... . Elias, can steal a valuable object which is the legal property of the Devil. Sometimes the object is the sun, sometimes the "divine power," or thunder and lightning" or even a treaty between God and Devil which had turned out to be unprofitable for God. There remains the essential denouement. During those eventful years ... the gradualness of it all, which is at best a platitude, only good for pacifying the mind, since no one is willing to imagine that civilization appeared in a thunderclap. One could find a key in a brilliant TV production on the Stonehenge problem given a few years ago. With the resources of the puissant techniques of ubiquity, ...
222. Night of the Gods: Axis Myths [Books]
... above, and with his feet or with his hands,20 seems to be an Axis-Trident, probably that double trident, North and South, which archaeologists call "the thunderbolt." When the Satyr attempts violence upon Amumone, daughter of Danaus and Elephantis, Poseidon throws his trident at him, and, missing the Satyr, implants the ... Old-Slavonic and Mr. Wharton adds Old-Latin sarpo; to prime, and OHG sarf sharp. Apo]lodorus preserved a myth which makes the serpent Typhon despoil Zeus of his thunder, and also of the harpy which had been before him the weapon of his father Kronos10; another myth makes Zeus light and lop Typhon with the harps. The ...
223. Letopolis: city of the thunderbolt (Report) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2001:2 (Jan 2002) Home | Issue Contents Report Letopolis: city of the thunderbolt Phillip Clapham Velikovsky expressed an interest in the ancient Egyptian cult centre of Letopolis. This was due, I assume, to its connection with thunderbolts - and its sacred animal, the shrewmouse. The early-mid 20th century Egyptologist, W.E . Wainwright, is still regarded as an authority on Letopolis (see Journal of Egyptian Archaeology XVIII:1932, p. 164 for an article on Letopolis that is quoted by Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision and by Bauval in The Orion Mystery). Velikovsky was eager to make a connection between mice and ...
224. The Revelation of John (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. (4 ) And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. (5 ) And out of the Throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne. . . . (6 ) And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. (7 ) And ...
225. Jove's Thunderbolts. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... From "Stargazers and Gravediggers" © 1983 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Jove's Thunderbolts MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE of the sun and planets made me assume that these bodies are charged, or that, at least, their atmospheres are strongly ionized. I wished for several years that a check could be made on Jupiter. I took the opportunity of my lecture before the Graduate College Forum of Princeton University on October 14, 1953, and after presenting many reasons for believing that the members of the solar system- the sun, the planets, the satellites, the comets, the meteorites- are not electrically or magnetically neutral, made the following statement: In Jupiter ...

... the night. In the same year the heathen again attacked the Christians. 837. A mighty whirlwind kept breaking out, and a comet was seen, sending out a great trail to the east, which to human eyes looked as if it was three cubits long. 838. The winter was wet and windy, and on 21 January thunder was heard, just as on 18 February loud thunder could be heard. And the excessive heat of the sun scorched the earth, and there were earthquakes in some parts of the land, and fire in the shape of a dragon was seen in the air. In that year a wicked heresy arose. In the same year a ...
227. The MacCecht and Cuchulainn [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... does not shine at night. It did not occur to O'Rahilly that the MacCecht was not the sun but another body traversing the sky, such as a comet. MacCecht and Cuchulainn bear some similarities such as a sword which shone at night [2 ]. This was Calad-bolg, which has the meaning of hard or crushing lightning, a thunderbolt of extraordinary proportions, the perfect description of a Clube & Napier-style fireball explosion, the blast pressing downwards on the human world below. In Welsh, calad-bolg became calad-vwlch, which was Latinised by Geoffrey of Monmouth as Caliburnus and became Excalibur of Arthurian romance. (Phillips and Keatman equate calad bolg with flashing sword' [3 ]. ...
228. Our Universe: Unlocking its Mysteries [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... postulate that there is evidence in ancient lore to connect the scarred warrior hero of legend with the god Mars. Yet the planet we know as Mars is only a tiny speck in the sky today; and its deep, 2,400 mile-long canyon (scar), Valles Marineris, cannot be seen from Earth without a powerful telescope. Thunderbolts Between Planets: The myths of many of the ancients tell of violent thunderbolt interaction between the gods. Of course we see lightning on earth today, but never "thunderbolts" that streak between planets. What could have caused these violent interactions long ago? The Ancient Record: Why do pictographs show what is commonly considered to be the ...
229. Pendulums and Sunspots [Journals] [Aeon]
... ) The average voltage of a lightning bolt is about 10,000 volts but higher discharges of up to 250 million volts have been measured. Lightning occurs throughout the world, and it is estimated that 1800 storms producing 100 flashes per second are in progress at any given moment. On a per day basis the Earth experiences 44,000 thunderstorms which produce over 8,000,000 lightning flashes.(35) One hundred flashes per second at 10,000 volts per discharge is equivalent to 1,000,000 volts discharged every second of every day. A large percent of these discharges are from the Earth to the clouds. Kendrick Frazier gives a clear exposition of ...
230. Of the Moon and Mars, Part 1 [Journals] [Pensee]
... degrees. And since all this happened so very recently in geologic time, most of these battle scars should still be prominent and fresh-looking. But what kind of surface markings might be distinctively attributable to close encounters between planets? Religious, historical, and literary texts describing the battles of the planetary gods are fraught with references to cosmic lightnings and thunderbolts. The implication, emphasized by Velikovsky in numerous writings, is that electric discharges took place between the planetary bodies during their close approaches. Furthermore, such discharges were evidently of such magnitude as to be visible from earth even when they did not actually terminate on earth. They must therefore have involved enormous exchanges of energy and have produced ...
