... , then rushed hissing against the goddess, checking with the bridle her bulls' white yoke-straps, while he poured out the mortal whistle of a poison spitting viper." But Titan Mene would not yield to the attack. Battling against the Giant's heads, like-horned to hers, she carved many a scar on the shining orb of her bull's horn; and Selene's radiant cattle bellowed amazed at the gaping chasm of Typhon's throat." [1 ] The fable bespeaks cosmic cyclones, where earthly and celestial effects are simultaneously visible and apparently connected by an uncontrolled raging dragon-god. THE INNOCENT ASTRONAUTS The Moon, as a round rock in the sky, was a manifestation of the Goddess Aphrodite ...
142. A Reviewer At The Stake. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents A Reviewer At The Stake IN THE CELESTIAL judgment hall the reviewer was called before the throne and told: "All that the author hath is in thy power; only do not change his words." This is the only protection left to authors against their reviewers. Nails and teeth or hooves and horns the reviewer may use against the author, but he is not allowed to change the author's words. The author usually does not claim infallibility, and by publishing a book, he ties himself to the stake, to receive as many blows as his judge-executioner may see fit to deliver according to his own temper. If the judge himself ...
143. Geomagnetic Effects of an Earthwide Event in 2300BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the atom bomb Carbon-14 in the atmosphere .. . It thus seems that in this instance at least we are observing a rather abrupt event'. The radiocarbon level transient has also received support from Burleigh and Hewson [43], who report unusual evidence for a short term dating variance at about 2300 BC, based on measurements on antler horns used as mining tools. The dating variance was apparently due to a fairly sudden change in atmospheric radiocarbon level, discovered by a team of archaeologists excavating Neolithic flint mines in Britain. The tools used by the miners were red deer antler horns grown and shed each year by the animals. The antler horns apparently were suitable for tools only ...
144. From Myth to a Physical Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... developing the thesis of the polar configuration- before I had presented the idea to anyone- there was a point at which the idea occurred to me of an illuminated crescent or half-circle of light revolving around a stationary god. It was not a single mythical theme that produced the idea but a series of interconnected images- revolving ships, revolving horns, horned peaks, outstretched arms and outstretched wings, all presented in alternating positions around a central figure, with a distinctive relationship to an apparent celestial column, and in explicit association with a cycle of day and night. The specific form I believed to be latent in the wide-ranging mythical images was this- If the crescent was produced ...
145. Indra's Theft of the Sun-God's Wheel [Journals] [Aeon]
... for this recurring theme? If we take as our point of reference the polar configuration associated with Saturn a solution to this intriguing problem is near at hand. (176) As Talbott has documented, the pillar associated with the ancient sun-god was frequently given a Y-like shape, as in figure seven. (177) Variously envisaged as the horns of a celestial bull, the ship of heaven, or the upraised arms of the warrior-hero, the crescentine-shape at the apex of the World Pillar was formed, apparently, as the lowermost portion of Saturn was illuminated by the reflected light of the Sun. (178) As the reader will recognize, all that is necessary in order ...
... the procedure of volcanic eruptions or earthquakes or both. COMETARY IMPACT PRESERVED IN MYTHS AND TRADITIONS 145.Before closing this chapter it is useful to revert once more to the ancient views on cometary impact as evidenced in the Phaeton myth, and Osiris and Typhon or Set, and the red dragon or Satan of Revelation with seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. The Phaeton myth, as was stated, was believed to be identical with the Flood of Deucalion, and the great star Sirius was thought in some way to be connected traditionally with it. It is most probable that the " Sun" which the Egyptians worshipped as the Seat of God was no other than ...
147. Commemoration Of The 2300bc Event [Journals] [SIS Review]
... extinguished. On the first morning of the New Year, as the first rays of the sun fell upon the altar, the new sacred flame was kindled. From this sacred flame, fires were carried into all the homes for kindling new hearth-fires [101]. An intriguing aspect of the festival was the blowing of the shofar or ram's horn. Finesinger has associated the shofar with fear. He feels that in some instances it could have been used to frighten away evil spirits or powers. In some traditions, flutes, lights and blasts from the ram's horn took place at night - specifically, the ram's horn was blown just before dawn [102]. Since the most ...
... Cicero's De divinatione (1 .22) and taken from a lost tragedy on Brutus by Accius, an early Roman poet. Says Tarquin: "My dream was that shepherds drove up a herd and offered me two beautiful rams issued of the same mother. I sacrificed the best of the two, but the other charged me with its horns. As I was lying on the ground, gravely wounded, and looked up at heaven, I saw a great portent: the flaming orb of the sun coming from the right, took a new course and melted." Well may the Etruscan soothsayers have been exercised about the rams and the changed course of the sun in the ...
149. The Wayward Sun [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . The hot stars down from the heavens are whirled. . . "40 The overwhelming anxiety that earthquakes might foreshadow a worldwide flood was suffered not just by those who dwelled on the lip of the ocean. The Mari, who still occupy the land west of the Volga River in Russia, believed that the earth was supported on one horn (the other had broken before the Great Flood) of a massive bull. The bull, in turn, balanced precariously on the back of a giant crab, which crouched on the ocean floor. Any movement of the bull's head was thought to cause earthquakes. The Mari lived in terror that the bull's remaining horn would snap, ...
150. Hatshepsut and the Queen of Sheba: A Critique of Velikovsky's Identification and an Alternative View [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ) that Diodorus (II, 50-1) refers to the "camel-leopard" occurring on the border of Arabia and Syria, this being the normal classical term for the giraffe; also that the Septuagint and Jerome translate zemer in Deuteronomy 14:5 as "camel-leopard". The rhinoceros is ambiguous evidence for Punt's location. It has only one horn, and so resembles the Asiatic species Rhinoceros unicornis rather than either of the two African species, Diceros bicornis and Diceros simus, both of which have two horns. However, there are examples of Egyptian hieroglyphs in the form of a rhinoceros, and these show a single horn (L . Störk: Die Nashörner, Verlag Borg GmbH ...
