... been terrestrial. In fact I had already earlier described these waters as having been piled up in a tidal heap due to the gravitational pull of Saturn which hovered overhead. (55) Although I have not quite discarded this hypothesis, I was compelled, on the advice of Roger Ashton and David Lorton, to reconsider ancient testimony concerning the celestial nature of these waters. This idea is perhaps best indicated in Egyptian myth. Traditionally, the Egyptian waters of chaos, known as Nu and/or Nun, are described as having been in the sky. Budge tells us that "the name Nu...is expressed by three vases of water which indicate the sound, ...

... the Golden Age of the Gods, as well as its final destruction, corresponds to events that actually occurred and were etched in human memory like ancient software. Talbott deduces that major changes in the planetary order brought about Earth-threatening catastrophes. According to his model, the first civilizations originated in ritual practices honoring, imitating, and re-living these dramatic celestial events. His assertion, following Velikovsky, is that the dominant deified powers celebrated in ancient rites and pantheons were actually planets moving close to Earth. In this notebook, Talbott's goal is "to provide just enough of an abstract of the Saturn theory to give a sense of the underlying coherence of the thesis." (p . ...

153. SERVANT OF THE SUN GOD [Journals] [Aeon]
... familiar with the general thesis of the polar configuration and the preliminary details I have outlined in previous AEON articles. The model under consideration, based on the premise of a polar Saturn, has the planet Mars rotating on a shared Earth-Saturn axis, much closer to the Earth than to Saturn, though observers saw it as the termination of a celestial column- a stream of ice, dust, gas or cosmic debris stretching from Mars toward the Earth. Visually, this luminous column seemed to support the revolving wheel of Saturn. (Fig. 1) Having previously suggested several aspects of Mars' position in the polar configuration,(1 ) I will now begin a more comprehensive ...

... (durva), or any kind of yellow kusa plants. But Dr. O. Schrader7 pronounces that all the investigations of the original terrestrial soma-plant have failed to produce any tangible result. This soma is the Avestan haoma which, like the universe-mountain, becomes duplicated, for there is an earthly as well as a heavenly haoma; the celestial one growing-up in the actual middle of the sublime spring Ardvistlra in the sea of air Vurukasha, or the Airanya-vaeja, the atmosphere, the ether. Haug 8 says that there is an invocation in the Haoma yasht of the Avesta to the holy haoma-tree as the "imperishable Pillar of life, amareza gayehe stuna." The passage is ...

... Histories"! On WIC p.225 V refers to Herodotus's version of the destruction of the army of Sennacherib by mice, and again on WIC p.297, where he explains the link between the mice of Herodotus and the blast' of Ginzberg's angel (p .41- 2) thus: "Apparently the atmosphere of the celestial body that appeared in the darkness was illuminated, and took on the elongated form of a mouse. This explains why the blast that destroyed the army of Sennacherib was commemorated by the emblem of a mouse." Was Herodotus describing a destruction by a planet whose atmosphere looked like a mouse ? I doubt it. Here is Godley's translation ...

157. Worlds In Collision. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... . Not knowing the possible relation between a huge train of meteorites and the disturbances it could theoretically cause in the rotation of the earth, the ancient chronicler could only by the rarest chance have brought the two phenomena together unless there was a true relation between them. I thought: If these were natural phenomena, observed as the standstill of celestial bodies, they must also have been experienced in other parts of the world. The next morning, in the Columbia library, I examined ancient texts of the Chinese in the East and of the Mexicans in the West. I did not find then what I was looking for in the books on ancient Chinese history- in the months and ...

... , the theory, bizarre in the extreme, can be reduced to its simplest form by positing that the planets Saturn, Venus, Mars, and Earth were once much closer to each other. More than that, they were strung out in a linear conformation, in the order given above, which Frederic Jueneman once jocularly described as a celestial shish-kebab. In other words, the planets in question were strung out, one "below" the other rather than circling around each other. This would have meant that the planets composing this unheard-of configuration were all sharing the same axis of rotation. What this also means is that, from Earth, man would have seen the planet ...

159. The Origin of Velikovsky's Comet [Journals] [Kronos]
... far. Our study will take us back to the mythical age of "beginnings". We will find much support for Velikovsky's claim of a cometary Venus - and also a surprising and crucial connection with Saturn. Though our investigation will question certain assumptions of Worlds in Collision, we think the evidence will help to substantiate Velikovsky's underlying theory of celestial catastrophe, in which the primary players are planets. 2. The Saturn Myth In Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky presented the last two acts of what he claimed to be a much longer drama of interplanetary catastrophes. These later episodes, involving Venus and Mars and dated from the fifteenth to the seventh centuries B.C ., were ...

... Alter, who was then Director Emeritus of Griffith Observatory, said that a comparison of the orbits of comets and some asteroids indicates that there is a relationship between the two types of bodies. He also claimed that when a comet or asteroid is discovered, it is often difficult to tell which it is. 4 The ancients called a diffuse celestial object a comet, and we see that even in modern times diffuseness (or a hairy" appearance) remains the basic criterion for calling an object a comet. The mass in the definition of a comet is even less strictly defined. The masses of comets are difficult to determine, but they are generally thought to range from 10 ...
