... year of Belshazzar and the last year of Nebuchadnezzar. The previous severely damaging 28 close approach of Venus can be dated to 620 BC, the 18th year of the reign of king Josiah of Judah, because after it he introduced a new calendar. We know that the Venus event of 620 BC changed the orbits of both Earth and the Moon because, late in the 7th century BC, Thales the Milesian determined the new course of the Sun and discovered the seasons of the year and Solon, another sage of the same period, adjusted the months to the new motion of the Moon after finding that the time from one new Moon to another was ½ a day shorter than ...

... bull as punishment for her husband's refusal to sacrifice to Poseidon a beautiful bull that he sent. She gave birth to the Minter, half man, half bull. It was kept in the labyrinth built by Daedalus. The name Pasiphae means shining on all'. The name could well be given to a bright heavenly body such as the moon, or a comet. Q-CD vol 12: KA, Ch. 6: Sky Links 98 The story is rather similar to the story from Ugarit about Anath and Baal. An announcement is made that a wild ox is born to Baal, a buffalo to the Rider of the Clouds. This chapter would be incomplete without reference to ...
913. The Social Impact of Velikovsky on our Generation [Articles]
... For now, out of the dawn-darkness, germinated life is about to make its appearance. The sun, reaching the southern end of its journey at the Winter Solstice, is ready to return and give strength to budding life. To all this Soyal is dedicated to give aid and direction. It occurs during December, Kelmuya, the Respected Moon, and is scheduled to take place during Soyala [Time of the Winter Solstice]. the period between the first appearance of the first quarter moon and the last appearance of the last quarter moon. The determination of its beginning date is tied in with solar observations, which determine the time of the Winter Solstice. Beginning with the ...

... anyhow). He declared that the observations in the Venusian tablets of Ammizaduga came from erroneous reportings of lunar movements that, in turn, had been used by the Babylonians to measure the movement of Venus. An amateur, he said, would transfer his ignorance of the ancient reports into a wrong interpretation that it was Venus, not the Moon, that was moving erratically. He declared emphatically that from their beginnings around 700 B.C . there were no unexplainable irregularities. (He kept reasserting, and I had to stave off as not relevant to the argument, which was the empirical facts re the tablets, that the whole V. thesis was mechanically impossible, that ...

... , claimed to have derived it from an almost primordial Chaldean source [n15 Actually, he (and others) claimed that the book was written by three (or even more) authors, namely Ssagrit, Janbushad, and Qutama. The first living in the seventh thousand of the 7000 years of Saturn — which he ruled together with the Moon — the second at the end of the same millennium, the third appeared after 4000 years of the 7000-year cycle of the Sun had passed; so that between the beginning and the end of the book 18,000 solar years have passed (according to Maqrizi). See D. Chwolson, Die Ssabier und der Ssabismus (1856 ...

... , despite occasional localized upheaval, cosmic forces remained the preeminent concern of the ancients. At times, in almost frenetic desperation, they would switch Planetary allegiance, like betters at a roulette wheel, in the hope of winning heavenly and divine favor. (20) Eventually, well-nigh all astral deities came to be equated with the Sun or Moon as the power of the ancient gods was diminished through rationalization, obliviscence, and the acceptance of the present cosmic arrangement as being retroactively constant, eternal and unalterable. The Fountain of Forgetfulness In order to avoid a "mental overload" the human mind is geared to repel and filter out excessive stimuli and, that being the case, ...
917. The Organization of the Solar System [Journals] [Aeon]
... has 71%. Saturn (at .9 billion miles) has another 21%. Uranus (at 1.8 billion miles) and Neptune (at 2.8 billion miles) have another 3.25% and 3.75% respectively. But the inner four, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars (plus the Moon) collectively account for less than 1/2 % of the total planetary mass. In a galactic capture hypothesis, it is logical to look to the more distant regions of the solar system for the largest planets. They were ripped off of Planet X first, when it was farther out, while approaching (slowly). In ...
918. The Ramesside Star Tables [Journals] [SIS Review]
... The only independent timing device which we know of as being available to the ancient Egyptians is the water clock, and we must therefore suppose that the time of transit of these stars was recorded with the help of such a clock. No doubt the water clock was itself originally calibrated by observations of intervals between stars (probably the sun, moon and planets as well); what the present tables principally show, therefore, is that the calibration was no longer working as it once did. It was evidently still working during much of the first two to three months of the year, however (assuming that the minor aberrations of stars Jj/Jk in Tables 1-5 can safely ...

... of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night, he who encamped with them and whose very same manifestations emerged from the sacred enclosure that Moses had built for him. There is a naive myth, founded indeed upon the very words and acts of Moses, that the Israelites shunned the gods of the sky-the sun and moon, planets, and stars and would not fashion religious images. Although Yahweh is reconciled to the existence of other gods, he is zealous to be first and exclusive with his chosen people, on pain of their destruction. Yet the people knew there was more to the sky-scene than Yahweh. Heaven to the people of Israel was a ...

... quasar red shifts and the formation of plasmoids at the centre of active galactic nuclei (AGN's). Other objects do glow. The night side of Venus for example has a glow that can be photographed, yet its night is so long that it should have no ionosphere to speak of on the dark side. The dark side of the Moon is bathed in x-rays. The outer planets all radiate more energy than they receive from the Sun. There is however a fundamental difference between the light from the Sun and that from the planets. It is also known that a DC corona discharge from very small wires requires very high current before a luminous discharge appears from positive wires. ...
