152 pages of results. 711. The Dresden Codex and Velikovsky's Catastrophe Dates [Journals] [SIS Review]
... only three authentic Maya books were available to scholars. These three, now known as the Paris, Madrid and Dresden Codices, were written on pages of the inner bark of fig trees, joined continuously and folded together like a screen. A heavy sizing of calcium carbonate prevented pages of codices later discovered in humid tombs from being separated without destruction of the writing. In 1971 a fourth codex in reasonable condition appeared in the Grolier Library in New York. This Grolier Codex, now in Mexico where it belongs, has been available to scholars long enough to be authenticated, and to contribute the first perpetual calendar of the phases of Venus, but not long enough to be the ...
712. Changes in the Times and the Seasons, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... confused with a disorderly huddle of fire and moisture and violent fluxions of winds. The sun was not fixed to an unwandering and certain course, so as to distinguish orient and occident, nor did he bring back the seasons in order."(6 ) In another work of his, Plutarch ascribes these changes to Typhon, "the destructive, diseased and disorderly," who caused "abnormal seasons and temperatures."(7 ) It is characteristic that in the written traditions of the peoples of antiquity the disorder of the seasons is directly connected with the derangement in the motion of the heavenly bodies. The oral traditions of primitive peoples in various parts of the world also ...
713. Emperor Yahou, Part 1 Venus Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... "The water was well up on the high mountains, and the foothills could not be seen at all."(4 ) (This recalls Psalms 104: "The waters stood above the mountains .. . they go up by the mountains" and Psalms 107: "The waves mount up to the heaven.") "Destructive in their overflow are the waters of the inundation," said the emperor. "In their vast extent they embrace the hills and overtop the great heights, threatening the heavens with their floods." The emperor ordered that all efforts be made to open outlets for the waters that were caught in the valleys between the mountains. For ...
714. Tiryns [Journals] [Pensee]
... of the Mycenaean palace was familiar to the builders of the temple; the floor of the palace served as the floor of the temple. However, the Greek temple was built in the seventh century. After deliberating on the evidence, the excavators refused to accept the end of the Mycenaean Age in the second millennium as the time of thp destruction of the palace, and decided that the palace had survived until the seventh century. In their opinion the Mycenaean pottery was refuse of an early stage of the palace; the terra cotta figures and flasks of archaic [seventh century] type were offerings of the pilgrims to the Greek temple of Hera. A continuity of culture from Mycenaean ...

716. The Social Impact of Velikovsky on our Generation [Articles]
... sources of information upon which Dr. Velikovsky was able to draw, (from the New World Codices to the extensive geological records), is the same man whose philosophy and religious tenets became bankrupt, as Neitzche's madman proclaimed before the turn of the century. Although his announcement went unheeded, the same message assumed material form in the massive destruction of the World Wars and by the even more widespread trauma heralded by Black Tuesday in 1929 - the Great Depression. When we consider that this same Man devised the atomic holocaust of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, any observer can appreciate the setting for understanding a cataclysmic cosmos. As the participants in a new paradigm, Velikovskians need not disregard the ...
717. Apollo Objects, Atlantis and the Deluge: A Catastrophical Scenario for the End of the Last Glaciation [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . Spedicato implies that Velikovsky himself might have followed such a route if the Apollos had been better known in the period before Worlds in Collision [1 ] was published ( 'the Apollo objects, were unknown to Velikovsky' [2 ]) . But Velikovsky was insistent throughout that his ancient sources unequivocally identified the planets as the agents of destruction, and seemed to regard his unorthodox planetary physics as a major breakthrough rather than an awkward ad hoc measure. Spedicato also adduces a remarkable explanation of the special role of Venus and Mars in Babylonian records... given by Clube and Napier, in terms of orbital periods, commensurability between these planets and the comets Hencke and Halley ...
718. The Seven-Gated Thebes and The Hundred-Gated Thebes. Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... cause of the Persians and fought on their side at Thermopylae ( -480). When one of the Boeotian towns, Plataea, declared its independence, and Athens supported the seceders, the Thebans became bitter enemies of Athens. And when in the ensuing Peloponnesian War Athens surrendered to Sparta ( -404), the Thebans clamored for its destruction. After the Peloponnesian War Thebes and Sparta entered a period of rivalry for supremacy in Greece. Thebes allied itself with Argos and Athens to defeat Sparta in the Corinthian War ( -387); gaining temporary hegemony, Thebes humiliated Sparta. Its authority was established also in Macedonia in the north, and Philip, the youngest son of ...
719. Guyana Mass Suicide. Ch.7 Chronicle Of Our Time (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... Jonestown, Guyana, as more and more corpses were discovered, to more than nine hundred. The cultists had followed Jones, their undisputed leader, first from Indiana to California, then to Guyana, there to die in a ceremony in which over three hundred children were also sacrificed, given poison to drink. In the orgy of human destruction, death was not all self-inflicted: many were shot by other cultists. Psychologists and sociologists had little to offer in efforts to explain what had taken place. The cultists lived under the spell of the personality of a man who had some ideas of social reform; he amassed a fortune in the millions by making his followers transfer to ...

... massive explosion over Tunguska in 1908 to have been a UFO. However, the detailed review of the evidence does leave the more orthodox explanations of exploding asteroids or comets with a few questions unanswered. UFO or not, there appear to have been many signs that radiation was involved, just as if it were a nuclear explosion.
