... have existed earlier than the penultimate glaciation of Europe (240,000-200,000 B.P .) and which, along with other animal species, became extinct at the end of the geological division known as the Pleistocene.(6 ) The locality of their deep-frozen corpses is, of course, the permafrost zone of the present Arctic Circle.(7 ) In addressing the problem of the frozen mammoths, it may be considered legitimate to include other polar regions and other species and, indeed, frozen specimens other than Mammuthus primigenius as well as, perhaps, skeletal evidence of proven contemporaneity. It is not permissible, however, to include other animal and plant remains which ...
282. New Fashions in Catastrophism [Books] [de Grazia books]
... currency among cosmic heretics because V. neglected to admit them. When a true believer is excommunicated or goes apostate from a charismatic cult he is, if let go scot-free, inclined to start his own cult, and in science or art, there is every reason to wish the apostate or excommunicant well. Robert Stephanos left V. s circle and found a new interest, another cosmic heretic, by then deceased. William Comyns Beaumont is hardly known today but was a topranking English editor and a brilliant catastrophist. His work turned ever more to the- quite mad- idea that the Egyptian dynasties up to the 13th century B.C . ruled in South Wales and that ...
283. The Saturn Problem [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Kronos/Saturn devours his children - a gruesome painting by Goya. © Prado Museum, Madrid When we compare them to the stars, it is not so difficult to understand why the planets attracted the attention of the ancients. The stars form the fixed' background of the night sky - they are so distant that they appear to slowly circle round together with the seasons, as if attached to a huge sphere. The planets, of course, are far closer, orbiting around the same star (the Sun) that we do, giving them completely different apparent movements to those of the stars. The word planet' comes from the Greek planetes, meaning wanderer', ...
284. Untitled [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Freud, suffering from petty ideas of grandeur even though he was only "the size of a pea" (Wortis 1963:30). Freud was not present at the meeting under discussion. But the identity of the other outspoken ally at that time lends support to the notion that Velikovsky was seeking a more favorable position within the Freudian circle- if not actually psychically identifying himself with Freud (a common occurrence among psychoanalysts, as Heinz Kohut has pointed out). Paul Federn was, ostensibly, Freud's heir-apparent. He had come into the circle as early as 1903 and would be the only close follower still with Freud when the Nazis entered Vienna in 1938. Since 1923 ...
285. A RENAISSANCE SATURN [Journals] [Aeon]
... throughout Italy. (1 ) Images of classical deities, in particular a group of lunette figures on the camera's southern wall which includes a prominent Saturn, attest to the renewed popularity of the ancient gods as subjects for the visual arts at this time. In addition, Correggio's frescoes signal an intriguing connection between Parma's Benedictine community and progressive humanist circles in Rome, where a type of Golden Age theology then enjoyed wide currency under the patronage of the papal curia. The decoration throughout the abbatial apartment of Giovanna da Piacenza announced the literary sophistication of their patron as well as her passionate interest in the classical past, pressed into the service of an apparently profound Christian faith. Quotations from ...
286. Introgenesis (Immanuel Velikovsky's Jewish Science) [Books]
... panpsychists"). (4 ) [A ] picture of interaction and togetherness, and of the true unity of all that exists, appears with clarity. In the absolute sense, there is no such thing as individual existence; everything becomes the common good, nothing knows an owner. For all eternity, everything in the assimilation process circles through stone and soul, everything acts reciprocally, everything is owned reciprocally. There is nothing about which a man should say, this is mine'. Not about possessions, not about the body, not about thoughts. All things circle and stream through one another, and everything wants to shape everything else and leave something of itself ...

288. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Mars in an integral number of days? Well... maybe. But it is all too easy to see impressive coincidences where they do not exist. One such example may be found in Fred Hoyle's On Stonehenge, where he touts (after Gerald S. Hawkins) the dubious theory that the sophisticated Stonehenge III monument (the concentric circles and horse-shoes' of carefully dressed stone) is a late, degenerate structure. The astronomically more sophisticated device, he claims, comprises a rectangle of four unworked rocks, a massive equally crude outlier, and a huge ring of 56 funerary pits. It is instructive to examine how commensurability mania' pervades his argument. Firstly, Hawkins ...
289. Ice Core Evidence [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... molecular diffusion. At a given borehold, the time between the fresh fall of new snow and its conversion to nascent ice is roughly the height of the firn layers in [meters] divided by the annual accumulation of new ice in meters per year. This results in conversion times of centuries for firn layers just inside the Arctic and Antarctic circles, and millenia those well inside [the] same. Which is to say- during these long spans of time, a continuing gas-filtering process is going on, eliminating any possibility of using the presence of such gases to count annual layers over thousands of years.(28) (Emphasis added.) According to the cited article, ...
290. Celestial fireworks [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... from this perspective are of great significance in symbolism and mythology. Some frames display a tiny green image in the upper right corner. These are abstractions from the general picture, which came to form the dominating symbols in the language of symbolism. The reduction of the highly complicated prodigies of the past to simplified abstract symbols such as the dotted circle, the triangle, the spiral, the concentric circles, and so forth, formed the backbone of ancient symbolism. In my essay on symbolism, published on this website, I will offer an exhaustive list of symbols under which these apparitions have been described by the myth-makers. The motifs listed underneath the pictures mention some of these, ...
