77. Solar System Studies [Journals] [Aeon]
... legend Jupiter overthrew Saturn to become king of the gods. Jupiter was also the primary god of the thunderbolt. There are numerous references in ancient literature to the lightning of Jupiter and its adverse affects on earth and on other planetary gods. Some of these descriptions are consistent with the unleashing of literal thunderbolts, as in the destruction of the tower of Babel and the later destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah In the Greek myth of the wars of the gods, it is by the Jovian thunderbolts that the threefold mass of mountains raised against heaven came crashing down. Velikovsky's mythically based scenario has the planet formerly moving in close conjunction with the Earth, followed by major celestial catastrophes. Perhaps ...

... and Nebuchadrezzar in the Scriptures, the name he himself preferred upon having achieved great fame as the builder of Babylon, under the aegis of Nebo, the protector god of his father and of the city the father conquered and the son built. In a different work I intend to bring out that what is known as the catastrophe of the Tower of Babel (Babylon) was caused by a close passage of Mercury, Nebo of the Babylonians (heard in the names Nabopolassar and Nebuchadnezzar), or Thoth of the Egyptians (heard in the name Thutmose). Nergilis-sar's name, however, reflects the cult of Mars, a planet that came much into prominence in the eighth century ...

... miles inland, were originally ports). Harappan cities had been built in the middle of the silt. Archaeologists concluded that a blockage lasting decades 90 miles downstream from Mohanjo-Daro resulted in a huge lake - people had tried unsuccessfully to build, then been swamped. Compare this with the story in Josephus (Book 1 Chapter 4) of Nimrod's Tower of Babel, to be built of brick and too high for the waters to reach. Lasken believes the dating of the story of Gilgamesh, as told by Berossus, as well as Sumerian chronology (flood 3100-2800), to be incorrect. There are lots of flood stories. The earliest datable ones were by the Greek and Roman ...

... and energy. A better understanding of how close, and hence how energetic, were these ancient Mars-Earth flybys. A better understanding of the role of Saturn in those 20 percent of the ancient Mars flybys termed megacatastrophes; what was Saturn's vital role? A better understanding of why and how much one megacatastrophe differed from another (such as the Tower of Babel flyby and the Noah Flood flyby). A better understanding of the driving force (Earth's gravity) behind the development of such huge Martian volcanoes as Olympic Mons, 13 miles high with a blowhole 50 miles in diameter and a crater base of 110,000 square miles. The identity and the past locations of the generator ...
... crime, and she retired to the second heaven. The sins of the generation of Enoch removed her still farther off from men, she took up her abode in the third heaven; then, successively, in the fourth, on account of the malefactors in the generation of the deluge; in the fifth, during the building of the tower of Babel and the confusion of tongues; in the sixth, by reason of the wicked Egyptians at the time of Abraham; and, finally, in the seventh, in consequence of the abominations of the inhabitants of Sodom. Six righteous men, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Levi, Kohath, and Amram, drew the Shekinah ...
... some of them are dwarfs. They have two heads, wherefore they can never arrive at a decision; they are always at loggerheads with themselves.[34] It may happen that they are pious now, only to be inclined to do evil the next moment. In the Ge, the fourth earth, live the generation of the Tower of Babel and their descendants. God banished them thither because the fourth earth is not far from Gehenna, and therefore close to the flaming fire.[35] The inhabitants of the Ge are skilful in all arts, and accomplished in all departments of science and knowledge, and their abode overflows with wealth. When an inhabitant of ...

... Gabbara respectively. Nefilah means "giant;" Gabbara means "hero." He then continues: "It is agreed that both Nefilah and Gabbara denote Orion. The Aramaic and Syriac names of Orion have been connected with the ancient Oriental tradition that Nimrod... was fettered in the sky by God for his obstinacy in building the tower of Babel."(54) This connection between Nimrod and Orion has already been pointed out by others.(55) Sieff also reminds us that Nimrod, as Ninurta, is equated with the planet Saturn. This is not consistent with Sieff's method in identifying Khima as Venus. In the case of Khima, Sieff discounted the ...

... the Earth. With this celestial geometry the anniversaries of October 24 were in 540-year megacycles: 864 B.C ., 1404 B.C ., 1944 B.C ., and 2484 B.C . These catastrophic occasions, respectively, produced such effects as Elijah's Mt. Carmel Barbecue, Joshua's Long Day, collapse of the Tower of Babel, and Noah's Flood. It was the catastrophic flyby of 2484 B.C ., Noah's Flood, when the Earth's climate was so radically shifted and altered (with the usual charging of the Earth's geomagnetic field), when oceanic tides were variously 5000 and 10,000 feet above pre-Flood sea level, and when a ...

... convenient modes of exit towards an accumulated and approaching extraterrestrial charge (opposite). Hypothesis: at a certain point in time (Mercuria?), thousands of points of Earth were mobilized to discharge electricity (cf. my article on Troy IIg, which might be synchronized with the vitrification found in many places). Query: does the Tower of Babel case belong here? Did the languages of man disperse in shocked amnesiac behavior? Do the ziggurats and pyramids evidence Vitrification or an intent to facilitate (ex post facto) future current-flows? (Troy IIg is in pyramid-building times.) Note Mercurial qualities? When did Hermes flourish as a god? (under overall aegis of ...

... one coming near the other all night." The Hebrew version carries "and the night disappeared in light..."[36] "God caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind, the wind He always makes use of when he chastises the nations," as in the Deluge, the Destruction of the Tower of Babel, of Samaria, of Jerusalem, of Tyre [37]. Battles of Egyptian and Israelite Angels waged in the skies. The Egyptian soldiers were met by strong winds, fiery darts, lightning flashes, thunder, hailstones and coals of fire [38]. The chariot wheels and the hooves of the horses were burned ...

... be explained from within contemporary science's worldview: What can Darwinism say about the "evolution" of insect metamorphosis? What can Darwinism say about the "evolution" of asexual species? What can orthodoxy say about ancient accounts of the Great Flood except "They're exaggerated."? What can orthodoxy say about (the natural catastrophe befalling) the Tower of Babel except "It's a fabrication."? What can orthodoxy offer to confront Biblical Creationism except ridicule? (An objective analysis of this alternate view- without ridicule- shows that it collapses upon itself.) ORIGINS - Today's Science, Tomorrow's Myth examines these and many other puzzling phenomena from Earth's past that can be explained only ...

... sky. Greek tragedy is based on confrontation, where a character suffering from hubris, behaving arrogantly as if superior to all others, is brought low. In a passage attacking the idolatry of the Jews, Isaiah appears to refer to the practice of incubation, on a mountain top, or, as in Babylon, on a ziggurat [tower of Babel]. In LVII:7 he writes: "upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice". It is probable that Minos paid similar visits to mountain top shrines. There is an Egyptian reference to "the god on the top of the staircase" ...

I, p. 205.], even the Tower of Babel itself, and first of all the Wild Hunter ( appendix #20 ). This assembly of figures "in mid-air" helps to give meaning to an otherwise pointless tale, a veritable fossil found in Westphalian folklore: "The Giants called to Hackelberg [= Odin as the Wild Hunter] for help. He raised a ...
