... no doubt, be interpreted in Saturnian terms as "Hail to the Primordial Light in his Heaven"). As thus intoned, the resultant sound became a remarkable human vocal equivalent of the Tibetan horn chords, almost impossible to transliterate, but "Yahweh", "Yahoo", would be a reasonable approximation if pronounced as in the Chinese "Tao". Is it possible that Tibetan monks are striving both vocally and instrumentally to recreate the cosmic music of catastrophe? Can anyone with a knowledge of music history comment on this or any other facet of religious music? A second useful line of enquiry might be regarding the origins and relations of present races or groups of peoples ...
352. The Intellectual Context of Velikovsky's Thought [Articles]
... to happen, or what is potentially going to happen. We are going (for various political purposes or for reasons that have political or social meanings) toward a concept that the same incorruptible laws govern both the heavens and the earth. In fact, when a supernova occurred in the 10th or 11th century nobody could see it except the Chinese because western theology did not allow one to see a supernova as the heavens didn't change because they were so perfect. Once this humanist-protestant revolution takes place the heavens become a little less perfect and the earth becomes a little less corrupt such that you have God's laws governing both and no more catastrophes. That is what you might suppose; ...
353. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... have obtained his information from John Arbuthnot, who might have obtained it from Isaac Newton, who might have been given some stolen notes on the subject by Abate Conti, who might have stolen these notes from Gottfreid Leibniz, who might have obtained his knowledge from the Jesuit missionaries in China, who might have obtained their information from some ancient Chinese work that has since disappeared (112)- was put to rest by Moss who aptly called it "a rice-paper pagoda." (113) To Velikovsky's credit, even he finally conceded that Swift could have easily modelled his views on contemporary astronomical knowledge even though, being the old die-hard that he was, he never quite relinquished ...
354. The Golden Age and Nova of Super Saturn [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the human preoccupation with celestial behavior; they were forms of homeopathic social medicine for the "great disease". The first religions were in the broadest sense "monotheistic."[92] Heaven was worshipped as the active power. As we set forth earlier, from the very beginning, humans have tended towards a supreme god. The Chinese, with T'ien, may have been the most persistent in abstracting a monotheistic idea from the Heavens and using it through a succession of specifically powerful heavenly forces. The I Ching gives this sequence: the First Principle is Heaven (T'ien) eternally present, chaos without form; the Second Principle and First Sun, giver of time, ...

... . I consider this Hapgood's best example of ancient knowledge of accurate determination of longitude, an achievement normally credited to Europe in the last half of the 18th century (an accurate chronometer was developed just in time for Captain Cook to make excellent charts). The May-June 1992 issue of Equinox, a Canadian bimonthly periodical, documents that the odd Chinese tradition of carving maps on stone dates back to at least 100 AD. Hapgood analyzed 34 localities shown on the 1137 map of China, mostly the confluence of major rivers, and found that positional errors were only 0.5 to 1.0 degrees, whether latitude or longitude, with the high standards of the ancients not varying ...
356. The Hunting Or Blitzkrieg Theory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... populations require more, not less killing to fulfill their dietary needs. To put this into greater perspective, all one need do is to realize that elephants also lived in Southern China while mammoths lived in northern China during the Pleistocene. According to Sanderson: "About forty years ago some scholars, engaged in deciphering and interpreting certain very early Chinese texts, believed they had discovered statements indicating that wild rhinoceroses and elephants were still alive in northern China until historical times.... [H . T.] Chang, in 1926, delved further into these matters. He found that although Abu [elephants] seemed to have disappeared from northern China before the Neolithic or late ...
357. Homer in the Baltic [Journals] [Aeon]
... This dating provides us with yet another confirmation of the close relationship between the decline of the "climatic optimum" and the Indo-European diaspora from Scandinavia and other northern regions. In this picture, it is amazing that the Bronze Age starts in China just between the 18th and 16th centuries bc (Shang dynasty). We should note that the Chinese pictograph indicating the king is called "wang," which is very similar to the Homeric term "anax," i.e ., "the king" (corresponding to "wanax" in Mycenaean Linear B tablets). Yet, the terms "Yin" and "Yang," which expresses the two complementary principles of ...
358. Comalcalco: A Case for Early Pre-Columbian Contact and Influence? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that amongst the inscriptions a small percentage contained elements which seemed to stem from an Old World source. In 1983 the Foundation for Research on Early America arranged to have the bricks photographed and these were shown to Barry Fell of America's Epigraphic Society. Fell claimed to detect a variety of Old World scripts on some of the bricks, ranging from Chinese to Phoenician. Some important points should be mentioned for those not familiar with Fell's work. He gave enormous impetus to the idea that early America was visited by seafaring people bearing cultural baggage. In a series of books, papers and journals, Fell theorised that the Americas had been visited by Old World peoples in great numbers over a ...
359. Pandemonium [Books] [de Grazia books]
... epic: "Loud did the firmament roar, and earth with echo resounded." Hesiod's Theogony: the huge Earth groaned when Zeus lashed Typhon with his bolts - "the earth resounded terribly, and the wide heaven above." Velikovsky pursues the name Yahweh elsewhere: he finds Jo, Jove (Jupiter); Yahou, Yao (Chinese emperor of the age); Ju Ju huwe, (an Indonesian invocation to heavenly bodies): Yahou, Yo (in the Hebrew Bible); Yao, Yaotl (ancient Mexico); Yahu (ejaculation of the Puget Sound Indians and other Amer-lndians when they performed the ritual of raising up the fallen sky off the earth) ...
360. Site Destructions and Discontinuities in the Bronze Age [Articles]
... beyond of what Thera could have done, we'll be talking about Thera a minute later, the volcanic island that blew up, that wrecked Thera and probably the Minoan culture.- This is a map they did for me at the Center of Earth and Planetary Studies in Washington, this is An Yang, I wanted to see if the Chinese Bronze Age, which also disappeared, and the Indonesian Bronze Age, had perhaps seismic explanations. So I asked them at this Center if they could get these maps, and it is quite clear that the Early Bronze Age in China was not destroyed by seismic activity, they don't say it was, what they say is that when ...
