... ask: Why should a festival return once in eight years or four years if nothing in the agricultural life of peoples is tied up with these periods? In Mexico, too, according to an early authority, Bernardino de Sahagun, "every eight years these natives celebrated a feast which they called Atamalqualiztli" (54). Among American Indians festivities connected with the heliacal rising of Venus have continued down to our times, and their description indicates that many rites observed among the Mayas celebrating the heliacal appearance of Venus have survived unchanged (55). The eight, later the four, year period of the festivals had the same origin in Mexico, in Greece, and in ...
642. Quantalism And Prehistory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... them a comparable to the marginal erosion and sedimentation observable today. Despite the split between man and beast mentioned earlier, both prehistoric and contemporary preliterate humanity have shown a persistent preoccupation with the animal world, ranging from the propitiatory, bear-skull circles of Neanderthal Man through the pictorial menagerie of Upper Paleolithic cave-walls, to the totemistic genealogies of Native American Indians. In the realm of traditional narrative, all folk-tales and most myths include stories about animals. It does not surprise archaeologists and ethnologists to find petroglyphs and folklore concerning predatory animals, like lions, or prey animals, like deer. But it has long puzzled them that the animal most frequently depicted, both visually and verbally, is ...
643. Thoth Vol III, No. 2: Jan 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... in point, identified by the ancients with the Latin god Mars and sharing a root in common with Rudra. It is also noteworthy that Rudra's darts are specifically associated with the death of cattle, the very calamity associated with Martian meteorites in Babylonian omens. Indeed, Rudra's intimate association with the destruction of cattle was proverbial in Vedic and later Indian tradition. How are we to interpret Rudra's involvement with the death of cattle? Although it is probable that much of the bovine imagery associated with the escapades of Rudra/Mars is celestial in nature - witness the universality of the Bull of Heaven motive- it is not impossible that Martian meteorites actually discomfited terrestrial cattle. Support for this ...
644. Sagan's Pseudo-sagacity: Style As A Reflection Of Character (Or The Lack Thereof) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of English, a critic might argue that I'm naturally biased. I'm not alone, however, in my assertion of the superiority of English. The great Danish linguist Otto Jesperson, who wrote that of all the languages he spoke (and he spoke a lot of them, including all the major European languages and many off-beat tongues like Cherokee Indian and Malay), English was his favorite. (His book the Growth and Structure of the English Language was a standard text in American universities for many years.) Jesperson was quick to note that English, like all languages, has its shortcomings. Its spelling is atrocious. The who-whom distinction is as silly as the old thee-thou ...

... to have been inside the boundary ditch at Durrington (where only about 1/20th of the enclosed area has been explored). These buildings must surely be temples or palaces- or a combination of the two- and the excavator of Durrington drew attention to the similarities in design and apparent function with the great round wooden council houses of the Creek Indians at the Irene Mound site in Georgia. Thom's spectacular discoveries about the astronomical and geometrical expertise available in highland Britain at this time must imply the existence of a trained class of priest astronomers, and the place for these to be trained could well have been Salisbury Plain, where the greatest ceremonial sites known- Stonehenge and Avebury- are located. ...
647. Velikovsky And Cultural Amnesia [Journals] [Pensee]
... extraterrestrial jostling; biospheric poisoning; atomic weaponry overkill; overpopulation; or whether the person has experienced the disintegration of his world view by chemical inducement- a magical mushroom or the fabled LSD- the result is the awakening of consciousness, the veil of amnesia has been lifted." This heightening of sensitivity and humanity Doran compared to that of the Hopi Indians, whose world view is conditioned down to the smallest detail of ritual and prayer by their culturally transmitted memories of repeated migration at times of world destruction. Velikovsky's work, in this context, becomes properly a paradigm provided for the specifically western consciousness, which seems to demand the authority of scientifically established proof before it will be convinced of ...

... two horns, as did Cyrus. In Daniel 8:21 [we read]: and he came to the ram with two horns'. The last word in Hebrew is Karanaim': krnym. In Arabic it is Zialgharein or Zelgarne or Zelranain … Many Arab and Persian scholars have referred to Zelranain as Alexander who destroyed Persian and Indian culture."(11) 102 VELIKOVSKIAN Vol. V, No. 2 The Libyan Dynasty One argument that could be used against the chronology presented here is the placement of the so-called Libyan Dynasty; the Sosenks, Osorkons, and Takelots. Surely, it will be said, these are the kings who ruled Egypt during the 8th ...

... , on the side of the "Phrygian cap" of the Maya god, or priest, "seated on a two-headed lion couch", etc., and writes: The use of such a spiral ornament, especially in representations of the elephant, is of widespread occurrence in the Old World . The fact that the crude sketehes of Indian elephants found in Scandinavia and Scotland present a spiral ornament can hardly be a merely accidental coincidence. He shows that on Greek coins the elephant's head was used as a head-dress of kings who also wore the curved horn of Amon, the Egyptian god, which formed a spiral about or behind the ear, or in front of the ear ...
