... the heavens, and the island Ogugia where Kalupso dwells is called the navel of the sea. At the opposite side of the world, there was in the Aztec temple at Mexico a richly ornamented Pillar of peculiar sanctity; and in the centre of the central temple of the Incas at Cuzco there was a pillar at the centre of a circle traversed by a diameter from East to West.16 In a Shinto temple at Kashima in Japan there is the celebrated Pivot-stone, the kaname ishi, a Pillar whose foundation is at the centre of the earth, and which was sanctified by the local god sitting on it when he came down from heaven17 It restrains the gigantic catfish which ...
222. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... imprisonment, made clear the meaning of the assertion of the principle of indifferenza della natura. He denied the existence of a providential order in nature and hence of the stability of the solar system which is linked with the doctrine of circular movements; declared that only their imperfect astronomical observations permitted earlier scholars to believe that the heavenly bodies move in circles and in the long run return to their original position (de vanitate circulorum et anni illius mundani phantasia platonica et aliorum)[10]; and pointed out that astronomical movements are bound to be infinitely complex (differentias et singularum differentiarum irregularitatem) [11]. The belief in the simple and regular motion of the planets, he ...
223. On Number As Artifact: Part 2: Development [Journals] [Horus]
... present-day calendar-making standards. Where do they come from? How did the early scientists use them? An interesting study of Stonehenge by Alban Wall (HORUS, Summer 1985) suggests that Zuidema's 13 x 28 has echoes in prehistoric Britain: Many investigators of Stonehenge have pondered over why the number 56 was chosen in constructing the Sun (Aubrey) Circle.... 28 days and 13 cycles are whole number factors of 364 days. The 56 evenly spaced holes is twice 28 and simply subdivided the base cycle of 28 days in two. To count days around the circle, the marker was moved twice a day, probably one hole at sunrise and another at sunset [6 ...

... the stand, but he declined and suggested Neugebauer; the latter declined, too. After a few months of search it really seemed that nobody was willing to throw his hat into the ring; everyone preferred to stand outside and call names. Early in 1951 I received an invitation to be present at the monthly meeting of a local Presbyterian circle at which my book would be discussed. If I would be there, a debate could be arranged between me and Professor John Q. Stewart, astronomer of Princeton University. The circle was composed mainly of professors of the Princeton Theological Seminary in the town; for many years it has gathered once a month to discuss some current book ...

... era. He hardly mentions The Wash' – or recent geological events. Presumably he assumes the conventional position is unchallengeable as he brings the earth into equilibrium in the first millennium BC. Dunbavin's bibliography is interesting and includes, naturally, Clube and Napier's work, that of Mike Baillie, Barbara Bell (climate), Aubrey Burl (stone circles), Ignatius Donnelly, Euan McKie (a founder member of the SIS and speaker at the 1978 SIS Glasgow Conference), Jurgen Spanuth, Alexander Thom, Peter Warlow (a speaker at an early and recent AGM and author published by the SIS and elsewhere) and various others. He is therefore in the mould of post-Velikovsky catastrophism ...
227. "Professors As Suppressors". File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... as usual, on the stands a few days before its date. One of the most cherished rights of the nation's teaching profession is academic freedom, and college professors customarily will fight fiercely to defend it.... Yet last week a small group of professors themselves stood accused of a major assault on academic freedom. New York publishing circles charged them with attempted suppression of a book. Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky's intensely controversial "Worlds in Collision," which has led the best-seller lists since April, when Macmillan brought it out. Many of the facts were in dispute, and Macmillan was maintaining a grim silence, refusing to confirm or deny them. Company officials would say ...
228. The Ivory Islands. Ch.1 In the North (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... putrified in a single summer, but they remained unspoiled for some thousands of years. "It is therefore absolutely necessary to believe that the bodies were frozen up immediately after the animals died, and were never once thawed, until the day of their discovery."2 High in the north above Siberia, six hundred miles inside the Polar Circle, in the Arctic Ocean, lie the Liakhov Islands. Liakhov was a hunter who, in the days of Catherine II, ventured to these islands and brought back the report that they abounded in mammoths' bones. "Such was the enormous quantity of mammoths' remains that it seemed . . . that the island was actually composed ...
229. The Twin Tilts of the Spin Axes of Mars and Earth [Articles]
... The Twin Tilts of the Spin Axes of Mars and Earth Donald W. Patten and Samuel R. Windsor Earth Rotation Rate 1436 minutes Mars Rotation Rate 1477 minutes Similarity 98.2 % Earth Spin Axis Tilt 23.44 degrees Mars Spin Axis Tilt 23.98 Degrees Similarity 97.7 % In circles astronomical and cosmological, for over a century now, it has been realized that Mars and the Earth have nearly identical spin rates. In addition they have nearly identical spin axis tilts. This essay addresses the second of these two phenomena; the first phenomenon is addressed in another of our essays, one not yet published. The question has been raised now for over ...

... anomalous velocities through some unknown mechanism; and (3 ) these unusual redshifts do not indicate velocities at all. Ed.] (Arp, Halton M.; "NGC-1199," Astronomy, 6:l5, September 1978.) ASTEROIDS WITH MOONS?Several recent observations made of asteroids as they occult stars suggest that some asteroids are circled by moonlets. The observational technique resembles that used in the discovery of the now-famous rings of Uranus. Briefly, the star being observed blinks out not once in a clean-cut fashion but in a complex scenario that may indicate the presence of a second body. To illustrate, during the 1975 occultation of a star by the asteroid Eros " ...
