... , then Velikovsky's mythological material would be highly corroborative, possibly even conclusive evidence. As Grant correctly points out, to do this with historical geology demands for a start that synchronisms be drawn up between the conventional chronology and Velikovsky's. I think that Grant is probably right in his conjecture that Velikovsky might synchronise the Cenomanian Marine Transgression with the Biblical Deluge. As Grant says, there is a "staggering conflict". But just how staggering is this conflict? Velikovsky has stated that he is not in a position to name the century or even the millennium of the Great Flood. However, he believes that some time between five and ten thousand years ago, probably closer to the ...
392. Minds in Chaos [Books] [de Grazia books]
... streams of lava welled out; the sea boiled and evaporated;... mountain ranges collapsed, while others were thrown up; continents were raised causing great floods; showers of hot stones fell; electrical disturbances of great violence caused much havoc; hurricanes swept the earth; a pall of darkness shrouded it, to be followed by a deluge of fire. This picture of a period of intense turmoil within the period of recorded history is supported by a wealth of quotations from the Old Testament, from the Hindu Vedas, from Roman and Greek mythology, and from the myths, traditions and folklore of many races and peoples... These catastrophic events in the earth's history ...
393. Part II: The Comet [Ragnarok] [Books]
... neither water nor ice caused the Drift. Water and ice were doubtless associated with it, but neither produced it. What, now, are the elements of the problem to be solved? First, we are to find something that instantaneously increased to a vast extent the heat of our planet, vaporized the seas, and furnished material for deluges of rain, and great storms of snow, and accumulations of ice north and south of the equator and in the high mountains. Secondly, we are to find something that, coming from above, smashed, pounded, and crushed " as with a maul," and rooted up as with a plough, the gigantic rocks of ...
394. Earthquakes in the Early Irish Tradition [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... familiar to modern students of Irish history: these include the Lebor Gabala - (or Book of Invasions), the Annals of the Four Masters, the Chronicon Scotorum, and the Book of Lecan. All of these works agree on a number of basic points. They trace the first settlement of the island to a period before the universal deluge. The leader of this settlement is popularly named Ceasair, and it is quite clear that this tradition represents a medieval concoction based on Hebrew and Classical material. Other traditions, however, derive much more of their inspiration from native sources. Here we may mention the successive invasions of Nemedians, Fir-Bolg, and Tuatha De Danaan. However ...
395. The Archangels [Journals] [Kronos]
... issued from Jupiter or its "devilish daughter"(3 )- Athene/Venus. Martin Sieff seems to have had no doubts that the destruction was caused by Venus.(4 ) Brendan O'Gheoghan has also favored Venus,(4a) while Patten, et al. have blamed every Biblical catastrophe - with the exception of the Noachian Deluge- on the recurrent fly-bys of Mars.(5 ) Obviously, the above hypotheses cannot all be correct. It behooves us, therefore, to examine them all in detail before a choice between them can be made. 2. Gabriel I have elsewhere shown that Patten et al. 's hypothesis, which singles out Mars as ...
396. The Reflective Canopy Model and the Mytho-historical Record [Journals] [Aeon]
... aspects of the model which constitute its major components and which, together, serve to illustrate its central the-matic structure. 2. The Model and its Precursors Harking back to an idea that owes its inception to William Whiston, Zysman looks upon comets as having been responsible for terrestrial catastrophism. In 1696 it had been Whiston's belief that the Noachian deluge was caused by a previous close passage of the comet of 1680. (1 ) More recently, cometary catastrophism has once again been brought to the fore by Victor Clube and Bill Napier. (2 ) In between, there lived Ignatius Donnelly and Immanuel Velikovsky, both of whom attributed terrestrial catastrophism to the close passage of cometary bodies ...
397. Thoth Vol IV, No 4: Feb 29, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... first glimmerings of civilization, every ancient nation kept alive its own tale of universal catastrophe, and if anything deserves to be called a collective memory it is this idea. But how are we to understand it? Various accounts describe the world- ending disaster so differently as to leave mythologists groping for a consensus. In one account a great deluge submerges the race; in another a fiery conflagration, while many myths say a celestial dragon's assault upon the world brought universal darkness. Such divergent story elements make it all too easy to overlook an overarching principle revealed by comparative analysis. The "mother of all catastrophes" --the event which ancient races feared above all else- was that which ...
398. The Origin of Velikovsky's Comet [Journals] [Kronos]
... that Velikovsky believed the Earth and Saturn to have once moved in close proximity, with the Earth perhaps revolving as a Saturnian moon. In a very early epoch, mythically recalled as the Golden Age, Saturn visually dominated the sky. This era, Velikovsky believed, ended in Saturn's mythical "death" and an overwhelming cataclysm - the great Deluge. The mystery of Saturn's past, as posed by Velikovsky's intriguing references, inspired the several years of research behind one of the writers' recently-published book, The Saturn Myth.(2 ) The book proposes that Saturn - fixed at the celestial pole - loomed massively overhead, a central sun venerated by all mankind. Evidence is presented ...

400. Facing Many Problems, Part 2 Epilogue (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... giving this enumeration of the claims made and problems dealt with in this book, we are aware that more problems have arisen than have been solved. The question before historical cosmogony is this: If it is true that cosmic catastrophes occurred such a short time ago, how about the more remote past? What can we find out concerning the Deluge, at present thought to have been a local flooding of the Euphrates that impressed the Bedouins coming from the desert? In general, what can be brought to light concerning the world's more distant past and earlier celestial battles? As explained in the Preface, the story of the catastrophes as they can be reconstructed from the records of man ...
