... have been generated, nor is it necessary that an eruption of this type produce such waves. Now this dissociation of Thera from the Exodus and interplanetary perturbations hardly damages any basic cosmological or chronological ideas, since powerful volcanoes like Vesuvius and Krakatoa, and, more recently, the Pacific and Icelandic examples can and do erupt without being triggered by celestial near-collisions. Moreover, it is possible that events described by King David, specifically earthquake, flood, smoke, fire, darkness, "hailstones and coals of fire" (II Sam. 22:5-19 and Ps. 18:5-18) may reflect the Theran eruption, provided that the passages are not metaphorical, and the date ...
532. Sword-God, Part 2 Mars Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... , Raging Flame-god, god Nergal. Thou art Anguish and Terror, Great Sword-god, Lord who wanderest in the night, Horrible, raging Flame-god . . . Whose storming is a storm flood. In one of its great conjunctions, Mars' atmosphere was stretched so that it appeared like a sword. Often before and later, too, celestial prodigies assumed the shape of swords. Thus, in the days of David a comet appeared in the form of a human being "between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem."2 The Roman god Mars was pictured with a sword; he became the god of war. ...
533. Solar Eclipses and the Historical Record [Journals] [Horus]
... From: Horus Vol. 2 No. 1 (Winter 1986) Home | Issue Contents Solar Eclipses and the Historical Record Charles Raspil Because of Astronomy's claim that the heavens have behaved with predictable stability within the timeframe of written history, historians have often sought the astronomer's help in dating material that seems to describe celestial events; and the historian's favorite event is the solar eclipse, the time and location of which, astronomers claim they can pinpoint backward through several millennia. In these pages, it will be argued that Astronomy's confidence in celestial stability is not backed by the solar eclipse record. Using the work of the astronomer Robert R. Newton [Ancient Astronomical Observations and The ...
534. Conclusion (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... The scientists make a grave mistake in not studying your book (Worlds in Collision) because of the exceedingly important material in contains. ' "In our debate, which spread over eighteen months, I drove ever closer to a point not necessary for the validation of Worlds in Collision, but of prime importance per se: the revision of celestial mechanics in the face of the accumulated data pointing to the charged state of celestial bodies. When I wrote: The real cause of indignation against my theory of global catastrophes is the implication that celestial bodies may be charged, ' he wrote in the margin: Ja' ( 'Yes'). "My understanding of the nature ...
535. Venus and the Jubilee [Journals] [Aeon]
... Velikovsky, in researching his catastrophe thesis, would look for cyclical events in the traditions of the peoples of antiquity and that he would seek to compare them. But the Israelite jubilee is a very different beast from the Maya Venus cycle. For instance: (1 ) There is no mention, not even the slightest hint, of any celestial element in the biblical account of the origin of the jubilee. The jubilee concerns itself with the usage of arable land and with the status of slaves but, other than stating that the laws were given by God to Moses, we are given no understanding as to how or why the laws relating to the jubilee came about. This ...
536. An Introduction to the Evidence of the Panchasiddhantika [Journals] [SIS Review]
... where it is more commonly referred to as the Surya Siddhanta; and it clearly differs at least slightly from the original of the same or similar name which was known to Varaha Mihira.) [* Hence its name, Pancha-Siddhantika, "[ composed] of five Siddhantas" - Eds.] The great bulk of the Panchasiddhantika deals with celestial arrangements which are essentially similar to those known at the present day. Thibaut derives various year lengths from the data cited by Varaha Mihira, for instance, and none of them are at all far removed from 365 days 6 hours. Thibaut also claims that quite a high proportion of the material in the more "modern" of these ...
537. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of the disaster were subsequently and independently re-identified with the planets, with comets, with the sun, the moon, the most conspicuous stars, and a host of other natural phenomena, in the belief that these bodies represented the true gods of the lost configuration. Hence the same gods came to be identified with many different planets and other celestial phenomena through an indirect process of symbolical representation. This is a subtle digression from the Saturnist view that the planets Mars, Venus, and Saturn were directly linked with the gods through an unbroken line of tradition - a digression which is of profound significance for a correct understanding of the nature of myth. 1 A Constructive Approach Towards the ...
538. Khima and Kesil [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Samuel was regarded as a great authority in the field of astronomy, actually as the Talmudic authority in this science. The Tractate Brakhot so explicitly points to the cause of the Deluge that, before classifying the narrative in Genesis in its entirety as folkloristic imagery (which in part it most certainly is), we ought to inquire: Which celestial body is Khima? In the rabbinical literature Khima is referred to as Mazal Khima [2 ]. Mazal is "planet". Then which planet is Khima? In the Old Testament there are several instances where Khima is mentioned. In Job (9 :5-9), the Lord is He who "removes mountains .. . ...
... hurled into Hell. The giants in the epic are related to the Scandinavian fabled city of Asgard. Geologists, tracing the effect of such a catastrophe, label it the Drift Age, and attribute it to the effects of a vast ice descent from the North Pole, but from other evidence I shall endeavour to show that it was of celestial origin and no other than the legendary Flood of Noah of the Scriptures. My object is to reconstruct this dramatic event and picture the world before it happened, as also to trace its effect upon the movements of the peoples who were caught in the vortex or who fled from the aftermath. It is my endeavour also to reveal that ...
540. sTARBABY [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... by comparing the Mars horoscopic positions of the champions Gauquelin had already collected versus the Mars horoscopic positions of all other persons (nonsports champions), the "control" group, born about the same time and place as the champions. If the control group exhibits the same hit-rate (a "hit": being born when Mars resides in celestial Sector 1 or 4) as the champions, 22%, then, clearly, sports ability has nothing to do with the Mars Effect, which is thus revealed as merely a by-product of purely natural influences. This is what the top CSICOPs expected to happen. If the nonchampions' hit-rate turns out to be what Gauquelin had said ...
