... From: Kronos Vol. XI No. 3 (Summer 1986) Home | Issue Contents Kadmos: The Primeval King Ev Cochrane INTRODUCTION In a few of' his various works, Immanuel Velikovsky discussed the myths and traditions surrounding Kadmos, the legendary founder of Thebes. It was Velikovsky's belief that Kadmos had a historical background. He suggested that Kadmos was actually the Ugaritic king Nikmed who, having suffered a forced migration at the hands of Assyrian conquerors, brought the Hebrew alphabet to Greece in the first millennium B.C .E . It is the purpose of this paper, however, to show that a far more ancient figure lies behind the myth of Kadmos. PLANETARY ...
262. The Stream Surrounding the Earth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the celestial waters, in most cultures, goes back to very ancient times, and is associated with the process of creation. Gaster and Brinton recognise and discuss the primality' of water, in that in essentially all cultures, there is a tradition of water existing before anything else [2 ]. Clark also recognises the commonality of myths, that before the beginnings of all things was the Primordial Abyss of Waters, stretching endlessly in all directions [3 ]. The circularity of the ring extending from horizon to horizon is reflected in the water being described as issuing forth from or disappearing into an abyss, otherwise alluded to as a cistern, tank, reservoir or pool ...

... express themselves in bizarre forms of fear. Occasionally they may be converted into symptoms of compulsion neuroses and even contribute to the splitting of the personality." (2 ) And Velikovsky's hypothesis of a "collective amnesia" speculates that whole nations "erased" terrifying cosmic cataclysms and buried them so deeply in their unconscious that when they appeared in myths and folklore they were read as allegories or metaphors rather than as the cataclysmic experiences themselves. (3 ) But literary men seem not to be the only mythmakers of a society. Indeed, the mythic process - that which makes the myth come alive seems not to be exclusively represented in the images and symbols used by the literati, ...

265. Velikovsky and Tangun [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History XI:2 (July 1989) Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky and Tangun Duane Leroy Vorhees 1. Introduction Immanuel Velikovsky and his successors, the so-called Saturnists in particular, have challenged conventional notions about the history of our solar system. According to their analyses of ancient myths and other records, within human memory the Earth was badly damaged by cosmic disturbances involving planetary bodies. Velikovsky's own brand of catastrophism evolved out of his equally revolutionary revision of ancient chronology. According to his scenario, around 1500 B.C . the close fly-by of a cometary Venus caused widespread terrestrial destruction and closed a cultural era. In response, survivors created or transformed ...
266. Predicting the Past: An Exploration of Myth, Science and Prehistory by Roger Williams Wescott (Reviewed) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2001:2 (Jan 2002) Home | Issue Contents Predicting the Past: An Exploration of Myth, Science and Prehistory by Roger Williams Wescott by Roger Williams Wescott, Kronos Press, 2000 Reviewed by Jill Abery This book was advertised in C&CR 2001:1 , p. 33 (with purchasing details) as a summation of Roger Wescott's thoughts regarding mythology, human prehistory and catastrophism. For those unacquainted with Wescott's work it remains to be said that he spent his working life mainly in the field of linguistics and his many publications come with a deserved authority in this discipline. In less orthodox fields he was an eager Velikovskian ...
267. The Mixtec Tree of Origin [Journals] [Aeon]
... the base from which the "T " structure seems to grow. Von Hagen's caption reads: "Mixtec art forms resemble the Aztec. Mixtec civilization beginning as early as 700 B.C ., was centered about Cholula. The illustration is taken from a part of a Mixtec codex, an origin-myth." Now I have always loved myths of origin, so I had to get to the bottom of this. What else could I find out? The Mixtec (pronounced "Mishtek") lived in what is now central Mexico. They conquered and were conquered by the coastal Olmecs, highland Toltecs and, finally, the Aztecs. They manufactured paper and had mastered a ...

... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 5 Fall of Cosmic Material Leaving the myths of the observation of the disintegration of the Tertiary satellite for a while, we shall now try to discover where the cosmic material which was showered down upon Earth is to be found. Generally speaking, three different kinds of material came down: water from the satellite's ice-coat; the floor deposits of the satellite's shoreless ocean; and the bigger or smaller blocks into which its metallo-mineral core was riven. The water was used to replenish the depleted supplies of the Earth, to swell the terrestrial oceans. We can gather from ...

... not lit because the general public did not understand what was implied, and those who were competent to understand the implications were not psychologically ready to draw the inevitable conclusions. The pressing warning' that Kugler wanted to communicate to the public was summed up by him as: the momentous doctrine that ancient traditions, even when they are dressed as myth and saga, cannot be dismissed lightly as fantastic, or worse, meaningless fabrications. It is particularly proper to avoid this pitfall when dealing with serious reports, especially those of religious nature such as those that occur in large number in the Old Testament. He applied this general theory to the interpretations of the ancient texts that deal with ...
