... . But worst of all, perhaps, is the misstatement of Velikovsky's reasoning (inevitable, it seems, in a relatively brief, popular presentation) in such a way as to render it highly objectionable to an informed and critical listener. In explaining why Velikovsky believes the moon's surface to have been recently molten, the narrator says, "Homer tells us that the Greek goddess of the moon was warned not to battle with Mars but to leave this task to Earth, being herself destined to the sweet work of love. But the goddess, the Iliad tells us, was smote on the breast and her heart melted." No mention of the conversion of motion to heat ...

See Appollodorus ii, 10,2 ; Homeric Hymn to Hermes 1-543. The Great Sphinx at Giza, as Graham Hancock and others have suggested, predates the time of Cheops and Chepren. The water-erosion on its back was put there during the Early Dynastic Age, when Egypt's climate was much wetter. The Sahara was then a vast savannah. The original face of the Sphinx would ...

This last announcement was made by Dr. Homer Newell for NASA in February, 1963. The presence of hydrocarbons in the clouds surrounding Venus was also announced as confirmed- this on the basis of the work of Dr. L. D.

... that Shishak is the same person as Thutmose III. d) The invasion of Egypt by the Hyksos took place after the Exodus, not before. e) Current Greek chronology must be shortened by about five hundred years, eliminating what today we call the Greek Dark Ages. According to Newton, the Trojan War took place one generation before Homer. It is rather bizarre that Newton used this chronological scheme in order to dismiss the evidence for the occurrence of past cometary impacts. It seems that he built his chronology when he was still in agreement with Whiston and used it later for a different purpose. The new scheme of chronology is used by Newton in order to justify more ...
