... 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 ...

413. From Myth to a Physical Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... a part of the spectacular configuration, and 2) the Sun participated in the configuration from a distance, in the sense that the light from the Sun produced highly visible and definitive effects. In the earliest remembered age the creator-king and heaven are synonymous. Sumerian An, Babylonian Anu, Egyptian Atum-Ra, Greek Uranos-Kronos, Hindu Varuna. The Chinese Tien is both god and "heaven." Sanskrit dyaus (Latin deus) carries the double meaning "god" and "heaven." Among the Zoroastrians heaven originally took the form of the great sphere called Spihr, the body of Zurvan, ruler of the Golden Age. The Lapps speak of the ancient Waralden Olmay or " ...
414. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Four [Books]
... the true value of some ancient accounts' of an abnormally bright Venus (eg Chaldean diamond' on WIC p.165; Ejoochow Chart on WIC p.166). Of course, though Moses' face could be an interesting counter- example for some of V's evidence', we must also beware of dismissing a Chaldean or a Chinese statement on the basis of a Jewish one. The two may not be of the same type at all. As regards the involvement of the stars or heavens it is of interest that in BA.xxxi, where Deborah calls Barach and urges him to go forth and do battle with Sisera, she says; "For I see ...

416. Did the Sumerians and the Akkadians Ever Exist? [Journals] [Aeon]
... stratigraphy must be placed at the end of the early dynastic period, have an uncanny resemblance to the graves of the Scythian princes dated 1500 years later. The comparative study of the civilizations of ancient southern Mesopotamia and ancient China reveals considerable parallels with regard to developments in social structure, technological skills, and religious practices. Yet the stratigraphically well-dated Chinese civilization emerges some 1500 years after the birth of the early dynastic civilization in "Sumer." IV Ca. 2350 BCE: Conquest of southern Mesopotamia by the Akkadians, whose king Sargon is considered to be the founder of the first extensive empire in history.Problems: No convincing stratigraphic evidence for mankind's "first empire" has ever ...
417. Canyons and Channels [Books] [de Grazia books]
... East Pacific Ridge, that runs up the Bay of Lower California and strikes through the desert into the raised platforms of the southwestern states, abetting the disintegration of the Rocky Mountain uplift; once its tectonic work was done, it began its present work of erosion. The great rivers of China flow in the direction they do, says a Chinese myth, because the goddess Niu-Kwa made the waters of the great flood stream off towards the southeast; the whole Earth had tilted and sunk into the sea there [2 ]. Most great rivers of the world understandably conform to the processes set into motion by the lunarian outburst. Many hasten along courses conveniently provided them and their tributaries ...

... (or series of neighbouring depressions) subjacent to this formation. Are such features actually collapsed portions of the Earth's crust, analogous to those now represented by the Nansen Basin on the bed of the Barents sea [2 ], the collapsed ocean floor off the Kamchatka Peninsula (easternmost Asia) [3 ], and the Turfan Depression in Chinese Sinkiang? Interestingly, the last-named feature occurs south of the eastern end of the Tien Shan mountains, which host a separate permafrost belt' of their own [4 ], and is especially noteworthy for descending to 420 feet below mean sea-level, as simultaneously the surrounding terrain rises abruptly to, on average, 3,500 feet above ...
419. My Challenge to Conventional Views in Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... myth, the ancients desperately tried to convey to their descendants, ourselves included, the record of events that took place in circumstances that left a strong imprint on the witnesses. There were physical upheavals on a global scale in historical times; the grandiosity of the events inspired awe. From the Far East to the Far West- the Japanese, Chinese and Hindu civilizations; the Iranian, Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Hitto-Chaldean, Israelite and Egyptian records; the Etruscan, Attic and Roman theogonies and philosophies; Scandinavian and Icelandic epics; Mayan, Toltec and Olmec art and legends- all, with no exception, were dominated by the knowledge of events and circumstances that only the most brazen ...
420. Recent Geology of the Planet Venus [Articles]
... correct. I want to now tip the balance heavily in favour of Velikovsky's view of Venus having been a comet in historical times by looking at the new Magellan Orbiter images of Venus' surface and describing the formation of some of those features in a novel way. But first, to recap the dramatic human record of Venus: The ancient Chinese Soochow Astronomical Chart says "Venus was visible in full daylight and, while moving across the sky, rivaled the sun in brightness". The Hebrews wrote "The brilliant light of Venus blazes from one end of the cosmos to the other end." The Chaldeans described Venus as a "bright torch of heaven", a " ...
