... on the part of the ancient Egyptians, we also find Ra .. . being lauded as he "who dost lie without movement."(44) So again I will ask: If Ra was the Sun, as mythologists would have us believe, why was it said to have been without movement? Thus, when the Makiritare Indians of Venezuela speak of Wanadi, a celestial being "in the highest sky" who "lit everything down to the very bottom" without ever setting, we can be sure that they are referring to the same planet Saturn. "Wanadi is like a sun that never sets," they say.(45) That Wanadi was ...
372. James P. Hogan's Cradle Of Saturn (Book Review) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , but in legends handed down by the people's of Iceland, Greenland, and India; from the islands of Polynesia to the steppes of Siberia; and places as far apart as Japan and Mexico, China and Peru. The accounts of shrieking hurricanes scouring the Earth and tides piling into mountains read the same in the Persian Avesta, the Indian Vedas, and the CRADLE OF SATURN Ginenthal 3 Mayan Troano as in Exodus, and were similarly narrated by the Maori, the Indonesian, the Laplander, and the Choctaw. And finally, the titanic electrical discharges between the comet's head and parts of its deformed, writhing tail became clashes of celestial deities depicted virtually identically whether as the ...
373. The Age of Reason: Some Insights [Journals] [Kronos]
... 1756-1763), but the criticism is directed not only against war, militarism, religious intolerance, dogmatism, but further against all political institutions (France, England, Turkish Empire) and even international law (according to which the actions of the Bulgarians are perfectly regular). Even the Jesuits of Paraguay, who had tried to protect the Indians from Spanish colonial exploitation by organizing them in communistic communities, are thoroughly condemned. The great belief of the Enlightenment, that a good or perfect society should be organized by reforming existing institutions, is made to appear ridiculous, although perhaps all that Voltaire wanted to do was to present the history of his century as the theater of the ...
374. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... and Aztec civilisations could only be explained by assuming that the entire populace, both rulers me ruled, must have been stark raving bonkers. We know that they were also very fine mathematicians, but that is neither here nor there. Of course we have seen something like that in Europe this century, but in the case of the American Indians, something pretty terrific must have happened to send them all round the bend permanently. It is also worthy of note that all the known dates of the Greek migrations from one end of the Mediterranean to the other are found to be after 750 B.C . According to the theory of the "Greek Dark Ages", from ...
375. Flavius Josephus Against Apion Book 1 [Books]
... , we meet with a confirmation of what Berosus says in the archives of the Phoenicians, concerning this king Nabuchodonosor, that he conquered all Syria and Phoenicia; in which case Philostratus agrees with the others in that history which he composed, where he mentions the siege of Tyre; as does Megasthenes also, in the fourth book of his Indian History, wherein he pretends to prove that the forementioned king of the Babylonians was superior to Hercules in strength and the greatness of his exploits; for he says that he conquered a great part of Libya, and conquered Iberia also. Now as to what I have said before about the temple at Jerusalem, that it was fought against ...

... turns the ground upside down," large areas "crack and are thrown upwards," "all the mansions on earth" are destroyed in a catastrophe when "worlds clash with worlds."(5 ) The Mexican Annals of Cuauhtitlan describe how a cosmic catastrophe was accompanied by a hail of stones; in the oral tradition of the Indians, too, the motif is repeated time and time again: In some ancient epoch the sky "rained, not water, but fire and red-hot stones,"(6 ) which is not different from the Hebrew tradition. 1.

... spanned billions of years. Glaciers take thousands of years to form. And "most of Velikovsky's examples' [of catastrophes] are... local events combined with an unwarranted extrapolation to global impact". (Only "most"?) The African rift is merely a junction between two crustal plates; the Himalayas rose when the Indian plate slowly pushed into Asia; the ring of Pacific volcanoes mark the boundary between two plates, they have nothing to do with an axial displacement The fossil corals in polar regions, the coal in Antarctica, the Permian glaciation in South America are easily explained: "the continents have only to drift from different climatic realms into their present ...
