... Kilauea and some 25 miles from it. On March 30, 1984 (Associated Press 4/16/84), the two volcanoes erupted simultaneously for the first time in 116 years. The Philadelphia Inquirer (4 /8 /84) described the eruptions as "punctuated by an earthquake, sonic booms, snow and a mysterious white light streaking across the sky.... "U .S . Geological Survey scientist Robert Decker said that a brilliant white light that streaked over the main island a week ago- just as Kilauea ended its one-day simultaneous eruption with Mauna Loa- was probably a meteor unrelated to the volcanoes." "Mauna Loa's eruption had begun on ...
412. Baal Zevuv (Beelzebub), Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the ninth century King Ahaziah of Jezreel, after he was injured in an accident, sent his emissaries to ask advice of this god at Ekron and not of the oracle at Jerusalem.(85) This Baal Zevuv is Beelzebub of the Gospels.(86) Ahriman, the god of darkness who battled with Ormuzd, the god of light, is compared in the Bundahis to a fly. Of the flies that filled the earth buried in gloom it is said: "His multitudes of flies scatter themselves over the world that is poisoned through and through."(87) Ares (Mars) in the Iliad calls Athene "dog-fly." "The gods clashed with ...
413. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... speaks of the First Red race' mentioned in "Indaba My Children". She might be interested to know that Colin Turnbull, in "The Mountain People" - page 46 - writing of the IK who live on the Kenya-Uganda border says, "although their skin may be burned black from exposure, underneath you can see it is light red in colour". Two further references in the same book may also interest her. The name of one of the IK was Atum; and that Archie Tucker, the English linguist, stated that the nearest language he could find to theirs was Classical Middle-Kingdom Egyptian. It is possible this people has died out for in the early ...
414. The Last Days of Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... , and it had an article on the topic of "color." And there I read that, in Ancient Mesopotamia, portentous events for the king and the country were predicted from the color that "the plume of Venus," the "feather of Venus" was taking, i.e . whether it was dark, or light... Now what on earth could the "plume of Venus" have referred to? The encyclopaedia neglected to address itself to this question. But, in the light of Velikovsky's theories, a satisfactory explanation was close at hand : at the time referred to, Venus, the planet Venus, must have had some kind of ...
415. The Cosmic Origin of the Swastika [Journals] [Aeon]
... prototype of the Heaven Man. (8 ) To Talbott, the Heaven Man was the personification of the primeval Saturn. This assertion is given substance by the Babylonians whose "first man", that is Adam, was Belus "who is Kronos" (9 ) and therefore Saturn. This also accounts for the belief that the primordial light, which I have elsewhere described as the light shed by Saturn's primeval flare-up, (10) was actually shed by Adam's countenance. (11) It is therefore gratifying to learn that the name Prometheus was also used as a surname for Kronos who was Saturn. (12) Moreover, Mount Caucasus, to which Prometheus was shackled ...
416. Letopolis: city of the thunderbolt (Report) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... symbolised the blind phase of the god, Horus' . It seems the Egyptian god had been blinded during his conflict with Seth, who had cast thunderbolts at him. Almost certainly this is human experience and nothing to do with the Horus going blind. Exploding bolides and thunderbolts had the power of flash' - a short sharp burst of light. People looking up at the flash' could have been blinded in much the same way that people can be blinded by looking at the corona of the sun, particularly during eclipses. Blinding due to ' blast and flash' phenomena is a recurrent mythic theme and even pops up in the Bible. Forrest quotes the story of Sodom ...
417. From Creation to the Death of Isaac [Books]
... THE DEATH OF ISAAC.CHAPTER 1.THE CONSTITUTION OF THE WORLD AND THE DISPOSITION OF THE ELEMENTS. 1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. But when the earth did not come into sight, but was covered with thick darkness, and a wind moved upon its surface, God commanded that there should be light: and when that was made, he considered the whole mass, and separated the light and the darkness; and the name he gave to one was Night, and the other he called Day: and he named the beginning of light, and the time of rest, The Evening and The Morning, and this was indeed the ...
418. Appendix: Measurements Of The Electromagnetic Properties Of "space" [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Electromagnetic Properties Of "space"Note 1 George R. Talbott and Charles Ginenthal PROPOSAL SUMMARY The electrical permittivity and magnetic permeability of "free space" are handbook values used daily in electrical engineering. Once vacuum permittivity is measured, the associated permeability is fixed and the inverse of the square root of their product is the free space velocity of light. It is commonly assumed that permittivity and permeability in remote space are constant and equal to the laboratory handbook values. It is also commonly believed that both magnetic and electrical field intensities are negligible and unvarying as functions of spatial position, as long as the electromagnetic sensing apparatus is in remote space, far removed from any planetary or other ...
419. In Memoriam: Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [Kronos]
... tears Thaw not the frost which binds so dear a head! And thou, sad Hour, selected from all years To mourn our loss, rouse thy obscure compeers, And teach them thine own sorrow! Say: With me Died Adonais; till the Future dares Forget the Past, his fate and fame shall be An echo and a light unto Eternity! ' . . . Most musical of mourners, weep anew! Not all to that bright station dared to climb; And happier they their happiness who knew, Whose tapers yet burn through that night of time In which suns perished; others more sublime, Struck by the envious wrath of man or God, Have sunk ...
420. The Quarters of the World Displaced, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the cardinal points as a result of the cosmic catastrophe of the days of the Exodus, or only a substantial shift, is a problem not solved here. The answer was not apparent even to contemporaries, at least for a number of decades. In the gloom that endured for a generation, observations were impossible and very difficult when the light began to break through. The Kalevala relates that "dreaded shades" enveloped the earth, and "the sun occasionally steps from his accustomed path."(7 ) Then Ukko-Jupiter struck fire from the sun to light a new sun and a new moon, and a new world age began. In Völuspa (Poetic Edda) of ...
