... association of Venus with celestial "hair" and with a celestial "beard," two of the most common hieroglyphs for the comet in the ancient world. But another popular glyph for the "comet" was the serpent or dragon, a form taken by the planet Venus in virtually every land. And the same planet, among the Babylonians and other races, was called the "flame," or "torch of heaven," a widespread symbol of a comet among ancient peoples. According to Velikovsky, the history of the comet Venus, inspiring the most powerful themes of ancient myth and ritual, speaks for a collective memory of global upheaval: earthshaking battles in the ...
502. Odin [Journals] [Kronos]
... was clad in a shining breast-plate and golden helmet, while in his hands he carried his magic lance, Gingnir.(14) Among both peoples, Odin/Woden became the national god of war and it was under his patronage that the Angles and the Saxons invaded Britain.(15) Seen thus, Odin reminds one of the Babylonian Nergal at the head of his demons, (16) the Greek Ares with his "never resting horrible creatures",(17) or the Vedic Indra leading his terrible Maruts.(18) Students of Velikovsky may therefore recognize Odin/Woden and his furious celestial army as the planet Mars when, according to Velikovsky, it ...
503. Some Religious Themes in the Light of Velikovsky et alia [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the Christian faith we are told that God is three persons in one: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This idea was supposedly introduced in New Testament times(2 ) and yet it is already present in other faiths: Shiva, Vishnu and Krishna; Osiris, Horus and Isis; and the Sun, Moon Venus Trinity of the Babylonians. I have long had the idea at the back of my mind that each figure of the Trinity might be planetary, and this prompted me to start researching this field after reading Elizabeth Gaudry's letter in WORKSHOP 3:4 , p. 30-1. As I have already stated, I was able to identify Saturn with the deity of ...
504. Temples And Obelisks, Part 2 Mars Ch.7 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... was no sun worship in this arrangement; it was dictated by the e vents of the past, when the position of the earth, in relation to the rising and setting points of the sun, was moved in world catastrophes. The fall equinox was observed as New Year's day. This ceremony with the equinoctial sun was old. The Babylonian temples, also, had "the gate of the rising sun" and "the gate of the setting sun."5 With the growing belief that there would be no more changes in the world system, a belief expressed also by Deutero-Isaiah (66:22), the eastern gate of the Jerusalem Templ e was closed forever ...
505. An Interim Reply To Weir [Journals] [Kronos]
... only made use of the 30-day months of Ammisaduqa." But we intended no such suggestion. When we referred to Huber's and Weir's use of the attested 30-day months of Ammisaduqa, it was in connection with their conversion of retrocalculated Julian dates (for the astronomical events that are supposed to correspond to their alleged Venus "data") into Babylonian lunar dates. For this purpose, the attested 30-day months of Ammisaduqa are the only ones that would be relevant. "Moreover, his work is certainly not a failure. He did establish the astronomical date." Obviously, our arguments have failed to sway Weir in the least. We have, nevertheless, provided ample evidence that ...

508. Child of Saturn (Part V) [Journals] [Kronos]
... 9 ) These two items imply that it was the "morning star" that was symbolized by the goddess Anat. Her alter-ego, the Persian Anahita, further identifies Anat's "star" as Venus,(10) concerning which there has never really been any doubt. If this is not enough, we also find Anat identified as the Babylonian Ishtar,(11) whose Venerian identity has never been contested.(12) Anat's identity as Venus can therefore be considered as established. We ask then: Whose child was Anat? The answer is not hidden. As William Albright explained: "The figure of Anath can be better understood in the light of several Egyptian accounts ...

510. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that the planets determined the fate of the world. In their prayers to the planets they summoned memories of heaven-shattering catastrophe. What was it about these celestial objects that inspired this cultural anxiety? And why did so many ancient accounts insist that the movements of the planets once changed? That was Plato's message more than 2300 years ago. The Babylonian chronicler Berossus said it too: the planets now move on different courses. But these are only two of the more familiar voices amidst a chorus of ancient witnesses. In archaic texts the planetary gods were a quarrelsome lot. They were giants in the sky, wielding weapons of thunder, fire, and stone. Their wars not only ...
