... surveying the devastated world when he happened upon the corpse of a woman who had perished in the waters. He opened her side and removed one of her ribs. Then he practised magic and the bone became a baby girl. When the child had grown up the Frog took her to wife, and they had many children. The Chimarico deluge hero evidently appears in batrachian guise because of the fact of his having escaped the water catastrophe which had killed all other human beings in his world': a frog' can live both on the land and in the wet clement. The short' of the passage about the operation performed upon the woman is that a female child was ...
62. The Climatic Breakdown (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... The mountains though `high were covered with thick forests of tall trees up to their tops' (111 c). This catastrophic change in fertility was not due, or not entirely due, either to the fact that `the country which was formerly well covered with soil was washed bare, in one single night, by a terrible deluge' (112a) and was now little more than `a mere rocky skeleton' (111b), or that the onrushing waters had buried the rich plains under great deposits of shingle (111c). Nor was it due to the fact that the earthquakes and various tectonic tiltings caused in the lithosphere by the capture deformations, and ...

Desolation .. . stretched to heaven; all that was bright was turned into darkness... For could a brother distinguish his brother .. .

64. In the Beginning -- A Review [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . In the Beginning deals with events that preceded those narrated in Worlds in Collision, and, if the hue and cry against that first book is any indication of how the intelligentsia respond to revolutionary concepts, one may possibly fathom how much greater will be the outcry against this book, which is based on the supposition that the great Noachian deluge was a reality. It was thus, according to Velikovsky in his Introduction, "preferable to start from the better known [catastrophe] and then proceed to the less known." What Velikovsky meant, of course, was to begin with the better documented catastrophes, especially Venus and Mars, and then to those that came earlier ...
65. The Feast Of Light. Ch.3 In Fear And Trembling (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... and religion, Gardiner, the leading scholar in these fields, confessed that he remained unaware of whom Osiris represents or memorializes. Osiris in my understanding was not a king but the planet Saturn, Cronos of the Greeks, Tammuz of the Babylonians. The age of Cronos was the Golden Age; it came to its end in the universal Deluge. The seventeenth day of Tammuz (June-July) was the first day of lamentations that continued for weeks. The seventeenth day of the month also plays a conspicuous role in the story of the Deluge. The "light of seven days" of which Isaiah speaks (Isaiah 30:26) refers, in my understanding, to the ...
... collect what is dispersed, to examine controverted points, to settle what is doubtful, and by the authority of monuments and histories to throw light upon the manners, art, Ianguage, policy and religion of past ages." BORLASE in Antiquities of Cornwall. THERE is an extraordinary account of the Flood, preserved by the Hellenes as the Deluge of Deucalion, in the first book of the history of Diodorus Siculus, that prolific and learned historian contemporaneous with Julius Caesar and Augustus. He not only entirely removes the arena of that catastrophe from the present Greece, but brings into it the Egyptians and Ethiopians, and places the scene by the Atlantic Ocean. The particular passage is ...
67. Ocean Sediments, Circumpolar Muck, Erratics, Buried Forests, and Loess as Evidence of Global Floods [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , Buried Forests, and Loess as Evidence of Global Floods Charles Ginenthal In a prior paper, evidence of whales and other marine life lying on the surface or in near surface deposits was presented as evidence of immense global floods in recent times.1 If indeed, as Velikovsky claimed, there were great recent global floods,2 then such deluges should have left immense sediments and unique forms of sediment in their wake. Furthermore, the distribution and the amount of this detritus should also have been deposited in regions that fully corroborate Velikovsky's theory. As I previously pointed out: "If the Earth's axis tilted or the crust suddenly, violently, moved over the mantle, then the ...
68. The Primordial Light? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... disruption. 6. Comets originate from the great collision (21). 7. But the Venus-comet was born of Jupiter, so did Jupiter acquire some of the mass of the disrupted Saturn, thus itself becoming unstable? (22) 8. Some more of the débris from Saturn approached the Earth and was the cause of the great Deluge, whose waters were salty. Permit us then to extrapolate from this basic scheme in the light of our own research, and present our own reconstruction of the history of the Solar System. Will the evidence of mythology, geology and the physical sciences bear out the reconstruction sketched out above? Or will we have to modify this outline ...

... They are generally highly compact bodies (e .g . irons') which were formed some 500M years ago, when the Solar System was substantially clear of gas and dust, and so of orbital friction that had affected the planetesimals. V.Axel Firsoff Glastonbury, Somerset, U.K . Your Mars pictures (" The Martian Deluge", CG 1(2 ), p.51-52) lacked scale- a minor sin you called others down for. As for the use of "flood" over "deluge" in reporting interpretations of Martian surface features, I think that there is a distinction that should be observed. The two terms may not be interchangeable ...

... , represented by two serpents, one of which had five heads, and the other ten, representing the ten Moons or the period of gestation. According to Philo, "the number 10 is the perfect number by which Noah the Just existed." Time reckoned; by the number 10 is described as in the Ark, during the deluge of nine months or the ten lunar ones. The Ark was the receptacle of the seed of all life, and Noah as the Just man really signified the truer Time-keeper. Ten is the type of the lunar phase, just as 9 is the solar, and is mystically "the Begetter of souls." The Holy of Holies ...
