... (Jun 1980) Home | Issue Contents Interaction On Fermor's article on ante-diluvian climate John P. Pseudonym There are a number of things I'd like to say in reply to the Fermor article on ante-diluvian climate (C &AH, August 1978): Fermor's approach is not that of the Catastrophist, yet he accepts the idea of a Universal Deluge. He advocates the idea that a warm climate is evidenced by "fossil evidence that in preglacial times there were warmer conditions in high altitudes [sic] and wetter conditions in present-day deserts." (I'm sure latitudes was meant, not altitudes.) This argument, explaining the presence of corals and coal deposits under the polar ice-clad ...
132. Solar System Studies (Part 2) [Journals] [Aeon]
... also common indicating intense moonquakes took place in the past. Seismometers placed on the Moon show current moonquakes to be numerous but weak, have detected meteoritic shower impacts and show the lunar crust to be about 50 km thick. Moon rocks brought back for analysis reveal no signs of ever having been exposed to water. Why the Moon was not deluged, while the Earth apparently was, will be discussed in a later section. The Earth The Earth is the largest Solarian terrestrial body, with an equatorial diameter of 12,756 km. It is massive enough to retain an atmosphere which consists of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% argon and traces of other gasses ...
133. Kadmos: The Primeval King [Journals] [Kronos]
... with regard to the fall of Baldur: "This was the greatest misfortune ever to befall gods and men."(45) A classic example of the collapse of the primordial kingdom is that of the mysterious disappearance of Atlantis as related by Plato. It is my opinion that the swallowing up of Tantalus?primeval city-kingdom during a great deluge should be seen as a parallel to the Atlantis legend, as should the watery disappearance of Kekrops' city of Athenae.* [* In a future essay I hope to discuss the fall of Saturn's celestial city, a city represented in Egyptian hieroglyphics as the band of the Aten [* !* Image] from whence, most ...
... us. To start with Egypt, then, The Old Kingdom precedes the catastrophes reconstructed in Worlds in Collision, and Velikovsky has promised a separate volume dealing with the earlier catastrophes [4 ] which Egyptians in the Old Kingdom were concerned to memorialize. All the religions I am using as examples make references to these earlier events, particularly the Deluge, but in none of the others are there religious texts available in materials which actually predate -1500. (Other cultures, such as the Sumerian, do possess such texts in abundance; Old Kingdom Egypt will suffice ice for one example here.) The events with which the Egyptians were obsessed from the beginning of their civilization were those ...
135. The Celestial Tower [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 2003 No 1 (March 2003) Home | Issue Contents Article The Celestial Tower Emmet J Sweeney In every corner of the globe, from Lapland to southern Africa, and from Mexico to China, there is a traditon of how a deluge caused by erratic movements of the heavenly bodies brought to an end a paradisal age of innocence, and how mankind (or in some cases a race of giants or titans) attempted to reopen communciation with heaven by erecting a tower that reached to the sky. Westerners are perhaps most familiar with the biblical version of the story, the Tower of Babel. In this account, it is the ambition ...
136. The Jupiter Order [Books] [de Grazia books]
... visible electric arc is plain. The golden Age of Saturn contrasts both culturally and physically with the bright harsh Age of Jupiter. We must explain brighter skies, a worsened climate, a larger role for sporadic electrical phenomena, and certain striking astronomical movements of Jupiter's "Olympian family", The Earth emerged from the magnetic tube following the Saturnian Deluge (about 5,700 BP) with its rotational axis forcibly relocated. While in the tube, it was constrained to maintain a magnetic axis along the tube's perimeter. Freed from the tube, the magnetic axis found a new alignment in the magnetic field induced by the apparent motion of the charged Sun about the Earth. This magnetism ...
137. Plato (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... nothing worth speaking of regarding matters of antiquity. On one occasion, desirous of getting the priests to talk about ancient times, Solon told them some of the oldest of our myths, the story of Phoroneus,15 the reputed `First Man', and of Niobe,16 and the tale of how Deucalion and Pyrrha 17 survived the deluge. [22b] He traced the line of their descendants, and reckoning up the generations tried to compute how long ago these events might have happened. Thereupon one of the oldest priests spoke up saying: `Ah, Solon, Solon! You Greeks . . . are like children. You know nothing of ancient things handed down ...
138. Falling Dust and Stone [Books] [de Grazia books]
... image lets the children be amused. But the insistence with which this particular canard is purveyed says something about the fear of falling skies, which absurdly seems to grip even the savants in their obsession with foisting it upon their perceived ancestors and their descendents. In the most ancient legends it is common to find references to more than comets and deluges of water. Deluges from the sky consist also of dust, loess, stones, glass, tar, oil, salt, gold, iron, ashes, carbohydrates - all of them sometimes hot and sometimes aflame. They are invariably tied to catastrophes. Donnelly collected some of the stories: We read in the Ute legends.. ...
139. Saturn's Flare-ups [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... he continued, "that the Jewish God was originally a Saturn figure as might be readily concluded by virtue of the name El which was the name for both the Jewish God and the name for Saturn." He then went on to add that "Cardona suggests that he was identified with Jupiter and it is indeed feasible that after the deluge .. . this god took over Saturn's identity." There is much to complain about in all this. In the first place it is not true that it was Yahweh who created the "two lights". According to Genesis 1:16, that act was performed by Elohim. Nor is it correct to speak of El ...
140. Volcanism And Catastrophic Mythology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of the Thera volcano, which involved a caldera collapse, was directly responsible for the destruction of the Minoan civilisation on Crete in the Bronze Age. This has led to further speculation by Galanopoulos and others that this supposed destruction of Crete could have been the source of the Atlantis story and, further, that the plagues of Egypt and the deluge of Deukalion could refer to the same catastrophic event. At first sight the enormous range of damage which can be inflicted by an active volcano might seem more than sufficient for a catastrophic mythology. The most common view of volcanic lava flows destroying everything in their path is in fact a very limited one. In addition to, or instead ...
