... biblical myth contains an unmistakable reference to the capture of Luna, and although that part of Plato's myth which has come down to us is not quite so definite on this matter we can tell that the ancients knew of the great cosmic event by such references as the one to the dis-orbiting of the `planet Venus' which caused the Ogygian Deluge, to mention only one of the consequences. Among other `western' myths which attributed the cataclysm to changes in the heavens there is that one of the Jews which tells how `the deluge was caused by the Lord displacing two stars in a certain constellation. 87 As changes among the fixed stars must be ruled out, and ...

... 1 ) The Greeks had similar traditions. "There is a period," wrote Censorinus, "called the supreme year' by Aristotle, at the end of which the sun, moon, and all the planets return to their original position. This supreme year' has a great winter, called by the Greeks kataklysmos, which means deluge, and a great summer, called by the Greeks ekpyrosis, or combustion of the world. The world, actually, seems to be inundated and burned alternately in each of these epochs." Anaximenes and Anaximander in the sixth pre-Christian century, And Diogenes of Apollonia in the fifth century, assumed the destruction of the world with subsequent ...

... consisting of the gases of the magnetic tube. New atmosphere flowed in readily to replace all that was drawn off or destroyed with the crustal material. Moon's atmosphere was barely allowed to form and was almost entirely lost in later destructive encounters. New waters poured off the continents and from the skies into the new basins. Possibly a last great deluge of water came from Uranus Minor as it passed; in 1977, five rings were discovered around the planet Uranus. Like the rings of Saturn they may contain ice. By feeding the fissures and volcanoes, the waters sped up greatly the spread of the oceanic depressions. The world was hot, steaming, and often flooded or on ...

... mythological splinters which tell of a culture-hero and his dealings with other survivors. This myth does not belong to the Paradise Myth' complex proper, that is, to the tales describing the Loss of Paradise' and the Fall of Man' (cf. next chapter). The above fragment simply tells of the achievements of a tribe of deluge survivors who developed part of the mountain refuge to which they had escaped from the cataclysm. For some reason or other-probably because the word used in the Hebrew text, eden (which, admittedly, is not of Hebrew origin), is almost certainly cognate with Sumerian edinu, the Paradise of Genesis ii. 8 was supposed to have ...

... caused by the streaming off of the atmospheric girdle-tide is duly recorded by a number of peoples. In this case it is those living in higher latitudes who furnish us with their significant tales. The Loucheux or Dinjiéh Indians, the northern most tribes touching upon the Eskimos, say that at the time of the Great Flood the canoe of their deluge hero floated upon the waters till they had evaporated through the great heat. The Tchiglit Indians settling on the lower reaches of the Mackenzie River tell in their deluge myth of the great differences in the temperature of the air (caused by the ebbing to and fro of the atmosphere): the whole world was submerged, and those who ...

... , a Herculaneum, somewhere, underneath central and north western Illinois or Tennessee, of the most marvellous character; not of Egypt, Assyria, or the Roman Empire, things of yesterday, but belonging to an inconceivable antiquity; to pre-glacial times ; to a period ages before the flood of Noah; -a civilization which was drowned and deluged out of sight under the immeasurable clay-flood of the comet. Man crawled timidly backward into the history of the past over his little limit of six thousand years; and at the farther end of his tether he found the perfect civilization of early Egypt. He rises to his feet and looks still backward, and the vista of history spreads ...

... , the human mind is all too inclined to evade troublesome and fearful memories. Plato was already aware of this psychological problem when he states in the Laws (III) that "at any rate they seem to have been strangely forgetful of the catastrophe"; or when he narrates through the mouth of another that "you remember but one deluge, though many had occurred previously (Timaeus 23B)." A modern author and professor of history, Frank E. Manuel, also indicates that man is not yet cured from the traumatic experiences of yore. Quoting Count Buffon, Manuel recounts the calamitous suffering of early man-". . . the sight of the combats of ...

Tlahuizcal-panteuctli or the Morning Star appeared for the first time following the convulsions of the earth overwhelmed by a deluge." It looked like a monstrous serpent. "This serpent is adorned with feathers: that is why it is called Quetzal-cohuatl, Gukumatz or Kukulcan. just as the world is about to emerge from the chaos of the great catastrophe, it is seen to appear."(20) The feather arrangement of Quetzal-cohuatl "represented flames ...

89. Flood Legends: Their Hidden Perspectives [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History IV:1 (Jan 1982) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION Flood Legends: Their Hidden Perspectives James E. Strickling Legends of the Great Deluge have survived in all parts of the world. They clearly embody remembrances of an ancient world-wide catastrophe; it is inconceivable that so many accounts could have risen as a result of nothing but localized flooding conditions. This is evidenced not only in their proliferation but in their geographical scope and similarity of content. Most of the legends fall into one of two general categories. In one of these a favored family is saved, and in the other we find survivors varying in number and relationship- a remnant ...

The book was intended to replace the then popular Theory of the Earth (1681) by Thomas Burnet, and dealt with a theme with which Newton had been concerned for more than a score of years. This book contended that the cataclysm described in the Old Testament as universal Deluge was caused by the impact of a comet at the end of the third millennium B.C ., and that up to the Deluge the solar year had the duration of 360 days only, yet the new calendar of 365 days had to wait to be introduced by Nabonassar (in 747 B.C .) . These contentions ...
