... I shall reproduce it here. Should a comet of the mass of the Earth pass close by, the axis and the movement of rotation would be changed. The seas would abandon their ancient positions, in order to precipitate themselves toward the new equator; a great portion of the human race and the animals would be drowned in the universal deluge, or destroyed by the violent shock imparted to the terrestrial globe; entire species would be annihilated; all monuments of human industry overthrown; such are the disasters which the shock of a comet would produce, if its mass were comparable to that of the earth. We see then, in effect, why the ocean has receded from ...

... miles and more broad at its source', 4 000feet and more deep, rushed down into the western lowlands with terrific speed. If we connect the lakes of Turkestan- Telli-nor, Ebi-nor, Ala-kul, Sasyk-kul-- with Lake Balkhash, we have traced the channel' of this deluge-river very fairly. In the Balkhash region the waters of the Asiatic deluge expanded to considerable dimensions, till the way to the west was found and this Sea of Turkestan drained down into the Aralo-Caspian depression. Over the Famine Steppe the waters reached the Aral Basin. Between the southernmost spurs of the Ural Mountains and the northernmost chains of the Iranian system the waters flowed west with great volume and vehemence. The ...
274. Worlds In Collision. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... of a planet in these disturbances puts into question, as we shall see, some notions accepted in celestial mechanics. After a number of months I became aware that William Whiston, Newton's successor at Trinity College in Cambridge, had advanced a theory of a comet's colliding with the earth. According to him, the collision brought about the Noachian deluge, and he identified the comet of disaster with the comet that appeared in his own time, in 1680. Then I learned that Ignatius Donnelly, an author and a member of the House of Representatives, had theorized (1883) about the origin of till as the result of a collision with a comet; he did not refer ...

... unravel the astronomical legends and symbols of antiquity, have questioned whether the heavenly bodies have always coursed on the same paths they follow today? In the past three hundred years barely a handful of writers have claimed any connection between myth and actual celestial catastrophe- William Whiston published in 1696 A New Theory of the Earth, arguing that the biblical Deluge resulted from a cometary cataclysm. The book produced a storm of scientific objections and had no lasting impact outside Christian orthodoxy. In 1882 and 1883 two books by Ignatius Donnelly appeared: Atlantis, the Antediluvian World, and Ragnarok: the Age of Fire and Gravel. Relying on global myths, Donnelly claimed that a massive continent called Atlantis ...
... chieftains and ecclesiastics. It is said that the kings and princes were influenced in their choice of this holy site especially by a strange prophecy relating to the destruction of the world and a flood from which lona would emerge unscathed. The words, translated from the ancient Gaelic, are these: Seven years before the end of the world A deluge shall drown the nations The sea at one tide shall cover Erin, And the green-clad Islay But Columba's Isle shall swim above the flood." (Thos. Pennant, Tour in Scotland, 1, p.278.) Confirming this prophecy there are on the island remains of a standing circle called claccha-brath, the "Stones of ...

... spacecraft but an electrified gas ball. The man would have acted as a lightning conductor: the electrical stimulus may well have affected that part of the brain dealing with the imagination. He went on to suggest that the vision of Fatima might have been a similar occurrence. What I am getting at is this: In the years following the Deluge, Sodom and Gomorrah, Exodus, the events of Joshua's time, and those of Isaiah's time, the Earth would have been under enormous stresses and the resulting gas balls might have been far more frequent. People being struck [in a similar manner to the forest worker cited above] by these discharges might explain many Biblical stories, ...
279. The 108-year Cyclicism of the Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Aeon]
... amount of knowledge of ancient Near Eastern history became imprinted in my mind. In addition, I had achieved a degree in geography from a major university, and that geographical viewpoint influenced every observation, every question, every conclusion. Additional works on catastrophism also read previous to Velikovsky's were Alfred Rehwinkel's The Flood(2 ) and Byron Nelson's The Deluge Story in Stone(3 ). Having read the works of Nelson and Rehwinkel, both of whom dealt extensively with the fossil record in North America, it became clear that catastrophism, not uniformitarianism, was the key to candid interpretation of the massive fossil record. But how were these watery, oceanic upheavals caused? Neither Nelson nor ...
