... Pope' (no source cited) includes the notion that oceanic water will invade continents'. That fragile base - less compelling even than Plato's fantasy - emboldens Spedicato to conclude: "From the Clube and Napier scenario discussed earlier about the Earth intersecting every seven hundred years the debris of a fragmented comet, and the forecast that the next crossing is due in the first half of next century, it comes quite natural to assume that the third secret deals with the effects of a super Tunguska impact over an ocean in a next [presumably = the near] future." One would not wish to suggest that the pursuit of scientific ends precludes spiritual belief, but matters of ...
392. The MacCecht and Cuchulainn [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Traditions, Superstitions, and Folklore 3. A story associated with St Patrick concerned Satan in the form of a huge rock falling out of the sky and threatening to crush him. He was sleeping and the incident, it was claimed, was a dream. He awoke and cried out for Elias, in the manner of Christ on the cross crying out to God the father. Elias is generally identified with Helios, the Sun, and the cry as a plea for morning to come, Satan being associated with darkness and night; he was also black. Elaleus was an epithet of Apollo while the same root lies in ella as in Cinderella. \cdrom\pubs\ ...
393. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... certainly on the advice of Alexandrian scholars, in his inaugural year of 45 BC Caesar adopted the calendar with a leap year every 4 years, recommended by the Canopus Decree of 338 BC. However, supposedly to bring his calendar back into line with traditional Roman dating, his inaugural year included an additional 3 months. Thus, his January crossing of the Rubicon, that started the civil war, was not made in 49 BC, but in the Autumn of what we now refer to as 50 BC. Prior to Caesar's reform, Rome used the calendar introduced by Numa, the successor to the city's founder, Romulus, who early in his reign added the months of January ...
... figure, reminiscent of the Antichrist Legend, of which so little is known although so much that is obscure survives. The Antichrist Legend states that before the world of that time was largely destroyed by the impact of a vast star which fell on the earth, there appeared the Son of Man in the Heavens, with the sign of the Cross.1 A HUMAN METEORITE Ottawa, Thursday. A large luminous meteorite was seen to fall to earth in the vicinity of this city yesterday evening, leaving in its wake a man's figure in brilliant outline, which remained for at least five minutes. It was seen by hundreds of citizens in the western sky. As it was seen ...
395. The End Of Atlantis (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... the wrench of lunar gravitation deformed and fissured that region, and the waters of the capture tide rose over it. This scum greatly impeded the passage of vessels, and in places stopped it altogether. This is the best explanation of passages 25d and 108e which tell of `impassable barriers, or shoals, of mud, which made the crossing or exploration of the part of the ocean where Atlantis was situated impossible'. Submerged obstacles like, for instance, the Goodwin Sands are hardly admissible in the area in question. When at last they realized to the full the awful truth of what had happened to their country, and heaved their leads to sound for it, they ...
396. Capture Flood Myths (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... waters overwhelmed his land. Similar myths were current in Attica and Phrygia. A flood myth which points to the overflowing of the Black Sea and the rising waters of the Mediterranean is told of Dardanus. Having slain his brother Iasius, he fled from Arcadia, across the sea to Samothrace. When that island was threatened by a flood be crossed over to the Troad, where he eventually became the founder of the royal house of Troy. The Herero of South-West Africa say that a terrible flood overwhelmed Kaoko, their original home. While most of them were able to escape to the mountains, they lost all their riches, their great herds, with the exception of one bull ...
397. A Manuscript Becomes A Book. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... , who, more than two years earlier, in 1946, had left her graduate studies in the Physics Department of Columbia University and returned to her homeland. When the UN voted (in November 1947) for a Jewish homeland on a small partitioned part of what had been promised by the British mandate, the armies of seven Arab countries crossed their borders and attacked the overwhelmingly outnumbered defenders, in cities and kibbutzim, and the world watched the outcome of the struggle. We traveled by a roundabout route: by ship to France, then to Tunis by air, then to Athens, and finally by a small plane to Haifa. During my stay in Israel signs of fatigue ...
398. Pursuing A Ray Of Light. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... an earthquake or the eruption of a volcano that we have carried over from old traditions, historical inscriptions and legends. It is the story of the sun changing its place and the world burning, or the polar star changing its place, or Venus joining the family of planets.... Perhaps I delude myself, but the idea crosses my mind that this correspondence of ours will not be lost in the wastebasket of history. I do not know how to express my gratitude to you better than by writing a detailed answer to your letter. Pleasant in correspondence (I received several long letters, some in his careful handwriting), Adams was pleasant also in personal contact ...
399. Jove's Thunderbolts. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... when the Carnegie Institution astronomers scanned the sky for radio noises from faraway galaxies. The noises were so strong that the discoverers thought they were caused by some experiments in a neighboring radio station. It was only after they found out that the noises were repeated every third day for six minutes, when the receiving antenna was directed toward the spot crossed at these minutes by Jupiter, that the astronomers came to the correct conclusion, unexpected and surprising as it was. In November 1955, Harlow Shapley, reviewing the field of astronomy for the year that was coming to a close, selected a few "highlights" as the most important events of the year. At the top of ...
400. The Synodical Year Of Venus, Part 1 Venus Ch.10 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... (12) In the second half of the second millennium and in the beginning of the first millennium, Venus was still a comet; and though a comet can have a circular orbit there is such a comet in the solar system(13)- Venus was not then moving on a circular orbit as it does now; its orbit crossed the orbit of the earth and endangered it every fifty years. Since, by the second half of the eighth century before the present era, Venus' cycle was similar to what it is today, it follows that some time before then Venus must have changed its orbit and achieved its present circular path between Mercury and the earth and ...
