... the globe. The swallowed hero, in turn, is to be identified with the planet Mars, the mythical Morning Star. [48] Vestiges of a lost solar system are apparent in the Lakota tradition that Morning Star and his mother lived in the northern circumpolar heaven prior to their celebrated fall. During the historical period dominated by the polar configuration, Mars and Venus were axially aligned together with Earth along the celestial pole and appeared as two concentric spheres set in the center of the ancient sun god. The Blackfoot claim that the Sun shone through the hole of heaven in the northern circumpolar region is a clear testament to the former presence of a polar sun: "The ...
412. Heracles and the Planet Mars [Journals] [Aeon]
... That the Mesu-tree and Mashu-mount are variants upon a common theme is obvious. That the objective reference of the symbolism was celestial is difficult to deny, for no terrestrial mountain could "watch over the rising and setting of the sun." Only some sort of Cosmic Mountain- such as the one outlined by Talbott in the thesis of the polar configuration- would meet this requirement. (76) Heracles and Nergal The apparent identification of Gilgamesh and Nergal raises the question of a possible relationship between Heracles and Nergal. Actually, such a relationship has long been suspected by scholars of Nergal's cult. H. Seyrig, for example, drew attention to the numerous features shared by the ...

Painting by Dwardu Cardona and Fredrick Lee. Editorial By Dwardu Cardona Magnetic Models of the Polar Configuration Robert Driscoll presents new magnetic models to account for the Saturnian configuration as it might have appeared in Earth's primeval sky. PAGE 5 Janus: Corrigenda et Addenda Dwardu Cardona offers a correction to one of his previous papers while adding new evidence re his contention that the Roman Janus was simply an earlier version of the Saturnian deity.

414. The Oceans [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of the implications of plate tectonics. In 1963, Franz Lotze, in discussing the position of evaporite deposits on land (deposits caused by water evaporating and leaving salts and other materials on the surface, such as the Bonneville salt flats), to explain these shifts, suggested that instead of sliding plates being responsible, the shifts indicate a polar shift. 26 Thus, as can be seen, a scientist explained the nature of changes in past climates which gave rise to evaporites to the same pole-shift concept Velikovsky proposed. Gould's lack of basicknowledge regarding the process of plate tectonics as it directly applies to the question of the thickness and distribution of oceanic sediments is rather ironic, because ...

... and probably played a part in the evolution of life on Earth - as Fred Hoyle has long been ridiculed for saying. Water, water everywhere Baltimore Sun 27.5 .94, Washington Post 3.5 .94 and 29.3 .93, New Scientist 28.5 .94, p. 16 The unbelievable discovery of polar ice on Mercury has now been explained. A theoretical study has shown that the poles receive so little sunlight that crater floors could be permanently shadowed and cold enough to freeze any water in the atmosphere. By the same reasoning there could be ice hidden in shaded craters on the Moon also, e.g . at the poles. ...

... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2002:2 (Feb 2003) Home | Issue Contents Letters Pyramid Builders, Polar Configurations etc.I have a couple of comments about Eric Crew's letter in C&CR 2002:1 . Firstly he declares that it is unlikely that the pyramid builders' themselves had the technology to construct them because a recent attempt to build a pyramid using modern technology failed. That older technological expertise can be lost is attested by several examples, e.g . British Bronze and Steel Secrets', C&CR 2001:2 , p. 48. There is no denying the technological level of the Romans, or that they constructed their ...

... moon, Europa, is an obvious candidate for water. It appears to be covered in a smooth, fractured surface of ice, thought to be floating on water kept liquid by the heat generated by tidal forces (forces which cause the volcanism on even closer Io). The dark cracks are similar to those in ice flows on Earth's polar seas. Titan, Saturn's largest moon, has plentiful water ice and Saturn itself is literally dripping with it as its inner ring falls to the planet at a rate which indicates the rings are very young (only 30Myrs). Meanwhile more moons keep being found in this watery abyss. Heat of Venus New Scientist 23.11. ...
418. Nemesis for Evolutionary Gradualism? [Books]
... of the dinosaurs, `anything up to' could mean `perhaps a lot less than'. Nevertheless, similar conclusions were reached in 1983 by the geologists Charles Officer and Charles Drake of Dartmouth College, New Hampshire [71]. Results of studies of stratigraphic layers near the K-T boundary, with special regard to normal or reversed geomagnetic polarity, suggested that the dinosaurs died out in the San Juan Basin, New Mexico, some 400,000 years after the foraminifer extinctions at Gubbio, Italy. Furthermore, on the same basis, not even the marine extinctions at different locations appeared to have been simultaneous or, indeed, to have taken place over the same time intervals ...

... about 1/125 of the entire Earth's moment of inertia; but it would still take ice piled 450 miles deep on all of North America for that ice cap to counterbalance the effect of the bulge. This is a brute-force kind of comparison intended to show what it would take to overpower the bulge instantaneously. Smaller ice caps could effect polar wander, as Gold showed in 1955, but for those cases the rate of polar wander, or toppling cum wobbling, is controlled by the rate at which the bulge alters its location, or migrates under the influence of the new eccentric load. And as Gold also showed, this rate is very slow, say about one degree ...
