... story about it.(6 ) But just as Earth in Upheaval does not set out to be a geology textbook, so Worlds in Collision is not concerned to analyze the mechanisms of myth-making or systematically describe any particular body of myths. These enterprises remain. Anyone who has ever entered the labyrinth of an archaic culture's mythical compendia (the Pyramid Texts, the Vedas, the Theogony) can testify to a desperate suspicion that there is no thread of objective reality. Velikovsky has provided the common thread; it remains for the labyrinths to be explored one by one. This not just for the sake of completeness. Only when we have grasped relations of the specifically catastrophic to the ...
452. The Sacred Circuit [Books]
... were believed to be stimulated when painted by the priests of ancient Egypt, Greece, etc. Originally, it would appear, the encircling ceremonies of the agriculturists were, as indicated, performed by magic-workers to stimulate the Great Bear constellation. When in Ancient Egypt the solar faith was blended with the earlier stellar faith, as indicated in the Pyramid Texts, the sun appears to have been regarded as the "magic tank". The mystic solar circle and the many-ringed circle would thus appear to have had the same significance as the spiral. Protection against evil could be obtained simply by drawing a circle to the right, by constructing a circular tomb, or by erecting a circle ...
453. In Defence of Higher Chronologies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Julian, -331. See my Sun, Moon, and Sothis, Chaps. 19 and 20. 6. According to Herodotus (II, 124-140), Cheops (or Khufu) was five kings prior to Sabakos the Ethiopian. We already know that this Sabakos came to the throne late in the 8th century. Accordingly, the Great Pyramid of Cheops might date from, say, the early 8th century. With my own late placement of the Old Kingdom, there is no reason to doubt either Herodotus' report that Cheops was five reigns before Sabakos or, for that matter, his passing remark (II, 125) that the Great Pyramid of Cheops was built with ...

455. Velikovsky And The Cosmic Serpent [Journals] [Kronos]
... have supposed that affairs on Earth take place on a detached and solitary ball. On this view the Solar System has wandered through the huge galactic wilderness undisturbed, while life has evolved and continents have drifted in isolation. At the other end of the scale it has been assumed that primitive religions with their attendant sky gods have arisen, and pyramids and megaliths have been built, under a neolithic sky no different from our own. The essence of our thesis is that new [sic]* astronomical discoveries make these isolationist and uniformitarian viewpoints impossible to maintain. Almost without exception, these discoveries are the product of very sophisticated technology and have been made only within the past few years ...

... just a few months, or a year or so. Questioner 7: How about Herodotus? Have you tried to fit his visit to Egypt during the Persian occupation into this? Rose: I've looked at all of that and I don't see any major barriers. Herodotus is actually quite favorable to Velikovsky because he brings the Age of the Pyramids so far down. He brings it to just before the Ethiopian dynasty. Questioner 7: .. .( ?? ?) .. . visited Egypt in what? 450 B.C .? Rose: His dates are not known. It might have been 450, it might have been a little later or a little ...

INDEED, people arrive -- (2 ) there are indeed no Egyptians anywhere. .. . (3-6) INDEED, the builders [of pyramids(?) have become] field-labourers, and those who were in the sacred bark are now yoked [to it(?)]. None indeed sail northward to (7 ) Byblos today; what shall we do for cedars for our mummies, with the produce of which priests are buried and with the oil of which ( ...

459. The Wayward Sun [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... ever vigilant to the dangers of a wayward sun, any irregularity threatens catastrophe. To prevent this, the priests may have, like their counterparts on Machu Picchu, attempted to "harness" the sun by "tying" its rays to successive stones within the horseshoe. The world would be safe for another year. In Egypt, the pyramids were also precisely aligned with the rising sun on the summer solstice. In an ancient Egyptian writing the sun-god decrees: "I am the one who hath made the water which becomes the Great Flood . . .42 The sun is usually said to have been born by `the great flood. ' 43 In Egyptian mythology, the ...
... thus from the known condition of the primitive earth along a track, every step of which is known, we have by adhering to strict philosophic demands, laid the foundation of a theory that no man can shake. The reader will from this time observe, that the fabric built upon this foundation, is not an obelisk, but a pyramid, whose successive stages add permanence to the adamantine sills upon which it stands. Let us look back upon the ground over which we have passed. We see a fiery globe rolling through, space with a vast and heavy atmosphere, rotating so rapidly that its outskirts are unavoidably made to assume such a velocity as to prevent them from ...
