth was shown to be practically impossible by James N. Hanson in CRSQ 15 (1978), pp. 55-68, 72, and at the April 1978 Glasgow Conference R. W. Bass reported that Venus, during a near-collision inside the Moon's orbit, could tilt Earth no more than 10 even taking advantage of the tidal bulge raised by the encounter (SISR VI [1982], p. 74). Field is wrong when he indicates that the Earth could be turned over by a torque exerted on the equatorial bulge. Such a ...
425. A Personal Report on, and Irreverent Look at, the World Conference 'Planetary Violence in Human History' Portland, Oregon, January 3-5, 1997 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... unique event - there were probably at least 3 events. The total mass of currently known comets and asteroids is no larger than our Moon. From his remarks I think he postulates that the planet in the Asteroid Belt was large and bright, or became a huge fireball when it exploded, and that a lot of the mythology attributed to Venus needs to be re-attributed to it. He placed this about 3.2 Myrs ago and seems to postulate an early culture then (though it is not clear to me where) which created the Face on Mars' and other features (no escaping it!) and later came to Earth, may have created present humans and left ...
426. Mars Gods of the New World [Journals] [Aeon]
... serious students of Mesoamerican culture that there was an intimate relationship between astronomical knowledge, the calendar, and religious beliefs and rituals." (5 ) Susan Milbrath offered a similar opinion: "A number of scholars agree that the fundamental nature of the ancient Mesoamerican pantheon is astronomical." (6 ) Numerous studies have documented the importance of Venus to the Maya. Floyd Lounsbury has shown that the ancient Maya regulated various aspects of their calendar and certain ritual practices around the movements of the planet Venus. (7 ) Anthony Aveni, Michael Closs, and others, have shown that Maya architecture bears the distinctive mark of a long-time preoccupation with the observation of Venus. (8 ...
427. Interdisciplinary Indiscipline [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in Alfred de Grazia's book of that title. Much later, around 1972, I read Worlds in Collision [1 ]. In a general way Velikovsky's research was impressive: it was clearly true that ancient authors believed there had been great astronomical catastrophes, and often gave fascinatingly interlocking accounts. Nevertheless, Velikovsky's detailed conclusions - that the planet Venus, as an Earth-grazing super-comet, had caused these disasters - failed to convince. The logic was never tight enough. I was curious to discover whether informed criticism had suggested a viable compromise, fitting the safest of his deductions into a more credible scenario [2 ]. What I actually found in the critics was a lot of very ...
428. Corneille à l'Orange and Other Canards [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... opportunity to retract an argument of mine which appeared in SISR III:4 , p. 85, and SISR IV:4 , p. 84. Despite the several errors that Keister and Hamilton made in their paper(1 ) and defence,(2 ) they were correct that a Lyttleton-type fissioning is irrelevant to the purported origin of Venus from Jupiter. I now realize after studying O'Keefe's work on the origin of the Moon by the fission of proto-Earth,(3 ) that once a dense core forms in a rotating body it would no longer participate in a fissioning such as that contemplated by Lyttleton and O'Keefe. Clearly, if Venus originated from a Jovian planet by fission ...
429. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 3 No 1 (Jul 1980) Home | Issue Contents Letters Names for Venus Dear Sir, With 93% of the surface of Venus now mapped by Pioneer Venus I radar, astronomers are busying themselves giving names to the identified features. The policy decision of the Working Group on Planetary Nomenclature of the International Astronomical Union regarding names for Venus shows a rare feel for pan-terrestrial tradition. Although the NASA press release supplying this information ( NASA News May 1980) mentions that Aphrodite was "known to the Romans as Venus" - thus suggesting a reason for the choice of nomenclature, by the "coincidence" of the same name being borne by both ...
430. Celestial Rings [Journals] [Aeon]
... presentation. First, on page 27, Zemel uses the terms "planetrings" and "moonrings." Since, as described, these are not rings, wouldn't it have been preferable to allude to them as "ring-planets" and "ring-moons"? On pages 28 and 29, I cannot tell whether Zemel's explanation re the circularization of Venus' orbit relates to the density of the former solar ring or the assumption of a greater antiquity for Venus (as a planet) than Immanuel Velikovsky was willing to grant. On page 29, Jupiter's satellites numbered five through twelve are left nameless. Was this merely a typographical error? On page 30, I concur with Zemel's reservations ...
