... a fact that Velikovsky's case was persuasive enough to convince a good many critical readers, while an even larger number urged open-mindedness and a fair consideration of Velikovsky's unusual thesis. Analyzing ancient sources from around the world, Velikovsky noted a consistent story of interplanetary conflagrations. It seems that early man recalled the planetary gods as fearsome powers, armed with thunderbolts and missiles, whose battles threw the world into confusion. Velikovsky believed that these stories were based on memories of actual events, a time when the planets moved on erratic courses, waging battles in the sky and menacing our own planet. Near collisions disturbed the terrestrial axis, removed the Earth from its established path and produced worldwide catastrophes ...
92. Dance of the Planets [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... a completely new picture of the ancient world at a very appropriate juncture in modern history - the new millennium. Although there is considerable evidence of these encounters on the Earth and the planets, the primary source of this detail in our scenario comes from ancient myths. In them, the number of encounters, and the floods, earthquakes and thunderbolts that marked each, are clearly spelled out with a detail that could never be determined by examining the physical evidence remaining today. Indeed, we claim that the entire body of sacred myth of all cultures is no more and no less than descriptions of close encounters of Venus and Mars with the Earth. These encounters profoundly effected our terrain ...
93. De Grazian Discography (Reviewed) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from William Whiston in 1696, through Ignatius Donnelly and Comyns Beaumont to the Arch-heretic' (Nature) Immanuel Velikovsky in 1950, whilst undoubtedly wrong in particulars, may well be more nearly correct than a raft of astronomers to whom all catastrophes, if they happened at all, were long ago and far away. If we conjecture that the thunderbolt' which steers the universe' (according to Heraclitus) is global catastrophe - particularly throughout the period of human evolution - then the implications for all areas of human knowledge are profound. The very mutations that led to our anomalously complex brains may have originated in global cataclysms. Given this, it was clear to the great synthesiser Velikovsky ...

95. Thoth Vol S I-III, INCLUDING 66 ISSUES) [Journals] [Thoth]
... Saturn theory. Solid progress has been made on a series of volumes I am co-authoring with Ev Cochrane, and we expect to complete the first volume, _When Saturn was King_, before the end of the year. Also, thanks to organizational contributions from Amy Acheson (our editor of THOTH), we expect the book _Thunderbolts of the Gods_, which I am co-authoring with Wal Thornhill, to be completed by early next year. This book will be the first to present the convergence of the Saturn theory and electric universe. But you will not have to wait for release of these books. Beginning immediately substantial excerpts of both books will be appearing in ...

97. Some Notes on Catastrophism in the Classics [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... :4 mentioning the river Jordan's reversal brings to mind lines from a chorus in the Medea of Euripides, lines 410-413: "The waters of sacred rivers flow uphill, and justice and all things are reversed. Man's counsels are deceitful, and belief in the gods is no longer firm." Heraclitus gives us: "It is the thunderbolt that steers the universe." Fragment 94 is full of interest: "The Sun will not overstep his measures; otherwise the Furies, ministers of justice, will find him out." "Overstep" is interesting. Hyper' means beyond, above, too far. One thinks of Hyperion, the Titan father of Helios. ...
98. The Electric Universe: Part I: Electrical Scarring [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... I: Electrical Scarring Wal Thornhill points out some Grand Canyon features WAL THORNHILL kicked off the afternoon session describing his Electric Universe theory, focussing on electrical scarring on planets. Wal suggested that geologists are unable to simulate the shape of lunar craters with the use of explosives or high speed impacts. And then he begs the questions: are the Thunderbolts of the Gods responsible? In a standard impact, a bollide explodes, creating a shallow dish crater with little melting, shock flows and a butterfly-shaped ejecta pattern. "Complex impact craters, craters with such features as a flat floor, a central peak, and wall terraces, have never been created in common geologic materials in the ...
