... A link with catastrophism would be provided if it could be shown that the ten-month year of Romulus preserved the memory of a shorter solar year. Velikovsky has indicated that the Earth may have been moved out of its orbit and further away from the Sun at an early date . If this were so, the ages of the antediluvian patriarchs in Genesis, for example, could be revised downward. I should like to make one point about Mike Rowland's proposed 365th day inserted between Sunday and Monday. It would break the seven-day cycle and cause problems for those who observe a weekly Sabbath or Sunday. GEORGE M. HOLLASETER \cdrom\pubs\journals\workshop\no6\11lettr ...

He wonders if the Apollo' group of asteroids might be relics of such an encounter. 5. Hugh Eggleton of Kidlington suggests that the fight between Jacob and the angel (Genesis 32:24ff) was fought in the heavens and represents a celestial disturbance. He notes that there is little to go on from the Biblical text, but on looking at the Jewish legends compiled by Ginzberg (LEGENDS OF THE JEWS vol.1 , Philadelphia [1909]) there is an abundance of material. Firstly, it ...

... sat on this seat on the fala. It would be a good place from which to observe a smash, even to cause one. The Greek palaestra, where wrestling took place, was holy ground, as was a threshing floor, and the gymnasiarch wore white shoes. Perhaps the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel (Old Testament Genesis XXXII) should be considered, together with the many Egyptian references to the god of the thigh, which was situated in the sky. At a Greek sacrifice it was usual to offer the god slices from the thighs of the victim. Kole' is the thigh-bone and flesh. The Latin poples is the back of the knee, ...

... ]. Or have we forgotten that early lesson? How, then, can we ascertain what is valid in Greek mythology and what is not? Actually, just about everything in mythology, Greek or otherwise, can be said to be valid one way or the other but the truth of any assertion has to be sought in a traceable genesis and complimented through comparison. Whatever fails to fit universal belief must then be explained in some other way. And while this may be called selectivity, it is hardly indiscriminate. But only by examining the mythologies of all races, and in much more thoroughness than Velikovsky did, can we ever hope to recover the messages embedded within them ...

Whiston, in his 18th century English translation of Josephus's Antiquities of the Jews, offers this footnote for the parallel passage: This notion, that the fallen angels were, in some sense the fathers of the ...
