... nature, would have undoubtedly inhibited or limited any immediate "graphic recordings". 2) Since there was more than one cosmic catastrophe, many "graphic recordings", dating from earlier periods, would have been obliterated. 3) As it happens, we do have a wealth of "graphic recordings" (e .g . the dragon and serpent motifs, symbols on Shang bronzes, scenes of theomachy, ubiquitous universal symbols of a cosmic nature that are not explicable or properly understood by uniformitarian analysis, papyri and other cultural sacred writings, and last but not least- the Bible (5 ) ). 4) The depiction of a terrifying experience may be transmuted and not ...
402. The Sybil and Dr Stecchini [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Kugler wrote. As to the place of composition, this too is based on Kugler's uniformitarian retro-calculations, as I tried to show in my article [FKFS 25]. Lower Egypt happens to provide an appropriate sky. (Kugler devotes a long and complex argument - with star tables - to showing that the Sibyl's line 522, "The Dragon shunned the belt [i .e . the ecliptic], could not apply to Attica, where Draco never set in any case.) Taking the parallel passage, which prophesies a fiery end for the Ethiopians, Stecchini remarks: "the emphasis on Ethiopia is comprehensible when one considers that these texts were written in Lower Egypt. ...
403. Planetary Observations of the T'ang [Articles]
... 26, 797 . Yet, retrocalculation indicates that no lunar eclipse is possible on this date. The moon is 42% full, implying therefore, the impossibility of a normal lunar eclipse which requires a full moon. In 797 the annals record floods at Rome. For the year 797 in England, the Renaissance historian Holinshed records that fiery dragons were seen in the air in England. Two grievous plagues followed. 797 or thereafter, darkness was recorded for 17 days in Byzantium. 798- In Ireland, the annalist records a "nix Magna", a Great snow, with many dying. 798, 6/20. In China, a meteor falls in the northwest ...
404. Beliefs Connected with the Cross and the Swastika [Books]
... 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 ...
... Speeding towards the sun, the waning phase of the disintegrating satellite looked-to the willing eye-like the huge horned head of a `bull'; or like a flying `bird', followed by a long tail; or like a scimitar'. Speeding away from the sun the crescent phase looked like the sharp-fanged, wide-gaping jaws of a `dragon', or a `wolf'; or like a `sickle'. When only half above the horizon, or when half eclipsed by the earth's shadow, other peculiar forms could be observed, like the `horned fish' of Indian mythology, the `sword of Surtr' of the Edda, etc. Occasionally glimpses of ...

... or moonset. Instead, a correlation was found between earthquake activity and new moon at 6am and 6pm. This was rather surprising, because the lunar tidal force is bigger than the solar tidal force. The answer, surely, lies outside the realm of gravitation and in the domain of electromagnetism. We are able to predict this because the Dragon Project (NEW SCIENTIST 13.1 .83, p. 105) detected peaks of ultrasound activity and other radiations at dawn at megalithic sites. Ultrasound can be generated by moving fault lines: the major non-gravitational difference between moonrise and sunrise is the change of Earth's magnetic field lines as Earth turns towards the solar wind. The other ...
... . The roof is formed of slabs each slightly overlapping the one below. Opening out from this main chamber are small walled-off passages from which lead a number of cells, large enough for sleeping and seating but not for standing upright. The walls of the buttresses are inscribed with ancient runes and on one is engraved the figure of a winged dragon, which may provide a clue to the motive of the chamber. I do not regard it as primarily a refuge subterranean. Lord Avebury thought that long-chambered barrows, like the Devil's Den, were planned as dwellings but used as tombs. Were they built as tombs? Like our present-day archaeologists, he had no conception of that terrible ...
408. Thoth Vol IV, No 3: Feb 15, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... It was a time when the planets were not mere specks in the night sky but instead loomed as majestic, sometimes terrifying, spheres in the heavens. Like me, Talbott received an early intellectual mentoring from that great but unrecognized interdisciplinary scholar of the 20th century, Immanuel Velikovsky. It was he who identified the biologically impossible fire-breathing, flying dragon or serpent as an awe-inspiring comet which later settled down to become the planet Venus. Velikovsky alone predicted the intense internal heat of Venus and was further vindicated before his death by the announcement of Venus' "cometary tail" which stretches as far as the Earth's orbit. As space exploration has continued, his ideas of 50 years ago ...
... pole over the years, a point which seemed intrinsically more stable than the pole itself. It was the pole of the ecliptic [n11 See A. Bouche-Leclerq, L'Astrologie Grecque (1899), p. 122: "On sait que le pole par excellence etait pour les Chaldeens le pole de l'ecliptique, lequel est dans la constellation du Dragon." Cf. also A. Kircher, Oedipus Aegyptiacus (1653), vol. 2, pt. 2, p. 205: "Ponebant Aegyptii non Aequatorem, sed Zodiacum basis loco; ita ut centrum hemispherii utriusque non polum Mundi, sed polum Zodiaci referret."], often referred to as the Open Hole in ...

... (h ) but the idea could be taken a stage further, as there is a more striking similarity to the semitic goddess An-ath and semitic influence on the Aegean is unchallengable, a feature also of Bernal's work. Casting around, it occurs to me that the Hebrew N-ath-an is also cognate (as in Jo-nathan) and what about the dragon of old, Levi-ath-on (and the dragon's associations with waters and floods)? We might play the game and think in circles (tongue in cheek). Levi or Lewi is possibly cognate with the Luwi/Luvi = the Luwians, an Aryan (? ) people of An-at-olia. The Luwians appear to have entered north-west Anatolia at ...
