... be fixed. (a ) Babylonia. "On the 26th day of the month Siwan in the seventh year the day was turned to night. Heaven in flames." The century of occurrence is still a matter of debate. Fotheringham chose 1062 B.C . There can be no solar eclipse on the 26th day of a lunar calendar month. Kugler explains the phenomenon: "The Earth was going through an immense train of small, dust-like, and also large meteorites. The meteoric dust created darkness; the larger meteorites became incandescent through friction in the atmosphere and put the sky in flames. (Sternkunde und Sterndienst in Babel, II, 2, 373 n. ...
412. Focus Overseas [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Group's journal. The most popular study area so far has been parapsychology; another concerns itself with Velikovsky's cosmological theory. A "theme-issue" of Alfa dealing exclusively with Velikovsky is planned for later this year: although the journal is published in Finnish, this issue will include at least one paper in English, considering megalithic sites and ancient calendars in relation to Velikovsky's hypothesis. KRONOS, A Journal of Interdisciplinary Synthesis, c /o Prof. Warner Sizemore, Glassboro State College, Glassboro N.J . 08028.

413. Rehabilitation Of Censorinus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Courville writes: "Censorinus gave the date of his writing in terms of various periods of elapsed time from earlier historical events or eras". This is not correct. It would be like dating an edition of the Nautical Almanac or the Astronomical Ephemeris from the lists contained in them giving the same year in the Jewish or Muslim or another calendar. The Romans named their years by the names of the consuls of that year and Censorinus says clearly and unambiguously that he is writing in the year when V.C .Pius and Pontianus are consuls. According to the consular list (5 ) this is the year 238 AD which is 991(6 ) since the founding of ...
414. Problems With The Morning Star [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Teotihuacan, but reached a peak under the Aztecs sacrificing to Tezcatlipoca, who is usually described as the blood-thirsty god of war (and thus equated with Mars). However, he has many of the characteristics of the dangerous Venus, a shape changer associated with the colour black and destroyer of the Toltecs through pestilence. A change in the calendar system seems also to be associated with him[19]. His mythological origins point to a further identification with Saturn in the possession of only one leg, or one enormous foot[19]. Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl were antitheses. In one myth they are rivals in the great ball game, and the defeated Quetzalcoatl is expelled to ...
415. The World Ages, Prologue Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... old tradition, and a very persistent one, of world ages that went down in cosmic catastrophes was found in the Americas among the Incas,(13) the Aztecs, and the Mayas.(14) A major part of stone inscriptions found in Yucatan refer to world catastrophes. "The most ancient of these fragments [katuns or calendar stones of Yucatan] refer, in general, to great catastrophes which, at intervals and repeatedly, convulsed the American continent, and of which all nations of this continent have preserved a more or less distinct memory."(15) Codices of Mexico and Indian authors who composed the annals of their past give a prominent place to ...
416. "13", Part 1 Venus Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... for the Egyptians it was the thirteenth day. An earthquake caused by contact or collision with a comet must be felt simultaneously all around the world. An earthquake is a phenomenon that occurs from time to time; but an earthquake accompanying an impact in the cosmos would stand out and be recalled as a memorable date by survivors. In the calendar of the Western Hemisphere, on the thirteenth day of the month, called olin, "motion" or "earthquake,"(4 ) a new sun is said to have initiated another world age.(5 ) The Aztecs, like the Egyptians, reckoned the day from sunrise.(6 ) Here we have, en ...

419. Asimov's Guide to the Velikovsky Affair [Journals] [Kronos]
... a primeval chaos lashed by hissing tornadoes of cinders. What body was the cause? Dr. Velikovsky makes an inspired conjecture that will make you catch your breath. The worst catastrophe took place about the time of Exodus, but another took place about the 7th or 8th century before Christ. This cosmic mishap set the ancients hastily revising their calendars from the original 360 days. Why? Dr. Velikovsky says they were right in laying the error to "the faults of heaven." EVIDENCE IS ENORMOUS The evidence for these fearful and wonderful speculations is enormous. It exists in the excavated history, and in the folklore of peoples all over the globe- of Egyptians, Hindus ...
420. Failure of a Concept? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... i: "Amos") Velikovsky refers to a severe flood* during the days of Osorkon II. Elsewhere he points to a "remarkable prodigy of uncertain nature somehow connected with the Moon" and a calendrical reform, in a text of Shoshenk III that is notoriously difficult to interpret (II, viii: "The Reforming of the Calendar"). Third, there is the shadow clock of Fayyûm that apparently defies a uniformitarian explanation (II, vii: "The Shadow Clock"), and Marx adds the point that the Libyan period, a time of weakness and disorder, suits the "unsafe century" of the Mars catastrophes. [* NB - Velikovsky's ...
