... we last considered,(1 ) and that of Persia, which we shall now evaluate, in our continuing search for the progenitor of Venus. It should, of course, be remembered that, in his Worlds in Collision, Immanuel Velikovsky went against accepted belief by identifying this god, long assumed to have been a manifestation of the Sun,(2 ) as a personification of the planet Venus. Mitra, spelt without the "h ", is the chosen transliteration of the Sanskrit version of this deity's name, and this variant is commonly used when alluding to the Indic god. The Indological assumption that this god personified the Sun or, at least, an aspect ...
312. San Francisco, February 25, 1974 [Journals] [Pensee]
... were observations and determinations rather than theoretical suggestions. PETER HUBER, Professor of Mathematical Statistics, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland: Early Cuneiform Evidence for the Planet Venus. Professor Huber's objections to Worlds in Collision centered on three primary arguments: 1) "Venus was known shortly after -3000 and was in an orbit between the sun and the earth at least by - 1900." 2) "In the 16th century B.C . ( -1580 to -1560), the observed motion of Venus agrees satisfactorily with that calculated from the currently accepted orbital elements:" 3) Ancient Chinese eclipse records show that the Earth's rotation was not disturbed by catastrophes in ...
313. The Golden Age and Nova of Super Saturn [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Golden Age and Nova of Super Saturn The great god, Saturn, identified by many names, of many cultures, and often associated with the planet, which has been known in the most ancient times by that name, is the son of a god. In the ancient Buddhist liturgy he is called Ravisuta, or "Son of the Sun". Uranus, by his many names, does not have a father; but he is often referred to as the father of Saturn, Uranus is killed, castrated, defeated, retired, or dismissed, and usually it is the work of a Saturn Figure. The physical circumstances of his end are those that may be associated ...
314. Monitor. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a diameter of 550 miles. Two comets rather upset the dirty snowball image; comet Borelly, in addition to being inexplicably lopsided, has the darkest surface of any body found so far in the Solar System, far darker than most planets, indicating complex compounds of carbon and iron, and the comet which broke up as it neared the Sun in 2000 has proved to have consisted of a pile of rubble with very little ice. It is suggested that it formed close to Jupiter and was therefore of a type which could have brought water and organic compounds to the early Earth. It also seems that impacting comets were responsible for the dozen small moons discovered around Saturn: they ...
315. On Morrison: Some Final Remarks (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... is not a matter of theory or prejudice, but of fact- and it is absurd to ignore the absence of excess total radiated energy when seeking to understand the surface temperature. Here, Juergens' comparison to Jupiter (IV, 74) is way off base- Jupiter actually radiates about twice as much energy as it receives from the Sun, as was first indicated in 1969. Pioneers 10 and 11 demonstrated the imbalance more precisely, because they could see the night side of Jupiter, which cannot be observed from Earth. But we can see all sides of Venus, and we know there is no similar large energy imbalance there. The idea "that an atmosphere can ...
316. Ancient Calendars [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... to expect the flood after counting 12 new moons than by keeping a record of 360 days or more.) We should be similarly skeptical about vague administrative reasons'. The time to tax people is when the harvest has just come in; late harvest, late taxes. How can the new moon, far less an eclipse of the Sun, assist in that process? History is not well served by astronomical time-keeping as far as the count of years is concerned, since the seasons or days will do the job. Astronomical processes are generally cyclical. We must also beware of a circular argument here: before chronology, what prompted a king or priest to say, " ...
317. The Paleo-Saturnian System [Journals] [Aeon]
... three-plate split) as a candidate for the mythic World Mountain. [13] According to the "out-of-Africa" model (which I'm not entirely fond of), Homo sapiens sapiens did originate in the general vicinity of Ethiopia to spread across the Levant and North Africa. From what I have read so far, the traditions of the polar sun and perpetual darkness [14] seem to be concentrated around the Eastern hemisphere, and not the north as we know it today. (We do not, for instance, come across any Saturn myths from Mesoamerica, while Amazonian traditions speak of a perpetual day rather than a perpetual night.) In the Book of Genesis it is ...
318. William H. Stiebing, Jr., and Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... not statistical, gravitational, assumptions. Three comets will have several close encounters with a planet- not in a millennium, but in a period of 300 years! These facts indicate that not only is Velikovsky's multiple collision hypothesis plausible, it is also quite probable. Stiebing states, Furthermore, an object moving on an orbit between Jupiter and the Sun (as Velikovsky proposed for Venus) would likely be ejected from the solar system altogether (as the Pioneer 10 spacecraft was) due to a close encounter with Jupiter. (7 ) This is, of course, quite true, but it is based on an assumption that Stiebing has failed to consider. That assumption has to do ...

... aflame of fire; (15) And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. (16) And he held in his right hand seven stars: and out of his, mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. (17) And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead . . . [And he said,] Fear not; I am the first and the last; (18) I am he that liveth, and was [declared] dead; and behold, I am alive forevermore ...

... From: Chaos and Creation, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER NINE The Olympian Rulers "When Jupiter was first born, he defeated Saturn and the Sun by his brilliance," reports the Taitiriya Brahmanna [1 ]. Declares Jupiter-Marduk in a Babylonian epic poem: "When I stood up from my seat and let the flood break in, then the judgement of Earth and Heaven went out of joint.... The gods, which trembled, the stars of heaven-their position changed, and I did not bring them back."[2 ] The Age of Saturnia ended in the Biblical Deluge. The Age of Jovea (5700 to 4400 B ...
