... . Those who wish to know more can best begin by reading "The Velikovsky Affair," ed. A. de Grazia. A book called Worlds in Collision was published in the USA in 1950. According to its author, Venus as a planet is only some 3,500 years old. The proto-planet, in effect an enormous comet, had originated, at some earlier time, by disruption from Jupiter. It moved for centuries on a very eccentric orbit, and about 1500 B.C . made its two closest approaches to the Earth. During the eighth and seventh centuries B.C ., the comet-Venus repeatedly approached Mars, and Mars in turn menaced our ...
412. Catastrophe, Collective Trauma, and the Origin of Civilization [Articles]
... populations to exceed the carrying capacity of the land and brought on starvation through overhunting. It is also possible that some non-human agent was responsible for the catastrophe(s ) that led humans to domesticate themselves. Likely non-human candidates of an endogenous nature include earthquakes, floods, fires, volcanoes, and climate change. Possible exogenous culprits include wayward comets or asteroids. How do we go about determining which (if any) of these possible non-human sources of trauma might have been the actual one? Naturally, we should consider the evidence-of which there are again two kinds: material and cultural. The material evidence of ancient catastrophes includes ice cores, lake bed cores, tree rings, ...
413. The Venus Tablets and Climate [Journals] [SIS Review]
... would result in a large concentration of cometary dust above the point of impact. As this dust gradually spread round the globe it would presumably become less concentrated at its souce, and increase elsewhere until equilibrium was attained. The volcanic explanation seems to be the more likely. It raises the question of whether Year 12 records a close approach of Comet Encke, The Cosmic Serpent'. However, the position of the nodes around 1690 BC seems to rule that out. Moreover, even if it could be established that a close approach of the comet took place in Year 12, the time scale would not permit a similar event in Year 16b. It would have to be some ...
414. Darkness Over Sinai (Where was Moses when the light went out?) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the Israelites did not see the face of the Sun during the wandering in the desert because of clouds. They were also unable to orientate themselves on their march. No cause is given for these overcast conditions. This forty year-long obscuration is considered by Velikovsky as being due to multiple prolonged volcanic eruptions and the gaseous tail of a great cinder-trailing comet [1 ]. The degree of darkness' is not known, but it is common knowledge that cloud cover during normal storm conditions makes observations of the Sun, Moon and stars impossible. As all record of the passage of time has to be based on observation of these bodies, the question arises as to just how this was ...
415. Aeon Volume II, Number 1: Contents [Journals] [Aeon]
... resulted from asteroidal impacts or from localised explosions. PAGE 23 Servant of the Sun God David Talbott begins a comprehensive summary of the Mars archetype in world mythology. How is it that a singular mythical figure can appear at once as demiurge and barbarian; trickster and fool; loyal servant of the sun god and prototypical demon? PAGE 37 On Comets and Kings Worldwide myths and images of comets are examined by Ev Cochrane, who shows that, taken in their entirety, they echo the story of a great comet Venus, remembered as the soul of the dying god. PAGE 53 Early Glass-making and Chronological Puzzles Continuing his argument on behalf of a new chronology of ancient civilisations, Gunner ...
416. The Spark, Part 1 Venus Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Spark A phenomenon of great significance took place. The head of the comet did not crash into the earth, but exchanged major electrical discharges with it. A tremendous spark sprang forth at the moment of the nearest approach of the comet, when the waters were heaped at their highest above the surface of the earth and before they fell down, followed by a rain of debris torn from the very body and tail of the comet. "And the Angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud ...
417. The Synodical Year Of Venus, Part 1 Venus Ch.10 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... , chiefly Venus (Baal). On these high places idolatrous priests, ordained by the erring kings of Judah, burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and the moon, and to the planets.(12) In the second half of the second millennium and in the beginning of the first millennium, Venus was still a comet; and though a comet can have a circular orbit there is such a comet in the solar system(13)- Venus was not then moving on a circular orbit as it does now; its orbit crossed the orbit of the earth and endangered it every fifty years. Since, by the second half of the eighth century before ...
418. THE ROAD TO SATURN (EXCERPTS FROM AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY) [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision has not only been one of them, in the end it totally changed my life. In this work Velikovsky proposed that, in the distant past, but still within man's memory, the planet Jupiter ejected from itself a smaller but sizeable body that careened across the solar system in the form of a giant comet. Coming into close contact with Earth, but avoiding an actual collision, this cometary body caused a series of catastrophic events which mankind remembered and passed on to his descendants in an oral and written tradition that eventually evolved into the well-known mythologies of the various nations. Thus the gods and goddesses of antiquity seem to have really been the ...

... a root "kop" (" to strike or mark"). So there is a semantic connection with "apostrophe" et al., even though that connection isn't morphological. Dave Talbott responds: The meaning of the root _kop_ to strike, brings the _comma_ into alignment symbolically with the Great Star/Great Comet Venus, though I would add the sense of the "break" in a linear sequence, which is the effect of both the comma and the coma (comet). The "punctuation" of a sentence is analogous to the "punctuation" of history. You can see this in the dual meanings of the word "period ...
420. Star Words [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... mark or STRoke made with a STRophe or turning motion. Its form is virtually identical to the more elementary forms of the ancient Sumerian Venus-sign. And of course it has the same form as our COMMA which is surely linked to the "cometary" COMA of the Great Star. The archetypal Great Star is strictly synonymous with the archetypal Great Comet, But what is unified at the level of archetypes is too easily fragmented with the specialization and fragmentation of language in the ABSENCE of the original celestial references. To sort through the maze of modern words expressing the S-T-R root I would STaRt :) with these most fundamental associations of the Great Star: It is the life, power ...
