... equinoxes being taken into consideration)."(5 ) The source cited for this assertion is page 76 of John Bentley's (rather jaundiced) Historical View of the Hindu Astronomy.(6 ) On this page and on several others, Bentley has worked out tables showing errors in the longitudes of the Moon and planets, not the fixed ... subject here. After discussing the distribution of the ice sheet during the last glaciation, Velikovsky wrote: The Brahman charts of the sky show a large difference from what modern astronomers would expect to find. Calcutta being removed 180 longitude from Baffin Land [sic], the Brahman charts would rather correspond to a position of the earth in which ...

343. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , some late eighteenth century items being included. Starting with fossil footprints and giant skeletons the collection proceeds with cup-marks, petroglyphs, legends of gods and giants, American Indian astronomy, Celtic remains in Jamaica, ancient metallurgy and Noah's Ark, and ends with an extensive section on structural artefacts such as temples, dolmens, menhirs, vitrified forts ... henges, pyramids, obelisks and ancient tunnels and mines. Astronomical alignments naturally figure prominently in this section starting with the pioneering work of Lockyer and others and going up to C. A. Newham's article on Stonehenge in Nature (1966). (Thom does not appear in this volume). The two volumes of Strange Phenomena (which ...
344. ALL Honorable Men [Books]
... The Skeptical Inquirer alone. Certain journals and magazines of the scientific establishment also pursue this same policy. Typical of this are the following examples: The journal Mercury, an astronomy journal, is published on the west coast of the United States. After running endorsements for several publications critical of Velikovsky's theories and actually describing Velikovsky's theory as "wacky ... the publication of Worlds in Collision, dozens of Velikovsky's claims have been verified. Indeed, William Plummer wrote in Science, Some of the least expected discoveries made by planetary astronomers in recent years were correctly predicted by Velikovsky. He argues that Jupiter should be a strong source of radio waves, that the Earth should have a magnetosphere, that ...
345. Oberg's Unscientific Method [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... If Oberg is not convinced about von Braun and Ordway's information, I suggest that he read page 33 of another popularised work, "Science on the Moon," in Astronomy, for September, 1976, written by that respected and well-known populariser, James E. Oberg, and his co-author and friend, Eric Burgess, who say that ... any scientific literature. While cited evidence and data are part of the scientific method of criticism, there is also the unscientific method of criticism. Tom Van Flandern, an astronomer of the U. S. Naval Observatory and, sometimes, a consultant to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has a subchapter in his book, titled "The Unscientific ...

... Deg began using the term "quantavolution." Not only the increasing number of cosmic heretics, but also restless and probing scientists of the several large fields of geology, astronomy, biology, and the historical sciences had been publishing new materials in which global disasters figured, sometimes mentioning possible exoterrestrial causes, at other times remarking on the shortening ... heroine, a wily heretic who knows what she's after, and who knows how she's been led up the garden path by these deans, and university presses, and intolerant astronomers. It'll make sense out of all these years of running around telling people I'm not a heretic, you know, but then oughtn't we consider this and that cosmic ...
... 141, 209, 217, 218, 271, 284]: a major synthesis of many disciplines, reflecting a thorough knowledge of such fields as anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, biology, chemistry, classical literature, folklore, geology, paleontology, physics, psychology, religion, world history; massive documentation from many texts- Old Testament ... a giant planet with a fifteen-year period with which a fifteen-year cycle in earthquakes and other calamitous events was associated. Some different interpretations undoubtedly will be assigned . . . by astronomers and physicists Dr. Velikovsky's work, as yet unpublished, presents a stupendous panorama of terrestrial and human history which will stand as a challenge to scientists to frame a ...

... these 325 years. Again, this provides a complete confirmation of Ptolemy's canon for this period. The chart is reproduced from A. Sachs' article, "Babylonian observational astronomy", Phil.

Hodson (ed.), The Place of Astronomy in the ... is firmly anchored to a solar eclipse that took place according to the Canon in the month of Simanu (= May/June) of the eponymy of Pur-Sagale. Modern astronomers have identified this eclipse with an almost total eclipse that took place on June 15, 763 BC (Julian calendar). But if this identification is in error, ...

... early period did not know the five-planet system,(37) and only in a later (" middle") period did the Brahmans speak of five planets. Babylonian astronomy, too, had a four-planet system. In ancient prayers the planets Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Mercury are invoked; the planet Venus is missing; and one ... planet Venus was born in the first half of the second millennium, I assume also that in the third millennium only four planets could have been seen, and that in astronomical charts of this early period the planet Venus cannot be found. In an ancient Hindu table of planets, attributed to the year -3102, Venus alone among the visible ...
350. Chapter VI: the Probable Hor-shesu Worship [Books]
... as well as the sun. With regard to all the temples of the ancient world, whether they are located in Egypt or elsewhere, we must never forget that if astronomy is concerned in them at all, we have to deal with the observations of the rising or setting of the heavenly bodies; whereas the modern astronomer cares little for ... risings or settings, but deals only with them on the meridian. The place of rising or setting would be connected with the temple by the direction of the temple's axis. Now, the directions towards which the temples point are astronomically expressed by their "amplitudes"- that is, the distance in degrees from the east or west point ...
