... In Brief 1. From Hugh Eggleton of Kidlington, Oxford, we have had an alternative interpretation to that offered by Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision (part 1, chapter VIII, "The Birth of Venus") in which the latter says that Quetzalcoatl first appeared following a disaster in which the Earth had been overwhelmed by convulsions and a deluge. Mr Eggleton suspects that Velikovsky considered this catastrophe to be the Exodus event, since at the time of writing his book he probably favoured the view that Venus had only recently emerged from Jupiter. Instead, Mr Eggleton suggests that it is more likely that the disaster, after which Quetzalcoatl appeared for the first time, was the Noachian ...
152. The Cosmology Of Tawantinsuyu [Journals] [Kronos]
... to the worship of the Sun. Cristobal de Molina, a Spanish friar, wrote his Chronicle about the year 1573. He traces the cult of the Sun back to the reign of the first Inca, Manco Capac, and relates the first appearance of the Sun, together with that of the Moon, to the time immediately following the Deluge, these luminaries having been placed in the sky by the Creator. Manco Capac, who lived in the first post-diluvian era, made a covenant with the Sun that he and his descendants would adopt this luminary as their divine parent. Whether the Sun was the chief object of worship at this time is, however, open to question ...
... is generally remarkably peaceful, more so, perhaps, than any other part of the Mediterranean. The waters buried the fertile lowlands and valleys and left only the mountain tops above the waves as islands- the Cyclades, grouped round' Delos, and the Sporades, sown' broadcast elsewhere in the Aegean. And again, as in certain other deluge myths quoted in this book, those who escaped to the hills saw to their amazement that their refuges rode the waves like ships. According to a tradition current among the ancient Greeks, the island of Delos, to which Leto escaped, conducted' by wolves, drifted through the troubled waters of the newly formed sea till Zeus anchored ...
154. The Lately Tortured Earth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Publications Box 1213 Princeton, N.J ., U.S .A . 08542 Note: The word exo-terrestrial' is used in preference to extra-terrestrial. ' It is more exact etymologically, less romantic and sensational, and easier to pronounce. The design on the jacket is one of several drawings by Leonardo da Vinci of the "Deluge." He portrays the cataclysm as a terrific downbursting of water and whirlwinds.

... account. Significantly, to a modern mnemologist, Critias declared that although he had forgotten much of what he had heard of the previous day's discussions, he had forgotten none of what he had learned as a child about Atlantis. The Atlantis story is generally disbelieved, yet if an educated unbeliever were to compare it with the story of the Deluge of Noah in the Bible, it would appear to be just as (im)plausible. It is no less specific. The "author" of one is Plato, of the other, Moses; who is more reliable? True, Atlantis is no longer to be found, above or below the sea, and therefore presumed ...

... best be characterised as "unadventurous". Of particular interest to reader's of Velikovsky's books, however, are Axel Firsoff's short piece, "The Yuty Crater on Mars", arguing that the impact hypothesis of planetary cratering is being used as a "dogma", to the detriment of the facts, and backed up by "The Martian Deluge", a clever paper in which the Editor delves into the "psychology" of scientists of the uniformitarian school, instancing the way much of the new data on our planetary neighbours has been misinterpreted or twisted to support current doctrine. (His insight into the neuroses of the "Establishment" is brilliantly demonstrated by his noting the omission ...

158. The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain [Books]
... identify Atlantis with the British Isles. It transpired that the prehistoiy of the Atlanteans and the race of Adam possessed peculiar similarities. The supermen of Plato's island were drowned in a flood like the Adamites, the Giants of old time, men of renown the men whose thoughts became wholly evil, destroyed in what is called the Flood or universal Deluge. The cause advanced for their destruction was in effect the same in both cases, they being accused of having mastered too many of the divine secrets of, as we should say, science, or, as the ancients termed it, the gods. Their attainments, identifiable at least in part from various sources, gradually revealed a ...

... agricultural change, Halley and Newton now made them active agents. In their theories, historical, sacred, and geological periods were punctuated by cometary catastrophes." [9 ] While arguing her case, Genuth provides a good overview of such theorists as William Whiston, who held that the close approach of a great comet was responsible for the Deluge. Whiston's views, as it turns out, were fairly common in the Cambridge circle. Newton and Halley shared very similar views, in fact. Although her subject was the period prior to the 19th century, Genuth includes a brief appendix on modern day attempts to resurrect cometary catastro-phism as an important factor in the evolution (and extinction ...
... one of the labours of Hercules was to bring up from the underworld, for a short time, the hell-hound Cerberus, with its terrible face and dragon tail, and with snakes clinging to its body; this seems to point to a close passage of Luna outside the Earth and to an unsuccessful attempt at capture. The Egyptians called the deluges the work of heaven. They regarded them as a sort of disease which attacked the Earth after certain intervals of time. Evidently only minor inundations, due to passages of the planet Luna, can be meant. Among the myths of the Jews we find the following report: Before the flood, Kenan was king of the world. ...
