... the ship's log as a waterspout. 15. As it may be objected by the reader that had these various catastrophes been caused by falling rneteors they would have been seen, it should be said that they fall so swiftly the eye cannot fix them except at night at a distance away when they show as a long and brilliant stream of light. In the daylight they are invisible to the naked eye and are only heralded by vapours in advance. They fall as a rule tangentially, and in their passage, nearing the earth, are the cause of earthquakes. They appear to follow along certain lines of longitude and are apparently attracted to the volcanic belts of the earth. ...
212. Egyptian Influence Upon Early Israelite Literature [Journals] [Aeon]
... style, various Israelite literary works will be explored and compared with those of Egypt. The P or Priestly [5 ] creation account in Genesis 1 will be compared to the "Memphite Cosmogony" as inscribed on the Shabaka Stone. [6 ] The story of "Joseph and Potiphar's Wife" found in Genesis 39 will be studied in light of the "Tale of Two Brothers" as written on the Papyrus D'Orbiney. [7 ] The account of Joseph's interpretation of Pharaoh's dream in Genesis 41 will be weighed against the "Tradition of Seven Lean Years in Egypt" found inscribed on a rock on the Island of Siheil near the First Cataract on the Nile River. [ ...
213. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... being at its brightest at its mid point at midnight. Talbott's scenario only allowed for a fixed northern configuration whereas mythology seemed to be saying that whatever was above was repeated below in the underworld; this was because the rest of the configuration was due to the Earth's polar aurorae, those in the northern hemisphere observing the reflection of the northern lights, or aurora borealis, and those in the southern hemisphere observing the southern lights, or aurora australis. Significantly, it could be deduced from measurements of Earth's decreasing magnetic field that this was very much stronger a few thousand years ago and therefore any auroral effects would be greater. It has only recently been established that the auroras are ...
214. The Sibylline Oracles [Books]
... Quindecimvirs to discover.16 Indeed it appears that even in the Roman books the expected answers were by no means found lying on the surface. The method of consultation was elaborate and artificial. One account of it avers that a line was chosen at random, and an acrostic was made, with the letters composing this line as the "lights": verses beginning with the appropriate letters were then discovered in the oracles and perhaps composed for the occasion. If this account is even approximately correct,17 it is clear that the Quindecimvirs were in a fortunate position. The Sibyl was venerated, and she could be made to say what they thought desirable. However, it is ...
215. Some Religious Themes in the Light of Velikovsky et alia [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 4 No 2 (Sep 1981) Home | Issue Contents Some Religious Themes in the Light of Velikovsky et alia Hugh Eggleton "Thrones were set in place and one of great age took his seat. His robe was white as snow, the hair of his head as pure as wool. His throne was a blaze of flames, its wheels were a burning fire. A stream of fire poured out, issuing from its presence. A thousand thousand waited on him, ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. A court was held and the books were opened." - Daniel 7:9-10 (Jerusalem Bible) The studies I have ...
216. The Organization of the Solar System, Part II: A Galactic Capture Hypothesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... supporting evidence whatsoever makes nebular creation untenable as a scientific theory- notwithstanding the constant drumming for it through textbooks, media and encyclopedia. If a miraculous mechanism is required we would prefer a more credible foundation than the nebular hypothesis. Our suggestion is to look toward that region almost half way out to the nearest star (Proxima Centauri, 4 light years distant) for the origin of the planets, and to regard our Sun as a recent galactic "gatherer." This essay is not intended to be a treatise on how the Sun or the planets were formed. The issue we raise is where (and when) they acquired their spins and their present orbits. Also, ...
217. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... without burdening him with the mathematical intricacies, leading gently and persuasively into the deeper seas of the forces of nature and the attempts being made for their unification into a more coherent field theory. Before long we find ourselves blithely bathing in the uncharted abyssal depths of the multi-dimensional Kaluza-Klein model that mathematically unified Einstein's gravitational field equations with Maxwell's theory of light by adding a fifth dimension to Riemann's metric tensors. In the middle of the 19th century, Bernhard Riemann, a brilliant young mathematician studying under Carl Friedrich Gauss at the University of Göttingen, was asked by his mentor to give a major lecture presentation on an alternative to Euclidean geometry. For some decades Gauss himself was cognizant that such ...

219. Pursuing A Ray Of Light. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... From "Stargazers and Gravediggers" © 1983 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Pursuing A Ray Of Light ALL THIS, which looms so important on these pages, occupied only a little of my time- through the winter I was busy in checking and rechecking various references in Ages in Chaos, the first volume of which was, after a few delays caused by my slow tempo, scheduled for spring. Dr. Walter Federn was very scrupulous and compelled me to go into endless library work, sometimes opening a hundred volumes to check on one word. Finally I returned the last set of proofs- four or five times I required new proofs- and I went with Elisheva ...
220. Darkness Over Sinai (Where was Moses when the light went out?) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1992 No 2 (Jan 1993) Home | Issue Contents Darkness Over Sinai (Where was Moses when the light went out?)By David A. Slade In Jewish tradition the Israelites did not see the face of the Sun during the wandering in the desert because of clouds. They were also unable to orientate themselves on their march. No cause is given for these overcast conditions. This forty year-long obscuration is considered by Velikovsky as being due to multiple prolonged volcanic eruptions and the gaseous tail of a great cinder-trailing comet [1 ]. The degree of darkness' is not known, but it is common knowledge that cloud cover during ...
