... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1993 (Vol XV) Home | Issue Contents The Origins of the Latin God Mars by Ev Cochrane Ev Cochrane is the editor and publisher of Aeon. Over the past 15 years he has been pursuing researches in the fields of archaeoastronomy, mythology and biological evolution and has contributed numerous articles to Aeon and Kronos. He is currently preparing a book titled The Many Faces of Venus. The history of classical scholarship reveals a handful of noteworthy attempts to explain the origins of the Latin god Mars. The first great study was that of W. Roscher, of Lexikon fame [1 ]. Roscher approached the subject from the vantage point of ...
912. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... In his research Benny had come across matters which had shattered his previous views of Velikovsky. It had long been appreciated that Velikovsky had many predecessors in the field of cosmic catastrophism; Velikovsky himself had acknowledged several. Their brand of catastrophism had, however, been largely eclipsed by the uniformitarianism which prevailed with the general acceptance of Darwin's theory of evolution. Velikovsky was therefore hailed as the re-inventor of catastrophism. There was, however, a reference in Alfred de Grazia's Cosmic Heretics to a William Comyns Beaumont. Beaumont had some fanciful ideas that the Egyptian dynasties had been in Wales and the real Jerusalem was Edinburgh, a thought which amused our Scottish editor. More to the point though ...
913. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the evidence can be otherwise interpreted by conventional theories (although not all, such as the emerald light and the going up in the West and down in the East'). Although quite complex life may be able to exist at the bottom of the oceans, I am surely not alone in finding it hard to believe that our entire evolution could have taken place in near total darkness ( 'a diffuse glow') and, if what light was available throughout this time was outside the visible spectrum, where are the species which should have preferentially evolved to adapt to this. Why is our current spectral range so limited? I am not even touching on the question of ...
914. Is Venus Younger Than Earth? [Journals] [Kronos]
... that the energy available to the atmosphere below the cloud tops is about the same. The temperature difference is generally explained in terms of a greenhouse effect. Another possibility, which is argued here, is that Venus is much younger than Earth, for it is known that Earth itself had substantially higher internal temperatures at an earlier stage of its evolution.(1 ,2 ) There is a little additional evidence for this point of view in the atmospheric composition observations and in interpretations of the geomorphology of Venus. There has been a recent quantum jump in the information available about Venus from the Pioneer Venus spacecraft: for example, an entire 750-page issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research ...
... vapor in the lower atmosphere, and the true value is probably close to 0.01 [1 /100 of a] percent. The cloud tops are drier still."2 Therefore, the requirement of sufficient water vapor to do the job is not established. This raises an interesting question. If Venus went through the same early evolution as the Earth billions of years ago, it would have, over time, out-gased an ocean of water at least comparable to that of the Earth. Young and Young tell us that, "If one assumes that Venus once had as much water as the Earth has now, it is necessary to explain how all but one part ...

917. Solomon's Temple: An Astronomical Observatory [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Gordon. I am among those who believe that the chronology of the ancient world must be drastically revised. Whether or not we follow Velikovsky's plan exactly is not the point. The point is this: if the standard chronology for the East Mediterranean world has errors involving hundreds of years, how can we possibly develop an exact study of the evolution of writing styles? I do not believe, moreover, that the merits of the Paraiba inscription should rest solely on the basis of Cross's paleographical arguments. For a general description of the connections between ancient Mediterranean and American worlds, which are also important, the works of Barry Fell and other writers beside Gordon should be consulted.3 ...
918. Historical Paradise and Collective Psychology [Journals] [Horus]
... them a more literal meaning. It is unpopular these days to suggest that humankind originated in a pristine, paradisal state unless, of course, one is arguing from a biblical fundamentalist/creationist position, which I am not. To believe in historical paradise is to question the underpinnings of anthropology: the ideas of progress and of human cultural evolution are so thoroughly accepted - not only by scientists, but by most laymen - that one must have solid grounds for questioning them. Therefore, while I hope to approach the subject of the relationship between the memory of paradise and mass psychology, I must begin by setting forth my reasons for proposing that the Golden Age was a real ...
919. China's Dragon [Journals] [Pensee]
... the cloud symbols show the heavens to be on fire. Fire is further emphasized by a globe with fire symbols- with lightning and thunder symbols as well. The globe is being chased by the dragon, also in flames or giving off lightning, these things being shown by antlerlike tendrils coming from the dragon as they do from the globe. Evolution of the Urbild Judging from my own researches, the depiction went through several stages. First came the Urbild, the picture of a scene. Then there began a breaking down of the total conception, and the elements came more and more to be used as decorative motifs, with lessened symbolism. Various factors preserved the dragon-chasing-pearl motif in ...
920. Forum: Did Jews Fabricate Their History Between 500 and 1099AD? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... history. Let me conclude with a word of caution to any reader contemplating a challenge to this total rewrite of universal history: I doubt whether prolonging the debate about a rather fleeting period of medieval history will appeal to many readers. Instead, SIS members may be more inclined to brood over another idea of Illig and Heinsohn: that the evolution of humankind (from the first homo erectus some 700,000 years ago to today's space age) occurred in just over 5,000 years [49, 50]. Why bicker over 3 phantom centuries if one can wrangle over 700 ghost millennia? References 1. Roskies, D.G . (ed.), The ...
