... It cannot, therefore, be escaped that, rather than symbolizing the planet Venus, Agni was only another manifestation of Saturn. In effect Agni was more than just that. In the Satapatha Brahmana, it is asserted that "Agni means penetrating brilliance".(8 ) This inclines us to believe that Agni was connected directly with the light shed by Saturn when that luminary flared up with a light as "bright as a thousand suns".(9 ) We seem to be on the right track when we also learn that when Prajapati "generated Agni from his mouth," the Saturnian deity existed alone.(10) Our conviction is finally cemented when it is ...
582. Thoth Vol V, No 4: Mar 15, 2001 [Journals] [Thoth]
... of galaxy/quasar pairs is only one of 15 arguments against the redshift/distance relationship that Halton Arp offers in his 1987 book, _Quasars, Redshifts, and Controversies_, summarized according to their relevance on page 174. Several more are discussed in his 1998 book, _Seeing Red_, and even more are coming to light since then. Margaret Burbidge alone has identified eleven more sets of high redshift quasars paired across the spin axis of bright low- redshift Seyfert galaxies in the past four years. The evidence continues to pour in. And this is crucial evidence. If it is true, then many of the discoveries of the last half- century of ...
583. Some Additional Evidence from the Period from the Exodus to the End of the Eighteenth Dynasty [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the el-Amarna correspondence there was such a temple; the king of Jerusalem refers to it in his letters, and it must have had a dominant position in the capital city. KNUDTZON, the translator of the tablets, read the ideogram as "House of Ninib", and I followed Knudtzon and tried to interpret such references in the light of events that were taking place at that time. Lewy, however, had already shown why the ideogram must be read "Temple of Sulman"; he interpreted the name as another version of the deity, Salem. In a private discussion with me, Professor Albright expressed his disagreement with Lewy's interpretation of Sulman as the name of ...
584. Mysterious Circles [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , to suggest that the cause of the shapes has much to do with the presence of electrical forces, which is perhaps even more shocking to conventional scientists than ideas about extra-terrestrial intelligences. The surprising result of Dr. Meaden's views is that he can also offer a reasonable scientific explanation for the observations of flying saucers of metallic appearance, strange lights, humming noises and the inexplicable' stopping of car engines, which most scientists would ignore or ascribe to hoaxes or an over-excited imagination. The circles phenomenon can be observed at the present time and photographed in gorgeous colour, so it is not as easy for this to be ignored as in the case of scientifically uncomfortable events which occurred ...
585. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... Darkness and the Deep," [1 ] and have a suggestion. Suppose that Earth at one time had a cloud cover similar to the one which Venus has now. Suppose that the emissions of rock/dust/etc. from proto-Saturn seeded that cloud cover and caused it to rain. This would explain the dimmer, more diffused light on Earth, while the rain would have filled the major ocean basins. Dwardu Cardona replies: The idea that Earth was enshrouded within a thicker cloud cover than the present one has been suggested before. Frederic Jueneman wrote an entire article on the subject, [2 ] one which must definitely be considered in light of the Saturnian thesis ...
586. Velikovsky and Catastrophism: A Hidden Agenda? [Journals] [Aeon]
... Hitler, look at central European Jewry during that period, narrow our focus to Russian Judaism and finally to the individual, we will be able to perceive that everything Velikovsky wrote- his scientific and psychological books as well as his historical reconstructions- may derive from one single over-riding impulse. This will place the entire Velikovsky story in a new light. To deduce Velikovsky's stance vis-a-vis Judaism, we begin with a number of conditions that exerted strong pressures upon him. The first and most obvious is the scientific climate that existed in Europe during the last half of the nineteenth century. In a word, if Lyell and Darwin were correct about the history of geology and biology, the ...
587. "A Ghastly Sight of Shame". Part 2 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... Davis crawled along on the heap of stones through the narrow space under the ceiling of the passage and seventy feet from the mouth of the tomb came to a chamber rudely hewn in the rock. The objects found in the cavern were strewn around in the greatest disorder. The first thing that attracted the attention of Davis, probably because the light that was brought in fell first on them, were canopic jars, four in number. Canopic jars were used in Egypt for preserving the intestines and other inner organs of the deceased whose body was mummified. The jars in this tomb were alabaster, of exquisite workmanship, and their lids carried identical carved likenesses: these were beautifully executed ...
588. Mysteries of the Sacred Universe [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... no exception. However, a closer examination of this text reveals unexpected depths of knowledge in ancient cosmology. Mysteries of the Sacred Universe shows that the cosmology of the Bhagavata Purana is a sophisticated system, with multiple levels of meaning that encode at least four different astronomical, geographical, and spiritual world models. By viewing the text in the light of modern astronomy, Richard Thompson shows how ancient scientists expressed exact knowledge in apparently mythological terms. Comparison with the ancient traditions of Egypt and the Near East shows early cultural connections between India and these regions- including a surprisingly advanced science. However, quantitative science is only part of the picture. Mysteries of the Sacred Universe also offers ...
589. Some 'New Chronology' Issues [Journals] [SIS Review]
... really unfortunate that so few readers of the Review and of Workshop show themselves supportive of the New Chronology in its present state of development. Few seem to be willing to accept that the development of such an alternative scheme is to be the work of years of research ahead, and that such a scheme must await new evidence to come to light in support of it. It is for this reason also that I feel I should present here the following piece of evidence in support of the placement of the Amarna period in the time of the early Israelite Monarchy, as is proposed in the New Chronology. Rohl and Newgrosh have suggested the equation of the el-Amarna character Aziru, prince ...
