... Storm-god and Illuyankas (Hittite), and Ormuzd and Ahriman (Zoroastrian). In all these accounts, the details parallel each other. Velikovsky identifies the conflict between the light-bearing hero and the multi-headed, fire-scattering serpent or dragon as the celestial drama when the proto-planet Venus was in catastrophic contact with the Earth. Then, the tail of the comet became entangled with the head and was repeatedly repelled by a series of electrical discharges.(2 ) The serpent was referred to in Hebrew literature of a later date as "Rahab" (Psalms 87:4 and 89:10, Isaiah 51:9 ) and as "Leviathan" (Psalm 74:13, Isaiah 27 ...
462. Milk and honey [Journals] [SIS Review]
... these stones, and some vague sites around the arc of hills surrounding it, is the legend attached to them. A goddess was associated with hiding in a local cave in a nearby hillside. She had appeared in the form of a white cow and had flown over the hills dispensing milk. I can see the connection between cow and comet and why a cave had become her lair once she had disappeared from view. The real mystery is the milk. What was it .. . some kind of liquid falling out of the sky (? ) Has anybody got an answer? I've always been a bit sceptical about Velikovsky's manna from heaven but the universality of the milk ...
... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part One: Meteors And Weather II - Hurricanes And Their Origin THE weather remains fine or wet over a period according to the absence or presence of meteoric bodies. After a disturbance of any magnitude the effects are felt over a wide area and sometimes for a considerable time. Let us look at the famous Tokyo Earthquake of 1923, when in Tokyo alone 350,000 houses were destroyed and there were over 130 000 casualties. At noon on September 1, 1923, Tokyo, Yokohama, and other were shaken almost to pieces and the after effects were felt over a considerable area. The summer prior to ...

... ' temple in his four years of reign than "those things which King Ramses II, the Great God, did for thee in his sixty-seven years" Translated by J. H. Breasted: Ancient Records of Egypt (Chicago, 1906), IV, p. 228. Exploded Myths?In a refreshing approach to the origin of comets, a recent study in the American astronomical journal Icarus carries forward the theory, first proposed in 1801, that the asteroids are the debris of a planet formerly orbiting between Mars and Jupiter. Building on the work of OVENDEN, who has shown that this must have been a Jupiter-type planet of around 90 Earth masses, THOMAS VAN FLANDERN ...
465. The Aristotelian Cosmos [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... the Immanuel Velikovsky Centennial Celebration, 1895-1995 (N .Y . 1997), pp. 116-130. The Aristotelian Cosmos Ginenthal 3 The greatest exponent of uniformitarianism in the ancient world was Aristotle who Rose pointed out made celestial catastrophes totally impossible.4 Since Aristotle's planets were embedded in invisible celestial spheres within which they circled the central Earth, and comets were only emanations of gases rising from the Earth, then nothing outside the Earth existed that could penetrate and upset this system. Aristotle's cosmos was perfectly safe and perfectly secure. The work of Claudius Ptolemy, who made a mathematical model of Aristotle's cosmos in his great work the Almagest, gave scientific substance to that vast uniformitarian system which ...
... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Four: The Deterioration Of Climate II - The Rising Oceans THE coasts of Britain, in regard to the encroachment of the seas, differ little from other similar places. In all of them the steady encroachment has persisted for many centuries, but never so rapidly as at the present time. Alarm is beginning to be felt in many coastal resorts at the apparent increase in the sea-depths and the consequent devastation of the foreshore. A few years ago, in 1925 to be accurate, a London daily newspaper asked if England was "tilting," and reported from Minehead, Somerset, round Land's End to ...
467. The Saturn Thesis (Part 4) [Journals] [Aeon]
... aspects. So we are not surprised to discover that the serpent-hair of the Medusa is juxtaposed with the scallop shell. This kind of juxtaposition is, of course, the way ancient artists were able, within the constraints of a pre-scientific language, to record and interpret what was seen in the sky. AEON: Aren't serpents themselves symbolic of comets and, therefore, of a cometary Venus? Talbott: Yes, and, in fact, the idea that the coma or "radiance" of Venus would take the form of "serpents" leads to a further identification. Take the seven-headed Naga of Hindu myth for instance. Again, it seems quite clear that the artists were ...

... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Four: The Deterioration Of Climate I - The Invasion of The Seas "OLD Man Sea" is a sinister character. Slowly but surely he is undermining the foundations of the earth on which we move and have our being. Fire is subdued by water. For a brief moment fire may triumph. In the long run, however, water remains supreme, for it endures whilst fire does not. At the present time it is advisable to recollect that the seas occupy a superficial area far in excess of the land surfaces, and it will be seen that the waters are steadily conquering the lands which ...

... the Society in whose particular field of interest such a topic may lie. Write to Mr. J. B. Moore, Central Library, Clarence Rd., Hartlepool, Cleveland. The Editor, Radio Times. Sir, As The Sky at Night showed, Sir Fred Hoyle is the latest respected scientist to take mediaeval superstitions seriously. Comets, it seems, are not merely a portent of epidemic outbreaks - they actually cause them. Provoking as all this was, two omissions from the programme are even more intriguing. One lies in the fact that, after "seeding" the earth with Life itself and blaming comets for the plagues of European history, Sir Fred overlooked ...
