... in the sky and a wandering Sun, and attributes this to the unruly Typhon, whom Velikovsky identifies as the tail of the comet Venus,(7 ) while the Chinese complain that "The breath of heaven is out of harmony.... The four seasons do not observe their proper times."(8 ) The Oraibi Indians of Arizona and the Incas also remember a period of darkness during which alterations in the courses of the stars and planets disrupted the seasons and time,(9 ) while a passage from an ancient Taoist manuscript virtually echoes the words of Titania. The five planets leave their paths; the four seasons encroach one upon another; daylight is ...
512. Continental Tropism and Rafting [Books] [de Grazia books]
... functions as a tropism. It moves the continents not randomly, nor to the poles or the equator, nor to gather surviving animals for the Ark, but to repair and redress the lunagenic basin. Propelled by three rifts in all and with a blasted out area east of it, the exception to lunagenic tropism would appear to be the Indian subcontinent. India moved east faster than Africa. But since the continental world was moving generally south as well as east, why did India move north? Relatively Eurasia was moving south, and this is part of the suggested answer. Also India and Australia were simultaneously and together disconnected with a large land mass from Africa and Antarctica by ...
513. The Laughing Gods [Books] [de Grazia books]
... possess, too, with one of Zeus' satellites, an odd angular momentum. Like the Moon, it has suffered heavy bombardment from space. Called by different names in different cultures, he was represented often by various animals, especially by monkeys, in Egypt for instance, among the Gauls, and in India. Hanuman, the Indian monkey-god, once became as resplendent as the sun and moved whole mountains. The planet is suspected of having played a major role in the destruction of the Tower of Babel; there in Babylon it was called Nebo and emperors carried his name in theirs. A Jewish legend says that the survivors of the disaster and fire were turned into ...
514. Cuneiform Astronomical Records and Celestial Instability [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . ' The Battle of the Stars ends when the attacker is defeated, falling into the ocean and setting the entire earth on fire. Kugler explained these events by bringing to bear another prophecy of the same book of the Sibylline Oracles (line 206-13) where, after mentioning the same positions of the stars, warning is given to the Indians and the Ethiopians to beware of a coming great heavenly fire on earth and a new nature from the fighting stars, when the entire land of the Ethiopians will be destroyed in fire and wailing. ' The emphasis on Ethiopia is comprehensible when one considers that these texts were written in Lower Egypt. Kugler concluded that the details of the ...
515. Velikovsky and Catastrophism: A Hidden Agenda? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... One branch is held to be the origin of Greek, Italian, Celtic, Irish, Gaelic, Welsh and Cornish, plus Teutonic, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish and Old Norse, plus English and Dutch and German. The second is said to have produced the more exotic Aryan, Sanskrit, Zen, Old Persian and most of the Indian dialects, plus Armenian, Bulgarian, Russian, Czech, Polish and Balto-Slavonic. Not bad for one source, we must agree. The theory in its development incorporated the work of several British scholars but was thereafter mainly a German effort. The major names in the field, in alphabetical order, include Bartholomae, Benfey, Bopp, ...
516. Bob Forrest and Venus As A Comet In World Mythology [Books]
... the world, and the word comet itself comes from the Greek Kometes, the "long-haired" [star]. Yucatec Maya dictionaries, for example, give as a gloss for "smoke star" the "maned comet." (10) But curiously, Mesoamerican peoples used this very language to describe Venus. Thus, the Cuicatec Indians still describe Venus as "the star like a hairy beast." (11) To encounter the long-flowing locks of Venus, one need only consult available sources. Turn to the Incan word for Venus, for example. According to William Prescott, Venus was "known to the Peruvians by the name of Chasca, or the youth ...
517. Heracles and the Planet Mars [Journals] [Aeon]
... . (23) While a full investigation of the ancient traditions associated with the planet Saturn is beyond the scope of this essay, one motive is relevant here: the personification of Saturn as ruler of the netherworld. The Greek Kronos, ruling over the Elysian Fields, is a prime example of such a figure. (24) The Indian Hades was Yama, who finds a counterpart in the Iranian Yima, resident of a wondrous celestial enclosure. (25) Indo-European scholars have established that Yama/Yima was identified with the planet Saturn although they have been unable to explain the connection between this planet and archaic traditions of the netherworld. A curious conception, reflected in the ...
518. A Chronological Note on the Kassites [Journals] [Aeon]
... a foreign cuneiform script and were represented as heard by Babylonian or Babylonian-trained scribes. "( 19) The very early Kassites from the Old-Babylonian period (1700 BCE) as well as the very late ones from the end of the Persian and the beginning of the Greek period (fourth century BCE) even seem to have worshipped "Greek or Indian deities."(20) Thus some 12,000 cuneiform documents which belong to the Kassites, are not written in Kassite but in Sumerian and Akkadian.(21) The only ancient city up to now considered a true Kassite foundation, the above mentioned Dur-Kurigalzu, not only yielded Sumerian texts but also temples "dedicated to the ...

520. Forum Part Two [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the beginning of historical consciousness among the ancient nations emerged with a delay of 1500 years. In my view, it is no coincidence that at this time, between 600 to 500 BC, all major world religions, scientific thought and rationalism began to emerge, that Zarathustra preached his new theology in Persia at the same time as Buddha reformed Indian religions and Confucius and Lao-tse taught in China. It is this same period when the Jewish prophets eventually succeeded in establishing monotheism, Roman civilisation emerged and the first Greek poets and philosophers developed what was to become European enlightenment [17]. Historically and culturally, this is by far the most crucial period of human history, since all ...
