... Greeks and Romans the only ones to hold such beliefs and indulge in such practices. Similar patterns of behaviour are found not only in the Mediterranean area, but world wide. In this short work I attempt an explanation of the apparent contradiction between the rational and irrational, and suggest that the Greeks and Romans were acting rationally according to their lights. The will of the gods had to be ascertained before any important undertaking. The Greeks sent inquirers to Delphi and Dodona. The Romans and Etruscans relied heavily on the skill of augurs, who watched all animals, but especially birds, and lightning. In Greece, the eagle and vulture were associated with the supreme god Zeus, ...
252. Anomalous Occurrence of Crocodilia in Eocene Polar Forests [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Shelley Page informs his reader: "In the early 1980s, scientists proved the far North had once been a tropical paradise. The tilt of the earth shifted and so did the weather." [18] Presumably, Hobson did not have axial tilt in mind when he spoke of ancient northern tropical ecosystems having 24 hours a day of light or night, similar to modern seasonal trends in polar regions. A fossil tapir (an animal that now lives in the equatorial Amazon basin) of Eocene vintage (45 MYA) was discovered in 1976 on Ellesmere Island [19]. 1.4 Duration Of Polar Warmth Warm conditions north of the Arctic Circle lasted well past the ...
253. The Ching Hsing [Journals] [Horus]
... dynasty. From the standpoint of present observations this ancient astronomical belief among the Chinese seems absurd. First, because Venus orbits closer to the Sun than the Earth, it is not visible in the sky more than about 47 above the horizon. By the time it has risen to this height in the East, as Morning Star, its light is overpowered by the rising Sun. When it becomes visible at twilight in the West, as Evening Star, it may first appear at this height but is already setting toward the horizon. It is not possible, visually, for Venus to pass overhead (cross the sky) during the night. Further, Venus cannot rise in ...
254. A Holographic World [Journals] [Kronos]
... produce a reinforced wave of twice the normal height. If the crest of one coincides with the trough of another, they will cancel each other out and produce an isolated patch of calm water. In fact, all possible combinations of the two occur, and the final result is a complex arrangement of ripples known as an interference pattern. Light waves behave in exactly the same way. The purest kind of light available to us is that produced by a laser, which sends out a beam in which all of the waves are of one frequency,* like those made by an ideal pebble in a perfect pond. When two laser beams touch, they produce an interference pattern ...
255. The Solar System as Electrical [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the photosphere and chromosphere. Each is examined and known by means of spectroscopy, that is by observing and measuring its spectrum of => radiation. The spectrum of the photosphere shows radiation produced when the atoms, => ions, and electrons of the photosphere collide, and therefore the spectrum reflects the state of atomic collisions there. The light is emitted during the collisions. It appears that the photosphere is a region of => plasma and atoms where the motion of the material is chaotic, randomized. Collisions occur after short journeys, after short mean free paths of electrical accumulation. The electrical field is small. A high kinetic energy of collision is registered in the temperature ...
... = Tiamat' requires an equation: Elohim = Marduk', and also requires the fight of Elohim with Tohu, and the fashioning of the Earth out of her body. Genesis, however, is silent. There is only a faint echo in the Hebrew word for created', and in the mention of repeated acts of division: light from darkness, the waters above from the waters below, the waters from the dry land. We are helped, however, by other passages: By his knowledge', we read in Proverbs iii. 20, the depths [tehomoth, Tiamat] are broken up. ' Further, in Job xxvi. 12: He divideth ...
257. The Electro-gravitic Theory Of Celestial Motion [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . The subject deserves to be discussed in detail and quantitatively. All that I would venture to say at this time and in this place is the following: The accepted celestial mechanics, notwithstanding the many calculations that have been carried out to many decimal places, or verified by celestial motions, stands only if the Sun, the source of light, warmth, and other radiation produced by fusion and fission of atoms, is as a whole an electrically neutral body, and also if the planets, in their usual orbits, are neutral bodies. "Fundamental principles in celestial mechanics, including the law of gravitation, must come into question if the Sun possesses a charge sufficient to ...
258. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... now believed to have transpired in 2484 B.C .; the Tower of Babel catastrophe in 1944 B.C .; and the Sodom and Gomorrah catastrophe in 1889 B.C . (3 ) A new set of catastrophes have also been added and these Patten has labelled somewhat whimsically in an effort to inject his work with a light sense of humor. Thus, following Joshua's long day, we now have "Sisera' celestial centennial" in 1296 B.C .; "Gideon's midnight bash" in 1241 B.C .; and the "Philistine phalanx" in 1080 B.C . Following the Davidic catastrophe we now have "the Mount Carmel barbecue ...
259. Josephus's Discourse to the Greeks concerning Hades [Books]
... Extract Out Of Josephus's Discourse To The Greeks Concerning Hades 1. NOW as to Hades, wherein the souls of the of the good things they see, and rejoice in the righteous and unrighteous are detained, it is necessary to speak of it. Hades is a place in the world not regularly finished; a subterraneous region, wherein the light of this world does not shine; from which circumstance, that in this region the light does not shine, it cannot be but there must be in it perpetual darkness. This region is allotted as a place of custody for souls, ill which angels are appointed as guardians to them, who distribute to them temporary punishments, agreeable ...
260. In the Beginning -- A Review [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 1 No 1 (1993) Home | Issue Contents In the Beginning- A Review Charles Ginenthal Over the years, anyone who has followed the discussions and debates surrounding Immanuel Velikovsky's vision of the solar system may have wondered, when, if ever, his unpublished works would see the light of day. There are, indeed, several books generally known to a fascinated Velikovskian audience, an audience that has only surmised their existence through casual mention in Velikovskian and related literature and whose appetite is whetted enough that they want to know and see ever more. KRONOS, now either defunct or on a long sabbatical, has presented excerpts from some of these ...
