... our Irish towers." On the lower or square part of the stambhas or solitary pillars of the Jains of southern India, says Fergusson, as well as on the pillars inside the temples at Moodbidri and elsewhere in Canara, we find " that curious interlaced basket-pattern which is so familiar to us from Irish manuscripts or the ornaments of Irish crosses. It is equally common in Armenia, and can be traced up the valley of the Danube into central Europe." Of course this last bit is only one of Fergusson's "views," and need not be conceded more than its clue modicum of weight. To show how the Moslems sometimes add the round minaret, here is ...
262. Sagan's second problem: Repeated collisions among the Earth, Venus and Mars (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... exist and the comet would reapproach Jupiter closely precisely as a body that nearly collided with the Earth would have a high probability of close reapproach to the Earth. That reason is "gravitation". Furthermore, in dealing with statistical probability of a comet or asteroid striking the Earth, Sagan states in his book Comet, "Many asteroids that cross the Earth's orbit are probably extinct comets. Because they tend to be small and dim, they are hard to find. There are fewer than a hundred known objects that cross the orbit of Mars or Earth, and this is after a decade of intense searching. These Earthapproaching asteroids are of particular interest to us, because they represent ...
263. The Shadow Of Death, Part 1 Venus Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... destruction of the fourth sun, the world plunged in darkness during the space of twenty-five years. Amid this profound obscurity, ten years before the appearance of the fifth sun, mankind was regenerated." In the years of this gloom, when the world was covered with clouds and shrouded in mist, the Quiché tribe migrated to Mexico, crossing a sea enveloped in a sombre fog.(9 ) In the so-called Manuscript Quiché it is also narrated that there was "little light on the surface of the earth .. . the faces of the sun and of the moon were covered with clouds."(10) In the Ermitage Papyrus in Leningrad previously mentioned there are ...
264. Confirmation of Dr Velikovsky's Theories Regarding Electromagnetic and Electrostatic Forces in Celestial Mechanics [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the Moon and Mercury" by P.H . Schultz & L.J . Srnka in NATURE, 6/3 /80, p.22-6. This article was summarised in WORKSHOP 2:4 , p.9 , but I wish to present a different gloss. Schultz & Srnka refer to enigmatic bright and dark swirls which cross portions of the lunar farside, and link them to lunar regions containing strong magnetic anomalies. These swirls are thought to be geologically young, not magnetised by an active lunar dynamo, but rather by colliding comets acting to amplify the magnetic field (i .e . during impact). As a strong magnetic anomaly has been correlated with ...
265. "With Hatbrims Pulled Down". File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... the reading of Worlds in Collision became a clandestine affair. Inquisitive minds among members of the teaching profession would read the book enclosed in four walls but would hardly show themselves in public with it under their arms. No student of the sciences who cared about the opinion of his examiners would openly read my book. I can hardly imagine anybody crossing the Harvard or Yale campus with the heretical book in the red dust jacket in his hand. The astronomers at the Harvard College Observatory borrowed from Professor Pfeiffer the copy I had inscribed for him and never returned it to him, probably believing that one book taken out of circulation is like one more weed pulled from a garden sown with ...
266. Worlds In Collision. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... . About two weeks passed after the day I realized that the earth had traveled through a huge train of meteorites and underwent a disturbance in its rotation, and I was on a new trail. Reading the books on old Mexican history, I was surprised to find the name of the planet Venus mentioned often. One early morning the question crossed my mind: Was not this planet in some way connected with the disturbances? The Mexican sources, several more of which I had by then read, referred to the first appearance of the planet Venus after the catastrophe; the very darkness, the hurricane, and the burning of the world were ascribed to the action of the star ...
267. A LOOK AT THE FUTURE [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... possibilities of nuclear weapons had been realised, we thought that such a thing as Doomsday did not exist. Today, we are aware of several threats to mankind. Some of these are manmade others are of cosmic nature and have been there all the time. In Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky mentioned the fact that some asteroids have orbits that cross the orbit of the Earth (2 ). A recent estimate of the number of asteroids larger than one kilometer in diameter that could possibly strike the Earth is 750 300. According to Wetherill (3 ), roughly four of these should strike the Earth in every million years. The effect of the impact of such an asteroid depends ...

269. The Saturn Myth: Contents [Books]
... reveals the fundamental themes of Saturn imagery and proves that all of them- including the "cosmic ship", the "island at the top of the world", the "eye of heaven" and "the revolving temple" were based on celestial observations in the northern sky. In addition he shows how such diverse symbols as the Cross, "sun" -wheels, holy mountains, crowns of royalty and sacred pillars grew out of ancient Saturn worship. Talbott contends that Saturn's appearance at the time, radically different from today, inspired man's leap into civilization, since many aspects of early civilization can be seen as conscious efforts to re-enact or commemorate Saturn's organization of his ...
270. Halley's Comet in Collision? (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... in 1404 B.C . In discussion afterwards, Yeomans shied away from discussing the near-collision aspects of his work and became quite uncomfortable when a questioner compared the 1404 B.C . passage with Worlds in Collision. Yeomans preferred, instead, to discuss the final passage in terms of the associated one month uncertainty in the date of its crossing Earth's orbit. In other words, the uncertainty in the position of the comet at a given time can also be interpreted in terms of uncertainty in time given the position. If Halley's missed Earth by a month, the passage would not have been particularly spectacular. The next closest passage by Earth was 5.7 million km, ...
