... - gravity- effects the motions of stars, why do billions of stars in binary systems change their orbits from elliptical to highly circular ones in only a few thousand years, as they age from newborn to main sequence stars? POLAR CONFIGURATION AN IMPOSSIBILITY SPEAKER: C. LEROY ELLENBERGER- The naive, literal polar configuration interpretation of the Saturn myth is false on its face because it is not in accord with the laws of physics, as Ashton has amply explained in AEON I:3 . A myriad correct predictions cannot compensate for this fact. It is well known that any set of facts can be explained by more than one theory. All one needs to select the " ...

383. A Critical Re-appraisal of the Book of Genesis, Part Two [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... leap to the eye, by contrast in the first part of the Book of Genesis, which describes the earlier Babylonian period, the Babylonian influence in the language is so minute as to be almost non-existent." [10] It is an amazing fact that where there are similar details in the Genesis account of Creation and in the Akkadian myths, almost without exception the Akkadian uses different words and expressions from the Hebrew. Yahuda notes that, whilst some Akkadian words and expressions are used in the Hebrew, they do not occur in the Genesis story [11]. Therefore, any attempt to argue for a so-called strong literary or linguistic "dependence" of the Genesis stories ...
384. The SIS Silver Jubilee Event, September 1999 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the earliest lights have come and gone the Tresmans are still well and truly with us, with son Ian now producing SIS Internet Digest. Harold was particularly pleased that this conference would be featuring the work of the Saturnists' as his earliest interest in Velikovsky's work was concerned with the latter's ideas about Saturn having been the Sun' of early myth, an idea that has not been pursued very much on this side of the Atlantic since Harold's initial article The Primordial Light' [SISR II:2 , Dec. 1977, pp. 35-40]. John Crowe then took us up to the coffee break with a review of the various different chronological revisions featured in SIS publications over ...
385. A Glance at Compartive Mythology by Isaac Vail [Books]
... monsters dire Born of water and air and fire Crawl and wriggle and foam with rage Through dusk, tradition and ballad age" We are so accustomed to think of mythology in its connection with the poetry of the Greeks and Romans that we forget, if indeed we have realized with our poet, that every people in every clime has a myth system of its own. To make our glance at comparative mythology comprehensive, we must keep this fact in view, for we shall find that nations most widely separated often have traditions very similar in character. In considering the myths of the Aryan nations we find two features standing forth prominently: first, the all-pervading idea of solar deities ...
386. The Terrestrial Sea: A Critical Model of Science and Myth [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon IV:6 (May 1997) Home | Issue Contents The Terrestrial Sea: A Critical Model of Science and Myth Frederic B. Jueneman Quo Vadis? There are any number of difficult questions which relate to the many spec-ulative scenarios forwarded in recent years by those of us who dig into myth with equally conjectural shovels, looking for the precious metals of hard answers to the many ephemeral legendary palimpsests. Usually it's now you see it, now you don't. Or else it's something less precious than fool's gold that one typically finds. But, as one who has had the ingenuous experience of wallowing in speculation and refining the technique over the past quarter century, ...
387. On Saturn At the North Pole [Journals] [Aeon]
... are usually the main offenders here; it is people like David Talbott and Dwardu Cardona and now Roger Ashton (? ) who seem to think that I am one of them. * * * Cardona's latest criticism of me is in "The Road to Saturn," Part II:(3 ) .. .there is one Amazonian myth which states that. at the beginning of time, there was no such thing as night. It was always day. This would contest Lynn Rose's hypothesis that Earth's southern hemisphere had been a place of perpetual shadow as he saw it echoed in the counter-Earth of Philolaos. But I shall not be adamant about this because, after all ...
388. Folklore, Part 2 Mars Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... many gods of Egyptian and Greek antiquity the personification of the sun. Macrobius compared Osiris to the sun, and Isis to the moon, disregarding the opinion of earlier au thors. He also interpreted Jupiter as the sun. As the role the planets played in the history of the world retreated ever further into oblivion, the interpretation of nature myths as referring to the sun or the moon became more and more widespread. In the nineteenth century it was the vogue to explain the old myths as inspired by the movement of the sun and the moon, during the day, night, month, and year. Not only Ra, Amon, Marduk, Phaėthon, and even Zeus ...
389. More on Apollo [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... wise father of the gods, and reduced the savage demon Dionysos to the jovial god of wine, and thirdly by the classical mania for solarizing all deities, which culminated in the Julian monotheism of the "Unconquered Sun". The name Phoebus Apollo means the "shining destroyer" which alone should tell us his true character. His birth myth reveals even more: his mother was Leto/Latona, which in Latin means "Hidden One", probably a deity of night or darkness. As wife to Zeus before Hera came along, she may well be Saturn, for this name can also mean "Hidden One". In any case she is sister of Asteria " ...
390. A General Introduction to Amazon Mythology in the Greco-Roman World [Journals] [Aeon]
... Amazon mythology. (4 ) My personal interest lies in the very complexities of this lore since, for the most part, I tend to agree with William Tyrrell, who has stated that "there is no way, through modern historical methods, to affirm or deny the Amazons' existence, since the evidence we have pertains only to myth." (5 ) As it concerns the Greco-Roman world, his statement is certainly valid. We can, however, gain further insight into ancient thinking and gender roles by examining the differences in Amazon mythology as it developed through the centuries. This paper is intended to be a very simplified discussion of Amazon mythology- with ancient authors ...
