... in the structure and nature of the Sun and the Gas Giants. Juergens' radical concept of the Sun was consistent with its "bloated" envelope, its granular photosphere, and its temperature gradient which falls steeply the deeper into the Sun you go. Our knowledge then, in 1980, of the structure and thermal gradients of Jupiter and Saturn showed quite a different set-up. Jupiter and Saturn were known to be hot, and even to emit more radiation than received from the Sun, but the evidence was that the outer layers were relatively cool and the inner layers rather hotter. In other words, Jupiter and Saturn had a "right way" temperature gradient and the Sun ...
372. Thoth Vol II, No. 13: Aug 31, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... is the recent history of the solar system and its people. Modern science has done an excellent job of perceiving and conceptualizing the "leg" of modern times (the past 300 years or so). But when it extrapolates these concepts into the far past- or into the far distance of space- it makes the elephant all leg. The Saturn Thesis, using a comparative method to extract common patterns from ancient myths and symbols, adds perceptions from a different- historically removed- viewpoint. The combination is a greatly-enlarged viewpoint and a radically-changed concept of the elephant. Kuhn again: "[ T ]he scientist after a revolution is still looking at the same world.... [ ...
373. Thoth Vol III, No. 1: Jan 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... TALBOTT replied: For years I tried to find the distinction between "Mercury" as messenger and the "warrior-hero" (Mars) as messenger. I could never find a basis for separating the two. Eventually, I concluded that the effort was misplaced, that there is no distinction between the stories. It's a bit like Sol and Saturn, or Helios and Kronos. They hold the same story and are in fact the same gods. But why is one story or identity attached to two different celestial bodies? It's simply the way symbolism evolved. When the ancient celestial order dissolved, every body seen in the sky was asked to play a role as SYMBOL of what ...
374. The Original Star of Dawn [Articles]
... Thus one should not blame Velikovsky who, on the testimony of Seler, also adhered to the identification, as so did many of his followers. As the British researcher Jill Abery indicated in 1987, however, the civilizing attributes associated with Quetzalcoatl, like those of Osiris in Egypt, would appear to cast the god in the role of Saturn since, in the mythologies of other nations, it is the Saturnian, and not the Venerian, deity who is usually presented as the civilizer of mankind. What seems to have confused the issue, and many a mythologist, of course, is the Mesoamerican belief that when Quetzalcoatl died, his heart turned into the Morning Star. ...
375. The Celestial Harmony, Prologue Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Was it so always? The sun has nine planets. Mercury has no satellites; Venus has no satellites; the earth has a moon; Mars has two small trabants, mere pieces of rock, and one of them completes its month before Mars ends its day; Jupiter has eleven moons and eleven different kinds of months to count; Saturn has nine moons, Uranus has five moons,(1 ) Neptune one, Pluto none.(2 ) Was it always so? Will it be so forever? The sun rotates in an easterly direction. All planets revolve in their orbits in the same direction (counterclockwise if seen from the north) around the sun. Most ...
376. Some Comments on "Still Facing Many Problems" (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... greater problem, thus no final solution is achieved." As an example, he takes my work on circularization by aerodynamic drag(2 ) where I show that the circularization of the orbit of Venus can be explained if we assume the former existence of a large gas cloud in interplanetary space. Ellenberger adds: "His model requires that Saturn once was much closer to the Sun than now and about twice as massive." I must admit that a planet losing 50 percent of its mass seems a strange idea. If it had been a star . . . But let me first point out that the interplanetary gas cloud solves not only one problem, but several. 1 ...

... knowledge amongst the ancient Egyptians which his theory requires, and so "the arcane insights of pyramidology offer no test of the validity of Velikovskian astrophysics." - PURSUIT Fall 1980, p. 151-4 Saturn's Braided F-ring'These two reports, complete with diagrams, tell of the theoretical work being done in explanation of the bizarre shaped F-ring of Saturn, which has a "braided" appearance. S. F. Dermott of Cornell University, writing for NATURE suggests that the ring is produced by resonance effects with the two small moons that orbit on either side of the ring, producing wave effects in the ring particles and the appearance of clumping. His theory requires that the larger ...

... oldest corpus of funerary literature, locate this eternal abode in the northern sky." [29] Yet this same scholar goes on to speak of the Old Kingdom's "exclusively cosmic conception of a hereafter ruled by the sun-god Re." [30] Yet if we view these ancient traditions in light of the unique perspective provided by the Saturn theory, [31] Re's circumpolar location and Hathor's singular relationship to Horus receive immediate clarification. During the period associated with the polar configuration, Saturn and Earth shared a common axis of rotation with the result that the gas giant appeared fixed in the northern circumpolar heavens. As the ancient sun-god, Saturn/Re presided over a veritable ...

A short Review, of what hath been already treated of, and in what manner All methods whether philosophical or theological, that have been offer'd by others for the explication of the form of that Earth, are examin'd and refuted A conjecture concerning the other Parts, their natural form and state compar'd with ours; especially concerning Jupiter and Saturn. THE SECOND BOOK, CHAPTER.I The introduction and contents of the second book. The general state of the rival Earth, and of Paradise. CHAPTER II The great change of the World since the Flood, from what it was in the first ages. The Earth under its present form could not be Paradisiacal, nor any ...
380. Golden Age Canopy by Isaac Vail [Books]
... from the primitive earth while it was in a molten or igneous state. I assumed that the human family living in such a world- environment must have been a veritable hothouse planet; and that the earliest history of the race was misunderstood because it was wrapped in the shadows of that great world cloud, such as today invests our neighbor planets Saturn and Jupiter. When that volume was published its author had already proved from the old thought fossils, that some of the greatest physical, ethnologic, and cosmogonic problems were puzzles to man because old conditions that controlled the planet when man came upon it had passed away. It was assumed that if man were today living under such a ...
