... From: Aeon VI:3 (Nov 2002) Home | Issue Contents In Defense Of The Saturn Thesis Dwardu Cardona At the Silver Jubilee Event of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies, held at Easthampstead Park, Berkshire, England, in September of 1999, two papers critiquing the Saturn thesis were presented, one by Lynn Rose, the other by Peter James. These critiques were subsequently published in the Society's Review the following year. What follows constitutes my replies to these two scholars. I In reaffirming his version of the Saturnian model, which he based on the Philolaos system, Lynn Rose has again questioned the validity of the Saturnian model proposed by David Talbott, Ev Cochrane ...
2. The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon IV:3 (Dec 1995) Home | Issue Contents The Saturn Thesis An In-Depth Interview With David Talbott David Talbott, perhaps best known for his 1980 book, The Saturn Myth, has been researching the Saturnian phenomenon since the 1970s. (1 ) He has, since then, published much about the subject- mainly in Research Communications Network News-letter, KRONOS, and, more recently, in the pages of AEON, which publication he him-self inaugurated in 1988. Following the November 1994 symposium held in Portland, Oregon, Talbott decided to devote his time to the production of a series of videos, in lieu of the written word, through which he ...
3. The Saturn Thesis (Part 3) [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon IV:6 (May 1997) Home | Issue Contents The Saturn Thesis (Part 3)An In-Depth Interview with David Talbott- (Continued) AEON: Before we go on, for the sake of our new readers, you should perhaps begin by giving us a summary of your hypothesis, and then, hopefully, an update on recent developments. Talbott: The Saturn theory is a reconstruction of planetary history, based on a universal memory. In an epoch remembered as the Age of the Gods, the Earth participated dynamically in an unusual planetary system never imagined by modern astronomy. The first layers of the historical argument for the Saturn theory rest on ...
4. The Saturn Thesis: Questions and Answers [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon III:6 (Dec 1994) Home | Issue Contents The Saturn Thesis: Questions and Answers David Talbott Author of The Saturn Myth INTRODUCTION Why should we care about myth? I think there's a very good reason to care about myth, even though myth as a whole may seem to speak a language too obscure for rational, feet-on-the-ground folk. Myth is, I believe, a window to early human history, a more intensely dramatic period than we've realized. The myths have their roots in a time of celestial catastrophe, and more often than not the appearance of confusion results from viewing myth as something other than what it is. In the course of ...

... is no argument over the other Martian god, Horus the Younger, that is the Child, the son of Isis and Osiris. Horus was depicted as the pupil of the sun god's eye and was, like Shu, declared to "have come forth from the eye." [44] In his exceptional AEON series, "The Saturn Thesis," Talbott summarises the major attributes of Mars as they appear in world-wide mythology, and they include: "Mars...innermost sphere con-tained within the sphere of the ancient goddess [Venus] masculine heart of the female heart pupil of the eye hero emerging from a vase [a heart symbol] hero emerging from the ...

... clearly necessary." It is clear to him, he wrote, "that the presence of Saturn ruling the sky from mankind's infancy could have been ordered by YHWH to instill His message in the mind of primitive man..." Let Bar-Ron believe that if it makes him happier. He is not the first person to utilize the Saturn thesis for his own religious agenda. [104] And he will not be the last. But this is merely an attempt to have one's cake and eat it too. As for the rest, what can I say? I respect Bar-Ron's tenacity to his ancient faith, and I can even understand his resentment at my previous proclamations ...

... From: Aeon IV:5 (Nov 1996) Home | Issue Contents The Saturn Thesis (Part 2)An In-Depth Interview with David Talbott- (Continued) AEON: We interrupted our previous interview (1 ) at a very interesting juncture in which you stressed certain global pictographic examples of what you called the Radiant Venus. What else can you tell us concerning these pictographs, which are surprisingly similar from one land to another? Talbott: I've used the phrase Radiant Venus for a wide-range of mythical and symbolic images suggesting a sphere in the center of a much larger sphere, with luminous streamers radiating out from that smaller sphere across the face of the larger one. ...

10. Ashton's Bedrock of Myth (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... passed to me his baton as the chronicler of the continuing Velikovsky affair. I take this responsibility quite seriously. Perhaps as seriously as all the Epigoni, from alpha to epsilon, who constantly quote Seneca's "Quota pars..." to the world. Dwardu Cardona replies:First and foremost, if Ellenberger is going to criticize the Saturn thesis, he should first get the model right. As the model stands, the Saturnian configuration did not originally orbit the Sun. The model that is being considered follows Ralph Juergens' proposal that the Saturnian system, including Earth, had existed outside the Solar System, which system it eventually "invaded." [109] Neither ...
11. The Paleo-Saturnian System [Journals] [Aeon]
... Michael Bar-Ron, from Jerusalem, Israel, writes: I am a young student of Torah with a degree in biological anthropology, having a good background in paleontology and Middle Eastern history. On the other hand, my background in physics, electronics, and mathematics is somewhat poor, making it difficult for me to assess the strength of the Saturn thesis on these merits. In the meantime, I labor under a willing suspension of disbelief. As I become more familiar with the already-vast sea of articles and stated opinions concerning Velikovskian catastrophism and electrical interpretations of astronomical phenomena, I am able to descry both strengths and weaknesses in the Saturn theory. Thus, for instance, having read ...

... at night, Samas cannot of course be the sun." (64) Jastrow goes on to adduce a wealth of evidence that, in such contexts, Shamash can only have reference to the planet Saturn. (65) How, then, are we to explain the curious relationship which pertains between Sin and Shamash/Saturn? The Saturn Thesis Those who are familiar with the unfolding Saturnian scenario should be well aware of Saturn's role in ancient myth and religion. The readers of this periodical need hardly be reminded that the idea of Saturn as the ancient sun-god was surprisingly wide-spread. (66) Thus, according to this hypothesis, Saturn had only recently appeared as the most ...

... . Taking core samples of the mud at the bottom of a lake in Zurich, Nipkow realized that they were laminated. Through a study of their contents- "one thin layer of microgrannular carbonates and one layer of organic matter"- Nipkow surmised that the varves had to be annual deposits. [13] But if, as the Saturn thesis demands, Earth's environment was entirely different from the one at present, a reliance on modern rates and other characteristics of sedimentation cannot be made to apply to the past. Even Zeuner confesses that, in estimating the rate of sedimentation, geologists rely "on cumulative effects which have to be measured under present-day conditions and then applied to ...

... , at the urging of some colleagues, Peratt attended the World Conference sponsored by KRONIA Communications in September 2000 at which he gave a paper on plasma cosmology. During the private round table conference for the speakers that followed the public session, two amazing things transpired. The first was that Peratt got mildly interested in what those involved in the Saturn thesis were discussing, which, from an authority of Peratt's stature, was as unexpected as it was heartily welcomed. The second is that Peratt himself- who was actually heard saying "I don't believe I'm doing this"- floored the attendees by illustrating aspects of plasma instabilities with which those involved in the Saturn thesis were already familiar ...

... , or as a ladder of "souls," or as the region from whence the wind originates, or as the meeting place for horned serpents and pillar-like bulls, there is no making sense of the archetypal themes given reference to the diffuse collection of stars currently known as the Milky Way. Yet if there be any truth to the Saturn thesis, the ancient traditions surrounding the "Milky Way" become readily understandable. It can be shown, moreover, that what is true for ancient traditions surrounding the "Milky Way" is also true for ancient traditions involving other celestial bodies. And, in the final analysis, it is this fact which is the greatest strength of ...

From: Aeon V:1 (Nov 1997) Home | Issue Contents The Saturn Thesis (Part 4)An In-Depth Interview with David Talbott- (concluded)AEON: In our last discussion you were explaining the various mythological motifs associated with the displaced Radiant Venus and Mars. You mentioned that one item that this celestial apparition resembled was that of a peacock's tail. You then made the enigmatic statement that "to sit on the peacock-throne is to wear the radiating feathers as a crown." Could we start with an elaboration of this theme? Talbott: I also asked the question: "why do feathers adorning the head signify power and authority?"- knowing ...

... his scenario. [9 ] In any case, I disagree with Ashton's statement that there could only be one configuration that would fulfill Talbott's scenario. Several years ago, I experimented with "odd" planetary orbits. I wrote a program which allowed me to dynamically model gravitating systems which included repelling forces. When I became aware of Talbott's Saturn Thesis, I set up a configuration which would not require Earth to rotate on its axis, but which would display a partially-lit Saturn to viewers on Earth. The configuration had two planets orbiting the Sun, with shared spin axes perpendicular to their common orbital plane. (See sketches below.) With a sufficient laterally constraining force ( ...

... a ladder spanning the heavens and serving as a road to the sacred homeland of the ancient sun-god. The polar column as a ladder, or stairway, leading to the primeval Saturnian sun. (From a petroglyph near the San Marcos Pass in California.) If we approach the mythology surrounding the celestial staircase from the vantage point of the Saturn thesis, it will be found that each and every theme is readily explainable. According to that thesis, the planets Saturn, Venus and Mars were once involved in a unique configuration, all of the planets sharing a common axis of rotation together with the Earth, with Saturn residing in the furthest "North," and the much ...
