... (c ) 1978, 1979 I. VELIKOVSKY When identifying the biblical "Khima" as Saturn and "Kesil" as Mars, Dr Velikovsky promised support,for this interpretation in a later work. The paper below outlines the grounds on which these identifications were made. In the Tractate Brakhot of the Babylonian Talmud it is said that the Deluge was caused by two stars that fell from Khima toward the Earth. The statement reads: "When the Holy One decided to bring the Deluge on the Earth He took two stars from Khima and [hurling them against the Earth] brought the Deluge on the Earth." [1 ] The sentence is said in the name of ...
32. Tiahuanaco and the Delug [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History VI:2 (July 1984) Home | Issue Contents THEORY WORKSHOP Tiahuanaco and the Deluge Helmut Settl Cradled in the basin of the Peruvian-Bolivian altiplano, the Titicaca region is currently densely populated by the Aymara Indians, who eke out an agricultural existence, subsisting primarily on maize, frozen potatoes, and chicha, a fermented alcoholic beverage made of cornmeal. But there is evidence that such was not always the case. Just 12 miles southward of the southernmost tip of Lake Titicaca lie the remains of Tiahuanaco, the site of a technologically advanced culture considered by many archaeologists (romantic- not orthodox) to be the oldest ruins in the world. ...
33. Saturn's Children [Books] [de Grazia books]
... appeared, written by David Talbott, by Dwardu Cardona, and jointly by Harold Tresman and B. O'Gheoghan. A few months later, Velikovsky, who had inspired the studies in each case, without participating in them released a fragment of his manuscripts on Saturn [1 ]. "Two stars erupted from the planet Saturn and caused the Deluge." So states the Talmud, in Velikovsky's translation [2 ]. This is one of the several principal conclusions reached by the other writers. Saturn was a second sun, shining by day and night upon Earth. The record of the star is preserved in the legends of every ancient people. It was the dominating star of ...
34. Water [Books] [de Grazia books]
... " contract. There seems to be too much of it to have been squeezed from below. Its excessive salinity in the oceans has already been discussed. Its "misbehavior" is subject of countless legends and its symbols are engraved in religious doctrine and ritual. It has apparently been highly energized in the past in the form of tides, deluges, and ice. That the exoterrestrial connections of Earth's water are multiform should then be ordinary knowledge in the earth sciences. In fact, the scientific literature hardly touches upon it. CHAPTER TWELVE Water With both waters and elaborate forms of life, Earth is unlike other planets. The belief that this situation has persisted for billions of years ...
35. Evidence of Careenings of the Globe [Books]
... From: Cataclysms of the Earth by Hugh Auchincloss Brown Last | Next CD Rom Home PART ONE Evidence of Careenings of the Globe HISTORICAL WRITINGS From early Jewish history, as recorded in the Bible, comes down to us a tale of a great deluge, a tale familiar to most civilized peoples.1 All mountains were covered by water. Noah and his family, together with two of every species of bird, beast, and reptile , were saved in an Ark which landed on Mt. Ararat in Asia Minor. The highest elevation of this mountain is 17,100 feet above sea level. The physical cause of the Great Flood is confirmed by the biblical story, ...
36. A Reading of the Pyramid Texts [Journals] [Pensee]
... order that control of the river's flow in one part not disturb it in another. This leads to the creation of an empire and the need for a human symbol by which its unity can be expressed, a single ruler. Here catastrophism gives an old cliche new force. Mythologies the world over imply that in the golden age before the deluge agriculture did not exist or was not widely used. Tales of abundant food and eternal spring suggest that in antediluvian times the incline of the earth's axis was much smaller and thus seasonal change more negligible; only after the seasons brought periods of hunger was it necessary to sow and reap. The specific mythology of Egypt implies that its empire ...
... Cape antelope, afford another illustration of the rapidity with which a species under certain circumstances may be diffused over a continent. When the stagnant pools of the immense deserts south of the Orange River dry up, which often happens after intervals of three or four years, myriads of these animals desert the parched soil, and pour down like a deluge on the cultivated regions near the Cape. The havoc committed by them resembles that of the African locusts; and so crowded are the herds, that "the lion has been seen to walk" in the midst of the compressed phalanx with only as much room between him and his victims as the fears of those immediately around could procure ...
38. THE ROAD TO SATURN (EXCERPTS FROM AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY) [Journals] [Aeon]
... . After reading Velikovsky I should not have been surprised at the sheer amount of mythological tales which hinted at, referred to, and sometimes explicitly described catastrophic events. These appeared of such magnitude that, were they to be believed, they could only be explained by the shaking of the Earth's framework. Predominant among these disasters was the universal deluge, which the Biblical account associates with Noah. Moreover, the cosmic thread that ran through the ages was intertwined with these disasters so that it did not take long to realize that Velikovsky had been right when he insisted that catastrophism was literally heaven-caused. What became more and more obvious was that the celestial order with which ancient man was ...
39. Man: The Past, The Present, and the Future [Books]
... that these land areas and continents are rather new, and that it is only in fairly recent times that they have become established in the locations that we know today. The equivalent of our present world population of over two billions of people could be created in a little over 600 years if one male and one female survived after a world deluge and had six children, and each pair of children had six children during nineteen generations. The nineteenth generation alone would number ever two billion. There are three places, possibly four, on the earth's surface which were not submerged in water during the last Great Deluge. They are areas which, during Epoch No. 1 BP, ...
40. Confusion Breeds on Assumptions [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS C & C Review 2004:1 Incorporating Workshop 2004:2 (May 2004) Home | Issue Contents Confusion Breeds on Assumptions G. P. Williams The author proposes that there were two distinct major catastrophes – the Deluge, which ended the Paradisical Age, and the Flood, which ended the Golden Age and ushered in the Modern Age. He uses geological and mythical evidence to show that the first catastrophe was due to the destruction of a world mountain and the second was due to an axial tilt. My investigation into ancient records and mythology was prompted by my interest in the land-forms of the world and from the geomorphological information conveyed in their shapes. ...
