... , Indra, directed downward, speeding to the ocean." (161) "The streams unceasing flow to Indra." (162) Should there be any truth to our hypothesis it follows that the reputation of Indra as storm-god will also trace, at least in part, to the association of the tempestuous red planet with the spectacular deluge associated with the release of Saturn's fiery waters. The key to the imagery is the fact that the waters first became released during the cataclysmic circumstances associated with the expulsion of Mars. "Before the High God, at his birth, heaven trembled, earth, many floods and all the precipices. The Strong One bringeth nigh the Bull's ...

... enter the village and open the medicine lodge, the main building in which the ceremony was going to take place. The lodge, 75 feet in diameter, was considered a sacred building, built and used solely for the four-day festival and closed during the rest of the year. The interior of the lodge symbolised the last phases of the deluge and was accordingly called Mee-he-ro-ka-ha-sha, the waters settle down'. As the sun reached the horizon, a simultaneous shout was raised, and in few minutes all voices were united in yells and mournful cries (. .. ): all were in motion and apparent alarm, preparing their weapons and securing their horses, as if an ...
343. Natural Catastrophes During Bronze Age Civilisations [Journals] [Aeon]
... . In these myths, he went on, there is generally a physical description of supernatural causes: a snake-like creature with horns appears before the flood; Hindu mythology describes a fish with a single large horn. Other myths note the aspect of the Moon and seasonal indicators. Having studied various myths, Masse came to the conclusion that the Deluge commenced on or about May 28, 2807 BC when the Sun was darkened for several days, hurricane-force winds swept the Earth, strong earthquakes shook the continents, encompassing fires swept the ground, while a hot torrential rainfall inundated the land. Tsunamis rose to 200 meters above sea level. Masse is of the opinion that such a devastation ...

345. Planet in Crisis: the Earth's Last 12,000 Years [Journals] [SIS Review]
... as profound as these would almost certainly have to involve some influential outside agency. In other words Earth would need to be subjected to some powerful extraterrestrial force - a force severe enough to rupture its previous internal mechanism without actually destroying it. Down the centuries precisely such a source has been repeatedly advocated to account for traditionally catastrophic events like Noah's Deluge, the loss of a primaeval Golden Age, the advent and also the demise of the Ice Age, the sudden refrigeration of the Siberian/Alaskan mammoth fauna and even the foundering of legendary realms such as Atlantis, Lyonesse, etc. [126-135]. Variously identified as a great comet, an asteroid, an itinerant star, ...

IX:2 :6-9 & ibid ., 15-16, 20, besides AEON I:4 :95-97 for additional details and further information). - Our additional input serves to strengthen the older identification just as the older identification serves to strengthen the controversial Saturnian scenario that both Cochrane and I adhere to. Extinctions, Inversions, and the Deluge SPEAKER: Samuel Windsor I was delighted with Mr. T. William Field's article, "Evidence of an Inversion Event" in Vol. II, No. 1 of AEON. However, I'd like to challenge some assumptions he makes or implies. The first is that he appears to accept the uniformitarian position that large animal extinctions occurred ...
... , at once would offer every incitement to the tomb robber. The pyramids, and the Great Pyramid in particular, were built as places of refuge when the day of destruction from the heavens occurred, and were designed as places of protection if there were earthquakes, shattering ordinary dwellings, fiery rocks flung down from the skies, or a deluge of water. The Great Pyramid for example, was built, like the others, of an almost solid core of rock, so carefully welded together that it offered a strong resistance to any outside manifestations. Its structure was so immense, and was yet clamped in its foundations to the on rock so as to give it the maximum ...
348. Beyond Bauer [Journals] [Aeon]
... While we might argue the validity of each of these points at great length (indeed I would challenge Bauer to select any of the above points as a subject for future debate), a few brief comments must suffice. Proceeding point by point: (1 ) Is it not perchance possible that some Biblical records such as that of the Deluge, closely paralleled by accounts from the New World (here I would remind the reader that the parallels extend to such apparently trivial motives as the flood-hero's release of birds prior to the reappearance of land), contain some memory of actual physical events, however we may choose to interpret them? (2 ) Is it not possible that ...

To quote his own words: "The Kurdish tribes who dwell on the slopes at the base of Aghri Dagh [their name for Mount Ararat], and whose forefathers have been there since the earliest dawn of history . . . are familiar with the story of the Deluge. Their account of that great event varies but slightly from that which has been transmitted to us by Moses, and they hold it as part of their faith that Noah's Ark rested on Aghri Dagh, that the hull still remains on the summit, deeply buried out of sight..."(23) 7.
