... planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Mercury, Venus; the last two bringing catastrophes. Narmer is stated to be the 1st pharaoh of unified Egypt, 250 years before the 1st Dynasty. He came from the Sudan and may have ruled over Palestine. He is identified with Osiris, also supposedly from Sudan. The scene shifts to Mayan Great Cycle starting in 3114 BC, the Birth of Venus. The Typhon Seasons followed every 52 years. There was a cataclysm 52 years earlier as with Mercury - Seth. Weche believes Narmer's reign ended at that time and the story of the Seth/Osiris conflict stems therefrom. He then makes connections with Byblos and thus Asia. ...
142. The Hermes Connection [Journals] [Aeon]
... demiurge with the Cretan Minotaur and its Labyrinth. (Min=fish; also an ithyphallic Egyptian counterpart of Hermes. Taur=bull.) A striking similarity comes from Mesoamerica, where the rain god, Tlaloc, has a face formed out of interlacing serpents, this being compared by some to the caduceus of Hermes/Mercury. The Mayan god of rain, Yum Chaac, has a visage often depicted with a variety of decorations, but almost invariably with a serpentine, elephant-like nose (28) , much in the manner of the "snout" characteristics referred to earlier, and which is reminiscent of the ithyphallic hermae of the Greeks. This in turn reminds one of ...
143. The Nature and Scale of an Exodus Catastrophe Reassessed [Journals] [SIS Review]
... difficult to know what weight, if any, can be given to those Church Fathers whom Velikovsky quotes in support of his own synchronisms. Velikovsky's attempt to identify Ogyges with a hypothetical Agag of the time of Moses (based on a forced interpretation of Numbers 24:7 ) is unconvincing in the extreme. Velikovsky also tries to link the Mayan 52-year cycle, associated with the planet Venus, with the Old Testament Jubilee, observed every fiftieth year (Leviticus 25:8ff). He explains the difference thus: "The Jews fasted and prepared themselves for the Day of Judgment on the earliest possible date of [the comet's] return; the Mayas had their festival when the ...
144. Aphrodite The Moon or Venus? (Continued) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... unlikely that weak deities (e .g . Selene, Luna) would suffice for such a heavy-weight force, Aphrodite's character is adequate to lunar history. In many places in the world at this time, Moon and Mars are intimately paired (e .g . just the other day, Mr Jan Samner of Montreal wrote me of a Mayan figurine with the Moon goddess and a grinning rabbit companion - cf. mouse; wolf; and cf. Velikovsky on these and other representations of Mars). It is unscientific to add, perhaps, that one gets from many quarters the "gut-feeling" that the famous pair had been up to some immoral business in the forgotten times ...
145. "VELIKOVSKY AND THE RECENT HISTORY OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM" [Journals] [Pensee]
... example of genuine interdisciplinary synthesis: certain historical and archaeological data become, at the same time, astronomical data. Indeed, this disciplinary merger seems now to hold out the most immediate and substantial hope for resolution of the vexing questions Velikovsky has set before the scholarly community-as the symposium papers by MacKie (megalithic "observatories"), Owen (Mayan calendrical inscriptions), and Rose and Vaughan (Babylonian astronomical observations) testified. The data of mythology and the descriptive writings of the ancients, on the other hand, do not so neatly convert to raw material for physical scientists. That the conversion of such data can be effected was cogently argued by mythologists Vine Deloria, Jr. ...
146. The Periodic Cyclicism Of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... from the morning, even to the APPOINTED TIME; there died of the people from Dan to Beersheba seventy thousand men." II Sam. 24:15 2 Immanuel Velikovsky, Worlds in Collision. (N .Y . 1950) .. . Surprisingly Velikovsky dated this flyby as in February of 687 B.C . based on Mayan records. Velikovsky was unaware of Talmudic dating as a Passover night (March 20-21) and he was close, only 14 years late in his annual dating. 66 VELIKOVSKIAN Vol. V, No. 1 In ancient Greece there were schools of "monthly prognosticators and stargazers" whose leading students sat next to kings in the royal councils ...
147. Volcanism [Books] [de Grazia books]
... million years within the single million years of total assigned time. The argon technique is faulted for atmospheric contamination and incomplete outgassing of lava containing radiogenic argon. (But is this not an inevitable occurrence, then, in all catastrophism, where atmospheric pollution" is inevitable?) Even so, both methods are faulted when it appears that preclassical Mayan artifacts are found under the 500,000 y argon-dated (or 50,000 y biostratigraphic-dated) so-called "D " (or Worzel) layer of ash in the region. The explosion of the island of Thera about 3000 years ago sent about 40 km 3 material into the atmosphere. The seas were covered with pumice, some of ...
148. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... early white settlers but one has sophisticated corbelling, is aligned to the summer solstice sunset and is associated with stone cairns on a nearby hill. It is said to resemble ancient Irish and Iberic chambers and was built under the influence of Irish monks around 700BC. In Oklahoma a cache of large, ornately flaked flints resemble eccentric flints found in Mayan burials, indicating Mayan trade or influence. In Washington a Caucasian skeleton found by the Columbia river and thought to be an ordinary pioneer has been dated as 9,300 years old. In Mexico ceremonial jade adzes at La Venta bear characters which a Chinese scholar claims to be able to read. In New Zealand, an array of ...
149. Thoth Vol I, No. 18: July 3, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... of the rosy cloud rack of morning, and when she shook out her long hair she scattered the dew upon the earth." The point here is that Forrest's "explanation" of the Aztec Venus/smoking star association fails to acknowledge converging lines of evidence: Aztec comet as smoking star, Aztec Venus as smoking star, Aztec and Mayan long-haired star as comet; Aztec Venus as long-haired star, Mayan Venus with or as flowing lock or tassel, Incan Venus as long- haired star. Hence, the methodological issue is placed in sharp relief. Here is another way of looking at the issue logically: Around the world there are only a small number of pre- ...
150. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... and magnetic "pull" than the Moon, then mankind would be under strong pressure to develop long-term earthquake prediction systems. Venus Ruled Lives of Maya source: INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE 12.5 .83 Some experts held it to be a forgery, but John Carlson, a University of Maryland archaeoastronomer, pieced together the fragments of an ancient Mayan manuscript and found it to be authentic. The pieces when put together form a macabre skeletal figure holding a spear-thrower, a figure known from other sources as a god associated with the planet Venus. On comparison with a Mayan Venus calendar, Carlson found that the figure's appearance corresponded to Venus's as the evening star. This document confirms that ...
