... presence in the distant past has to be taken as a survival of one in a thousand or even a hundred million events that had the potential of surviving to this day for the shovels and eyes of the primevalogist. Furthermore, the perspective in which the residue or remain is viewed has to be radically altered. It is looked upon as strange aberration, something of an event that had a rare quality to it in addition to its bare survival, something that kept it from being obliterated along with millions of like events from the eyes of the future. It must have had a marginal quality, some special features to augment its chance of survival, and therefore is rarely to ...
342. A Maya Record of Two Thousand Years? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the catastrophe picture." Thompson (1972, 88.89) believes it represents destruction of he world by flood. According to him "the painting depicts floods of water pouring earthward from the open mouth of a celestial dragon with subsidiary streams flowing from sun and moon cartouches suspended from the underside of the creature's body." It is strange he did not comment on the solid objects with which the downpour is charged. Their appearance is unique in the representation of water in the Codex, and they might have been intended to represent meteorites. Just below the dragon is shown an old goddess whom Thompson attempts to identify, but comments further only that "A day sign, ...
343. On the Foundations of the Assyro-Babylonian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... it makes their account of history "certain", but they may be mistaken in both respects. Not every astronomer has agreed that the eclipse of that date was visible in Assyria, e.g . O. Neugebauer. Therefore, there is at least some doubt as to whether the chronicle mentions an eclipse. It is at least strange that this particular partial eclipse should be mentioned, and no full eclipse should be mentioned, thus the event may not have been an eclipse. If it was not, however, Carl Jonsson would apparently not be at all put out, because he thinks that Assyrian chronology would be just as sound if it had not been mentioned. ...

345. Royal Incest [Books] [de Grazia books]
... last of the leaves, so the half-consciously and driven by eddies of customs and calendar, de Grazia saw more of his friends like Livio Catullus Stecchini and of his brother Sebastian. He did not know Velikovsky, and if he had been asked about him, he would have replied that he had never heard of him. This may appear strange, considering that Deg was to be numbered, by whatever scales a social psychologist might invent to distinguish the "informed and involved" from the "ignorant and apathetic," as a high-scorer on information and involvement. He had enough children in the Princeton school system, a half-dozen, to catch the sound of names from all quarters ...
346. Herakles and Velikovskian Catastrophism [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , and we can even suppose that some other man's name has been inserted where we should expect to find Assis or Aseth. I think it is clearly possible to identify Arkhles with Herakles, the murderer of Busiris and possibly of Sousirniré Khian. If we are right, we have met Herakles in an Egyptian source! It is certainly not strange to identify Busiris with a Hyksos king. Velikovsky taught us many characteristics of the Hyksos, especially the way they treated their enemies. Human sacrifice of strangers would clearly corroborate what we already know of them. Besides, Herodotus7 writes: One of the silliest [accounts] is the story of how Heracles came to Egypt and was taken ...
347. The Blind Pharaoh [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... mineral and papyrus records they know. The Ionian historian related that the blind pharaoh recovered his crown after the Ethiopians withdrew from the kingdom. Velikovsky compares his exile with the dwelling of the blind king Oedipus of Thebes in Greek legend, which tells how the latter spent the years of his banishment on an island of dunes.[2 ] Strange as it may seem, Velikovsky overlooked the testimony of Herodotos that the blind monarch had formed in the fens "an island of ashes and earth." [3 ] The facts from Egyptian documents collected by Velikovsky to prove that Akhnaton lost his vision strike me as conclusive. He was helped in his research by the Egyptologist Walter Federn ...
348. Electricity in Astronomy /3 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... after a single violent stroke of lightning, reported by the observer, Dr Griffiths, in the Meteorological Magazine. (Footnote: These could hardly have been more authoritative observations (Griffiths is a Lightning Observer for the Electrical Research Association), but the reaction of scientists consulted about these events was in keeping with their predecessors' response to the strange phenomena reported by Charles Fort (see "Fort for Today", Bookshelf, Vol I, No.1 ) and to the impressive collection of facts gathered and published by Dr Velikovsky in support of his theory of cosmic catastrophes. For example, the Meteorological Office have still refused to comment on the important points mentioned in my letters ...
349. Senmut and Phaeton: Supplementary Notes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... monuments were designed on the basis of very ancient documentary (more likely masonry) records, probably deriving from about 1500 years before Senmut's time. The records evidently included some items which were not at all clear to the ceiling designers, and the position and activity of Serpens Cauda will probably have been one of them. This resulted in some strange interpretations on some of the monuments, such as depiction of the lion with a crocodile's tail. If the identification of Serpens Caput and Serpens Cauda is correct, the small figure between them will be Ophiucus, who is also known as "the serpent bearer". It may also be noted that some authorities see Serpens Caput and Serpens ...
350. Mythology and Repression [Journals] [SIS Review]
... too painful. When so displaced, they still emerge in dreams, doodles, slips of the tongue, or bodily malfunctions. Displaced memories, moreover, are disguised memories. Most dreams, for example, seem bizarre and garbled yet can be related to dreamers' past experiences by means of systematically symbolic interpretation. Myths resemble dreams in depicting strange personages and events that are difficult to relate to ordinary experience, either contemporary or documented. Investigators with a Jungian orientation, whether they are psychoanalysts or mythologists, tend to see myths and dreams as isomorphic with one another: for them, myths are traditional collective dreams, as dreams are ephemeral private myths. In these terms, it ...
