... other precious goods had to abandon it suddenly during the final stage of the siege because he or they were pursued hotly. Over a copper shield "lay a stratum of red and calcined ruins, from 4 3/4 to 5 1/4 feet thick, as hard as stone." He nevertheless could extricate the shield and the ... of cometary collisions is inherited by mankind. Vermin were deposited by comets, which also provoked plagues. Deities from Egypt, Greece, Meso-America, and elsewhere were identified with planets. Pyramids were both astronomical observatories and "air-raid shelters" for nobility and kings. Planet Saturn, as a comet, caused the Noachian Deluge. The Atlantis date ...

... Pettersson, "Exploring the Ocean Floor," Scientific American, 183 (August, 1950), 42-4, as to rich deposits of nickel of meteoric origin in the red clay on the ocean bottoms. Many comets are of recent origin (historical times) and are the result of disruptions on planets. (W in C, p ... truly ad hoc explanations for the unforeseen discoveries which have confirmed Velikovsky's advance claims. (Velikovsky claimed in 1950, on the basis of a hypothesis concerning Venus, that that planet is far hotter than scientists expected. When Venus' 1000 F temperature was discovered, another scientist put forth the purely ad hoc suggestion that the heat may have been ...
244. The Enclosed Sun-Cross [Books]
... a corresponding manner each river receives a different color. The four rivers of the Chinese polar paradise Kwen-lun possess a remarkable feature: one is blue, another white, another red, and another black. (108) Each of the Hindu four rivers has its special colour. (109) The Kalmucks of Siberia describe a primordial sea from ... A comparison of Egyptian cross symbolism with that of other lands reveals numerous parallels. The oldest Mesopotamian image of divinity was the sun-cross , symbol of the creator An, the planet Saturn. An, like his counterparts around the world, "brought forth and begat the fourfold wind" within the womb of Tiamat, the cosmic sea. ( ...
245. Darkness and the Deep [Journals] [Aeon]
... exploding into a veritable sun, the Earth may in fact have been warmer on its facing hemisphere than it is today. Describing the primeval Saturn as "the smallest possible red dwarf star or a brown dwarf star" in its death throes, Hall assumed that, for eons, the giant planet "had sustained by radiant energy the spark ... the record. First among these proposals is one which was originally offered by Immanuel Velikovsky in 1971 concerning the possibility that Earth had at one time been a satellite of the planet Saturn. (1 ) Actually, a similar, if more bizarre, idea that proposes the Earth to be "an offspring of Saturn" was aired as long ...

... the dark band around its southern hemisphere had not faded significantly by January, indicating that it may take years to settle. A new dark spot, larger than the famous red spot, was seen rotating across the planet. The black impact bruises were dark because of vast numbers of aerosol particles created in the explosions, perhaps from organic material ... the Moon, such as capture of a fully formed Moon from elsewhere in the Solar System, fission from an early Earth while it was spinning very fast and a double planet hypothesis which suggests that both bodies formed together in the planetary dust cloud, gave way to a general consensus that the Moon was formed from debris flung into orbit after ...

... acknowledgment: Birgit Liesching) Sirius, the Dog Star, is white today and appears to have been white in the 2nd century BC, yet Roman sources describe it as red. As there is no known astronomical process which can change a star from red to white in so short a time, it has been suggested that the Roman astronomers ... , French astronomers, writing in Nature, have suggested that the colour change was due to a cloud of interstellar dust passing between Earth and star 2000 years ago. Spotty Planets New Scientist 20.10.90, p. 22 and 24.11.90, p. 21 Just as Jupiter's Great Red spot has gone into decline ...

... Venus having been ejected as an incandescent core, or part core, from Jupiter some thousands of years earlier". The letter is marred by his argument that the Great Red Spot of Jupiter is "evidence" for the birth of Venus, and by his description of Robert Forrest's critique as "reasonable", and by concurring with Forrest ... the severest criticisms of Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision thesis over the years has been the apparent "impossibility" of explaining how a once erratic comet could have settled to become the planet Venus on a near-circular orbit. In the case of Clube and Napier, this "wildly impossible" notion led them to totally reject Velikovsky's Venus-comet theory and to seek ...

250. On the Circularization of the Orbit of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... gravity to a thickness of less than two percent of the planet's radius. And yet, some thirty-five centuries ago, the Exodus encounter brought down meteorites, petroleum, and red dust to the Earth from the extended atmosphere of Venus. Physical considerations of this encounter and other types of evidence presented by Velikovsky indicate that the atmosphere and tail of ... the discussion was written by Sherrerd.(2 ) The problem of orbit circularization does not concern catastrophist astronomy only. According to some theorists, several satellites of the large planets are in fact captured asteroids which succeeded, after being captured, in achieving approximately circular orbits. The Moon may also be a captured body- no really satisfactory theory ...
