... . Chief among his critics has been the well-known astronomer, author and television personality Dr. Carl Sagan of Cornell University. While brilliantly defending Velikovsky's work, Carl Sagan & Immanuel Veli-kovsky mercilessly dissects Sagan, the blatantly snide, dishonest and unprofes-sional arguments' and exposes the sordid and unscientific side of scientific' controversy. "An excellent and erudite Destruction of Saganism... awe-inspiring... The completeness of it, the completeness of it."- Robert Anton Wilson, author of Cosmic Trigger and The New Inquisition. "Ginenthal's style and reasoning are clear, and his facts are straight. He has actually done the research that Sagan only pretended to have done.. ...
802. The Twelfth Planet: by Zecharia Sitchin [Journals] [Kronos]
... of cloud and pelted the pillar with thunderbolts, the imagination of the people saw in this the planet-god Jupiter-Marduk rushing to save the earth by killing the serpent-monster Typhon-Tiamat" [p . 174]. Another conflict concerns the exhortations of the biblical prophets. Sitchin uses the biblical prophecies of Amos, Joel, Isaiah and Zechariah, which refer to destruction, earthquakes, melted mountains, the Sun going down at noon, etc., as support for their knowledge of the coming of Marduk: The Day of the Lord [pp. 220-221, 362]. According to Velikovsky, these prophets lived at the time of the Mars-Earth events. Their words were inspired by the tradition of ...
803. Saturn's Sacred Mountain [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... as the Axis Mundi or Polar Column, an elongated conical shape tapering away from Earth. In reality, this Column or Axis was a churning cyclone of cosmic dimensions. Throughout its existence, and from a distance, it presented a peaceful and beautiful image. There were times, however, when it turned into a terrible vortex of great destruction. [15] Talbott has long held the opinion that it was this Axis which was venerated in ancient times as the Cosmic Mountain god. To repeat what I have already stated elsewhere, [16] the sources are not all too clear on this point. It is true that Mount and Axis are often spoken of as having ...
804. On Dragons and Red Dwarves [Journals] [Aeon]
... committed to memory and preserved orally for untold generations, now became the common possession of all who could read and write. At the same time, ancient myths became increasingly subject to the vicissitudes of cultural evolution and modifications arising from creative innovation and the attempt to historicize and localize the sacred events. Despite the ravages of time and the wholesale destruction of countless cultures and their sacred traditions, it is still possible to reconstruct the basic events behind the myth of the dragon-combat. That those events were celestial in nature there can be little doubt. And as the celestial prototype for the warrior-hero, the planet Mars figures prominently in numerous ancient myths of the dragon-combat. Indeed, it is ...
805. Radioactivity in the Bible (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Uzzah (II Sam. 6:6-7), while Nadab and Abihu were punished this way (Lev. 10:1-2). In what could be described as a "witch-test" (radioactive) dust from the floor of the tabernacle was used (Num. 5:17-31).(9 ) A few generations after the destruction of the Temple- a time when, according to Velikovsky, the "Shamir" had become inactive- there lived a prophet called Zechariah, who participated in the reconstruction of the Temple. Zechariah tells us in 5:6-11 that he once was shown an ephah with a leaden cover, containing a woman, sitting in the midst ...
806. Indra [Journals] [Kronos]
... the sound of his wailing lest Kronos, his father, should hear him. Finally, like Indra, Zeus also dethroned his father and it was then that Zeus became the new king of the gods (40) Nor does the historical similarity of these two gods end there. In Greek mythology we see how, in revenge for the destruction of the Giants, Gaea gave birth to the monster Typhon whom she then sent to destroy Zeus. During their first clash, Typhon put Zeus to flight and only later was Zeus able to regain his courage and vanquish Typhon.(41) In Hindu mythology we also see Tvashtri, in revenge for the death of Trisiras, bring ...

809. Immanuel Velikovsky: A Short Biography [Journals] [Pensee]
... which brought the downfall of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom- as a starting point from which to synchronize the histories of Egypt and Israel. He titled his work Ages in Chaos. The cause of the catastrophe terminating the Middle Kingdom remained unexplained. One afternoon, in October, 1940, Velikovsky noticed an important fact: the Book of Joshua describes a destructive shower of meteorites occurring before the sun "stood still" in the sky. Could this be a coincidence, or were the ancients recording a cosmic disturbance that must have shaken the entire Earth and might have been related to the upheavals approximately 50 years earlier during the Exodus? A survey of other sources around the world convinced Velikovsky that ...
810. Oedipus and Akhnaton [Journals] [Pensee]
... the father, was a heinous act that could only bring dire retribution. The whole tragedy of Oedipus is that there was no wise course or redemptive option; everything was foredoomed, and the gods themselves were subject to fate. With the Hebrews it was different: God could make mistakes and change his mind. Nineveh could be doomed to destruction and God could announce his decree through his Prophet Jonah; but the same God could be moved to compassion by the repentance of the Ninevites and rescind his decree. For the Hebrews, there was always hope; for the Greeks, there could be none once a fate was sealed. Velikovsky (p . 195) makes the perceptive ...
