... . They are entirely too similar to be a mere coincidence. Velikovsky completed the revised chronology. Whelton indicates "he was unable to continue in that direction for the required length of time because it would have meant abandoning Biblical chronology." Part of it is published in several issues of KRONOS, the remainder is in Velikovsky's unpublished "New Light on the Dark Ages of Greece"- I have a copy of that manuscript, thanks to the thoughtfulness of Shulamit Kogan. Whelton's account has Velikovsky "Barely in control of his emotions," after, in effect, being called "a liar." As Vine Deloria wrote in KRONOS III:4 , p. 48, ...
... black, and the parent birds return to them. As an additional reward, God grants their petition when the ravens pray for rain.[31] THE INHABITANTS OF THE SEVEN EARTHS When Adam was cast out of Paradise, he first reached the lowest of the seven earths, the Erez, which is dark, without a ray of light, and utterly void. Adam was terrified, particularly by the flames of the ever-turning sword, which is on this earth. After he had done penance, God led him to the second earth, the Adamah, where there is light reflected from its own sky and from its phantom-like stars and constellations. Here dwell the phantom-like beings ...
233. Indra: A Case Study in Comparative Mythology [Journals] [Aeon]
... wide vast mid-air and heaven and earth together." (14) A similar passage is the following: "Indra, Impetuous One, hath waxed immensely: he with his vastness hath filled earth and heaven." (15) Most impressive, perhaps, is the following passage: "He filled the earthly atmosphere and pressed against the lights of heaven." (16) Throughout the Veda there seems to be a decided emphasis upon the fact that Indra's sudden growth to gargantuan proportions was nearly instantaneous with his birth: "Deeming him a reproach, his mother hid him, Indra, endowed with all heroic valor. Then up he sprang himself, assumed his vesture, ...

... be watched. It may well have been `west' originally, but has been changed to `north' by a redactor who wanted to give an actualistic turn to the myth by substituting a cardinal point from which danger-from invading armies chiefly threatened the inhabitants of Palestine. The first myth describes the general aspects: on a great, brilliantly lighted, quickly moving, heavenly phenomenon, which is addressed as a fire-flashing `cloud' (i .4 ), but later (i . 22; x. 15, 20) as a `living creature' (singular!), certain markings are discernible which are interpreted as likenesses' of fantastically composed figures, `living ...

... form. These myths have also told us of a time of which, up till now, only geology, and to some extent astronomy, were supposed to have the monopoly of description and explanation. This book has set out to interpret the old wonder-tales of the world from a new point of view. We believe that, in the light of its explanations, the old traditions have gained considerably in value. Giving over the purely allegorical and non-natural system of interpretation, we have tried to disentangle from the myths the history of times otherwise forgotten, and the record of happenings otherwise unknown. Now at last we can see light through the imagery of the Edda, the mystic ...
236. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , to which the historians and sociologists of science can apply all the sophisticated tools of sociological analysis now available. Far more primary material is available on this controversy than on any other in scientific history: correspondence and documents (Velikovsky himself has amassed a huge archive), recordings and film have chronicled every aspect, and in the end new light must be shed on the complexities of the scientific process. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a British contribution to the discussion of the scientific reception system, by R. G. A. Dolby, and I would here like to draw attention to another by Michael Mulkay. Mulkay is the author of several books, including Social ...
237. William H. Stiebing, Jr., and Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... posed at the symposium of 1974 by David Morrison. He states, For example, Velikovsky stated that Venus originated in Jupiter. It would be expected, then, that the two planets would have a similar composition. But such is not the case. Jupiter's density is low, indicating that most of its mass is in the form of light elements such as hydrogen and helium. However, Venus has a density close to that of the Earth and four times higher than that of Jupiter. There is no way that Venus could contain large amounts of hydrogen and helium, or other light elements. Like Earth, Venus must have a core of heavy metals and a mantle of ...

239. An Ancient Latin Name for Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 2 (Winter 1981) Home | Issue Contents An Ancient Latin Name for Venus Jan N. Sammer Venus, in its aspect as the Morning Star, was known to the early Romans as Iubar; not until much later did Lucifer, "the bringer of light", replace Iubar as the designation of the planet Venus in its morning aspect.(l ) Latin writers derived Iubar from the word iuba, meaning "hair". Varro wrote: eadem stella vocatur iubar quod iubata- "this star is called iubar because it is hairy".(2 ) Varro and Festus compared the Morning Star's hair to a lion's ...
240. Solar System Studies [Journals] [Aeon]
... Earth have revealed a plethora of facts not previously known, raising a number of questions yet to be fully explored. Did early man experience catastrophes on a scale unknown to us today? And did some of these catastrophes involve erratic planets in an unstable Solar System? While many facets of the paleogeologic record of Earth must be restudied in the light of new catastrophist research, a quick review of other Solar System bodies and subsystems is also of interest. Our purpose in this review is not to answer the mysteries of the Solar System but to highlight some of the questions deserving careful and impartial analysis. These issues, then, may become the focal points of follow-up discussion in subsequent ...
