... Tractate Brakhot so explicitly points to the cause of the Deluge that, before classifying the narrative in Genesis in its entirety as folkloristic imagery (which in part it most certainly is), we ought to inquire: Which celestial body is Khima? In the rabbinical literature Khima is referred to as Mazal Khima [2 ]. Mazal is "planet". Then which planet is Khima? In the Old Testament there are several instances where Khima is mentioned. In Job (9 :5-9), the Lord is He who "removes mountains .. . overturns them .. . shakes the earth out of her place .. . which commands the sun and it rises not ...

J. NORMAN LOCKYER INTRODUCTION The Annular-Canopy Theory of Isaac N. Vail (1840-1912) represents an important milestone. In the unification of artificially compartmentalized sciences. Here we find a valiant attempt to weave the sciences of Geology, Astronomy, and Anthropology into a single tapestry. That ...
173. The Birth of Vahagn: An Armenian Vision of Celestial Catastrophe? [Journals] [Kronos]
... Vedic Matarisvan, both of whom stole the fire of Jupiter (i .e . from Zeus, in the first instance and Dyaus Pitar in the second). Now, in time- we are told by the Vedas- the fire which Matarisvan stole became the god Agni and this is significant because Velikovsky has already identified Agni with the planet Venus(5 ) and had connected the myth of Prometheus with the fall of Naphtha from the same body.(6 ) The assimilation of Vahagn to the Mazdean Verethraghna supports this identification of Vahagn with Venus, for Verethraghna, in his capacity as patron of fire, is connected with the worship of the flaming naphtha fields of the ...
174. Apollo and the Planet Mars [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon I:1 (Jan 1988) Home | Issue Contents Apollo and the Planet Mars Ev Cochrane In the Birth of Tragedy, Friedrich Nietzsche developed the aesthetic dialectic of the Apollonian and the Dionysian, concepts which were to become a permanent part of our culture. For Nietzsche the Apollinian force symbolized all that was light, 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 ...
175. Planet Gods. Ch.3 In Fear And Trembling (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... From "Mankind in Amnesia" © 1982 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Planet Gods The agitation and trepidation preceding global upheavals, the destruction and despair that accompanied them and the horror of possible repetition all caused a variety of reactions, at the base of which was the need to forget, but also the urge to emulate. Astrologers and stargazers, as well as soothsayers, divined; conquerors excelled in wanton and cruel devastation, invoking and imitating planetary models. Prophets and seers exhorted and priests propitiated. Astronomy became the dominant occupation of the sages of the past in Mexico, in Assyro-Babylonia and elsewhere- precisely because of the cataclysmic events that took place. ...
176. Planetary Motions, Egyptian Unit Fractions and the Fibonacci Series [Journals] [Horus]
... From: Horus Vol. 2 No. 2 (Summer 1986) Home | Issue Contents Planetary Motions, Egyptian Unit Fractions and the Fibonacci Series (c ) 1985 George R. Douglas, Jr.It was well known among the ancients there were a few bodies that moved about the stars and these were called planets' or wanderers'. According to the Soviet Encyclopedia, records of astronomical and meteorological observations stimulated the development of astrology, not until the first millennium B.C ., and astronomy, between the fourth and first millennia B.C . The planets were identified and, unlike the fixed stars which were compared to calmly grazing sheep, planets were called ...
177. The Thermal Equations Of Venus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 3 No 4 (Apr 1981) Home | Issue Contents The Thermal Equations Of Venus Eric Crew A useful elementary introduction to the subject of heat balance of planets is included in ATMOSPHERES by R.M . Goody and J.G .C . Walker (Prentice-Hall, 1972). Some of the quoted values have been modified in the light of subsequent observations, which will be noted later. Planets absorb heat from the Sun and lose heat by radiation into space. Some of the solar heat is reflected back to space by an amount depending on the albedo of the planet. Earth's albedo is 0.33, so the solar heat absorbed ...
178. The Sun Of Night [Journals] [Kronos]

As these words are being written, the U. S. space-probe Pioneer II is even now on its way to a rendezvous with Saturn which, barring any unforeseeable accidents, is due to occur in September of 1979, two years hence. The data that will be collected and relayed to Earth by this probe will therefore be crucial to the astronomical content of this article. But already there are indications that we, as ...
179. Saturn And Voyager [Journals] [Kronos]
... "sun" of the night sky which hovered over the top-of-the-world. It was taken to be a manifestation of the great god. Some worshipped him as Shamash, others knew him as Atum. The Greeks called him Kronos, the Romans Saturn. Today, his worldly-image is but a dim yellow starry point in the sky- the ringed planet we call Saturn. It orbits the Sun every twenty-nine and one-half years. The most distant of the planets visible to the naked eye, Saturn is about one and one-half billion kilometres from the Earth; and its diameter is nearly ten times greater than the Earth's. In the sky, Saturn represents a target the size of a five ...
180. Planetary Observations of the T'ang Dynasty [Journals] [SIS Review]
... have found evidence that may suggest other scenarios. Here, I will introduce a significant portion of this evidence anomalous observations of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Mercury made during the Tang Dynasty in China (618 AD - 906 AD). To my knowledge, no one has yet compared these observations with retrocalculated positions of the planets, or critically analysed them. These observations appear in Edward H. Schafer's Pacing The Void , Tang Approaches To The Stars, University of California Press, Berkeley, 1977. Schafer's own source seems to the Tang Shu, the Tang dynasty annals. Though he apparently did the work of converting Tang dates into their Gregorian equivalents, as ...
