... . Wilson of the University of Chicago, twitted Velikovsky for his own arrogance in the matter. It would be nearly a year before Velikovsky would address another Princeton assembly. He would, however, take his message successfully to other campuses. In March 1966 he addressed the Philosophy Club at Temple University and in April he spoke on "The Pyramids, Their Purpose and Orientation," at Yale. None of the undergraduate editors of the Yale Scientific Magazine had ever heard of him, but a graduate student in the history of science, John Holbrook, Jr., persuaded them to do a special issue on the Velikovsky case. Then it was off to Madison, New Jersey ...

... also obvious from the text on the el-Arish naos itself, a version of the cosmology of Heliopolis in which Atom of lunu (= Heliopolis) has the most important place. Other divine names (such as Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Re-Harakhte and Apophis) play a major role in the el-Arish mythological drama, very much as in the pyramid texts of Unas and Pepi at the end of the Old Kingdom in Egypt. However, it still remains interesting as to why the name Pi-Khiroti appears in the text. Dutch scholar Dr G.Hagens once asked jokingly whether Pi-thom might be rendered as "uncle Tom's cabin". It is clear that we should not be tempted to ...

... too small over the period of time in question. He thinks there has most likely been a change in Earth's axis of spin, referring to an unpublished manuscript of his on rapid changes in Earth's mode of spin. He strongly suggests these took place 3000-1600 BC, drawing our attention of NW European stone ring alignments, and pointing out that pyramids prior to Cheops' (2550 BC) stand as much as 10 degrees out. The evidence cannot be discounted: no matter how long scientists consider the present attitude of the Earth to have been stable, this clearly has not always been the case. The old order has changed, and the time of change was within recorded history ...
... pearls and iron ore, and other treasure from the natives, making mother of pearl the standard of barter, and giving them the god Saturn as their totemic dragon in return. Finally they reached Peru with its staggering weight of gold. There we find the people called Chimu, giants, who came by ship, settled down to build pyramids, designed wonderful jewellery and pottery, practised mummification, and possessed many features of the Egyptian type. The centre round Lake Titicaca lies in a region of great wealth of gold, silver, and other minerals. This race established immense irrigation works, constructed terraces running thousands of feet up the sides of the Andes with stone-retaining walls to ...

... with insulation and gold leaf. The priests used rods for various operations, conducted with engineering skills and precautions, like handling radioactive fuel elements today. Ziegler says this could be done by a few intelligent leaders and their helpers because atmospheric electricity was then immensely more powerful. It was all around, shining on mountain tops, the eye on pyramids, the burning bushes. God spake in lightning flashes far more often. Was it really God? Zielger seems to think so, but he gives a hint at the end that it could have been a cosmic process, by a brief enigmatic reference to Velikovsky and Worlds in Collision. The time has to be right for new ideas ...

... who suggested that he might find some clue in a book by Walter's mentor Hermann Junker. At the New York Public Library the next day, Velikovsky found the book, in which Junker mentioned an Old Kingdom papyrus written by an Egyptian sage named Ipuwer, who lamented that the Nile had turned to blood. The so-called Old Kingdom, the Pyramid Age which according to expert consensus ended at least half a millennium too early for any link-up with Moses, seemed an unlikely source of support. But Velikovsky was determined to pursue the only lead he had. On April 20 or thereabouts, William C. Hayes at the Metropolitan Museum spent an hour trying to find further references to Ipuwer ...
617. Support for Heinsohn's Chronology is Misplaced [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... v). Strangely, Sweeney omits to mention that as a part of his sweeping revision for Mesopotamia Heinsohn also requires to redate the Old Kingdom of Egypt into the 1st millennium, in line with his placement of tablet' Ebla. Unfortunately, this would also lead to a redating of Middle Kingdom Egypt, since the inner core of the Pyramid of Amenhemet I (XIIth Dynasty) contains limestone blocks taken from Old Kingdom tombs. One must wonder how Sweeney views this, and Heinsohn's more recent proposals for a 7th century date for the Amarna period, and of identifying the Hyksos as the same neo-Assyrian kings whom he sees as the Akkadians. Conclusion In closing it only remains for ...
618. Chapter 1 The Foundations of Ancient History [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... The Arts and Crafts of Ancient Egypt, reprinted in London in 1996, he dates the "Prehistoric work [of Egypt dating from] (8000-5500 B.C .) " on p. 12. On page 14 he dates "The first dynasty (5500 B.C .) " On page 15, Petrie dates "The Pyramid age [to] (4700-4000 B.C .) ". While Petrie and his followers claimed that Egyptian civilization began around 5500 B.C ., present-day Egyptologists suggest that its onset should be dated to around 3000 B.C ., a difference of 2500 years. Budge, in defending the longer 5500 B.C ...

... But the search for water is only the first step in a quest of mythical proportions ? to land humans on Mars. If only scientists understood the origin of the myths about Mars, the planetary god of war, they might begin to see parallels with earlier irrational human feats to reach the home of the gods - as witness the great pyramids. They might also perceive that the shrapnel covered and blasted hero "died" in a battle involving cosmic thunderbolts. Comparative mythology gives us precise clues about what we should be looking for on Mars and what to expect. It has been far more predictive and explanatory than speculative theories about an undisturbed planet and long-extinct oceans. It gives ...
620. The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... and unhappy over the comparatively strict academic discipline, Velikovsky and Marek decided to drop out of school to become pioneers in Palestine. As a religious and romantic gesture, they decided to duplicate the original Mosaic passover by crossing the Sinai on foot but, more wisely, they settled on a seaborne passage instead. After a second visit to the pyramids for Velikovsky, they sailed to Jaffa. Upon receipt of a letter of recommendation from kinsman Jaffe, they enlisted as day laborers for the Agudath-Netaim plantation at Rehobath. But it was the rainy season and there was very little work to be done. There was also, as a result, very little income. Finally, out of ...
