... lubar, an early Latin word for comet (derived from iuba, meaning "hair" or "mane"). That the Egyptian Hathor and Latin Venus were only two of many comet goddesses throughout the ancient world will be demonstrated in this series of essays (also see 1. Fuhr, "On Comets, Comet-Like Luminous Apparitions and Meteors" in KRONOS VII:4 , pp. 48-61 and KRONOS VIII:1 , l, pp. 38-52).] To show Venus' cometary character, Velikovsky noted the incongruous "beard" of Venus in Babylonian astronomy - also that Venus, as Ishtar, was "the one with hair". The Mexicans called the ...

504. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... phenomena, or gas balls, are occasionally a feature of fault lines. During catastrophic incidents this must have increased considerably. Mountains on fault lines exhibit, even nowadays, great sheets of light, like blankets floating in the sky, gushing forth in many colours. It is, perhaps, simplistic just to think in terms of comets and meteoric firework displays. Catastrophic too. These factors seem to be wholly relevant to the late 5th and early 6th centuries AD. The folklore attached to St. Columba and several other early saints of the Celtic Church is explicable in terms of enhanced sun activity, increased electro-magnetism at the poles and auroral phenomena. Sacred sites may have earned a ...
505. The Case for Catastrophe in Historical Times [Journals] [Kronos]
... deep red colour. This is not an unreasonable assumption: high concentrations of rare earth metals are found in the geological strata associated with presumed impacts of meteorites or comets. Readily explained in terms of this hypothesis also are the two general points raised at the beginning of the Discussion section. If Enheduanna witnessed the encounter between Earth and a large meteor or comet, we have a potent stimulus for her vivid recording. Although she was the high priestess of the moon god, Nanna, we should not be surprised if she changed her allegiance to the more "active" astral body, Inanna: nor should we be surprised at complaints of Nanna's indifference, or ineffectiveness. CONCLUSION The ...
506. The Trouble With Aztex [Journals] [Kronos]
... Saturnian disruption of our competing scenarios, neither heaven nor Earth was to remain the same. The light of Saturn's flare-up all but blinded mankind. Its debris bombarded our ancestors and the event has left us all scarred to this day. Van Flandern writes: "What a sight it must have been for early man: the sky ablaze with meteors, night and day for months, and comets streaming among the stars. Many thousands of years would pass before the heavens would return to a more normal state. But even then the earth would never again be the same."(83) While my own scenario, if no other, allows for more than one Saturnian disruption ...
507. The After-Effects of Newton's Comet of 1680 AD [Journals] [SIS Review]
... all appear approaching the Sun in November and, having come near to the Earth, then recede in about March. If we define a family of comets as containing all those that have been observed to do this, it contains many more comets than those mentioned, especially in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It might even include the Leonid meteor showers that occur in November, which have been associated with the William Temple comet discovered in 1866. If a large body were to explode, the fragments would recede in all directions; the fragments would then follow ellipses with different periods, but each ellipse would include the position of the explosion. If the explosion were caused by a ...

... , "What Killed the Giant Mammals?" Science 221 (1983), pp. 1036-1037. 94. I trust that this is an adequate reply to Cardona's query. In return I ask whether he is prepared to commit himself to but one of the multifarious theories re the preservation of frozen mammoths that he preferred: Is it "meteoric impact" or "a sudden cold wave"? 95.

... planet exploded, I predict that it will show signs of its electrical birth. That birth occurred as a normal effect of interplanetary discharges following a close approach of two planets. Most likely, it is a fragment of the 2 million cubic kilometres missing from the Valles Marineris on Mars. Mars was renowned of old for his entourage of flaming meteors. As part of the electrical birth process, the asteroid will have been struck by plasma discharges These produce characteristically neat, circular craters and a melted glassy deposit in the centre of many - unlike impacts but like those found by astronauts in small craters on the Moon. Also, like other asteroids, it may exhibit a somewhat " ...
