... sword can do them no harm. In similar terms the Vedic hymns describe the conquest by this terrible host. If there is any doubt as to the nature of the "terrible ones," the following words would dissipate it: JOEL 2:10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble; the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. Maruts are often called "shakers of heaven and earth." VEDIC HYMNS You shake the sky. The terrible ones . . . even what is firm and unshakable is being shaken. When they whose march is terrible have caused the rocks to tremble, or when the ...
832. The Quarters of the World Displaced, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the gloom that endured for a generation, observations were impossible and very difficult when the light began to break through. The Kalevala relates that "dreaded shades" enveloped the earth, and "the sun occasionally steps from his accustomed path."(7 ) Then Ukko-Jupiter struck fire from the sun to light a new sun and a new moon, and a new world age began. In Völuspa (Poetic Edda) of the Icelanders we read: No knowledge she [the sun] had where her home should be, The moon knew not what was his, The stars knew not where their stations were. Then the gods set order among the heavenly bodies. The Aztecs ...
833. The Darkness, Part 1 Venus Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... period of time equal to a few days. Tribes of the Sudan to the south of Egypt refer in their tales to a time when the night would not come to an end.(7 ) Kalevala, the epos of the Finns, tell of a time when hailstones of iron fell from the sky, and the sun and the moon disappeared (were stolen from the sky) and did not appear again; in their stead, after a period of darkness, a new sun and a new moon were placed in the sky.(8 ) Caius Julius Solinus writes that "following the deluge which is reported to have occurred in the days of Ogyges, a heavy ...
834. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... variation on the rivers of blood theme are waters red with washed-off war paint. The monster to be overcome is the Great Bear of the Mountains and his slayer the West Wind, one of the four sacred quarters and father of Hiawatha in a very Zeus-like manner with the seduction of the daughter of a goddess who had fallen from the full moon'. Another son, the East Wind, dallied with a maiden whom he changed into the Morning Star. If all this catastrophism is not of Red Indian mythological provenance, could any literary member please enlighten me as to Longfellow's sources? Jill Abery, Sittingbourne, Kent Eruptive Origins, etc Dear Sir, In Workshop 1990:1 ...
835. "It Is Hard To Quarrel With Numbers". File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... the nature of evidence, that any considerable number of people will be fooled by a sloppy parade of the jargon of a dozen fields of learning? Evidently a great national magazine [Harper's], and a publisher who has in the past handled great works of science, believe that they will. She compared Worlds in Collision to the Great Moon Hoax, which was published a century ago as a story of intelligent beings presumably observed on the moon by Sir John Herschel, through a telescope in South Africa (he had nothing to do with the hoax), and expressed her fear that it would have a similar monetary success. "The road to fame and fortune for the ...
836. The Rotating Crust. Ch.8 Poles Displaced (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... of the entire globe, the friction between the crust and the substratum must be overcome; and because of the equatorial bulge, in order to alter the position of the crust, it must be stretched in some parts. This would require the application of a great force, which does not appear to exist in tidal friction originating in the moon. Furthermore, the tidal force acts on the surface of the earth in an east-west direction; and a change in this direction would not disturb the position of the latitude in relation to the pole and could not have been the cause of the ice ages. Eddington's theory requires the sliding of the crust northward and southward; to explain ...
837. Thoth Vol III, No. 10: July 30, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... . In March this year, I wrote: .. . When I look at exposed strata on Earth, with the sharp physical and colour (often implying chemical) differences we see, I am more disposed to the extraterrestrial origin theory. That is particularly the case when a distinctive sequence appears globally. When we find stratification on the Moon and smaller, tectonically inert and unweathered objects we should be highly sceptical of geological models of their formation. .. . On 2 June this year, a NASA report said: .. . Hammergren found that very elongated asteroids are never seen to be rotating faster than once every four hours. In contrast, more spherical asteroids can ...
838. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... God Particle. The "aether" is back, but you may not recognize it as such. They're still doggedly looking for Ms. Higgs. There are a few mistakes scattered throughout the book, most of which are minor, but they are of enough consequence to mention in this review: For example, laser signals bounced off the Moon do not take 1.0 second for the round trip (p . 132), but require some 2-1/2 seconds, as light travels 186,282 miles per second and the Moon averages about 239,000 miles distance from Earth. Also, it's stated that we've yet to find an element in space that we don't ...
839. A Continent Torn Apart. Ch.6 Mountains And Rifts (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... in a relatively recent subsidence was torn apart and drowned. The subsidence of the Gondwana continent could have caused a strain on western Asia and Africa, and under this tension the land must have been rent and the Great Rift formed. Gregory wrote: "The nearest approach in size [to the Rift] can probably be found on the moon, whose clefts or rills no doubt represent long, steeply walled valleys and present to us much the same aspects as this East African valley would do to any inhabitants of our satellite. Not the least interesting of the points raised by the African-Red-Sea-Jordan depression is the possibility that it may explain the nature of those lunar clefts which have so ...
840. The Climatic Breakdown (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... between the floes the cracks and holes froze over. The unsteady, highly eccentric orbital movement of Luna in its early days as our satellite allowed the terrestrial gravitation to smash the solidifying glaciosphere again and again, and continually caused great volumes of water to spout and well up.69 The `steam' which the violent ebullition produced wrapped the Moon in a dense `atmosphere' of ice-vapour, which, of course, it could not retain because of its insufficient gravitation. The frozen vapour escaped into space in the form of microscopic, almost molecular, ice-crystals. They were small enough to become subjected to the pressure of the solar radiation and were therefore `blown away' out ...
