473. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... deprived of their arms, the troops fled in panic. [Velikovsky also drew attention to the neglected fact that both versions - in the Scriptures and in Herodotus - include a story of a disturbance (reversal) of the sun's movement in immediate sequence with the above narratives.] [In a chapter dealing with the folklore of the American Indians, Velikovsky relates a tale preserved by the Mnemoni tribe of the Algonquin nation. The sun had been caught in a noose and restrained from proceeding on its path:] . '. .The Mouse came up and gnawed at the string...the Sun breathed again and the darkness disappeared.

474. The Riddle of the Earth [Books]
... it not a clear inference that they came there in exactly the same way as the minor examples cited? Do not Etna and Vesuvius, the Peak of Teneriffe, the great cluster of terrible volcanoes in Iceland, Stromboli, Ischia Island, Bandaisan and Fujlyama in Japan, and literally hundreds of other volcanic cones in the Atlantic and Pacific and Indian Oceans, owe their existence to exactly the same cause? It is true that we know of no records of any volcanic mountains created within the historical age to equal Etna or even Stromboll in size, for though it might be said that the creation of Jorullo was a modern example of a considerable erection, when millions of tons of ...

476. The Great Comet Venus [Journals] [Aeon]
... world catastrophes. "The most ancient of these fragments [katuns, or calendar stones of Yucatan] refer, in general, to great catastrophes which, at intervals and repeatedly, convulsed the American continent, and of which all nations of this continent have preserved a more or less distinct memory." (151) Codices of Mexico and Indian authors who composed the annals of their past give a prominent place to the tradition of world catastrophes that decimated humankind and changed the face of the earth. In the chronicles of the Mexican kingdom it is said: "The ancients knew that before the present sky and earth were formed, man was already created and life had manifested itself ...
477. The Knowledge Industry [Books] [de Grazia books]
... The logic was simple: a small saving enabled thirty letters to be sent out, thirty letters might elicit a couple of orders. Deg and Aim moved into a dingy little brick house on an old street of Trenton, in a neighborhood that sociologists call by the menacing term "marginal." Publishing in India was becoming costly. The Indian rupee which should have lost its international value, maintained itself steadily against the dollar, letting India pay its debts at a loss of export, but then it exported little anyhow. Nevertheless, Deg let himself in for a third round with Indian printers, sending off in early 1982 the bulky manuscript of The Lately Tortured Earth. He ...
