... and underdeveloped the system of computing time was even at the end of the fifth century B.C . This scanty knowledge would be incomprehensible had there existed a highly sophisticated astronomy with a precise time-reckoning in use for some 350 years. How valid is the Olympic Chronology? After the dim and fruitless centuries of the Middle Ages a rational discussion ... .C .? Eventually, the question arises why historical consciousness originates only in the sixth century B.C . although a highly developed system of writing as well as astronomical science is considered to have been in existence already for more than 300 years? It is an undisputed fact that Herodotus' dates for the sixth century B.C ...

Ness, et al., Science, 204 (1979), ... reason, the few close encounters of comets with planets that have been observed in the past 300 years show only comets with small masses. This is a very short time astronomically and cannot be extrapolated to the age of the solar system or to all comets as has been done by astronomers. If large comet nuclei pass through our solar system ...
... are known. ' All the terrestrial ones (Mars, earth, Venus, Mercury) have a density of 1. The information is given in some popular books on astronomy as well as in encyclopedias and the technical literature; for example, see Motz [2621. 89 Is Velikovsky Right or Wrong? About 5 grams per cubic centimeter ... compare the alleged planetary movements with those that would be concordant with our knowledge of planetary motions. He would be suspicious of any reported motions that were not consistent with current astronomical knowledge. To establish the possible correctness of the traditions, as opposed to the correctness of the astronomers' calculations, he would seek independent evidence. But Velikovsky, ...
574. The Olympian Rulers [Books] [de Grazia books]
... like the Uranian, had been practically obliterated. Huge stone and brick structures were erected in Middle Americas, Mesopotamia Egypt and elsewhere. These coupled a rapidly redeveloped service of astronomy to the frantic needs of absolute rulers and priesthoods for protection against deluges and for electrical roadways to heaven. Tunnels, mazes, megaliths, ziggurats, and pyramids were ... god, whereas Zeus in Greek legend had to do the job personally. Second, Seth in Egypt dismembers Osiris-Saturn; Zeus and his cohorts destroy and scatter the Titans. Astronomically this was a sequence perhaps preceding the great Deluge of Saturn, when enormous electrical and material storms invaded the magnetic tube. The debris of Saturn's fission could be considered ...

... . I inadvertently assigned to Darius I the dating of Darius II. if this has led anyone astray, please accept my apologies. In his letter, Ammisaduqa and Persian Astronomy' in Workshop 1990:2 , p. 47, Gunnar Heinsohn gives interesting information about the frequency of the name Ammisaduqa in the time of Ochus. But that ... a quite compelling physical scenario which accounts for much, if not all, of the data compiled by Whiston, Radlof, Donnelly, Velikovsky et al. in a plausible astronomical framework. I encourage all readers to examine The Cosmic Winter and see if it is not a satisfying alternative to Worlds in Collision. To those who believe one is ...

... to light scattering by material within galaxies (cf Workshop 1990:1 , p. 23). They say their theory provides a neat answer to a bitter controversy in astronomy. Photographs showing streams of gas apparently passing on to a far more distant quasar have been dismissed as coincidence, but renegades have supported their reality. Meanwhile, the ... p. 23) the demise of Frank's theory that millions of tiny comets are continually adding water to Earth's atmosphere. Now, once again, he receives support.

... material actually suggest that the Egyptian calendar in the mid-4th century BC differed from the Egyptian calendar at the time Geminus wrote. Geminus wrote something akin to a beginner's textbook in astronomy. Portions of his chapter 8 discuss the Egyptian calendar. Geminus was attempting to correct what he claims was a widespread misunderstanding among Greeks that the Egyptian festival of Isis ... them with the complete year in which their predecessors died [4 ]. While this seems a useful convention for assisting readers of Ptolemy's Almagest to determine the intervals between its astronomical observations, it does not necessarily give the same Egyptian or Babylonian year counts as contemporary scribes. For example, if a king took the Egyptian crown in the Egyptian ...

... and Wickramasinghe to speculate about world-wide epidemics brought by cometary dust, and for Sagan to speculate about the evolution of human intelligence, but not okay for Velikovsky to speculate about astronomy?" Fine tuning the evidence Next, Sagan states that in Exodus, chapter 9, "It is said the cattle of Egypt all died, but of the ... Clouds of Venus". Sagan states that because "Jupiter is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium" it lacks hydrocarbons. Therefore, let us see what a well known astronomer has to say on this matter which poses "grave difficulties" for Velikovsky. The astronomer just happens to be Carl Sagan, who stated the following at a NASA ...

... the world- a rigorous, comparative approach will leave no doubt that this very spot is the remembered station of the primeval sun. Of course from the vantage point of modern astronomy the entire idea is outrageous. So our next step must be to look carefully at the language of the cosmic center in the different cultures.- HALE-BOPP: ARTICLE ... always been Polaris, of course.] You can see this motion through a time lapse photograph of the circumpolar region.
