... The Shadow Clock"), and Marx adds the point that the Libyan period, a time of weakness and disorder, suits the "unsafe century" of the Mars catastrophes. [* NB - Velikovsky's tentative suggestion that the "flood [i .e . river] of Egypt" of Amos 8:8 may refer to the deluge of Osorkon's time is based on a misunderstanding of the word "flood": see M. Sieff: "The Cosmology of Job", SISR I:4 , note 44 on p.32.] Now, Velikovsky has not yet offered tentative dates for any of the rulers of the Libyan period, except for Shoshenk I ...
282. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... Patten and his collaborators have gone a few steps further. As far as they are concerned, all of the catastrophes narrated in the Old Testament were caused by the close fly-bys of the planet Mars. In chronological order, these catastrophes, as per Patten, et al., were originally presented as having been the following: the Noachian deluge (circa 2500 B.C .) ; the Tower of Babel catastrophe (1930 B.C .) ; the Sodom and Gomorrah catastrophe (1877 B.C .) ; the Exodus catastrophe (1447 B.C .) ; the long day of Joshua (1404 B.C .) ; the "greater" ...
283. Thoth Vol II, No. 20: Dec 31, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... came at the Seattle workshop when Wal Thornhill juxtaposed slides of the polar configuration and comet Shoemaker-Levi-9, illustrating that the polar configuration is not astronomically impossible. A third was when Dave Talbott shifted my vision of the flood myths in a post to the K-list: "[ I ]n all likelihood, the outpouring of cometary material associated with the deluge' involved a descent of a horrendous cloud of ice on the Earth, helping to prompt the mythical interpretation. But the mythical figure who rides out the storm of the deluge is, beyond question, a celestial player in the original story." Today I can't even walk along the beach on a sunny day without noticing that the ...
284. The Chaldeans of Sumer [Journals] [Aeon]
... Biblical culture is but a pale echo of it, the brilliant Solomonic Israelite culture at the climax of Middle Bronze II seems to have come before the flowering of Sumer-Chaldea and may well have had a seminal impact upon it. Samuel Noah Kramer has pointed out that the events in the initial chapters of Genesis-the fall, Cain and Abel, the Deluge, and the Babel of tongues-all had Mesopotamian antecedents; except that, instead of antecedents, one should now read "successors." In literary terms, it is certainly easier to grasp that the simple, austere Genesis accounts should serve as a prototype for more elaborate cultural variations, rather than the other way around. Even within the ...
285. Spectres [Books] [de Grazia books]
... and land are seen to rise, and at other times watched as they sink, this must be an illusion and an exaggeration. No one could have seen a wall of towering water. That there should have fallen sheets of flame and weird colored waters or dense substances, including even life forms, that ice and hail should fall in deluges and wind should sweep away forests: these again were delusions. Seeing the landscape dissolve in an earthquake, while even the air is rendered into visible shock waves, and seeing the Earth explode and pour out boiling magma from cracks and cones: again illusions. Telling of the destruction of almost all that was living: people must have ...

288. On Models and Scenarios [Journals] [Aeon]
... Saturn on the world mountain, etc. This original thesis of the polar configuration included several additional ideas- including that of the catastrophic transformation of the configuration into the "world tree" of seven bands, and the idea that many myths which had long been understood in terrestrial terms- such as, most importantly, the creation and the deluge- originally described events in the sky. In its original form the creation myth did not tell how our Earth, its landscape and inhabitants came into being, but rather recorded the spectacular formation of the primeval land of the gods- a crescent-enclosure housing the ancient sun god and the denizens of his celestial city. And the deluge was ...

290. Ninurta [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... vegetarians and cannibals. One way or another, the association of Saturn with agriculture, like Ninurta, is strong. The concept of Ninurta "holding the bond of heaven and earth" sounds rather Saturnian. Ninurta, like Saturn, is associated with floods - as are Saturn deities. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Ninurta contributes to the Deluge, and plays a distinct role from Nergal. Admittedly, this might be poetic license, like the battle of the gods in the Iliad. From: Dave Talbott <dtalbott@teleport.com> Date: Tue, 25 Mar 1997 08:44:14 + 0000 I do not believe that general associations with flood, upheaval ...
