... (the time of) the moon, a generation of generations." [See A.S . V., 1901, fn. 7. Ed.] A "generation of generations" means a very long time. Of course, it is of no use to counter this psalm with the myth of the first chapter of Genesis, a tale brought down from exotic and later sources. It is probably the most remote remembrance of mankind: the time when there was no moon. The memory of a world without a moon lives in oral tradition among the Indians. The Indians of the Bogota highland in the eastern Cordilleras of Columbia relate some of their tribal reminiscences ...
352. The 360 Day Year: An Ambiguity Resolved [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... we may ask what might change the strength of cosmic radiation in the first millennium B.C .? The best answer so far given is that an increase in the strength of the earth's magnetic field shielded the air from more of this radiation than before (Eddy 1977). What caused terrestrial magnetism to increase? If we knew the genesis of this field the answer would he more certain. In qualitative terms, anything producing differential motion between the earth's liquid core and the mantle, as a rotational change surely would, should increase magnetic field strength. 3. The Heavens Proclaim Among the evidence marshalled by Velikovsky is a reference to the Panchasiddhantika, a compilation of astronomical works ...
353. The Identification of the Biblical "Queen of Sheba" with Hatshepsut, "Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia" (Part III) [Journals] [Kronos]
... name under which she was registered in the Bible: Sheba, transcribed "Saba" in Greek, was the name of the capital of Ethiopia up to the time when this name was changed, by Cambyses, to Meroe.69 That Sheba/Saba was connected very closely with Egypt can be deduced also from the table of nations in Genesis, where Saba appears among the descendants of Ham (son of Noah), as son of Kush, the elder brother of Egypt.70 That Ethiopia (part of present-day northern Sudan, and Erithraea) was under Egyptian rule at the time of Hatshepsut is proved by the fact that her caravans actually came as far south as the ...

355. The Milky Way [Journals] [Aeon]
... where it was held that the departed souls mounted either a celestial ladder or the Milky Way in order to reach their heavenly destination. (60) The Tsimshian Indians of North America likewise recount tales of a ladder stretching from Earth to heaven. (61) The most familiar example of such a sky-ladder, perhaps, is the account in Genesis: "And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth and the top of it reached the sky, and behold the angels of god ascending and descending upon it." (62) As Cumont has documented, such ideas have proven to be very durable: "How did souls rise to the stars? ...

357. Soddom and Gomorrah 'Found At Bottom of Dead Sea'? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... to examine the evidence. These Bible stories were handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation before they were written down, and there seems to be a great deal in this one." God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah to punish the sexual immorality of their inhabitants is one of the most graphic episodes in the Old Testament. Genesis says that "the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground". Many archaeologists and scholars have concluded that the story was symbolic, a warning to erring humans ...
358. Confusion Breeds on Assumptions [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in following the mytho-historical record and accepting it as correct, it was not possible to make a clear distinction between past Ages because no clear line had been drawn between the Deluge and the Flood. The Book of Moses is accepted as the infallible scriptural record and Moses is regarded as living in the era of the Flood. However, in Genesis, Ch. 1, verse 14, Moses relates of the time when there were seasons before the advent of night and day – even though it was the two greater lights (Sun and Moon) that brought night and day to his era 3,500 years before theFlood. Therefore, both the event of the Deluge and the ...
359. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Sir, May I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your very fine issue of SIS Review, Volume IV No. 2/3 for Winter 1980? Dr Alfred de Grazia's "In Memoriam" for Dr Velikovsky gave us a new, more intimate look at Dr Velikovsky, the man, the Jew, the scholar. "The Genesis of the Jerusalem Scripta" re-emphasises the breadth of Velikovsky's interest and expertise. What a mind he had! He was nothing less than a genius. Brian Moore's "Sagan's Nerve" is a piece of unexcelled satire, as only you British can produce! I hope you sent a copy to Carl Sagan. I have no scholarly comments ...
360. The Enclosed Sun-Cross [Books]
... -- VI The Enclosed Sun-Cross The Four Rivers of Paradise "And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads." (1 ) So reads the Book of Genesis. The four rivers of Adam's paradise, according to many Hebrew and early Christian accounts, flowed in opposite directions, spreading to the four corners of the world. (2 ) The tradition is apparently universal. The Navaho Indian narration of the "Age of Beginnings" speaks of an ancestral land from which the inhabitants were driven by a great catastrophe. Among the occupants of this remote home, some say, were " ...
