... of Mazzaroth is uncertain."(26) But the Vulgate (Latin) translation of the Bible has Lucifer for Mazzaroth. The (Greek) translation of the Seventy (Septuagint) reads: "Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season and guide the Evening Star by his long hair?" The words of the Septuagint seem very strange. I have already mentioned that the Greek word komet means "the long-haired one," or a star with hair, a comet. In Latin, coma is "hair." Mazzaroth means a comet, wrote an exegete, and therefore, he argued, it cannot mean Venus.(27) But in any case it ...
472. The Birth Of Venus, Part 1 Venus Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... by Augustine it is written: "From the book of Marcus Varro, entitled Of the Race of the Roman People, I cite word for word the following instance: There occurred a remarkable celestial portent; for Castor records that in the brilliant star Venus, called Vesperugo by Plautus, and the lovely Hesperus by Homer, there occurred so strange a prodigy, that it changed its colour, size, form, course, which never happened before nor since. Adrastus of Cyzicus, and Dion of Naples, famous mathematicians, said that this occurred in the reign of Ogyges. '" (23) The Fathers of the Church considered Ogyges a contemporary of Moses. Agog, ...
473. The Censorship of Velikovsky's Interdisciplinary Synthesis [Journals] [Pensee]
... the Van Allen belts, etc. And it has certainly not been established that even the large scale motions of the planets have always been primarily in accord with celestial mechanics built on gravitation and inertia alone. The history of the solar system is but one branch of natural history, and if historical data conflict with astronomical theories, it is strange that history should have to be rewritten to conform to these theories! Indeed, it is the historical material itself, together with corroborating evidence from other fields, that led Velikovsky to conclude that space is not empty, but is swept by particles and permeated with electromagnetic fields, and that when planets are in close approach they are greatly ...
474. Megalithic Astronomy [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . It is particularly impressive that the long axis of the ellipse, independently discovered, is orientated almost exactly towards Slieve Snaght and there cannot be much doubt that the entire situation and design of the elliptical ring were arranged so that Slieve Snaght could be used as a solstitial foresight. THESE DISCOVERIES make the conditions of the site appear even more strange. It is now clear that it was not completed and that only three stones were set up. The rest were abandoned where they lay, some close to their sockets and some in spots where no sockets had been dug. Some other sockets had been prepared but no stone lay beside them and at least one hole had been deliberately ...
475. Egyptian Cosmology [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... dating certain ancient Egyptian solar eclipses (Aymen Ibrahem, The Hymn to Aten Describes a Total Solar Eclipse, 2000). In this study I am so pleased to accomplish another prodigious labor, the discovery of what I believe to be the Egyptian hieroglyph for eclipse'. Through scores of ancient Egyptian astronomical texts, I have found that a strange term occurred frequently, especially in hymns to the Sun and the dedication texts of the monuments and temples. The term was "the horizon of heaven". The ancient Egyptians referred to solar eclipses as the rising and setting of the Sun in the sky. A text on the base of the standing of obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut ( ...
476. A Skyscraper And A Sparrow. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... happened that between my oral debate with Stewart in February 1951 and our debate in Harper's in June of the same year, J. H. Nelson of RCA Laboratories reported a well-marked relationship between planetary positions and the quality of radio reception, a phenomenon not explainable by gravitational theory.(2 ) A press release stated: Evidence of a strange and unexplained correlation between the positions of Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars in their orbits around the sun and the presence of violent electrical disturbances in the earth's upper atmosphere .. . seems to indicate [that] the planets and the sun share in a cosmic electrical balance mechanism that extends a billion miles from the center of our solar ...
477. ...more Myths Monuments and Mnemonics: A Photographic Tour of Egyptian Antiquities [Journals] [Horus]
... errors in their temples, or that their astronomy was more symbolic than observational, and that their own written history is fantasy, not fact. But at day's end on the Nile, in the quiet golden light of sunset over the Valley of the Kings, one senses strongly that this can't be so. On the contrary, it seems strangely certain in that timeless moment that far more will change than conventional attitudes toward global natural catastrophes or scholarly faith in the conventional dates when the actual history of Ancient Egypt becomes known. ...
478. "Copernicus? Who Is He?", Atwater Thrown Overboard. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... this phenomenon occurred and was observed, Harper's Magazine with the Eric Larrabee article, the first to tell the story of the forthcoming book, was just on the stands. The timing of this first collision in the solar system claimed to have been observed by modern scientists, with the appearance of the article, took on the quality of a strange coincidence. Struve will write: Once again we have the question of "worlds in collision" and the resulting fragmentation of planetary and meteoric bodies. It is a bizarre coincidence that 1950, which produced the much-discussed Velikovsky book of science fiction, also produced a deluge of sound papers on various problems connected with collisions within the solar system ...
479. Censors Appointed. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... these timid adventurers hurriedly smell their way back to the well scented customs and go on running to and fro, twiddling antennae with those who do likewise, happy apparently to keep clear of those realms that have not the proper social fragrance. If a natural calamity disturbs the aromatic trail of the Dolichoderinae, consternation and helplessness ensue. If a strange insect appears, blind fighting results-then back to patrolling out and in; a sudden obstruction on the path, brief excitement follows, and the trail is reestablished with as little diversion as possible from the former path, and on they go as before; .. . back to the beaten path, no matter how circuitous or absurd it ...
480. Quantavolution and Solaria Binaria [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... and most habitats around the world and the atmosphere everywhere will be affected to different degrees but markedly. A new world will be soon established over the vast area , and when humans come to inhabit it a long time afterwards, they will not recognize its nature and learned scientists will call it a volcano, until they finally realize that the strange rocks providing the natives with beautiful stone for building are not sedimentary, and then finally, 17 years after a book called Worlds in Collision raises a hullabaloo, a leading French scientist will visit colleagues in Germany at the Ries crater; he will change his mind, and initiate 27 years of research and persuading other scientists that they are ...
