... by lightning. Spiral decoration may have symbolised the maze, or the orbital circling of an intruder. Wine symbolised the blood spilt in battles in the sky. Columns and trees were worshipped. The Latin for an oak, quercus, shows that it was a ka-container. Khu is the Egyptian spirit soul. Symbolic activity at Knosos included the destruction of dangerous monsters, union with the deity, descent to the underworld, resurrection, and ascent to the sky. The task of the ruler was to acquire and exercise divine powers. Incubation was practised with the aim of uniting the royal family with the deity. Babylonian kings would spend the night in the saharu, a shrine on ...
702. Chapter VII: The Earth [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... of years, and that then, suddenly, the Dragon Planet Venus and the Red Planet Mars ended this primordial detente a few thousand years ago. Velikovsky does not speculate about the exact age of the earth. He does suggest however, that geologic evidence indicates that there have been catastrophes throughout its existence. The agents causing the most recent destructions can be identified because people were present to observe, remember, and report the events. The only evidence we have of catastrophes that occurred before the arrival of man is from the geologic record. PROBLEMS IN INTERPRETATION Locally, catastrophic events obviously occur today and have often occurred in the past. Earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, and ...

704. Oedipus Questions (Letter) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the opportunity to re-read Velikovsky's Oedipus and Akhenaten after many years. A lot of things have happened since then but the book remains vivid and has plenty to get the grey cells twitching (underneath the grey hairs). For instance, Velikovsky reveals the Sphinx (see p. 34) is an image of the cow goddess Hathor in her destructive role as Sekhmet (var. Tefnut). She has the body of a lioness (and they are fierce, roar, make a loud noise and are fearsome and very dangerous) and a human face. These can be male or female apparently. Hathor was in effect the feminine personification of the god Horus. The Sphinx at ...
705. Ancient Astronauts, Cosmic Collisions and Other Popular Theories about Man's Past (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... acceptable case for most flood stories being regionally and temporally disparate. He also notes that many deluge stories cited in favor of universality can be understood as local in character or as having been brought by early Christian proselytizers and then re-grafted into tribal tradition. Stiebing also finds that much evidence is overstated, as in the case of mass and instant destruction of Siberian mammals, believed to substantiate a universal flood. Stiebing brings expert testimony to bear here: such deaths were far less instantaneous than claimed, as decay was present in some corpses before they froze. Also, at least five locations for Noah's Ark are noted, of which Ararat, on the Turkish-Russian border, according to a ...
706. The Stormer Of The Walls, Part 2 Mars Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... to formulas: "When the earth quakes in the month of Shevat," or "When the earth quakes in the month of Nisan," then one or another event will take place. As in the following sentence, the observation could be basically correct: "When the earth quakes through the whole day, there will be a destruction of the land. When it quakes continually, there will be an invasion of the enemy."2 Reports concerning earthquakes in Mesopotamia in the eighth and seventh centuries are very numerous, and they are dated.3 Nothing comparable is known in modern times. In some of these reports, Nergal (Mars) is mentioned as the ...
707. When Was The iliad Created?, Part 2 Mars Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Homeric epos is that of the eighth or even the seventh century; the age of iron was well under way, and many other details would preclude an earlier scene.4 It is highly probable that the Homeric works were created at that time or shortly thereafter. Whether these poems were first sung by a bard who lived centuries after the destruction of Troy depends on the time when Troy was destroyed. The tradition about Aeneas who, saved when Troy was captured, went to Carthage (a city built in the ninth century) and from there to Italy, where he founded Rome (a city first built in the middle of the eighth century), implies that Troy was ...

... come into conflict with the accepted norms of uniformitarian' geology. Due to a misprint we had publicised his talk as Cosmic Bullets: the Massacre and the Cover-up' whereas it should really have been Cosmic Blitz'. Han pointed out that he had chosen the word Blitz specifically for its meaning of lightning' and its association with the catastrophic destruction of London during World War II. Han opened his talk by showing a picture of the classic visual trick of two facial silhouettes which can alternatively be seen as a single wine glass. He suggested that many people suffered from paradigm blindness', when they see only the one image and in their confrontations with those who can see the ...
709. Zeus And Athene, Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the time still a comet, that caused the catastrophe of the days of Exodus. Then why do a part of the legends tie up this event with Jupiter? The cause of this duality in the mythological handling of an historical event lies in the fact that the ancients themselves did not know for certain which of the planets had caused the destruction. Some saw the pillar of cloud- Typhon defeated by Jupiter, the ball of fire that emerged from the pillar and battled with it. Others interpreted the globe as a body different from Jupiter. The Greek authors described the birth of Athene (planet Venus), saying she sprang from the head of Jupiter. "And mighty ...

... in one instance for a period of twenty-five years." "This fact is mentioned in the Codex Chimalpopoca and in most of the traditions of Mexico."(7 ) Gómara, the Spaniard who came to the Western Hemisphere in the middle of the sixteenth century, shortly after the conquest, wrote:(8 ) "After the destruction of the fourth sun, the world plunged in darkness during the space of twenty-five years. Amid this profound obscurity, ten years before the appearance of the fifth sun, mankind was regenerated." In the years of this gloom, when the world was covered with clouds and shrouded in mist, the Quiché tribe migrated to Mexico, ...
