... -- III The Polar Sun Saturn's mythical history includes two themes which not only contradict the planet's visible appearance today, but seem to mock the canons of modern astronomy: Saturn, not the solar orb, was the authentic "sun" -god of ancient ritual. Throughout Saturn's reign this sun-planet remained fixed at the north celestial pole. These two themes, affirmed by the straightforward testimony of ancient sources, compose a global memory: in the beginning Saturn did not move on its present remote orbit, but ruled as the central sun around which the other heavenly bodies visually revolved. Of this tradition early man has left us evidence far too numerous to cover fully in this ...
... , such as today revolves with great swiftness around the planet Jupiter. To make emphatic the inevitable conclusion set forth in nearly all my publications, such canopies must have fallen very largely in the polar regions, and as a result must have left at times an opening in the polar heavens through which the stars, and the light from the sun and moon peeped in upon the earth, while all the rest of the heavens were hidden from the gaze of inhabitants. Such canopies as we see revolving about other planets today, are certainly the wreck of annular (ring) systems, dust and cloud-like matter falling from the equatorial skies of a planet to its poles. An earth ...
13. The Ring of Truth by Isaac Vail [Books]
... , we apply our law of uniformitarianism to the planetary world, and say that the Earth and Mars and Saturn and Jupiter, are in a condition today actually resulting from the pre-existing molten state, and are all evolving from that condition along a line of uniformity. In the first place then if one of these worlds, stars, or suns does not evolve according to this law, it is following a law of its own- in fact, it is moving along a line of adventitious or accidental conditions. In the second place, if all the planets including the Earth started together in the fiery state, all must follow this line of uniformity. If any one of ...
14. The Sun Ages, Prologue Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Sun Ages An oft-repeated occurrence in the traditions of the world ages is the advent of a new sun in the sky at the beginning of every age. The word "sun" is substituted for the word "age" in the cosmogonical traditions of many peoples all over the world. The Mayas counted their ages by the names of their consecutive suns. These were called Water Sun, Earthquake Sun, Hurricane Sun, Fire Sun. "These suns mark the epochs to which are attributed the various catastrophes the world has suffered."(1 ) Ixtlilxochitl (circa 1368-1648) ...
15. The Not So Stable Sun [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. V No. 1 (Fall 1979) Home | Issue Contents The Not So Stable Sun Earl R. Milton Copyright © 1978,1979 by Earl R. Milton When we look at the Sun optically, we see an opaque sphere of light, the photosphere. The photosphere emits a continuum of light whose intensity profile plotted against frequency resembles the emission of a black body of temperature 6270 K.(1 ) This temperature is sufficient to boil the most refractory element, tungsten.(2 ) The origin of this emission is attributed to high velocity free electrons in transition from one path to another as the electrons collide with atoms or ions of ...

The timescales that matter to man are those of decades, centuries, and, at the most, millennia. What happens over the next ten years is of vital importance to all of us; with a large global population and complex technological society, some plans now being made by governments and international agencies (construction of dams, roads ...
17. Sun and Saturn by Morris Jastrow Jr [Articles]
... Sun and Saturn by Morris Jastrow Jr From: Revue D'Assyriologie et d'Archéologie Orientale, Septième Volume (Vol. VII), Paris 1910 [ CD-Rom Home ] Notes The Sun and Saturn are two very different celestial objects. Yet the Babylonians appeared to confuse' the two... or was it just the translators of the Babylonian texts. This is the first time this article has been made readily available since it was first published in 1910 . In this article, the word "Šamaš" should display as "Samas", but with a caron accent above each letter s'. If not, you should update your browser. For more provocative articles on why the ...
18. Variations on a Theme of Philolaos [Journals] [Kronos]
... number of other ancient writers, of whom perhaps Aetius deserves special mention. According to the conventional interpretation, the system of Philolaos had Earth in orbit around a Central Fire, with the same face turned at all times toward that Central Fire. Those living on the side of Earth turned away from the Central Fire never see it. The Sun, which is farther out from the Central Fire than is Earth, has a slow orbital motion around the Central Fire that produces the year. The orbital motion of Earth produces daylight and night, because the Sun appears to rise and set as the inhabitants of Earth are turned toward the Sun and then away from the Sun. Each ...
19. Golden Age Canopy by Isaac Vail [Books]
... drowned and carried away by the retreating waters. Those in the polar regions would be suddenly entombed in snow. After more than a quarter of a century has passed we find these claims more than justified be the researches in almost every field of thought. Witnesses from almost every land have not failed to testify to the fact of a concealed sun in the cradle time of the human family. Almost every race has presented a heaven shining as a solar regent or substitute sun. Proof has been found that in the early human period man did not see the sun either "rise" or "set". The utter absence of words that can be translated "sun" from ...
20. The Ship of Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... the model distinguishes itself from conventional interpretations of the ship. As we have emphasized, the advantage of the model is that each of the components of the configuration reveals a specific, testable relationship to the others. The crescent, for example, not only behaves in a clear, easily-defined way, but has an equally-clear relationship to the central sun, the surrounding band, the comet-like streams radiating from the band, the four directional streams of the sun-cross, the polar column, and the revolving cometary curl. And in each of these defined relationships the predicted imagery provides a stark contrast to any likely descriptions of the Sun, Moon and stars as they appear to us today. ...
