... about 160 miles east of Baghdad. Huge quantities of rock were displaced, creating a giant dust cloud and sending a rain of large and small stones over an area of more than 70 square miles. The cover rocks of a number of oilfields were faulted and great eruptions of oil took place, some of these igniting to form giant burning columns probably a thousand feet or more high. Clouds of noxious black smoke darkened the dust-laden sky still further and rivers of partially-burning oil poured out over the foothills and plains. The memories of these events formed the basis of the mythology and religion of the peoples of ancient Mesopotamia and their successors. Such is the thesis of this remarkable book ...
442. Ice Cores and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the river of blood (from the red dust ?) , the great tidal wave with its reflex action (tsunami) that drew back to let the Israelites pass and the following surge that wiped out the armies of Pharaoh. The volcano's pillar of fire guided the fleeing Hebrew slaves northward to the shores of the Mediterranean by night and a column of smoke guided them by day. Then the Lord put the columns behind them (i .e . they had turned south into Sinai). These events passed into folk memory of the Israelites and also the Ancient Greeks with the legend of Atlantis and the legend of the Minotaur and its destruction in the great earthquake which destroyed Knossos ...
443. Heracles as Cross-Dresser [Journals] [Aeon]
... . 51. [73] G. Nagy, The Best of the Achaeans: Concepts of the Hero in Archaic Greek Poetry (1979), p. 303. [74] In a future essay we will discuss another phase in the history of the polar configuration wherein the "garment" of the Venus-goddess becomes diffused along the polar column, giving rise to a pyramidal-type form. Mars' intimate association with the polar column naturally led it to be associated with the "dress" of the Venus-goddess. [75] H. Seyrig, "Antiquites Syriennes," Syria 64 (1944-1945), pp. 62-80. [76] B. Foster, Before the Muses ...
444. Thoth Vol I, No. 1: January 25, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... such thing! (Measurements of G in laboratories on Earth don't seem to agree). In Saturn's electrical environment we may have shared an apparent low gravity. 6 - Various odd phenomena associated with plasma discharges would have been observed from Earth and should appear in ancient depictions of the SC. These include helical, serpentine glows surrounding a central column or twined rope-like around each other. These would be representations of Birkeland currents flowing between planets enveloped in the same plasma sheath. The number of "strands" may have varied and given rise to the depictions of Venus with different numbers of radiants. We should also look at photographs from deep space of "exploding stars" for clues ...
445. Child of Saturn (Part VI) [Journals] [Kronos]
... ff. 8. L. Delaporte, "Phoenician Mythology," New Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology (London, 1972), p. 84. 9. D Cardona, "Saturn: In Myth and Religion," KRONOS X:1 (Fall 1984), p.11; F. B. Jueneman, "The Polar Column," forthcoming in KRONOS. 10. I have not yet been able to determine whether skirts were in fact invented in imitation of the Saturnian image. Ancient legends, however, intimate that clothing in general did come into use as a direct consequence of, or in response to, the shedding of light by the Saturnian flare. ...
446. Reconsidering Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... a chapter in his forthcoming book Unravelling Genesis. We saw a wealth of pictures showing the theory of the various electromagnetic phenomena linked with the notion of an ice canopy around the Earth in which the world was reflected; the auroral oval, which can still be seen in special infra-red satellite photos, and the axis mundi, which is a column of auroral light, with spirals of ionised particles winding around it; the way the ancients depicted these phenomena was illustrated in pictures of columns, sun-boats, horned deities, crosses with rings around them, the world tree, the caduceus, and many more. This spectacular display made a fitting end to the proceedings, though there was ...
447. A Harbinger of the Exodus? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Sea of Passage means advancing five abreast' - a practical number when marching. Progress would be limited by the pace of nursing mothers, and of sheep and cattle: the slowest elements could not average more than 1 mph. Had there been 2,000,000 people, in files of five spaced four feet apart, the column would have been almost 400 miles long, and been uncontrollable; while the crossing would have taken between two and three weeks, which flatly contradicts the biblical record. On the other hand, 25,000 people would yield a column about 4 miles long, and a crossing time of four to six hours, consistent both with the ...
448. On Morrison: Some Further Remarks [Journals] [Kronos]
... - those in the Andes in South America and those in the Hawaiian (Sandwich) Islands in the Pacific. Hence, the idea that the lake is the crater of an extinct volcano has recently been questioned. Moreover, although the bottom of the lake is of lava, and the ground around the lake abounds with ashes and lava and columns of basalt, the talus of a volcano is lacking. "Taking what Pliny said of an interplanetary discharge together with what has actually been found at Volsinium, one may wonder whether the cinders and the lava and the columns of basalt could possibly be the remains of the contact Pliny mentions . . ." No scientist has even bothered ...
449. Part IV: Conclusions [Ragnarok] [Books]
... fable 1, " The Metamorphoses ") : " The sea circling around the encompassed earth.... The earth has upon it men and cities, and woods and wild beasts, and rivers, and nymphs and other deities of the country." On this land is "the palace of the sun, raised high on stately columns, bright with radiant gold, and carbuncle that rivals the flames; polished ivory crests its highest top, and double folding doors shine with the brightness of silver." In other words, the legend refers to the island-home of a civilized race, over which was a palace which reminds one of the great temple of Poseidon in Plato's ...
450. Velikovsky in America [Journals] [Aeon]
... J. O'Neill, Pulitzer-winning science editor for the New York Herald Tribune, had written a biography of one of Velikovsky's few modern scientific heroes, Nikola Tesla. On the basis of a book review that Velikovsky read, he gave O'Neill a copy of Worlds in Collision. Impressed by what he read, in his August 11, 1946, column O'Neill revealed Velikovskian catastrophism to the public for the first time. According to the "Personal and Otherwise" column of the January 1950 Harper's which exposed Velikovsky's ideas to a much larger audience, in 1940 O'Neill had been the first to discuss the splitting of the atom in a magazine article. So it was fitting that he discussed catastrophism ...
