... a whiff of northernism...Their northernist god-kebob is simply not a major theme of ancient myth." [13] Where, then, has Rose been reading about myth? In the very paper that I submitted at the same conference he submitted his, I presented a few snippets of myth which specifically place the Saturnian deity and planet in the north of heaven. [14] In his own published work, Talbott has supplied even more evidence. [15] Besides, had Rose himself really not come across the north celestial placement of Saturn in ancient records, why would he have gone out of his way in attempting to explain how this situation arose? [ ...
132. The Demands of the Saturnian Configuration Theory [Journals] [Aeon]
... version, it has, since then, been published in Chronology & Catastrophism Review. The full version appears for the first time below. Part I The Polar Saturn 1. INTRODUCTION For those who are not familiar with the Saturnian configuration, the theory, bizarre in the extreme, can be reduced to its simplest form by positing that the planets Saturn, Venus, Mars, and Earth were once much closer to each other. More than that, they were strung out in a linear conformation, in the order given above, which Frederic Jueneman once jocularly described as a celestial shish-kebab. In other words, the planets in question were strung out, one "below" the ...
133. Sothis and the Morning Star in the Pyramid Texts [Journals] [Aeon]
... true of that religion as it is represented in the Pyramid Texts. (1 ) Countless passages therein identify the king with one celestial body or another and describe in some detail his peregrinations (or his soul's) throughout the stellar regions until he ultimately comes to reside in a celestial Elysian fields. Despite numerous attempts to identify various stars and planets in the Pyramid Texts there is little agreement as to the specific asterisms involved and, in any case, there are grave problems with virtually every one of the identifications proposed thus far. In this essay we will examine the passages which have been advanced as referring to Sirius and the Morning Star. The correct identification of these two bodies ...
134. The Extended Habitation Zone [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... of veritable oases' of water scattered widely through the solar system has increased the potentialities further. The 4 major moons of Jupiter are warmed' by the gravitational influence of the gas giant, and, among them, Europa almost certainly boasts a liquid water ocean below its icy crust (3 ). The tidal effect produced by the parent planet opens up some new possibilities, and has shown that our previous assumptions about what constitutes the habitable zone around a given star have been oversimplified' (4 ). So what chances would there be for Europa's ocean if Jupiter were located further away from the Sun? The major moon of Neptune is called Triton. It has no atmosphere ...
135. Circling the Rings [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:1 (Nov 1997) Home | Issue Contents Circling the Rings Henry Zemel Abstract The eccentricity and inclination of planets, moons, asteroids, and comets are linked in a peculiar way: the bodies in the ecliptic, and the moons in the equatorial plane have nearly circular orbits, while those off the ecliptic or equator are mostly elliptical. Among the planets, all orbits are nearly circular and in the ecliptic, except for Mercury and Pluto whose orbits are elliptical and considerably inclined to the ecliptic. Of the 32 major moons of planets, 20 orbit in the equatorial plane (inclination < 4 degrees), and nearly all of these orbits, ...
136. The Periodic Cyclicism Of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... CONTENTS From: The Velikovskian Vol. V, No. 1 THE PERIODIC CYCLICISM OF ANCIENT CATASTROPHES By Donald W. Patten THE PERIODIC CYCLES OF ANCIENT PLANETARY CATASTROPHISM "Berossus, interpreter of Belus, affirms that the whole issue is brought about by the course of the planets. So positive is he on the point that he assigns a definite date both for the Conflagration and the Deluge. All that the Earth inherits will, he assures us, be consigned to flame when the planets WHICH NOW MOVE IN DIFFERENT ORBITS, all assemble in Cancer, so arranged in one row that a straight line may pass through their spheres. When the same gathering takes place in Capricorn, ...
137. The Archangels [Journals] [Kronos]
... (8a) The datum in question comes from a Jewish legend in which it is stated that it was the archangel Gabriel who "with his little finger .. .. touched the rock whereon the sinful cities were built, and overturned them".(9 ) Though O'Gheoghan reminded his readers that Gabriel had already been identified with the planet Mars, he did not follow this lead. That he did not was due to his having favored Venus as the agent of destruction concerning which, he informed us, there seems to be "adequate evidence".(10) Let us, temporarily, leave Venus aside. What can be said of Gabriel as the planet Mars ...
138. The Saturn Thesis: Questions and Answers [Journals] [Aeon]
... "cosmic mountain," a flaming serpent or dragon in the sky- and surprisingly similar stories of global calamity ranging from wars of the gods, to a great flood or a devastating rain of fire and gravel. If we'll look at these collective memories carefully, it will change our understanding of the past. Many of the myths concern planets, but the accounts make no sense to us in terms of the movement of these remote bodies today. Why did the planets, these little pinpricks of light, play such a powerful role in the mythical "age of the gods"? Along with others working in this field, I've come to interpret the myths and drawings and ...
139. Catastrophic Theory of Mountain Uplifts (A Crustal Deformation Theory) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... mountain ranges, mountain systems, volcanoes, etc., comes under the general term "crustal deformation." Other like terms are "mountain uplifts," and "orogeny." Most of the ideas suggested for crustal deformation over the last 150 years offer explanation for only one type of deformation. They cannot address the variety on our planet. These crustal deformations include upthrust, shear, stress, compression, tension, tilting, dip or slip, and rifting. Even of greater importance is the basic underlying question, "What is the source of the energy and force causing change?" The following ideas have been advanced over the years, sometimes only tentatively, other ...
140. The Stability of the Solar System: An Historical Perspective [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that, I think, is in a sense the crux of the distinction between what I would call "uninformed orthodox opinion" and "informed orthodox opinion" in celestial mechanics: this phrase, "everyone knows", is very untrustworthy in most cases. Celestial mechanics is based for the most part on an explanation of the movements of planets, satellites, artificial satellites and interplanetary spacecraft as being governed almost entirely by Newton's Law of Gravitation and his three Laws of Motion. These four laws - and the Differential and Integral Calculus which he also created - are one of the cornerstones of our modern civilisation. It has been said that Western civilisation is largely based on three books ...
