... (New York, 1938), p. 49- several distinguished scholars have pointed to a comet as the source of Homer's imagery. See the discussion in W. Gundel, "Kometen," RE, op cit., p. 1145. See also the discussion of this passage in B. Dietrich, "Divine Epiphanies in Homer," Numen 30:1 (July 1983), p. 56 who translates as follows: "Like a comet which the son of Kronos, crooked in counsel, sends in a shower of sparks as a shining portent to sailors and the widespread army of peoples." Velikovsky, op cit, p. 178, and ...
373. Freud and Velikovsky Part II [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Evian, managed the Arab atrocities in Palestine from 1928 to 1948, and successfully concealed from the world the Astor, Churchill, and Warburg bonds with the continental brutalitarians. None are so blind as our sons who will not see, for fear of losing their links with the fetish worshipers. The brilliant classical scholar Victor Berard asserted that the Homeric Odyssey had been grounded by the epic poet (or poetess) on sea lore from the Phoenicians- more accurately, the Canaanites. He jocularly described the phalanx of critics who attacked his evidence as "superior anti-Semitic" academicians. They revolted against every proof that Greek civilization, and consequently that of Rome and all Europe afterward, owed ...
374. The Scars of Mars Part II [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... 12 x 14 x 17. Not only Mars has captured two asteroid-like satellites. Jupiter has directly captured another eight. [12] And in addition, Jupiter's immense gravity has so influenced the asteroids as to have gathered two clusters of them into parallel orbits. These are named the "Trojan" asteroids after mythology relating to Mars coming from Homer and the Trojan War, around 864 B.C . The Trojans are about a dozen asteroids which have assumed two strange orbits in our solar system. One group is at 2/3 and the other is at 3/4 of the orbital period of Jupiter. For each group the positions of the Trojans in their orbits always ...
... hydrocarbons.15 Velikovsky answered Sagan and said, "Are there any hydrocarbons, or other organic molecules still present on Venus?" "After the first American fly-by probe, Mariner 11 passed its rendezvous point with Venus in December 1962, the results were first made public in February 1963, and it was claimed by NASA spokesman Dr. Homer Newell, that the clouds on Venus are rich in hydrocarbons. I have repeatedly read in polemic surrounding my work that this statement at the press conference was a mistake seized upon by the followers of my concepts. It was not a press conference mistake. ' The conclusion was based upon very careful consideration of the physical characteristics of the ...
376. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... infected black rats through trade with India. Black rats live in closer contact with humans so plague could then jump to humans when cities appeared around 3500 BC. Both species of rats have been found together in archaeological digs from around the right time and the human flea vector has been found at Amarna in Egypt from the 14th century BC. Homeric Puzzle (Erwin Cook, American Journal of Archaeology 108:1 , 2004, pp. 43-77) At present, the conventional thought is that Homer's epics were orally transmitted for 4-5 centuries before they were written down. However, the palace of Alkinoos, from the 7th book of The Odyssey, is a problem for archaeologists since the ...
377. The Origin and Decay of the Earth's Geomagnetic Field [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... That flux tube will have a brightness of about 40,000 Rayleighs. The Mars-Earth Case In ancient times, our theory maintains that a flux tube developed an aurora of current between Mars and Earth when Mars approached within 125,000 miles. It became brighter and blotchier, spitting sparks, as it were- cosmic "fireworks." Homer described it in the Iliad as "the silver bowstring of Apollo Shootafar." (Apollo, like Baal, was Mars, and in fact "Apollo" is a Hellenized form of the word "Baal.") The prophet Gad and King David described this ancient flux tube during the 972 B.C . late-October flyby. ...

... advent of Alexander the Great, lost Herodotus' and later Greek historians' dates ( -1150 to -330) because at that time, Jewish and Christian chronographers established what today is called comparative world history. It began with the comparative history of Greeks and Jews. This comparison, focused on the question, if Moses was more ancient than Homer. The basis to decide this contest was written material (Bible and Iliad) whose chronological correctness was taken for granted. Stratigraphical research to check the dates of Bible and Iliad was not yet on the minds of authors. Since biblical dates were simply higher than the Greek ones, the latter had to give way to a much longer ...
379. Stephen Jay Gould and Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... Velikovsky supports' not the Bible, but the general idea that some myths of all peoples are based on historical events. In other words, this group of readers did not get the message The Bible is true' but rather a different message Some myths contain some truth. ' This is hardly unthinkable; since the excavation of Troy, Homer is now recognized as containing some truth- sombunall [some but not all] . . . . ". . . To proceed from'[s ]omething like Noah's flood once happened' to the whole Bible is true' is not very logical, and I can't find anything, like it in any book of Velikovsky's that I've ...
380. The Jupiter Order [Books] [de Grazia books]
... six hundred thousand years (Gold, 1965). The state of astronomical and geological time-reckoning is such that six thousand may be read in place of the longer time (de Grazia, 1981, ch. 3). Jupiter, like his father and grandfather, became a kind of deus otiosus, already majestic and less active in the Homeric Wars of Troy. There was no longer a close presence; philosophy and literature might usurp the regions of near space with abstract principles and metaphors. But among scientists, today, Jupiter has suddenly recovered some of his legendary features. Astronomers for some time have considered this planet to be a dark star (Newcombe). That it ...
