... :3 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents The Female Star Ev Cochrane I am frequently asked why anyone should care about ancient myth? The answer, quite simply, is that for many millennia myth served as the primary means of recording and communicating ancient man's most fundamental beliefs regarding the nature of the cosmos, history, and the origin of the sacred. In this sense, ancient myth constitutes an important chapter in the intellectual history of our species and is thus a ripe field of study for all students of anthropology and evolutionary psychology. If it turns out that myth also preserves valuable clues for understanding the recent history of our Solar System, it should occasion little surprise ...
192. Hammurabi and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VIII No. 1 (Fall 1982) Home | Issue Contents Hammurabi And The Revised Chronology Immanuel Velikovsky Copyright (C ) 1982 by Elisheva Velikovsky Editor's Note: The present article is a modified and partially updated version of one of the original unpublished chapters of Ages in Chaos. Readership response is welcome. - LMG King Hammurabi is the best known of the early monarchs of ancient times due to his famous law code, found inscribed on stone. This great lawgiver of ancient Babylon belonged to the First Babylonian Dynasty which came to an end, under circumstances shrouded in mystery, some three or four generations after Hammurabi. For the next several centuries, ...

194. The Cosmic Origin of the Swastika [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon IV:5 (Nov 1996) Home | Issue Contents The Cosmic Origin of the Swastika Dwardu Cardona See Note * below. 1. SATURN In Sanskrit, the emblem we know as the swastika is called pramantha. The word also means "fire-drill". (1 ) According to Robert Graves, it is this Sanskrit word that lies behind the name of the Greek Prometheus. In Greek, "Prometheus" means "forethought" but, according to Graves, the name may really have originated "in a Greek misunderstanding of the Sanskrit word pramantha, the swastika, or fire-drill, which he had supposedly invented, since Zeus Prometheus at Thurii was shown ...
195. Plate Tectonics and Catastrophe Theory [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... a general hypothesis on the constraints imposed to the kinematics of the Earth's surface: kinematics V that is generally conservative, but where the condition of conservation div V = 0 may no longer be observed close to the graph of distensive or compressive points; there may also be isolated singularities where the kinematics is tangential to rotation, and where the origin of central' vulcanism may be seen. A mathematical reminder. Let us begin by recalling a classical theorem: consider an assemblage of material points Mi, of masses mi, moving at the velocity Vi, in the Euclidean Space E (these points being related to the reference system Oxyz, considered fixed). The kinetic energy of ...
... once a volcano is established it retains the same crater. We continually find new craters thrown upon the old and also with those mountains in frequent activity, like Etna and Vesuvius, a number of parasitic cones or smaller volcanoes are sprinkled in the vicinity. The present crater of Vesuvius is superimposed upon a pre-existent volcano called Monte Somma, which originally formed a single conical mountain with an enormous crater. Between the years of 1139 and 1306, as mentioned (29), Vesuvius, or more probably Somma, remained in a state of solfatara, as it is called. The energies of the volcano were exhausted, all appearances of igneous action effaced, except certain fumarole. These ...
197. Night of the Gods: Disputatio Circularis [Books]
... a mightiest satire upon the insane pride of the intellect - all of them, founded upon a universal Fact which is a Lie. Let any reader who here hesitates at the very threshold, try and put that most simple and useful of untruths " the sun rises " into words that accurately convey the facts of the case or explain the origin of the word `heaven' or get to the Ding an Sich of the Atlas myth on any other than the Axis theory favoured in this Inquiry. It is hard luck that a book like this, which aims at some sort of scientific system, should thus have to start from, and base its investigations on, a falsity ...
198. Tektites and China's Dragon [Journals] [Kronos]
... plagued the Earth in the form of a newly-born comet. In presenting his evidence, Sutherland relied exclusively on the dragon form as it evolved through the years in Chinese art. He was able to conclude, among other things, that the dragon in Chinese art did not go back further than 1500 B.C . and that it probably originated then. The article was well researched but it could have been strengthened by the inclusion of data concerning comets, other than the proto-planet Venus, which have been known to take the shape of a dragon. One such comet is described in Geoffrey of Monmouth's The History of the Kings of Britain: "There appeared a star of marvelous ...
199. S.I.S. Spring Meeting, 1983 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Professor of Social Theory at New York University, as its first speaker. Taking as his theme "Homo Schizo - the Catastrophic Evolution of Man", de Grazia presented some of the most important results of his many years of interdisciplinary research. He began by briefly reviewing Immanuel Velikovsky's Mankind in Amnesia (1982) and Julian Jaynes' The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind (USA: 1976, UK: 1979). While both works provide valuable insights into the human psychological make-up, they fall short of a satisfying explanation for the origin of the human psyche. In particular, while he agreed with Velikovsky's proposition that our ancestors were severely traumatised by a ...
200. The Timna Test [Journals] [Aeon]
... the rash outcome of material jettisoned without due examination. This paper is one link in an evidential chain which addresses the period from the Persian invasion of Egypt by Cambyses in 525 B.C . to the Macedonian period as far as Alexander the Great in the early fourth century BC. It will stand as an extremely rigorous test for Velikovsky's original premise that Ramesses III is to be equated with Nectanebos I as portrayed in the history of Diodorus Siculus. Diodorus Siculus referred to the Egyptian king who successfully expelled the Persians in -375 as Nectanebos. Velikovsky claimed the Egyptian king who expelled the Persians was Ramesses III and was to be equated with the same Nectanebos. Various were the names ...
