... ), Chapter 4. Hydrocarbons- carbohydrates Sagan states, "Velikovsky holds that the manna that fell from the skies in the Sinai peninsula was of cometary origin and therefore that there are carbohydrates on both Jupiter and Venus. On the other hand, he quotes copious sources for fire and naphtha falling from the skies, which he interprets as celestial petroleum ignited in the Earth's oxidizing atmosphere (pages 53 through 58). Because Velikovsky believes in the reality .. .of both .. .events, his book displays a sustained confusion of carbohydrates and hydrocarbons, and at some points he seems to imagine that the Israelites were eating motor oil rather than divine nutriment during their forty ...
482. Saturn: In Myth and Religion [Journals] [Kronos]
... exalted upon his resting place".(29) That this immobility really refers to Saturn is evidenced by one of Saturn's Hebrew names - Kokab Sabet, which means the Rest[ing] star (or planet).(30) Actually, Talbott believes that Saturn did wander for a time before the luminary became fixed in the north celestial pole. Thus, in a synopsis of his scenario, he wrote: "A number of sources suggest that the solitary god [i .e ., Saturn] wandered for a time, but eventually came to rest at a stationary point, which is celebrated as the cosmic center."(31) In his major work ...
483. The Feast Of Light. Ch.3 In Fear And Trembling (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... From "Mankind in Amnesia" © 1982 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Feast Of Light Most of the religious rites and observances of all creeds have been derived from ancient mysteries that go back to the events of the past in which celestial gods- Saturn, Jupiter and other planetary bodies- participated and left indelible memories. As an example of this notion I shall try in this short section to convey something I understood and wrote about, although in incomplete form, more than three decades ago. I considered not mentioning these events here at all, because, told with such brevity, the story may sound fantastic. But on the chance that I ...
484. The Love Affair as the Mask of Tragedy [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Love Affair took place in the sky nor could it have any other location. The gods move swiftly from place to place, the Sun is one of the actors, some of the brilliant imagery such as of "the brazen bright threshold" suggests the heavens, the gods involved are all sky-gods, and the decor and associated games are celestial. Hyginus is not alone in speaking of the play as going on in the sky; speaking of Venus exciting Mars, he writes that "since she inflamed him violently with love, she called the star Pyroeis, indicating this fact."[1 ] Hyginus' Poetica Astronomica also says that: When Vulcan married Venus he watched ...
485. Letters To The Edttor [Journals] [Aeon]
... same issue, page 7) makes several claims concerning Venus that require comment. Talbott's statement that "Venus returns to its same position in the sky every 584 days, called a synodical year" is false. I assume that by "returns to its same position in the sky," Talbott means that Venus returns to approximately the same celestial longitude, with the ecliptic as the reference plane. But even if we use some other standard co-ordinate system, the statement would still be false. It might be noted that Venus does return to approximately the same celestial longitude after eight years. But it does not do this after "every" synodic period; indeed, it never ...
486. Instability of Super Uranus [Books] [de Grazia books]
... | Issue Contents Part Two: DESTRUCTION OF THE SOLAR BINARY CHAPTER TEN Instability of Super Uranus The first part of our narrative was given over largely to the origin and progress of Solaria Binaria up to the beginnings of a fatal instability. Almost from the beginning life burgeoned and flourished in the plenum, and subsequently on Earth and other planets. Celestial objects were not then visible from the Earth because the plenum was too dense to let light pass directly from the binary stars to the planets. Hence mankind originated its physical being almost entirely in a world where murky grey skies softened the light through a misty air. His psychic being and intelligence, by contrast, were formed in most ...
487. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Four [Books]
... unable to get hold of. We begin with V's principal reference to Augustine, on WIC p.l60: "In The City of God' by Augustine it is written: From the book of Marcus Varro, entitled Of the Lace of the Woman People', I cite word for word the following instance: There occurred a remarkable celestial portent; for Castor records that in the brilliant star Venus, called Vesperugo by Plautus, and the lovely Hesperus by Homer, there occurred so strange a prodigy, that it changed its colour, size, form, course, which never happened before nor since. Adrastus of Cyzicus, and Dion of Naples, famous mathematicians, said ...
488. Thoth Vol II, No. 14: Sept 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the sky. At the outset of my own research, I was eager to consider this possibility. But soon a quite different possibility emerged. Here was my conclusion: there is no local history whatsoever in the poet's narrative! The entire story of the "Trojan War" is a localization of a much more ancient memory - the earthshaking celestial conflagration called the "wars of the gods". How can I assert this sweeping conclusion with such confidence? The confidence comes from the comparative study itself, which exposes the taproot of worldwide cultural traditions. It is this deeply-rooted cultural memory that fed all of the later accounts of heroes and warriors, as the chroniclers brought formerly celestial ...
489. The Death of Heracles [Journals] [Aeon]
... relationship between the boiling child and the planet Mars, provided, that is, that one can accept the identity of the Latin god with the planet of that name. (58) That the Latin god Mars was identified with the red planet is well-known, of course, although few scholars have been willing to consider the possibility of a celestial dimension to the god's cult. (59) Nonetheless it must be admitted that Mars- as a god of war symbolized by an upright lance, with implicit associations with pestilence and the underworld- offers a close parallel to the Akkadian Nergal, about whose celestial dimension there can be no doubt. (60) Recalling the identification of ...
490. The Jupiter Order [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Order When Thor, the Scandinavian Jupiter, went into battle, and would grasp the handle of his terrible weapon, the thunderbolt or electric hammer, he was obliged to put on his iron gauntlets. He also wears a magical belt known as the "girdle of strength", which, whenever girded about his person, greatly augments his celestial power. He rides upon a car drawn by two rams with silver bridles, and a wreath of stars encircles his awful brow. His chariot has a pointed iron pole, and the spark-scattering wheels continually roll over rumbling thunderclouds. He hurls his hammer with resistless force against the frost giants, whom he dissolves and annihilates. When he ...
