... Trimurti are not only represented as individual gods but are often so depicted in sculpture and painting, the most notable example being the oft repeated scene of Brahma's birth from Vishnu's navel. It therefore becomes obvious that just because Mithras and Sol are depicted as individual deities in the same scene, it does not necessarily follow that they must represent different celestial bodies. While this point is well taken, it must, nevertheless, be pointed out that there is nothing in Persian mythology which can be utilized as a direct identification of Mithra as the Sun. It might be thought a different story when we revert to the Indic Mitra for we are, of course, still burdened with the ...
492. The Mesoamerican Record [Journals] [Pensee]
... that the dates as they stand, particularly according to the revision proposed by Berger et al., bring to prominence the kinds of explanation for the four-phase sequence at La Venta which the catastrophic hypothesis would suggest. In a simplified version, the complete destruction of the Olmec I ceremonial center would correspond to the beginning of a new phase of celestial instability; the three renovations of the Olmec II Complex A would be accounted for by recurrent destruction caused by the close approaches of Mars; and the final abandonment of the site would reflect the last acts of the celestial struggle. In a more complex version, some of the destructions might be attributed to the migrations of warrior hordes such ...
493. "Worlds in Collision" and the Prince of Denmark: II. Hamlet and Meso-American Myth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... carry the same connotations; but, as we are reminded, the Norse stories themselves are not lacking in planetary associations. Saxo himself links Amleth to Hercules (31), whom Velikovsky identifies as a Mars figure (32); and his ancestry includes Horvendil, unequivocally representative of the Morning Star (Venus) (33). In celestial battles, the Mars figure is generally portrayed as the loser (34); likewise, Amleth, after an obscure youth and fiery life of battle, perishes as a force in Danish history. Dr Wolfe again concludes that this story embodies ancestral catastrophic associations of a type with those discerned in the previously examined parallels (35). ...
... historical outlook of the last two centuries. It stems from the fact that philologists and Orientalists have lost all contact with astronomical imagination, or even the fundamentals of astronomy. When they find something which savors undeniably of astronomical lore, they find a way to label it under "prelogical thought" or the like. But even apart from the celestial "ladder," and the sky-travel of the shaman's soul, a close look at shamanistic items always discloses very ancient patterns. For instance, the drum, the most powerful device of the shaman, representing the Universe in a specific way, is the unmistakable grandchild of the bronze lilissu drum of the Mesopotamian Kalu-priest (responsible for music ...
... a universal ocean. In the beginning of things, we are told, the First Sole Cause " with a thought created the waters," and then moved upon their surface in the form of Brahma the creator, by whose agency the emergence of the dry land was effected, and the peopling of the earth with plants, animals, celestial creatures, and man. Afterwards, as often as a general conflagration at the close of each manwantara had annihilated every visible and existing thing, Brahma, on awaking from his sleep, finds the whole world a shapeless ocean. Accordingly, in the legendary poems called the Puranas, composed at a later date than the Vedas, the ...
496. Sagan's second problem: Repeated collisions among the Earth, Venus and Mars (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, stated that, "Dr. Velikovsky had his day when he spotted a major scientific boner in Professor Sagan's argument... Dr. Velikovsky pointed out that if two bodies orbiting the Sun under the influence of gravity collide once, that encounter enhances the chance of another, a well-known fact in celestial mechanics. Professor Sagan's calculations, in effect, ignore the law of gravity. Here, Dr. Velikovsky was the better astronomer."7 And Robert Bass was so bold as to state that Sagan's, "assumption [regarding independent probabilities] is absolutely identical to the assumption that Newton's Law of Gravity may be ignored," 8 ...
497. Venus Before Exodus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... today, on "Venus Before Exodus", is for the most part based upon the original ideas of Martin Sieff. Some of you will know Martin, a founder of the SIS, and many of you will have read his earlier articles in the Review. To begin with, it is our belief that Venus was around and was celestially prominent long before the catastrophes of the 15th century BC identified by Dr Velikovsky with the Exodus and the Long Day of Joshua. It has been a favourite ploy of Velikovsky's detractors to misquote him on this: nowhere does he say or imply that Venus was "born" (from Jupiter) at this time and, indeed, he ...
498. Thoth Vol II, No. 2: January 31 , 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the COSMIC night. And this elementary symbolic relationship is the bridge between microcosm and macrocosm- the "domestic" goddess, and the all-devouring, raging hag with disheveled hair, rushing across the sky when the world had fallen into chaos. With "broom" in hand, the raging goddess pursued the chaos hordes, "sweeping" away the celestial debris of the world-ending cataclysm. Every household was an extension of the sacred order defined in ancestral times. In each household was thus kept the sacred fire, symbol of the animating light of heaven, ritually extinguished at the end of every 52-year world cycle, then re-ignited with the dawn of the new cycle. Every 52 years, ...

... of the other figures depicted will be discussed.) Note inside the globes how similar their structure appears to the interior of the comets in fig. 1, suggesting that these globes are masses of plasma that have attracted each other, perhaps because of opposing magnetic fields. Fig. 2 Attic funeral krater, 8th Century BC Fig. 3 Celestial storm over Cartagena, Spain, Dec. 28, 1743 Figure 3 [5 ] shows a scene of the harbour of Cartagena, Spain on 28th December 1743. Two objects appear in the sky. Note the cruciform configuration inside the object on the left and the 4 objects that seem attracted to it. Flames resembling lightning also appear ...
500. Forum: In Defence of the Saturn Theory C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Ares, being the god of war, was frequently equipped with the epithet bronzen' [10]. In support of his theory about the secret astronomical knowledge to be found in Hesiod's Works and Days, James enlists the support of Plato who, in the Timaeus and elsewhere, outlined a model of the cosmos in which the seven major celestial bodies occupied different zones of heaven [11]. The Timaeus is a relatively late work (c . 350 BC) and reflects his growing fascination with astral worship and the desire to apply mathematical methods to the movement of the respective celestial bodies. To his credit, Plato succeeded in approximating the relative distances of the respective planets from ...
