... which seem to describe solar eclipses. A brief survey of astronomical publications reveals at least three recorded total eclipses of the Sun before -687 (the supposed date of Velikovsky's last catastrophe) which have been considered by computers to fit the present motions. This evidence .. . strongly suggests that no unaccountable disturbance of the motion of the Earth or Moon occurred in that year. Besides, Stewart argued, calculations have been made to establish the exact change in the velocity of terrestrial rotation, and it has been found that since ancient times the length of the day has increased by one-fortieth of a second. This has been done precisely with the help of ancient eclipses, hither proof that ...
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 22 The Capture of the Planet Luna In the moonless aeon which followed the breakdown of the Tertiary satellite, the brightest of all planets, Luna, came nearer and nearer. It most probably moved in a very eccentric orbit, more elliptical, perhaps, than that of Mars at present. Luna would therefore come very close to the Earth at certain times and be far removed from it at others. The most favourable conjunctions were those when Luna was at its perihelion and Terra at its aphelion. They were, of course, extremely rare, many ten-thousands of ...
443. The Uranians [Books] [de Grazia books]
... is a conventional belief, quite disproven by Marshack, that "whereas Paleolithic art provides abundant evidence of primitive man's concern both with his own kind and with the animals which constituted his main source of food, there is apparently a complete absence of interest in the physical environment- no representations are found of the heavenly bodies, the sun, moon or stars."[9 ] Of course the uniformitarian, evolutionist model of thought would prefer to believe this, but in fact the leap to humanity was for the hominid a leap directly to gods. Marcel Baudouin, in two articles of sixty years ago, joined the paintings and the artifacts of the upper paleolithic caves of France ...
444. Dragon-Slayers (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 7 Dragon-Slayers One of the most striking features, common to every dragon myth, is the fact that none of these monsters may continue its ravages with impunity for any length of time. Every dragon has George. And the fight of the hero of light with the terror of ancient night is the glorious theme of many eternal tales. The Indians and Iranians have many myths in common, a reminder of a prehistoric time when the tribes were much more closely united than by mere ties of language. One of the most striking is that which describes the fight of ...

... more powerful than those needed to tilt the earth's axis, disturb the rotation, and destroy the landscape. There is no agent available to provide those outside forces." (24) There are also features of the orbits of both Venus and Mars which suggest a long period of relative stability. (25) Velikovsky uses the two small moons of Mars to support his case. These satellites were not discovered until 1877, but Velikovsky claims that they were known to the ancients because they had been seen clearly when Mars passed close to the earth. (26) Not only does evidence of ancient knowledge of these tiny moons fail to stand up under careful scrutiny, but their ...

... fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them into Bethel. And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven" (II Kings 23:4-5) The Scriptures do not hide the fact that in Judea, as well as in Israel, the planetary cult was the official cult with the priests and with kings, with many prophets and with the people. Thus Jeremiah, ...
447. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Allen belts around the earth". ' On 5 December 1956, through the kind services of H. H. Hess, chairman of the department of geology of Princeton University, Velikovsky submitted a memorandum to the U.S . National Committee for the (planned) IGY in which he suggested the existence of a terrestrial magnetosphere reaching the moon. Receipt of the memorandum was acknowledged by E. O. Hulbert for the Committee. The magnetosphere was discovered in 1958 by Van Allen. ' In the last chapter of his Worlds in Collision (1950), Velikovsky stated that the surface of Venus must be very hot, although in 1950 the temperature of the cloud surface of ...

... formation of our Solar System. They use the metaphor of building a new 70 storey cosmological edifice (their term) on the site of the current one. They begin by undertaking the not-too-difficult task of demolishing the current ramshackle uniformitarian cosmogony by underlining its inability to explain the formation of planets, their surface features and composition, the capture of moons, distribution of angular momentum, axial tilts, spin rates, and so on. Having done that, Patten & Windsor identify three major instances of pairing of planetary spins and axial tilts which beg explanation (Jupiter-Saturn, Uranus-Neptune, Earth-Mars). Orthodox astronomy leans toward multiple impacts by planetessimals to explain the observed planetary axial tilts, orbital ...

... Dr. Velikovsky's books and a few other works I possess, but you might find this letter is interesting enough to publish. I find the S.I .S .R . and ancient history a very rewarding study. D. A. Parry, Eastbourne. The following is a letter passed on from the Editor of the Review Moon history Sir, While I was meditating on possible sources of Moon History, it occurred to me to wonder whether there might be a core of ancient star lore fossilised in the nursery rhyme: Hey diddle, diddle, The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon. The little dog laughed To see such sport, ...
450. The Advancement of Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... democracy;"- ended up heightening the public misunderstanding of science, aroused suspicion against themselves, attracted and promoted the most narrow and bigoted scientists and propagandists to the rank of spokesmen for science; Meanwhile, the humanists and social scientists let themselves be denounced for fools, anti-scientists, and mystics, and be accused of blocking flights to the Moon and wanting to steal jobs from the natural scientists. The anti-heretics have paid no attention to the scores of heretics who have been building a case for quantavolution all these years. They have spoken of them contemptuously as a mad following that showed up to defend V. or to attack them, failing in every case that has come to ...
