... to a catastrophe when "in days of old the heavens fell down." The heavens or the clouds were so low that the people could not stand erect without touching them.(6 ) The Finns tell in their Kalevala that the support of the sky gave way and then a spark of fire kindled a new sun and a new moon.(7 ) The Lapps make offerings accompanied by the prayer that the sky should not lose its support and fall down.(8 ) The Eskimos of Greenland are afraid that the support of the sky may fail and the sky fall down and kill all human beings; a darkening of the sun and the moon will precede such ...
562. Psychoceramics [Journals] [Aeon]
... , and conceivably to one of the more significant inferences in systems analysis. Over the years I've had an amiable argument with science philosopher Lynn E. Rose of SUNY Buffalo about the lunar effect on Earth's tides, and in passing pointed out that Earth-Moon has to be considered as a single system and not as separate bodies. To wit: Moon Over Pangaea We all have been led on a fascinating tour of Pangaea over the last 500 megayears or so in a relatively recent article in Scientific American. (15) However, the authors reiterated a 50-year-old canard early in their article that "radioactive elements within the earth release heat that drives convective currents," and concluded with the ...
563. Maimonides And Spinoza, The Exegetes, Part 2 Mars Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... :13). I do not think that any person is so foolish and blind, and so much in favour of the literal sense of figurative and oratorical phrases, as to assume that at the fall of the Babylonian kingdom a change took place in the nature of the stars of heaven, or in the light of the sun and moon, or that the earth moved away from its centre. For all this is merely the description of a country that has been defeated; the inhabitants undoubtedly find all light dark and all sweet things bitter: the whole earth appears too narrow for them, and the heavens are changed in their eyes." "He speaks in a ...
564. The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont [Books]
... of Movement. The Loftiest Living Mind Soaring high o'er time and space, One God, one Holy Living Will." The various aspects of the Deity were recognised and accorded deification as separate, powerful, but subordinate gods and goddesses, supreme in their sphere, yet limited to it alone. Thus we had the Sun god, the Moon goddess, the Earthquake god, the Meteor-that-strikes god, the Hurricane god, the god of the Nether Regions, and many others. Their activities varied in a slight degree among different nations, and the influence of certain gods or goddesses in various localities was affected by local conditions around which grew myths and legends, but the general principle ...
565. The Jupiter Order [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of Thoth, and acts towards Yahweh as Hermes towards Zeus (de Grazia, 1983a). Astronomically, Mercury would have been next to Apollo, would have acquired atmosphere and debris from Apollo in the latter's outburst, then lost charge and would have been displaced towards the Sun. In so doing, he would have passed by Earth and Moon, inflicting considerable damage upon both. The lobate scarps and shallowly scalloped cliffs that run for hundreds of kilometers across Mercury's face suggest shrinkage of this planet after formation (Murray, p42). In contrast, Earth, Moon and Mars seem to have expanded (ibid., p41). In electrical terms, Mercury has lost charge ...
566. Early Historic Man - Catastrophism and Calendars [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... reigns from the first year that they came into power; nevertheless they were establishing a chronology of their forefathers, and to try to show how powerful and how intelligent their forefathers were. To establish a calendar, which means to make a computation of time, one needs some starting points. Those starting points are generally celestial bodies; the Moon, the Sun, or the stars. Those are the three which have been used throughout history, and when you do that you establish what is commonly called a calendar. The year which results of that, the calendar year, is then subdivided into periods - months, weeks, etc. - that's a question of detail into ...
567. Dynamic Evolution of a Collinear Planetary System [Journals] [Aeon]
... Jupiter in particular, were visible. The above features suggest the following configuration: A synchronous revolution of the visible planets, including Earth, possibly along circular orbits (with the exception of Mars). The fixed position of Saturn can best be explained by assuming that Earth revolved while keeping the same hemisphere turned toward the Sun (as the Moon does now with respect to Earth). Earth's axes of revolution and of rotation would have coincided and would have been orthogonal to the ecliptic plane. Earth's "day" would then have been equal to its year. The nonvisibility of the Sun can be explained by assuming that living conditions on the terrestrial hemisphere facing the Sun were inhospitable ...
568. The 360 Day Year: An Ambiguity Resolved [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... found by all experimenters. (See Mills 1975, Aschoff 1969, Webb and Agnew 1974.) Hence we may say that man would adjust swiftly and unknowingly to daylength changes. The suggestion of a free running cycle as a vestige of past conditions is intriguing, but other explanations are at hand, such as tidal cues from the zenithal moon (the lunar day is also 24.9 hours). Most measurements of duration derive from the earth's motion- but not all. Tree ring data give dates in terms of orbits, whereas atomic disintegration rates are independent of orbital changes. Tree ring records go back to 5000 B.C . and the wood making these rings ...
569. The World-Wide Losses Of Land (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... , who inhabit the Plateau of Bogota in Colombia, says that at one time in the past there happened a great flood which menaced even their elevated territory. It had been caused by Chia, the wicked wife of the good god Bochica. To punish her Bochica flung her up into the sky where she has remained ever since as the Moon. Of the loss of land in the Pacific hemisphere, only a very cursory survey can be given in this book, as a detailed discussion would fill a whole volume. Interested readers will find much valuable material in Lewis Spence's fine book, The Problem of Lemuria. In the eastern hemisphere the capture cataclysm must have been even more ...
570. Ra as Saturn [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... belief in Saturn as a sun of night? Jastrow himself explained it in this way: "It was argued [he wrote], that since there was a sun furnishing the light of day, so there must be some corresponding power which causes the illuminations of the heaven at night. Saturn was chosen - in preference even to the moon - because of the slowness of its movement, which made it visible continuously for a long period."(26) Jastrow went on to state that the light of the Moon, as well as of the planets and the stars, was, by the Babylonians, ascribed to Saturn.(27) But would the Babylonians, ...
