... . 202) that she "cared little after [her] father's death what anyone thought of [her] father's theories" and adds nothing to them here (although Charles Ginenthal provides almost a hundred pages of supplementary material). For someone who lived in close, nearly daily, contact with her father for a half century she is strangely silent about how the infamous Velikovsky Affair affected the family. Veiled hints appear occasionally: "Just as my father worked to vindicate his father, finding himself distracted from his own life and family, I spent much of my time trying to help my father during years when the fury of the scientific establishment weakened his body and spirit" ...
382. An Answer to "The Danunians and the Velikovsky Revision" [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... expansion are the strongest. (Do not forget that "Pamphylian" is a vernacular connected with their tongue and that they have filled the 14th century region rather accurately.) A connection with the letter of Amarna is present, undoubtedly. The name "Danuna" is common in the area in the 14th century, and nothing is therefore strange about Shalmaneser III waging war against a people of this name in- 839. (I will not speak of the meaning of "Dan" in Assyrian, which is "powerful," as in the name of the Assyrian king, "Assur-Dan.") Your introduction of Qode = Kadi = Judge = Dan is very tempting ...
... to represent the sunlight falling upon a statue of the Goddess of the Shrine. Investigations have shown that the zodiac includes a reference to a great many celestial phenomena of the utmost importance. There is no difficulty in recognising some of the zodiacal signs, but there the resemblance to the modern zodiac ends, for the reason that each of the strange processions of mythological personages represents not only constellations, with some of which we may be familiar, but a great deal more. It is noteworthy that the illustration of the very first astronomical point which we have to consider brings out the fact that it is impossible to disconnect Egyptian mythology from astronomy. In the southern half of the zodiac ...
... movements of the heavenly bodies which are produced by the rotation and the revolution of the earth, and the effects of precession, were familiar to the Egyptians, however ignorant they may have been of their causes; they carefully studied what they saw, and attempted to put their knowledge together in the most convenient fashion, associating it with their strange imaginings and their system of worship. Dealing with the earth's rotation, how did the. Egyptians picture it? How was this interaction, so to speak, between the earth and the sky mythologically represented? They naturally would be familiar with the phenomena of dawn and sunset, more familiar certainly with the phenomenon of dawn than we are ...

... as Cape Comorin. Of these populations, the Egyptians and Babylonians may be reckoned as the first. According to Lenormant- and he is followed by all the best scholars- this region was invaded in the earliest times by peoples coming from the steppes of Northern Asia. Bit by bit they spread to the west and east. There are strange variants in the ideas of the Chaldaeans already recovered from the inscriptions and those preserved in the Vedas. Nevertheless, we find a sun-god [1 ] and the following hymn: "Oh Sun, in the most profound heaven thou shinest. Thou openest the locks which close the high heavens. Thou openest the door of heaven. Oh ...
386. On testing The Polar configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... different versions of the same thing? A text from The Egyptian Book of the Dead reads: I am the lord of the crown. I am in the Eye, my egg. . .My seat is on my throne. I sit in [em, as] the pupil of the Eye." (54) Could this strange combination of symbols speak for a level of coherence the experts have yet to penetrate? It is an easily demonstrated fact that each of the symbols listed above signified the dwelling of the sun god and that the Egyptians recorded the god's dwelling as a circle or band. (55) The real problem for the translators is that the sky ...

... constituent of a substance, is itself impervious to penetration by the C-gravitons, and these MIs can also eclipse the effects of CGs. Gravity itself has been assigned a limited range, although its velocity may be 20 times that of light and may indeed be nearly instantaneous. Here we have an alien and unfamiliar universe. And yet, this strange universe has overtones of familiarity about it, wherein relativity plays a lesser role by subjugating the velocity of light to the limitations of the light carrying medium. The graviton, not lightspeed, becomes the limiting velocity in the cosmos. This in total is a marvelous theoretical construct, and later on in his tome, Van Flandern philosophically addresses ...
388. The Love Affair as the Mask of Tragedy [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ," says the thunderous noise. The scene must attract them, for it is their milieu. It is the end of the age, the end of the world. They will be our salvation or our doom. Hephaestus is lying. He knows he is not the son of Zeus but was cast down by Jupiter and took his strange misshapen form (compared with the other Olympians) from the accident. The bed of Hephaestus is by the Moon, not as it is today, even though he is often far away and invisible in the northern sky. But Mars has climbed upon this bed and is trapped in the invisible electrical-gravitational net. The sex bout has ended ...

390. An Ancient Refuge of Man (Built Before the Flood) [Books]
... of the classical period was built on the same site, of material which was transported by water from at least six times as far. The inhabitants of some at least of the settlements near the lowest water-level in the Bolivian Meseta must have attained to a considerable, if peculiar, standard of culture# This is shown in particular by a strange manner of ornamentation. The lowest courses of the building stones of the walls of the Old Temple, for instance, are adorned with peculiarly arranged sculptured heads which, though very crude in technique, nevertheless seem to attempt to portray different features. They are fixed only about a foot from the floor and may have been placed there for ...
