... the four directional streams of the sun-cross, the polar column, and the revolving cometary curl. And in each of these defined relationships the predicted imagery provides a stark contrast to any likely descriptions of the Sun, Moon and stars as they appear to us today. For starters, our model suggests these fundamental characteristics: The cosmic ship was originally the vehicle of the god and planet Saturn. Since Saturn was the ancient sun god, (1 ) Saturn's ship must be the universal "ship of the sun." The ship was a crescent. The crescent-ship was not our Moon as usually supposed, but the illuminated half of a band around the sun god. The band ...
122. The Great Comet Venus [Journals] [Aeon]
... mere possibility of a comet Venus is entertained. For Velikovsky's comet will, in fact, be found on every page of ancient sources. Grant an authentic celestial reference for the global pictographs and accounts of Venus and your perception of the past will be forever changed. CATASTROPHIC HISTORY OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM According to Velikovsky, the planet Venus sprang originally from the gas giant Jupiter, its elliptical orbit around the Sun intersecting the orbit of the Earth. Velikovsky called the protoplanet Venus a "comet" because, as it circled the Sun, it carried with it a trail of gas and debris. The largest portion of Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision is devoted to aspects of his thesis concerning ...
123. "Worlds in Collision" and the Prince of Denmark: II. Hamlet and Meso-American Myth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that certain larger meanings of this master pattern are similar in the different cultures in which it arises, some separated by half the terrestial globe, and that in each case the pattern seems to have arisen or at least to have come into special prominence at about the same time. It will be argued that this pattern strongly suggests a catastrophic origin, which means that, as Hamlet shares innately in the pattern, it too must possess a subconscious appeal which may derive at least in part from the events which Dr Velikovsky reconstructs. Now, I am not the first to suggest that Hamlet's essential appeal does not lie strictly or even mainly in its plot, characterisation, verisimilitude, ...
124. Loess [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... not active dunes . . . . (3 ) [In the Texas, Colorado, Wyoming region] The thickness of the deposit is greater the lower the elevation, suggestive of water-deposited sediments; and (4 ) the tops of the sand hills are very level (concordant), which is an indicator of deep-water deposition rather than eolian origin."206 An excellent picture of this grading of different material of till, sand and loess also appears in Charlesworth's The Quaternary Era, Vol. II, page 522 of the South American loess. Here the grading is quite a direct, outstanding feature of these deposits. Add to this the findings of ripple marks as high as ...
... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Three: Volcanic Powers And Limitations IV - Eruptions and Earthquakes of Meteoric Origin IT appears undeniable that as a general rule the bulk of meteors strike the earth in a latitude towards the Equator rather than in the higher latitudes. This is not invariably the case, of course, because we have the evidence of the Aleutian Isles, Iceland, and other far northern sites to the contrary. What we might term the selective sites, situated in the sub-tropical or torrid zones, are not, I suggest, due to climatic reasons at all, but are probably determined to a large extent by the shape of ...
126. Apollo and the Planet Mars [Journals] [Aeon]
... harmonious, and orderly, the form-giving force apparent in the best of Greek architecture and sculpture. The Dionysian force, in contrast, represented that which was dark and wild; epitomized best, perhaps, by the reckless abandon and mystic ecstacy of the Dionysian rites described in Euripedes' Bacchae. The modern conception of Apollo-including scholarly research into the origins of the god's cult-has been much influenced by Nietzsche's analysis. Witness the following assessment of Apollo's cult by W.K . Guthrie in The Greeks and Their Gods: "He is the very embodiment of the Hellenic spirit. Everything that marks off the Greek outlook from that of other peoples, and in particular from the barbarians who surrounded ...
127. Genes, Peoples, and Languages by Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2002:1 (Jul 2002) Home | Issue Contents Book Review Genes, Peoples, and Languages by Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza Published by Allen Lane, Penguin, 2000 Phillip Clapham This book is a grand attempt to trace the origin of humans from the first migrations out of Africa, encompassing a huge swathe of history, some 50,000 years. The evidence is very thin on the ground so the author makes leaps of intuition - or fancy - otherwise known as calculated hypotheses'. In spite of that the book is fascinating and worth getting hold of. This subject is taboo in many quarters, tainted by 19th century ideas of ...
128. The Bedrock of Myth [Articles]
... [ CD-Rom Home ] THE BEDROCK OF MYTH by Roger Ashton Tracing the Origin of Myth The Nonexistent Sunlike Saturn Perceived Form and the Passage of Time An Alternative Conjecture The Sequence of Manifestations The Forms of the Polar Apparition Sungir and the Nasatyas The Triple Crescent and the Neanderthals Three Tests 1. Tracing the Origin of Myth If the metaphors of myth and the symbols and emblems derived therefrom can be traced retrospectively to the elements of a primeval visual design from which all of them could evidently and separately evolve, then that primeval visual design is the bedrock of myth. It is not necessary to presume that this origin has a unity in time. The design need consist only of the ...
129. Saturn's Cosmos [Books]
... these signs signify to the ancients? With scarcely a dissenting voice, scholars routinely tag them as solar symbols. They tell us that such renderings of the sun are perfectly natural (that is, they must be "natural" ways of representing the sun because one sees the signs everywhere!) Though everyone seems to agree on the solar origins, (1 ) many disagree as to what the signs depict. In the image, does the outer band represent a parhelion (atmospherically caused halo around the sun)? Or does it stand for "the circle of the sky"? Some commentators suggest that the outer circle is itself the sun, leaving open the question of ...
130. Planetary Identities: II The Mythology of Homer [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Planetary Identities: II The Mythology of Homer by Dwardu Cardona 1. Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon This, the second part of my amiable debate with Chris Boyles turns now to some of his more specific objections. Concerning the planetary identifications I had earlier presented [1 ], Boyles has stated that my deductions are hardly proof of the origins of all deities' [2 ], but the truth is that I never presented my deductions' as such. Right from the start I was careful to stress that my deductions' concerned the major deities of the world's great pantheons [3 ]. After all, it must not be forgotten that it was he who had even ...
