... , internally cold planet- would not possess any magnetic field whatsoever. Clark R. Chapman explains, Perhaps most surprising of all was the discovery that Mercury has a dipole field, resembling a weak version of our own planet's magnetic field. This was unexpected because scientists had a prejudice that planetary magnetic fields were produced by dynamo effects deep within a planet. Dynamo action was thought to require a molten core within a rapidly spinning planet, quite impossible for a planet like Mercury, spinning nearly [60] times slower than the Earth. Furthermore, a small planet like Mercury would have cooled off long ago if it ever had a molten core, the theorists reasoned. As happens often ...
52. Aphrodite - The Moon or Venus? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... : - Aphrodite - The Moon or Venus?Peter James IMMANUEL VELIKOVSKY's reconstruction of the solar system's recent history has thrown a completely new light on the question of the origin of religions. In "Worlds in Collision" he draws our attention to the Homeric Hymn to Ares" (1 ), which explicitly refers to that deity as a planet god - the hymn leaves no doubt that one of Ares' most important aspects was as the god of the planet he named, Ares to the Greeks, Mars to the Romans. Velikovsky has also made an excellent case for identifying the goddess Athena with the planet Venus, an original and extremely important discovery. In pointing out these ...
53. The Female Star [Journals] [Aeon]
... is offered for the origin of the specific themes uncovered- Creation, the Golden Age, epoch-ending catastrophe, etc. It is here that the Saturn theory has an important contribution to make, for it holds that these particular mythical themes commemorate specific historical events witnessed by ancient man the world over- namely, spectacular cataclysms associated with the respective planets. The Lady of Heaven A survey of the mythology surrounding Venus reveals a vast set of endlessly recurring themes: the planet as mother goddess; the planet as agent of death and destruction; the planet as "eye" of heaven; the planet as "fire-breathing" dragon; the planet as witch-like hag; the planet as paramour ...
54. Synodos, Part 2 Mars Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... it with the words, "Here is what wrote Berosus," but the account is not preserved. Now, if we know what happened on the night of March 23, -687, are we not able to find out what the missing account of Berosus was? We can assume that Berosus knew that the catastrophe was caused by a planet in contact with the earth. Seneca, in his work, Naturales quaestiones, described the cataclysms of water and fire that visited this world and brought it to the brink of destruction. He also presented the opinion of Berosus, which is remarkable in that it reflects ancient knowledge similar to that at which we arrived after a long series ...

56. Is Gravity Necessary? (A Response to Charles Ginenthal's Electro-Gravitic Theory) [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon I:3 (1988) Home | Issue Contents Is Gravity Necessary? (A Response to Charles Ginenthal's Electro-Gravitic Theory)Earl Milton In the mid-Twentieth Century when Immanuel Velikovsky wrote the book, Worlds in Collision, the mechanical world view of Isaac Newton ruled astronomy. By proposing that the planets had changed orbits recently, thereby sometimes coming to close proximity with cataclysmic results, Velikovsky attracted scorn from many astronomers. Even when data from space probe after space probe indicated that the believed view of a quiet birth and evolution of the Solar System was no longer warranted, few scientists bothered to examine Velikovsky's work seriously. Worse, the conspiracy of silence which was imposed ...
57. When Earth Was Not Yet Created: An Account of Sumerian Cosmogony [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History II:2 (Jun 1980) Home | Issue Contents When Earth Was Not Yet Created: An Account of Sumerian Cosmogony Zecharia Sitchin See Note: 1 More than a quarter of a century ago Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky suggested "worlds" (planets) "in collision" at the time of the Israelite Exodus from Egypt. Few are aware to this day, however, that the peoples of ancient Mesopotamia believed that eons ago Earth itself was born out of a catastrophic planetary collision within our Solar System. This belief, a central element in all Mesopotamian writings, rituals, and religions, was especially expressed in the form of a long ...
58. Thoth Vol I, No. 17: June 30, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... David Talbott (dtalbott@teleport.com) [EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series of articles on the myth of the comet Venus.] In _Worlds in Collision_, Velikovsky noted many tales of disaster and upheaval in which the agent of destruction possesses cometary attributes, even as it is identified with the _planet_ Venus. The anomalous "cometary" traits of Venus in world mythology thus became key pieces of the argument, and the strength of the argument derived from the breadth of sources. Velikovsky did not rely on traditions of one region only, but drew on key evidences from every ancient civilization. He noted, for example, that ...
59. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Three [Books]
... " The eerie world, dark and groaning, was unpleasant to all the senses save the sense of smell: the world was fragrant. When the breezes blew, the clouds conveyed a sweet odour. In the Papyrus Anastasi IV, written in the year of misery', in which it is said that the months are reversed, the planet- god is described as arriving with the sweet wind before him'." Here of course V has transformed the god Amun into a planet- god, presumably Venus, a transformation which is pure assumption. In any case, in the prayer Amun comes "in peace", an epithet that would hardly have been applied to ...
60. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is under preparation, but a draft chapter has appeared on the Internet (Web address below) summarising their work. Due to space limitations, several explanatory panels and many illustrations have been removed. Thunderbolts of the Gods www.thunderbolts.info David Talbott and Wallace Thornhill On a spiral arm of a galaxy called the Milky Way, nine planets move in peaceful, clock-like procession around a yellow dwarf star called the Sun. The planets move on highly predictable paths, and by all appearances nothing has changed in a billion years. The inhabitants of the third planet, the Earth, can see five of their celestial neighbors without the aid of telescopes. Surrounded by the background stars ...
