... , and the seeming verities in numbers and geometry were expressions of the divine. We better appreciate, therefore, the care with which the specialists of antiquity tracked the celestial paths of their gods, studied the relationships between their measured cycles, and sought to integrate these with their achievement in quantification. We are also the more nonplused by the strange discrepancies between ancient observations and those expected from the present order of nature. Unless we negate the evidence for the inferred precision of their methods and records, the case for a nonuniformitarian interpretation of natural history takes on a renewed credibility. Figure 8 - The Golden Section *These names for the Queen of Heaven we set forth by Giorgio ...
502. Homo Schizo -- the Catastrophic Evolution of Man [Articles]
... the way. You have to go back and back to find waves of disastrous crises which pile up and are perpetuated by the culture and finally give you the modern man, and you must strip off those layers if you want to go back and cure the man. But going back, as I have already said, is a very strange business, because that means that in order to find the true rational man, you go back and find the man before he had bad experiences, that is the primordial man, who then would be the rational man. A contradiction, I think. Now we move more clearly into genetic changes as the effective cause of humanisation, ...
503. A. The Identification Of The Biblical "Queen Of Sheba" With Hatshepsut,"Queen Of Egypt And Ethiopia" [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... at the war conference held by Thutmose with his generals, it is obvious that these officers knew the country most intimately. 1t seems that their king shared their knowledge and appreciated it, and that he was fully understanding their dread to enter the accursed Aruna Road. It is the Book of Joshua, which gives us the answer to the strange reaction of the participants to the meeting: It was the very road where, to quote Josephus, Joshua had been relieved of his aggressor's by "God's cooperation manifested by the discharge of thunderbolts." The road had been shunned ever since by enemies of his chosen people. (1 )KRONOS 1, 3 & 4, ( ...
504. Saturday: Introduction [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Those who expect, for example, an explanation of the electric universe within the gravity/mass framework will be disappointed .. . there simply isn't any common ground. This really is the continuation and realisation of Velikovsky's paradigm shift. Present day neo-catastrophists struggle to fit their doubts within conventional theory .. . and are failing. It is strange that most innovative' thought comes from unshackled and unblinkered, thinkers who are not influenced by the everlasting battle between the Theorists and Observers. Finally, Velikovsky may not have been the first catastrophist but he certainly has been the most influential in this century. I wonder what we would all be doing this weekend but for his insight. ...
505. Heinsohn's Revised Chronology & Lynn Rose's Retrocalculations [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... act to let the air out of an inflated chronology. The final analysis hasn't been made yet, but so far Heinsohn's revisions work just fine. You have to give up imaginary "Sumerians" and "Mitanni" and start dealing with real Chaldeans and Medes. And you have to give up "dark ages," Sothic dating, strange gaps in the record, and the romance of Biblical chronology. From: Chris Marx ( pakaf@1 .LOL.li) Date: Sun, 16 Mar 1997 22:05:15 + 0100 The fact that belief in C14 & dendro dating (beyond the beginning of Modern Age some 650 years ago) is quite irrational ...
506. The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... , demons, and monsters that populate the mythscape, we never answered the most important question of all: why do the myths insist- with one voice- that before the arrival of the present age there was a quite different time, an age of the gods? In our own time, we don't know what to do with this strange idea. Only rarely do we even pause to wonder if the myth makers may have experienced natural events that are no longer occurring. AEON: What about relevance? How does all of this relate to us today? Talbott: Is planetary history really "relevant"? Yes, in more ways than one. Just consider the money ...
507. Eden's Flaming Sword by Isaac Vail [Books]
... of mists was not a striking feature in every Eden the earth ever saw, and their name is legion. Let us imagine a great fund of vapors on the very bounds of the air. Of course at such a time all the rains or mists that could reach the earth would have to come from that source, It may seem strange to say that the clouds could not form from vapors received from below, but from vapor received from above, but we will have to admit that such was the case the sun in the day time poured all its heat into that vapory sea. That whole watery realm would grow warm. When we reflect that the capacity of moisture-laden ...
508. Tree Symbols [Books]
... which plants are made poisonous, as well as malign influences, crime and madness. Their saliva, the foam which fell from their mouths during the attack of rage, their sweat, their blood itself, were all 110 less to be feared. When any drop of it touched the earth, straightway, it germinated, and produced something strange and baneful, a serpent, a scorpion, a plant of deadly nightshade or of henbane. But, on the other hand, the sun was all goodness, and persons or things which it cast forth into life infallibly partook of its benignity. But Re's saliva gave origin to the serpent which stung him. In the Sait Magical ...
509. Cuneiform Astronomical Records and Celestial Instability [Books] [de Grazia books]
... it are in Plato and Aristotle, but it is presented in detail by later commentators. It would seem that Kugler refrained from using the term comet because he was puzzled by the role of Venus and because the texts mention a globular body similar in apparent size and brightness to the sun. He used the term sun-like meteor' which sounds strange except to those who are familiar with ancient terminology. Aristotle, in order to defend the immutability of the heavens, distinguishes astronomy from meteorology and defines the latter as the study of the appearance in the sky of burning flames and of shooting stars and of what some call torches and horns' (Meteor. I 341 B). ...
510. "In Search of Ancient Astronomies": A Review [Journals] [Kronos]
... astronomical fantasies. He lumps together the works of Velikovsky with those of Von Daniken, Watkins, and Bellamy a gratuitous insult to the distinguished line of scholars who have called for the proper evaluation of Velikovsky's theses. Here Krupp has the arrogance to claim that "data must be handled in accordance with the rules of scientific evidence," a strange statement indeed from the editor of, and prime contributor to, In Search of Ancient Astronomies. Krupp's time would have been much better spent in analysing the book he edited with that rule in mind, for easily eighty percent of its contents would have been excluded had this rule been honestly applied. Despite the imprimatur of Archaeoastronomy (BCA ...
