... . As Lydus himself stated, the knowledge he imparted still preserved "a trace of the ancient belief." The fact that Janus and Saturnus were separate deities has nothing to do with the issue. As has been recognized by others, there is nothing strange about having different deities, even within the same pantheon, as personifying the same celestial object. This was succinctly stated by Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend through the following words: "The real actors on the stage of the universe are few, if their adventures are many. The most ancient treasure'- in Aristotle's word- that was left to us by our predecessors of the High and Far Off Times ...
... spanning the globe. In South America, where bulls were still unknown, the Arawaks, the Tupi, the Quechua of Ecuador spoke of the "jaw of the tapir," which was connected with the great god, Hunrakán, the hurricane, who certainly knows how to slay his thousands. In our sky, the name of the celestial Samson is Orion, the mighty hunter, alias Nimrod. He remains such even in China as "War Lord Tsan," the huntmaster of the autumn hunt, but the Hyades are changed there into a net for catching birds. In Cambodia, Orion himself became a trap for tigers; in Borneo, tigers not being available, ...
673. The Two Faces of Love [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Athena, we are disappointed. Homer does not say that the three sky bodies - planet mars, Moon, and planet Venus are represented by them, not in the Iliad, nor the Odyssey, nor in the Love Affair. How then are we to assure ourselves that we are on the right track when we allocate among them several celestial bodies? We cannot be certain - not now, nor in ancient times, if we follow the record. Our difficult task of astral-mythical correlation is to be made even harder by the requirement that we show that Aphrodite in the Love Affair is, if not certainly, then most likely, the Moon. However, we shall proceed ...
674. The Reforming Of The Calendar, Part 2 Mars Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... could these men, employed for that very purpose, have made the egregious mist akes recorded in the tablets, and carried these mistakes over into systems in which the movements of the sun, the moon, and the five planets were recorded with repetitions at regular intervals, these movements and intervals being consistently different fro m those of the present celestial order? How could the stargazers who composed the earlier tablets be so careless as to maintain that the year is 360 days long, a mistake that in six years accumulates to a full month of divergence; or how could the astrono mers of the royal observatories announce to the king the movements of the moon and its phases on wrong ...
... News, January 1, 1926.) It probably was! Had it been in the vicinity of Ottawa the citizens would have had good cause to be aware of the fact. But what was this meteor? We shall have reason to see in due course that this earth of ours comes considerably closer to being shattered by collision with some celestial body than most of us suppose. Maybe it is best to remain in ignorance, and bliss, and folly to be wise in these matters. The Ottawa meteor may have been the parent of the following meteorites. The next seismic event of 1926 worthy of mention was on May 24, when Mount Iwo, Hokkaido, Japan, ...

677. Velikovsky's Legacy [Articles]
... we explored, we found the same bizarre references to a once great but now lost sun-god-Saturn-and his beloved consort-Venus-the latter of whom deserted her companion and threatened to destroy the world. All told, a wealth of evidence suggests that at a relatively recent date (certainly within the last 5-10,000 years), Venus participated in a very unusual celestial configuration, one which found the Cytherean planet positioned between Saturn and the Earth, whereby it presented the appearance of a central, luminous "eye" set within the borders of the larger gas giant. It was the departure of Venus from its axial location vis a vis Saturn which precipitated (or was a consequence of) a spectacular ...
678. The 108-year Cyclicism of the Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Aeon]
... the best, then we are facing the issue that one planet, and one planet only, was assaulting the Earth at the March 21 location, across many centuries, and across a number of millennia. (What is that number of catastrophic millennia? In a later step, this issue will be addressed.) The Greeks identified the celestial assaulter as Ares and/or Apollo. The Romans identified it as Mars. The Hebrews identified it variously as the angel of the Lord, the pillar of fire by night and the cloud by day, the bosom of destruction, behemoth, leviathan, the fighting star, the destructive cherub, Mazzaroth, and "ma'ayish" which ...

... level changes, axial tilts, geographic reversals, rotational despin-respin, cosmic electricity and the electric star model, planetary alignments and radio reception, geomagnetism, the cooling of Venus, radiohalos, plate tectonics, and ice age dynamics. WILD MOTIONS: One of the first criticisms of Worlds in Collision was that the orbital changes violated the laws of celestial mechanics. Several papers in Pensee dealt with this issue, showing this was not necessarily so, but that there were unresolved problems, especially with circularization and energy disposal. Regarding the latter, the pre-Exodus orbits of Venus, Earth, Mars and Jupiter possess a lot more energy than the present ones, which implies that during the transition ...
680. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 40 years. Thus, the Bible fundamentalist date of Solomon carries no real weight in scholarly circles; (ii) an archaeology for Solomon could never be established beyond doubt. He is either a nostrified character taken from other ancient Near Eastern writings - e.g ., well accessible royal inscriptions - and/or an anthropomorphisation of a celestial deity; (iii) the sequence of events and characters in the Bible cannot be taken as a historical sequence. This is not due to any intention of the bible compilers to falsify the true record but to the lack of any means - like stratigraphy or reliable handbooks - to check the correct chronological order of things. The Hebrew ...
