... have these orbits is not known. Mark Washburn informs us, Phobos is uncomfortably close to Roche's Limit, the theoretical distance from the planet inside of which it is impossible for a large body to form. Deimos, on the other hand, is just outside another theoretical limit, beyond which a body's orbit will take it on a slow spiral outward....If the satellites are left-over material from the solar nebula [or fragments of one body], it is odd that they should have formed [or achieved orbits] so close to these limits. (49) Deimos cannot have been in its more distant orbit, compared to Phobos, because it is quite ...
402. Mammoth Update: A Reply to Ellenberger (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... -Keratin Structure and Constituent Proteins", Science 170 (4 December 1970), pp. 1100-1102 (1101). 21. Tolmachoff, p. 60. 22. Sanderson, p. 83. After positing large scale volcanism, triggered by a pole shift, which sent large volumes of gas high into the atmosphere where it cooled, spiralled to the pole and, descending, punched through the atmosphere in "great blobs", creating winds of unimaginable fury, Sanderson concludes: "Here may be the answer to our riddle of why we find mammoths with buttercups in their teeth in one place, shredded but still-edible mammoths in another, rotting mammoths in a third, and ...
403. Part III: The Legends [Ragnarok] [Books]
... his head from the deep cave, and uttered dreadful hissings." We are reminded of the flying monster of Hesiod, which roared and hissed so terribly. Ovid continues: "The urns dropped from their hands, and the blood left their bodies, and a sudden trembling seized their astonished limbs. He wreathes his scaly orbs in rolling spirals, and, with a spring, becomes twisted into mighty folds; and, uprearing himself from below the middle into the light air, he looks down upon all the grove, and is of " (as) "large size, as, if you were to look on him entire, the serpent which separates the two Bears ...
404. Thundergods and Thunderbolts [Journals] [Aeon]
... Saturnian sun. (From a petroglyph near the San Marcos Pass in California.) As Talbott and I have documented, the form of the axis mundi evolved during the history of the polar configuration. In addition to presenting a pillar-like form or universalis columna, as in Figure 16, a closely related phase saw the axis mundi assuming a spiraling form, commonly interpreted as an undulating serpent or rope stretching across the sky. Figure 17 illustrates an example of this latter scenario. The axis mundi elsewhere presented a ladder-like form. Figure 18 depicts an example of this widespread motif. Traditions of a luminous ladder spanning heaven will be found around the world. A closely related form depicts ...
405. Chronological Problems in the Archaeology of the Hittites [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of Hattusa and Alaça" [99]. Henri Frankfort went further and stated categorically that they were products of the Hittite Imperial age, as their identical iconography and many similarities of detail show. For example, with reference to the lions, he pointed out that "the most peculiar device of hair rendering by a network of single linear spirals was the same as that used on the god from the "13th-century" Royal Gate at Bogazköy [100]. This poses an enormous problem - we have sculptures, undoubtedly of Imperial Hittite style, in an 8th-century archaeological context. Delaporte, the excavator, had no doubt that the Lion Gate dated to the 8th century BC, ...
406. In Search of the Exodus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... with European antecedents, together with the spread of metal technology at this time, a distinct feature of EB cultures in the Pontus and Caucasus). Polychrome and painted pottery, torques, jugs, strongly carinated bowls, toggle pins, oval dishes, and pottery with incised naturalistic designs, architecture, metal-work types, signet seals, portraiture, spiral patterns, all appear in First Intermediate period Egypt and the Levant and in western Asia generally, including the Aegean. The new features were absorbed by the indigenous cultures but reappeared at the end of the MB (in Mitanni) and the LB (Persians, Medes, Scythians, etc.), suggesting repeated waves of horse-mounted Aryans ...
407. Chapter 15 Dark Ages Based on Dark Scholarship [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... pair of greaves . . . . It is contended by Reichel (2 ) that metal greaves are unknown in Homer. He is satisfied that they are the invention of a later age (about 700 B.C .) ." Bronze fibulae, too, were found in the Enkomi tombs, as well as a large tripod with spiral patterns resembling one in Athens, which is assigned to the Dipylon period, ' and a pair of scales of a balance like the one figured on the Arkesilaos vase. But such finds are separated by a wide span of time from the fourteenth century. The silver vases of the Enkomi tombs "are obviously Mycenaean in shape." ...

... word, since it is now (1594-1638) generally received by learned writers to express them by, we also will use the same." And again (p . 130) "when a ship saileth according to one and the same rumbe (except it be one of the four principal and cardinal rumbes) it is a crooked and spiral line" she describes on the globe. Another similarly named star is Spica, the corrupt Arabic name for which, Hazimath al-hacel, is for Al-simak-al-a"zal, the unarmed prop. The Egyptian Ptah was the embodiment of organising motive power, the symbol of the ever-active fashioning generative energy developed from moisture, and M. de Beaumont ...

... the axis of revolution. For the planetary system one could then state as a law. The velocities of the planets are inversely in proportion to simple integral numbers . . . . (Malisoff's emphasis) ". . . we may conceive the propagation as A WAVE OF VELOCITY at the initiation of revolution to follow the law of a logarithmic spiral." (147) (Capitalization added) J. B. Penniston thereafter showed that all the planets and their satellites obey these "quantized" mathematical relations outlined by Caswell that reflect the Bohr atom. (148) Petr Beckmann, in his book Einstein Plus Two, has also derived equations from physical laws that "lead . ...
410. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... been disputed whether Typhon was a comet or a planet. The passage reads: Some comets move like planets, but others remain stationary .. . A terrible comet was seen by the people of Ethiopia and Egypt, to which Typhon the king of that period gave his name. It had the nature of a fire, twisted like a spiral, but it was dismal in appearance. Rather than a comet it was some sort of conglomeration of fire. Occasionally both planets and comets spread out a coma. Wilhelm Gundel, a specialist in Hellenistic astromythology, in his review of Kugler's book sharply rebuked Kugler for not mentioning that all the texts similar to those examined by Kugler ascribed ...
