... of the Hero covered by the Mother Goddess, the garment being one of the goddess' widespread images. This follows basically from four different lines of evidence. The Mother Goddess As Garment Hathor, who, strange as it may sound, was believed to have served as the kilt of the deceased king. (From the capital of a column in the temple of Dendera In the first place, the Mother Goddess is explicitly described as a garment. In the Pyramid Texts, the deceased king is made to proclaim: "My kilt which is on me is Hathor. I am girt with the girdle of Horus, I am clad with the garment of Thoth, Isis is ...

473. Some Implications of Saunders' Lunar Hypothesis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and Earth in Myth and History In a private communication dated 8th March 2004, Dwardu Cardona, whose knowledge of the ancient records is formidable, takes a dismissive view of Saunders' hypothesis. He wote, inter alia: (i ) Neolithic spiral patterns have nothing to do with the Moon but a lot to do with the plasmatic polar column [2 ]; (ii) as far as I can see there is nothing in either mytho-historical record or in present astronomical knowledge that even hints at a 180 degree lunar turn-over at any time in history or pre-history'. His letter begins by admitting that his early rejection of Warlow's theory of Earth's inversion [3 ] has changed ...
474. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2002:2 (Feb 2003) Home | Issue Contents Monitor Jill Abery VELIKOVSKY RECONSIDERED Scientific American , March 2002, p. 24 The regular Skeptic column written by Michael Shermer, an obvious devotee of that arch sceptic Martin Gardner, considers an article written over 50 years ago by the latter. In it Gardner, discussing what he considered to be pseudoscientists, declared that the then current discussion of Velikovsky would soon subside and his books begin to gather dust on library shelves. Sherman's view of those who still adhere to Velikovsky's views is that they are a quaint few surviving in the interstices of fringe culture'. INSIDE SCIENCE The Perils ...

... new ones. The human mind works from generalities to specifics, quickly seizing upon broad similarities. Given such tendencies, eyewitnesses to later cataclysms would automatically make mental connections between what they were seeing and the original traditions. For example, the Exodus comet-planet, standing vertically on the horizon as Velikovsky postulated, would be strangely reminiscent of the polar column associated with ancient Saturn- certainly similar enough to fulfill the symbolic expectations of tradition-oriented Israelites. So, too, any presentation of a crescent to earthly observers at that time would bring to mind the earlier Bull of Heaven tradition. Note that the ancients did not alter their view of the heavens for thousands of years- even though the ...

477. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Navels [Books]
... there is a place which is the middle of all Peloponnesos, if their reports can be depended on." Then we have also the Vedic Agni standing at the Navel of the Earth, as in Wilson's Rig Veda " thou Vaishwltnara (i . e. Agni) art the navel of men, and supportest them like a deep-planted .column." "Agni, head of heaven, navel of earth " (i , 157). Nabhi and Meru are even the parents of Rishabha, who is again the father of the great Bharata and of 99 other sons. According to Garcilasso de la Vega,9 Cuzco, their capital, meant `navel' in the ...
478. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... Mesopotamian deities originated as embodiments of natural phenomena associated with gas escapes and explosive petroleum geysers. Shifting the scene away from Thompson's Kirkuk Baba', Wilson's theory was fed fuel through the geological studies of the Kabir Kuh region in south-west Iran. As envisioned in The Rebel Lands- (Cambridge, 1979)- Mesopotamian deities owed their genesis to columns of burning gas which rose under pressure in a catastrophic event that resulted in the Saidmarreh landslip of the Kabir Kuh. As noted on page 9 of the above, the event is believed to have taken place in "about 9,500 BC." Needless to say, Wilson did not fail to fit Huwawa in his "gas ...

Thus: If a meteor (or comet) strikes at "Chassenon, France" and is 1.5 km in diameter, striking with a speed of 20 k/second, coming from the Northwest, it will burst open, within seconds, a great crater, and shoot up a towering column of fire, gas, and debris, a terrestrial tsunami whose swells will become arcs of hills, and all forms of rocks for 20 km around will be metamorphosed, while practically all life forms will be extincted up to a radius of 500 km, and most habitats around the world and the atmosphere everywhere will be affected to different ...

... ) rock. The rocks, all very young, of the Erta'Ale volcanic range, which runs parallel to the Red Sea central trough, are preponderantly basaltic and typical of the rocks of oceanic ridges. (page 137) Tazieff finds that the central axis of the Afar Triangle runs north-northwest and south-southeast (beware of the misprints in the middle column of page 137). This is parallel to but not coincident with the central axis of the Red Sea. Nevertheless, Tazieff is convinced that the Afar Triangle and the Red Sea are one: This direction is precisely that of the Red Sea, so that the whole of the northern part of the Afar triangle can be regarded as ...
