492. Quartered At Yale [Journals] [Kronos]
... people of the Maya rejoiced. Great bonfires announced that a new period of grace was granted and a new Venus cycle of 52 years started. The period is called the Venus cycle, as is known to every student of Mexican lore [Seler, Gesammelte Abhandlungen, 1, 618ff.]. Sahagun also narrated that the Mexicans called a comet "a star that smoked"; the Mexicans likewise referred to Venus as "a star that smoked". And G. A. Dorsey, of the Field Museum of Natural History, described the ceremony of sacrifice to the Morning Star (Venus) as a "dramatization of the acts performed by the Morning Star." A ...

494. Chapter II: The Events [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... not seem entirely adequate since the ancients did not seem to have the same fascination with saying the Moon grew horns. It seems even less reasonable because the phases of Venus cannot now be resolved with the naked eye. 25 If Venus were closer to the earth, the phases could be seen. If the atmosphere of Venus were elongated (comet like), the phases may have resembled horns more closely, but the appearance of horns may have had nothing to do with the phases of Venus. Comets generally have extended atmospheres which take on various shapes. NASA publication SP198 contains numerous photographs of comets taking on various shapes. Drawings of some of the comets are included with the ...
... of the entire branch of American astronomers, is thus jeopardized by a wager that Worlds in Collision is a calculated attempt to mislead the scientists and the public. [429] And how could the astronomers be so certain, when so many things were left unexplained by their existing theories? When there existed no satisfactory explanations for the behavior of comets, for the roundness of the sun, for the influences on auroras and radio reception of strongly charged particles from the sun? How could astronomers be so sure that there never had been and never could be comets as large as Venus, simply because one had not recently been observed by scientists? [429]. Velikovsky went further ...
496. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... extremely small. Plasma Mythology mythopedia.info/plasma-mythology.htm How the gods destroyed the world, by drs. Marinus Anthony van der Sluijs. Nov 2003, updated 29th Feb 2004, (illustrations & references omitted). INTRODUCTION: To the naked eye not much is happening in the nocturnal sky. With the exception of the odd comet or an unusual bright appearance of Mars the firmament can hardly be called a spectacular place. Seeing this it is all the more surprising, to say the least, that the cultures of antiquity took such an extraordinary interest in the heavens. Nor were they just interested, for a deeply rooted dread of the sky pervaded the ancient world ...
497. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . In the solar system we see the several planets moving round the sun in the same direction in orbits which are approximately circular and which lie nearly in the same plane. Dr Velikovsky asserts that this was not always so, but that in past times their orbits intersected; collisions between major planets occurred, which brought about the birth of comets. He states that in the time of Moses, about the fifteenth century B.C ., one of these comets nearly collided with the earth, which twice passed through its tail. [The earth experienced] the disrupting effect of the comet's gravitational pull,... intense heating and enormous tides... incessant electric ...

And the asteroid Eros also shows some unexplained surface features [see: www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/5421/eros.html] Comet jets are supposedly material subliming from their surface [eg see Giotto's image of Halley's Comet at http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/giotto.html], but Wal suggests that the jets are actually cathode arcs, due to the comet moving radially to the Sun in which the comet's voltage is changing ...

... but the most conspicuous volcanic acid fallout layer in 9000 years occurred -3150 90 in their core. This event does not correlate with any European volcano, and so applies to the Western Hemisphere. The question is, was it world wide? All sorts of evidence indicate that global things were happening at this time: the fragmentation of the proto comet Encke (Whipple), magnetic discontinuity (Smith), climatic deterioration (Lamb), ice core anomaly (Hammer), building of the pyramids (Hawkes), two calendars beginning with catastrophe- Indian (Parker) and Maya (Thompson), and the start of the Kish dynasty (Mellart). The geophysical evidence pointing ...

... dreaded night no catastrophe befell them, the Mayan people rejoiced. Great bonfires announced that a new period of grace was granted, and a new Venus cycle of fifty-two years started. The period is called the Venus cycle, as is known to every student of Mexican lore.(1 ) Sahagun also narrated that the Mexicans called Venus a comet, or a star that fumes. And George A. Dorsey, of the Field Museum of Natural History, described the ceremony of sacrifice to the Morning Star (Venus) as a "dramatization of the acts performed by the Morning Star." A human offering was made by the Pawnee Indians only a few generations ago, when ...
