... , near Jerusalem, is a ceremonial iron trident dated to the 11th century BC. North American Cosmology Everything is Connected, online essay, Ed Grondine, Sep. 00 Native Americans thought of space as a cold, dark lake and a rich association of snakes and serpents with the sky leads to their having a water aspect, like Chinese dragons. Grondine suggests asteroids were seen as horned snakes, the horns being very hard and of great value. Spitting snakes are comets and lightning, associated with cometary impact, is a smaller snake. Thunderbirds were protectors who lived on a great mountain in the sky and were named after the noise they produced while defeating the snakes. They ...

... Flames? (BBC Radio 4, 2.2 .05.) A horse depicted in the Dunhuang Caves in north-west China is described as winged, but the wings' look distinctly like flames. The horse also appears to have ears', which look more like horns. There seems to be a narrow line between mythical horses and dragons. Take Heed of Your Ancestral Tales (Scientific American, March 2005, p. 10) During last year's tsunami, a group of aboriginals on the Andaman Islands all survived by running to high ground as soon as they felt the initial earthquake. Their legends say that when the earth shakes the sea will rise up onto the land ...
493. New Scenarios for Solar System Evolution [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... when the Golden Age collapsed and the heavens fell out of control. The specific forms of the catastrophe vary. A rain of fire and gravel, as in the cataclysms of Ragnarok. A great deluge. The death or displacement of a primeval sun. A cloud of chaos demons enshrouding the world in darkness. Or the spiraling serpent or dragon, whose attack throws the heavens into chaos. But where are the events in our familiar world that can illuminate the repeated stories? A comparative approach will establish that the subject is not a local disaster. Specifically, this archetypal catastrophe- an event whose re-occurrence ancient races feared above all else- was that which brought the Golden Age ...

... changing the weather for several years' [29]; he tentatively identifies Krakatoa as the culprit. Baillie, on the other hand, claims that no volcano yet known can produce anything like the required volume of gases to create the observed effects. Although Baillie favours a Clube, Napier and Bailey' cometary scenario, with attendant archangels, dragons in ponds and other familiar archetypes, he sees Santorini as a participant in the 1628 mayhem and argues for this date for its eruption, against the inconclusive result of the 1989 Third Santorini conference. Vulcanologists now realise that not only are they unable to date eruptions or their effects very well, they cannot tell how much sulphur they produce ...

... serpent, presented as the emanation or externalized soul of the sun god. It was not without reason that the enclosing serpent became a universal hieroglyph for the mother goddess in Egypt. In the scenario I shall present, there is a critical juncture at which the beard, sidelock, or feather becomes a raging monster, a fiery serpent or dragon threatening to destroy the world. And the images involved are unmistakably cometary. (57) In the Coffin Texts and Book of the Dead the departed eye of the sun becomes a raging serpent, and the same texts speak of the raised or extended "hair" of the angry eye. In other words, the texts simply place ...

... stones. These stones in pristine times were earth, and the shells and oysters lived in water. Subsequently all was inverted, things from the bottom came to the top, and the soft became hard. A careful consideration of this fact leads to far reaching conclusions. In a similar way it is easy to see how some legends of dragons and giants could have come from the discovery of fossil bones, In conclusion: On WIC p.110, V writes: "When we summarise what has been told about the time of Yahou, we have the following data: the sun did not set for a number of days, the forests were set on fire, vermin ...
... in any way denote our physical geoid for the archaics. 62 It applies to the band of the zodiac, two dozen degrees right and left of the ecliptic, to the tracks of the "true inhabitants" of this world, namely, the planets. It comprises their various oscillations and curlicues from their courses, and also the "dragon," well known from very early times, which causes eclipses by swallowing the sun and moon. On the zodiacal band, there are four essential points which dominate the four seasons of the year. They are, in fact, in church liturgy the quatuor tempora marked with special abstinences. They correspond to the two solstices and the ...

Velikovsky was now using the psychoanalytic weapon his intellectual father had forged against his own creator, against Freud himself...Velikovsky went further. The initial aim of his research finally to emerge over twenty years later as Oedipus and Akhnaton, was to kill the Freudian father dragon in its lair. Akhnaton, the first monotheist in history, stood revealed as Oedipus. Freud's arch-saint turns out also to be his arch-sinner...Velikovsky dedicated Ages in Chaos to his physical father, but sought to erase the name of Freud, his intellectual father, with his Oedipus and Akhnaton. At the same time, ...
... is not given as an historical account. However, the prophet Jeremiah prophesied of its destruction in these words: (Footnote 5: Jer. 49:28.) Concerning Kedar and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the Lord .. .. And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and desolation forever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it. ' We may thus sum up the known history of Hazor as far as incidents which might be verified by archaeological observation.
