... first civilizations. But why should we believe that the sky has changed so drastically? The best I can ask for is a willingness to consider an argument. I could show you, for example, that certain celestial images preoccupied ancient man to the point of an obsession. A great cosmic wheel in the sky. The pyramid of the sun. The eye of heaven. Also the ship of heaven, a spiraling serpent, the raging goddess, and four "winds" of the sky. The problem for conventional perspectives is that these images are far, far removed from anything we see in the heavens today. But that is only the beginning of the theoretical challenge. ...
172. Megalithic Astronomy and Catastrophism [Journals] [Pensee]
... , if he has, can these only be explained in uniformitarian terms? Before trying to answer these questions, however, it will be useful to sketch in the basic principles of precise astronomical observations undertaken without optical instruments and without accurately built masonry constructions. It is convenient first to concentrate on the problem of tracking the yearly movement of the Sun, because the only way that the exact number of days in the year can be determined is by discovering the actual days of midsummer and midwinter. This knowledge can then be used to construct a precise calendar, the possession of which is surely essential for any more advanced astronomical work. Finding the time of the solstices under these conditions ...
173. The Mesoamerican Record [Journals] [Pensee]
... events, it is precisely to such patterns of significance that we must return. The final goal of our research, therefore, is not simply to have a better understanding of the history of the solar system. It is rather to enter into a more vibrant perception of the history of man's efforts to bring order out of chaos. Fifth Sun and Venus (Teotihuacan) In this paper I would like to take one great civilization, the Mesoamerican, and show how Velikovsky's historical method might be applied to it. It has long been recognized that only the concept of a single civilization is adequate to explain the similarities between a set of cultures stretching from the Mexican highlands down to ...
174. The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... The original presence of Saturn and other planets close to the Earth. More particularly, this would include: The great sphere of Saturn as the unformed world of the creation myths. Saturn as the original sky god, unity, or "heaven" of the First Time, when heaven was close to the earth. Saturn as the primeval sun god ruling before the present Sun. Saturn as a central, stationary, luminary. Saturn's polar station. Saturn as Universal Monarch, king of the world, first in the line of kings, model of the good king. The presence of the Great Conjunction of Saturn's epoch. In the beginning the planets did not just dominate the ...
175. Dating the Great Mahabharata War: A Previously Neglected Clue [Journals] [Kronos]
... noting a previously neglected (although, of course, not unknown) episode in the Drona Parva of the Mahabharata, Section CXLVI. II The background is briefly summed up as follows: Arjuna, the outstanding champion and hero of the Pandavas, has vowed to slay Jayadratha, King of the Sindhus and ally of the Kurus, before the sun shall have set on the day in question. The Kurus know about Arjuna's vow and do their utmost to falsify it by protecting Jayadratha, who also keeps himself well-hidden. The sun is about to set, and Arjuna has not yet managed to come to grips with Jayadratha. Arjuna's charioteer, the divine Krishna, addresses Arjuna: " ...
176. On Comets and Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... Earth could so darken the terrestrial atmosphere that the temperature would drop substantially and photosynthesis would be disrupted, resulting in the mass extinctions which characterized the Cretaceous. (3 ) Another group of scientists has since proposed a theory even more ambitious than that of the Alvarezes. Commonly known as the Nemesis hypothesis, it invokes a companion star to our sun as a co-conspirator of comets in the great extinctions. According to the Nemesis hypothesis, this yet-to-be-discovered star periodically (every 26 million years or so) makes a pass of our solar system disrupting comets from within the Oort cloud and causing them to orbit Earthward. The periodic bombardment of the Earth by these comets, it is argued, ...

179. A Tale Of Two Venuses [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . . he coupled the original suggestion with the acknowledgment that Jupiter is cold." ' What Velikovsky wrote was: "In Jupiter and its moons we have a system not unlike the solar family. The planet is cold, yet its gases are in motion. It appears probable to me that it sends out radio noises as do the Sun and stars. I suggest this be investigated." 2 Bauer, however, challenges Velikovsky's prediction with the following: "Yet by 1962 the consensus was that the surface temperature . . . . was about 1,000 F, not so different from that of Venus described by Velikovsky as hot."3 Bauer, as a ...

Wal Thornhill- From the usual understanding of the p-p reaction, about 1.8 x 10^38 neutrinos are produced by the Sun per second. That means at Earth's distance, some 400 trillion neutrinos go through our bodies every second! This is a phenomenal number, and yet there is not the slightest interaction with any of them. However, detection of these neutrinos would give us a method to "view" inside the solar core because they pass through the ...
