... like Velikovsky, plump for a cosmic cause but their culprit is a dangerous, highly charged fragment of an astronomically close supernova explosion around 17,000 years ago. They suggest that it destroyed one planet, known to us in myth as Tiamat, which used to orbit beyond Mars. Then, as Phaeton or Marduk, accompanied by Tiamat's moon Kingu, it threatened the Earth/Moon system, causing axial tilt and tectonic upheaval. In addition there were electromagnetic exchanges between all the bodies which resulted in an electrically enhanced terrestrial atmosphere and a general rise in temperatures. Thanks are due to Alan Newby for information which helped to compile this section. Any members coming across books they ...

... , that there existed a second avenue. They acknowledged that the purpose of Avebury was still a mystery. After lunch Len Saunders presented his ideas about the construction and purpose of the Stonehenge site from its earliest inception, following on from his Easthampstead Park lecture in 1999, when he spoke about his idea that a binary asteroid collision with the moon caused its orbital displacement, severely affecting the climate. He considered that this was the impetus for the construction of Stonehenge as a means of tracing the subsequent movements of the moon. A full report will appear later in C&C Review. C&C Review for 2003 Publication of this double issue (The Proceedings of Conference 2002 ...
843. Sagan vs. Sagan [Journals] [Kronos]
... Note that . . . an approach to within N Earth radii has N2 times the probability of a physical collision. Thus, for N = 10, a miss of 63,000 km, the above values of T must be reduced by two orders of magnitude." (Ten Earth radii = 1/6 the distance to the Moon.)(6 ) This would considerably improve the probability. But, instead, Sagan proceeds to give his reasons for insisting upon keeping impact rather than close approach probability (p . 98)- which he will then raise to the 6th power. 1) "The book, after all, is called Worlds in Collision. ...
844. Giants [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... , this race of giants was killed by the Flood. How are we to understand such traditions? In my opinion, the key is provided by the equally widespread tradition that in primeval times the planets used to live on earth. Here's a representative example of this theme from South America: "In days long ago the sun and the moon and all their children lived on earth...In those days the sun and the moon and everyone were human beings and lived on this earth. Sun had a son who had sores all over his body; he was the morning star...He told his uncle to carry him on his shoulders because he could not ...
845. On Sothic Dating: Some Preliminary Remarks [Journals] [Kronos]
... . 348-359); and this alone should be enough to destroy the uniformitarian presumptions of Sothic chronology. In China, for example, "questions about the calendar come into striking prominence in Chou times. . . there is hardly a single Chou bronze inscription that omits to begin with the day, the month, and the quarter of the moon" (W . Speiser, The Art of China, p. 48); and during the Chou dynasty, in 776 BC - the same date as the first year of the first Olympiad - the Sun was eclipsed. But, as recounted by the Shih Ching, this was no ordinary matter for "the sun and moon ...
846. Velikovsky and Tangun [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Seoul. The importance of Tangun to the Korean national psyche has continued to grow. Within three centuries of the Samguk Yusa, a poet like Sim Kwangse (in Rutt 1983:94) would refer to him in the following exalted manner: When did the heavens unfold? When did the earth take form? When did the sun and moon first rise? When did the trees take root? Companion was he of the moon and stars, Great as the earth and sky; born clothed with power. Although he laboured not he wrought it all, And built the state of Choson. The sun and moon combined their spirits' power To greet the god-man neath the forest ...
847. Prelude to Creation [Journals] [Aeon]
... the planet Saturn is the end result of what had previously been a sub-brown dwarf star free floating in space outside the demarcation of the Solar System. During this time, Earth was a satellite of this proto-Saturnian sub-star which, because of its proximity, loomed large in the sky as a distinct disk larger than the apparent size of the full Moon. During this same period, a nebulous disk surrounded the Saturnian primary. And, shooting straight down from what we would consider to have been proto-Saturn's south pole was a jet-like stream of plasma, a sustained Birkeland current, which appeared to ancient man as a singular, but dynamic, ray of scintillating light connecting the giant proto-planet to ...
848. Evidence of An Inversion Event? [Journals] [Aeon]
... the spin axis nutates or "nods" from a minimum inclination of 22 to a maximum of 24.5 over a period of about 40,000 years. The current inclination is about 23.5 . The precession and nutation of the Earth's spin axis is caused by a torque force created by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon on the Earth's equatorial bulge. Due to the smallness of the Moon (only one eightieth of the Earth's mass), and the great distance of the Sun, the torque in question is relatively small. However, a significant torque would be produced by a large cosmic body passing close to the Earth. This torque would be at ...
849. The Saturn Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , Deluge, Golden Age, Dragon combat, etc. were nature' myths describing the stereotypical behaviour of the two primary celestial bodies, typically in allegorical or euhemeristic fashion [16]. The Saturn theory offers a similar conclusion, with the all-important proviso that the planets formerly dominated the celestial and intellectual horizons rather than the current Sun and Moon. That the earliest gods and mythical figures of the various cultures are celestial in nature is easily shown. The Sumerian goddess Inanna, explicitly identified with the planet Venus already at the dawn of the historical period (c . 3300BC), is a case in point and might well serve as an exemplar for comparative analysis. Virtually every ...
850. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... have a modern approach to statistics. A growing number of physicists are also beginning to query the work of astronomers and their assumption of the big bang theory. ASTRONOMY Surprising Saturn (New Scientist, 21.8 .04, p. 5; 10.7 .04, p. 10) The Cassini spacecraft has discovered 2 new moons orbiting Saturn, surprising astronomers yet again because they are so small that they should have been destroyed long ago by collisions with comets. More surprises resulted from observations of Saturn's rings, with lots of ringlets with unexpectedly sharp edges. These should have been smoothed out due to collisions between particles. Some ring particles also appeared to be clumping ...
