... Prehistoric Man The Misread Record or The Deluge and its Cause Mythic Mountains The Ring of Truth Golden Age Canopy Isaac Vail THE CANOPY THEORY When in the spring of 1874 I published my first little book on the Canopy Theory, entitled The Deluge and Its Cause, it presented timidly the suggestion that primitive man must have begun his career on this planet while it was yet invested by a great cloud shell of aqueous vapors, sent up from the primitive earth while it was in a molten or igneous state. I assumed that the human family living in such a world- environment must have been a veritable hothouse planet; and that the earliest history of the race was misunderstood because it was ...
252. The Road to Saturn (Excerpts from an Autobiographical Essay) [Journals] [Aeon]
... have to be admitted that civilization is older than 4000 B.C . If Michanowsky, on the other hand, was to raise his date, it would remove the occurrence beyond the reaches of the Sumerian data. What is curious about Vela X is its Sumerian connection with the god Ea since Ea was one of the personifications of the planet Saturn. In fact, as I have already noted elsewhere, Michanowsky's entire work is littered with purely Saturnian motifs, though he did not seem to recognize this. Only once did he acknowledge a connection between Saturn and Vela X-when he noted that, in one Greek-written version of the Mesopotamian Deluge myth, the god Ea is rendered Kronos ...
253. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol VII Part A (1985) Home | Issue Contents Letters Glasgow Still Proceeds The views expressed by Professor Roy in his comments on The Stability of the Solar System (pp. 66-68) seem to be contradictory. He gives reasons why computer and mathematical calculations of the movements of planets in the Solar System are not reliable in relation to long periods of time. Then he goes on to say that "there is no evidence that we need to go beyond Newton's Law of Gravitation in explaining the observed movements of the planets, moons" etc. If we cannot describe the movements of the planets accurately, how do we know if these movements have ...
254. Saturn's Sacred Mountain [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... what the intent may be. While he may have meant well, Charles Seitz is guilty of nothing less. According to Seitz: [1 ] Immanuel Velikovsky proposed that Saturn was in a stationary position at the North Pole until the time of the Deluge, when it became a nova. Behind Saturn was Jupiter and the rest of the planets. Where, may I ask, did Velikovsky ever propose anything of the sort? Not only were most of the ideas delineated above entirely alien to Velikovsky, he was emphatically against such notions when these were proposed by others. Parts of the above scenario were independently presented by David Talbott and myself. [2 ] Velikovsky, who ...
255. Maya Cosmos: A Saturnian Interpretation (Part II) [Journals] [Aeon]
... from the extensive study of three dedicated comparative mythologists: Dwardu Cardona, Ev Cochrane, and David Talbott. Their many years of research have led to some commonly accepted ideas about the nature of the world in man's prehistoric past. According to this scenario, man's earliest memories go back to a time of darkness and passive sameness during which the planet Saturn hung immobile in Earth's boreal sky. [2 ] This condition changed dramatically with the shedding of light due to Saturn's primordial flare-up. [3 ] Primitive man had no way of knowing what planets were, only that they were ominous entities- later called gods- bent on performing magical events. These first and foremost gods manifested ...
256. A Skyscraper And A Sparrow. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... . We have here [in Worlds in Collision] an extraordinary achievement in a very difficult type of marksmanship- four hits [between the comet Venus and other planetary bodies] in a couple of thousand years. It is not only impossible. It is ridiculous. Stewart agreed with Payne-Gaposchkin: "Her word marksmanship' is altogether appropriate because these planets are so very small in proportion to the distances which normally separate them." And he gave as a comparative scale a page of Harper's enlarged to a yard serving for space and a few dots on it for planets. To this "heavy artillery" of mathematics, my answer was as follows: The image of "marksmanship" ...
257. The Birth of Athena [Journals] [Aeon]
... Athena's birth- arguably the single greatest mythical image bequeathed to us by the ancient Greeks- is a tell-tale sign of just how far we are from achieving a real understanding of Greek mythology. Velikovsky's Athena Perhaps the most novel explanation of Athena's birth was that offered by Immanuel Velikovsky, who saw in the myth an ancient cataclysm associated with the planet Jupiter (Zeus), one in which the planet Venus (Athena) was born from the giant planet in comet-like form. Velikovsky's thesis, presented in 1950 in the book Worlds in Collision, inspired an extensive and often vitriolic debate, one which shows little sign of abating. (11) At first sight Velikovsky's hypothesis hardly inspires ...
258. Worlds In Collision. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... fire, followed by more than two decades of gloom. About two weeks passed after the day I realized that the earth had traveled through a huge train of meteorites and underwent a disturbance in its rotation, and I was on a new trail. Reading the books on old Mexican history, I was surprised to find the name of the planet Venus mentioned often. One early morning the question crossed my mind: Was not this planet in some way connected with the disturbances? The Mexican sources, several more of which I had by then read, referred to the first appearance of the planet Venus after the catastrophe; the very darkness, the hurricane, and the burning of ...
259. A Model of the Polar Configuration [Articles]
... A Model of the Polar Configuration Robert Grubaugh I've been following David Talbott's material for a number of years, and the first response, generally, to what he had proposed in the way of the planets all lined up like a "shish-ka-bob" was, "That's nonsense, David. It's against the laws of physics; you can't do that. Kepler's Laws and all that sort of thing...You're dreaming. Forget about it." Well, when I got wind of this I thought, "Well, my goodness, I don't believe that's the case at all. I believe that Kepler's Laws do not necessarily apply to this kind of a configuration. ...
260. Symbols of an Ancient Sky: Slide Presentation & Notes by David Talbott [Journals] [Aeon]
... in human memory like ancient software. Talbott deduces that major changes in the planetary order brought about Earth-threatening catastrophes. According to his model, the first civilizations originated in ritual practices honoring, imitating, and re-living these dramatic celestial events. His assertion, following Velikovsky, is that the dominant deified powers celebrated in ancient rites and pantheons were actually planets moving close to Earth. In this notebook, Talbott's goal is "to provide just enough of an abstract of the Saturn theory to give a sense of the underlying coherence of the thesis." (p . 2.) He also provides an overview of the theories of other comparative mythologists who have been aware of the amazing global ...
