... greatest are by fire and water, and lesser ones by countless other means. Thus the story current also in your part of the world that Phaethon, son of Hellos, once harnessed his father's chariot but could not guide it on his father's course and so burnt up everything on the face of the earth and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt - that story as it is told seems like a fable; but the truth behind j it is a shifting of the bodies that move in the heavens round the earth and a destruction, occurring at long intervals, of things on earth by fierce fire". Plato, Timaeus, 22 C-D "These words of Plato received the ...

... the sky which annihilated the human race. The Wanyoro in Unyoro likewise relate that the sky fell on the earth and killed everybody: the god Kagra threw the firmament upon the earth to destroy mankind.(10) The tradition of the Cashinaua, the aborigines of western Brazil, is narrated as follows: "The lightnings flashed and the thunders roared terribly and all were afraid. Then the heaven burst and the fragments fell down and killed everything and everybody. Heaven and earth changed places. Nothing that had life was left upon the earth."(11) In this tradition are included the same elements: the lightnings and thunderings, "the bursting of heaven," ...

... an early intellectual mentoring from the works of Velikovsky. Although Velikovsky, over 50 years ago, had seen the necessity to consider the overwhelming evidence that electricity had played a role in cosmic catastrophes, modern astronomers still never make reference to electrical energy. Wal prefaced his talk with a quote from Heraclitus, c. 500BC; It is the thunderbolt that steers the universe'. He mentioned the pioneering work of Dr Charles Bruce, who in 1941 identified cosmic jets, solar flares, magnetic fields and high temperatures as electrical discharge phenomena, and who is still ignored today; also Ralph Juergens, who regarded the Sun as a giant ball of lightning and not, as is generally ...

... is not mentioned in such detail; in the annals of Mursilis we read (Cuneiform Texts from Boghazköi 4, II 15): 15: But as I marched, as I reached the mountains of Lawasa 16: The pround weathergod, my Lord, showed me his godly might (pa-ra-a-haan-da-an-da-a-tar), 17: and he cast down a thunderbolt (Gis kal-mi-sta-na-an)/and my army saw this thunderbolt 18: The land of Arzawa saw it too And the thunderbolt went forth 19: And hit the Land of Arzawa, and the city of Apasa of Uhha-Lu-is was hit. . . . Cuneiform Records from Boghazkoi XVI 15, II 2: 2: (reached, then ...

... fire in the tholos, the temple of Hestia (Latin Vesta'). The word can be explained as he who waves the fire' (Greek pyr' = fire). The Greek tanuo means I stretch out', or I put in violent motion'. Zeus is prytanis steropon keraunon te', brandisher of lightnings and thunderbolts (Pindar, P.VI:24). In Homer, the verb is used of Zeus on Mount Ida, stirring up a battle (Iliad XI:336). Another verb meaning brandish' is tinasso, which suggests the god Tin, the Etruscan equivalent of Zeus. The Etruscan zilch, or zilc, was a ...

... world is endangered by the planet Venus plays an important role in the ritual of the Skidi Pawnee Indians of Nebraska. Next in rank to Tirawa (Jupiter) stands the Morning Star. "Tirawa gave most of his power to the Morning Star."(103) "Through her four assistants, Wind, Cloud, Lightning, and Thunder, she transmitted the mandates of Tirawa to the people upon earth." Next in rank to the Morning Star "were the gods of four world-quarters, who stood in the northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest and supported the heavens. Next in rank was the North Star. Below these in turn were the Sun and Moon ...
267. Natural Catastrophes in the Ninth Century AD C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in the night sky and for 837 AD and the transition to the following year, they continued: A mighty whirlwind kept breaking out, and a comet was seen, sending out a great tail to the east, which to human eyes looked as it was three cubits long … 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...and the distress and misfortune of men grew daily in many ...

... brought terror to the army underfoot. . . . The sun a sickly halo round him had; coiling within it frightened eyes could see great, writhing serpents . . . and in the very circle of the sun were phantom jackals." There fell, with darting flame and blinding flash Lighting the farthest heavens, from on high A thunderbolt whose agonising crash Brought fear and shuddering from a cloudless sky. There came a pelting rain of blazing coals With blood and bones of dead men mingled in; Smoke and weird flashes horrified their souls; The sky was dusty grey like asses' skin. The elephants stumbled and the horses fell, The footmen jostled, leaving each his ...

... gods at the walls of Troy. [Athene] would utter her loud cry. And over against her spouted Ares, dread as a dark whirlwind, calling with shrill tones to the Trojans. Thus did the blessed gods urge on the two hosts to clash in battle, and amid them made grievous strife to burst forth. Then terribly thundered the father of gods and men from on high; and from beneath did Poseidon cause the vast earth to quake, and the steep crests of the mountains. All the roots of many-fountained Ida were shaken, and all her peaks, and the city of the Trojans, and the ships of the Achaeans. And seized with fear in ...
270. The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont [Books]
... movement of what was once a world in another solar system, a world containing mountains and seas, forests and ocean depths, living creatures in all three elements including doubtless mankind, bursts up on our vision as a brilliant momentary flash of fire, a meteor, and very probably completes its epitaph as a mere shower of rain or a thunderstorm. Thus do we pass through the gamut of celestial action. I do not claim that in what I have to tell there is any new revelation, because, as has been hinted in this foreword, the ancients were well aware of such matters. It is only new to the modern world because it has been utterly misled by ...
