... to cosmic turmoil. And here, too, one aspect of the story invariably merges with another: WARS OF THE GODS As a mythical archetype, the Doomsday catastrophe is not merely a terrestrial disturbance, it is the story of celestial upheaval. The gods themselves battle in the sky so violently as to rearrange the heavens. Their weapons include thunderbolts and stone, flaming "arrows", fire-breathing dragons, and all-consuming wind and flood. The tale is most familiar to us, perhaps, as the famous clash of the Titans, recounted by Hesiod and other Greek poets. This was the catastrophic aftermath of the Golden Age of Kronos, when "wide heaven was shaken and groaned ...
182. Mars in Upheaval [Journals] [Aeon]
... of even millions of years or hundred of thousand of years, but are only a few thousand years old at most. And this will be based on uniformitarian calculations as well as experimental evidence. According to Velikovsky, Venus' near encounter with Mars ejected the smaller planet from its erstwhile orbit. As with the Earth, Venus discharged planetary thunderbolts to the Martian surface, while meteorites must have struck its surface also. Therefore, it is expected that some of this Martian debris was hurled into space and followed Mars during its journey to rendezvous later with the Earth. When Mars nearly collided with Earth, some of this Martian debris would have fallen onto the earth- and evidence ...
183. The Ring of Truth by Isaac Vail [Books]
... the old legend that shows how the serpent Tiamat (same as Tihamat) made war in heaven and fought against the solar gods? In this conflict the darkening and light-conquering vapors fought the sun forces. After a long struggle, Belus, the spirit of the sun, ended the war by slaying the spirit of the deep by thrusting a thunderbolt into its mouth. This we know to have been a celestial fight, for Belus and his cohorts were in heaven. His arm of thunder was there and the dragon and the deep were there, too. And the canopy chain gains another golden link. The great serpent, Thalath, brings to our view another legend, where ...
... Mesopotamia it passed to Persia, principally in the anthropoid type. It was, however, never adopted by Greece, and it is nowhere met, with in Europe, except, as before stated, in the, Mediterranean islands. When Greece took over from Asia symbolic combinations in which it was originally represented, she replaced it by the thunderbolt. But the aureole, or halo, which is the present coat of arms of the King of Belgium. The story is thus told in Burkes "Peerage" (1895): Agnes de Percy married Joceline of Louvain, brother of Oueen Adeliza, second wife of Henry 1, and son of Godfrey Barbalus, Duke of Lower ...
185. High Energy from Space [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the Phaeton (Typhon) explosion of about 1453 B.C . The mythical Phaeton was such a larger meteoroid or was a falling portion of cometary Venus itself. Child of the Sun, he was let drive his father's chariot, but could not control the horses and burned up much of the world. Zeus finally dispatched him with a thunderbolt to save the rest. Many stories are told, too, of a monster Typhon being struck down in the same time period; probably Phaeton and Typhon are identical; they are certainly related [6 ]. About fifty years after the first great incursion of the comet definitely referred to as Typhon, a second incursion came and was ...
186. The Dragon in China and Japan by M. W. VISSER [Books]
... honour of the god), the deity's thunder rolled and his eyes flashed. The Emperor was frightened, covered his eyes and did not look upon the god, but hid himself in the interior of the Palace and ordered the snake to be released on the hill. For this reason the Emperor altered the deity's name into Ikazuchi ( 'Thunderbolt')". As to the Ryb-i-ki14, this gives the same details as the Gempei seisuiki, which apparently borrowed the legend from it. Instead of Dragon-king", or Dragon-god", however, the ancient work simply calls the deity "Thunder-god" (symbols), which shows that the identification of this divinity with a Dragon-king ...

188. Thoth Vol IV, No 3: Feb 15, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... no one is willing to imagine that civilization appeared in a thunderclap." The use of the word "thunderclap" is remarkably prescient of the authors for it has been established by Talbott, that the over- riding concern of our ancestors was with the actions of the capricious and warring planetary gods. And the weapon of choice was the thunderbolt. It was no earthly spark. It took the strange involuted, corkscrew form of plasmoids and was associated with stones (meteorites) falling from the sky and global devastation. It is therefore of little wonder that mythic traditions were established in an effort to remind future generations of those terrible experiences. Recent evidence from genetic studies suggests that ...
189. A Personal Reminiscence [Journals] [Aeon]
... , geographic, and astronomical questions, it was easy for Velikovsky to jump from the apparent gaps and discrepancies in the ancient data about Venus to the conclusion and unshakable belief that Venus is a young planet, ejected some three thousand five hundred years ago as a huge comet by a great cataclysm on Jupiter. This idea struck him like a thunderbolt and impelled him to search for supporting evidence for his bizarre hypothesis wherever he could. If he was to challenge scientific facts and theories that had stood the test of hundreds of years of careful observations and had great predictive powers, he had to play the game of the scientists, which meant far more than just making some broad statements ...
190. Cosmic Winter [Articles]
... . And it was because of the perception that things in the sky were driving things, terrible things, that were happening on the ground. Only three hundred and fifty years ago, then, mankind was still in the era of an invisible sky god from a once visible heaven associated with angels, fallen angels, and dangerous demons hurling thunderbolts. We have to get rid of the idea that our ancestors thought that space was empty. They didn't have [the] specialized astrophysical knowledge that has allowed me to build the Taurid stream for you; they just knew it was there. That's really rather a remarkable thing. We've had to unlearn that knowledge in the last three ...
