... Dachille picture it). The main contact between Earth and Venus occurred at this point were the main discharge left Earth carrying upwards surface material and building then and there a "great chemical factory" of Venusian and Earth raw materials [16]. Legends from around the world describe this engagement. It is the battle between Marduk and the dragon Tiamat, between Isis and Seth, between Vishnu and the serpent (or Krishna and serpent), between Ormuzd and Ahriman, between the Lord and Rahab and, the most widely known of all, between Zeus and Typhon. Velikovsky proceeds, after citing these legends, to place the comet Typhon in the mid-second millennium B.C ...

... electricity from above."[11] Observers have been inside of this "enormous vacuum tube, somewhat similar to a geissler, neon or fluorescent light tube, conducting very low density electric current whenever there is a sufficient accumulation of electricity in the clouds to make the jump to Earth."[12] Typhon, the cosmic spectral dragon felled by a thunderbolt from Jupiter, was anciently described by Apollodorus as "rushing at heaven" with hissing and screams, spouting a great jet fire from his mouth. This same Typhon is probably the origin of the word "typhoon."[13] Cyclones and water spouts (water-bearing cyclones) often appear in groups. An ...
393. A Proper Respect for Authority [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . s article "The Dreams Freud Dreamed" (1941). Velikovsky was now using the psychoanalytic weapon his intellectual father had forged against his own creator, against Freud himself... Velikovsky went further. The initial aim of his research finally to emerge over twenty years later as Oedipus and Akhnaton, was to kill the Freudian father dragon in its lair. Akhnaton, the first monotheist in history, stood revealed as Oedipus. Freud's arch-saint turns out also to be his arch-sinner... Velikovsky dedicated Ages in Chaos to his physical father, but sought to erase the name of Freud, his intellectual father, with his Oedipus and Akhnaton. At the same time, ...
394. The Olympian Rulers [Books] [de Grazia books]
... conceived originally in the Saturnian disaster. Now again, in Greece, Jupiter destroyed the rule of Kronos and imprisoned him. Jupiter did not wear his new crown easily. For his new order of the world was attacked in earthshaking revolts, first by the Titans, who were Saturnians, and then by the Giants, who were ferocious humanoid dragons. Then later, Typhon came to threaten his rule and was sent crashing to Earth. In all of these battles Jupiter's thunderbolts racked the universe. The Earth was violently convulsed. Seth, then, must somehow supply in Egyptian myth and in the sky the material for the four great battles of Zeus or Jupiter. We therefore make ...

... similarly their angles directed to the cardinal points.17 The Chinese have for long paid much attention to the cardinal points. Indeed, the yang and yin ideas and the doctrine of fungshuicannot be understood without reference to the beliefs regarding the cardinal points. De Groot gives the following arbitrary Chinese connexions: East: The Blue (or green) Dragon god; Spring; wood; planet Jupiter; liver and gall. South: The Red Bird god; Summer; fire; the sun; planet Mars; heart and large intestines. West: The White Tiger god; Autumn; wind; metal planet Venus; lungs and small intestines. North: The Black Tortoise god; Winter ...

... shift. To Velikovsky's geological and mythic material they add a great deal of other evidence to support their theory. Their mythological evidence in large part, like so many others lifted directly from Velikovsky's work, is presented to corroborate their thesis. Lewis fully admits, "Mythology fairly drips with frightening allusions to cometary omens, celestial serpents, fiery dragons, mass disasters inflicted from above, entire cities destroyed by lightning bolts'..."17 To be sure, the floodgates of recent catastrophism based on myths are opening and we can expect to be deluged by recent cosmic catastrophist theories from the scientific establishment. As astronomer Duncan Steele now charges, American astronomers went too far when ...
397. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... . This is what is called a dilemma. Then I come to what Robert T. Bakker has to say about the Texas pterosaurs (The Dinosaur Heresies, pp. 290-291): "Immediately after their paper came out in Science, Wann Langston and his students were attacked by aeronautical engineers who simply could not believe that the Big Bend dragon had a wingspan of forty feet or more. Such dimensions broke all the rules of flight engineering; a creature that large would have broken its arm bones if it tried to fly...Under this hail of disbelief, Langston and his crew backed off somewhat. Since the complete wing bones hadn't been discovered, it was possible ...
398. Apollo and the Planet Mars [Journals] [Aeon]
... have inspired the Greeks to suspect a relation between the two archer-gods. There are indications, moreover, that Reseph played the role of dragon-slayer in Ugaritic myth, much like Apollo in the Delphic myth of the Python. In the Ugaritic Text 1001, for example, Reseph appears as the defender of Baal during the latter's battle with a giant dragon. It is Reseph's arrows which finally dispatch the monster, apparently rescuing Baal and the heavenly kingdom in the process (this Ugaritic text is frequently cited as an early prototype of Hab. 3: 3-15, where Yahweh fights the sea. And it is in Hab. 3 that Reseph appears as Yahweh's ally). (15) ...
... as with their treatment of other celestial signs, label him as an "elephant". His emblem appears on no fewer than 22 extant Thoth or Seth Pillars in Scotland, thus indicative of his importance in the eyes of the ancient seers. The Romans gave him the name of Cetus, but his real name was Set, the red dragon of the skies, who destroyed the earth. The importance of Cetus in this zodiac is that his Horn indicates the position of the Vernal Equinox at the time of the Great Catastrophe, it being about to quit Taurus for Aries, and for this reason the constellation has been elevated from his rightful position slightly, and occupies the celestial ...
400. Stairway to Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... planetary in nature. Thus it remains the case that, with a few notable exceptions, scholars have not been inclined to trace the mythological traditions surrounding Inanna and Nergal to Venus and Mars. [7 ] Why this should be the case is perfectly obvious: It is difficult for orthodox scholars to imagine how Inanna's various mythological attributes- fire-breathing dragon, eye-goddess, hanging goddess, lamenting goddess, etc.- could have anything to do with the Cytherean planet. Nor is it obvious how one could explain Nergal's intimate association with war, pestilence, floods, the underworld, and rebellion by reference to the planet Mars. The orthodox view, epitomized by Franz Cumont, regards the ...
