... Velikovsky for the mid-8th century. A Hymn expressing joy at his succession, if it is not speaking entirely metaphorically, might refer to a respite from the disorder documented by Velikovsky for the years after 747: "The water stands and is not dried up; the Nile lifts high. Days are long, nights have hours, and the moon comes normally." [NB this last is particularly significant as Velikovsky documents considerable lunar irregularities in WORLDS IN COLLISION for the 747 period, but for no other.] Despite the hopes expressed at the beginning of his reign, Merenptah's Egypt was invaded by Libyans and other northerners (usually classed as "Sea Peoples"), conceivably ...
802. Forum: In Defence of the Saturn Theory C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to the movement of the respective celestial bodies. To his credit, Plato succeeded in approximating the relative distances of the respective planets from the Earth. Once again, a rather lengthy quote is necessary in order to provide the flavour of Plato's system: Such was the mind and thought of God in the creation of time. The sun and moon and five other stars, which are called the planets, were created by him in order to distinguish and preserve the numbers of time; and when he had made their several bodies, he placed them in the orbits in which the circle of the other was revolving - in seven orbits seven stars. First, there was the moon ...
803. Newest Member Of Our Solar System [Journals] [Aeon]
... It did not, however, take long for Sedna to straddle astronomers with a problem. Its discoverer, Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, was so certain that Sedna boasted its own satellite that he even influenced an artist to compose and release to the media a view of the planetoid which included the hypothetical moon. Brown had based his prediction of Sedna's satellite on the planetoid's calculated slow rotation of once every forty days. This appeared too slow a motion since most of the smaller bodies in our Solar System- comets and asteroids- rotate in a matter of hours. Thus Brown reasoned that Sedna's sluggish spin could best be explained by a gravitational ...
804. The Atlantis Researches by Paul Dunbavin (Book review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of Creek Indians, the Vikings, the Pawnees, Australian Aborigines, Polynesians and South American tribes. He actually moves some material Mandelkehr dates at 2300 BC back to 3200 BC, especially Chinese traditions, and in a fairly convincing manner. Chinese myth involves the idea of heaven's pillars collapsing, rivers flowing in the opposite direction and the sun moon and stars moving from their positions in the sky. One major factor he dwells on is that the days in the year changed at 3200 BC, another idea of Velikovsky's that he seems to have appropriated. However, the evidence he presents is really very interesting. Before 3200 BC there were 360 days in the year, but thereafter ...
... reason at once becomes evident. The weight' of a body on a planet decreases when centrifugal powers become active. It would be nil at the equator, if our Earth were to spin on its axis in less than about 11 hours, things would then be thrown off, out into space. (Indeed, the genesis of our Moon has been supposed to be due to an instability of the Earth's body brought about by rapid rotation, but the idea is absolutely fortuitous because no agent can be shown which could have imparted such a rate of rotation to our planet.) According to Hoerbiger, the rotation of our Earth is due to its satellites, its speed is ...
806. Sothic Dating Redux (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... simplicity in government and business". This seems inconsistent both with the reference of the Canopus Decree to "the three hundred and sixty days, and to the five days which were afterwards ordered to be added",(1 ) and with the famous story of Thoth "winning" the extra five days in a gambling bout with the Moon. A graver, if subtler, difficulty is that Parker still provides no explanation for the supposed original decision not to intercalate a sixth epagomenal day every four years. He seems to believe that this defect was not even noticed until "very gradually the civil year, with no leap-year, advanced in the seasons and lost its harmony with ...
807. The Pentagram of Venus [Journals] [Horus]
... rotates 12.86 degrees every fifth conjunction, returning to the starting point at the 28th synod, providing a fixed reference framework for the Ninsianna data like the Dresden Codex pentagram does for modern data (Figure 7). The 28 points invite comparison with the lunar zodiac and the lunar sidereal period of 27.32 days. Since the moon was observed relative to the stellar background in those times, this suggests that they may have linked the Venusian and Lunar calendars. And granting that the 56 (2 x 28) Aubrey holes at the Stonehenge represented the zodiac, we can envision a stone every 22nd hole to mark the conjunctions of Venus. Figure 7 - The Artificial ...
808. Sky Disc of Nebra [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... key find for archaeoastronomy [. .] allows us for the first time a glimpse to the astronomical knowledge 3,600 years ago. [. .] On the disc we can see 32 stars, two of originally three curved gold bands that follow the rim edge and two complete celestial forms which are probably representations of the sun and moon or alternatively various phases of the sun or moon possibly during a solar or lunar eclipse. [. .] Following Professor Schlosser's interpretation the astronomical representation shows the seven star Pleiades constellation which were of importance in antiquity described in Hesiod. [. .] The archaeological examinations of the disc are carried out by Dr. Harald Meller. ...

... in the environment, that there was a certain amount of uranium in the beginning, and it's been breaking down ever since, and the products of this breakdown have been breaking down ever since, and eventually lead is built up to the levels which we find in the rocks today. And so when they bring a rock back from the Moon they can say, this rock is three times as old as any rock we find on Earth, and that proves, which we knew all along, that the Moon is much older than the Earth, or the Moon's surface is much older than the Earth's surface. Now as to the radioactive decay methods, there is a dating ...
810. Ascent into Dissent: The Quantavolution Books (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... for interpretation of the evidence contained in each of its volumes. The two contents are inseparable. In the ten books de Grazia examines thoroughly the evidential record surviving from antiquity for hints of physical encounters which affected the culture of mankind. This record is dotted throughout the books, but it is most prominent in The Disastrous Love Affair of the Moon and Mars, where the theme of Homer's Iliad -is compared to the battles between planets in the first and second pre-Christian millennia. This book, -by the way, was the first of the series. It was de Grazia's test case: if Velikovsky's method was sound then the Great Classics-ought to be decodable into a cataclysmic scenario. He ...
