... ) Date: Sun, 16 May 1999 165647 -0700 (PDT) Velikovsky accepted Biblical chronology as untouchable. This was his strong point and weak point. As "The Hidden Book in the Bible" shows, the Biblical narrative was heavily edited by people who tried to create a coherent story out of fragments. These fragments were reassembled for religious reasons, and may not convey the genuine history of that period. From: cwhelton@mindspring.com (Clark Whelton) Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 140230 -0400 That is Velikovsky's method in a nutshell... use the archaeology of Egypt and other lands to provide the "missing" archaeology of Biblical history. From ...
... his book. The cited magazines described Velikovsky's book in glowing terms [141, 209, 217, 218, 271, 284]: a major synthesis of many disciplines, reflecting a thorough knowledge of such fields as anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, biology, chemistry, classical literature, folklore, geology, paleontology, physics, psychology, religion, world history; massive documentation from many texts- Old Testament, Talmud, Egyptian papyri- and from diverse traditions and legends: of Arabia, Babylonia, China, Finland, Greece, Iceland, India, Japan, Mexico, the Pacific Islands, Persia, Peru, Rome, Siberia, Tibet, West Africa.

913. The 1989 ISIS/SIS Nile Cruise [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... view passing satellites or shooting stars would often result in astronomical asides as well. Most days began early, around 6am in order to view sites before the day's heat grew too intense, but even on days when there was only one site visit the time flew by far too quickly, with lectures on various aspects of ancient Egyptian life and religion by the resident lecturer, followed by less orthodox lectures by ISIS Director David Rohl and co-editor Bill Manley. Where-ever two or three SIS and ISIS members gathered together, be it in the lounge for coffee, or on the deck to watch the ever changing views, or even occasionally round the tiny swimming pool, lively discussion would break ...
914. Remembering Velikovsky [Journals] [Aeon]
... which started a brief and scattered but memorable correspondence. One point in that correspondence deserves particular mention. At the end of 1972, I wrote to Velikovsky, asking him how he interpreted the mysterious passage in Genesis 6:1-4, which has a brief mention concerning the Sons of God marrying the Daughters of Men. Mainstream Jewish and Christian religious scholars, embarrassed by the echoes of paganism contained in that passage, largely deny that "Sons of God" means angels, although the term does carry that meaning elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible. What is usually claimed is that "Sons of God" refers to the offspring of the righteous Seth, third son of Adam. By ...
915. Thoth Vol I, No. 17: June 30, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... . (For the sake of focus, these brief submissions will consider only the cometary Venus.) It is not only possible to answer the question- was Venus formerly a "comet"? --but to answer the question in overwhelming detail, with verifiable data and an inescapable conclusion: Velikovsky's comet Venus lies very close to the center of ancient religious, artistic and literary traditions. How can it be that two researchers, approaching the same field of data, can draw such incompatible conclusions? The heart of the issue, I suggest, has to do with one's approach to the subject matter. In penetrating to the core of ancient celestial imagery, methodology is everything. VELIKOVSKIAN RESEARCH ...
916. On Solomon's Temple [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... from Nof Yam. The whole article seems to be a modern American's view of how things could have been- but without the necessary feeling for the totally different world of the Orient; if the author were to spend a few years in Israel he would gain much more appreciation for ancient ritual which played an enormous part in Israelite life and religion. I share his feeling that the ancient Israelites were accomplished navigators, although I came to this conviction more by considering the tribes bordering the seashore and belonging to the northern kingdom than from the "land-lubbers" of Judah. Eva Danelius On Solomon's Temple, II I have no argument about the navigational abilities of the ancient Israelites and in ...

... N, although the shrine of his symbol, the Sword, faces East. "Send round the glass to the South, from the left to the right hand. All things should front the South." ' This is just the Chinaman's taking his position at the N. But we must now discuss in some detail the aspecting of religious buildings. THE A UGUR'S TEMPLUM. One of the oldest, most permanent, indubitable connexions of the North with the Divinity is assuredly that still subsisting clearly in Roman classical times in the templum of the augurs. And there need be no doubt that the position of that templum has descended to us in Christian churches, and in the ...

... to 1899; catastrophism dominates for centuries, but then gives way to gradualism', section B, From 1900 to 1979: gradualism reigns supreme' and section C, From 1980 to the present day: catastrophism strikes back'. Section A is a very scholarly description of the arguments that raged in the eighteenth and nineteenth century between the religious scientists, who accepted that the Earth and man's history was moulded by catastrophes brought about by the will of God, and the newer approach that was based on the idea that all changes take place slowly by mechanisms observably now. In geology this gradualism' approach is normally credited to Lyell and in biology it is credited to Darwin. ...

... Jewish academy. Nor does the skimpy record reveal the ambitious youth repeatedly denied admission to the University of Moscow because of his Jewish ancestry, only to enroll in the Free University in Moscow maintained by dissident professors who had resigned from the Imperial University in protest against violation of academic freedom. Nor the rebel who once abandoned studies to explore with religious passion the ancient ruins of the Holy Land. Nor does it portray the young intellectual who with burning zeal co-published a series of volumes of the works of outstanding Jewish scholars, assisted by Albert Einstein, who edited the scientific section, and encouraged by Chaim Weizmann, later to become the first President of Israel. Nor the early papers ...
