... which tells of the Earth being burnt by the Sun. According to Plato's Timaeus, Egyptian priests had told Solon that the Phaeton myth alluded to one of a series of disturbances of heavenly bodies which produced periodic annihilations of the Earth by fire and flood. Huggett, in Cataclysms and Earth History, commentedmented that, although he appreciated that their origins may be complex and unclear, "if these ancient myths are taken at face value, then the view that the Earth has undergone several cataclysmic events during its history was common among ancient cultures" [3 ]. From the time of the Greek philosophers, the evidence of marine fossils in outcrops of rock made it clear that at ...

143. Ejections, Resonances, and Inversions [Journals] [Kronos]
... of the SIS Workshop where the editor added a footnote to one of Hugh Eggleton's papers - "Did Saturn Explode Twice?".(2 ) In reference to Eggleton's statement that "Venus was undoubtedly born of Jupiter," the editor appended the words: "But see Dwardu Cardona's Child of Saturn' . . . for an alternative origin of Venus."(3 ) This misconception next appeared in the CSISN where Ian Johnson, in "Saturn: Through a Velikovskian Glass Darkly", alluded to "those Velikovskians who theorize that Venus originated from Saturn".(4 ) In one of my shorter papers, which appeared in the SIS Workshop, I politely corrected ...
144. The Uranians [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ] All took their place; "the systematization and regulation was known as rita (rite), which means etymologically set in motion' and has the idea in the Rig Veda of cosmic truth or order." The profound meaning of the word "rite" is suddenly apparent here; religious rite is aimed at rehearsing and repeating the original cosmic order so as to support and control it by physical means. I understand Varuna as the original benign and intimate heaven of Earth. The Vritryas are the dragon-like monsters of the falling skies. The Earth's surface is destroyed in the first struggle of the gods. But Indra appears between Heaven and Earth, the first sun, in ...
145. Homer in the Baltic [Journals] [Aeon]
... Baltic regions, where the Bronze Age flourished in the 2nd millennium bc, and many Homeric places, such as Troy and Ithaca, can still be identified. The blond seafarers who founded the Mycenaean civilization in the 16th century bc brought these tales from Scandinavia to Greece after the decline of the "climatic optimum." Then they rebuilt their original world, where the Trojan War and many other mythological events had taken place, in the Mediterranean; through many generations the memory of the heroic age and the feats performed by their ancestors in their lost homeland was preserved and handed down to the following ages. This key allows us to easily open many doors that have been shut tight ...
146. Planetary Worship [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... classical texts, of cuneiform tablets, even the pages of our own Bible, have long illuminated this oft-ignored aspect of ancient religions. It is therefore incredible that, from time to time, people like Chris Boyles find it necessary to question this verity. What is even more surprising is that Boyles can bring himself to state that the astronomical origin of the major gods of antiquity is a premise that has been "pulled out of a hat'.(1 ) Derek Shelley-Pearce criticized Boyles for "too easily accepting the uniformitarian premise" to the contrary.(2 ) Yet Boyles is no uniformitarian when it comes to cosmic catastrophic events, especially when he admits that such events " ...
147. Venus -- A Youthful Planet [Journals] [Kronos]
... by some scientist of repute. Then Professor H. H. Hess submitted the article " Venus - a Youthful Planet " to Dr. Rabinowitch. The latter returned it with the statement that he did not read Velikovsky's book, nor the article. The case is described in The Velikovsky Affair (University Books), a collection of articles originally printed in the special issue of the American Behavioral Scientist (September 1963), then reprinted with updating material, as a book, in the summer of 1966. [Ultimately, the article "Venus - a Youthful Planet" was published in the April, 1967 issue of the Yale Scientific Magazine . It is reprinted here with a ...
148. The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... AEON: One of the trends certainly seems to be a growing interest in catastrophism in general. Talbott: Yes, and a person would have to be blind not to notice that this discussion is becoming more and more "Velikovskian" every year. On the margins of the mainstream, we see a fundamental re-thinking of the past- the origins of man, the origins of civilization, cometary disasters in relation to early historical events. Then, farther removed from the mainstream, we see a chaotic mixture of claims ranging from the scientific to the occult: discoveries of Atlantis, newly revealed secret doctrines, and countless Doomsday prophecies and predictions (the latter might include anything from global ...
149. Night of the Gods: The Pillar [Books]
... island of Iki1And there was a god of the awful pillar of heaven, Ame no Mi-Hashira no kami 2 and an awful Earth-Pillar, kuni no Mi-Hashira. This conversion of the nu-hoko or Spear into the heavens-pillar is, Mr. W.G . Aston informs me,3 taken from the Kuzhiki, a book which professes to give an original account of the age of the gods and of early history down to Suiko Tennu (A .D . 593-628). Its authorship is attributed to Shotoku Taishi and Soga no Umako; and its preface, which purports to be by the latter of these joint authors, states that the book was completed in the year 622. It ...
150. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... is to provide one more example of Immanuel Velikovsky's ability to explain the past through the use of "ancient testimony from around the world." Specifically, Cochrane wants us to believe that Velikovsky predicted the discovery of meteorites recently found on Earth (ten, so far, if one can rely on the meteoriticists) which are thought to have originated from the surface of Mars. In his introduction, Cochrane states that ". .. Velikovsky claimed that rocks from Mars had only recently menaced the Earth." He then quotes directly from Worlds In Collision to support this contention and adds that "Velikovsky deserves great credit for anticipating the Martian origin of certain meteorites." In the ...
