... C . may have seen fairly widespread upheavals," (44) but nothing to indicate that these upheavals were heaven-caused. Other Chinese traditions concerning solar reversals were also shown by Mewhinney to have been nothing but political fabrications and that, in any case, they are too late historically to fit Velikovsky's scheme. (45) 6. The Destruction of Sennacherib's Army Although the destruction of Sennacherib's army is usually explained by historians as the result of bubonic plague, (46) it is quite obvious from the pertinent literature that this is a forced inference based upon the account as told by Herodotus. In that much, Velikovsky was correct. (47) This version of the incident ...
... Olympiads. They have no written evidence of any antiquity relating to themselves or other nations." -JUSTYN MARTYR. PLATO represents the islands of Atlantis as highly civilized, possessing arts and crafts, ships and merchandise, and inhabited by the aboriginal race of men descended from the god Poseidon. In course of time corruption and tyranny led to the destruction of this godlike race. A great war ensued which lasted many years, the island being invaded by immense armies of Atlantean origin. In a last crucial battle, wherein we are told that the Athemans played a gallant but desperate part, the invaders were finally defeated. At the same moment an even worse blow fell, for in ...

... of the world would see the electric auroral displays with a central spiralling column over the poles. He showed a slide of a NASA infra-red photo of Earth taken from space, and there, even today, could be seen the funnel or columnar effects over the poles. Ancient imagery frequently associates thunderbolts, churning, whirlwinds and spiral serpents with destruction and the subsequent creation of new life and Zysman contends that the extraordinary atmospheric electrical activity engendered at periods of catastrophic destruction was also the divine spark' which was instrumental to the creation of new life forms. In answer to questions about the exact identifications of mythological characters with planetary bodies or other phenomena in the ancient skies, Milton gave ...
364. The Fall of Imperial Egypt [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Merneptah himself. Such a feat, worthy of a Thutmose III or a Ramses II, would have been immortalised in a grander way than upon a paltry stele. We know in any case, from other sources, that the pacification of Hatti, mentioned on the inscription, was the work of an Assyrian king. Merneptah reigned during the destruction of the Hittite Empire whose last king, Tudkaliash IV, we have already identified with Croesus. The end of Hittite power at this time can, we have seen, be linked to the activities of the Assyrian Tukulti-Ninurta, a man whom we shall also demonstrate used the appellation Tukulti-apil-esharra, Tiglath-Pileser. An air of impending doom seems to ...
365. Settled Sky and Unsettled Mind [Books] [de Grazia books]
... upon atrocious political acts for an example. Still, the question gnaws at us: "Did Homer really not known of the disasters of the century before him?" The catastrophist reaches, all too easily at times, for the "proof by non-existent proof," which comes close to begging the question. Thus, physical and biological destruction, if complete, makes memory non-existent, therefore impossible. Psychic destruction (total amnesia) also makes proof impossible in the sense that the remembering mind cannot remember any of the events one is called upon to remember. Total Psychic Destruction and/or Total Physical Destruction equals Zero Proof, hence zero recall of the catastrophic events. We ...
366. The Floods Of Deucalion And Ogyges, Part 1 Venus Ch.7 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Floods Of Deucalion And Ogyges The history of Greece knows two great natural catastrophes: the floods of Deucalion and of Ogyges. One of them, usually that of Deucalion, is described by Greek authors as having been simultaneous with the conflagration of Phaėthon. The floods of Deucalion and Ogyges brought overwhelming destruction to the mainland of Greece and to the islands around and caused changes in the geographical profile of the area. That of Deucalion was most devastating: water covered the land and annihilated the population. According to the legend, only two persons- Deucalion and his wife remained alive. This last detail must not be taken more literally than ...

... the great Greek tragedians. Throughout these hymns, there is the haunting suspicion that some spectacular cataclysm is being described, even perhaps by an eyewitness. It is as if the goddess Inanna had suddenly run amok. That Sumerian scholars have been thoroughly puzzled by such language is evidenced by the wide-ranging explanations that have been offered to account for Inanna's destructive qualities. Jacobsen, for example, compares the meteorological phenomena in the previous passages with those of a thunderstorm, concluding that Inanna was the "power in the rain clouds".(33) J. Wilson, reviewing many of the same passages, understands Inanna as the personification of a runaway oil-geyser. The cataclysmic imagery of the ...

... deserved death as a punishment for their actions. In Egypt they betrayed the secret of my slaying an Egyptian: at the Red Sea it was they that angered God by their desire to return to Egypt; in Alush they broke the Sabbath, and now they trooped together to rebel against God. They now well deserve excommunication, and the destruction of all their property. Touch, therefore, nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. '" [579] The community obeyed the words of Moses and drew back from the dwellings of Dathan and Abiram. These, not at all cowed, were not restrained from their wicked intention, but stood at ...
