... obvious implications of your work." I hope, therefore, that more KRONOS readers will read my book and judge for themselves the inadequacy of Cardona's "not entirely useless" tag.(3 ) II Cardona claims that in treating Worlds in Collision source by source I perpetrated a "neat trick" in that I dispersed Velikovsky's evidence over seven volumes and thus deprived it of its true impact. "Forrest's work, if nothing else, appears persuasive", Cardona wrote, "but only to those who are ignorant of Velikovsky's method." (p . 90) Now, one of the main points of Velikovsky's Sources is that Velikovsky took snippets of myths and texts out ...
582. Myths of the Great Fire (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... of yellow copper and kept in a large pail of gold (various aspects of the disintegrating satellite). The Voguls, nomadic in the Northern Urals, tell in one of their myths how Num Tarem, the Fatherly, meditated on a mode of destroying Xulater, the Devil. He caused a holy fire-flood to sweep over the Earth for seven winters and summers, which killed everything- except Xulater. Even the raft of the few men who were saved became quite charred. Guamansuri, according to one tradition the father of the Peruvians, produced thunder and lightning by hurling stones with his sling. The Australians at Western Point, Victoria, have two versions of the fire myth. ...
583. Oedipus and Akhnaton [Journals] [Pensee]
... Oedipus and Akhnaton (page 149) Velikovsky writes: "The unknown war in which, according to the paintings in his tomb, Tutankhamen took part was apparently the war against his brother and the allied host he brought against Thebes. Both died young, killed in that war." --the same war described in the Greek play, The Seven Against Thebes. Harrison and Abdalla single out as the "most prominent feature" of Tutankhamen's skull X-ray "two dense shadows, the first along the vertex of the skull and the second occupying the back (posterior) region of the skull." (Antiquity, 46 [February, 1972], 11). They promise a ...
584. Scientifically speaking... [Journals] [Pensee]
... Disc. Cretan Calendar Metonic Cycle and Golden Number G Meton's discovery, announced at the Olympic Games in Athens, generated so much enthusiasm that his formula was engraved in gold in a public place. The successive numbers from one to nineteen, henceforth known as golden numbers G, identify the individual years of each separate cycle. His designation of seven values of G (3 , 6, 8, 11, 14, 17 and 19) as leap years- when a thirteenth month containing 29 days is added to the 12, 29, and 30-day months- is known as the Metonic cycle. The present Hebrew calendar year 5735, for instance, corresponds to the golden number found as ...
585. The Mount of Salvation [Books]
... richly victualled. According to another myth of the same tribe, not one, but several of their forefathers found refuge in caves. Similarly, the Arawaks of British Guiana, tell that their forefathers found safety in caves when AlomunIondi He who is on high determined upon a general destruction of the world by fire. The Ancient Mexicans told that seven brothers found salvation from the cataclysm in a cave of a mountain which the water god Tlaloq had indicated to them. The Tahitians tell that the survivors from the cataclysm took refuge from the flood upon the highest mountain. There they had to hide in a cave to escape a great rain of stones' which descended then. The Santals ...
586. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... less successful. She has frequently passed up the opportunity of using sub-headings where these would have been useful (e .g . there are four entries for Hatshepsut, where we might have had a main entry with sub-heads) and has never used a second or third level of sub-division. Thus, there is a main heading CATASTROPHE, covering seven pages of text, but the sub-headings under it are simply alphabetically listed (not always with the most obvious keyword), rather than being grouped by subject. And clearly she is less at home with science than with history, as shown by missing cross-references (e .g . from MAGNETISM to MOON, Magnetic remanence) or by ...
587. How Much Did They Know? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the two researchers is not the only reason for treating their results with some reserve; both assume a theoretical basis whose existence has not yet been amply justified, and one would welcome a statistical analysis of the type used by Thom in establishing the existence of the Megalithic Yard. With Stecchini in particular, the number of significant figures (regularly seven, and sometimes as many as nine) quoted for his equivalents seems quite unrealistic. At least once his figures show him making the kind of error common with schoolboys given a pocket calculator for Christmas: that of giving the result of a calculation to a greater accuracy than the original data. He quotes Petrie's measurements of the King's Chamber ...
588. Forums [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . 6. E. W. Crew: "Lightning in Astronomy", Nature Vol 252, No. 542, No. 5483 (Dec. 13, 1974), pp 539-542. Notes on a Possible Pre-Deluge Catastrophe B. O'GHEOGHAN This would have occurred in the time of Enosh, son of Seth and grandson of Adam - seven generations before Noah. The name Enosh means "sickly", which was explained by Ginzberg (1 ) "mankind became ill in his time". The nature of the ill that overtook mankind? Idolatry. This is borne out by Genesis 4:26: "And to Seth, to him also there was born a son ...
589. Horizons [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , Ypsilanti, MO MI 48197. USA. Per year (2 issues): $12.00; overseas $15.00. No. 6 of ZS was published this July, and contains three major "Dialogues" concerning "Pathological Science", failures to replicate remote viewing with psychic subjects and a selected group of "Seven Evidential Experiments" concerning ESP faculties. The issue also presents an illuminating selection of the varied responses received from 300 professional scientists to a questionnaire concerned with research into Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster (which suffers somewhat, however, from the omission of the questions asked). The Velikovsky issue is at present on the sidelines; but ...
590. The Creation of the Earth -- General Remarks [Books]
... man's body, which needs an interesting, if peculiar, explanation' to. save the passage from rejection and ridicule. Both P and J also show a doublet in the Deluge myth. P says that Noah took one pair; of each species of animal into the ark, which is not unreasonable; while J .makes Noah take seven pairs, which is highly dubious. It is to be regretted that such doublets are not more numerous. As we have hinted before, the designation Priestly Code' does not mean that this material was written up from an ancient treasure of myths by priests', that is religious officiants. We shall presently show up the peculiar. ...
