... . It is as certain as any other proposition of science, that, were an asteroid or comet of modest size to strike the globe, astronomy would promptly become astrology, meteorology divination, biology creationist, politics catastrophic, and theology revivalist. Evidence for this statement is strewn among all writings on the effects upon humans of close-in and crashing celestial bodies. This divinity, perhaps the same, perhaps another, is known not only by celestial or other natural apparitions; it is also manifested in ways that will be demonstrated in chapter 3. The god is as prompt to appear as religion itself, inevitable in the primeval mind, as culture, too, is prompt to appear ...
... amulet, as well as a sacred symbol. Dr. H, Colley March, in his learned paper on the "Fylfot and the Futhore Tir,"39 thinks the Swastika had no relation to fire or fire making or the fire god. His theory is that it symbolized axial motion and not merely gyration; that it represented the celestial pole, the axis of the heavens around which revolve the stars of the firiuainent. This appearance of rotation is most impressive in the constellation of the Great Bear. About four thousand years ago the apparent pivot of rotation was at a Draconis, much nearer the Great Bear than now, and at that time the rapid circular sweep must ...

654. The Origin and Decay of the Earth's Geomagnetic Field [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... hours. Thus some flybys were closer than others. The ancient Romans called the March 21 flyby day the "tubulustrium"; the Hebrews called it the "passover." The Romans called the late October flyby day the "armilustrium"; the Hebrews held the somber feast of the atonement. The tubulustrium and armilustrium were somber anniversaries with celestial imagery. This is an extremely brief analysis of the catastrophic orbit which Mars exhibited between 10,000 B.C . and 701 B.C . The Current Orbit. Mars went out of orbital resonance with the Earth, and with Jupiter, because of the geometric details of the March 20-21, 701 B.C . flyby ...

... thus be pulled to pieces. There are two main theories for the formation of the planets. Immanuel Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision, pp. 7-12 sums them up in the following. "All theories of the origin of the planetary system and the motive forces that sustain the motion of its members go back to the gravitational theory and the celestial mechanics of Newton. The sun attracts the planets, and if it were not for a second urge, they would fall into the sun; but each planet is impelled by its momentum to proceed in a direction away from the sun, and as a result, an orbit is formed. Similarly, a satellite or a moon is ...
656. Beliefs Connected with the Cross and the Swastika [Books]
... there were gates and doors on the earth. It should not be assumed in this connexion, however, that the "world-tree "of Egyptian, Hindu, Scandinavian and other mythologies was necessarily earlier than the posts or pillars of the cardinal points. The tree did not probably come into prominence before it had been deified and connected with the Celestial cow. Nor was the cow placed in the sky before it had been domesticated and deified and connected with the sky-goddess Nut. After the early artisans had constructed habitations for themselves, they imagined that the sky roof was supported by posts or pillars. The idea that there was but one pillar may go back to the time when the ...
657. Independent Confirmation of a Catastrophic Event [Journals] [SIS Review]
... perhaps thought to be originating in the Pleiades region. This would identify the objects as Taurid meteoroids, which have the Pleiades as their radiant. The behaviour of the Sarasvati river: there is an extensive description of the activity of Sarasvati, both as a goddess and as a river. The Sarasvati existed terrestrially as well as being described as celestial (the Ganga was also described as both). Iyengar reports that, in the literature, the river changed its direction of flow frequently (at one point, the west-flowing river suddenly flowed eastward), it went underground a number of times, it had five or six tributaries at one time or another, it was described as ...
658. "Cenocatastrophism" [Articles]
... each culture's myth-system as a whole, within which specifically catastrophic material can be located. The reason this effort is lacking in Worlds in Collision is obvious enough; Velikovsky was concerned to dramatize the parallel configuration of elements in myth-systems of cultures all around the globe, elements supposedly meaningless in isolation but which leap alive when interpreted as accounts of actual celestial havoc. There was clearly not room in a single book to give a holistic account of each of the myth-systems of the many cultures being called upon. But it has to be admitted that to draw selectively on these complex systems is to borrow credence. This credence will not be consolidated until many further books are written on separate myth-systems ...
659. Horizons [Journals] [SIS Review]
... writers of this issue examine the astronomical "Medicine Wheels" of the Plains Indians; apparent supernova records in early American petroglyphs; the earliest astronomical instruments (shadow-clocks, astrolabes, sundials from both hemispheres); the enigmatic legends, ancient and modern, concerning Sirius; the astronomical features of Stonehenge; the (suggested) terrestrial origins of the celestial Gorgon myth, and the possible celestial origins of the supposedly terrestrial Atlantis tradition. A fascinating, entertaining and informative issue which should stimulate readers to (as the Editors put it) "recapture the excitement of discovery" - and possibly research alternative explanations. \cdrom\pubs\journals\review\v0302\37horiz.htm ...
660. Some Implications of Saunders' Lunar Hypothesis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the Hopi? Saunders states that Stone L19 shows a double- and a large single-spiral near the top, and two double-spirals near the base, those at the bottom being observational depictions and those at the top artistic renderings' [1 , appendix B]. If a double-spiral represents the observed motion of the Moon passing over Earth's north celestial pole - or as the north celestial polar axis passed through the Moon - the lower pair of double-spirals record two c. 180 degree motions, each being that part of a 360 degree turn visible from Newgrange. It suggests that one multiple roll-over of the Earth could underlie the Egyptian priests' tale of four solar reversals, a Hopi ...
