... ascend on it to the sky and escort Re..." [28] That Horus bore an intimate connection with the celestial ladder is likewise confirmed by the god's epithet nb mak.t- "lord of the ladder." [29] Tales from the Watunna The Watunna is a compendium of the sacred traditions of the Makiritare Indians, a people living along the banks of the Orinoco river in what is now Venezuela. It tells of the various adventures of the heavenly ancestors in primordial times. Still living in the Stone Age, the Makiritare have remained virtually free of outside influence aside from the occasional visit from a Spanish explorer or anthropologist. Indeed, according to ...
402. The Nature and Origin of Comets and the Evolution of Celestial Bodies (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... observing the spiralling motion, it is impossible to tell whether the cometary magnetic field is caused by circulating charge on the comet nucleus or the current flow of the Sun's capacitor discharge, since the resultant magnetic force will be central in both cases for electrons in the spike and ions in the tail. Here the reader is referred to the American Indian rock paintings (Figure 1 ) and a similar drawing of the Great Comet of 1861 (Figure 2) and the spiked Comet Arend-Roland (Figure 3). These comets are not easily explained in the ice ball comet model (IBCM). (The topic of spiked comets will be discussed again.) Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure ...
403. My Challenge to Conventional Views in Science [Journals] [Pensee]
... circle around the Earth, the basic postulate of Newton's Principia; and did not Halley read in Pliny about comets returning on their orbits? Then why does modern science disregard the persistent reports of events witnessed and recorded in many languages in the writings of the ancients and also transmitted from generation to generation by communities unable to write, by American Indians, by the people of Lapland, the Voguls of Siberia, the aborigines of tropical Africa, the Tahitians in the South Pacific? Like the early memory of a single man, so the early memory of the human race belongs into the domain of the student of psychology. Only a philosophically and historically, but also analytically trained mind ...
404. The Year Of 360 Days, Part 2 Mars Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... . To the same effect wrote another German author: "The fact that a long period of time was necessary to arrive at the formulation of the 365-day year is proved by the existence of the old Hindu 360-day Savana-year and of other forms which appear in the Veda literature."6 Here is a passage from the Aryabhatiya, an old Indian work on mathematics and astronomy: "A year consists of twelve months. A month consists of 30 days. A day consists of 60 nadis. A nadi consists of 60 vinadikas."7 A month of thirty days and a year of 360 days formed the basis of early Hindu chronology used in historical computations. The Brahmans were ...
405. Astral Kingship [Journals] [Aeon]
... also a "self-creating" divinity (32) whose aspects and behavior are sometimes indistinguishable from Brahma. The name "Brahma" derives "from the Sanskrit brih or vrih, to break or bust forth' as a bird or sprout, and has therefore the sense of creation." (33) It has already been suggested that this Indian deity was affiliated with the planet Saturn. (34) It should in no way surprise us, then, to find that our present Sun had been later mistakenly substituted in religious pantheons for a different celestial body. (35) With this in mind, let us then return to a discussion of the divine parentage of Pharaoh with ...
406. Oberg's Unscientific Method [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... or journal is 20 years old; there are only [seven] scientific papers of any type cited from the past dozen years and few deal with the [M ]oon. It is not encouraging that some data is derived from sources as questionable as the Creation Research Society Quarterly (Note 86) or [the] Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy (Notes 102 and 103). A reasonable conclusion from these skewered selections of citations is either that the author is unaware of modern lunar science or worse, that he has read it and sees that it is utterly inconsistent with the thesis he went in trying to prove, so he ignored it.(8 ) ...
... , and yet to envy it to ourselves where it will be eternal! We, therefore, who have been brought up in a discipline of our own, ought to become an example to others of our readiness to die. Yet, if we do stand in need of foreigners to support us in this matter, let us regard those Indians who profess the exercise of philosophy; for these good men do but unwillingly undergo the time of life, and look upon it as a necessary servitude, and make haste to let their souls loose from their bodies; nay, when no misfortune presses them to it, nor drives them upon it, these have such a desire of ...
408. Interviewing Immanuel Velikovsky: An Introduction [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Exodus in different time periods in the 18th dynasty or the 19th dynasty, some even in the 20th dynasty. The other question would be, What kind of catastrophe was it? Was it a local catastrophe or did it occur in other places to the east or to the west? To the west, say, it affected the American Indians or Mayans; when you go to the east, you are in India or in China and you find the very same events differently described- so it is not just the transfer of ideas by word of mouth. It is differently described, but, actually, it is the same picture of global catastrophes: when the day is too ...
409. Fingerprints of the Gods: do ancient relicts point to an advanced civilisation 15,000 years ago? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... images like these appear to depict bearded Caucasian figures. The bearded figure (Fig. 9) is from the Olmec area and the facial features are quite distinctive. The beard is quite clearly demarcated. Now the problem is that these bearded figures are found in the very early archaeological strata. Whoever they are, they are clearly not American Indians, and we therefore have a conflict with the prevailing view of history which says that there was no contact between the Old World and the New until the time of Columbus. Of course they perhaps might be Phoenicians, people who drifted across the oceans in the period immediately before Christ. Orthdox archaeology does not accept that. I am ...

... . Jamshid . . . Thus Rawlinson in Athenaeum December 7, 1872."]. It has been seen already (p . 146) that Jamshyd is in Avestic Yima xsaeta, the name from which came Latin Saturnus. There is no question then, this is about Saturn/Kronos, the God of the Beginning, Yima (Indian Yama), the lord of the Golden Age. A lament over the passing of Kronos would have been in order even in Greece [n20 Cf. the report by Plutarch (Isis and Osiris 363E) on Egypt: There is also a religious lament sung over Cronus. The lament is for him that is born in the regions ...
