... intestines and with the labyrinth. They also point out similarities to the Aztec Tlaloc, although Tlaloc's face was formed from two snakes rather than intestines. I can imagine that the superstition that you can read a person's fortune in the windings of steaming intestines also came from this image. Where did it come from? Was it part of the polar configuration? Dave responds: Well, I thought I'd take a little time to respond, since I've already stuck my neck out by claiming that, when it comes to the landscape of myths and symbols, all roads lead to the polar configuration. Amy, you're right about the ancient labyrinth and its connection to superstitions regarding entrails and ...
192. Mars in Upheaval [Journals] [Aeon]
... probes were analyzed for linear features, such as polygonal crater walls, linear rills (elongated depressions), linear ridges, linear albedo boundaries and linear scarps. When these features are plotted, they demonstrate the existence of a well developed planet-wide system of lineaments. This system of fractures might be the consequences of changes in the planet's rotation, polar wandering or similar stresses. (22) There is further evidence that Mars suffered an enormous celestial catastrophe. It is generally accepted by planetary scientists that Mars has not experienced plate tectonic motion. Michael N. Carr, an expert on Mars' geology, states: "Martian tectonism differs in a very important aspect from tectonism on the ...
193. Thoth Vol II, No. 8: May 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... SKY"? At the core of the argument is the idea that several planets were once joined in a spectacular gathering of planets, together with gases and dust, smaller moons and cosmic debris. For prehistoric man- who witnessed all of this- the effect was a massive celestial display in the northern sky. I've called this celestial assembly "the polar configuration" because in its stable phases it was centered on the north celestial pole. In the beginning, the primary form was the planet Saturn, stationary but immense in the sky. Numerous lines of evidence suggest that Saturn once towered over man and inspired the most dramatic leaps in human imagination the world has ever known. Our work ...
194. The Mixtec Tree of Origin [Journals] [Aeon]
... is broad at the base with a naked man emerging from a cleft at the top were the stem meets the cross bar. The ends of the cross bar are also split as though a capital "I " is attached to each end. This illustration reminded me of similar ones that are purported to be representations of the ancient Saturnian or polar configuration. Could there be a connection? As can be seen from the diagram (represented on the title page), a being or deity in ceremonial dress is positioned on either side of the "T ," while a somewhat oversized, and bodyless, head appears at the base from which the "T " structure seems to ...

... its accuracy. This is no mere vague rendition, where each viewer sees what he wants to see. I noticed that the Antarctic coast is well defined, mostly mountainous, with many rivers, none of which penetrate too far into the interior of the continent. Modernity is suggested by the overall shape of Antarctica, the use of a polar projection complete with the Antarctic Circle, and the placement of the landmass well south of the tapered ends of South America and Africa. Oronteus's Greenland also has a decent shape, much better than North America. Antarctica on the Schoner Globe of 1523-1524, reproduced in Figure 51, is also quite impressive, once again positioned south of a ...
196. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 82-88; New Scientist 25.1 .92, p. 26 and 29.2 .92, p. 60 Research on newly hatched sea turtles indicates that the Earth's magnetic field is a vital factor for their navigational abilities and as adults they may well be able to map their way by the use of the stripes of reversed magnetic polarity in the ocean crust. If anyone is left wondering how migratory animals fared during times of reversing polarity, it seems they only note the angle of the field and not its polarity, so as long as the reversal is a complete 180 degrees they will not be affected. Even the problem of how they managed during the hundreds or ...
197. The Capture of Luna (Life History of Our Earth) [Books]
... become our present Moon. The new satellite was a dangerous acquisition. It immediately influenced most profoundly the threefold terrestrial organism': the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and the lithosphere. Its gravitational pull rearranged the Earth's atmosphere which had been fairly evenly distributed since the breakdown cataclysm. It drew great quantities of the terrestrial air coat away from the polar regions and the temperate zones towards the tropics, and piled them up there in a great equatorial air ring tide. This rose to such heights that considerable quantities of the atmospheric gases got beyond the distance at which it is possible for our Earth to retain them. They escaped, or wasted, out into space, and were thus ...
198. Appendix: Measurements Of The Electromagnetic Properties Of "space" [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... calculations, yielding knowledge,. rather than debates, on the electromagnetic properties of "space." FIELD CONSIDERATIONS This discussion is included to indicate why one might expect the investigation of electromagnetic factors in space to be fruitful. It should be recognized, in the first place, that the velocity of light within any medium is dependent upon the polarity of that medium. The residual polarity of space fixes the upper limit of the so-called "in vacuo velocity of light." Space polarity is a practical quantity, measured by the electrical permittivity of space. Secondly, electrically "neutral" materials can be strongly affected by electrical fields, as in the case of water exposed to intense ...

... , of decimated mankind, of migrations, of heavy clouds of dust covering the face of the earth for decades, of magnetic disturbances, of changed climates, of displaced cardinal points and altered latitudes, of disrupted calendars, and of sundials and water clocks that point to changed length of day, month, and year, of a new polar star. All this was presented in Worlds in Collision as having taken place in two series of events, the first in the fifteenth century before the present era, or thirty-four centuries ago, the other, of lesser intensity, in the eighth century, and the beginning of the seventh, twenty-seven centuries ago. Events of a similar ...

... dynasty is equated with the Persian period, two different arrangements of intercalary months, both based on the same lunar phenomena, were seemingly in use at the same time. The chances are all against that happening. Bearing these factors in mind, is there really much scope for altering the history of Babylonia? John D. Weir, Edinburgh Polar Mountain?Dear Sir, I read with interest your article in C & C Workshop 1988:1 , pp. 12-17. It is a perfect description of the theses that I have sent you through Derek over the last several years. If you do not think so, please read it (or them) again. Here is ...
