... - there is agreement as to their form and nature: they are monstrous, reptilian; frequently they have wings and webbed feet; they are of a malevolent disposition, and they breathe fire. "Was the dragon a dim race-memory of an actual animal who lived in the now mythical past..." mused a distinguished student of Chinese art.(7 ) We can fairly safely assume that at no time did Jupiter or Venus present such a clear form; so there must have been some other model for the artist. The possibility that such a model might exist was pursued by Dr Bernard Heuvelmans, who discussed over 600 reputed sightings of sea monsters in his book ...
402. Poleshift [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... the Yang-Shao culture, points out that the fauna that existed at Ban Po near Sian found in excavations, were subtropical animals that do not thrive in that far northern area, clearly showing that the climate was much warmer and more pluvial. These subtropical animals include water deer, tapirs, and bamboo rats. He also shows that these ancient Chinese people grew millet and vegetables, but not rice. Although millet can withstand drier and more variable seasonal climate conditions than rice, which grows only a little beyond the tropics, rice will only grow and thrive where there is a long, hot growing season.51 Chu Ko-Chen further suggested that the bamboo also migrated south after Yang-Shao times ...
403. The Demands of the Saturnian Configuration Theory [Journals] [Aeon]
... ," has the additional meaning of "year" but also "time." [13] So similarly in Egypt where the word thera, which means "year," also means "time." [14] Even Macrobius spoke of a primordial period of chaos during which "no time existed." [15] The Chinese Compendium of Wong-shi-Shing tells of the same age during which "the day and night had not yet been divided." [16] I could go on supplying one record after another, but this is not the place for it. All I wish to stress here is the fact that the first demand raised by our interpretation of the ...
404. Maya Cosmos: A Saturnian Interpretation (Part II) [Journals] [Aeon]
... of the outfits of war from Teotihuacan after they received emissaries from that Mexican state in the fifth century (see Figure 9). It is easy to see Saturnian imagery in these standards, especially in the feather-rimmed disks, ball, and shaft. The centre one of the three shown in the accompanying diagram includes a Mesoamerican version of the Chinese yin-yang symbol within its disk, most likely a motif from the time when Venus and Mars "chased" each other around the column and in front of Saturn's face, as seen from Earth. Figure 10 shows a portion of a carved pot from Tikal that shows this emissary group from Teotihuacan. The persons shown are the Maya hosts ...
405. Velikovsky in America [Journals] [Aeon]
... meteorites could theoretically cause a disturbance in the Earth's rotation, Velikovsky reasoned that the combination of events was not poetic fancy. He also realized that if the sun seemed to remain in the sky over Palestine then there would have been a simultaneous prolonged twilight in China and an extended night in America. (28) A cursory library search of Chinese and Mesoamerican legends confirmed the conditions he sought. But the Mexican accounts rather strangely connected large-scale periodic natural catastrophes with the planet Venus. Intrigued, he consulted with Franz Boas. Boas held firmly to the doctrine that superficially similar tales, customs, artifacts, etc., often derived from very different conditions and premises and that the mere ...
406. The Sacred Theory of the Earth by Dr. Thomas Burnet [Books]
... gone thro' the Earth, and there are records or traditions concerning it, in all parts of this and the new-found World. The Americans do acknowledge and speak of it in their continent, as Acosta (9 )( Mart.)witnesseth, and Laet (9 )( Mart.) in their histories of them. The Chineses have the tradition of it, which is the farthest part of our continent; and the nearer and western parts of Asia are acknowledg'd the proper seat of it; Not to mention Deucalion's Deluge in the European parts, which seems to be the same under a disguise: so as you may trace the Deluge quite round the Globe in ...
407. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , Boulanger also wrote L'Antiquité dévoilée par ses usages, ou examen critique des principales opinions, cérémonies et institutions religieuses et politiques des différents peuples de la terre (Amsterdam, 1766). In this work he analyzed the cosmogonies and mythologies of several farspread peoples of the Earth, such as Germans, Greeks, Jews, Arabs, Hindus, Chinese, Japanese, Peruvians, Mexicans, and Caribs, concluding that rites, ceremonials, and myths reflect the fact that the human race was subjected to a series of cosmic convulsions for which he also considered the geological and paleontological evidence. He argued that these catastrophes shaped the human mind, causing among other things a deepseated psychological trauma: ...
408. Velikovsky and his Critics by Shane Mage [Books]
... the end of the year, as days over the year' or days of nothing. ' "Scholars who investigated the calendars of the Incas of Peru and the Mayas of Yucatan wondered at the calendar of 360 days: so did the scholars who studied the calendars of the Egyptians, Persians. Hindus. Chaldeans. Assyrians. Hebrews. Chinese. Greeks. or Romans Most of them, while debating the problem in their own field,.did not suspect that the same problem turned up in the calendar of every nation of antiquity." (Worlds in Collision, p 341) The logic of the Velikovskian case is here at its most compelling. Both sides agree that ...
409. The Opening Of The Mouth Ritual - Part I [Journals] [Aeon]
... day is fixed and only after the vivification ritual does the painter complete the eyes in swift sure strokes." [150] Thankas are not normally signed since the "act of creation is considered to be divine with the artist simply serving as a mortal instrument." China "Draw the dragons, dot the eyes." - a Chinese proverb. Every June, in my home town of Vancouver, Canada, there is a Dragon Boat Festival. Originally a 2,000-plus year-old Chinese tradition, the "Duan Wu Festival" involves the racing of long narrow open boats that hold about twenty paddlers, a helmsman, and a drummer. They are called dragon boats because ...
410. The Papyrus Ipuwer, Egyptian Version Of The Plagues - A New Perspective [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... in the east. This westward rising had serious ramifications. Hans S. Bellamy noted that "The Aztecs regarded the west as the chief cardinal point. We regard the east as the most important direction, chief because the sun rises there. The sunset cannot have been the reason for their `occidation' .. .. "The Chinese say that it is only since the new order of things has come that the stars move from east to west. After the breakdown of the Tertiary satellite the shooting-star streams had rushed over the heavens from west to east. It should also be noted that the signs of the Chinese zodiac have the strange peculiarity of proceeding in a retrograde ...
