... below the observed rate of 22%. For the 2,088 sports champions in Gauquelin's sample, such a difference is statistically very significant (because of the largeness of the sample); the odds are millions-to-one against its having occurred by chance. I did what I could with the material at hand. Even while continuing to analyze this strange problem, I sent Kurtz a paper which he relayed to others interested in the case, among them Jerome, Abell and Marvin Zelen (then director of the Statistical Laboratory of the State University of New York at Buffalo, but soon to move on to Harvard University). The paper, while suggesting that there might be a natural ...
412. Changes in the Times and the Seasons, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Moses the course of the heavenly bodies became confounded.(12) The month of the Exodus, which occurred in the spring, became the first month of the year: "This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you."(13) Thus, the strange situation was created in the Jewish calendar that the New Year is observed in the seventh month of the year: the beginning of the calendar year was moved to a point about half a year away from the New Year in the autumn. With the fall of the Middle Kingdom and the Exodus, one of the great world ages came ...
413. Trisms and Planetary Iconography [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... anomalous behavior within the solar system, particularly involving Venus, Mars and the Moon. (4 ) Figure 1, below, is my rendition of the ancient Greek duel of Menelaos and Hector over the body of Euphoros, with a checkered triangle (described as a gameboard) suspended between them. While the duel appears real enough, the strange decorations in the background do not. Did these decorations represent objects visible in the sky during the Trojan War or were artists merely depicting symbols whose meaning is still unclear to us? And, if these decorative objects were real, how do they fit into Velikovsky's scenario? Are planets hiding Waldo-like in the sky, perhaps accompanied by celestial ...
414. The Origin of Mankind [Books]
... From: In the Beginning: God by H. S. Bellamy CD Home | Contents In the Beginning: God VII The Origin of Mankind And here reveals itself a strange thing, almost unanimously all mythological systems regard man as having been created out of inanimate materials, chiefly clay, and sometimes stone. The few myths which mention organic materials, wood for instance, tend to appear almost like fanciful inventions. We shall investigate presently why the mythological transmitters of the creation accounts believed man to have been made out of earthy materials. At this point we want to show up the peculiar fact that; for some obscure reason, the idea that min was modelled, or ...
... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Two: The Comet And Its Work II - Cometary Earth Contact And Life WE pass for a while from meteors to comets, for the purpose of examining the relation of these strange visitors with our solar system generally and the earth in particular. Exactly what distinction should be drawn between a comet and a meteor is not too simple. For instance, was the body seen in Rome on December 24, 1924, a big meteor or was it a comet? The only tentative definition I can offer is that a comet is a celestial body of size seen by observers in the heavens, and that a ...
416. Only A Stone'S Throw From MacMillan. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... many facts from the domain of astronomy that attest to the existence of unlawful phenomena. The sun emits radio noises which by its heat alone it could not produce. The sun has an atmosphere which is much hotter in its corona, or outer envelope, than in its photosphere, under the corona. The sun gives off gases that follow strange trajectories and then fall without acceleration. The planets influence terrestrial radio reception. The solar tides in the upper atmosphere, on the day and on the night sides, are much greater than the lunar tides. Another crowd of illegal facts comes from the spades of archaeologists and from the desks of decipherers. Several hundred years are unaccounted for ...

... others in this well-assembled and interdisciplinary issue is the Editor's exchange with Professor Ager of Swansea (cf.

418. Distorting and Reconstructing the Past [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... nation was found to have built a great empire which eventually encompassed the whole of Mesopotamia. Indeed Akkadian kings claimed conquests outside of Mesopotamia, and it soon became clear that archaeology had stumbled upon the world's first great military power. The Akkadian kings had subdued the ancient land of Assyria, and one of them, Sharru-kin, bore a name strangely reminiscent of the Assyrian king Sargon, well known from the Hebrew Scriptures. After three generations, Akkadian power waned, and the non-Semitic Sumerians regained their independence. In the settlements of Lower Mesopotamia scholars found eloquent testimony to the high level of civilisation now attained by these "Neo-Sumerians". There was proof of an accurate and standardised system ...
419. Before The Chair Of Jupiter. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... can pull all the other gods and the Earth with his chain, being stronger than all of them together; and that an old commentary (by Eustathius, a Byzantine scholar) states that this means the planet Jupiter is stronger in its pull than all the other planets combined, the Earth included. Einstein admitted that it was really very strange that the ancients should have known this. When, after three quarters of an hour during which we were served tea, we rose to go, Einstein kept us, saying, "We have only started." In order not to appear a bore or a fanatic of one idea, I repeatedly changed the theme of conversation as ...
