... not in any way, as usually thought, as representative of the moon, although the moon, as the satellite of our earth, is often employed as an adornment to the goddess in the form of a diadem or tiara. All these figures of Phoenician invention depict astronomical science; the balls and pomegranates as meteors, the lotus as spiral movements, the asherdh, like the erect palm tree, or the serpent, in their different forms illustrative of the phallus, in reality the meteor that strikes. This disguised form of science, obscene or primitive, as many imagine it to have been, does represent in actuality the whole principle of creation and renovation, of fructification ...
392. Comets -- the Cause of Historic and Prehistoric Catastrophes [Articles]
... has a mass of something like 1013 tons, on average. Don't get me wrong, there are all sorts of masses, I'm giving you a representative figure. Many of these comets concentrate in things that have only been discovered within the last decade. They are called "giant molecular clouds", and they are strung out along the spiral arms in the plane of our Galaxy. Each one of these giant molecular clouds has the mass of about a million Suns, and going with it is a corresponding mass of comets. I don't wish to digress on the issue now, but we believe comets are made in these molecular clouds and from there dissipate like the stars into ...
393. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and the authors of several articles on catastrophist themes in the established scientific journals, including "A Theory of Terrestrial Catastrophism" (Nature Vol. 282, 29 November 1979, pp. 455 - 8). The article cited proposed that terrestrial catastrophes were caused by the impact of planetesimals initiated by the passage of the solar system through the spiral arms of the Galaxy. Their book seems likely to cause controversy on several counts, but principally because it claims global catastrophes in historical times, caused by cometary impact, and in so doing advocates a revised chronology for ancient Egypt not too dissimilar to that proposed by Velikovsky. Members will be pleased to know that Dr Clube has agreed ...
394. Cosmic Winter [Articles]
... to really doubt that it's got the bare bones essentially there. And we may now be in a very interesting position of being able to say something about the dark matter itself. It could, indeed, be cometary material of some kind, and it could be the very material that makes the stars that we see being made in the spiral arms in the galactic plane. What I'm trying to say is that through grasping at some of these complexities associated with our history-and we have learned more about comets than we would otherwise have done from pure physics alone, carried out, if you like, in its very pure laboratory. The historical findings, I would maintain, and ...
395. Transcript of the Evening Session of the A.A.A.S. Symposium [Articles]
... . Howard Greyber. Is he here? VOICES: [inaudible] VELIKOVSKY: He was here. Well, in a review in 13 June in 1969 in Science magazine, he writes: ". .. while the observers make on e breathtaking discovery after another, leading theorists cling to elaborate reworking of an old purely gravitational model for spiral galaxies that, after four"- it's italicized- "four decades, still does not fit the facts. Models in which the galactic magnetic field plays a role comparable to that of gravitation are almost ignored at this symposium"- the symposium of 1969- "although" they protest, and so on. So you have the ...
396. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... pointed out that Velikovsky had come up with the Hatshepsut/Queen of Sheba equation in 1953 - and still no carbon dating has been done. At least New Scientist printed the letter. Australian Nasca Science Frontiers No. 92,p .1 , New Scientist 3.9 .94,pp.10,36 Patterns of circles, spirals and wavy lines have been seen from the air in remote north-western Australia and no one has any modern knowledge of them. Five long parallel lines have also appeared on satellite images of Western Australia. These are up to 600 km long and 15 km wide and appear only during the day. Infrared detectors indicate that they are then about ...
397. From Myth to a Physical Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... of a spherical Venus, which in turn rests visually in the center of Saturn; in the other image Venus' "atmosphere" has acquired an ovoid shape. In the second part of this series, I will give the reasons for believing that this evolving form of Venus was due to Venus pulling atmosphere from Mars, this gas then spiraling around Venus. What happens to this gas-or dust-cloud is fundamental to the mythical history of the configuration. The Polar Configuration- Earliest Phase Saturn Sign Before proceeding further, I must briefly address issues raised by an ancient image that, for many years, I called the "sign of the enclosed sun"- This elementary image, presented ...
398. Velikovsky's Sources Volume One [Books]
... . They are also visible in the winter months, and about the South Pole, but they have no rays proceeding from them. There was a dreadful one observed by the Ethiopians and the Egyptians, to which Typhon, a king of that period, gave his own name; it had a fiery appearance, and was twisted like a spiral; its aspect was hideous, nor was it like a star, but rather like a knot of fire. Sometimes there are hairs attached to the planets and the other stars. Comets are never seen in the western part of the heavens. It is generally regarded as a terrific star, and one not easily expiated; as was ...
... spans. It had feet also, the lower half of which were complete feet, resembling those which the Dorians put to their bedsteads; but the upper parts towards the table were wrought into a square form. The table had a hollow towards every side, having a ledge of four fingers' depth, that went round about like a spiral, both on the upper and lower part of the body of the work. Upon every one of the feet was there also inserted a ring, not far from the cover, through which went bars of wood beneath, but gilded, to be taken out upon occasion, there being a cavity where it was joined to the rings ...
... against the other all along, for the fourth row was interwoven into the wall, which [also was built of stone]; and the thickness of each pillar was such, that three men might, with their arms extended, fathom it round, and join their hands again, while its length was twenty-seven feet, with a double spiral at its basis; and the number of all the pillars [in that court] was a hundred and sixty-two. Their chapiters were made with sculptures after the Corinthian order, and caused an amazement [to the spectators], by reason of the grandeur of the whole. These four rows of pillars included three intervals for walking in ...
