... . In any case, I found it to be very thought-provoking. I hope Cardona keeps up with the high standards evidenced by this particular issue. .. .and one Dissatisfied Customer Vine Deloria, Jr., from Boulder, Colorado, writes: Well...I don't think I will renew. While AEON is devoted to Saturn, it has precious little else and some of the articles are just puff pieces that contribute very little to understanding old catastrophes. I'm into other groups that allow more debate on things other than their own pet theories, so I get lots more to think about. There are too many good scenarios that deserve serious attention out there now ...
232. The Poem of Erra [Journals] [Aeon]
... the puzzle is the fact that Suanna and Emeslam are to be sought for in heaven, not on earth. Thus a wealth of evidence indicates that by the phrase "city of the king of the gods" the ancients made reference to a visible celestial apparition, a fiery band which appeared to circumscribe the ancient sun-god, actually the planet Saturn. The evidence for this remarkable conclusion was presented in D. Talbott's The Saturn Myth. According to Talbott's reconstruction, the band-like enclosure of Saturn formed at once the city, throne, crown, and divine garment of the king of the gods. Thus when the Poem of Erra invokes Suanna, "the city of the king of ...
233. Velikovsky's Martian Catastrophes [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Velikovsky makes much of the Roman festivals held in honor of Mars, (11) but the truth is that the Romans, like other nations of antiquity, revered more than just Mars with their various religious festivals. Among the most celebrated of these was the Saturnalia which, as the name itself implies, was held in honor of Saturn. Among these Roman Martian festivals, Velikovsky stressed that of tubilustrium which took place on March 23rd. (12) This was of great significance to him because certain other events were also said to have transpired on that date. The conclusion he reached was that one of the most devastating Martian catastrophes had occurred on that date and that ...
234. Varves And Bok Globules (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... could have come about unless it moved through a cloud of dust. Stars embedded in such clouds of gas and dust cause the clouds to glow. Had the Solar System passed through such a cloud, its effects on Earth would include a sky that would be fairly evenly illuminated both day and night. This would also mean that, before Saturn arrived, there was no means of telling the passage of time. The refraction and reflection of the Sun's radiation would also entail an even climate. While the globules are cold, Earth would still have received infrared radiation from the Sun. It is difficult to determine from the myths exactly what transpired during the age of darkness, but ...
235. The Advancement of Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... in Jupiter of nuclear detonation. This is not new, the idea that Jupiter is in fact a mini-sun, sub-critical, having been about for some time. However, on reviewing the presentation after having read your work and Worlds in Collision, I can understand the probabilities of electromagnetic ejecta, and even massive emissions from that planet, and Saturn. You might want to look for a work by P.M . Kolor and L.E . Wharton on this subject. Both are at P.O . Box 142, Greenbelt, Md 20770. References to Plato in Worlds in Collision have led me to an interesting finding, something you must be quite familiar with from ...
236. Indra's Theft of the Sun-God's Wheel [Journals] [Aeon]
... What time thou settest near the Sun thy body, thy form, Immortal One, is seen expanding." And, if Mars' association with disturbances of the Sun is surprising in these early astronomical texts, it is no more surprising than it is to find that Babylonian scribes expressly identified the Sun in these omen texts with the planet Saturn! (94) These anomalous traditions of a disturbance of the Sun associated with the planet Mars demand an explanation. It is our contention, of course, that such reports preserve an actual historical reminiscence- albeit one that is typically couched in mythical language- of a profound disturbance of the ancient sun-god (Saturn) occasioned by the ...
237. Ring Counters and Calendrical Cycles [Journals] [Horus]
... 11 planets", which included the Sun and the Moon are listed in order according to their supposed distance in the first column of Table 1, along with the hours ruled by each planet. Table 1. The Ruling Planets of the Hours of the Days. The planets are listed in the order of their distance from the Earth, Saturn being the furthest, and the Moon being the closest. The hours of the day ruled by each planet change every day for seven days until the cycle is complete. Looking down the first column of hours, we see that on the first day Saturn is the ruler (astrologically speaking) of the first hour, Jupiter the second ...
238. Indra: A Case Study in Comparative Mythology [Journals] [Aeon]
... that it did, how does that finding contribute to our understanding of the mythology of Indra? In order to answer these questions it is necessary to refer once again to previous articles in this series, where it was argued that a decisive key to the mythology of the hero is Mars' particular role in an unusual celestial configuration associated with Saturn. (102) The Polar Configuration In Worlds in Collision, Immanuel Velikovsky argued that the universal myth of the dragon-combat reflected a celestial drama of recent occurrence, one which featured the planet Venus in a wildly erratic orbit. In that bold and highly controversial book Velikovsky set the stage for a revolution in mythological analysis by suggesting that universally ...
239. A World with One Season: Part I [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2001:2 (Sep 2001) Home | Issue Contents A World with One Season: Part I DWARDU CARDONA starts his talk with no build up: Earth was once a satellite of Saturn, and it was once extraneous to our Solar System. Perhaps Saturn was a brown dwarf star. Earth did not orbit Saturn (as the Moon does the Earth), but shared the same axis of rotation. Hence there was no day/night, only daytime. There was a springtime-like climate. But are seasons necessary for life. The word seasons' derives from the Latin word sationem ; the accusative, satio ( 'sowing') or ...
240. Thoth Vol II, No. 15: Oct 1, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... temporal extrapolation. The frog is swimming in an uncharted ocean where myth and redshifts proclaim: HERE BE DRAGONS. Universal Gravitation is beginning to look like a dead frog in a farm pond.-Mel Acheson thoth@Whidbey.com- THE TWO FACES OF "PLAUSABILITY" by Dave Talbott On several occasions recently, in reference to the Saturn theory, David Davis raised the vexing question of physical plausibility. This is a first shot at putting the question into perspective, particularly for those such as David D who were not present as such questions were discussed over the years. The problem involves two radically different fields of evidence - human memories on the one hand, and physical ...
