772. O-Kee-Pa: Catastrophe Myths and Rituals of the North American Mandan Indians [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , the fourth god of importance was called Rohanka-Tauihanka, who lived in the planet Venus, and it is he who protects mankind on the earth; for without his care the race would have been long since extinct' [6 ]. The Mandans also worshipped the sun and most of the sacrifices were offered to cosmic bodies. In the moon, they say, lives the Old Woman Who Never Dies, and who wears a white band from the front to the back of the head' [6 ]. She had six children. The eldest daughter was the morning star - a goddess who was thought to carry bunches of feathers, the second was a star revolving about ...
773. A question for Wal (and Amy and...) [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... on Mars, we should be able to make more specific predictions about what will be found. To me, the key lies in the "remarkably pristine appearance" of the land forms on Mars (Baker, The Channels of Mars, p. 179). If Mars has no tectonic activity it should have a surface pocked like the Moon, according to the usual notions of the formation of planets. The fact that it doesn't has required some early ad hoc efficient weathering mechanism to erase most signs of the expected craters. Interestingly, from the point of view of the Polar model, the southern hemisphere contains all of the ancient "weathered" terrain and the northern hemisphere ...
774. The Hamon-Gabriel-Mars Connection (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Cardona himself notes) as to render them scant justification for hailing Is.33 :3 as a decent piece of Martian catastrophism - with or without Jerome's "insight"! Indeed, Velikovsky himself seems not to have been happy with the information supplied by Trachtenberg. He firstly notes that "in some medieval writings Gabriel is associated with the moon, but in one or two with Mars". The italicized words, I suspect, prompted Velikovsky to attempt to reinforce the Martian angle by recourse to the hamon-Hamon-Gabriel-Origenwar-Mars complex, hence his phrase "the following, however, makes the identification of Gabriel possible . . ." It was this chain of associations leading up to Is. ...
... were situated near the terminator and were only half, or partly, illuminated. It was these `eyes' which, indeed, gave the `dragon' its name: the `staring one' The darker or lighter patches which the surface of the satellite certainly also showed, patches similar to the maria and the plateaux of our present moon, were addressed as individual `heads' of the `dragon' or serpent'. The red colour of the portentous being, which is insisted on in the present myth, refers to that stage in the disintegration at which the satellite's glaciosphere has already been almost completely ripped off and the reddish oxidized, or hydroxidized, crust of ...
776. Gyroscopic Precession [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Two observations: The axis of the Earth now gyroscopically precesses something like 46 degs. in 13,000 years. The torque required to gyroscopically precess the axis of the Earth 360 degs. per year is (for me) simply mind boggling, and the possible source of this torque is not readily apparent. The orbital planes of the moons and rings of the planets are (for reasons that I've never read) roughly aligned with the equatorial planes of the planets. This suggests that in order to gyroscopically precess the rings of Saturn 360 degs. year the planet Saturn and its moons would have to be precessed at the same rate. This would require a torque (from ...
777. Worzel's Deep-Sea Ash is Volcanic [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... This result can be interpreted in either of two ways. If the ash had ever existed in outer space in sufficiently dispersed form to become strongly irradiated by cosmic rays, its "exposure" or "flight" time is <= 63,000 years. Such an exposure time is too short for an extraterrestrial origin, except from the Moon. But the Moon has been well explored since 1969, and contains no rocks resembling the Worzel ash. On the other hand, if it existed in space as part of a solid body and if my ash sample represents a true average, the radius of this body must have-been >= 15 meters. This is not an interesting ...
778. Catastrophist Geology [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... we observe them now and because we are forced to infer them from the geological record. Even such Lyellian agents as the raindrop and the sandgrain often do their work in discontinuous manners: the catastrophic erosion after a lake-spill for example, or sedimentation by turbidity current. In spite of our proclaimed uniformitarianism, catastrophist hypotheses abound the capture of the Moon, astroblemes, bursts of cosmic rays, natural nuclear reactors, the breaking up and the collision of continents. When proposed by geologists of non-catastrophist persuasion, such hypotheses are taken seriously, but when similar ideas are forwarded by less conditioned outsiders, they are regarded as evidence of lunacy simply because they violate uniformitarian dogma. Mainstream geologists often ...
779. The Causal Source for the Geological Transients at 2300BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... earthquakes, even though experience had shown their unsuitability. Response to crustal stress The next question to address is the response time of earthquakes to crustal stress. This can be investigated using analyses of earthquakes and lunar tides. Tides (cyclical sea level variations, particularly noticeable along coasts) are controlled by the combined gravitational attraction of the Sun and Moon. These attractions have the same effect on the Earth's crust, causing small movements and stresses. In the past, significant correlation between earthquakes and earth-tides was not firmly established. Tamrazyan has criticised the general approach to the correlation analyses, since he feels that they did not properly take into account the apogee and perigee times of the Moon ...
780. On That BBC Film [Journals] [Pensee]
... catastrophes which had annihilated other races," whereas in fact Worlds in Collision makes it clear that many Israelites were killed. The event which brought down the walls of Jericho is equated with that later cataclysm which caused a disturbance in the sun's motion while Joshua led the Israelites in battle. And on Velikovsky's prediction of strong remanent magnetism on the moon, the narrator quite mistakenly claims that "others expected it and said that such a prediction is not remarkable." No other such prediction has yet to be produced, and the remanent magnetism remains one of the greatest lunar puzzles for investigators. But worst of all, perhaps, is the misstatement of Velikovsky's reasoning (inevitable, it ...
