... magical mushroom or the fabled LSD- the result is the awakening of consciousness, the veil of amnesia has been lifted." This heightening of sensitivity and humanity Doran compared to that of the Hopi Indians, whose world view is conditioned down to the smallest detail of ritual and prayer by their culturally transmitted memories of repeated migration at times of world destruction. Velikovsky's work, in this context, becomes properly a paradigm provided for the specifically western consciousness, which seems to demand the authority of scientifically established proof before it will be convinced of a basis for action. 7) Dr. W. Mullen (Hodder Fellow in the Humanities, Princeton University). "Structuring the Apocalypse: ...
592. Chapter 16 Hittites ? Lydians [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... the Lydians, living in the first millennium B.C ., they could be mixed together. In this respect, James et al. state that at Gordion in Central Anatolia, near the region of Boghazköy: "Soundings taken from the underlying strata of earlier phases produced completely unsuspected results. Most Hittite settlements are sealed with a clear destruction level, separating them from any traces of subsequent occupation. No archaeological relationship between the Hittites and Phrygians had therefore been envisaged. At Gordion, however, there was no such break. Instead, the two cultures appear to have coexisted for a considerable time. "This process was clearly reflected in the successive levels at Gordion. The ...
593. A Critical Re-appraisal of the Book of Genesis, Part Two [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... elements drawn from the Babylonian myths which are absolutely remote from and completely alien to the Hebrew spirit. One only has to compare the Genesis account of Creation with the Babylonian one to realise how intrinsically different they are: The two accounts are as follows: Bible Babylonian Creation Tablets 1 Light 1 Birth of the gods, their rebellion and threatened destruction. 2 Atmosphere and water 2 Tiamat prepares for battle. Marduk agrees to fight her. 3 Land, vegetation 3 The gods are summoned and wail bitterly at their threatened destruction. 4 Sun and Moon (regulating lights) length; defeats Tiamat, splits her in half like a fish and thus makes heaven and earth. 4 Marduk ...
594. Clockwork [Books] [de Grazia books]
... you know what... The other point to stress is that the end of so many settlements around -1200 (conventional dating) indicates that this date actually falls between -780 and -680, that is, the Martian period. Gammon seems to shunt aside this evidence when, with his mind perhaps upon Egypt, he says, regarding the destructions that ended the Late Bronze Age, "the evidence that these may have been due to natural causes rather than the agency of man remains scanty." (p . 107) Perhaps Velikovsky did the same, in order to progress with his idea of further shortening Egyptian chronology; that is, he abandoned his fix on the Martian ...
595. The Two Sargons and Their Successors (Part II) [Journals] [Aeon]
... incidentally, is not unique to the Akkadian period. (Until the recent discoveries at Tell el Dab'a, the Hyksos period in Egypt, in which even Heinsohn believes, was bereft of stratigraphical evidence. No Hyksosian monuments were known). Not least of the considerations concerning Mesopotamian archaeology are the vicissitudes of history itself, with so much wholesale destruction and energetic rebuilding by various rulers- something that Heinsohn belittles. One must remember that the conquerors of antiquity often razed the cities they vanquished right to the ground and, in some cases, as with Sennacherib at Babylon, had the rubble carted away. One should also consider the manner in which detritus accumulated on the original uneven ground ...
596. Evidence of Careenings of the Globe [Books]
... that, unable to penetrate the frozen tundras, flood extensive land areas. In regard to the remains of mammoths, mastodons, dinosaurs, and other prehistoric animals now being found at widely scattered areas of the earth, at many different latitudes, and in successive earth formations, three facts stand out: First, the fact of their total destruction. Second, the fact that the last members of the species died suddenly while in a condition of good health. Third, the fact that their remains show their habitations extended over widely scattered and now separated land areas.2 The theory of the recurrent careenings of the globe fits the evidence better than any other. The careening theory ...
597. Sinking and Rising Lands [Books] [de Grazia books]
... were perhaps driven to explore and immigrate by a further sinking of their homeland coasts. The age of the comet-god Athena-Venus preceded these episodes of the age of the god Mars by under a thousand years. The Gulf of Mexico may have been sunk at this time, for the peoples of the Mexican Gulf Coast were not long afterwards lamenting the destruction of their previous civilization by the jaguar-god (a Venus symbol) and storm-god Hurracan, and telling of how they were taught their arts by a few people who came from the east. Kelly and Dachille wrote that the Gulf of Mexico has the superficial appearance of a meteoritic impact crater. In Cook's reconstruction of the area prior to continental ...
598. Apollo and the Planet Mars [Journals] [Aeon]
... : "The ancients derived Apollon from apollonai in the sense of destroyer... Phonetically there is nothing to be said against it. But we cannot decide on an etymology by means of phonetic laws only. The meaning also has a right to be considered. Now we have no right to say that from the beginning Apollon was a destructive god." (7 ) With this declaration the clear testimony of Homer and Aeschylus was thrust aside, and Muller proceeded to derive Apollo from a Sanskrit form *Apa-ver-yan, meaning "opener," a reference to the sun's role in opening the gates of heaven. (8 ) Needless to say, it would be difficult to ...

... pole and discussed the theoretical interpretations of several catastrophists. He expressed his personal preference of interpreting the polar column as a Rankine vortex. Part IV concludes this paper. CARDONA: THE ARCTIC CARNAGE Meanwhile, does not this scenario, involving a tornado of planetary proportions, raise even more demands? . . . we are all acquainted with the destructive force that tornadoes exhibit. Should not Saturn's Rankine vortex, therefore, have left signs of an even greater destruction? This would have been especially so since this titanic maelstrom would have wrought its devastation while laterally standing still. A full exposition concerning the history of the axis mundi requires a volume [by itself]. . . . ...
600. Velikovsky and His Heroes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in the sight of the Lord, and of another king, that he did good in the sight of the Lord. Agag king of the Amalekites being slain at the command of the Prophet Samuel - from a 19th-century Bible. King Saul, on the right, shies away from the deed. Through Samuel, God had commanded the complete destruction of every person and possession of the Amalekites, the perpetual enemies of Israel. However, after his defeat of the Amalekites, Saul spared the life of Agag, and, following the wishes of his people, saved the choicest Amalekite flocks for sacrifice. As a result Samuel announced that the throne of Israel would be removed from Saul ...
