... other constellation. Furthermore, three other cultures oriented the ring to the north or northeast. Ishtar In addition to flowing rivers, there are many deities that represent the phenomena. I am only going to review Ishtar in this paper because of her controversial nature - identified with the planet Venus, to the bow-stars Sirius and Spica and to the moon. Ishtar was known in Uruk in the 3rd millennium BC [64] and was an important Ebla deity [65]. There is also evidence that she was worshipped by the Akkadians in the time of Sargon I [66]. Consequently, she can be placed in the latter centuries of the third millennium BC. Ishtar is ...
892. Cometary Catastrophes and the Ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ago that Encke's comet and the so-called [beta] -Taurid meteor stream, also in a very similar orbit, were the remains of an original comet in an Earth-crossing orbit that broke up around 2100 BC, probably producing a lot of other fragments also. The Taurid meteor stream is certainly fairly young since we know from seismometers on the Moon that there is quite a flux of good-sized boulders as it passes through in the middle of June each year just the time of year (and stream) that produced the Tunguska missile, incidentally.

893. Cataclysms of the Earth [Books]
... " . The difference between the energy of a star and that of a planet is that in the star the energy is free and flaming, while in a planet it is captured, frozen, or occluded. The wave lengths of the essences of each are the same. Our earth has a core, possibly of fused materials resembling our moon, from which it has grown upward, epoch by epoch, to the present very large globe. Sonic soundings by echo waves, which bounce back from the core, indicate a change in the kinds of materials about half-way down between the surface and the center of the earth. The materials of the core differ from those of the ...

... a female human form) standing on top of a lion: thus Hathor on top of a lion, also Anat, Ishtar, etc [63]. We get a nice cosmic description in lines 512-5 of the Star Battle: "The threat of a burning sun' amongst the stars I saw, and the terrible wrath of a moon' wrapped in lightning; the stars had battle in their faces; God let them fight. In place of the sun' long flames interwove." Kugler interpreted these lines as referring to "two enormous meteors of the apparent size and form of the sun and moon... with their characteristic accompanying features." Actually, ...
896. THE SURFACE OF VENUS--"A NEWBORN BABE" [Journals] [Aeon]
... strongly implies that they were created in the same way under similar conditions. That is, both Venus and Io are highly volcanic and have thin crusts floating on magma: "Lunar craters, like terrestrial impact craterstend to be circular, whereas calderas do not." (16) Geophysicists have generally considered misshapen craters as volcanic structures on the Moon and on Io. However, when they observe misshapen craters on Venus in which nearly all craters over 12 miles in diameter are observed to be filled with lava and in which a percentage have lava rivers emanating from them, the scientists have changed their interpretation to suggest that the craters are no longer of volcanic origin but of impact origin ...
... . An Egyptian king kneels before a standing deity. Over the king hovers the sun disk encircled by a uraeus serpent. Behind the king stands the god Horus as a falcon wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. Behind him in turn stands Thoth as an ibis wearing on his head a horned disk in place of the appropriate moon disk and crescent. Before and behind the king is cut an Egyptian hieroglyphic inscription. There is a near border at top and bottom. 18th dynasty. 640. Serpentine. Cylinder seal. 24X9 mm. The surface is completely occupied by an unintelligible inscription in misunderstood Egyptian hieroglyphic. 12th dynasty. 641. Steatite. Cylinder seal; ...
898. Velikovsky's Legacy [Articles]
... widespread image of the star set within a crescent. Found in both Old World and New World contexts, this ancient image corresponds to nothing in the current skies. To what then could it possibly refer? Confronted with this image upon ancient Babylonian kudurru, leading scholars have routinely held that it signifies Venus set within the horns of the crescent Moon. Scholars of Moslem religion-where the star and crescent forms the leading symbol-have offered a similar opinion. But such a relationship between Venus and Moon is quite impossible from an astronomical standpoint. Why then would ancient cultures all around the world fixate upon the same imaginary image? The solution, of course, is that the crescent has absolutely no ...

... , outward toward eventual gravitational escape.(26) Although this tendency is in direct opposition to the spiralling inward of Saturn's rings, the problem is a related one. V. Szebehely and R. McKenzie have even contested G. Hill's much earlier postulate of a stable Sun-Earth-Moon system(27) and have themselves reached the conclusion that the Moon may someday escape from the Earth to become a planet.(28) The next question to ask, therefore, is: How long could the Galileans have been tugging away from Jupiter if they have not yet escaped? William Hartmann tells us that: "Tidal effects also tend to reduce the inclination of a satellite's orbit toward zero ...

... of a satellite to rotate around the center faster than its planet. If the reader does not believe this is a basic rule of planetary and satellite formation, I refer the reader to Professor of Science Willy Ley, of Fairleigh Dickinson University, who stated in 1963 and again in 1966, years before Asimov raised this attack: "The moons of Mars are interesting for two reasons. The first is that they were guessed' repeatedly before they were discovered. The second is that after their discovery it was found that a natural law, ' which had been silently accepted by everyone, did not hold true in all cases. That law' was the statement that the period ...
