... Greek astronomy in the second millennium B.C . The Hymns, he asserted, had originated between -1841 and -1382, but probably in the 17th century. They showed the Greeks to understand heliocentricity and the sphericity and rotation of the Earth, and spoke of the attraction of the Sun as the source of orbital movement, and named the planets, the seasons, the atmosphere, and the ether beyond. Their calendar was of twelve lunar months; they identified Saturn with time; and they referred to a universal law that regulated the universe and stabilized the Earth. Stecchini, Santillana, and Von Dechend, among historians of science known to Deg, were quite persuaded of the ...
142. Response to Slabinski [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon III:6 (Dec 1994) Home | Issue Contents Response to Slabinski Robert Grubaugh The principal feature of the proposed Polar Configuration model as described in AEON III:3 is that the line-up or "stack" of planets, Saturn, Venus, Mars, and Earth orbit the planet Jupiter synchronously with Jupiter's orbit around the Sun. The distances between the planets and the distance between Jupiter and the Sun were calculated on the basis of equilibrium of the gravitational and "centrifugal" forces consistent with the selected synchronous condition. In the mathematically-defined configuration, the angular velocity of each of the planets revolving in the Jovian system is equal, so they do not depart ...

The Formation of Mineral Deposits The Satellites and Life on our Earth The Breakdown of the Satellite The Migrations of the Anchorage Bollard Evidences of Earlier Satellites The Continental Tables The Capture of Luna Chapter II The Satellites of the Earth According to Hoerbiger, then, the satellites of the Earth have played a most decisive part in the life history of our planet. Without the manifold influence of its satellites the Earth would certainly never have become what it is and would probably never have been able to sustain life. First, the satellites built up the Earth, from a small mass accumulation to a quite considerable one; then they imparted rotation to it; they supplied it with water; they ...
144. Our Universe: Unlocking its Mysteries [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... past. Heavenly Bodies Were Worshipped as Gods - Why? In earlier times man worshipped heavenly bodies as gods. Myths proclaim, "We once lived in the presence of the gods". These gods were visible powers, often capricious, and frequently violent. The priestly astronomers of ancient Mesopotamia and elsewhere make clear that these remarkable powers were planets. If the myths surrounding these gods are to be taken seriously, they raise many questions. Why did ancient man worship the god Saturn? The planet Saturn is very difficult for the average person to even find in the sky today. Some mythologists postulate that there is evidence in ancient lore to connect the scarred warrior hero of legend ...

Taylor was a renowned Platonist and his article was entitled, "On the Coincidence between the Belts of the Planet Jupiter and the Fabulous Bonds of Jupiter the Demiurgus"[2 ]. There, quoting passages of the neo-Platonist Proclus (c . 410-85 A.D .) , On the Timaeus of Plato and On the Theology of Plato, ...

... [* But see "Khima and Kesil" by Velikovsky elsewhere in this issue.- The Ed] 2. The Controversy. Writing in 1973, Donald Patten, in collaboration with R. R. Hatch and L. C. Steinhauer, also came to the conclusion that Aish, Khima, and Khesil were to be understood as planets. "Traditional commentaries suppose that these three are constellations, whereas actually they were visible planets moving across the constellation areas"(10) When it came to identifying these planets, however, Patten, et al. differed considerably from Velikovsky. "Our supposition is that Arcturus [Aish] was Mars, Orion [Khesil] was ...
148. Martian Meteorites in Ancient Myth and Modern Science [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon IV:2 (Aug 1995) Home | Issue Contents Martian Meteorites in Ancient Myth and Modern Science Ev Cochrane On June 28th, 1911, the inhabitants of Nakhla, Egypt, were treated to a spectacular meteor shower. As it turns out, one of these meteors almost certainly came from the planet Mars, nearly 50 million miles away. The difficulty in dislodging a rock from the red planet, much less transporting it to Earth, has prompted several noted authorities to doubt its Martian origin. The meteorite's chemical imprint, however, not unlike the DNA-evidence in a murder trial, leaves little doubt about its place of origin. Nor was this the only ...
149. When Venus Was A Comet [Journals] [Kronos]
... in nature. According to our hypothesis, it was this celestial scenario which was commemorated by the universal symbol of the enclosed sun, most familiar as the Egyptian Aten (o ). There were, however, more surprises in store. A curious anomaly kept reappearing at each stage of the investigation. This was the intimate association of the planet Venus to symbols traditionally linked with comets- e.g ., the serpent-dragon, hair-star, bearded star, etc. The question arose as to whether this connection between Venus and cometary symbolism was fortuitous, or whether it was possible that the planet Venus once presented a comet-like appearance. The latter hypothesis was first made famous by Immanuel ...
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 22 The Capture of the Planet Luna In the moonless aeon which followed the breakdown of the Tertiary satellite, the brightest of all planets, Luna, came nearer and nearer. It most probably moved in a very eccentric orbit, more elliptical, perhaps, than that of Mars at present. Luna would therefore come very close to the Earth at certain times and be far removed from it at others. The most favourable conjunctions were those when Luna was at its perihelion and Terra at its aphelion. They were, of course, extremely rare, many ten-thousands of ...
