... especially Palestine, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greece. Although he presented an impressive-appearing concordance of tales and artifacts from around the world, he devoted relatively little attention to the systematic evaluation of the history of any culture outside the main Western tradition. He did, however, suggest (Velikovsky 1950:100-104) that the reign of the legendary Chinese emperor Yao (T'ang Ti Yao, traditionally dated to the twenty-fourth century B.C .) coincided with the Venus disasters.[1 ] On the other hand, the Saturnists- especially Steve Talbott and Ev Cochrane- have tended to be more ahistorical and less euhemeristic than Velikovsky. In their view, the various legendary founder-kings such ...
22. On Number as Artifact (Part 3: Conclusion) [Journals] [Horus]
... of overlap was not to be denied, but metaphorically the concept of closure had to be honored. We have already seen in Peruvian culture a way in which there can be 13 lunar months in a year. It occurs if one observes, not the synodic month, but rather the sidereal month of between 27 and 28 days. The Chinese established a system of 28 1unar mansions" or hsiu in accordance with the sidereal month idea, although there is nowhere near the evidence of Chinese interest in 13 that one finds in the Western hemisphere. But the Chinese had a saying that may shed some light: "The pitchpipes and the calendar give each other a mutual order, ...
23. More on Jonathan Swift abd the Moons of Mars (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... findings of Charles McDowell (" Catastrophism and Puritan Thought", Symposium on Creation VI, ed. Donald W. Patten, pp. 57-90). Dr. John Arbuthnot was appointed by Newton to resolve the claims and counterclaims of Newton and Leibniz on the invention of calculus and the understanding of cosmology. Leibniz had a direct pipeline to Chinese data through the Jesuits. At that time in China, Chinese scholars were investigating their own data from antiquity. McDowell found evidence that some of Leibniz' data may have been filched after his death, and possibly found their way into Newton's files. McDowell suggests that the part of Swift's work which deals with the astronomers of Laputa was ...
24. Paired Sets in the Hebrew Alphabet [Journals] [Aeon]
... idu, strength, ' to know'; Hebrew cognate meanings strength, ' power, ' the hand of the Lord', a sign, ' to assign to, ' custody- into the hand of, ' to be skilled, ' to know how, ' to handle'." (17) Moran, who compared Chinese lunar stations with the letters of the alphabet, has argued that letters of the alphabet derive from a lunar zodiac. In doing so, he drew attention to the fact that alphabetic aleph, "bull," beth, "house," "woman," and tsade, "arrow," correspond serially and numerically, with ...
25. Tektites and China's Dragon [Journals] [Kronos]
... , Dr. Sutherland presented some evidence in support of Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky's identification of the dragon as the proto-planet Venus when, around 1500 B.C ., this heavenly body plagued the Earth in the form of a newly-born comet. In presenting his evidence, Sutherland relied exclusively on the dragon form as it evolved through the years in Chinese art. He was able to conclude, among other things, that the dragon in Chinese art did not go back further than 1500 B.C . and that it probably originated then. The article was well researched but it could have been strengthened by the inclusion of data concerning comets, other than the proto-planet Venus, which have ...

... catastrophe. Among the occupants of this remote home, some say, were "First Man" and "First Woman." Most interesting is the means by which the land was watered: "In its centre was a spring from which four streams flowed, one to each of the cardinal points .. ." (3 ) The Chinese paradise of Kwen-lun, adorned with pearls, jade, and precious stones, lay at the centre and zenith of the world. In this happy abode stood a central fountain from which flowed "in opposite directions (4 ) the four great rivers of the world." (5 ) Four rivers appear also in the Hindu Rig Veda ...
27. Emperor Yahou, Part 1 Venus Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Emperor Yahou The history of China is commonly supposed to extend back to grey antiquity. But in reality the sources of the ancient period of the Chinese past are very scanty, for they were destroyed by the Emperor Tsin-chi-hoang (246-209 before the present era). He ordered all books on history and astronomy, as well as works of classic literature, to be burned. Search for these books was made throughout the empire for this purpose. The story persists that a few remnants of the old literature were again put into writing from the memory of an old man; some were said ...
... front the corners (fig, 14), Burnouf says the above sign has many signications. It is a sacred temple or edifice, a species of labyrinth, a garden of diamonds, a chain, a golden waist or shoulder belt, and a conique with spires turning to the right. Colonel Sykes7 concludes that, according to the Chinese authorities Fa-hian, Soung Young, Hiuan thsang, the "Doctors of reason, ' Tao-sse, or followers of the mystic cross T were diffused in China and India before the advent of Sakya in the sixth century B.C . (according to Cbinese, Japanese,and Buddhist authorities,the eleventh century B.C .) ...
29. The Birth and Odyssey of Halley's Comet: From 2484 B.C. to the Present Time [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... answers to a scientific question, the most simple and direct answer is probably the correct one. The above data have logical ramifications that should quicken the heartbeat of the curious and will "blow the socks off" the cautious uniformitarian! The History of Halley's Comet, Part I The presence of Halley's Comet has been documented for 2200 years in Chinese astronomical charts. Years of appearances of comets were noted, and every appearance of Halley's Comet, except two since 239 B.C ., is entered on those astronomical charts and accounts.[1 ] Earlier, Halley's Comet made an appearance about 544 B.C ., while Daniel (in Babylon) was a student of ...

... being the Axis from Hatori Nakatsune and Dr. Warren14 cites Sir F. Reed. It would be extremely interesting if we could consider this to be an indigenous idea; but it must not be forgotten that there was one important modern source of information as to Western Ptolemaic Astronomy which was doubtless open to Hirata, in the treatises written in Chinese by the Jesuit Missionaries to China, by Sabatin de Ursis in 1611 and Emmanuel Diaz in 1614, and by others later.15 Hirata too may have acquired at Nagasaki some further tincture of Western learning. Another case of creation by the spear is the achievement of Athens when she struck the ground and brought forth the Olive. Here ...
