... , 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 ...
422. Thoth Vol I, No. 8: April 5, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... Talbott (dtalbott@teleport.com) The ancient Sumerians repeatedly proclaimed that kingship had descended directly from the creator-king An, the most ancient and highest god of the pantheon, and the revered founder of the Golden Age. Consider the myths and images of the Hindu Brahma, Manu or Yama, the Iranian Yima, Danish Frodhi, or Chinese Huang-Ti- all models of the good king, ruling over a primitive paradise. The respective cultures esteemed these mythical figures as *prototypes*. In later ages the chroniclers have such figures ruling on earth. But in the earliest traditions the kingdom is in the sky, and this ancient kingdom of the Universal Monarch is one of the most ...
423. Earth Parturition and Moon Birth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... writes, "Many positions of drifting or accreting continents eliminate any a priori condition to find the scar of separation on our present Earth, although if a navel' must be located, the Pacific basin is as good a spot as any." [8 ] The west coast ranges of Northern America have some formation similar to the east Chinese coast [9 ]. This would point to a more southerly explosion. The great Nazca Ridge and seamounts off of South America traverse the East Pacific Rise into the Tuamotu and Taburi Islands, an immensely long transverse fracturing and outbursting of magma. This feature would have followed the eruption of the lunar material. The tens of thousands of ...
424. Artificially Structured Biblical Chronologies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that small knowledge outside of their fraternities. Cabbalistic Chronology is designed to reconstruct that almost lost and forgotten early system of specialised chronological terms. It is divided into two parts with the first dealing with the artificial structures of the Bible and the second with Manetho's cabbalistic work called Aegyptiaca'. Further books will deal with the Assyrian, Babylonian and Chinese king lists. That which is reproduced here consists of extracts from Part I which have been abbreviated and modified to suit the requirements of a review paper. Example A: The postdiluvian patriarchal lists from Shem to Terah P. Wiseman, in this work titled Clues to Creation in Genesis [1 ] showed that Genesis had been compiled from ...
425. He Who Shines by Day [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ax to help him give birth. THE EPITHETS OF VENUS Velikovsky, James and others offer numerous connections between Planet Venus and Pallas Athena through analogies of birth, traits and deeds. They further offer persuasive cross-identifications of Athena and Planet-Venus with the corresponding divinities of the same planet from other cultures, among them the Hebrew, Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese, Mexican, and American Indian. Graves, for example, lays out in detail the material on Pallas, whose primary myth-ensemble is as foster-sister to Athena. Pallas means simply "youth" or "maiden." Athena and Pallas were raised on the shores of Lake Triton in Africa. While playing at armed combat Athena accidentally killed ...
426. Thales: The First Astronomer [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , who flourished in the first half of the Sixth Century B.C .E .3 The second obstacle has to do with how one defines "astronomer." Even granting a single, temporal horizon for the emergence of the textual records of complex civilization among the Greeks, Egyptians, Mews, Mesopotamians, Persians, Indians, and Chinese, is there not clear evidence that astronomy was practiced in more than the first of these cultures? It depends here on whether you define an astronomer as someone who studies the heavenly bodies in order to understand fate or divine intention, or someone who studies them in order to show that their motions are law-governed and not subject to unintelligible ...
427. The Ten Points Of Sagan [Journals] [Kronos]
... it took so long to happen. If the place of Venus' separation was the Red Spot (centered at 20 southern latitude of Jupiter), the protoplanet would have moved originally in a plane inclined to the ecliptic, and would only periodically have crossed it - to this effect we have the testimony of various ancient sources, like the Chinese Soochow Astronomical Chart (Worlds in Collision, Section "Tao" and others). In his statistical approach, Sagan considers all events described in Worlds in Collision as independent of one another, whereas they are clearly interdependent, and indeed each of them in turn increased the likelihood that the next would follow. His calculations, therefore ( ...
428. Metals, Salt and Oil [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Mountain, an iron ore mountain 520 feet high, situated in a plain. In Russia too is the Wyssokaya Gora, a deposit of rich magnetite ore, littered over a strip 40 miles long by 9 miles wide." [14] As with iron, so with other metals: many legends have them falling from heaven. The Chinese sky dragon's "breath descends as a rain of water or of fire. Gold is the congealed breath of a White Dragon, but a Purple Dragon's spittle turns into balls of crystal; glass is regarded as solidified dragon's breath." (The tektite allusion is plain). "The dragons of mythology are often described (among the ...
429. Polymathics and Catastrophism: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Problems of Evolutionary Theory [Journals] [Kronos]
... A minimal type of extinction involves the elimination of most but not all subtaxa of a given taxon. An example of this evolutionary process is provided by the ginkgoales, an order of Mesozoic gymnosperms that appeared in the Permian Period, reached its peak in the Jurassic, declined throughout the Cenozoic Era, and is represented today solely by the cultivated Chinese ornamental plant Ginkgo biloba, the maidenhair tree. This, in turn, may be called tertiary extinction. A table of major extinctions during the 600,000,000 years of the Phanerozoic macro-era follows: PHANEROZOIC EXTINCTIONS* Era Period Epoch Taxon Rank Paleozoic Cambrian helicoplacoid (spiral echinoderms) class Ordovician protomedusan (earliest jelly-fish) class Silurian ...
430. Pharaoh Seti the Great and His Foreign Connections [Journals] [Kronos]
... to the verities of common sense and practical perception governing daily affairs. We know of no other ancient people of whom this is true to the same degree, yet the investigators of this civilization have a nearly uniform contempt for all cultures which take such experience seriously, especially those of the Far East. With mockery and derision the Hindu and Chinese scriptures are held as examples of absurdity. How easy it is to characterize any alleged spiritual experience, any non-public perception, as "autohypnotic self-deception" or "hallucination". Such terms are about as explanatory and analytical as stating that Mozart played the violin from the first day he held one because he had a "high musical aptitude ...
