... a Spanish retreat near the Great Temple. A number of Spanish soldiers had been captured alive during the engagement, and the chronicler gazed back at the ensuing spectacle. There was sounded the dismal drum of Huichilobos and many other shells and horns and things like trumpets and the sound of them was terrifying, and we all looked toward the lofty Pyramid where they were being sounded, and saw that our comrades whom they had captured when they defeated Cortés were being carried by force up the steps, and they were taking them to be sacrificed. Sacrifice and war here merge as overlapping symbols, together with the "terrifying" sounds of a more ancient holocaust. Through sacrifice and war ...

... mirror in my bathroom. These mirrors were worn by the nobles, usually on the small of their back, as part of their elaborate ceremonial costumes. The mirrors were not used for observing one's face in their reflection, but, rather, as items in the religious ceremony being performed. Since these rituals were usually held on the flat-topped pyramids and plaza buildings, the picture that formed in my mind was that any image reflected in them during such ceremonies would mostly be of the sky. Think of it this way: When shooting a scenic photograph of someone standing on a hilltop or at the edge of a canyon, and then holding the developed picture upside down, does ...
603. The Dresden Codex and Velikovsky's Catastrophe Dates [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Each day of the Tzolkin year coincided with the same day in the Haab year once every 18,980 days; 73 Tzolkin years equalled 52 Haab years, and at the end of 52 Haab years the cycle began again. The Maya were aware of this cycle and it held special meaning for them, particularly with regard to building pyramids. It was sometimes referred to as the Calendar Round. The Maya also knew at least two other calendars, one of which was a lunar calendar. Eventually the Maya mathematicians achieved such accuracy that they were able to calculate the length of the lunar month as 29.53020 days - today we make it 29.53059 days. ...

... , the completeness of the cometary motifs leaves no room for ad hoc explanations. Whether remembered by the Aztecs as a former great king and founder of the golden age, or a former sun god ruling a primordial epoch, Quetzalcoatl was a cultural hero without equal in the Aztec pantheon, his countenance adorning temple walls and the stucco bases of pyramids, painted on countless frescoes and codices, and engraved on sarcophagi and nonoliths strewn across Mexico. The climactic event in the Quetzalcoatl myth is the god's catastrophic death and transformation in an overwhelming disaster- an event endlessly repeated in sacrificial rites and supplying the cornerstone of Aztec calendar rituals and astronomical symbolism. In a pervasive version of the myth, ...

... . No trial was held, but Marx spent several days in Swiss cells and lost whatever credibility he had had. The upshot was that his Velikovskian organization in Europe disbanded to avoid being associated with him. Livio Catullus Stecchini, Velikovsky's first disciple, died on September 28, 1979. He was working on treatises concerning ancient measuring systems, pyramids, and the Gospels being modeled on a lost play by Seneca. His close Velikovskian comrade-in-arms Ralph Juergens died in Flagstaff in early November, 1979. He was still working on his Velikovsky-inspired concept of an electrical universe. Immanuel Velikovsky was working diligently on his myriad manuscripts, thinking about doing a new article for Harper's, discussing offers for ...

... the reigns of power following the collapse of the Amun worshipping 18th Dynasty which originated in Thebes following the Hyksos Period. To return to Jim's argument that I suggest Seth was entirely a Hyksos deity and thus an overthrower of Egyptian sovereignty: this is just not so. Seth was around long before the Hyksos Period, as is shown by the pyramid texts of Pepi II of the 6th Dynasty.(3 ) The Hyksos merely took over the cult of this god, as his character was strongly identified with their own principal deity, probably Baal. It is therefore highly likely that Seth's rise to dominance in the Second Intermediate Period took place when the ancient world underwent some major natural ...

... research and this seemed to answer so many questions, and I began to introduce Dr. Velikovsky's work into my courses, and it was here that I first came in contact with the Velikovsky Affair, because all of a sudden word started coming in from other departments that I was the crackpot in residence according to whom the Martians built the pyramids. And it came from the Geography Department, the Geology Department, the Chemistry Department, the Government Department, the Astronomy Department, History Department, Classics Department, I have probably overlooked a couple that got in on the act, too, and that forced me to go deeper into the matter and become more aggressive at my end ...
