... The Book of Moses is accepted as the infallible scriptural record and Moses is regarded as living in the era of the Flood. However, in Genesis, Ch. 1, verse 14, Moses relates of the time when there were seasons before the advent of night and day – even though it was the two greater lights (Sun and Moon) that brought night and day to his era 3,500 years before theFlood. Therefore, both the event of the Deluge and the event of the Flood appear to have been merged in the telling, but I consider that each of these events marked the end of one era and the beginning of the next, with the upheaval ...
592. Babylonians and Persians: The Business Archives [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... on tablets written in the same cities in the same months. Therefore, there must be at leastone extra year between Cambyses and Darius; possibly two, or even three. Does it matter? The main effect is to destroyall Ptolemy's astronomical calculations, as you cannot lose a year and make correct calculations of the positions of the Sun and Moon. Furuli raises the further question; if it were not for the Behistun inscription would the tablets ascribed to Nebuchadrezzar III and IV have been allocated to Nebuchadrezzar II? The reverse could also apply; how many of the business tablets allocated to Nebuchadrezzar II really belong to the other two kings bearing the same name? Furuli then argues that ...
593. Thoth Vol III, No. 12: Aug 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... Also, he mentioned that there are legends concerning precipitation of salty water. That would be direct confirmation of the extraterrestrial or atmospheric source of sodium chloride since it is impossible to evaporate NaCl along with water in the usual weather cycle. With Kervran's new insight, Saturn need not be the direct origin of chlorine. The fact that Saturn's large moon, Titan, has a nitrogen atmosphere may indicate that Saturn is a source of nitrogen instead. In fact, Saturn is known to have an atmosphere of hydrogen, ammonia and methane which provides all of the raw materials necessary, along with oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere, to produce the salty water, hydrocarbons and sulphur mentioned ...
594. Earth In A Vice. Ch.9 Axis Shifted (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... its orbit varied during its history?" and proceeds: "The answer to [this] question is a definite Yes! ' The theory of tidal friction . . . assumes the equator and the plane of the earth's and moon's orbits to coincide. The fact [is] that they do not...."1 The moon, it is assumed, issued from the equatorial region of the earth by the process of disruption and must, therefore, revolve in the plane of the terrestrial equator; but since it does not, there must have been a displacement either of the moon or of the terrestrial axis; and the position of the moon close to the ...
595. Emperor Yahou, Part 1 Venus Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... from memory or from some hidden manuscript after the burning of books by Tsin-chi-hoang. In its oldest section, the canon of Yaou [Yahou], it is written: "Thereupon Yaou [Yahou] commanded He and Ho, in reverent accordance with the wide heavens, to calculate and delineate the movements and appearances of the sun, the moon, the stars, and the zodiacal spaces; and to deliver respectfully the seasons to the people."(8 ) The necessity, soon after the flood, of finding anew the four directions and learning anew the movements of the sun and the moon, of delineating the zodiacal signs, of compiling the calendar, of informing the ...
596. Isaiah, Part 2 Mars Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land" (13:5 ). The world will be darkened. "The stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth [in the forenoon], and the moon shall not cause her light to shine" (13:10). The world will be thrown off its axis: the heavenly host "will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger" (13: ...
597. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... : Who is it that makes her such bother? Har says: It is a couple of wolves; and the one that runs after her is named Skoll. Him she fears, and I dare say he will take her, but the one who runs before her, his name is Hate Hrodvitnesson, and he wants to take the moon, and he sure will." (Snorri's EDDA I:11, my translation, where I tried to render the archaic style.) In my opinion it is obvious that some celestial phenomenon is being described. The description does not fit with an occasionally appearing atmospheric phenomenon. Skoll follows the Sun all the time and makes her ...
598. The Waters that Never Really Parted [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . Taxonomic, zoogeographic, and palaeontological analysis of the endemics within the broader situation of other geographical distributions of groups of species, would set a lower limit upon the deduced approach of the visitor to Earth, hardly closer than in the order of 60 to 70 Earth radii, or about 400,000 km, similar to the Earth to Moon distance. Even this would have raised tides that in some areas of narrowing channels would have been gigantic. A self extending tide or tidal bore could have rushed up the Indus Valley, which does not seem to be reflected in the archaeological remains. At near lunar distance, the visitor would have had about 60 times the earthquake inducing ...
599. Did Saturn Explode Twice? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... process, mankind was overwhelmed by a deluge. In Earth in Upheaval, Velikovsky states there is evidence of more than one flood. After the collapse of Saturn, it was pulled closer to the Sun with which it formed a binary system once again and reclaimed Earth as its satellite. Now, however, Saturn was more like a glorified moon than a real sun. We know now that Yahweh was identified with Saturn. I had considered the possibility that the story of the creation and the post deluge period of Genesis were different versions of the same story but later discounted this theory. It is after the creation of the light in Genesis 1:3 that Yahweh creates the ...
600. Sothic Dating: the Shameless Enterprise [Journals] [SIS Review]
... it is a year (K6) ' [18]. Porten achieved four precise synchronisms of documents containing complete month and day dates: C5, K4, K5 and K10. Of these, C5 may actually belong in the category of those that are off by a day (but might synchronise if written at night) because the new moon might have been visible a day later than the perfect synchronism assumes [19]. Furthermore, the validity of the K10 synchronism is dependent on the assumption that the regnal year date was an Egyptian regnal year rather than a Babylonian one for, as discussed by Porten in connection with C25:1 , During the period between 1 Thoth ...
