... to look for it. But a few thousand years ago Saturn dominated the earth as a sun, presiding over a universal Golden Age. Modern man considers it self-evident that our familiar heavens differ hardly at all from the heavens encountered by the earliest star worshippers. He assumes that the most distinctive bodies venerated in primitive times were the sun and moon, followed by the five visible planets and various constellations- all appearing as they do today, but for such ever-so-slight changes as the precession of the equinoxes. This long-standing belief not only confines present discussion of ancient myth and religion; it is the fixed doctrine of modern astronomy and geology: every prevailing theory of the solar system and ...
472. The "So-Called" Fixed Sothic Date of Sesostris III, 1872 B. C. [Journals] [Kronos]
... the civil calendar tied to the heliacal rising of Sirius after an absence of seventy days, every year at the same time in mid July, in the eastern sky just before dawn. The reappearance of this very bright star coincided with the annual flooding of the Nile. Now the feasts of Ancient Egypt were governed by the phases of the moon, eg., the feast of the harvest goddess Renutet, while at full moon there was a great feast at harvest time. This would have been at the same time every year and could easily have been the first moon after the rising of Sirius, also at the same time every year ( 17-19 July). Only the ...
473. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of the cycle with an exaggerated show of blood. Knight's scenario is that women and their young, protected by their young male offspring, remained at a home base, literally keeping the home fire burning. With a synchronised menstrual cycle they would effectively say no' to the men by a show of blood around the time of the dark Moon, driving them away from the home base by aggressive behaviour, of which premenstrual tension may well be a remnant. An organised hunt of large ice-age mammals would take days of tracking and trapping, aided by the ever increasing light of the waxing Moon. A return with meat at full Moon would initiate days of feasting for all and ...
474. Mons Veneris [Journals] [Aeon]
... great triad in the sky. (54) The utukku lemnutu text, for example, reads as follows: "They [the gods] installed Sin, Samas, and Istar to keep the firmament (the vault of heaven) in order." (55) In the Sumerian god Sin, most scholars recognize a personification of the Moon. (56) That Sin is identifiable with the Moon during the period encompassed by the Enuma Anu Enlil texts (c . 686 BC), for example, is obvious. The question here, however, is whether this identification holds with regard to the role of Sin in the earliest art and literature? In ancient myth and ...
475. Fractures and Cleavages [Books] [de Grazia books]
... but cleaving the Earth rapidly at the full depth of the continental crust, it veered sharply eastwards slicing through the then polar south region until it met with the westward shifting "American" continents, whereupon it veered northwards until it reached the northwestern fork of the north polar fracture. It skirted the eastern rim of the great pit of the Moon material that had been blasted up and away. A secondary forking sent the fracture northwards shortly after the south polar fracture occurred, slicing through "Africa/India," then, after crossing the Tethyan fracture, resumed in diminished depth its course across central Asia. Meanwhile the initial point of rupture at the old North Pole sent a ...
476. The Tide, Part 1 Venus Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Tide The ocean tides are produced by the action of the sun and to a larger extent by that of the moon. A larger body than the moon or one nearer to the earth would act with greater effect. A comet with a head as large as the earth, passing sufficiently close, would raise the waters of the oceans miles high.(1 ) The slowing down or stasis of the earth in its rotation would cause a tidal recession of water toward the poles,(2 ) but the celestial body near by would disturb this poleward recession, drawing the water ...
477. Velikovsky in Shakespeare [Articles]
... 30 - 32. We think of the evidence Dr. Velikovsky presents in Earth in Upheaval of rock fissures choked with massed broken fragments of bones.[4 ] She herself, if considered a heavenly body consistent with the major personages, is drawn from Octavius to Antony, and then back to Octavius again, as if she represented the Moon, and her final return to the orbit of Earth is surprisingly tranquil, with no accompanying army, no troop of horses, no noise or debris, as may have been the case earlier. Nay, the dust Should have ascended to the roof of heaven, Raised by your populous troops. 3.6 .48- 50 ...
478. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the universe only in the few wavelengths of visible light seen from the surface of the Earth. Now we have expanded our vision into the ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma-ray in the short wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum and into infrared, microwave, and radio in the long wavelengths. We can view at close range the surfaces of planets, moons, asteroids and comets. We can even touch and chemically "taste" them. The new discoveries accent the unexpected- a sign that something is wrong at the level of theoretical assumptions. In fact, two of the most far-reaching discoveries of the past century came as great surprises: the pervasive role of charged particles or plasma in ...
479. Investigating the Mound-Builders' Astronomy [Journals] [Horus]
... served a purely ceremonial purpose in the astronomical festivals. It is located in the Ohio River Valley flats, surrounded by high valley walls, and is a poor location for viewing the horizon. Instead, it seems much more likely the raised Lookouts were the actual observation stations, mutually aligned for marking the solstice and possibly astronomical cycles involving the Moon, planets, or bright stars to mark other important festival days. There is some implication that the astrological lore of these people may have been complex. An inscription found in Europe in the same alphabet and language as the Grave Creek tablet has been translated as follows: "Various ways of making a prediction - the planets reveal indications ...
480. Velikovsky like theory of gravity and magnetism [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... premises 1 and 2 we can conclude that a person on a large spinning space platform would experience a gravitational pull toward the centre of the oblate spheroid frame say comprising the space platform proportional to its magnetic field which can be determined by varying the angular velocity as well as the mass (density and radius) of the platform. Consider the moon whose magnetic field is less than measurable at the present time and whose omega is 1/27.32 of that of the Earth (6 .28/(86400sec)) and whose R is 1738km versus 6378km for the Earth and whose rho is estimated at 3.34gm/cm3 versus 5.4gm/cm3 for the ...
