... once, however, do the two writers wonder whether the tradition of the Saturnian wheel may have originated in the actual observation of a band around the planet.) As the possession of the Universal Monarch, the mill lies in the farthest north and is regularly identified with the "pole" or "axis" of the world. The Finnish Kalevala locates the mill (here called the Sampo) on a great rock in "North Farm," the polar garden of plenty. The hero Ilmarinen: .. . forged the Sampo skillfully: on one side a grain mill, on the second side a salt mill, in the third a money [i .e . ...

29. The Rape of Helen [Books] [de Grazia books]
... "for it was at this very moment that calamity began to unroll upon both Trojans and Danaans by the plans of the Great Zeus."[1 ] The Iliad is sung as the wrath of Achilles on one level - the Poet says so - but is of a type with the battles of the sky gods recited in Scandinavian, Finnish, Hindu, Mexican, Babylonian, and other epics. The Greek gods of the Trojan Wars engage in plain soldiering, hurling rocks and spears, shooting arrows, and driving chariots. They make onslaughts from heaven; they launch disasters upon Earth: plagues, fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, hail of stones and arrows, ...

Whole islands were newly formed by the bones of dead cows and sand (one is reminded of the Siberian islands formed of mammoth bones). The survivors were subjected by invading Finnish bands (just as the Hyksos invaded Egypt after the Exodus) [3 ]. The Caribbean peoples talk of an "Antilla," now sunk beneath the ocean. The Pacific Ocean and American peoples of the Southern Hemisphere say that once a continent existed where now stand a few islands amidst a great deep sea. The perplexing books ...

Finnish astronomers J. Lukkari and J. G. Piironen of the University of Oulu, measuring photographic plates taken over a 3-year period, have confirmed that Saturn's rings are asymmetrical in brightness. According to the New Scientist, astronomers have reported oddities in the symmetry of the rings since the start of the 18th century. Meanwhile S. Franck of the East German Central Earth Physics Institute has come up with a new explanation for the ...
... preceded, by 52 years, the long night; and 52 years before Joshua's miracle is a likely time for the Exodus. For this earlier catastrophe, marked by the "plagues of Egypt," Velikovsky quotes tales from all over the globe of apparently similar events: rivers turning to blood (Mayan, Egyptian, biblical, Greek, Finnish stories); "the descent of a sticky fluid which came earthward and blazed with heavy smoke is recalled in the oral and written traditions of the inhabitants of both hemispheres" [408:54] (Mayan, Siberian, East Indian, Egyptian, biblical, Babylonian); and fires, earthquakes, and the like.

(18) A giant tree is also the eclipsing agent in a fascinating tale preserved in the Kalevala. There the hero who eventually frees the sun, strangely enough, is a homunculus by the name of Sampsa. The Finnish account reads as follows: A man rose out of the sea, a hero from the waves. He was not the hugest of the huge nor yet the smallest of the small: he was as big as a man's thumb..." Confronted with this strange little man, a wiseman [Vainamoinen] chides him with the ...

G. von Hahn: Griechische und Albaniscbe Marchen [1918], vol. 2, p. 146.).]. Seen from this vantage point, the Finnish epic appears as a last dim and apparently meaningless reflection. Kullervo goes with the black dog Musti, the only living soul left from his home, into the forest where he throws himself upon his sword. Now what about Krishna, most beloved deity of the Hinduistic Pantheon? Some of his innumerable deeds and victorious adventures before his " ...

... ) came into catastrophic contact with the Earth: the Manuscript Quiche of the Maya, the so-called Papyrus Ipuwer from Egypt and the Book of Exodus all record the fact that the water in the rivers was turned into "blood". In addition to these examples, Dr. Velikovsky refers to the Greek myth of Zeus and Typhon, the Finnish epic Kalevala and the lore of the Altai Tartars. However, a more exhaustive survey of such legends would include the Sumerian myth of Inanna (a Venus goddess) who filled the wells of Sumer with "blood", the Egyptians story of the goddess Hathor (also Venus) whose visits to Earth were associated with the covering of ...

... cosmic tree, (26) and in numerous other world myths this bovine furrowed a boustrophedonic maze in the manner of a labyrinth. (This image inspired the ancient Chaldean and Greek method of writing in alternate lines, from right to left and from left to right, known as boustrophedon, or as fields are plowed.) In the Finnish Kalavala the son of air, Vainamoinen- a hermetic figure- fashions a kantele, a five stringed instrument, which he uses to lull his enemies to sleep while he absconds with their Sampo, a variant of the Sanskrit skambha, the cosmic mill. The air god Hermes similarly lulls the hundred-eyed Argus with his reed-like Syrinx, then ...

He buttressed his arguments for the need of a non-Newtonian Solar System dynamics by pointing to the many questions about the sun and planets that were still unanswered. In particular, he emphasized the present apparent conflict between modern theories of gradual evolution and catastrophism and placed himself ...

... texts is as follows: "You have traveled the Winding Waterway in the north of the sky as a star which crosses the sea beneath the sky." (51) Here, as is customary in these texts, the transmigrating soul of the dead king is identified with a celestial body. M. Haavio, a leading scholar of Finnish lore, devoted an entire manuscript to documenting the surprising popularity of this belief. Haavio summarized his findings as follows: "Those who have died a natural death and have been equipped for the journey by their living brethren will, according to the traditions of many cultures, cross a deep body of water, a stream, or rapids ...
41. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... living humans are descended from a migration out of Africa. This has now been confirmed by a more difficult analysis of the Y-chromosome. The results also indicate that there was another migration of some people back into Africa about 30,000 years ago, 10,000 years before the height of the last Ice Age. Other results show that Finnish populations are derived from a long ago migration out of northern Asia, as their language has always indicated. Life before the desert sands National Geographic May 98, geographica Radar images of the Gobi desert have shown where stream channels used to be in the now waterless environment. Several sites have yielded stone tools and evidence found in a cave ...
42. Were the "Sumerians of the Third Millennium" in Reality the Chaldeans of the First Millennium? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... will future archaeologists say about some professor's collection of tablets, or figurines and books that span 4000 years of history? I hope they will deduce that this professor was a collector and not that the Egyptian period immediately prceceded the 20th century, or that the professor lived for 4000 years. 48b Sumerian is an agglutinative language, like Hungarian and Finnish. Chaldean is Semitic, being a branch of the Aramaic language. The authors' argument is circular, already presupposing as it does the Sumerian-Chaldean connection that they wish to make. If, as they explicitly state, there are no Chaldean documents, on what basis can they compare Sumerian with Chaldean, except on the basis of their ...

... world describe the fall of blood from the sky (usually said to be the blood of wounded deities), and Velikovsky collected many examples of these in the chapter "The Red World" of "Worlds in Collision" (Part I, chapter II), from the Mayans, the Egyptian and Hebrew literature, Greek myth, and Finnish and Tartar legends amongst others. Some of these stories describe rivers turning to blood, or even the world turning red. Velikovs-ky associated many of these myths with his projected Venus disaster of c.1500 BC, but I would like to cite a few extra examples not included in "Worlds in Collision", which according to the ...

... its spherical shape when the satellite's gravitational. pull lessened and ended, all this must have made life for the fishes, too, very hard. Yet few myths tell of their death. The Gilgamesh Epic tells that the great rain fell .. . to the annihilation of birds, the annihilation of fishes'. The Voguls, a Finnish people of the Urals, tell in their deluge myth that when the flood began to sink and the survivors set foot on dry ground again, there were neither trees nor plants on the face of the earth, and all the animals had perished. Even the fishes had died. But we can infer the wholesale destruction of fishes from ...

... nomenclature as the Guenz period. The tremendous slowly flowing ice sheets, which in many places were probably several miles thick, carried along with them all sorts of rocky material which they dropped here and there, where their progress was impeded, or which they deposited at their fronts as moraines. Thus Swedish igneous rocks and sandstones, Swedish and Finnish granites, and chalk from Ruegen were carried far into Germany and Poland. It is from these moraines that the extent of the glaciation can be inferred. Eventually the satellite left its Malayan anchorage and moved on eastwards again. Slowly the nadiral air tide hill now approached Europe. The weather there became considerably warmer. The great glaciation diminished ...

... world-pillar'); the nail' may be compared with the Scandinavian Veraldar nagli, the world-nail'. The corresponding belief of the ancient Finns is found nowadays only in the phrase, known also to the Estonians, and used of people living to a very old age, that these live to be a pillar of the world' (Finnish Maailmanpatsas or Maasampa, Estonian Ilmasamba). The Ostiaks, amongst whom this pillar' was also known, and who even worshipped it as a deity, have, as we shall see, in this respect been under Turco-Tatar influence." This brings us to WIC p.97-8, where V writes: "The Lapps make offerings ...
... Finland. The National Museum has lately received a collection of modern household and domestic, utensils from Lapland, some of which bear the marks of the cross and one a churn, the lid of which bears a possible Swastika mark. Through the kindness of Professor Mason and Mr. Cushing, I have received 132 a book of standard national Finnish patterns for the embroideries of the country, gives, the Swastika among others; but it is classed among "oblique designs" and no mention is made of it as a Swastika or of any character corresponding to it. Its lines are always at angles of 45 degrees, and are continually referred to as "oblique designs." ...

... tricksters. Merlin the magician was originally a warrior. The wand of the magician functions as a sword. It is pointed at someone and he dies. Or it's thrown at someone and he dies. Well the same thing was said of the unerring sword of the warrior hero. The Smith Ilmarinen, one of the central figures of the Finnish Kalevala, was a famous warrior. It was said that the trickster Coyote, like the trickster Maui, was originally a great warrior. Study the global trickster and fool myths around the world, pull together the many diverse threads, and in every instance you will come face to face with the myth of the warrior hero. Good ...
... , Eridanus. London, 1883. 20. Compare the like conclusion of Grill, Die Erzvater der Menschheit. Leipsic, 1875 i. pp 222, 223. Grill also claims that the ancient Germans had a similar world-river, p. 223. I cannot help thinking that in the descending Ukko's stream and in the ascending Amma's stream of Finnish mythology we have traces of a like cosmic water circulation. See Castren, Mythologie, p. 45. After reading the long note in Buxtorfii, Lexicon Chaldaicum, Talmudicum it Rabbinicuni, Lipsiae, 1865, pp. 341, 342, 346 could also readily believe that we have here the true origin of the two movements or paths ...

Seera is cited by Grotius for the star, and Soeara for the whole, derived from an old lexicon; and Alsere; but he traced all to leipcos. In modern Arabia it is Suhail, the general designation for bright stars. The late Finnish poet Zakris Topelius accounted for the exceptional magnitude of Sirius by the fact that the lovers Zulamith the Bold and Salami the Fair, after a thousand years of separation and toil while building their bridge, the Milky Way, upon meeting at its completion, Straight rushed into each other's arms And melted into one; So they became the brightest ...
