... reflects ancient knowledge similar to that at which we arrived after a long series of deductions and conclusions. Seneca wrote: "Berosus, the translator of Bel, attributed to the planets the cause of these perturbations." And he added: "His certainty in this matter was so great as to fix the dates of the universal conflagration and deluge. Everything terrestrial, he says, will be burned, when the stars which now follow different orbits will reunite in the sign of Cancer, and will place themselves in one line, so that a straight line would pass through the centres of all these globes. The deluge will come when the same planets will have conjunction in Capricorn ...
42. On Saturn And The Flood [Journals] [Kronos]
... because the time of Saturn- the Golden Age of Saturn, or Kronos- came to its end when the supreme god of that period, the planet Saturn, was broken up. I have already discussed the statement, contained in the Tractate Brakhot of the Babylonian Talmud, which points to the celestial body Khima as the source of the Deluge; and I have shown why Khima is to be identified with Saturn.(4 ) [Hindu sources also provide information which links the planet Saturn with the Deluge. This catastrophe is said to have taken place during the Satya yuga, in the reign of Satyavrata, who is usually identified as Saturn. Actually, it becomes apparent ...
43. The Myth of the Tower [Books]
... . What is meant, of course, is that in the world' known to the tribe of post-diluvians of which this myth tells, so and so many thousands; or ten thousands of square miles in extent, only one language, their own, was spoken. These post-diluvians were apparently already several generations removed- from the ancestral - deluge heroes. Though none of those may have still been alive among them the report of the great cataclysm was very well known to them it was, in fact, the basis of the sacred lore of their tribe. They naturally kept speculating and wondering whether the flood might come again, and how its possible return might be staved off ...
44. The Mystery Of The Pleiades [Journals] [Kronos]
... , ties the "shadow of death" to Khima while the "waters of the sea" are referrable to Khesil. Here, then, according to Sieff, is proof that Khima was Venus and Khesil was Saturn for it was Venus that was responsible for the "shadow of death"(51) while Saturn was responsible for the Deluge. Once again, this does not accord well with Sieff's belief in the antiquity of Job for the "shadow of death" manifested itself precisely during the Exodus. Also, the Saturnian Deluge was not the only flood that beset the Earth. During Venus' hellish reign, the Earth was inundated more than once and it was inundated ...
45. Artificially Structured Biblical Chronologies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is because knowledge is power' and when that knowledge is socially important, but is restricted to a few, then the power grows in like proportion. Those record keepers recognised their power and were jealous of it. They had access to the knowledge of at least three of four fixed points in their past, such as when the Great Deluge' occurred. From those fixed points, there had been kept a continuous count of various cycles which had been recorded by means of the specialised symbols that were part of their secret tradition. As each chronological list was compiled, various reign lengths were changed slightly, resulting in a pattern of symbol values that could fix the list to ...
46. The Rise and Fall of Man (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... , vestigial organs, and atavisms, the ballast of bygone ages when these things were still in active use. The cosmological myths of the world have a unity in diversity which inevitably brings us to the idea that man was fully man in the Tertiary Aeon at least. Any unqualified rejection of this postulate would certainly be rash. The great deluge myths and tales of the times of stress when the Earth was created' describe man's triumph over the unchained cosmic powers. Every triumph over difficulties is less a triumph of the body, than a triumph of the mind. And this is where we must introduce a new element into the evolution of man: the influence of the satellitic ...

... the name of the Evening Star, that is of Venus."(3 ) Gaposchkin led the reader to believe that it was I who placed Phaėthon among the planets (inter sidera). Fifth- and last- case. Payne-Gaposchkin stated: "Although Mr. Velikovsky cites the results of excavations at Ur in support of his contention that the deluge was universal, the findings of the archaeologists do not bear him out." And she quoted from Sir Leonard Woolley, Ur of the Chaldees: The annalists .. . made mention of it as an event which interrupted the course of history .. . but... so far from the disaster being universal some at least ...
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 17 Myths of the Creation of the Earth Inall deluge myths, whether of the eastern or the western hemispheres, whether told by peoples living near the poles or by tribes settling in the tropics, one fact always stands out: the Great Flood appears as the conclusion of a universal catastrophe, as the finale of a great cosmic drama. But, though it definitely closes a period, it does not cause the final end of things. After the destruction comes a new creation. It is a remarkable fact that the mythologist, though he knows an immense number ...
