... of hosts. Jehovah banished all vapor foes just as Zeus banished the serpent-legged Titans and it was ended in the mountain at the pole, Mount Zion. This Prophet's declaration is supplemented again and again in Hebrew thought. A little later in the book of Obadiah it is reLated how the march of vapors from the south should affect the veil's destruction. "The south shall possess the Mount of Esau" (19), and Micah "The mountains shall be molten" (1 :4 ). And still later when the destruction was to some extent completed, Malachi says "I hated Esau and laid his mountains waste". There is hardly a prophet in biblical thought ...
752. The Spring Of Ares [Journals] [Kronos]
... other hand, relates that Ares was prominent among the Scythians, who worshipped the god in the form of a sword. There, however, the trail appears to vanish.(7 ) The derivation of the god's name is equally obscure. Our oldest sources are nevertheless agreed upon the following: To the Greeks, Ares personified death and destruction, being fundamentally the god of war and pestilence.(8 ) The dread which could be aroused by the spectre of Ares can be gleaned from the following lines of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex: Muffle the wildfire Ares, warring with copperhot fever . . . For, O, what night has spared us He does at break of ...
753. Velikovsky, Mars, and the Eighth Century B. C. Part One [Journals] [Kronos]
... from Egypt, reference to a "celestial phenomenon" in a Chinese poem, and the traditional date of the Olympic Era accepted by Greek chronologists. I will discuss each in turn. In Breasted's Ancient Records of Egypt, we find that in the third year of Pharaoh Osorkon II of the Twenty-second Dynasty, there was an exceptionally deep and destructive flood: The flood came on, in this whole land; it invaded the two shores as in the beginning. This land was in his power like the sea, there was no dike of the people to withstand its fury. All the people were like birds upon its [ - - - ] the tempest - - - his ...
754. Venus: A Battle Star? [Journals] [Horus]
... these auguries for the fifth and sixth groupings of Document B (lines 16-23), there are references to hostilities after- but not during- either superior or inferior conjunction of Venus. 16. If Venus becomes visible in the East on the sixth of Abu, there will be showers of rain given from the sky; there will be destruction. 17. It is in the East until the tenth of Nisan; on the eleventh day of Nisan, it disappears. 18. It remains gone from the sky for three months; on the eleventh of Duzu, Venus again lights up in the West. 19. Then there will be hostilities in the country, [but ...
755. Scientists support Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , Neptune and Pluto, were displaced into their present orbit by encounters with other planets: this conclusion is a consequence of his analysis of the solar nebula, which indicates that Saturn was initially the outermost planet to form in the nebula. Analysis by Schaeffer and Heymann (6 ) of meteoric material led them to conclude that at least two destructive collisions have occurred about 600 million years ago and another about 300 million years ago. Collisions of the type described should lead to angular momentum characteristics of the planets that will not necessarily be easily understood. Colombo (7 ) has observed that, although Mercury, the moon and several satellites of Jupiter and Saturn have odd angular momentums, ...
756. The After-Effects of Newton's Comet of 1680 AD [Journals] [SIS Review]
... big storm'. I wondered what might have caused the big storm'. As a mathematician then working on orbits, I turned to Manuel's Isaac Newton, Historian [1 ]and found a fascinating sentence: Comets were phenomena in whose progress God had to intervene from time to time, and in 1680 the world came pretty close to destruction' - an amazing statement that I felt ought to be followed up. But then, on Tuesday 15th October 1987, we suffered another big storm' which also destroyed trees across southern England. Again, one reason cited was the age of the trees and, as this big storm' was apparently normal' and not caused by ...

... , Neptune and Pluto, were displaced into their present orbit by encounters with other planets: this conclusion is a consequence of his analysts of the solar nebula, which indicates that Saturn was initially the outermost planet to form in the nebula. Analysis by Schaeffer and Heymann (6 ) of meteoric material led them to conclude that at least two destructive collisions have occurred between bodies in the solar system. One encounter occurred about 600 million years ago and the other about 300 million years ago. Collisions of the type described should lead to angular momentum characteristics of the planets that will not necessarily be easily understood.

758. On Velikovsky And Darwin [Journals] [Kronos]
... make many observations, but his theory was chosen in defiance of observational data, not because of observational data. The geological and paleontological record shows no gradual transition, no continuity. Rather, it shows that there were sudden, numerous, and simultaneous extinctions of older species and sudden, numerous, and simultaneous generations of newer species. The destructions and extinctions that Darwin found in the Americas were so massive and so extensive that at first his mind was, in his own words, ". . . irresistably hurried into the belief of some great catastrophe; but thus to destroy animals, both large and small, in Southern Patagonia, in Brazil, on the Cordillera of Peru ...

... latter object being envisaged as the upholder of the ancient heavens? (3 ) Why were the greatest of ancient goddesses- Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, Isis, Anat, Aphrodite, etc.- invoked by the epithet Queen of Heaven and specifically identified with the planet Venus? (4 ) Why were those same goddesses associated with a destructive epiphany said to have threatened the very foundations of heaven and earth? (5 ) Only Velikovsky, among the hundreds of scholars who have explored these traditions, dared to ask the question: Is it possible to explain the myth of the goddess from the behavior of the planet? Close upon the heels of each of these questions follows ...

... the surveillance of the newly-established Communist regime's Secret Police and family upheaval followed. As described by Velikovsky: ". .. I took my parents, threatened by arrest, to the Ukraine and the Caucasus, where we spent over two and a half years in vain efforts to reach Palestine. During these years of civil war we saw much destruction and ourselves came close to being engulfed." Despite such obstacles to his education he succeeded in continuing his studies at the universities of Edinburgh and Karkhov, finally gaining his medical degree at Moscow University in 1921. The same year he obtained for his parents the first legal exits to be granted by the new government, enabling them to ...
