... Thus, according to this hypothesis, Saturn had only recently appeared as the most prominent body in the sky, which body formerly moved in close proximity to Earth. More than that, Saturn and the Earth seem to have shared a common axis of rotation with the result that, as viewed from earth, Saturn appeared fixed in the north polar sky as a gargantuan, awe-inspiring form. (Fig. 5) Seal impression showing recumbent crescent of Sin enclosing the radiating disc of Shamash. Among the most important discoveries that has come to light in this respect has to do with the ancient imagery surrounding the mythological crescent. As Talbott has documented, originally the crescent of Sin had ...
332. Conclusion [Books]
... illuminated crescent, which, as the earth rotated on its axis, visually revolved around Saturn each day. The light and dark portions of the band found expression in the black and white cosmic twins, while the alternating positions of the crescent produced the twins of the "right and left" or "above and below." In the polar configuration the ancients saw, at once, the cleft summit of the cosmic mountain, with the central sun standing between the peaks of the right and left; the cosmic bull supporting Saturn between its horns; Saturn's crescent-ship on the mountaintop; the heaven-sustaining giant with out-stretched arms; the winged god or goddess; the plant of life; ...
333. The Norfolk Forest-bed. Ch.5 Tidal Wave (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... shells with closed valves furnish evidence that the molluscs did not die a natural death but were buried alive. It would appear that this agglomeration was brought together by a moving force that rushed overland, left in its wake marine sand and deep-water creatures, swept animals and trees from the south to the north, and then, turning from the polar regions back toward the warm regions, mixed its burden of arctic plants and animals in the same sediment where it had left those from the south. Animals and plants of land and sea from various parts of the world were thrown together, one group upon another, by some elemental force that could not have been an overflowing river. ...
334. Stars in an Electric Universe [Journals] [Aeon]
... been determined that the beaming takes place in a very small volume at the centre of the galaxy. If the energy radiated into space has only a small component due to nuclear synthesis, the complex stellar evolution theory as constructed via the gravitational model is seen to start from entirely the wrong premise. In fact, if gravity is an electrostatic polarization phenomenon at the level of nucleons, we can say little about the interior of a star- its true mass distribution, composition, or density. The English physicist, Harold Aspden, has noted that heat and pressure ionization inside a star will create an equilibrium between gravity and electric forces that will result in a uniform mass density. ...
335. Gravity and Pterodactyls [Journals] [Aeon]
... craft, approaching apogee, would slow down in its elliptical orbit for an eventual return to Earth.) So don't be misled by differing opinions concerning what distances are specifically discussed for where the gravitational influences of Earth and Moon are equalized. They may vary appreciably depending on what kind of orbit the craft is required to make- equatorial or polar, elliptical or circular, or somewhere in between. These distances will also vary with the close approach and recession of our lunar neighbor during its orbit around Earth. Further, we cannot talk about electric charges keeping Earth and the Moon apart except as a speculative excursion, since we haven't measured the magnitude and polarity of such charges, ...
336. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... Ancient Myths and Legends is Written in the Stars. ' He claims to have discerned the stars forming Ursa Major as ca. 5 cathedral towns in France, with the extreme "right hand" member located in Germany on the Donnesberg- i.e . Thunder Mountain. This would be very appropriate if the dislocation of Saturn from the Polar Configuration by thundering Jupiter caused those seven stars to become visible and take on a new mythical role for themselves. I was therefore wondering whether these factors could yield a viable benchmark for determining the chronological order of events following the break-up of the Polar Configuration. The constellation Ursa Major interpreted as an adze. I have heard Greg, who ...

338. Thoth Vol III, No. 11: Aug 25, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... . THE SPIRAL: The spiral form depicted in the Egyptian eye-glyph is also a part of many other sacred symbols, including glyphs of the White Crown and Red Crown. Nothing in our sky today can begin to represent the power of the idea. The depicted spiral is the vehicle by which the creator-king fashions his dwelling in heaven, the polar enclosure. In the Egyptian system, the spiral means "to fashion or create", in specific reference to the fashioning of the cosmic dwelling. The subject is the spiraling Venus comet, also depicted by the Sumerian pictograph for the goddess Inanna (Venus). The spiraling "tail" (enclosing serpent-dragon) comes to form the ...
... production of heat; it would go into decreased revolutionary angular momentum. The Earth's orbit would then be ever so slightly closer to the Sun. Velikovsky claims that after this collision the length of the year was shorter and this is reflected in the calendars of ancient peoples. Furthermore, Sagan importantly has overlooked the question of the shifting of the polar axis during the 1500 B C. catastrophe that Velikovsky suggests. In Earth in Upheaval, p. 39 Velikovsky pointed out that, "the northern part of Greenland was never glaciated. Probably, then as now, an exception was the northernmost part of Greenland; for it seems a rule that the most northerly lands are not and ...
