... difficult task for his tireless workhorse, chance. It is the acquisition of spin rate in pairs Table I illustrates. Usually, planets are listed geographically, from nearest the Sun to farthest from it. Table I lists the planets not by location, but rather by spin rate (from the fastest pair to the slowest pair). The Moon and the Sun are added for comparison. The planet masses and angular momentums (relative to Earth) are added to give some idea as to where resides most of the spin momentum in our solar system (Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn). On the one hand, the difficulties of the nebular hypothesizers escalate steeply with the realization ...
212. The Twelfth Planet: by Zecharia Sitchin [Journals] [Kronos]
... Jupiter. Half of Tiamat was then shattered to form the asteroids, while the surviving half, which became Earth, was deflected into a new orbit between Venus and Mars. Tiamat's satellite, Kingu (known to the Mesopotamians as the dragon goddess' son and consort), remained gravitationally tied to Earth and is known to us as the Moon. About 450,000 years ago, during our Middle Pleistocene Ice Age, Mesopotamia was settled by the Nefilim (which Bible translators have glossed as "giants"), the space-traveling inhabitants of Marduk. About 300,000 years ago, the Nefilim created human beings by genetically manipulating the ape-men which had evolved here. And, ...
213. Spectres [Books] [de Grazia books]
... a blazing star, ' we know from Cicero. That this blazing star' became a planet, we know from Hesiod. And that this planet was the planet Venus, we know from both Nonnos and Solinus [7 ]. Then Cardona takes up the question of the Chinese "fire pearls," or "tear drops of the Moon." These we have discussed as the tektites, which are scattered over the Earth. He concludes that they splashed upon Earth after great meteoroids or cosmic lightning discharges had blasted the Moon. Possibly it was the work of the cometary Venus, for the dragon Lung is pictured chasing a great pearl across the sky. And the fear ...
214. The Laughing Gods [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Disastrous Love Affair of Moon and Mars, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER TWELVE The Laughing Gods When Hephaestus roared out his anguish and humiliation at being cuckolded, he demanded that "Father Zeus and all you other eternal and blessed gods come here to see for yourself this laughable, this unyielding truth." But not all the gods came to gaze upon the trapped "embedded" couple at his copper-floored house. There came Poseidon, Hermes, and Apollo, all three being important Olympian sky gods. From Father Zeus came only silence. He deigned neither to appear nor to return the bride-price that Hephaestus had paid him. The "gifts ...
215. On testing The Polar configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... from something close to our basic model. For certainly, apart from the experience here proposed, neither metaphor nor make believe could have produced a set of principles coinciding so precisely with the role of the crescent in the polar configuration. Thus, the crescent will help to force the issue with conventional interpretation-which has never seen anything other than our Moon in ancient uses of the symbol. Since I will contend that the Moon has no role at all in the earliest expressions of myth, the lines are clearly drawn. To challenge the thesis, a conventional mythologist will only need to demonstrate that the original crescent's role is explicable by the present behavior of the Moon. To verify the ...
216. ALL Honorable Men [Books]
... (Velikovsky also accounted for this by means of the passage of a comet) . . . . "The third recycling of this extraterrestrial catastrophe concept was the Hoerbiger-Bellamy "World Ice Theory." First published in Germany . . . Bellamy books . . . did not have such a taint and were pure crackpottery, telling how a former Moon of Earth had crashed into the planet some 13,500 years ago, being soon afterwards replaced by the current Moon (which Velikovsky agreed was indeed captured at about that time) . . . . ". . . [H ]is ideas differed from those of Whiston, Donnelly, Hoerbiger, and Bellamy. But he [ ...
217. The Rape of Helen [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Disastrous Love Affair of Moon and Mars, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents PART TWO: GODS, PLANETS, MADNESS CHAPTER SIX The Rape of Helen It began during the furious quarrel between Odysseus and Achilles at the rich feast of the gods, sings Demodocus, "for it was at this very moment that calamity began to unroll upon both Trojans and Danaans by the plans of the Great Zeus."[1 ] The Iliad is sung as the wrath of Achilles on one level - the Poet says so - but is of a type with the battles of the sky gods recited in Scandinavian, Finnish, Hindu, Mexican, Babylonian, and ...
218. Cuneiform Astronomical Records and Celestial Instability [Books] [de Grazia books]
... : Many advanced astronomical tests written during the fifty years after Copernicus' death referred to him as a second Ptolemy' or the outstanding artificer of our age; ' increasingly these books borrowed data, computations, and diagrams. Authors who applauded his erudition, borrowed his diagrams, or quoted his determination of the distance from the earth to the moon, usually either ignored the earth's motion or dismissed it as absurd. Today, if what Kugler stated in his booklet was put into the hands of a writer with some journalistic talent, it would be the source of a runaway bestseller. It would be expedient that this writer reserve to himself the copyright to the film version, because ...

Ancient religious art invariably expressed something by means of its symbols. It would be rash therefore to assume that the spiral was an exception to this rule. All symbols did not originate in the same way. Some were conventionalized natural subjects, ...
