... seems that there is none or exceedingly little. The surface of Mars is all pocked by craters; it does not have a bucolic appearance as some thought, but is a landscape of pits and crags and waste. Between Mars and Jupiter fragments of some exploded body, numbering in the thousands, move on orbits, and some of them cross the path of Mars and even of Earth. Several of the chunks are billions of tons heavy, but none is conceivable as an abode of life. Jupiter and Saturn, five and nine times farther from the Sun than the Earth, receive per equal area something like one twenty-fifth and one eightieth of the solar light and heat that ...
272. On The Russian Plains. Ch.4 Ice (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... Czar Nicholas I to make a geological survey of the empire. Out of this survey grew recognition of the Permian System; the Permian, Silurian, and the Devonian, also first recognized by Murchison (Devonian in collaboration with Sedgwick), constitute three of the great divisions in the modern concept of early geological ages. For many months Murchison crossed the latitudes and longitudes of Russia, carefully observing the erratic boulders strewn over the great Russian plains and rechecking the validity of Agassiz's theory. In Finland and the northern Russian provinces he found very large blocks; but they diminished in size the farther south one went, which pointed to the action of water, a tide that came down ...
273. The Erratic Boulders. Ch.2 Revolution (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... Boulders "THE WATERS of the ocean in which our mountains had been formed still covered a part of these Alps when a violent paroxysm of the globe suddenly opened great cavities .. . and ruptured many rocks. . . . "The waters were carried toward these abysses with extreme violence, falling from the height they were before; they crossed deep valleys, and dragged immense quantities of earth, sand, and debris of all kinds of rocks. This mass, shoved along by the onrush of great waters, was left spread up the slopes where we still see many scattered fragments."1 Thus did Horace Bénédict de Saussure, foremost Swiss naturalist of the end of the ...
274. A New Introduction to Earth in Upheaval [Journals] [SIS Review]
... realised in its meaning to Earth. Our glorious day luminary sends tongues of plasma to lick its planets that splay and harden their magnetic shields to protect themselves from such lovemaking. Radio signals are sent by planets to tell of the anguishes of their inorganic souls and radio signals come from colliding galaxies, and the placid universe is but an expanse crossed by radiation some of which is lethal, by fragments of disintegrated bodies, by signals of danger sounded from all directions, the only peace coming from the conviction that no great unpleasantness could be in store for us, for the jewel of creation, certainly not by the will of a loving Deity, not by the decree of omniscient ...
... now known as Palestine and specifically all of the territory conquered by Joshua some forty years later.[Footnote: B-HE, p. 303.] [Footnote: G-WOT, p. 69.]'... This battle at last enabled Thutmose to do what he had been fighting ten years to attain, for he himself now crossed the Euphrates into Mitanni and set up his boundary tablet on the east side, an achievement of which none of his fathers could boast. Thutmose III reached the Euphrates River, which was the natural boundary of the Egyptian Empire at its greatest extent. ' Egypt held some degree of control of this area for 150 years or more after ...
276. Setting And Using The Stonehenge Nineteen Year Sun-Moon Calendar [Journals] [Horus]
... and Moon time for 27 July 1985 and is ready to operate as an astronomical "clock." From this point the Sun marker is moved clockwise two holes per day and the Moon marker is moved clockwise one space per day, switching every other revolution from the 30 to the 29-day Lunar Circle, and back, as indicated by the crossed arrows. Because of the fractional values of the solar year and the lunar month, intercalations and slight adjustments, as determined by visual observation, will have to be made periodically with the markers to keep the "hands" of the calendar in accurate synchronization with these two celestial bodies. At Stonehenge, the month of the year is ...
277. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Theory), W.J . Jong (Actualism in Geology and Geography, reprinted from a Dutch geological journal) and Vit Klemes (Geophysica1 Time Series and Catastrophism, a paper presented at the McMaster symposium). The two earlier papers enquire into the "scientific process"; Jong's, while scorning "modern fantasies about Venus recently having crossed the earth's orbit", finds that "A provisional assumption of uniformity, an actualistic approach in a post-actualistic environment, is indispensable, whether it is studied as a key to the past or as a key to the future. But in this, if anywhere, we should be aware of the need for constant revision of this very ...
278. The Thunderbolt in Myth and Symbol [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... : Lighting appears as an undulating, fiery serpent. #14: Lightning takes the form of twins, two brothers, or two companions, each viewed as the alter ego of the other. #15: Lightning is two serpentine or rope-like filaments wound around a central axis (caduceus motif) #16: Lightning appears as an equal-limbed cross; it explodes as luminous streamers, dividing the home of the gods into equal quarters. #17: Lighting "blossoms" as a flower, the celebrated plant of life. #18: Lightning is fire and brimstone (sulfur). The lightning of the gods gives rise to a sulfurous stench. #19: In their ...
279. Instantaneous Polar Shifts [Journals] [Aeon]
... extreme. Earth acts approximately like a gyroscope in response to lunar and solar tides because (a ) the tidal forces change very slowly when compared to the shear strength of Earth, and (b ) changes in tidal force propagate through the body of Earth at the speed of gravity, which happens to be the speed of light (Earth crossing time about 0.05 seconds). This means that, in effect, the lunar and solar torques are applied to all parts of the Earth simultaneously. But an asteroid impact is (a ) very fast compared to the shear strength of Earth and (b ) is not applied to all points of Earth at the same time ...
280. Rockenbach's 'De Cometis' and the Identity of Typhon [Journals] [SIS Review]
... for the pharaoh, and expresses a view that this king "is Tau Timaeus (Tutimaeus) of Manetho, in whose days a blast of God's displeasure' fell upon Egypt. . . " (1 ) The el-Arish inscription relates how Thom perished in "the place of the whirlpool" amid circumstances which closely parallel the events at Israel's crossing of the Red Sea (2 ). In Velikovsky's view, therefore, Typhon is the pharaoh of the Exodus. Because of Velikovsky's synchronising of the Exodus with the collapse of Egypt's Middle Kingdom, Typhon is also the last of the independent Middle Kingdom pharaohs, reigning just before the invasion of the Hyksos. But according to the sentence ...
