Catastrophism: Man, Myth and Mayhem in Ancient History and the Sciences

... our collective behaviour. This occurs because everyone possesses an unconscious ancestral memory of these events, for "We are descendants of survivors, themselves descendants of survivors."(5 ) Responses to these ancestral traumas may therefore occur in any area of our culture. For instance, Velikovsky maintained that records of these events are preserved in religion, myth, and folklore, which are therefore not as fanciful as science would have us believe. Consciously, however, man cannot tolerate a knowledge of such events, and as a result we suffer from a collective amnesia which is less an inability to remember what happened than an innate unwillingness to recognize the truth buried overtly or covertly in myth ...

Can we really be certain that the natural world our ancestors experienced several thousand years ago is a mirror of our world today?" SKEPTICS MIGHT SAY THAT YOU CAN "PROVE ANYTHING" BY RESORT TO MYTH. Well, you certainly do hear that statement a lot, and the statement is obviously not intended to be taken literally. The skeptic is saying that all sorts of strange and exotic ideas have been proposed on the basis of myth, and he is saying you could argue for anything under the sun if all you have to do ...

... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 22 The Capture of the Planet Luna In the moonless aeon which followed the breakdown of the Tertiary satellite, the brightest of all planets, Luna, came nearer and nearer. It most probably moved in a very eccentric orbit, more elliptical, perhaps, than that of Mars at present. Luna would therefore come very close to the Earth at certain times and be far removed from it at others. The most favourable conjunctions were those when Luna was at its perihelion and Terra at its aphelion. They were, of course, extremely rare, many ten-thousands of ...

... are repressed, there is a recurrent compulsion to re-enact the experience and given the fact that humanity has experienced severe traumas in the historical past, we should expect human beings collectively and individually to exhibit some of the symptoms of the typical amnesia victim. In this paper we shall explore some implications of Velikovsky's diagnosis, first with regard to religious myth as a remnant not only of the catastrophes, but also of the state of human consciousness prior to the time when "the great fear" began to take hold. Using these myths as a key, we shall examine the ubiquity and insidiousness of the collective amnesia phenomenon in human consciousness today, and explore one perhaps the only way ...

... Why? The enclosed sun-cross is not an abstraction. It simply records what the ancients originally saw. It is a literal drawing of the polar sun, passed down from earliest antiquity: the image of Saturn, the Universal Monarch. Rarely do archaeologists, seeking to interpret the widespread "sun" symbols, consult ancient mythology. Yet the myths explain the symbols, and the symbols illuminate the myths. Largely overlooked by archaeologists are the hundreds upon hundreds of myths and liturgies focusing on the cosmic images , , and . Ancient sources reveal a world-wide concern with a concrete celestial form- an ideal configuration identified as the great god and his heavenly dwelling. The subject is not the ...

V's idea that the representation of Isis in opposition to Horus as the morning star indicates a confusion of Isis with Horus following the expulsion of Venus from Jupiter is quite unwarranted on the basis of what is actually set forth in Muller. It is true that both deities were associated with ...
