... handicapped did not change the facts that had just been disclosed to him. There followed a long silence and Goldberg finally replied, "I don't think my editor would be interested in this material." I sensed he was very uncomfortable with the information he had been given and did not know how to deal with it. This is certainly strange, since here was an indication that Sagan's work on Velikovsky was so scandalous that any journalist might wish to investigate further. This was not the case with this reporter or with the journal he represented. Nor have I found this to be the case with other journals, such as the New York Village Voice, whose editor I telephoned ...
702. A Fire not Blown [Books]
... the bird world. The cornix, crow, is mentioned by Horace as the prophet which, by its cries, foretells rain, cornix augur aquae. Vergil also mentions it in the same context, Georgic I:388. In Norse it is kraka. The Greek korax is a crow or raven, and the word can mean something strange and unexpected. Odin had two ravens, Hugin and Muninn. Huga is to meditate, muninn is to remember. Princes and army officers wore feathers on their headgear to suggest that they would strike their enemies as if with lightning. Minos is described as cristata casside pennis, with a crest of feathers on his helmet. It was ...
703. Chapter 14 Agronomy and Climatology [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . "The difference between the two figures is too great to be attributable to refraction, which makes the sun still visible over the horizon after it has set. Thus, the greater length of the day corresponds to latitude 34 57', and points to a place 21/2 further to the north; we stand therefore before a strange riddle [vor einem merkwürdigen Rätsel]. One tries to decide: either the tablets of System II do not originate from Babylon [though referring to Babylon], or this city actually was situated far [farther] to the north, about 35 away from the equator."16 Since the computations of the astronomical tablets did refer ...
... his son Agrippa, junior. (20) This treasury-chamber seems to have been the very same in which our Savior taught, and where the people offered their charity money for the repairs or other uses of the temple, Mark 12:41, etc.; Luke 22:1 ; John 8:20. (21) A strange number of condemned criminals to be under the sentence of death at once; no fewer, it seems, than one thousand four hundred! (22) We have a mighty cry made here by some critics, as the great Eusebius had on purpose falsified this account of Josephus, so as to make it agree with the parallel account ...
705. Velikovsky's Sources Volume One [Books]
... owed its release from Egyptian bondage to the Venus Comet- if V is correct, that is. Yet in G's legends, Venus is nowhere associated with anything of the kind. Instead, the imagery of the morning star, as applied to Esther in the above passage, is all that appears on the mythological stage. Is this not strange? Section 7. Greek & Roman Mythology. Throughout this section the "Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology" is denoted by LEM, Page numbers refer to my 1966 edition. The text is subdivided into numbered subsections for ease of reference. (1 .) Athena. Vclaims that the warrior goddess Athene was a mythological representation of the planet ...
706. "As Above, So Below" Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Straight-Line Phenomena [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... need not cause moderns too much concern. Their answers to the origin of these phenomena are no better, as that of Roberts' [1963:136] typifies: he wants "the seismic waves to tell the truth, and we want to be able to recognize the truth when we see it." He finds it quite "strange that men of great mental powers of the classical philosophers failed to adopt the simple solution of scientific objectivity- of believing only what was obvious under observation and logic. But their habits of thought led them into different ways [38]." What is the present state of earthquake and volcano research? According to Jahn [1972: ...
707. Evidence From the Moon, Newgrange and Stonehenge Indicates Lunar Disturbance [Journals] [SIS Review]
... further and more detailed exploratory work by specialists in these fields. The Moon Figure 1 Distribution of Lunar Maria. Left: near side, Right: far side (after P. Moore, The Moon, 1981). The moon always shows the same face to us - it appears not to rotate [3 ]. It has three strange features: the crusta which covers its core is thicker on the side away from us; the maria, or seas' - craters filled with debris - are largely confined to the face we see (fig 1); the blanket of fine glassy debris (up to 60% consists of glassy agglomerates called regolith') which covers ...
708. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 95 More data about the Kuiper belt indicates that it contains millions of objects, of which Pluto and Charon may simply be the largest. The belt is probably the source of most short period comets and is 1000 times closer to the Sun than the Oort cloud. Once on orbit through the inner Solar System, and known as comets, strange things can happen to these bodies. Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 has suddenly flared into brightness, suggesting its nucleus may have split and Chiron, designated a comet in 1988 when it was seen to have a coma, has mysteriously lost this appendage just as it was approaching closest to the Sun, when it was expected to brighten instead. Asteroid Geographos ...
... saucers, especially those carrying intelligent visitors from elsewhere than earth; reincarnation; spiritualism; the existence of sea serpents and Loch Ness monsters. The list could be expanded greatly; many books and articles have dealt with relatively well-known cranks and the ideas they espoused. Martin Gardner [113] discusses "the curious theories of modern pseudo-scientists and the strange, amusing and alarming cults that surround them — a study in human gullibility." We are regaled with the ludicrous ideas that the earth is flat or that it is hollow, with us on the inside; with Hans Hoerbiger's theory of successive moons and the prevalence of ice in space; with tales of catastrophic encounters between the earth ...
710. The Paleo-Saturnian System [Journals] [Aeon]
... you and the Cushites [Ethiopians] all the same to me, sons of Israel?" [17] And, according to Ethiopian Jewish tradition, a group of Israelites- mostly priests- took the Ark of the Covenant with them to Ethiopia, where it has since fallen into the hands of idolaters. These traditions are all very strange to me since the Torah considers Israel as the center of the world. And yet, as the above illustrates, Jewish tradition also bestows on Ethiopia something of a unique status. Could it not, therefore, be possible that the north pole of myth, the site of the World Mountain, was what is now Ethiopia? People ...
