... , as other sources inform us. What this means is that the position of the ring must have changed in relation to the present, but still somehow hidden, Sun. Any physical model that attempts to explain the formation of the primeval Saturnian configuration, whether Grubaugh's or somebody else's, has to account for this change of position. The Seven Worlds The evolution of the cosmogonic egg did not stop there. As I have been maintaining for several years, the Saturnian band eventually evolved into a seven-fold ring, (185) a postulate that I had first proposed in 1978. (186) If the cosmic egg, then, was really an ancient analogy of the Saturnian band ...
192. Velikovsky's 360 days/year calendar [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... " which has a number of days with a large number of factors. In fact, Velikovsky himself noted that "Despite their knowledge of the correct measure of the year and the month, the Greeks, after Solon and Thales, continued to keep to the obsolete calendar, a fact for which we have the testimony of Hippocrates ( 'Seven years contain 360 weeks'), Xenophon Aristotle, and Pliny. The persistence of reckoning by 360 days is accounted for not only be a certain reverence for the earlier astronomical year, but also by its convenience for every computation." Of course, that a 360-day year reflects an "earlier astronomical year" rather than merely a ...
193. The Primordial Light? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the light emitted by the sun, the moon and the stars, which appeared only on the fourth day." (72) This "primordial light" is hinted at again at the time of the Flood: "In the week of mourning for Methuselah God caused the primordial light to shine." (73) Now Methuselah died seven days before the great Deluge (74). And seven days before the Deluge Noah and his family took refuge in their Ark: - "And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth." (Genesis 7:10) Had the "primordial light" served as God's ...
194. The Recurrent Scourge. Ch.5 The Age Of Terror (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... It continued from 1914 to 1918. There is an unmistakable pattern in this recurrence of events repeated after approximately 104 years. But also halfway between these wars were wars of continental dimensions, so that the real pattern has fifty-two years from the beginning of one great explosion to the beginning of the next. In the eighteenth century it was the Seven Years' War (1756-63), the worldwide struggle of Austria, Russia, France and their allies against Prussia and England that gave England the decisive advantage over France in North America and India and the West Indies, and made Prussia the great opponent of Austria. In the nineteenth century it was the Civil War (1861-65) in ...
195. Chapter 15 Dark Ages Based on Dark Scholarship [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... The same method of dotted lines is to be seen again on a pinax from Cameiros in the [British] Museum, representing the combat of Menelaos and Hector over the body of Euphorbos, with their names inscribed. That vase also is assigned to the seventh century B.C . Is it possible that the Mycenae and Enkomi vases are seven or eight centuries older?" Analyzing the workmanship and design of sphinxes or griffins with human forelegs on a vase, the archaeologist stressed "its relationship, on the one hand, to the fragmentary vase of Tell-el- Amarna (see Petrie, Tell-el-Amarna, Plate 27) and a fragment of fresco from Tiryns . . . and on ...
196. "The Basest Of The Kingdoms". Part 2 Ch.2 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... traveller on "miserable journeys", whose manuscript came to us without its end portion, safely reached Egypt and, what is more important, that he lived in the Persian period of Egyptian history, more precisely, under Darius II. The manuscript and the building were creations of one and the same person, here reunited from two existences seven hundred years apart. As we shall see shortly, the high priest in the Zeus-Ammon (Amon) temple at Siwa who met and blessed Alexander the Great was a third-generation descendant of Herihor. These generations cover the period from the travel of Wenamon in -419 to the advent of Alexander in Egypt ( -332), or eighty-seven years ...
197. The Reflective Canopy Model and the Mytho-historical Record [Journals] [Aeon]
... likened to a war-like army destined for battle. Among these constellations, four stars are chosen as "chieftains." Predominant among these starry chieftains was Gah "which they say is the great one of the middle of the sky"- in other words the Pole Star. (39) In a later section of the same work, seven planets are allotted to the seven chieftains. The guardianship of "the great one of the middle of the sky" was assigned to the planet Saturn (40) ( the sun-god of the Assyro-Babylonians) (41) which directly connects that planetary/solar/deity to the Pole Star or its station. So, similarly, in ...
198. The Spiral and Birth [Books]
... ask what is the uttermost end of the earth; this sacrifice is the navel of the world (II, 138). Agni placed his strength upon the navel of the world17 (II, 76). Present oblations in the three high places upon the navel of the Earth (II, 218). "Those which are the Seven Rays, in them is my nave expanded" (I , 272) may refer to the Great Bear constellation the navel of the northern sky which controls the winds and the seasons. Brahma was supposed, according to a well-known Hindu cult or myth, to have had his origin in a lotus which grew out of the navel of ...
199. Jericho, Part 1 Venus Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... into the river not far from Adam and blocked the water for over twenty-one hours; at Damieh (Adam) the people crossed the river on its dry bed." The fall of the walls of Jericho at the blast of the trumpets is a well-known episode, but it is not well interpreted. The horns blown by the priests for seven days played no greater natural role than Moses' rod with which, in the legend, he opened a passage in the sea. "When the people heard the sound of the trumpet," it happened that "the wall fell down flat."(72) The great sound of the trumpet was produced by the earth; ...
200. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... : "Why dost thou shout so?" Moses: "I know what suffering my sister is enduring. I remember the chain which my hand was chained, for I myself once suffered from this disease." God: "If a king, or if her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? I, the King of kings, have spit in her face, and she should be ashamed at least twice seven days. For thy sake shall seven days be pardoned her, but the other seven days let her be shut out from the camp." For want of priest who, according to the tenets of the ...
