... of the Mesopotamian deities originated as embodiments of natural phenomena associated with gas escapes and explosive petroleum geysers. Shifting the scene away from Thompson's Kirkuk Baba', Wilson's theory was fed fuel through the geological studies of the Kabir Kuh region in south-west Iran. As envisioned in The Rebel Lands- (Cambridge, 1979)- Mesopotamian deities owed their genesis to columns of burning gas which rose under pressure in a catastrophic event that resulted in the Saidmarreh landslip of the Kabir Kuh. As noted on page 9 of the above, the event is believed to have taken place in "about 9,500 BC." Needless to say, Wilson did not fail to fit Huwawa in his ...
562. The New Science of Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [Kronos]
... event that myth is an attempt to comprehend. It cannot ignore the commonality of that experience, for myth must satisfy not just one person or even a handful of people, but an entire tribe or culture. It must make sense of a problem or mystery in the common experience of a community of people. The first twelve chapters of Genesis, for instance, bear little resemblance to anything that is likely to have happened historically, except perhaps for the Deluge. Yet, this work attempts to answer fundamental questions-how the world began, how evil, suffering, murder, and the discord produced by language differences came about -in ways that speak meaningfully to the common existential concerns, ...
563. Thoth Vol II, No. 19: Nov 30, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... . The comparison at the level of specific details of myths of globally-dispersed cultures discloses identical characteristics and relationships. The evidence is massive and ubiquitous. The identities- where one would expect randomness- beg for explanation. There would seem to be only three possibilities: 1) An event experienced by all cultures: An original story. 2) A common genesis of all cultures: An original story-teller. 3) A rigid structure to human imagination- themes (but not narratives) "hardwired": An original story-telling. Difficulties with the second and third possibilities leave the first as the most likely. The many attempts to relate mythic themes to events of daily life have produced only a morass of ...

... with the celestial space immediately surrounding it. [Yet] no writer on comparative theology has ever brought out the facts which establish this assertion." In the following years a number of scholars, each focusing on different bodies of evidence, reached the same Conclusion. The controversial and erratic Gerald Massey, in two large works (The Natural Genesis and Ancient Egypt), claimed that the religion and mythology of a polar god was first formulated by the priest-astronomers of ancient Egypt and spread from Egypt to the rest of the world. In a general survey of ancient language, symbolism, and mythology, John O'Neill (Night of the Gods, two volumes) insisted that mankind's oldest ...
565. Astroblemes of the Earth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . Extensive mineral deposits have been discovered at sites on the rims of these features. Vsekhsviatskii, speaking about the origin of the Moon's craters, notes that "the magnificent achievements of the Apollo astronauts... leave no doubt that most of the processes affecting the surfaces of the planets were determined by endogenous forces." He favors eruptive genesis, because of the basaltic nature of the ejecta surrounding the Moon's craters. In our opinion, he is incorrect in attributing these eruptions to processes originating within the Moon (and the planets), but is correct in his observation that only local material is present. The same is true for Earth craters. Only rarely do large meteoroids ...
... the blue fence of mountains." He pursued them till they crouched on every hill-slope, he pursued them till they were swept into every river, and then he began to rule the Land. (Therefore the place where he overtook them was called ComeOvertake.) [n4 Wheeler, pp. 44f.] Later on, the "Genesis" part of the Nihongi will be shown to meet the requirements of archaic theory very exactly. Even incidents that seem like minor embellishments, the little mouse in her 172 burrow, are really recurrent elements in the ancient fugue. Because it is necessary to deal with one theme at a time, much of the tale of Susanowo appears ...
... pasture owing to the volcanic surroundings, and as late as Roman times the Simene (now Simon) dwelt in the west of Somerset. The name Gad or Cad may be recalled in connection with Hu Gadarn, the Cymric Ab,Ram, who traditionally first settled in Somerset. The land of Canaan lay in the south and according to Genesis was given to Ab'Ram by the Lord, and, as Sanchoniathon says, by Cronus to Taaut, or Thoth or Hermes. A passing allusion may be made here to the peculiarly Phoenician traces in Dorset, a name which recalls the territories of the tribe of Asher (also called Shur, later Syria), which bordered on " ...
568. The Reconstruction of Cosmic History [Journals] [Aeon]
... not merely opt for a body "of Martian dimensions," he opted outright for Mars as having been "the body in the north."(32) In this he was influenced by a theory proposed in 1969 by R. A. Lyttleton.(33) According to Lyttleton, Earth, Moon, and Mars owed their genesis to the fissioning of an earlier proto-planet. In this scenario, proto-Mars was presented as having escaped in a hyperbolic orbit while the proto-Moon was captured around what was to become the Earth. Diverging slightly from Lyttleton, Jueneman injected the theory with his own thoughts. As he stated: I rather suspect that at least one theoretical model would ...
569. The Origin and Decay of the Earth's Geomagnetic Field [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Earth's surface, though perhaps not in the oceans. Implication 2. The Earth is destined to have very little, if any, geomagnetic field similar to Venus and Mars, or perhaps even more negligible than that of Mercury. Implication 3. The Earth's geomagnetic field will have a death, as it must have had a birth, a genesis, or a "jumper cable" experience, a start-up. Implication 4. That "jumper cable" experience, or whatever it was, must have occurred considerably less than 50,000 B.C . Projecting the half life backward, assuming a uniformitarian Earth experience, the field strength would have exceeded 5000 Gauss as recently as ...
