... impact it had with and upon its eastern neighbour, the Land of the Bible. My interest was renewed about ten years after my return to civil life in Israel, when I came across Immanuel Velikovsky's book Ages in Chaos. The way which he replaced the accepted chronology of the ancient Near East by that of the Bible and the new light which this threw on Biblical history fascinated me and I decided to experiment with it. (a ) In Velikovsky's reconstruction, the "Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia" who visited King Solomon according to Josephus (known better as the "Queen of Sheba" of the Bible) was none other than the famous female Pharaoh Hatshepsut. Curiously ...

573. Review, Notes and Letters [Journals] [Pensee]
... Yet Genesis 1 leaves room for Dr. Velikovsky's thesis that earth has been without a moon in historical times. Although most commentaries explain Genesis 1:16 as referring to the creation of the Sun and the Moon, this is not necessarily so. Genesis 1:16 in the King James version reads: "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: (he made) the stars also." Most Bible-interpreters deem it obvious that the lesser light must be the moon; however, the words "he made the stars also" could very well be rendered this way: "namely the ...

... From: SIS Internet Digest 2002:1 (Sep 2002) Home | Issue Contents The Atlantis Secret www.eridu.co.uk/Author/atlantis/ The Cataclysm of All Cataclysms: Ancient man witnessed an extraordinary array of cosmic activity: comets and meteors lighting up the skies, fireballs exploding in the atmosphere, and meteorites plunging to the ground. But what effects did such things have on the human psyche? In this remarkable book, Alan F. Alford explains how the sages of old drew an astonishing conclusion: long ago, they decided, a living planet had exploded and seeded the beginning of all life on Earth. This "Cataclysm of all cataclysms ...

576. The Big Lie [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:5 (Jan 2000) Home | Issue Contents News Flash The Big Lie Tania ta Maria We have all marveled at the magnificent color photographs of the cosmos which have been paraded before us in exquisite spreads in the pages of National Geographic and a slew of astronomical journals. They present such glorious vistas of color and light that one almost expects to see God's angels shining through. What a lie! Of course, many of us have known all along that these superb panoramas are somewhat enhanced and sometimes shown in false-color to emphasize stellar elemental constituents. But even these false-color images are displayed in elegant Technicolor. What the public-at-large has not been told, up ...

578. Global Catastrophes: New Evidence from Astronomy, Biology and Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... "Milky Way" described by the ancients was not the astronomical feature which we call the Milky Way today, though it bore similiarities to that cloudy band of stars familiar to us. Up to a few centuries BC there was another band in the sky in the plane of the ecliptic, a luminous band, reflecting an extra bright zodiacal light. This band was produced by huge clouds of dust, the residue of an immense outburst of cometary activity within the solar system during the previous ten millennia. The speaker then touched upon, necessarily briefly, some of the numerous anomalies in ancient descriptions of the "Milky Way" which had bemused subsequent philosophers and astronomers. Aristotle described ...

"On they went dimly, beneath the lonely night amid the gloom, through the empty halls of Dis and his unsubstantial realm, even as under the grudging light of an Inconstant moon lies a path in the forest." The beauty of the lines disguises the fact that the voyage really is not through subterranean caverns crowded with the countless dead, but through great stretches of emptiness suggesting night 193 space, and once the party has crossed the rivers and passed the gates of Elysium thanks to the ...

... from ancient technology even though they are not in the historical record. I therefore took two spherical water-filled glass globes, of 1000 mI and 25 mI capacity, and brought them together to form an optical system in which the 1000 ml flask was the objective and the 25 mI flask served as the eyepiece. The system focused parallel rays of light when the globes were held nine centimeters apart. The hypothetical ancient telescope as assembled and used Initial observations were made April 11, 1978, and the Moon appeared wondrous in the telescope. Words simply fail in describing the beauty of a nearly full Moon magnified by water! The craters Tycho, Copernicus, Plato and the Alps were easily ...
