... This latter description brings us to a very important peculiarity: in almost every myth the dragon or serpent is connected with water, so much so, in fact, that it often becomes the regular symbol for water. In a very great number of myths, also, the dragon is prominently and intimately associated with that worldwide catastrophe, the Deluge. Hence mythologists have taken dragons merely as personifications of the Deluge. This is case with the Armenian feathered monster Van and the Egyptian Phoenix. The Egyptian name of the latter is bah-bahu, which also means to water' or to flood'. The hieroglyphic sign of the Phoenix is followed by three parallel wave lines, the water ...
122. The Most Incredible Story, Part 1 Venus Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... a previous discussion, I found that W. Whiston, Newton's successor at Cambridge and a contemporary of Halley, in his New Theory of the Earth (the first edition of which appeared in 1696) tried to prove that the comet of 1680, to which he (erroneously) ascribed a period of 575 ½ years, caused the biblical Deluge on an early encounter. G. Cuvier, who was unable to offer his own explanation of the causes of great cataclysms, refers to the theory of Whiston in the following terms: "Whiston fancied that the earth was created from the atmosphere of one comet, and that it was deluged by the tail of another. The heat ...
123. Resurrecting Genesis: Displacing the Failed Theory of Naturalistic Evolution, by John R. Hadd (Book Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Chapter 5 includes Digression on the Age Issue', in two parts. The first focuses on radiometric dating, and concludes that it cannot define the age of the Earth: the other finds uniformitarian interpretations of strata which ignore the evidence of cataclysms wholly unreliable. Both are surely correct. Between these digressions lies an extensive discussion of the Deluge, invoking Isaac Vail's fascinating concept of a Canopy surrounding the antediluvian Earth - rather as Venus is surrounded by a cloud canopy now; and Fasold's ingenious, if unlikely, design for Noah's Ark. But in the Mission of the Deluge', Hadd attempts to reconcile the megadeaths' it caused with his theological belief. His arguments are ...
124. Fire and Ash [Books] [de Grazia books]
... why the heavens are of fire and water; ish-vamayin (fire and water) make up shamyin (heaven) because the ancients thought of sunlight as fire, and the rains, of course, come from the sky [3 ]. G.R . Carli, writing in 1780, was already asserting that "the idea of a deluge of fire and a deluge of water was present among all peoples... This idea of fire and water... seems to recall tradition of an event of which the memory has endured. It is certainly odd that the indications manifested by a seaflood should have suggested the idea of a deluge of fire [4 ]. ...
125. Astral Kingship [Journals] [Aeon]
... the simultaneous appearance and interchangeability of light and Benben stone- which present themselves somewhat as a unity- signifies a stupendous cosmic event which resulted in the expulsion of considerable physical matter, the emanation of great light, and the discharge of abundant water. We are, in fact, suggesting that the Atum-Re myth is the legacy of the Saturnian Deluge proposed by Velikovsky. (42) Helios and Heliopolis Heliopolis was itself the Primeval Mound, the first part of the land world to appear from the depths of the waters and the dwelling place of the High God as light...Since the waters were in absolute darkness the emergence of God [Atum] meant the coming of ...
126. The Origin of Mankind [Books]
... up a man of its own accord that there might be a human race. This earth-born man was Pelasgus the ancestor of the earliest inhabitants of Greece. The Salinan Indians of California tell that the eagle-deity made the first man out of mud which a diving-bird had fetched from the bottom of the waters when the Earth was lost in the great deluge. The Karens of Burma, the Tahitians, and the Maoris also tell that the first human being made from clay was of male sex. Myths which tell that a woman was the first to be moulded are very rare. According to Hesiod, Hephaistos, the cunning artificer, moulded the first woman out of moist earth at the ...
127. The Two Sargons and Their Successors (Part II) [Journals] [Aeon]
... which he and his family ride the ensuing waves to safety. This is merely a different version of the story of Noah and, elsewhere, Velikovsky attributed this catastrophe to a much earlier age,(45) somewhere between "five and ten thousand years ago."(46) It is obvious, of course, that the universal deluge could not have occurred on two separate and widely divergent dates; the textual evidence cannot be made to accommodate both; and Velikovsky cannot have it both ways. Fine- Heinsohn has opted in favour of the later date. Is he then willing to accept that the Noachian deluge occurred as late as 1500 B.C .? Heinsohn ...

ADAM AND LILITH SETH AND HIS DESCENDANTS ENOSH THE FALL OF THE ANGELS ENOCH, RULER AND TEACHER THE ASCENSION OF ENOCH THE TRANSLATION OF ENOCH METHUSELAH THE TEN GENERATIONS THE BIRTH OF CAIN There were ten generations from Adam to Noah, to show how long-suffering is the Lord, for all the generations provoked Him unto wrath, until He brought the deluge upon them.[1 ] By reason of their impiousness God changed His plan of calling one thousand generations into being between the creation of the world and the revelation of the law at Mount Sinai; nine hundred and seventy-four He suppressed before the flood.[2 ] Wickedness came into the world with the first being born of woman ...
129. Canyons and Channels [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE Canyons and Channels The model river channel combines the history of an earth fault, a catastrophic torrent, and an erosional runoff bed. Most large rivers, perhaps all of them, are children of Okeanos, whom the Greeks called "the Father of Rivers" who personified the sky waters before the first deluges, as we said in Chapter 13, and then came down to Earth. His children carried his waters into the new ocean beds. Many myths appear to conjure rivers where none exist, and, of course, a great many dry river beds of once tremendous rivers are to be found around the world. During the Universal Flood ...
130. 'Worlds in Collision' After Heinsohn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... each of the four parts. Velikovsky's planetary scenario The summary of Saturn and the Flood and Jupiter of the Thunderbolt presented in four pages of Mankind in Amnesia [14] is typical in its preference for Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Hebrew and Greco-Roman sources, even though no effort is made to assign dates to these pre-Venus events. Velikovsky associates the Deluge with a nova of Saturn which unleashed water over the entire Solar System; when the planet was next seen, after a period of invisibility, it had rings. In the aftermath Jupiter collected much of the dispersed material and, rotating ever more swiftly, underwent fission'. The Deluge event itself he finds stripped of planetary associations in ...
