... earthquakes to whims of Zeus and Poseidon and world-destructions to battles of the sky-gods. The ultimate Milesian agenda may therefore have been to liberate people from paralysing fear of the immediate recurrence of celestial disturbances in the recent past. By insisting that world-destructions occurred only in vast cycles of time (such as a "great year" whose winter solstice was Deluge and summer solstice Conflagration) the Milesian School was schematically distorting memories of recent disturbances, and its activity may be seen as part of a general pattern of oblivion and psychological distancing common to all cultures after the end of the Bronze Age catastrophes. But by insisting that these world-destructions occurred only as the result of unalterable elemental processes, it ...
162. The Races Of Homo Sapiens [Journals] [Kronos]
... of little or no consequence, but a chronological benchmark becomes relevant to the actual means by which this bridge was inundated. Did it really result from an ages long polar melt, or is there perhaps another explanation? 3. Separation Ancient records from around the world attest to the near-total destruction of mankind in the distant past by a world-wide deluge. Preserved in these accounts are memories of a pre-deluge "Golden Age", a time when much of the world was like a garden. Climates, seasons, and weather had little variability. Man was one with nature and lived on the fruit of the land with the expenditure of little or no effort. Then came the Flood ...
163. A LOOK AT THE FUTURE [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , if it were small, but then the disaster would also be limited. .. .. .. But there is a snag in all this Were all major catastrophes really caused by cosmic collisions? According to Velikovsky, the Great Catastrophe that was the ultimate cause of all other cosmic catastrophes in the history of mankind was the Universal Deluge, which came when Saturn exploded as a nova . Should we draw the conclusion that one great catastrophe, the greatest of them all, was not caused by a cosmic collision? No, says Velikovsky, Saturn's nova explosion was the consequence of a close encounter between Jupiter and Saturn (4 ) And this thesis is in good agreement ...
164. Nova of Super Uranus and Ejection of the Moon [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , which was partially overridden by the Alps. It will be noted, too, how the Atlantic Ocean crack probably shot out from an Arctic base, traveled swiftly but against resistance, and then branched off to circumnavigate the south Pacific area, sending four continents on their separate journeys: South America, Africa, Australia and Antarctica. A deluge of water fell from Uranus Minor as it passed. These waters more than replaced the water carried away with the lost crust, fell into the hot fissures and onto the volcanoes blasted into existence at the passage. There the waters exploded, expediting further cracking of the continents. The world, which shortly before had been heading for an ...
165. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Two [Books]
... inundations in the early history of China. The now familiar thirteen years labour are seen as the time taken for the mopping-up' operations following this great flood, rather than as the time taken to construct a drainage system effective enough both to control the inundations and to enable the reclamation of marshlands for agriculture. The possible connection with the Noachian deluge completes the catastrophic picture. All this is in accordance with V's scenario, though of course, Hübner does not mention anything like a cometary cause for this flood, and neither does he say that it was the result of a gigantic tidal wave that engulfed China. As for the solar prodigy, Hübner's "after that .. . ...

... expands upon the ideas of Whiston and suggests an encounter with a large comet modified earth's previously circular orbit into an elliptical orbit. Each year was lengthened by ten days, one hour, and thirty minutes. The cometary passage pulled the oceans up into and eight mile high flood tide, which together with condensation from the atmosphere, caused the Deluge. Hoerbiger, Hans and Fauth, Philipp. Glazialkosmogonie. 1913. This book details the "ice cosmology" which was adopted enthusiastically in Germany during the 1930s and 1940s. Bellamy adopted Hoerbiger's ideas of the acquisition and destruction of a series of moons by the earth as the basis of a catastrophist theory for the history of the earth ...

... moraines or laminations whicht remain after the carbon dioxide ice melts. There are as many as 20 or 30 plates or laminations in the north polar region, indicating that the pole has wandered by as much as 10 or 20 degrees.32 Mars, incidentally, also has dried-up river beds, which suggest it has also had some sort of deluge, perhaps an interplanetary dumping of ice, or an ice age which melted subsequently into rivers. The dry beds also suggest that Mars should be kept in the cosmic scenario as we try to understand the Earth's deluge, which might have occurred as recently as 2478 B.C ., l08 years. 9.

... not fear for its fate. Hoerbiger's is a cosmological theory based upon technical considerations. Its teaching of the cataclysms is founded upon cosmic necessity and not upon the great myths. But, when it began to become known outside the small circle of cosmologists and astronomers who were first interested, some mythologists found that, on the one hand, deluge and other myths gave vivid. illustrations to Hoerbiger's scientific deductions, while, on the other hand, these myths gained tremendously in meaning when tackled with the aid of his theory. In grateful recognition of the armoury of facts which this new theory of the heavens and the Earth placed at the disposal of the writer of this Book he ...
169. Black Sea Flood [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a student at Brigham Young University. John McHugh dated the Biblical cum Sumerian flood myths to 6000BC, a date very close to the proposed Black Sea inundation. The dissertation was rejected for publication by a major journal but has since become a news story that has come back to haunt them. The title is interesting to sky-focussed catastrophism, The Deluge: A Mythical Story that was Projected onto the Constellations. McHugh claims the story was in effect pinned down in the stars, presumably at some stage after the event. This happened before the invention of writing by the Sumerians and the constellations were used as a picture book to relate the basic themes of the flood story. The constellation ...
170. The Darkness, Part 1 Venus Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... time when hailstones of iron fell from the sky, and the sun and the moon disappeared (were stolen from the sky) and did not appear again; in their stead, after a period of darkness, a new sun and a new moon were placed in the sky.(8 ) Caius Julius Solinus writes that "following the deluge which is reported to have occurred in the days of Ogyges, a heavy night spread over the globe." (9 ) In the manuscripts of Avila and Molina, who collected the traditions of the Indians of the New World, it is related that the sun did not appear for five days; a cosmic collision of stars preceded ...
