... beyond the force imagined to be able to originate in a stable system. a. Greek Zeus-Jupiter, hurling a lightning-bolt Juergens suggests that this "unreal" bolt may be all too real, a plasmoid of electricity of immense power, well beyond the bi-dental fork that represents Jovean lightning in the typical artistic sublimation. b. Zin-Chin, a Chinese Jupiter-God, the Thundermaker, hawk-like [10]. The Egyptian Horus was also hawk-like. The generally turbulent nature of Jupiter shows it to be not only a dark star, but one that may recently have undergone a nova experience. The radio activity marks still dispersing charged gases that would have been exploded and trapped in the nova of ...
332. Aster and Disaster: The Golden Age - I [Journals] [Kronos]
... ), AUREALISM Aurealism, derived from the obsolescent English adjective aureal, "golden",(17) denotes any attitude, behavior, or situation that recalls the Golden Age. Of the major philosophies and religions of the past three millennia, the one which is most explicitly and insistently aurealistic is almost certainly Taoism, the oldest of the Chinese thought-systems. In the Tao Teh Ching, the earliest Taoist scripture, Tao, "the Way Back", is described as follows: What it is What it is not immemorial modern latent patent revived invented simple complicated natural artificial easy rough soft hard pliable unyielding womanly masculine childlike officious gentle harsh peaceful militant permissive censorious accepting demanding abundant parsimonious ...
333. Chapter 14 Agronomy and Climatology [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... 12 The day on which the shortest shadow is cast at noon is the day of the summer solstice; the longest shadow at noon is cast on the day of the winter solstice. This method of determining the seasons by measuring the length of the shadows was applied in ancient China, as well as in other countries. We possess the Chinese records of the longest and shortest shadows at noontime. These records are attributed to -1100. "But the shortest and the longest shadows recorded do not really represent the true lengths at present."13 The old Chinese charts record the longest day with a duration which "does not represent the various geographical latitudes of their observatories," ...
334. The Cyclic Nature of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the time Mars was within 500,000 miles of Earth, and as close as 100,000 miles at perigee- well within the lunar orbit. The Angel-of-the-Lord motif, comparable in certain ways to the cosmic motifs of the Greek Ares, the Phoenician Baal, and the Roman Mars (to say nothing of the Maya Quetzalcoatl or the Chinese celestial dragon). The vertical orientation of the Angel of the Lord from Jerusalem, already above a range of hills. I have no doubt this was a cosmic holocaust, and right on schedule; both of these questions have long been resolved. I do wonder whether this particular incident of the October case is the same one viewed ...
335. Thoth Vol I, No. 14: May 21, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the steadfast star," the very phrase used for the pole star in virtually every ancient astronomy. Thus Manilius recounts that Saturn, in his fall, toppled to the "opposite end of the world axis." Hence his original throne could only have been atop the world axis. A stunning example of the polar Saturn is provided in Chinese astronomy, where the distant planet was called "the genie of the pivot." Saturn was believed to have his station at the pole, according to the eminent authority on Chinese astronomy, Gustav Schlegel. In the words of Leopold deSaussure, Saturn was "the planet of the center, corresponding to the emperor on earth, thus ...
336. Suns and Planets in Neolithic Rock Art [Journals] [Aeon]
... the script, however, the signs took on an increasingly abstract character (particularly in Mesopotamia, the Egyptian script generally retaining its pictographic form). The Assyrian character , for example, is known to have evolved from a Sumerian pictograph featuring a bird. (20) Recognizable amongst the earliest pictographs of the Sumerians, Egyptians, Maya and Chinese is the "solar" disc with central dot (our Figure 2). In both Egypt and China, this sign originally connoted "sun". (21) Other pictographs feature a rosette, a wheel-like disc, and the sun-disc upon a pillar, and thus resemble closely our Figures 3-5. Such correspondences support the conclusion that ...
337. The Saturn Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... with the very same forms in Mesoamerica, where the observation and worship of our sister planet formed an obsession, strongly supports the conclusion that such images have their origin in the ancient appearance of the planet. The same conclusion is supported by the fact that cultures as distant and disparate as those of the Australian Aborigines, Maya, Polynesians and Chinese described Venus by epithets signifying Great Eye', Great Star' and luminous flower'[15]. How are we to explain this curious state of affairs where Venus is associated with the very symbols seemingly depicted in prehistoric sun' images? Surely not by reference to the current solar system, for Venus does not even vaguely resemble an ...
338. Ice Core Evidence [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... have had for their arguments. It is proposed that Thera's eruption was so enormous that it cooled the temperature of the northern hemisphere, creating frost damage in California bristlecone pine trees and narrow rings in Irish oak trees. These tree stands are separated by thousands of miles. We are also expected to believe that atmospheric cooling by Theran dust disrupted Chinese civilisation thousands of miles to the east of Thera. With all this dust and sulphuric acid falling on the Greenland icecap, for some inscrutable reason the acid is found in one core but is absent in parallel cores. It is completely untenable to suggest that the ice cores reflect anything regarding Thera. There is no reasoning that will validate ...

V., et al; "Implications on Unknown Radioactivity of Giant and Dwarf Haloes in Scandinavian Rocks", Nature, 274:457-459, 1978). GEOPHYSICS ANIMAL BEHAVIOR PRIOR TO THE HAICHENG EARTHQUAKE The catastrophic Chinese Haicheng earthquake of 1975 was preceded by many reports of unusual animal behavior. Beginning in December 1974, lay observers noted dazed rats and snakes that appeared to be "frozen" to the roads. In February, reports of this type increased markedly, including observations of general restlessness and agitation of the larger animals, such as cows and ...

... which invade the frontal bone deeply, large incisors which are usually shovelled, relatively long bodies and short lower segments of the arms and legs, along with small hands and feet. " .. . Their skin color also tends to vary regionally, but not as much as in the Caucasoid subspecies. Some of them, like the southern Chinese, have very flat noses, whereas others, like the Nagas of Assam and the American Plains Indians, have aquiline ones. But these differences are minimal compared to those found in most other subspecies, and a common origin for all Mongoloids is clearly indicated." (15) But then, whence the other races? 5. ...
