... From: In the Beginning: God by H. S. Bellamy CD Home | Contents In the Beginning: God XV The Mount of Salvation All deluge myths of the world which do not tell that the flood hero and his party, and some of their chattels, were saved in a vessel of some sort, relate that a group of men, and usually a few of their animals, found salvation on a mountain peak which did not become submerged. Generally they are represented as having found refuge in a cave from the terrors of the cataclysm. The Book of Genesis also contains a myth of that type, but it is not told in connection with the great ...
22. The Great Flood -- the Myth in Genesis [Books]
... (28) And .. . the waters were dried up from of the earth .. . Genesis vi. i i is devoid of any teleological meaning. It is rather to be regarded as a statement of fact, but it has been perverted, probably by the redactor. Not because of' corruption and violence' did the deluge come over the Earth: but because of the time of extreme hardship which culminated in the breakdown of the satellite and the consequent flood men had turned against one another, fighting for food, and for refuges which promised safety. Many myths tell of such developments, the axe-age and sword-age', as the Edda significantly calls it ( ...
23. Tower Myths (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... the real reason for his jealousy is hidden. The Biblical tower myth becomes clear, however, if we regard the tower as what it really was: as a model of the mountain which safeguarded the ancestors, a model which, to a certain extent practically, but chiefly magically, was in its turn to save the sons from the deluge: for this was the pumshment for the wicked. The wicked' wanted to escape this punishment: hence the divine anger. And hence a certain amount of divine fear: for apparently the tower builders had other thoughts in their minds as well, and if their plans were not nipped in the bud nothing will be restrained from them ...
... : THE OBSERVER PRESS PRINT. 1892. . V3 WVfN PRBFACE. The theory advanced by Prof. I. N. Vail accounts for the formation of the earth's crust, with its associated minerals, in the fact that it was once surrounded by rings of agueous vapor, containing much of its present solid matter, which fell as mighty deluges. The last of these rings descended at the time of the Noachian deluge and caused that catastrophe, which is so graphically described by Moses, and which tradition has sung in the ears of every tribe of Adam's race. The formation of these rings was caused by the intense heat, which drove to an immense distance every substance which ...
25. Khima And Kesil [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. III No. 4 (Summer 1978) Home | Issue Contents Khima And Kesil Immanuel Velikovsky Copyright (C ) 1978 by Immanuel Velikovsky Editor's Note: The material in the following article was first conceived and written some thirty-five years ago. It is only a fractional part of a much larger work - Saturn and the Deluge - dealing with earlier catastrophes and intended as a sequel to Worlds in Collision For the time being that sequel remains unpublished. Nevertheless, the identifications of Khima and Kesil (Khesil) were already made in Worlds in Collision (p 208), and an explanation was promised at that time. Since then, others have worked independently on ...
26. Ark Myths (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 14 Ark Myths By far the greater number of deluge myths relate that the hero escaped the general destruction by taking to a vessel and sailing to safety. The universality of this trait is really striking and surely indicates a high standard of shipbuilding and navigation in prehistoric days. As we have just seen in some of the Jewish myths, the deluge warning, and the usual accompanying suggestion to build some vessel, were often given to a whole nation, but apparently only followed by very few individuals. Probably most people felt quite safe in spite of the raging of ...
... and Jung as well as of myself, actually solving the problem Freud and Jung left unsolved. Namely, he understood that much of the behavior of the human species, together with all the heritage of religious rites and much of the political structure of his own and other ages, were engendered in cataclysmic experiences of the past, in the Deluge (or deluges, of which there could have been more than one). After Boulanger's premature death, his works were published by Diderot, but his geological observations were not included in the printed volumes; extracts from these observations and reflections appear in a recent work on Boulanger,[21] and do not impress as compelling. ...
28. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Six [Books]
... some of its inspiration from low-lying storm clouds, (of the heavens bow down etc- Part 5, p.345). Section 60. Wichita mythology. On WIC p.186- 7 V refers to G.A .Dorsey's "Mythology of the Wichita" (1904), in particular to the tale of "The Deluge and the Repeopling of the Earth". The story is obscure, and in parts almost incoherent (as indeed V notes on WIC p.187), but the gist of it is as follows. Once upon a time the wife of a tribal chief gave birth to four monsters whose form was "like that of a horse ...
29. IN THE BEGINNING [Books]
... According to the Sumerians a rigorous selection among those thirsting for knowledge was practised. The knowing one shall tell the knowing one, but the unknowing one shall not be told. ' Note 2 - Frazer was of opinion that all traditions which preserve reminiscences of floods which really happened . . . are legendary; so far as they describe universal deluges which never happened, they are mythical'. Compare with this opinion what constitutes a myth' my definitions, or re-definitions, in the introductory sections of my books, Moons, Myths, and Man, and The Book of Revelation is History. Note 3 - Compare my tentative remarks about a race or species memory, in Moons ...
30. The Creation of Man (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... to account for the presence of the organic life which fills the Earth. For there was no recording brain when plants first sprouted, when animals first appeared, and when man slowly rose to the verge of conscious humanity. Most myths get round this difficulty by not beginning at the beginning. Among these practically all of the vast number of deluge myths must be reckoned. All that lives and moves and has being is destroyed by a great cataclysm- only the deluge hero and his companions are saved, and with them the animals (sometimes also seeds or even plants) they have providentially taken with them into their vessel or on to their mountain refuge. The pick of the old ...
