... Earth to blight the good creation. The Old Serpent of the Apocalypse behaved in a similar way. Onniont, the horned serpent of the Huron Indians, cleft mountains and rocks in its terrible career. The deity Kulkulcan of the Mayas of Yucatan is called the feathered serpent whose path is the waters'. This latter description brings us to ... , however, the serpent is frequently represented as wise, as gifted with a vast knowledge both of the past and of the future. It is also versed in the arts; it is often expressly stated to be a master of metallurgy. All that remains of the primeval monster, then, is its vague saurian shape, so strongly ...

... been further elevated. The tides would have also occurred if the Earth's axis shifted suddenly, with a consequent whirlpool of the Earth's waters and a rebounding of the flattened polar rocks. Hence the high peaks upon which heroes around the world were stranded were probably revealed as the waters receded, but might also have been somewhat raised up at the ... from Earth i. Pendant called "The Female Sun." *From Fisher H. Mesmith, Jr., (1979) "Dogon Bronzes," XII African Arts, No. 2, (Feb.) 23.

... floods from the concussion and from the tilting and/or rotational interruption of the Earth. In the course of its encounters in space, the Earth has gained gases, rocks, metals and minerals, possibly even some forms of life, and mechanical motions and electrical charges. It has lost gases and rocks and life, motions and charges ... intuition rather than quantitative evidence [25]. It is ironic that Harlow Shapley, the famous astronomer, admonished the Macmillan company for considering a venture into the "Black Arts" with the publication of Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision [26]. A review of cases such as that the comet Oterma III may be in order, for both ...
444. The Date Of The Loss Of Atlantis (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... deep-cut valleys and high ridges culminating in steep peaks, across which the cable had evidently been laid. The grapnel was frequently fouled by sharp-edged fragments and splinters of a volcanic rock which had been torn off from the jagged sea bottom over which it had ploughed. When this rock was examined by French geologists it was found that it was tachylyte ... Ocean: some part of the domains of the doomed Atlantis. 76 The great discrepancy between their often astoundingly elaborate; `modern', and `European' products of art and their generally very primitive stone and bone tools points, if to anything, to the fact that they had escaped from their unknown homeland to new places of settlement ...
445. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... some scientists have begun to question again certain aspects of uniformitarian philosophy: there are now some signs of a rising neo-catastrophism. The early naturalists interpreted the available field evidence (rocks, fossils, land forms) as pointing toward a discontinuous nature of the Earth's history. The geological record showed that at certain times whole biota disappeared abruptly, and ... coloured by Semitic importations under the XXth Dynasty, comparable to the well-documented influences of the Jewish and Aramaean colonies in Egypt during the Persian period. Velikovsky also argues that the art of Ramesses III's hunting reliefs betrays Assyrian arid Persian influence; he examines temple architecture and religious art to reveal similar misplaced "echoes". Chapter Five deals, unfortunately ...
446. Aphrodite The Moon or Venus? (Continued) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... battles of the sky-gods recited in Scandinavian, Finnish, Hindu, Mexican, Babylonian and other epics. The Greek gods of the Trojan Wars engage in plain soldiering, hurling rocks and spears, shooting arrows, and driving chariots. They make onslaughts from heaven; they launch disasters upon Earth: plagues, fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods ... readily suggests itself as an explanation of this apparent anomaly - the goddess of love and beauty with a beard. On Cyprus, notably at Amathous, Aphrodite was represented in art with a beard, and her masculine appearance led the Roman Catullus to call her "duplex Amathusia" (36). We are reminded of the Assyrian terracotta statuettes ...

... shall I curse when God doth not curse! [766] "Israel is a nation of whom God thought even before the creation of the world. It is the rock upon which the world is founded. For, when God was considering the scheme of the creation, He thought, How can I create the world if the idolatrous ... son of Amram, is this woman permitted me, or is she forbidden me?" Moses said, "She is forbidden to thee." Zimri answered: "Art thou really the faithful expounder of the Torah, whose reliability God praised with the words, He is faithful in all Mine house? ' How then canst thou assert ...
448. Psychoceramics [Journals] [Aeon]
... Christian theological doctrine of a finite universe that had been supernaturally and cataclysmically created some 6000 years theretofore, as more and more evidence of primordial lifeforms were being found in ancient rock formations. Fossilized sea creatures were found by the myriads among the mountain peaks. Sedimentary and igneous rocks were arbitrarily dated in periods covering millions of years, and the ... Consequences Advances in thought and practice from other quarters- scientific and social- are typically quite deliberate and unhurried, and historically seem to always have been so. In the art of psychoceramics, however, the new and the radical have been the marvelous catchwords to spark the imagination and inflame the more volatile creative juices. An occasional dose of ...

... not use the word "evolution" in the Origin of Species? The most fetching geological sight to the eye of even the rankest amateur is the layer upon layer of rocks that often break into view when a profile of land is exposed. William Smith (1815), Lyell's predecessor, did use the word. Perhaps Lyell felt that ... be facilitated. They may occur, for instance, actually in the exploration and mining of minerals and ores.
