... 8 ) and are therefore baseless. Many later dates, on the other hand, synchronize to the day with Biblical and Egyptian records, and there is no single ancient document which dates each episode in the most recent series of catastrophes more meticulously than the Spring and Autumn Annals, beginning with the year -776. Again like the Egyptian, Chinese remote antiquity is divided into three major phases, the Hsia, Shang and Chou dynasties. Whether the breaks between them are in each case to be coordinated with global catastrophes is a problem which the stratigraphist and the historian should together be able to solve. India has no such detailed historiography, but the combination of myth and history in ...
372. "Just Plainly Wrong": A Critique of Peter Huber (Second Installment) [Journals] [Kronos]
... the so-called Spring and Autumn Annals. According to James Legge, the original translator of much of this ancient material into English, the Spring and Autumn Annals in its present form can be definitely traced no farther back than about twenty-one centuries; even so, much editing and some inserting of additional items seems to have occurred (see Legge's The Chinese Classics, Volume V, Part I, "The Prolegomena", pages 6ff. and 16ff.). The question that must be asked regarding such alleged eclipses is, were they really observed as reported or were they retrocalculated? It seems clear that a great many such reports are simply retrocalculations. Even R. R. Newton ...
373. The Area of Origin [Books]
... of the Aryan race. It is found, in fact, among all the peoples of the Indo-European branch, whilst it is completely absent among the Egyptians, the Chaldaens, the Assyrians, and even the Phoenicians, although these latter were not very scrupulous in borrowing the ornaments and symbols of their neighbours. As for the Tibetans, the Chinese and the Japanese, amongst whom it is neither less frequent nor less venerated, it is not difficult to prove that it must have come to them, with Buddhism, from India. In the extreme East, the origin of the gammadion can be traced without difficulty to the swastika of India (Ibid. p.79.) ...
374. The Stream Surrounding the Earth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Llion, which swallows all the water that flows into it at the tide of flood, without any visible increase; but at the tide of ebb, it swells up like a mountain, and pours its waters over the banks, so that whoever stands near it at this time, must run the risk of being overwhelmed'. In Chinese mythology, Heaven is beyond earth, and water is beyond heaven. The water floats heaven and carries the earth. The celestial hemisphere and the disc of the earth both swim on the ocean encircling the earth and extending beyond the sky'. The Greek Oceanus is the swift flowing river that encircles the world. Nonnus in his Dionysiaca ...
375. East and West, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... where it formerly rose."(29) The traditions of peoples agree in synchronizing the changes in the movement of the sun with great catastrophes which terminated world ages. The changes in the movement of the sun in each successive age make the use by many peoples of the term "sun" for "age" understandable. "The Chinese say that it is only since a new order of things has come about that the stars move from east to west."(30) "The signs of the Chinese zodiac have the strange peculiarity of proceeding in a retrograde direction, that is, against the course of the sun."(31) In the Syrian city ...
... Bernhardi, "Vier Konige," BA 19 (1936), pp. 17If. See J. Needham, Science and Civilization in China, vol. 4, Pt. I: Physics (1962), p. 325, about a book on chess published in 1571 under the title Uranomachia seu Astrologorum Ludus.] whereas the Chinese chessboard shows the Milky Way dividing the two camps. Which goes to show that the Icelanders knew what they were talking about. Finally, there is one remarkable and disturbing coincidence from the same direction. It is known that in the final battle of the gods, the massed legions on the side of "order" are the dead ...
377. Homo Schizo Meets God [Books] [de Grazia books]
... to the caves and clefts, as the premonition of disaster came to them.( cf. W. in C. 212-3). Deg's Journal, Oct. 10, 1972 I showed Sebastian several pages of V. dealing with ancient China. He was moderately impressed. I asked about Tao. Sebastian holds the unconventional belief that the Chinese notion of heaven' is animated. It is a Being. I have that hook to hold on to. What set me to thinking was this: Tao seems like a refutation of catastrophism; no bloody gods. But in the beginning it relates the stories of heavenly conflicts. I was baffled. Tao seems so benign, calm ...
378. Ice Cores and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Ice Cores Over the last two decades a new and exciting tool has appeared which offers a possibility of firm dating. Like most good things in life this was a spin off from war - actually the Cold War. The Americans wanted to know what atomic weapons the Russians were testing in Siberia and, for that matter, what the Chinese were up to as well. It so happens that when there is an atomic explosion deuterium is produced and ejected into the upper atmosphere. As the earth is spinning at the rate of some 24,000 miles a day at the Equator, and nil at the two Poles, this deuterium together with dust, volcanic ash, rare ...
379. Cheers and Hisses [Books] [de Grazia books]
... loose some pieces. As we shall see, Mankind in Amnesia is not much as a book, but would have appeared gracefully and appropriately as articles in Kronos. Meanwhile Kronos was weakened by its top-heavy reliance upon Velikovsky's case. When the magazine was very young, Deg had proposed, in a fateful meeting of several cosmic heretics in a Chinese restaurant of Philadelphia, that the magazine "go public." It should define its mission in general terms and seek a wider audience. Greenberg, whose paranoiac outlook he was the first to confess, felt threatened and drew back. Deg, who should have pursued his aim more gently and privately, let it drop, and hardly ...

(Note the general compatibility of the time of year of the incident of heaven devouring the Moon and the start of the Era of Nabonassar.) 15. Thoth I Egyptian = February 11 Julian, from -687 to -684. 16. Phaophi 11 Egyptian = sin mao of the Chinese cycle = March 23 Julian = March 16 Gregorian, -686. (See Worlds in Collision, page 234.) 17.
