... , Rustem releases his king, whom the demon held prisoner, and restores him to his throne. He himself continues to accomplish miraculous feats in battle, and at last, like Hercules, falls a victim to the wiles of a near relative. Among the Norse legends there is no type of this particular figure, but another form of sun deity, correlative with Apollo, makes his appearance in the person of Baldur, the bright and beautiful god of eloquence and purity. Indeed it is the death of Baldur that brings the fall of Asgard and forms the central feature of the Eddaic story. The Sanscrit Vedas also tell of the bright and shining Indra, who though resembling ...
272. Orbits And Their Measurements [Journals] [Kronos]
... dependent. The same sort of interrelationship exists among many of the measurements that can be made of a planet's orbit. This paper is concerned with the interrelationship among nine such quantities, where only two of the nine are independent. The nine are: a the semimajor axis of the planet's orbit, often called the planet's mean distance from the Sun e the eccentricity of the planet's orbit P the planet's orbital period (sidereal period) rmax the planet's distance from the Sun at aphelion (its farthest distance from the Sun) rmin the planet's distance from the Sun at perihelion (its closest approach to the Sun) Vmax the planet's maximum velocity, which occurs at perihelion Vmin the planet's ...
273. Chapter 3 Astronomical Sothic Dating [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... and if conventional Sothic dating turns out to be a chimera, Egyptian chronology will need to be revised and reconstructed upon more secure foundations. And once that is done, the chronologies of all those neighboring peoples will also have to be revised and reconstructed. Move the Egyptians, and you must move their neighbors." Lynn E. Rose Sun, Moon, and Sothis op.cit., p. XXIII Once Manethon's kings' list had been accepted and modified according to the evidence from several areas of historical research, there still remained a basic problem. How could this series of kings be firmly established on scientific grounds so that the dates of the dynasties, pharaohs etc ...
274. The MacCecht and Cuchulainn [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1995 No 2 (June 1995) Home | Issue Contents The MacCecht and Cuchulainn by Phillip Clapham O'Rahilly [1 ], describes the Irish hero the MacCecht as a sun god because he was huge in stature, a giant who carried a large gold cup which O'Rahilly clearly saw as the cup of the sun. The sun was worshipped in pagan Europe and elsewhere but it is not exactly clear why. It may have been in fear of the sun failing to appear due to atmospheric obfuscation: diminished sunlight implies lower levels of warmth and low growth of crops. The MacCecht differed - he was feared for himself and his appearance. He ...

277. Thoth Vol II, No. 19: Nov 30, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... significant not only because our mission is to reconcile the historical argument with VERIFIABLE physical data, but also because it never hurts to be reminded how frequently authoritative pronouncements on matters of physical plausability turn out to be incorrect. Now let's move to some other issues relating to collinear conditions. Perhaps the space program can help here. To study the Sun, the international SOHO satellite was placed in a collinear relationship to Earth and the Sun (actually, a "halo orbit" around the collinear equilibrium position called Lagrange 1), so that as the Earth revolves around the Sun, the satellite remains between the Sun and the Earth. Discounting the movement around L1, you have- ...
278. Plato. Ch.2 To Know And Not To Know (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... of setting in not too long after one of the natural disasters, actually the last. But simultaneously with the phenomenon of incipient, almost willful, amnesia, one can observe an opposite current, a conscious effort to preserve the memory of events that shook the framework of the earth, events in which the entirety of nature-sea and land, Sun and Moon, and all the celestial host-participated. Fifty years after Herodotus visited Egypt, Plato came there, hardly thirty years of age, soon after having parted from Socrates, who drank his cup of hemlock. When Plato was about ten years old he heard what Solon, generations earlier, had learned from the priests of Egypt about ...
279. The Stones Of Ballochroy [Journals] [Kronos]
... Scotland, one comes across the standing stones of Ballochroy. This megalithic site consists of three menhirs set in line with each other and a kist (or cist), i.e . a sepulchral chest constructed of stone slabs. Seven miles away is the tiny island of Cara. It has been noted that, at midwinter, the Sun sets behind Cara Isle as seen in line with the menhirs on Kintyre. Alexander Thom and his followers have seen in this site an ancient solar observatory. In the opposite direction to Cara, to the northeast, is an unobtrusive outcrop which is also in line with the stones and the kist. According to Thom, the line to ...
280. Darkness Over Sinai (Where was Moses when the light went out?) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1992 No 2 (Jan 1993) Home | Issue Contents Darkness Over Sinai (Where was Moses when the light went out?)By David A. Slade In Jewish tradition the Israelites did not see the face of the Sun during the wandering in the desert because of clouds. They were also unable to orientate themselves on their march. No cause is given for these overcast conditions. This forty year-long obscuration is considered by Velikovsky as being due to multiple prolonged volcanic eruptions and the gaseous tail of a great cinder-trailing comet [1 ]. The degree of darkness' is not known, but it is common knowledge that cloud cover during ...
