... does not have a text that supports his scenario to the extent that the unwary reader of WIC night surpass. As I stated earlier, the mast V has is a set of isolated epithets and metaphors that might have been acquired by Ishtar in the days of the hypothetical Venus Comet, but which, in the prayer, appear minus their original catastrophic setting. If the prayer had really been as V represents it in WIC, it would indeed have been difficult to explain it in uniformitarian terms (though not impossible, if the context was astrological in intent, for example.) Venus does not, after all, induce earthquakes, whirlwinds and darkness. But of course the ...

... "Thou makest thy creations in thy great Aten," reads the Litany of Re.) (18) Thus the Egyptians denoted the garden of Re by combining the Aten glyph with the glyph for "garden": . The significance of such imagery seems to have escaped mythologists: the lost "homeland" of global lore was the original dwelling of the sun-god. Of the Egyptian han or "homeland," Reymond writes: "The Sun-God was believed to operate from his birthplace .. . In its essential nature the primeval sacred domain was the very place from which the Radiance issued first." (19) This "sacred domain" was the island of Ta ...

114. The Homeric Question [Journals] [SIS Review]
... meaningless. Instead, I shall discuss the chronological problems related to the successive stages of the compilation and editing process of the Homeric epics in the light of my continuing research into early Greek history. This is a research task which can be achieved since we can base the assessment on real evidence. On several occasions I have argued that the origins of the Olympic Games should be synchronised with the beginning of the other Panhellenic festivals [2 ] and that the first Greek poets, the emergence of the polis and the Greek colonisation movement do not date back, as is generally assumed, to the 8th century BC, but instead to the early 6th century BC [3 ]. ...

... , and cobalt. In Angola and Rhodesia, as well as in South Africa, there are smaller deposits. Indeed, many geologists are of the opinion nowadays that the great rich ore deposits at least must have been brought into being through strictly localized, exceptional, and briefly operative causes. Iron, the ancients believed, was meteoritic in origin. What would they have believed if they had seen the now exposed great iron mountains of Minnesota or Venezuela? Could such mountains have fallen from the sky? Unquestionably. Asteroids exist in the size of iron mines and contain as much iron. Would they not have exploded and dissipated into dust upon landing? Some would and some not ...
116. Darkness and the Deep [Journals] [Aeon]
... Saturnian Configuration had not yet been formed. In mythological jargon, the "world" had not yet been created. What this means I hope to elucidate in what follows below. Certain fundamentals, based on specific proposals offered by others, are here accepted, but also tested against the record. First among these proposals is one which was originally offered by Immanuel Velikovsky in 1971 concerning the possibility that Earth had at one time been a satellite of the planet Saturn. (1 ) Actually, a similar, if more bizarre, idea that proposes the Earth to be "an offspring of Saturn" was aired as long ago as 1884 by Oskar Reichenbach (2 ) as part ...

" Empedocles(1 ) FOREWORD This is the second in a series of three articles dealing with the general theme of the Hegelian origins of Freud's social and political philosophy. The first article "Group Mind in Development" (KRONOS IV:4 )- dealt with what I called Freud's "phylogenic and ethnogenic dialectic," the psychological growth of mankind ...

... is more properly the vast illumination, or universal shiner. O'Neil says the name means "All shine", and I can see nothing but the wide shining canopy or sunregent, the same as the Greek Posiphae, of which more later on. Amaterazu, then, which the mythologists say was an ancient name for the sun, was originally the vapor heaven by which the true sun was concealed as her own child and the grandchild of Izanagi and Izanami, and this Amaterazu, from utter necessity, had to give birth and power to this true sun through her own fall. Now a canopy fall means confusion or the breaking up of the old order, and the simple ...
119. The Anomalous Condition of Venus and the Origin of the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol V No 2 (1980/81) Home | Issue Contents The Anomalous Condition of Venus and the Origin of the Solar System V. AXEL FIRSOFF It is not only Velikovskians who have noted problems in explaining certain of the Venus findings on the basis of current theory. The suggestion reprinted here, though non-Velikovskian in viewpoint and time-frame, proposes a startling departure from theory. Reprinted from Solar System Today Vol. II No. 3 (September 1980), by permission of author and publisher. The atmosphere and axial rotation of Venus present various problems. The usual assumption that planetary and satellite bodies must have lost their volatile constituents in function of their ...
120. The Origin of Velikovsky's Comet [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. X No. 1 (Fall 1984) Home | Issue Contents The Origin of Velikovsky's Comet David Talbott and Ev Cochrane Copyright (c ) 1984 by David Talbott and Ev Cochrane 1. Introduction It has been nearly 35 years since Immanuel Velikovsky published Worlds in Collision, thus provoking one of the great scientific controversies of the twentieth century. In the intervening years, most of the world's leading astronomers have registered their opinions on the subject. Their consensus boils down to this: A) Velikovsky was treated poorly, but B) that is no reason to take his claims seriously. Not so long ago, however, much of the present speculation among ...
