... become widespread." "You should not be frightened if you believe that this book of mine is good. Have you read my book?" I asked. He said he had not, but feeling a little discomfited by this admission, he added that he was going to Europe and would read it on the way. This seemed strange to me. As president of the publishing house he personally had answered Shapley, thanked him for "the red flag," then arranged a three-man censorship panel; he had seen the book climb to first place on the best seller lists; he had observed it discussed on the front pages of national magazines and elsewhere, a discussion ...
312. The Mammoths' Demise - a correct solution requires more facts [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Ægyptains, if they do not proceed from defects in their Calender, had no other physical account than this. When the Primæval Earth was made out of Chaos, its form and posture was such as, of course, brought on all those Scenes which Antiquity hath kept the remembrance of though now in another state of Nature they seem very strange; especially being disguis'd, as some of them are, by their odd manner of representing them. That the Poles of the World stood once in another posture; That the year had no diversity of Seasons; That the Torrid Zone was uninhabitable; That the two Hemispheres had no possibility of intercourse, and such like: These all ...
313. Rivers Of Milk And Honey, Part 1 Venus Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the heat under the cloud cover liquefied the grains and volatilized them.(64) The ground absorbed some of the liquefied mass, as it absorbs dew. The grains also fell upon the water, and the rivers became milky in appearance. The Egyptians relate that the Nile flowed for a time blended with honey.(65) The strange appearance of the rivers of Palestine- in the desert the Israelites saw no river- caused the scouts who returned from a survey of the land to call it the land that "floweth with milk and honey" (Numbers 13:27). "The heavens rain oil, the wadis run with honey," says a text ...
314. The Comet Venus, Part 1 Venus Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the illusion of the ancient Toltecs and Mayas? but, What was the phenomenon and what was its cause? A train, large enough to be visible from the earth and giving the impression of smoke and fire, hung from the planet Venus. Venus, with its glowing train, was a very brilliant body; it is therefore not strange that the Chaldeans described it as a "bright torch of heaven,"(54) also as a "diamond that illuminates like the sun," and compared its light with the light of the rising sun.(55) At present, the light of Venus is less than one millionth of the light of the sun. ...
315. Vishnu Born Of Shiva [Journals] [Kronos]
... progenitor. Having thus personally drawn a blank in my quest, I finally turned to Velikovsky himself. Twice I asked him to substantiate his statement that Vishnu was born of Shiva - once in 1971(2 ) and again in 1972(3 ) - but, although he was kind enough to answer a few other questions, he remained strangely taciturn concerning Vishnu's alleged birth from Shiva. Then, in January of 1976, when he wrote to thank me for my contribution to the Anthology that was presented to him the month before,(4 )he included the following words: "When I looked in my notes and excerpts, I did not locate the source of my ...
316. Radioactivity in the Bible (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... . According to him, passages in several old historical documents, among them the Bible, could be read in a technical way. However, he did not publish his findings until after his retirement. In Forntidens teknik (Technology of Ancient Time)(3 ) and Försvunnen teknik (Lost Technology)(4 ) Kjellson points to the strange preoccupation with safety-measures and damage in the passages of Exodus and other books describing the Arc of the Covenant. He believed that the passages actually described a physically dangerous structure.(5 ) Now let us consider details in Kjellson's argumentation: In Exodus 25:10-11 we read that: ". . . they shall make an arc of ...
317. The Twelfth Planet: by Zecharia Sitchin [Journals] [Kronos]
... . And, in the 1960's, a series of writers - beginning with Robert Charroux and ranging through Louis Pauwels, Jacques Bergier, and Ronald Willis to Erich von Däniken - developed the theory that the Sumerians had been telling the simple truth when they said that their way of life was not their invention but a gift from sophisticated aliens in strange vehicles. Briefly, Sitchin's thesis is that the twelfth planet in our stellar system is a body of Jovian size which orbits the sun clockwise (in a direction opposite to that of the other solar satellites) and has a distendedly elliptical path, with its perihelion in the asteroid belt and its aphelion about twelve times as far away as ...
318. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Three [Books]
... of heaven and the end of earth. ' I come forth and go in the devouring fire on the day of the repelling of the adversaries', says the text in the name of the god. Thus the god with the sacred mouse was a god of devouring fire." Now let us look at Wainwright's own explanation of the strange complex of associations surrounding the shrewmouse, the meteorite/thunderbolt, the Night of Fire festival and the city of Letopolis. It almost goes without saying that Wainwright himself does not invoke either global catastrophism or cosmic upheaval. To begin with, there are rather more interrelated concepts in Wainwright's article than the ones used by V in WIC. ...
319. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... books that lay bare new fundamentals. ' Caught up in this fervor, more than one scientist-reviewer of Velikovsky's book adopted tactics even more surprising than the overt and covert deeds of the would-be suppressors. ** * Before attempting to trace the course of The Velikovsky Affair, we might first recall the unsettling message of the book that initiated that strange chain of events. In Britain, where Worlds in Collision was also rejected by almost all scientists, but with a lesser show of emotion, Sir Harold Spencer Jones, the later Royal Astronomer, summarized its thesis this way: The central theme of Worlds in Collision is that, according to Dr Velikovsky, between the fifteenth and eight ...
320. On the Crab Supernova of 1054 [Journals] [Kronos]
... III: 2, p. 65. In reply to the rhetorical question "[ Why is it that Europe and Islam have left no record of the Crab Supernova?] ", the following information is relevant. Since records of Arabic and European sightings of the 1006 A.D . Supernova in Lupus are known, it does appear strange that the Crab Supernova of 1054 evidently went unremarked. This may be explained, however, by their relative brightness. The former was reportedly as bright as the Moon, while the latter was only about as bright as Venus. Coupling this with the following quote provides a plausible answer to the question. It seems that the Aristotelian concept ...
