... looked upon; but not so at the time of its origin. It is precisely in this that Sutherland missed one of his cues; for the mythology of the Chinese dragon shows him in close association with the very celestial body which caused the cataclysms so well described by Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision. Chinese Mythology In Chinese lore, a horned monster, Kung Kung, lost a battle for power with one of the five ancient kings. Because of this, he flew into a rage and flung himself at Mount Pu Chou which, like the original Olympus of the Greeks, was a mythological analogy for the sky.(8 ) Then "the column of the sky was ...
232. Cuneiform Astronomical Records and Celestial Instability [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . He used the term sun-like meteor' which sounds strange except to those who are familiar with ancient terminology. Aristotle, in order to defend the immutability of the heavens, distinguishes astronomy from meteorology and defines the latter as the study of the appearance in the sky of burning flames and of shooting stars and of what some call torches and horns' (Meteor. I 341 B). It is significant that, after having described the general topic of meteorology, Aristotle begins the treatment of it by refuting those who say that the comet is one of the planets' (342 B). Gundel's criticism is not justified, because even though it is clear from Kugler's explanation ...
233. Scientific Evidence for A Major World Catastrophe About 11,500 Years Ago: A Preliminary Selection [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Equator) Ocean floor areas from which ferromanganese nodules have been reported. Each dot represents a separate locality, not an individual nodule. It should be noted that many areas have yet to be searched for nodules, the expectation being that the final number of nodule-yielding localities will be appreciably higher than shown here. (Compiled from Berger, Horn and other sources.) Manganese Nodules Covering great swathes of the world's land areas is a surface formation known as the loess. It is especially prominent in parts of China and North America, locally attaining impressive thicknesses. Explanations of its origin have ranged from the aeolian (wind-blown) to the aqueous (water-borne). For present purposes ...

... have moved much from its original position in Africa. The ridges along its south-western and south-eastern borders are due to EGRR. e). South America As mentioned above, Walvis Ridge and Santos Plateau were together in Pangaea. (Rio Grande Rise may be an in-between block [layer] of Santos Plateau). The U-shaped nematath from Cape Horn to the South Shetland Islands, about 3200 miles in total length, must be fitted back along Antarctica to the nemataths outward from Queen Maud Land to put the Antarctic peninsula directly west across South America from the lowest point in South America'. To accomplish this, South America had to move north about 1000 miles and west at its ...
235. A Brief Summary of the Evidence for a Gap in the Bible and Much Earlier Dates for Many of its Major Events [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of Shechem). The vivid description of Jericho's walls falling outward finds archaeological support at thisperiod only. These tombs are not far from Mamre, the ancestral burying grounds of Abraham and his descendants. The Hebrews also carried bones or bodies back to burying places (e .g . those of Joseph and Jacob). The ritualized blowing of horns to mimic the noise thatprecedes an earthquake indicates a ceremony possibly performed for years at the site where the mighty walls fell. Note: These three events in conjunction might tentatively be used as an anchor by which to assess parallels between the history of the West Semites (a Hebrew.speaking people) and the historical traditions preserved in the ...
236. Metamorphic Evolution [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... to the cells of the organism via the RNA, there seemed to be no way to convey messages from the cell to it. Since DNA was constantly changing, How, then, was an organism maintained in its stable structure and physiology? Taylor asks. "Hipparion may evolve into the modern horse, but it does not suddenly grow horns or turn into a rhinoceros. It was clear that the genetic code itself had long remained unchanged since the beginning of the story, for DNA from advanced species inserted into cells from primitive forms, continued to work normally. DNA can even be transferred from animals to plants in some circumstances and carry out its duties. Sequencing of DNA ...
237. Neo-Babylonians and Achaemenids [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... though they honour Zoroaster and the monotheistic religion of Achaemenid times. But Cyrus is not identified with this noble faith: he is rather identified with the Macedonian destroyers of Iran and her culture; with Alexander no less. One of Islam's holy books incorrectly links Alexander with Cyrus. We are told; "Alexander had a hairstyle curved like two horns, as did Cyrus. In Daniel 8:21 [we read]: and he came to the ram with two horns'. The last word in Hebrew is Karanaim': krnym. In Arabic it is Zialgharein or Zelgarne or Zelranain … Many Arab and Persian scholars have referred to Zelranain as Alexander who destroyed Persian and Indian ...
238. The Catastrophic Substructure of Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... .8 .38-39. The false hope does not last long, for in the next battle Antony's forces are soundly defeated, and it appears that Cleopatra has betrayed him truly this time. Antony is driven into uncontrollable anger and compares himself to Hercules, who, near death through a poisoned garment, hurls the bearer of it on the horns o' th' moon, 4.12.45. We remember how Dr. Velikovsky showed that many myths of divine and sometimes horned animals scourging the earth are symbols of the catastrophic tempests,(3a) and so it is with the falling Antony, who Cleopatra says is more mad Than Telamon for his shield; the ...

... prevalent in the sky . . . they inspired great terror since man was conscious of the disasters they caused."[16] After Ilech another warrior arrives, looking like fire and water mingled: "Like the sea against a stream he comes, a fiery blaze, in irresistible fury against his foes, Furbaide Fer Benn, the horned man."[l7] Finally, Medb's herald reports the march of the army, again in language which suggests rather a commotion in the heavens:[18] "I looked a second time," Mac Roth said. "I studied the plain before me and saw a dense fog filling the valleys and hollows, so ...
240. When The Comet Fell Ch.11 (The Riddle of the Earth) [Books]
... , taking a line first, say, from the Marquesas Island, New Hebrides, North Island, New Zealand and the New Zealand Ridge, the Marshall Island, the Malay Peninsula, and perhaps Sumatra, with the Sierra Nevada and Sierra Madre Mountains of North America, the North Pole at that time resting at a point somewhere between Cape Horn and the Antarctic Circle. If this be the case the group represented by Tahiti, a few degrees to the south-west and north-west, would be subsequent to those lands mentioned. In the vicissitudes of time Tahiti, like most of the Lemurian lands, has gradually moved from the north to the south. It is even probable that Tahiti ...
