... pole. Cardona also mentioned as a possibility David Talbott's suggestion that Saturn may have moved from phase-lock to polar station. Either way, Cardona says that the polar position of Saturn is an integral part of global mythology. CARDONA: What is of additional importance, however, is the fact that the record of the ancients does not describe this strange situation always in the same manner, but, on the contrary, in a hundred different ways which speaks against a diffusionist borrowing of the belief. To be continued Editor's Note: The Saturn Theory is one which relies on information from many fields, each adding a few ounces to the weight of evidence. In the first two parts ...
812. In the Days of Seti I and Ramses II [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of the two alabaster vases inscribed with the name of Ramses II in the tomb of Ahiram, we can deduce beyond any uncertainty that the tomb, the sarcophagus and its inscription date from the thirteenth century before our era."(6 ) Thus the opinion of an archaeologist. An eminent epigraphist however begged to differ: "It is strange that there should be agreement on this dating of the thirteenth century because of two fragments with the name of Ramses II, though there is not the slightest reason for such dating. After the tomb of Ahiram was robbed in the eighth to seventh century and stood open, grave robbers in a new visit deposited in it vases from some ...

... period, the mytho-historical record itself should tell us as much. Does it? THE TIMELESS ERA Amy: Cardona recounts many myths which not only explicitly claim that time once did not exist, but others which refer to an era when there was no time, and several in which the terms time' and year' and day' are strangely equivalent. He ends up recounting the Chinese record of an age in which the day and night had not yet been divided. ' CARDONA: .. . the first demand raised by our interpretation of the mytho- historical record is actually met by that same record .. . [and] the demand we have just seen being ...
814. Thoth Vol III, No. 10: July 30, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... to planet-worship, especially of Saturn and Venus, who were worshipped together, and with it the universal practice of human sacrifice, e.g . the practice of putting the first-born through the fire, strictly forbidden in Deuteronomy. The Jews were thus the first people to introduce the notion of an _invisible_ god, something new, strange, and to many incomprehensible. Sacrifice did continue, however, as a religious practice, but of beasts rather than humans. In a passage in Exodus, God still demands the firstborn of all animals as _his_, but the firstborn of humans are _redeemed_. (This was presumably the firstborn of the _female ...
815. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... of proven identities, can often lead us to the same goal. This is as true of Huwawa as it is of most Mesopotamian deities and it is precisely this additional, and most informative, data that Thompson, Wilson, and Schwartz seem to have overlooked. With respect to Huwawa, one must first pay special heed to the god's strange attributes. Thus, for instance, Huwawa is depicted with a face composed entirely of entrails, a characteristic which earned him the title "god of the fortress of intestines." Huwawa is also described as having been surrounded by a seven-fold nimbus. (See below for references). What, then, have these attributes to do ...
816. Chapter 1 The Foundations of Ancient History [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of fact, the more we pursue our studies the less are we impressed by the dates which initially filled us with respect. We begin to recognize the framework of chronological history for what it is — a purely hypothetical structure and one which threatens to come apart at every joint. Crooked and tottering, it gives us a picture of a strangely arbitrary history, while at the same time our instinct tells us that ancient civilizations must have had some sort of reasonable and organic growth. When we reach this point in our studies we begin to be doubtful of every single date!"5 In spite of these powerful reservations, Mertz, Gardiner, and Ceram, and the rest ...
... not to Ethiopian priests that the Egyptian Empire owes its origin, its form of government, and its high civilisation; much rather was it the Egyptians themselves that first ascended the river to found in Ethiopia temples, cities and fortified places, and to diffuse the blessings of a civilised state among the rude dark-coloured population. ". .. Strange to say, the whole number of the buildings in stone, as yet known and examined, which were erected on both sides of the river by Egyptian and Ethiopian kings, furnish incontrovertible proof that the long series of temples, cities, sepulchres and monuments in general, exhibit a distinct chronological order, of which the starting-point is found ...

... C DR MCvDR = DM C2 = Mg- (Eq. 5) 2 The radially inward momentum becomes a progressive force. VDR may be expressed as a radial change of DR divided by the rotational period. DR DR MCvDR = M C- = Mg T* 2 T* = 2C /g (Eq. 6) The strange value of 2C in the numerator of T* is known as "The Volume Photoelectric Effect absurdity.(9 ) It's a relativistic change in the state of the energy that cannot occur at the rest state condition of the electron. It requires momentum to execute. The v=2C absurdity can be shown in the following direct substitution ...
... pointed out that a few years ago Sagan wrote, "An explanation of how the surface (of Venus) stays as hot as it does is one of the key unsolved problems in understanding the Venus environment." 12 John S. Lewis' "The Atmosphere, Clouds and Surface of Venus," in The Solar System and its Strange Objects, ed. Brian J. Skinner, (Palo Alto CA 1981), p. 93 tells us that," It is not yet known whether the familiar green house effect can provide such high [Venusian] surface temperatures in a rigorously self-consistent model." If the model was truly correct it would do just that. ...
820. Cosmic and Terrestrial Lightning [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , a fact that he ascribed to a great fire that had been suffocated. Lightning fires may have played a role in the burnings. Recent astrophysical opinion regards Jupiter as a hot hyperactive planet that exchanges bolts with its satellite Io over a distance of 50,000 miles. The bolts are frequent enough to be an arc or current. Strangely, Pliny described great thunderbolts as the "fire of the three upper planets," not to be confused with terrestrial lightning [12]. Today lightning could not discharge over the great distance between Jupiter and Earth, not unless Jupiter were to explode, a great cloud of gases that would drift between the planets and provide a conductor ...
