... . A first step in the right direction is the discovery that sacred staffs and scepters, wielded by magicians, shamans, kings, priests and warlords, were often microcosmic representations of the universe as a whole. Vague as this may sound, it can be demonstrated that the sacred staff was a miniature replica of the axis mundi, the column in the optical centre of the sky which united the celestial pole with the north and south poles of Earth. In the present article I will not dwell on this general connection, but will restrict myself to entwined forms of the sacred staff only. Hermes/Mercury. A second key of crucial importance is that the classical caduceus does ...
72. The Sac and its Plenum [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . There, one may note a similarity in the shape of their pattern of maximum obscuration to the cone of gases proposed in this work. Viewed from the outside the ancient plenum would have been opaque to light. Not so with the gas of the Earth's atmosphere today, which is eight kilometers thick if the atmosphere is considered as a column of gas of constant density [32]. This atmospheric layer is of trivial thickness compared to the radius of the Earth, yet its importance to the environment is unquestionable. Even this negligible atmospheric layer removes 18.4 per cent of the incoming sunlight, mostly by diverting it from its original direction of travel. Some of this ...
73. The Ship of Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... of the components of the configuration reveals a specific, testable relationship to the others. The crescent, for example, not only behaves in a clear, easily-defined way, but has an equally-clear relationship to the central sun, the surrounding band, the comet-like streams radiating from the band, the four directional streams of the sun-cross, the polar column, and the revolving cometary curl. And in each of these defined relationships the predicted imagery provides a stark contrast to any likely descriptions of the Sun, Moon and stars as they appear to us today. For starters, our model suggests these fundamental characteristics: The cosmic ship was originally the vehicle of the god and planet Saturn. ...
74. A Chronology for Mesopotamia (contra Heinsohn) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . King Amemphis or Amophis) [10] being synchronised with the era of Menophre [11] (? Meno-fre i.e . Memphis). The remainder of the 18th Dynasty dates and those of the following 19th-23rd are derived from Jeremy Goldberg's chronological thesis [12]. Similarly, the Middle and Late Assyrian/Babylonian dates in columns IV to VII are also derived from Goldberg [13]. However, the earlier Babylonian dates for Hammurabi as shown in column V are based on the conventional astronomical calculation of Weir [14]. Consequently, while the dates in columns I-III for Egypt, Khatti and Carchemish are reduced by 200 plus years, those for Assyria ( ...
75. The Demands of the Saturnian Configuration Theory [Journals] [Aeon]
... relaxed by now. Now it is true that Earth's present pear-shape could be explained through different causes than that proposed by the Saturnian configuration theory. But that is not the issue now, is it? What rightly concerns us here is that the theory demands such a state of affairs, and the demand is met. Part II The Polar Column 1. THE AXIS MUNDI One of the most mysterious of elements that can be retrieved from the mytho-historical record concerning the Saturnian configuration is what seems to have appeared, at least at first, as a tapered swath of light which stretched all the way down from the configuration to touch Earth at its northern horizon. Having received the generic ...
76. The Electrical Axis and its Gaseous Radiation [Books] [de Grazia books]
... (100 => teraamperes) would produce sufficient magnetic field intensity to constrain the plenum gases up to 64 000 kilometers from the axis (see ahead to Chapter Seven). Electrical breakdown can occur in dense gases where the electric field intensity is of the order of 25 kilovolts per centimeter (Schröder, p90). The longer the electrical column the greater the potential difference required between the principals in order for breakdown to occur. Once breakdown occurs the voltage drop at a place decreases from kilovolts per centimeter to tenths of a volt per centimeter [35]. Along the discharge column the voltage drop varies considerably. It is greatest near the electrodes and is very small at most ...
77. The Bedrock of Myth [Articles]
... . to 1 a.m . For the rest of the time, the image is either distorted or wholly disrupted. This causes acute probelms in the visual interpretation of numerous items in ancient myth, which cannot be resolved by recourse only to those elments and ofrms of the image thus far considered. Figure 19 below shows a rotating independent column transfixed through theh centre of the crescent, approaching at 9 p.m . the immobile support or Cosmic Mountain with which it will seem to merge at midnight, and out of the other side of which it will subsequently emerge. In some incarnations, the support is formed of coiled twists. It is then the Cosmic Serpent in ...
78. Applying the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... fact remains that Greeks could not write between the thirteenth century B.C . and the latter part of the eighth" (60). All attempts to fill this gap have met with failure (61). In addition to the Linear B inscriptions, two of these houses contained ivory carvings, depicting, among other things, architectural columns, some fluted as were those of the archaic and classical periods. Wace thus spoke of the "long ancestry" of the fluted columns which first appear in the 7th century B.C . and flourished in the classical period (62). Not just the fluting was similar. So were the capitals. These "13th-century" ...

... earthquake shook the globe was, according to rabbinical literature, as bright as the day of the summer solstice. Because of the proximity of the earth, the comet left its own orbit and for a while followed the orbit of the earth. The great ball of the comet retreated, then again approached the earth, shrouded in a dark column of gases which looked like a pillar of smoke during the day and of fire at night, and the earth once more passed through the atmosphere of the comet, this time at its neck. This stage was accompanied by violent and incessant electrical discharges between the atmosphere of the tail and the terrestrial atmosphere. There was an interval of ...
