... , the Blue Ox, drank the river dry every fifteen minutes, and the sweat from Paul and Babe was so great that it collected together to form the Great Salt Lake. The presence of Babe in the tale was obviously another representation of the bull motif that Velikovsky associated with Venus worship, "the pure bull that was undoubtedly the comet (or vice versa)." According to Menzel, even the "Hey Diddle-Diddle" nursery rhyme becomes an important historical document if analyzed in a proper Velikovskian manner. The cow that jumped over the moon was the comet of course; the "cat and the fiddle" are the constellations Lynx and Lyre. The fact that both ...
672. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... more such omens as "falls of blood" for soothsayers to ponder on) and the "fire from heaven" of ignited hydrocarbons from the tail. In the autumn contacts, on the other hand, the Earth, preceding Venus in its revolution and with Venus observed as Evening Star, appears to have passed through the tail of the comet further down from the head. This tail, as Velikovsky has repeatedly stressed, was hundreds of millions of miles long, and could certainly have reached the Earth at all points on its orbit. Thus, in spring contacts nearer the head of the comet, heavy meteoritic material showered the Earth. In autumn contacts lighter material appears to ...
673. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... .1 .87 p.7 We said we would doubtless hear more of Louis Frank and his theory of oceans of cometary origin (Workshop 1986:1 , p.27). Apparently there was a lively debate between Frank and critics at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union. Among the questions put was one on why the comets had not been spotted (yet), to which Frank responded by suggesting a "dedicated survey for about six months". Another critic stated that impacts on the Moon should have been detected by the seismographs left there on Apollo missions, to which Frank suggested that the impacts might have generated sound waves of too high a frequency. ...
674. The Heavenly Host [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , - pollen of the flowering godhead, links of light, halls, steps, thrones, welkins, shields of joy, uproars beauty then suddenly, singly mirrors scooping up outpoured beauty back into your own faces. To the quantavolutionist, the presence of naturally occurring "angels" is logical and historical. More puzzling is whether they were comets, planets, or meteorites. Thus, the astronomers Strube and Napier attempted a natural history of the encounters between Earth and comets, and argue that in the early days of mankind disastrous comets were variously named and, when they had retired to the farther reaches of the solar system or had crashed or broken up, their natures and ...

... fallen, Lucifer. . . ." Yet plague and environmental distress are specifically associated with the reign of Assurbanipal in roughly the year 642 B.C . (and subsequent investigation may reveal still later incidents). Arabic tribesmen in Syria and north Arabia were afflicted by Erra (= Ares, Nergal), the plague god (a comet?), and at the same time the expansionary Assyrian empire went into dramatic decline, a crisis attributed by some historians to a lack of human resources (were large numbers decimated by plague? we might wonder), the machinery of the empire grinding into reverse due to a collapse in population needed to run the system effectively. ...
676. Saturn's Sacred Mountain [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... threatened collision with Earth during the time of Exodus was "diverted at the last minute by Mars." [21] As all serious Velikovsky students are aware, nowhere is a "last minute" diversion by Mars described by Velikovsky. According to him, direct collision was averted by an electrostatic cushioning effect. "The head of the comet [Venus] did not crash into the earth, but exchanged major electrical discharges with it." [22] Mars did not even play a part in the Exodus catastrophe. In Worlds in Collision Mars does not threaten Earth until seven hundred years later. [23] Following in Velikovsky's footsteps, Donald Patten et al. had ...

Velikovsky, Worlds in Collision, "Samples from the Planets". - LMG] SNAKES AND COMETS Not much is now known about the Diasia but, in its time, it was the primary Attic ceremony dedicated to Zeus. Concerning this rite, Harrison states: "We are brought face to face with the astounding fact that Zeus, father of gods and men, is figured by his worshippers as a snake."(40 ...
678. The Prodigal Archive [Books] [de Grazia books]
... a book in two parts, one on the Venus catastrophes, the second on the Mars catastrophes. These conform to two sets of events that are claimed to have befallen the world in the years around 1450 and 700 B.C ., about seven hundred years apart. The planet Venus, argued Velikovsky, began its career as a comet that probably exploded from the giant planet Jupiter sometime, whether a few years or thousands of years before its disastrous encounters with Earth. (V . never used B.C . preferring BCE, "Before the Common Era" or a simple negative [as -1450], begrudging the calendar of world history to the Christians, which ...

From: Jim McCanney, jmccanney@usinternet.com Date Tue, 13 Jan 1998 212404 -0600 Sure is amazing how my theories are being borrowed. The dipole red shift is an integral part of my 3-part comet paper published in early 1980s in Kronos (IX:1 , IX:3 & X:2 ) "The Nature and Origin of Comets and the Evolution of Celestial Bodies".

680. Cosmic Water Traced by ISO [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... . This happened at the origin of the Solar System, and incidentally supplied the water which accounts for more than half of a human being's body weight. In retracing this history, ISO also observes water in the form of ice in cooler regions around the stars, and in the dust surrounding young stars, from which planets could evolve. Comets represent an intermediate stage in planet-building, and they contain much water ice. According to one hypothesis the newly formed Earth received some of its water directly from impacting comets. ...
