... . Talbott's The Saturn Myth. I shall illustrate this discourse with these forms and their many derivatives. Figure 1 below shows Prajapati, the Primordial Cosmic Man. The immobile orb, the head, is attached to the immobile Support or Cosmic Pillar, the body. The protruding arms are formed by the protruding ends of the moving crescent that circles the orb, at the North Celestial Pole, in one day. The Polar Assemblage or image is seen as the Cosmic Man only very shortly before, during, and after midnight, when the crescent is appropriately and symmetrically placed. Figure 1 0000 hrs. Figure 2 0000 hrs. Figure 3 0000 hrs. Etymologically, Prajapati means ...
... the object and seen over the prism while the prism reflects to the eye the division of the seal underneath it. Nothing is easier. An azimuth compass is all that is necessary for all but the most accurate inquiries. The azimuth compass is an instrument familiar to many; it consists of a magnetic needle fastened to a card carrying a circle divided into 360 , which can be conveniently read by a prism when the instrument is turned toward any definite direction marked by a vertical wire. Its use depends upon the fact that at the same place and at the same time all magnetic needles point in the same direction, and the variation for the true north and south direction is ...
63. The Ring About The Earth at 2300 BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... religions also appeared to speak of a ring extending around the Earth. This interpretation of the mythology is a possible viable alternative to other current interpretations. Since the ring was observable everywhere on the Earth's surface, it would be expected that it would be described by all cultures - and it was. Most commonly, it was described as a circle of flowing water. I have also found 24 interpretations, including a celestial mountain, a serpent holding its tail in its mouth, a time regulator, a chariot wheel and a set of horns. This paper primarily addresses the flowing water. The water interpretation could have been due to two possible factors. The first is related to ...
64. Chapter IV: the Two Horizons [Books]
... common, to the early peoples of India and Egypt. Apparent Movement of the Stars to An Observer At the North Pole Apparent Movement of the Stars to An Observer 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 ...
65. The Pentagram of Venus [Journals] [Horus]
... each time it overtakes the latter. An inferior conjunction occurs when Venus is on a straight line between the Sun and the Earth. And the time between two successive inferior conjunctions Is 584 days (to the nearest integer), which is called the synodic period. Using a 365-day year (as did the Mayans and Egyptians), five circlings of Venus is very nearly equal to eight Earth years, since 5 x 584 = 8 x 365 = 2920 days. Venus is not visible at the time conjunctions occur, but her first appearance as a Morning Star (heliacal rising) occurs within a few days after inferior conjunction, indicating completion of a synodic period. The eight-year ...
66. Circling the Rings [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:1 (Nov 1997) Home | Issue Contents Circling the Rings Henry Zemel Abstract The eccentricity and inclination of planets, moons, asteroids, and comets are linked in a peculiar way: the bodies in the ecliptic, and the moons in the equatorial plane have nearly circular orbits, while those off the ecliptic or equator are mostly elliptical. Among the planets, all orbits are nearly circular and in the ecliptic, except for Mercury and Pluto whose orbits are elliptical and considerably inclined to the ecliptic. Of the 32 major moons of planets, 20 orbit in the equatorial plane (inclination < 4 degrees), and nearly all of these orbits, ...
67. Squaring the Circle -- An Esoteric Tradition? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History VIII:2 (July 1986) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION Squaring the Circle- An Esoteric Tradition?M.D . Stern The problems of Egyptian chronology that have been analyzed so brilliantly by Velikovsky [l ] seem to be based on a dispute as to the relative historic merits of the Bible as opposed to the Egyptian priest-historian Manetho of the third century B.C . It is a common assumption since the 18th century of Enlightenment that the Bible is essentially inaccurate and confuses myth with a dim recollection of historical events, and therefore cannot be relied upon. On the other hand, classical authors are assumed to be objective reporters of ...
68. The Moon In Upheaval [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... wave concept suggested by Firsoff and Velikovsky. There is seismic evidence at extremely deep levels for sudden density changes, but these are unrelated to the problem just discussed. We will explore this evidence later. Related to a tidal disturbance would be evidence that a massive body moved in an orbit past the Moon leaving surface and subsurface phenomena along great circle arcs. R. J. Mulcuit describes this phenomenon. "The circular maria- Orientale, Imbrium, Serenitiatis, Crisium, Smythii, and Tsiolkovsky- lie nearly on a great circle. This pattern can be considered the result of a very close non-capture encounter between the Moon and the Earth early in solar system history." (8 ) ...
69. The River of Ocean [Journals] [SIS Review]
... In one of the Coffin Texts, the god himself recalls the time when he was still in the midst of the serpent coil' [39]. The Pyramid Texts, through the inscription of which the deceased pharaoh aimed to attain unity with the god, state: The King lies down in your coil, the King sits in your circle' [40]. This, again, more than intimates that the encircling serpent was analogous to the god's circle or ring. Likewise, as David Talbott indicated, Ra was lauded as the dweller in his fiery serpent' just as he was also deemed the dweller in the fiery circle' [41]. Here the fiery ...

Besides the above interpretations, I have seen it described as a "line," a "circle " "plate," a world-wide surface "without thickness," a "region " the "first," the "third," or again the "eighth" and so on.
