... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents A Collective Amnesia At any rate they seem to have been strangely forgetful of the catastrophe.- PLATO, Laws iii (transl. R. Bury) IT IS AN established fact in the learning about the human mind that the most terrifying events of childhood (in some cases even of manhood) are often forgotten, their memory blotted out from the consciousness and displaced into the unconscious strata of the mind, where they continue to live and to express themselves in bizarre forms of fear. Occasionally they may be converted into symptoms of compulsion neuroses and even contribute to the splitting of the ...
272. Culture Heroes (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... palace of the noble as well as the hovel of the outcast, and drowned all- except a few upon whom fortune smiled. Among these there may have been men of wisdom and learning. When the Earth had settled to the new conditions imposed upon it by its new satellite, and groups of survivors began to find their way about the strange part of the Earth where the waves had thrown them, one of these princes or priests might join a group. Many myths tell us of such men, the bringers of culture to a people that had lived like the beasts of the fields before their advent. Most of the culture heroes seem to have come from that greatest of ...
273. Sagan's fifth problem: Chemistry & biology of the terrestrial planets (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... , Sagan states that in Exodus, chapter 9, "It is said the cattle of Egypt all died, but of the cattle of the Children of Israel there died not one. ' In the same chapter, we find a plague that affects flax and barley but not wheat and rye. This fine tuned host parasite specificity is very strange for cometary vermin."40 Sagan cites the Bible and then implies that this is what is written in Velikovsky's book. Although he gives a chapter as citation from the Bible, he strangely gives none from Worlds in Collision. Apparently Sagan believes it proper to cite Worlds in Collision and the Bible as if they were the same book ...
274. The Comet Of Typhon, Part 1 Venus Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the fight between Zeus and Typhon took place at Lake Serbon on the coastal route from Egypt to Palestine.(2 ) On the way from Egypt to Palestine the Israelites, after a night of terror and strong east wind, witnessed the upheaval of the day of the Passage. These parallel circumstances lead to a conclusion that will sound somewhat strange. Typhon (Typheus) lies on the bottom of the sea where the spell-bound Israelites saw the upheaval of nature: darkness, hurricane, mountains of water, fire and smoke, recorded in the Greek legend as the circumstances in which the battle of Zeus with the dragon Typhon was fought. In the same pit of the sea lie ...
275. Velikovsky And Planetary Catastrophe [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1997:1 (Sep 1997) Home | Issue Contents Thoth Vol I, No. 15. June 7, 1997 Velikovsky And Planetary Catastrophe By David Talbott (dtalbott@teleport.com) In confronting the strange consistency of planetary mythology one must ultimately ask the question asked more than 45 years ago by Immanuel Velikovsky, author of World in Collision. At the heart of Velikovsky's controversial thesis was a seemingly outrageous idea. He claimed that planets, moving on quite different courses than observed today, formerly disturbed the motions of the Earth and caused great destruction to ancient nations. These extraordinary events, Velikovsky claimed, are recorded in ancient chronicles, ...
276. Investigating the Mound-Builders' Astronomy [Journals] [Horus]
... Horus Vol. 1 No. 3 (Fall 1985) Home | Issue Contents Investigating the Mound-Builders' Astronomy F. Glenn Graham Grave Creek Mound; Moudsville, West Virginia Of all the early peoples of North America, none has evoked more curiosity or offered more mystery than the Mound Builders. Scattered up and down the Ohio Valley is a strange legacy of large burial mounds and associated structures. The largest single mound is at Cahokia, 111. It was a tiered structure about 100 feet tall and nearly 670 feet wide, though it shows signs of erosive wear. It stands among a variety of systematically aligned lesser mounds, some of which contained mass burials. The whole complex ...
... In Asgard, too, they transmuted metals. Says the Voluspa: The Asar met Who raised on the Idavdll Altars and high temples; They laid hearths, they wrought wealth, They shaped tongs and made tools, They played chess on the grass-plot; They were cheerful; They did not lack anything of gold.3 It is a strange description of this magic city of the gods and of Odin, the Scandinavian Hermes. It not only bears close resemblance in some respects to Plato's capital of Atlantis-whose name he never mentions-but equally so with the almost fabulous capital of Crete, the island which claimed to be the motherland of gods and man. The city of Gnossus (or ...
278. Twelfth Or Fourth Century?. Part I Ch.1 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... with the same problem once more. The occupants of the tombs lived either under Ramses III in the first half of the twelfth century, as the scarabs of the pharaoh and that of his father testify, and likewise the amphorae, or they lived in the fourth century or even later: the span is at least eight centuries wide. Strange, but now for the second time in the same surroundings the archaeologists faced the same dilemma. These were no amateurs, not untrained archaeologists, light-hearted or quarrelsome. In the annals of French-Swiss archaeology the name of Edouard Naville is one of renown. The name of Francis Llewellyn Griffith grew to become one of the brightest in the British ...
279. Jerusalem -- City of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... once approximated the common border of the previously divided halves of his newly united kingdom. This was, in part, a purely political move designed to negate the undependable tribal support which he and Saul had experienced; and Jerusalem proved to be a source of devoted non-partisan strength owing allegiance only to the king. Geographically, "it was a strange, relatively isolated capital, recommended by no river, no major road, no convenient market for foreigners."(3 ) In its origins, Jerusalem was the only one of the major cities of the ancient world that owed little or nothing, in location or greatness, to established travel routes in land or sea. The trails ...
280. New Physics Supports Planetary Catastrophism [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ), the resulting ions will be accelerated to anomalously high energies and energetic electrons will create the observed but unexpected x-rays. Io will prove to be a valuable laboratory to study electrical scarring of planetary surfaces. Of course, these ideas have a profound impact on our present notions of dating objects in the solar system by crater counting. The strange asymmetry of cratering on many bodies in the solar system can be recognised as resulting mostly from chance electrical encounters with other bodies. The cratering then occurs in swarms over one face of a planet or moon; dating of planetary features based on crater counting and uniformitarian assumptions about the history of the solar system become worthless. In any event ...
