... Immanuel Velikovsky, author of World in Collision. At the heart of Velikovsky's controversial thesis was a seemingly outrageous idea. He claimed that planets, moving on quite different courses than observed today, formerly disturbed the motions of the Earth and caused great destruction to ancient nations. These extraordinary events, Velikovsky claimed, are recorded in ancient chronicles, myths and rites around the world, sources that are simply incomprehensible in terms of celestial motions today. Velikovsky contended that the planet Venus, just a few thousand years ago, possessed a spectacular, comet-like "tail" and its orbit intersected that of the Earth. Though Velikovsky's interest in the subject began with a reading of biblical accounts of ...

274. The Saturn Myth: A Tentative Physical Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon I:4 (Jul 1988) Home | Issue Contents The Saturn Myth: A Tentative Physical Model Robert Driscoll 1. Introduction The Saturn myth may be daunting to many because it seems to defy the basic "laws" of physics (1 ) . However, the literature of modern catastrophism now includes components which may be combined into a tentative model capable, qualitatively, of exhibiting key phenomena described in the Saturn myth. On the other hand, the crucial quantitative aspects of the model- the limits, due to basic physical law, within which it could have come into real existence, evolved, and disappeared- are yet to be evaluated, and ...
275. Commemoration Of The 2300bc Event [Journals] [SIS Review]
... he is not directly subjected to nearby low altitude fragmentation. If Earth encountered a mass of meteoroids, the words awesome', terrifying', devastating', chaotic' and overpowering' would be inadequate to describe the experience. Likelihood of Death and Destruction due to Flooding Accompanying the Meteoroid Fall The meteoroid fall on the Earth is described in myths in terms of thunderbolts thrown by the most important deities of each culture. Authors such as Dundies and Doane have identified parallel flood stories in all mythologies [26]. Bellamy [27] appears to be the only investigator to note that the meteoroid fall and flooding appear to happen together in many traditions. Unusually, the reported floods ...
276. The Bible Myth : The African Origins Of The Jewish People by Gary Greenberg (Book review) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... CONTENTS From: The Velikovskian Vol. V, No. 1 THE BIBLE MYTH : THE AFRICAN ORIGINS OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE Secaucus, N.J . : Citadel Press, 1996. 308 Pages By: Gary Greenberg Reviewed by: Lynn E. Rose The title and subtitle of this book are somewhat broader than the content. For Greenberg does not reject all of the Bible as myth, only the earlier portions of Biblical history. Often, Greenberg treats even the origin accounts more as garbling or transmogrifications than as fabrications. Thus, it is significant that he does not deny that there was an Exodus, that there was a Moses, that there was a David, ...
277. Matters Arising [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... not readily fit into Velikovskian concepts. Perhaps one of your members has some ideas and can place Apollo in his rightful place?" A number of SIS members have voiced their opinions and we have compiled from them the following response. The conventional identification for Apollo is that of a sun god. Robert Graves, a notable authority on Greek myths, observed that Apollo was identified with "the immortal Sun"(1 ) He made the proviso that the Sun had a very minor role in early Greek myths, however, and made the suggestion that the cult of Apollo as a solar deity may have come late, possibly as a result of the influence of the solar-type Aten ...
278. Solar System Studies [Journals] [Aeon]
... tranquility. Many of those involved in this effort are contributors to The Cataclysm. One of our goals will be to reconstruct, on the basis of mythical and historical data, as many details as possible about former ages. Another goal will be to see what kind of physical considerations might account for some of these details. In The Saturn Myth David N. Talbott put together an astonishing heavenly scene described endlessly in the early mythology of man. Others have added to his work. But ultimately a theory based on myth must dovetail with our understanding of the physical events which shaped planetary bodies. The golden age of Solar System studies is now. Space age technology is extending our ...

... past, with the corollary that it was intensity that produced the vivid memories of events, then the ancient sources of western peoples and the oral traditions of non-western peoples take on a greater significance as historical memories that can guide us to additional insights into the past and partially substitute for written chronological records. Interpreters of what is euphemistically labeled "myth" forget that intensity of experience is the dimension that marks us apart from other forms of life since it impresses certain incidents upon our memories and helps to structure our conception of things by providing convenient paradigms for future comparisons. Too often the interpreter of "myths" concentrates on the similarity of the symbols and seeks to gather these symbols ...

... never been contested.(12) Anat's identity as Venus can therefore be considered as established. We ask then: Whose child was Anat? The answer is not hidden. As William Albright explained: "The figure of Anath can be better understood in the light of several Egyptian accounts of the goddess, questionably translated from an original Canaanite myth . . ." (13) In one of these Egyptian accounts, Anat's father is alluded to as Re (or Ra).(14) That the Egyptian Ra was originally Saturn, I have already indicated elsewhere.(15) But, because it has long been assumed by conventional mythologists that Ra personified the Sun, ...
