... , seems to have been lifeless.... The Tassili-n-Ajjer... presents a terrible view from the air: The mazes of jumbled rocks are weathered so regularly that they resemble gigantic but deserted blocks of houses with a network of exactly divided streets which no longer belong to any earthly region. It is a nightmare picture of a strange constellation in which nothing exists which can be compared in the remotest degree to anything on Earth."39 According to Lamb, based on the established chronology, "The archaeological excavations at Ur, Kish, Fara, and Nineveh have given clear evidence of breaks in the stratification caused by flooding episodes, all dated between 4,000 ...
692. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Pole Star [Books]
... and terminus are connected with the Chinese Tai-Ki or Great Extreme of all things. With reference to what is said at p. 367, I find that Mr. Crawford's Kalevala (p . xv) gives the Finnish name of the polestar as taehti. The Greek word for a nail would at once give an adjectival form. It is strange that we might thus get a purchase upon all the resemblant divine names, similar to that which Karlis the key(stone) has already so often given us in this Inquiry, upon the divine names that seem to contain that word. But this hare cannot be further hunted here and now. The strong Roman superstition of driving nails ...
693. Chapter 13 Scythian Princes in the Royal Tombs of Ur [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... transl. From German by B.H . Rasmussen (NY 1995), p. 44 47 Renate Rolle, The World of the Scythians, transl. Gayna Walls (London 1989), p. 22 330 VELIKOVSKIAN Vol. VI, Nos. 1, 2, 3 The Scythians at Ur, of course, were in a strange country and may have built a huge mound to place all their dead leaders close to one another, perhaps to communicate with or be near their kinsmen. If Cardona or anyone has doubts about this mound, Keith writes of the Royal Tombs at Ur: "The remains of this group were found in graves under the Tomb Mound' ...
694. The Great Comet Venus [Journals] [Aeon]
... kings? When Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan encountered the "death of kings" idea, they offered the usual explanation, calling such ideas "the triumph of superstition" and assuming the fear arose from the random coincidence of certain kings dying at the time comets appeared. (121) Velikovsky's critic Bob Forrest was even less impressed with the strange idea. While noting that the death of kings is "perhaps the commonest" theme of all, he adds- Certainly I see no pressing need to postulate cometary "collisions" on the basis of the "evil" reputation of comets any more than I need to invoke cometary/planetary exhalations to explain good wine years. ( ...
695. The Ship of Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... .I have tied the mooring-rope in Djedu." (151) Sometimes the reference is simply to the "rope" of the bark. (152) "I will cast the rope of the great bark," says the deceased in the Coffin Texts. And very frequently, the reference to a rope of the ship alludes to strange mythical settings that can only baffle the specialists. This is a reminder that I have found the rope which was severed and I have knotted it. I have found the ferry-boat which was lost [in] its flood water. (153) Tell me my name, ' saith the Rope. Hair with which Anpu (Anubis) ...
696. The Moon In Upheaval [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... tons of meteoric fragments were collected from the crater and near vicinity." (65) G. J. H. McCall, an authority on meteorites, fully understood the physics of meteorite impacts and is cited by Patrick Moore regarding the dearth of this material on the Moon. Moore states that "meteoric material does seem to be in strangely short supply, and one of the world's leading authorities on meteorites, G.J .H . McCall, has even asked plaintively, `Where have all the meteorites gone? ' if the Moon is 4.5 billions years old." (66) The plaintive aspect of McCall's question is that no one knowledgeable of meteorite ...
... on that arch at all, though Josephus, an eye-witness, assures us that it was carried in this procession. All which things deserve the consideration of the inquisitive reader. (10) Spanheim observes here, that in Graceia Major and Sicily they had rue prodigiously great and durable, like this rue at Macherus, (11) This strange account of the place and root Baaras seems to have been taken from the magicians, and the root to have been made use of in the days of Josephus, in that superstitious way of casting out demons, supposed by him to have been derived from king Solomon; of which we have already seen he had a great opinion, ...
... , nor pillaged the country. To which Nicolaus made this answer: "I shall principally demonstrate, that either nothing at all, or but a very little, of those imputations are true, of which thou hast been informed; for had they been true, thou mightest justly have been still more angry at Herod." At this strange assertion Caesar was very attentive; and Nicolaus said that there was a debt due to Herod of five hundred talents, and a bond, wherein it was written, that if the time appointed be lapsed, it should be lawful to make a seizure out of any part of his country. "As for the pretended army," ...
... the dirty, dishonorable, demeaning things they did were a moral obligation, and God (or at least the god of mainstream science) were looking down upon them and approving. They could not be evil. Nay, as the quotations I have cited indicate, they were heroes, saving society and protecting its best interests. That, strange as it seems, is how mainstream science ultimately saw itself with regard to Velikovsky, as Defender of the True Faith. It is bizarre, it is perverted, it is not reasonable, it is certainly not scientific, and this is the problem we will try to solve. * * * A solution of a certain kind is ...
... (which would be the highest instance of impiety,) that they had themselves placed those donation about the temple which were still visible, and had remained there so long a time; that they did now irritate the Romans to take arms against them, and invited them to make war upon them, and brought up novel rules of a strange Divine worship, and determined to run the hazard of having their city condemned for impiety, while they would not allow any foreigner, but Jews only, either to sacrifice or to worship therein. And if such a law should be introduced in the case of a single private person only, he would have indignation at it, as ...
