... From: Aeon I:4 (Jul 1988) Home | Issue Contents Mars in Upheaval Charles Ginenthal Immanuel Velikovsky's thesis concerning Mars requires that the topography of the planet and its satellites exhibit unique evidence of catastrophism. This paper will show that there is a good deal of such evidence and that the episodes of catastrophe were planet wide as well as extremely recent. In Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky writes- When Mars clashed with Venus, asteroids, meteorites and gases were torn from this trailing part [of Venus' tail] and began a semi-independent existence, some following the orbit of Mars, some other paths. These swarms of meteorites with their gaseous appendages were newborn comets ...
232. Dynamic Evolution of a Collinear Planetary System [Journals] [Aeon]
... 2000) Home | Issue Contents Dynamic Evolution of a Collinear Planetary System Emilio Spedicato & Antonio Del Popolo Abstract Starting with Talbott and Cardona, some mythologists have been arguing that, during man's prehistoric period, the Solar System was configured radical different from the way it is at present. In this earlier configuration, according to these theorists, the planets Saturn, Venus, Mars, and Earth were aligned in a collinear system, one "beneath" the other, with all of them sharing the same axis of rotation, even as they revolved around the Sun. At least according to Talbott, Jupiter was also a member of this alignment but, because it was "behind" ...
233. CLASHING MAGNETIC FIELDS [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon II:3 (1990) Home | Issue Contents Clashing Magnetic Fields Donald W. Patten and Samuel R. Windsor INTRODUCTION The origin and repeated fluctuations of Earth's geomagnetic field are the issues of this essay. The origin of this field was the repeated, cyclic close encounters with a planet member of the Solar System. These ancient flybys are believed to have been very close and their cycle so regular that the same side of Earth was presented to the passing planet in alternating passes. The smaller planet, 11% of Earth's mass, deeply invaded Earth's gravitational field. Simultaneously the close encounters featured a sudden, intense and swift distortion of the two planets' ...
234. On Morrison: Some Final Remarks (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Velikovsky's theories, I will limit my discussion to these two objects. Let me begin with the "Coup de Grāce" issue of surface relief on Venus as an indication that internal energy is not a major contributor to the high surface temperature. Juergens (IV, 71-74) has confused this argument with my discussion of thermal evolution of the planet, and as a result his criticisms are off base. The argument from surface relief is independent of any assumptions concerning the past history of the planet; its strength lies in its ability to define an upper limit on heat conducted from the interior today. (Note that the argument was also published in a more technical form in Icarus ...
235. Astral Kingship [Journals] [Aeon]
... Mesopotamian pantheon did not occur until well after the time of Hammurabi. (4 ) Originally a god of agriculture and magic, Marduk was assimilated into many of the major gods of Sumero-Akkadian religion, eventually becoming supreme among the gods and "King of the gods." (5 ) "In his visible manifestation he was Nibiru, the planet Jupiter." (6 ) As we shall see, this is only one of numerous examples regarding the relationship between kingship and a planet-god. In this instance, it was Jupiter-Marduk. At other times, it was Saturn and, to a lesser extent, Venus. The son of Cyrus, Cambyses, likewise made humble obeisance to ...
236. The Earth Chronicles (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... REVIEWS The Earth Chronicles (Review)by Zecharia Sitchin Reviewed by Barbara Clow Now that Zecharia Sitchin has completed the third volume of The Earth Chronicles (Avon Books, New York), it is time to consider this body of work and the radical new view it offers for the formation of ancient chronology. The first book, The Twelfth Planet (1976) is based mainly on Sumerian records and posits the existence of another planet- Nibiru- which is the home of "the gods" reported in all ancient cultures, and traces their record on our planet, Earth. The second work, Stairway to Heaven (1980) penetrates the record of human attempts to recognize, ...
237. Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion [advert] [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:4 (July 1999) Home | Issue Contents Advertisement Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane STILL AVAILABLE Earthlings have long been fascinated by the planet Mars. Well before modern science fiction speculated about advanced civilizations upon Mars and the dire threat of invasion by little green men, the red planet was regarded as a malevolent agent of war, pestilence, and apocalyptic disaster. In an attempt to appease the capricious planet-god, various ancient cultures offered it human sacrifices. What is there about this distant speck of light in the night sky that could have inspired such bizarre conceptions culminating in ritual murder? And how do we ...
238. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... affair, recounted in a recent book by science writer Barry DiGregorio- the remarkable "over reaction" by JPL that occurred in response to Ron Levin's naive efforts to "correct" what seemed to him that July afternoon to be "a deliberate - if perplexing - methodical distortion of the incoming Viking Lander data" (Mars: The Living Planet, B. DiGregorio, G. Levin and P. Straat, Frog Ltd, Berkeley, CA 1997). According to DiGregorio's narrative: "At about 2:00 P.M . PDT, the first color image from the surface of another planet, Mars, began to emerge on the JPL color video monitors located in ...

... wished to participate in the war also, but Zeus, presiding in heavenly Olympus, told her: "Not unto thee, my child, are given works of war; nay, follow thou after the lovely works of marriage, and all these things shall be the business of swift Ares and Athene." Thus the god of the planet Jupiter admonished the goddess of the moon to leave the combat that it might be fought out by the god of the planet Mars and the goddess of the planet Venus. Phoebus Apollo, the god of the sun, spoke to the god of the planet Mars: Then unto furious Ares spake Phoebus Apollo: "Ares, Ares, ...
... the law of attraction. It operates everywhere, in thousands of subtle ways, from the greatest to the least, but the general principle is ever present. A moth is attracted to a candle, a woman attracts a man, a volcano attracts a meteor, and the sun attracts a comet. Astronomers allege that the two great outer planets, Saturn and Jupiter, attract comets into the solar system. Howe states that the attraction of Jupiter sometimes increases a comet's velocity and its orbit becomes a parabola, or, if it diminish it, an ellipse, when the comet becomes an attache' of the sun. Many comets, he continues, mainly small, come from ...
