... reality, a description of two great catastrophes blended into one and rendered in the only terminology which the survivors were able to use? A thorough examination of the mythologies of all nations for similar accounts in reference to the various local gods of war may well provide fruitful supports for Velikovsky's hypotheses in regard to the activities of both Venus and the red planet.(18) REFERENCES AND NOTES 1.

33. Velikovsky's Legacy [Articles]
... and volatile relationship between the two planets. Here, too, there can be little doubt but that Velikovsky was on the right track, although his understanding and chronology of the events involving the respective planets requires substantial revision. If one looks at the earliest astronomical traditions surrounding the planet Mars- those from ancient Babylon- it will be found that the red planet is typically accorded an especially malevolent disposition, being conceived of as an agent of war, pestilence, disaster, discord, death, insurrection and eclipses of the sun. The mythology which came to surround the various gods identified with Mars-Nergal and Erra, for example-reflects these ominous characteristics. Thus it is that, in the Poem of ...
34. The Hero's Garment [Journals] [Aeon]
... , when these associations are obscure or not apparent, the Hero is nevertheless associated with lightning in a direct way. Some of the most ancient and central of these Heroes are identified with the planet Mars and it is strongly suspected that the complex of the mythical Hero as a whole may have originally referred to the forms and motions of the red planet. As I intend to demonstrate in a future article, a caveat is called for here. In terms of methodology, it would seem eclectic and unwarranted on one hand to understand the Hero's identification with lions, wolves, and birds as symbols, while, on the other hand, to take his identification as the planet Mars ...
35. Venus, Mars ... and Saturn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... be identified with it as well. The planet Mars is everywhere regarded as male and intimately associated with war, disaster and pestilence. Mars was the warrior-hero par excellence, with Heracles, Nergal and Verethragna - the leading heroes of Greece, Mesopotamia and Iran - each being identified with the planet Mars. Other figures we would identify with the red planet include Apollo, Horus, Indra, Thor, Tezcatlipoca, Shu, Reseph, Rudra, Ares and the Latin Mars [4 ]. Whilst the mythical roles of Venus and Mars are vaguely familiar to orthodox archaeoastronomers [5 ], Saturn's former prominence has remained a well-kept secret. It was Velikovsky who first pointed out Saturn's important ...

... those of Jason and Pelops. (57) The Praenesten cista would appear to raise the possibility of a relationship between the boiling child and the planet Mars, provided, that is, that one can accept the identity of the Latin god with the planet of that name. (58) That the Latin god Mars was identified with the red planet is well-known, of course, although few scholars have been willing to consider the possibility of a celestial dimension to the god's cult. (59) Nonetheless it must be admitted that Mars- as a god of war symbolized by an upright lance, with implicit associations with pestilence and the underworld- offers a close parallel to the ...
38. Thoth Vol III, No. 1: Jan 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... No 2, pg 57-73. Footnotes are available there.] On June 28th, 1911, the inhabitants of Nakhla, Egypt, were treated to a spectacular meteor shower. As it turns out, one of these rocks almost certainly came from the planet Mars, nearly 50 million miles away. The difficulty in dislodging a meteorite from the red planet, much less transporting one to Earth, has prompted several noted authorities to doubt their Martian origin. The meteorite's chemical imprint, however, not unlike the DNA- evidence in a murder trial, leaves little doubt about its place of origin. Nor did this rock alone make the journey. To date, ten Martian meteorites have ...
39. Thundergods and Thunderbolts [Journals] [Aeon]
... If anybody understood it, he would have understood the major part of the Veda." [35] In our previous studies on Indra, we argued that the Vedic thundergod is to be identified with the planet Mars, which we based upon his fundamental affinity with Heracles, Verethragna, and Vahagn, each of whom was identified with the red planet by their respective cultures. [36] The identification with Mars, although surprising at first sight, is actually the key to deciphering the multifaceted mythology surrounding the thundergod, as virtually every characteristic of Indra's finds a close analogue in ancient conceptions associated with Mars. THE LIGHTNING-HURLING EYE One of the more curious beliefs surrounding the lightning in ...
