... "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents A Hemisphere Travels Southward "Behold the world bowing with its massive dome- earth and ex- panse of sea and heaven's depth!"- VIRGIL Eclogues iv. 50 The change in the position of the poles carried the polar ice outside the new polar circle, while other regions were brought into the polar circle. There is nothing imperative in the present position of the pole or in the direction of the polar axis. No known astronomical or geological law requires the present direction of the axis and the present position of the pole. I find a similar thought in the writings of Schiaparelli: ...
22. Megalithic Astronomy and Catastrophism [Journals] [Pensee]
... by having B.C . after them, while dates in "radiocarbon years" are written with b.c . The calibration tables used are those published in the recent MASCA Newsletter (6 ). The Thom Theories During the last thirty years Professor Alexander Thom has developed in great detail a theory that the erectors of the numerous stone circles and standing stones of prehistoric Britain and Brittany were skilled practical field surveyors and had a considerable knowledge of geometry and observational astronomy (2 ). As noted, both the astronomical assumptions and the archaeological dating evidence place these standing stone sites very early in the second millennium B.C ., so their importance for the catastrophic theory is ...
... there. It is far beyond; and I repent not going there, but I was not worthy. But as I have heard say of wise men beyond I shall tell you with good will. Terrestrial Paradise, as wise men say, is the highest place of the earth; and it is so high that it nearly touches the circle of the moon there, as the moon makes her turn. For it is so high that the flood of Noah might not come to it, that would have covered all the earth of the world all about and above and beneath except Paradise. And this Paradise is inclosed all about with a wall, and men know not whereof ...

The stone circle is associated with a series of flat ...
25. Ra as Saturn [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... dcardona@intouch.bc.ca> Date: Mon, 07 Apr 1997 09:59:28 -0700 Some of The Reasons Concerning Why The Mythological Ra Could Not Have Been The Sun. From the paper read at the Portland World Conference. .. . Thus, for example, Ra was often lauded as "Lord of the Circles" and "he who entereth [or liveth] in the circle. (12) He was described as "the sender forth of light into his Circle" and the "Governor of [his] circle." (13) What is this Circle that the hymns allude to? Egyptologists will immediately inform us that this Circle ...

... article in HORUS, Vol. 1, No. 1). The document contains interesting bits and fragments of scientific lore that tells us a good deal about the level of astronomical knowledge attained by ancient watchers of the sky. In Chapter XXX, verses 4 and 5, the following information is revealed: 4. On the first uppermost circle I [God] placed the stars, Kruno, and on the second Aphrodit, on the third Aris, on the fifth Zeus, on the sixth Ermis, on the seventh lesser the moon, and adorned it with the lesser stars. 5. And on the lower I placed the sun for the illumination of the day, ...
27. An Evaluation of the Practical Operation of the Stonehenge Calendar [Journals] [Kronos]
... intercalation of 7 lunations and extra days necessary to keep the Stonehenge calendar chronologically aligned with the orbiting relationships of the Sun and the Moon throughout the entire 19-year cycle. This detailed operation of the calendar attracted my attention, and I offer the following as a workable method of keeping the calendar on track. Let us study first the Aubrey Sun Circle, which, as Wall has shown, tracks the solar year by counting off 28-day solar "months", 13 times for 1 year. On page 37 of the referenced paper, Wall says: "The Sun marker will move around the circle exactly 247 times during the 19-year cycle, ticking off 6,940 days in the ...

... common, to the early peoples of India and Egypt. Apparent Movement of the Stars to An Apparent Movement of the Stars to An Observer Observer At the North Pole At the Horizon We must be perfectly clear before we go further what this horizon really is, and for this some diagrams are necessary. The horizon of any place is the circle which bounds our view of the earth's surface, along which the land (or sea) and sky appear to meet. We have to consider the relation of the horizon of any place to the apparent movements of celestial bodies at that place. We know, by means of the demonstration afforded by Foucault's pendulum, that the earth rotates ...
29. Temple, Crown, Vase, Eye, and Circular Serpent [Books]
... -- VII Temple, Crown, Vase, Eye, and Circular Serpent A primary thesis of this book is that the Saturnian configuration provoked many different symbols, whose underlying relationship to a single cosmic form too often goes unnoticed. When the ancients laid out the sacred city they sought to establish a likeness of the cosmic dwelling, a circle around a fixed centre. And in organizing the first kingdoms, unifying once-separate territories, the founders followed the same celestial plan. There was only one dwelling of the great god, but this dwelling inspired imitative forms of varying scale and varying ritual functions. At root the creator's home is simply "the place," "the land ...
30. The Aristotelian Cosmos [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Robert Bass," Proceedings of the Immanuel Velikovsky Centennial Celebration, 1895-1995 (N .Y . 1997), pp. 116-130. The Aristotelian Cosmos Ginenthal 3 The greatest exponent of uniformitarianism in the ancient world was Aristotle who Rose pointed out made celestial catastrophes totally impossible.4 Since Aristotle's planets were embedded in invisible celestial spheres within which they circled the central Earth, and comets were only emanations of gases rising from the Earth, then nothing outside the Earth existed that could penetrate and upset this system. Aristotle's cosmos was perfectly safe and perfectly secure. The work of Claudius Ptolemy, who made a mathematical model of Aristotle's cosmos in his great work the Almagest, gave scientific substance ...
