... You can't get planets to line up like that." Tony jumped up and said, "Let me show you something." As he walked to the white board, he added, "I don't believe I'm doing this" and "You aren't recording this, are you?" (we were.) He drew a large circle, then a double zig-zag arced line from the first circle to a straight row of small circles. I think he intended to tell us about the line-up of small circles (he later elaborated on them). But the zig-zags made all of the mythologists gasp. "Where did you see that?" "Do they really look ...
132. Venus and Sirius: Some Unexpected Similarities [Journals] [Kronos]
... system, and in it the glyph collocation representing Venus includes the glyph for the color red. More specifically, the Lamat-Venus(1 ) glyph (T510)(2 ) is the glyph of the planet Venus,(3 ) an identification accepted by virtually every epigrapher concerned with the Maya glyphs. The basic form of the glyph a circled cross with a circlet in each quadrant- is so widespread that it has the meaning "Morning Star" (which we usually interpret as Venus) among the Tarahumara of Northern Mexico.(4 ) The name that some Mayans have for Venus appears to have been borrowed by Tarascans (as far away as Michoacan, Mexico). ...
133. Thoth Vol S I-III, INCLUDING 66 ISSUES) [Journals] [Thoth]
... to get the message out. All told, when I consider the disappointments and setbacks along the way, it's encouraging to consider the net gains: an electronic newsletter THOTH with nearly 3,000 subscribers and almost 70 issues published so far; a video presentation, "Remembering the End of the World," reaching far beyond the earlier circle of enthusiasts; a pilot for a cable or video series (" Search"); an electronic discussion group; a network of affiliated websites; continuing publication of AEON (founded by Kronia in 1988), new alliances with internationally respected scientists and scholars; two world conferences, now complemented by a 12-hour video library on the 1994 ...
134. Scientific Prehistory [Books]
... mirror image S-shaped, bending into massive galaxies at the ends of the CJ. NGC 1265 shows globs on opposite CJ bent into a semi-circle with galaxies accurately aligned, the largest being at each end of the semicircle of CJ, and each emitting great clouds of matter essentially perpendicular to the straight part of the CJ, instead of completing the circle. The details of these observations described by Blandford, et.al., provide striking evidence for efficient use of the CJ to maximize the absorption of radiation from the BH. Boko in his discussions of the Milky Way, emphasized the radical changes brought about by recent discoveries. Centaurus A, or NGC 5128, the nearest active ...
135. The Third World of Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Cosmic Heretics, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents PART FOUR CHAPTER TWELVE The Third World of Science For a decade from the appearance of Worlds in Collision, no quantavolutionary circle existed in the world. V. s correspondence with his readers was voluminous. Immanuel and Elisheva were socially active for several years, but no scholar who could be said to be of catastrophist persuasion was a frequent correspondent or friend. In July 1956, Claude Schaeffer, author of the monumental comparative study of archaeological levels of destruction wrote Velikovsky his appreciation of receiving from him a copy of Earth in Upheaval. V. had used Schaeffer's work in preparing the book. In 1957, ...
... , the angle of shift depends on the place (latitude) of impact. (c ) That, similarly, the value of the resultant angular velocity OM' depends on that of the blow and the latitude of impact. If the blow is constant, the instantaneous angular velocity MM' (= O V ) may move on a circle of centre M and radius MM', giving for each position of point M', the corresponding values of a,and OM'. Obviously, there are two points, K1 and K2, for which the resultant angular velocity OM' will be equal to the angular velocity OM before impact. Points K1 and K2 give the ...
137. The Hunting Or Blitzkrieg Theory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... doubt they were adapted to the presence of human hunters and [were] able to survive in spite of being hunted."2 This does seem reasonable except for the fact that one of the survivors discussed, the musk ox, is part of the list. Musk oxen, when "threatened by predators... form a solid circle with their horns pointed outward. [This circle is called a Karre.] This is a good defense against wolves, but not against men with guns..."3 and not against men with spears. According to English naturalist, Richard Perry: "Alas, the karre, so admirably efficient against natural predators, proved ...
138. The Mixtec Tree of Origin [Journals] [Aeon]
... and refers his readers to the picture in question. Thus the T-shaped structure that had first caught my eye is identified as a tree. There are two other brief references to Mixtec mythology in the same work. The first comes from that fount of mythological insight, Mircea Eliade, who states that the Mixtec creation occurs "within the great circle of the gods and the serpent of heaven." [5 ] A detail from another codex illustration, apparently showing a Mixtec first couple sitting "on the back of the great serpent," is then included by Eliot in another of his essays. [6 ] Gordon Brotherston stresses the importance which some Middle American accounts of man's ...
139. Astronomy As Art [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1998:2 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents Astronomy As Art By Amy Acheson, Email: thoth@whidbey.com Thoth Vol II, No. 11 June 30, 1998 Ptolemy's mathematical epicycles were an effort to explain the celestial order as he saw it in terms of the "divine perfect circles" of his mythical/religious heritage. Copernicus' new viewpoint was based on the same assumption that there is something sacred about "celestial spheres". He tossed out Ptolemy's math and painted a new picture using a concept he imagined would replace the cumbersome epicycles with perfectly circular orbits. See? If you put the Sun here, ...
140. The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... ways in which the image, taken in its literal details, will illuminate the recurring attributes of the great gods and goddesses- not just in Assyria and Babylonia, but in every corner of the world. Cup-marks at Ballymenach, Scotland: a prehistoric attempt to represent the polar configuration in a three-dimensional manner. We see a large sphere or circle and two concentrically placed, considerably smaller spheres or circles with four river-like streams radiating from the center and juxtaposed with four star-like emanations, each set of emanations dividing the larger sphere or circle into symmetrical portions. But who has ever wondered if this curious design might tell us something about the character of the warrior hero, or the hero's ...
