... conceit, a remarkable coincidence. Yet this probability is not large either. The coincidence is complex, and the more complex a coincidence, the more likely a causal association. Furthermore, the complex parallel is consistent with a great deal more of myth that is connected with the same planets, such as the great heat and electricity of "Thunderbolting Zeus" and the putting away of Saturn (Kronos) beyond the possibility of his affecting the affairs of Earth or the rule of his son, Zeus. An elementary course in the Greek classics will recite Hesiod's Theogony, wherein Zeus is pictured as the son of Kronos, preserved from being swallowed by his father through the substitution of ...

... that he was fully understanding their dread to enter the accursed Aruna Road. It is the Book of Joshua, which gives us the answer to the strange reaction of the participants to the meeting: It was the very road where, to quote Josephus, Joshua had been relieved of his aggressor's by "God's cooperation manifested by the discharge of thunderbolts." The road had been shunned ever since by enemies of his chosen people. (1 )KRONOS 1, 3 & 4, (1976). (2 )SIS Review, 2, No. 3 (1977/78).

... means. For in truth the story that is told in your country as well as ours, how once upon a time Phaethon, son of Helios, yoked his father's chariot, and. because he was unable to drive it along the course taken by his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth and himself perished by a thunderbolt,- that story, as it is told, has the fashion of a legend, but the truth of it lies in the occurrence of a shifting of the bodies in the heavens which move round the earth, and a destruction of the things on the earth by fierce fire..."

174. Matters Arising [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... in the destruction of the army of Sennacherib, an event described in the Bible as being due to a "ruach", or heavenly blast. Dr Velikovsky identified Mars as being the agent of destruction in the time of Sennacherib and Hezekiah. He also noted that cities in Egypt with the cult of the sacred mouse were sacred cities of thunderbolts and meteorites and that one of these was Leto olis.(11) B. Newgrosh has written in to indicate that Apollo was equated with the Phoenician god Resheph, a god of lightning and war,(12) but who was not equivalent to either the Syrian Hadad/Adad or the Hittite Teshub. In Early Bronze Age ...
175. More on Apollo [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... from Jupiter? And did it leave the two planets with temporary "wings" of gas and dust? This is verified by the parallel myth of the birth of Minerva where Hephaistos assists by striking Zeus on the head. Hephaistos is a multiform of Kronos-Saturn, and his "club" or "axe" must surely have been the planetary thunderbolt that leapt between Saturn and Jupiter. There is also a parallel for the nine days of darkness in the Demeter myth, where the Earth throws a "dark veil" about her shoulders and wanders for nine days with a "flaming torch" in her hand. I think we know what that flaming light was that illuminated places. ...

177. The Subjective Interpretation Of The Events And Their Authenticity, Part 2 Mars Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the Scriptures, in the days of Isaiah the sun was interrupted in its course, turning back ten degre es on the sundial. That night the army of Sennacherib was destroyed by a blast. In Egypt this victory over the common enemy of the Jews and the Egyptians was observed in a festival at Letopolis, "the city of the thunderbolt"; the holy animal of the city was a mouse, and bronze mice inscribed with the prayers of pilgrims are found in its soil. Herodotus saw there a statue of a god with a mouse in his hand, commemorating the annihilation of the army of Sennacherib. The story he heard gave as the cause of the event an ...

... nebulous filaments, pulsars, galactic jets, quantized redshifts .. . each has its separate and ill-fitting conventional excuse. But all can be explained as aspects of the single phenomenon of plasma. The Saturn Theory extracts a coherent intelligibility from the recurring plots, characters, and forms of globally-dispersed stories, artifacts, and symbols. Dragons, cosmic thunderbolts, radiant goddesses, lightning-scarred warriors, sacred enclosures, world mountains, revolving crescents, universal floods .. . each has failed to conform with commonplace interpretations. But all fit into a logical unity of the polar configuration. Both the Saturn Theory and the Electric Universe are exciting ideas. But together they establish a viewpoint that replaces the ...

... did not wear his new crown easily. For his new order of the world was attacked in earthshaking revolts, first by the Titans, who were Saturnians, and then by the Giants, who were ferocious humanoid dragons. Then later, Typhon came to threaten his rule and was sent crashing to Earth. In all of these battles Jupiter's thunderbolts racked the universe. The Earth was violently convulsed. Seth, then, must somehow supply in Egyptian myth and in the sky the material for the four great battles of Zeus or Jupiter. We therefore make Seth an alter ego for Zeus in the revolt against Saturn in Egyptian legends: he does the dirty work against the old god ...
... sonic boom or a deep rumbling roar... "65 Sagan feels that Velikovsky has given extremely "inadequate justification" for his statements that "Meteorites when entering the Earth's atmosphere make a dreadful din." Why should Velikovsky justify what all competent astronomers know? Lightning and magnets Next Sagan wishes Velikovsky to justify his claim that "a thunderbolt when striking a magnet, reverses the poles of a magnet."66 What Velikovsky had postulated is that the Earth's magnetism can be reversed by immense cosmological lightning strokes. In fact, the very year that Sagan first delivered his paper on Velikovsky, 1974, Michael Purcker published a paper in EOS on just this question. Purcker's paper ...
