... separated layers. ' [16] The discoveries of modern archaeology seem to be more or less in accordance with the number of destructions handed down in texts of antiquity. Plato knew of a tremendous inundation as the third' [17] before the Deluge of Deucalion which altogether adds up to four major catastrophes in the Bronze Age. The Indians of Mesoamerica remembered four ages' or four suns' before today's sun (i .e . the Iron Age) [18]. Much as the dissenting scholars have done to relieve us from apocalyptic fear [19], it appears to be only secondary to the spirit conveyed by the best read book of all times. In ...
522. The Periodic Cyclicism Of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... is 4 inches. The subcrustal tide is a restrained tide, restrained by the 10-or 15-mile thick crust. The oceans feature unrestrained tides. Ocean water at the equator is advancing at 1,000+ mph, due to centrifugal force. If Mars passed over the Earth with its subpoint path over North India and Tibet, waters from the Indian Ocean, 24% of the Earth's water, suddenly would have been pulled first northeasterly as Mars approached for 2 to 3 hours, then directly north during a few minutes of perigee, and then northwesterly for another 2 or 3 hours. Mars approached the Earth and retreated at a speed slightly above 30,000 mph. 64 VELIKOVSKIAN ...
523. Velikovsky and Racial Memory [Journals] [Aeon]
... early Greeks, in Freud's words, (4 ) had probably experienced in their prehistory a period of external brilliance and cultural efflorescence which had perished in a historical catastrophe and of which an obscure tradition survived. He predicted, however, that scientists would eventually be able to verify the same factors underlying the national epics of the Germans, the Indians, the Finns, and (by implication) the Jews, and that these factors would indicate a piece of prehistory which, immediately after it, would have been bound to appear rich in content, important, splendid, and always, perhaps, heroic, but which lies so far back, in such remote times, that only ...
524. The Beginning of Time [Journals] [Aeon]
... both rendered Kala. But also: It should be stressed that the disinclination of philologists to allow for the "essential" connection of Chronos and Kronos rests upon the stern belief that the "god" Saturn has nothing to do with the planet Saturn, and upon the supposition that an expert in classical philology has nothing whatever to learn from Indian texts. Were it not so, they might have stumbled over Kala, i.e ., Chronos, as a name of Yama, i.e ., Kronos, alias the planet Saturn. (13) That Time (Kala) was a name of Yama can also be learned from Burgess; (14) that ...
525. Morning Star II [Journals] [Aeon]
... been discovered at Zinjirli, Hazor, Carthage, and elsewhere. (48) The Egyptians represented the planet Saturn as a bull-headed human with crescent horns, (49) while a votive stele from Ain Tunga, in Tunis, depicts the Roman Saturnus surmounted by a crescent. (50) Also, one of eight astrological illustrations in an Indian temple depicts the planet Saturn, riding in a one-wheeled chariot, within the cusps of a bright white crescent. (51) Mythologists have not asked why Saturn was associated with a crescent, let alone answered the question. As the son of Shahar, Helel/Mars was not merely the son of Dawn but the offspring of the ...
526. Karl Popper and Evolutionary Theory (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Peter J. James in his review of Ever Since Darwin (KRONOS VII:4 , pp. 26-27). - LMG] ON POLAR SHIFTS AND THE METEOR SHOWER OF -687 In a note following my "Postscript" (KRONOS VII:3 , p. 88), Lynn E. Rose maintains that if Velikovsky had seen an Indian celestial chart "that put the celestial equator within a few degrees of the zenith of, say, Calcutta, that would have been more than sufficient for his purposes", namely to place the former terrestrial north pole near Baffin Island. But a chart with such a notation would tell us only the latitude of the city, and ...
527. The Saturn Thesis (Part 4) [Journals] [Aeon]
... when displaced somewhat from its central position- and "sweeping" or "clearing" the sky as it churned visually around the polar center, with the rotation of the Earth. Inseparably connected to the idea of radiating "feathers" is the ancient image of a goddess displaying a "fan." In Egyptian, Greek, Iranian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese and other eastern cultures, the fan possesses an enigmatic significance in relation to power (life-strength, authority, charisma, protection), and this significance has never been explained. On its own, the inconspicuous symbol does not suggest any of its symbolic connotations, except in the feeble sense that we associate the fan ...

... (each of us) like half a shell." Therefore the void which was there, is filled by the wife. ' " (58). [* Speculative treatises (c . 600 B.C .) concerned chiefly with a mystical interpretation of Vedic ritual and its relationship to man and the universe (see Sources of Indian Tradition, N. Y., 1959). - LMG] (A comparison to Eve as formed from Adam's rib would be obvious, but misleading. Adam undergoes no appreciable physical change, and does not miss his rib at all. The splitting of the Atman is more into equal parts. So it is with the Platonic ...
529. Book Review/Thorne [Journals] [Aeon]
... calculations engendered. Although both Einstein and Eddington embraced Schwarzschild's mathematics, the extension to encompass black holes strained their credulity. Einstein quietly ignored it, but Eddington made fun of the idea and heavily criticized any and all who dared to contradict his outright dismissal of dark stars. It would be pretentious of me to attempt a retrospective on the late Indian theoretician Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. Having emigrated from Madras in 1930, somewhat too late to get in on the ground floor of wave mechanics, Chandrasekhar did his graduate study at Cambridge and shortly found himself at theoretical odds with the highly critical Eddington over dark stars. But on that voyage to England, the 19-year-old Chandrasekhar began meshing the principles of ...
530. Problems of Early Anatolian History Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... .12 The Indo-Europeans who influenced the Mitannian language apparently did not come from Europe but from southern Russia by way of the Caucasus area, and their language was from the "Satem" or eastern wing of the Indo-European family.13 It should also be noted that these Indo-Europeans were more lndic than Mede or Persian, their names reflecting certain Indian gods, like Shiva for example. Velikovsky claims that the Mitannians were actually the early Medes, since his chronological revisions bring the two peoples together in time and also because Matiene or Mantiane was the name of a lake and a province of Media during the Classical period.14 Hewsen attempts to connect the names of the kings of the ...
