... strongman hero, Heracles, whose complex attributes and history are well recorded and include the not quite so heroic aspects of a murderous rogue. He was in conflict with the other gods, including Helios, and one of his most important facets is his combat and victory over the lord of death. Although Helios is usually taken to be the Sun, there is plenty of evidence that this god represented Saturn and comparison with other myths where a god known to be Mars is in conflict with Saturn, or the ancient Sun god, leads to the conclusion that Heracles is also a Martian god. Reseph, a West Semitic god associated with Mars, was identified with Heracles in Hellenistic ...
252. Thoth Vol III, No. 1: Jan 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... hold the same story and are in fact the same gods. But why is one story or identity attached to two different celestial bodies? It's simply the way symbolism evolved. When the ancient celestial order dissolved, every body seen in the sky was asked to play a role as SYMBOL of what was remembered but no longer present. Our Sun became the natural symbol of the former central luminary, Saturn, thus receiving Saturn's name as well. The Moon took its name from the primeval crescent on Saturn. The star Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, took its name from the radiant Venus, the "prototype" of stars visible in the sky before any stars ...

254. On Gravitating Electrified Bodies [Books] [de Grazia books]
... are widely separated and relatively insulated, as are the planets now, the electric transaction among them is repulsive, but is opposed by the surrounding cosmic charge trying to fill the electron-deficient cavity, which is the Solar System; the two repulsions nearly cancel out, leading to the illusion that something called gravity produces a very weak attraction between the Sun and a planet or between a planet and its satellite(s ). The fact that gravitation, the Great Mother Goddess of physics, has never been found sensibly to exist has nurtured a mild scandal in science for three centuries. After manipulating logically the relevant parameters (the separation of planets from the Sun and their motions in orbit ...
255. Sir Norman Lockyer (1836-1920) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... majority of scholars did not believe him. Indeed, Egyptologists have consistently ignored the stellar features in Egyptian religion and they treated Lockyer as a figure of fun. He thought the Egyptians used stars and the positions of clusters of stars, or constellations, as forewarnings noted by priests .. . in order to pinpoint accurately the rising of the sun at specific times in the year (at the solstices for example). The priests were able to prepare for annual events by using the stars as a clock. Lockyer visualised the sun as the object which interested the priesthood and he failed to take into account the possibility that something else prominent in the night sky might have obsessed them ...

The materials within these ...

259. A MISSED OPPORTUNITY? [Journals] [Pensee]
... , and new checking. An unequivocal result was eluding the scientific world. The present expedition to Africa will not supply it either. According to the General Theory of Relativity a beam of light from a fixed star is deflected slightly from its rectilinear path when passing near a massive body. The massive body, suggested by Einstein, is the sun. Jupiter's mass, a thousand times smaller than the solar mass, would produce a deflection too small for precise measurement. During a total solar eclipse the star light is visible. Photographs are made of the eclipsed sun together with the optically nearby stars. Then the photographs are compared with the relative position of the same stars during the ...

... of the Inca is reflected in the preservation of Quechua, the Inca language, in a majority of the population. The astronomical focus of Inca religious and civil organization is well known and there are probably few places where concern with preserving the memory of these ancient practices is as visible. The Inca King was himself the divine descendant of the Sun and his entire empire - from the symbolic organization of his court, to the geographic organization of the kingdom itself reflected this passion for the worship of the heavens which has survived, though a distant echo, into the present. About 80 miles from Cuzco, the fabled "Lost City" of Machu Picchu sits atop an 8000 ft ...
