... late arrival in man's skies, our lunar satellite had already been captured during the time when Saturn shone as a sun of night. Actually, although in this the present author may differ from Velikovsky, as well as from other writers working on the same subject, the shining of Saturn as a sun of night was anterior to the Noachian Deluge which was caused by the flare-up of the Saturnian sun. Meanwhile, ancient traditions, as Velikovsky has already indicated, seem to imply that the Moon was deluged together with the Earth - so that the Moon must have already been close to the Earth during that occurrence. Also, ancient traditions from various parts of the world seem to ...
352. Andrew Collins: The Truth of the Past - Finding Historical Reality in the Alternative Field of Research [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... of this early epoch of mankind thousands of years before the advent of their own age? One Coptic Egyptian legend speaks of a mythical king named Surid who learnt of an imminent disaster that was to befall Egypt. In order to find out more, he instructed his priests to consult the altitude of the stars. They informed him that a deluge would `overwhelm the land, and destroy a large portion of it for some years'. According to the Arab historian named Ahmad al-Makrizi (1360-1442), who quotes a variation of this story, in addition to a flood, a `fire was to proceed from the sign (of) Leo, and to consume the world ...
353. Variations on a Theme of Philolaos [Journals] [Kronos]
... be dissolved, leaving the system of Philolaos in its original and entirely tenable condition. * * * Velikovsky has suggested that, many thousands of years ago but still within human memory, Earth might have been a satellite of Saturn. This would have been before the near-collisions between Saturn and Jupiter, before the explosion of Saturn, before the Deluge, and before the birth of Venus from Jupiter (and long before Philolaos). We would be speaking of a mostly peaceful period, known as the Age of Kronos (Saturn). Velikovsky has also found abundant evidence that Saturn was once a "Sun". I agree with Greenberg and Sizemore and with Cardona that Saturn was ...
354. Catastrophism and the Mammoths - I (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... little importance. In other words, conduction would be limited by a certain saturation current rather than by a certain conductivity. This may be correct, but it is hard to say how large the saturation current would be, as we do not know very much about the composition of gas or plasma in interplanetary space during the millennia following the Deluge. Even if there were no external carriers at all, however, the strong voltage gradient postulated by Crew is able to produce all the carriers required for quickly transporting the major part of the charge out into space. To carry away the whole electric charge requires 3.27 x 1033 univalent positive ions. If these ions consist of ...
355. ABC's of Astrophysics [Books] [de Grazia books]
... binary or double star to illustrate the presence of electromagnetic effects between stars. He had also brought forward late studies demonstrating a correlation between the positions of the planets and electrical effect detected upon Earth. He had argued in Pensée and in conversations that Saturn must have gone nova to eject immense waters some of which flooded the Earth during the Noachian Deluge. Then X-ray emissions were discovered to emanate from Saturn, a possible sign of recent nova. On 4 November 1976, Milton was asking Deg's advice about mentioning this in a Foreword to Recollections of a Fallen Sky. "Ransom suggests that I not draw attention to this claim until Sagan et al. make some claims about Saturn's heat ...
356. Ocean Basins [Books] [de Grazia books]
... not submerged beneath the oceans until the ocean basins stopped growing and their waters crept up upon the continental blocks and shelves. The seas do not come in and kidnap the land; they beat back the detritus and even build land. Thus the great slopes could not have formed under uniformitarian conditions or even underwater. Prolonged, universal run-off of deluge and catastrophic tidal water produced slopes; the blocks were often towering water falls, dropping sheets of slurry into the abyss to form the slopes. The coarse gravel typical of the slopes far out to sea signals the impetuous rush and transporting power of the waters going to fill the basins. The scale would have dwarfed even the scene pictured ...

Mankind had been warned of these developments by a divine messenger: (x . 2) A deluge will presently come upon the whole earth, and all that is on it will be destroyed. (i . 6) .. .

358. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... climate. Instead, palaeontologist J. Alan Holman of Michigan State University believes that the weather was generally mild with frost-free winters and coolish summers. Our correspondent notes that some 30 years ago Velikovsky questioned whether there had been Ice Ages, or at least of the type that was (and still is) commonly accepted. Are times changing? Deluge Ice Ages?source: Scientific American September 86, pp.89-94 We report very briefly on a theory of Paresce and Bowyer: briefly because it is very tenuous (like their gas cloud), but we report it because in overall effect it is rather similar to what Velikovsky proposed for Ice Ages causation in his Earth in Upheaval ...
... of the Canary group, in 1730 produced various phenomena. Numerous vents opened upon a direct line from north to south, continuing with a new pyramidal rock which rose above the water level. These miniature volcanoes continued in active eruption for the space of three years on the authority of Von Buch, a great part of the island's surface was deluged by lava currents of a basaltic character, and the remainder was buried under showers of scorix and ashes. 57. The Icelandic mountains yield evidence of having been in the past the focus of vast volcanic forces unsurpassed in any corresponding region of the world, and they still retain their awful potentialities. The most interesting record of modern eruptions ...
360. Ladder to Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... clothing superfluous. Men and animals talked together: a common language united them in bonds of brotherhood. But a terrible catastrophe put an end to those golden days. A great flood destroyed all flesh wherein was the breath of life." [56] Recognizable in the Papagoan account are the archetypal mythological motifs of the Golden Age, the Deluge, and apocalyptic cataclysm. Also prominent is the widespread belief that, in primeval times, the Sun stood nearer to Earth than at present. Like countless other aboriginal cultures, the Maya harkened back to a time when communication between heaven and Earth was rendered easy by a "rope" suspended in the sky. Thus, a Yucatecan ...
