... structures range in type from the rude cromlech of Stonehenge in England to the sharply delineated pyramid of Cheops in Egypt. Beyond a general impression that megaliths have both astronomical and religious significance, there is little agreement about them. The effort that went into erecting them, however, was clearly immense. They were probably intended both to help anticipate celestial disturbances and to outlast those disturbances. Another tantalizing protohistoric phenomenon is the existence, throughout the Americas, of fragmentary evidence suggesting both trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific contact between the two hemispheres before the time of Scandinavian and Iberian settlement. This evidence consists of Canaanite inscriptions, Roman coins, Oceanian crops, bas-reliefs of elephants and, above all, representations ...
572. Catastrophe and Sublimation [Books] [de Grazia books]
... addition, archeology has disclosed periods of total and simultaneous devastation of existing civilizations in areas stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to China, and from Mexico to Peru. 5. Wherever symbolic and linguistic evidence is available, and usually also where only oral traditions are preserved, the catastrophes suffered on Earth and by humanity were attributed to changes in the celestial system, and particularly to Ouranos (the Sky), the planets Saturn, Jupiter, Apollo (now transmuted beyond ready identification), Mercury, Venus, and Mars. The latest catastrophes are associated with the erratic and destructive behavior of Mars in the years 776 to 687 B.C ., ending that is, 2662 years ...
... so called, to which I shall have to refer briefly. The temple was pointed within a few degrees of north; at the north-east corner of the zodiac is a device, since found to represent the sunlight falling upon a statue of the Goddess of the Shrine. Investigations have shown that the zodiac includes a reference to a great many celestial phenomena of the utmost importance. There is no difficulty in recognising some of the zodiacal signs, but there the resemblance to the modern zodiac ends, for the reason that each of the strange processions of mythological personages represents not only constellations, with some of which we may be familiar, but a great deal more. It is noteworthy ...
574. Shamash and Sin [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Sin was merely the crescent' [9 ]. What is even more telling is that Sin is sometimes depicted in a position which, as seen from Earth, is impossible for the lunar crescent to achieve under present conditions - and that is with the cusps pointing down or, in other words, upside down [10]. What celestial body other than the Moon could have appeared in the form of a crescent? One is, of course, immediately reminded of the horns of Venus, frequently mentioned in Babylonian texts and which, contrary to popular opinion, can actually be detected in clear skies with 20/10 acuity unaided eyes [11]. However whilst the ...
575. Forget Amnesia [Journals] [Aeon]
... much of a memory aid, humanists wished to have independent thinking supplant rote learning. When modern, anti-authoritarian culture triumphed, the old rote memory system withered along with the antiquated religion cast aside. More to the point, a clash of worldviews during the time of Pericles moved Greek culture to discard its catastrophic history. Traditional religious belief in celestial gods was opposed and undermined by rational philosophical inquiry. Philosophers are explaining away the gods, reactionaries charged. In the ensuing skirmishes, Anaxagoras was jailed (432 BC) and Protagoras exiled (411 BC). Eventually "reason" prevailed, at least among the educated elite. They looked upon eclip-ses, for example, as a ...

... ), the artifacts of the Indus Valley civilization, Greece, Rome, and elsewhere in the ancient world, down to its use in Jewish synagogues. It sheds insight on its occultist use by various secret societies and its eventual infiltration into Hitler¹s Nazi regime. It also includes an important section on the origin of the emblem as a primeval celestial apparition and its association with the Saturnian configuration. A work of art, erudition, and original insights - a must. "The exposition and writing [of this book] are clear and orderly, and the documentation is massive and convincing. The subject matter itself is extremely important, and has badly needed the in-depth treatment that Lewis ...
577. Stonehenge - A Calendar? (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... ground, according to some researchers, lending credence to a possible religious significance to the event (discarding the name applied to the Stone). I question any attempt to make Stonehenge a calendar. The basic reasons for having a calendar by such early people must have been to predict seasons and eclipses. Stonehenge does seem to be aligned with celestial indicators of the four main seasons; that is to be expected of farmers, herders, and sea navigators. However, hundreds of years of recorded observation went into compiling the first astronomical/astrological handbooks of Mesopotamia. Precision enough to predict eclipses did not arrive to the Babylonians until about 600 B.C . The Maya, in ...

... that once constituted the Saturnian configuration. I have therefore decided to concentrate on the two most important bodies of the alignment - namely Saturn and the earth itself. .. . THE AGE OF DARKNESS My version of the Saturnian scenario posits that man's earliest memory of the sky above him was one in which the planet Saturn was the only visible celestial body which was seen looming large in the sky in an all-pervading darkness- an endless night. One of the most persistent of beliefs among the civilizations of the ancient nations .. . is that during a time usually remembered as the beginning' Earth had been engulfed in darkness. Time and again .. . we are told that ...
579. The Origin And Evolution Of Stars [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... the other wave lengths this protostar may have emissions that are far greater than even the brightest stars. Based on Electro-Gravitic Theory, such protostars should necessarily rotate even more rapidly than the brightest stars on the main sequence. By retrocalculation prior to becoming a protostar, the body from which it evolved should possess even greater rotational velocity. The only celestial star-like objects that conform with this analysis are collapsed bodies called white dwarf stars that would be among the slowest rotators in this class. Further, white dwarf stars possess magnetic fields measured in the millions of gauss and rotational rates measured in seconds. A white dwarf star about the size of the Earth can rotate in about one second, ...
... lever, ô Hathor, et au lever de Ra." [3 ] Everybody knows that " ' Ra " means the sun, and therefore the rising of Ra is at once accepted by everybody as obviously meaning sunrise. But if we find "Hathor " treated in the same way as the sun, then Hathor must be a celestial body rising like the sun. I consider this a very important conclusion to arrive at, for many reasons. Ruins of the Mamisi (Place of Birth) or Temple of Isis at Denderah But, further, Hathor was also worshipped, according to the inscriptions [4 ] under the name of Sothis. Now we know, quite ...
