... Why, then, do we insist that the respective planets were important players in these cultures? Well, for one thing, we are not alone in this belief. For several decades now, the words of Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend have served as a rallying cry for those of us who believe that ancient astronomical conceptions pervade myth: "The real actors on the stage of the universe are very few, if their adventures are many. The most ancient treasure'- in Aristotle's word- that was left to us by our predecessors of the High and Far-Off Times was the idea that the gods are really stars, and that there are no others. The ...
212. The Saturn Myth: Contents [Books]
... pillars grew out of ancient Saturn worship. Talbott contends that Saturn's appearance at the time, radically different from today, inspired man's leap into civilization, since many aspects of early civilization can be seen as conscious efforts to re-enact or commemorate Saturn's organization of his "celestial" kingdom. A fascinating look at ancient history and cosmology, The Saturn Myth is a provocative book that might well change the way you think about man's history and the history of the universe. David N. Talbott is the founder and former publisher of Pensee, and out-growth of the Student Academic Forum which developed the book, Velikovsky Reconsidered. He is also the co-author of The Ecstasy of Sati-Ra, a cosmological ...
213. Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning [Books]
... these stories, - - Eusebius, early in our 4th century, asserting in his Praeparatio Evangelica The ancients believed that the legends about Osiris and Isis, and all other mythological fables [of a kindred sort], have reference either to the Stars, their configuration, their risings and their settings, etc. And Proctor wrote in his Myths and Marvels of Astronomy that the chief charm of this study does not reside in the wonders revealed to us by the science, but in the lore and legends connected with its history, the strange fancies with which in old times it has been associated, the half-forgotten myths to which it has given birth. Yet these myths, old ...
214. Diluvial and Prelunar Culture (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 29 Diluvial and Prelunar Culture In the foregoing pages we have repeatedly referred to the high standard of civilization of the diluvians. They built ships to escape from the Great Flood, they dwelt in cities, they erected pyramids, they observed the heavens with minute care, and so on. It may be objected that we have deduced this only from those fanciful tales, the myths. But there is other evidence of the achievements of our remote ancestors, and in this chapter we shall consider part of it. We must differentiate between the actual diluvians, the people ...
215. A Celtic Destruction Myth: 'Togail Bruidne Da Derga' [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Proceedings of The Third Seminar of Catastrophism and Ancient History (1986) Home | Issue Contents A Celtic Destruction Myth: Togail Bruidne Da Derga Dorothea Kenny When Immanuel Velikovsky began to consider the Exodus stories as records of a series of real catastrophes, he canvassed many mythological systems in search of contradiction or corroboration. But, widely as he cast his net, he did not take in the Celtic area. Had he done so, he would have found material to interest him. Several myths recorded in Gaelic and Welsh provide the Celtic evidence of catastrophe. These stories are not simple. Like much of Celtic myth they would have been understood- at a superficial level ...

218. Thoth Vol II, No. 16: Oct 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... . And they find ways; art, drama, books, universities, the internet; to preserve and communicate these fantasies to other humans. In recent centuries, scientists have fantasized that the world has been stable for much longer than the human species has existed. In order to accept this fantasy, they've also had to imagine that the myths of the ancients were not just fiction, but untrue, devoid of any meaning beyond symbolism. Because at face value, the myths tell a contradictory story: one of instability and catastrophe. But denying the myths wasn't a difficult step to take, because the myths are "fiction." They violate the common sense and mathematics which ...

220. The Paleo-Saturnian System [Journals] [Aeon]
... general vicinity of Ethiopia to spread across the Levant and North Africa. From what I have read so far, the traditions of the polar sun and perpetual darkness [14] seem to be concentrated around the Eastern hemisphere, and not the north as we know it today. (We do not, for instance, come across any Saturn myths from Mesoamerica, while Amazonian traditions speak of a perpetual day rather than a perpetual night.) In the Book of Genesis it is stated (my own translation from the Hebrew): "YHWH planted a garden in Eden from ancient/early times and placed there the man." [15] This verse seems to indicate that ...
