... to see in a common-sense way that something is fundamentally wrong with Velikovsky's treatment of the text."- Sean Mewhinney, "El-Arish Revisited," Kronos XI:2 "Velikovskians tend very strongly to take facts and ideas in isolation and out of context, and then glue them together."- Roger Ashton, "The Unworkable Polar Saturn," AEON I:3 This Velikovsky potpourri started out simply as an expanded version of "A lesson from Velikovsky" in Skeptical Inquirer (Summer 1986) coupled with (1 ) my talk on Velikovsky's legacies from the Reconsidering Velikovsky Conference in Toronto in August 1990 and (2 ) a defense of my case from Kronos X: ...
352. New Frontiers on the Stability of the Solar System [Articles]
... of revolution is something like 248.4 years. For the rest of them, the period of revolution is mentioned in days. Then in the fourth column we have the number of revolutions of the object that have been observed since discovery. In the case of the classical planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, there is quite a number of revolutions that have been observed. In the case of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto the numbers are very much smaller because their periods of revolution are quite large. But in the fifth column, against Jupiter through Pluto, we have the number of revolutions that have been calculated in ...

... politics or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. Thomas Jefferson- THE MYTH OF THE CENTRAL SUN (2 ) David Talbott (dtalbott@teleport.com)- EDITOR'S NOTE: The following continues David Talbott's introductory comments on the "Saturn theory." New readers are referred to earlier installments in issues of THOTH posted on the Kronia website (address listed at the end of this newsletter).

354. Trisms and Planetary Iconography [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... as the fleur-de-lis or the lotus, sheaves of grain or corn, and- even more abstractly- anchors, hearts, seashells or spades. Readers of David N. Talbott's work on the Saturnian polar configuration will recall how he identified a form that I call a trism as the shape formed by the intersection of the polar mountain and the enclosure of Saturn. (5 ) For certain artistic representations, I will accept Talbott's identification; for others, I will use my own. The following examples illustrate the trism: Figure 2, below, is my sketch of the "Lady of The Beasts," an etching found on a terra cotta amphora (a tall, two-handled earthenware jar ...
355. Ice Fields of the Earth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... The legends are definite but seemingly too rich. The northern peoples talk of terrible ice falls and winters, far beyond historical experience, and perhaps long before history as we gauge it. In Old Norse, the language of the Edda epics, snow is called eitrornir, "white pus of the dragon." Martin Sieff writes: "Saturn is the solar system's treasury of snow'... The Greeks associated the planet Saturn (Kronos) with snow and hail, which were thought to be the planet-god's weapons; Nonnos told of the "shining victory of Zeus at war and the hailstorm-snowstorm conflict of Kronos..."[4 ] Could the ice have fallen ...
356. The Female Star [Journals] [Aeon]
... content of myth will recognize the validity of Eliade's observations. Yet, as insightful and compelling as Eliade's vision of myth proves to be, there is one gaping hole in the argument: No explanation is offered for the origin of the specific themes uncovered- Creation, the Golden Age, epoch-ending catastrophe, etc. It is here that the Saturn theory has an important contribution to make, for it holds that these particular mythical themes commemorate specific historical events witnessed by ancient man the world over- namely, spectacular cataclysms associated with the respective planets. The Lady of Heaven A survey of the mythology surrounding Venus reveals a vast set of endlessly recurring themes: the planet as mother goddess ...

... is adjusted such that nitrogen, oxygen, and argon summed equal 100%, neglecting the .036% other gases present in the atmosphere. The ages in column 2 were added by G. de Q. Robin in The Climatic Record in Polar Ice Sheets (Cambridge University Press, 1983), p. 2. APPENDIX II. SATURN AND THE FLOOD The Venus and Mars catastrophes of Worlds in Collision are only the latest in a series that, according to Velikovsky, involved every planet visible to the naked eye, at one time or another. Critiques of the Worlds in Collision scenario began appearing even before its publication in book form. This may have something to do ...

... an example, Mr Livingstone offers the question of the asteroids - remnants of a destroyed planet? Members wishing to join in a discussion by correspondence on this subject or on the origin of the Moon are asked to write directly to: David Livingstone, "Ferndale ", Somerton Hill, LANGPORT. Somerset, England. "Super Lightning on Saturn"source: Daily Telegraph 1.9 .81 Voyager Two scientists have announced the discovery of immensely powerful bolts of lightning emanating from Saturn's "B " ring. The energy pulses in this lightning range from 100 to 1000 megawatts (cf. the normal energy output of a power station at c. 300 megawatts). A " ...
359. The Pentagram of Venus [Journals] [Horus]
... in Figure 1: each successive period of eight years forms another pentagram rotated 2.4 degrees. The pentagram was the secret symbol of the Pythagoreans, and provides a basis for linking Egyptian, Greek, and Babylonian mythology and astronomy. Conjunctions of other planets also define geometric figures, such as the Trigon of Great Conjunctions or Jupiter and Saturn (Figure 2). Figure 1 - Pentagramma Veneris Figure 2 - The Trigon of Great Conjunctions In round numbers, the conjunctions occur every 20 years, a Trigon (triangle) is formed in 60 years, and it takes 2400 years for a complete rotation. The Trigon will be considered in a future issue. Even long before ...
360. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... their prerogatives by casting lots; he got the sea', Hades the gloomy darkness' and Zeus the broad heavens high amid the clouds' but notes that "earth and Olympos were left common to all". So Hades is not the god of the Earth. What then is the gloomy darkness'? This seems to fit a Saturn scenario better, with the netherworld being that side of the Earth turned away from Saturn. It follows from this that the sea' is not the sea as we know it but the waters associated with Saturn, and hence we also have the association of serpent' with sea' because that fits a Saturn interpretation, too. 3 ...
