132. Cosmos & Chronos Symposium report [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... 3 . He claimed that Mewhinney took most of his references out-of-context, especially when referring to Charles' own works, where Mewhinney would often quote an ambiguous statement about the maps in isolation from as many as five supportive statements that accompanied Mewhinney's quotes. Saturday morning, Nancy Owen tried- with some success- to teach us how to read Mayan calendars. She passed out copies of 5 pages from the Dresden Codex. The fifth page was a picture- a dragon across the top, hanging down on the left, breathing fire. The signs for Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter were spread across the top. Beneath the dragon was a Medusa-headed women pouring liquid from an ...
... Geographic Society issued a press release: Using radiocarbon methods, scientists had dated relics from La Venta, Mexico, to 800-400 B.C . instead of the A.D . 400-500 figure that Mesoamericanists had conventionally assigned them. Although Velikovsky was nowhere mentioned in connection with the La Venta finding, he had of course long assumed that the Mayan mythology had referred to the same celestial events as Jewish and other mythologies and had dated them accordingly. IGY official Edward O. Hulbert answered Hess on January 18 that the first test on the Velikovsky list was already scheduled and that the second one was an open possibility after the magnetic data became available, but that the remaining five had ...
134. The God-Kings and the Titans: The New World Ascendancy in Ancient Times by James Bailey [Journals] [Kronos]
... equates scripts with alphabets, despite the fact that most scripts are not alphabets, confuses hieroglyphic Hittite with cuneiform Hittite, and states that ancient Greek had no w, although many non-Attic dialects did (the name for it having been "digamma"). In the area of phonology, he talks of "glottal p" in Minoan and Mayan- a phonetic impossibility, unless he means glottalized p. In the area of etymology, he suggests the cognation of the three Classical words okeanos, "ocean current," aqua, "water," and oikoumenê, "inhabited world," when no Indo-Europeanists support these equations. In the area of linguistic classification, finally, ...
135. Afterword [Journals] [Kronos]
... asks: "Does Velikovsky's evidence provide reasonable proof that the axis shifted abruptly and catastrophically 27 centuries ago?" His verdict is in two words: "Absolutely not". No careful reader of Worlds in Collision would agree. All of the evidence from Greek, Roman, Babylonian, Sumerian, Chinese, Hindu, Hebrew, Egyptian, Mayan, and Toltec civilizations are dismissed in this casual fashion, hundreds of pages, thousands of references. There are also several chapters in Earth in Upheaval dealing with evidence of the changing position of the terrestrial axis. Mulholland, who on the first page of his paper refers to how both Venus and Mars "erupted into the sky" ...
136. Heracles and the Planet Mars [Journals] [Aeon]
... , "the king who causes the sun to go down." (17) Ugaritic sources, similarly, credit Reseph with causing "eclipses" of the sun, Reseph being a form of Nergal and identified by leading scholars with the planet Mars. (18) R.W . Willson, a pioneer in the investigation of the Mayan astronomical tables, claimed to have found evidence in the Mesoamerican codices of a Mars-table. It is curious to note, however, that the glyph which Willson identified as that of Mars is frequently associated with glyphs and tables thought to record ecliptic phenomena. (19) It is scarcely necessary to state, however, that while these traditions ...
... Central American traditions tell of a catastrophe that preceded, by 52 years, the long night; and 52 years before Joshua's miracle is a likely time for the Exodus. For this earlier catastrophe, marked by the "plagues of Egypt," Velikovsky quotes tales from all over the globe of apparently similar events: rivers turning to blood (Mayan, Egyptian, biblical, Greek, Finnish stories); "the descent of a sticky fluid which came earthward and blazed with heavy smoke is recalled in the oral and written traditions of the inhabitants of both hemispheres" [408:54] (Mayan, Siberian, East Indian, Egyptian, biblical, Babylonian); and fires ...

... , 1976), pp. 70-75; Creation Research Society (Quarterly, Vol. 12, #4 (March, 1976), pp. 197-200. Point #8 : Velikovsky, Brasseur, and the Troano Codex - see KRONOS, I, 1 (Spring-1975), pp. 75-79- "Velikovsky drew from Brasseur's translation of Mayan glyphs - both those of the Troano Codex and those of the calendar stones- absolutely nothing except restatements of the commonplace of Mayan catastrophist traditions"(p . 78). Point # 9: The historicity of Moses and Joshua is a moot point and certainly not to be treated as cavalierly as you do. (What is your ...

... the present sun, was their first king and founder of the kingship rites. He not only introduced all of the arts of civilization, but presided over the Golden Age. The ancient Maya proclaimed that their once-spectacular civilization had its origins in the rule of the creator-king and god of the Golden Age, Itzam Na. At the center of Mayan culture, stood the sovereign chief, announcing himself as something like "the King of Kings and ruler of the world, regent on earth of the great Itzam Na." The leading Mayan expert, J. Eric Thompson, saw this an "inflated notion of grandeur," "a sort of divine right of kings which would ...
140. The 108-year Cyclicism of the Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Aeon]
... He amassed information from thirteen ancient civilizations where a 360-day calendar was used satisfactorily. One of those cultures, the Persian, had 180 days in a "month." Another, the Roman, had 36 days in a "month.". Another, the Chinese, had 15 days in a semi-month, while yet another, the Mayan, had 5 days in a "week." The Persian calendar had two 180-day periods to the year. The Roman calendar had ten 36-day months. The historic Chinese calendar had twenty-four 15-day periods. The ancient Mayan calendar comprised 72 five-day weeks, not 73. Then, after the eighth century B.C . closed, one ...
