... ; or of Hermes opening a door - as described in the Iliad - need not therefore bother us. On the other hand, the sending of "portentous lightning flashes" by Zeus should not have been included in this category - not because this fits the theory of cosmic catastrophism while the others do not, but because the emission of thunderbolts by the Jovian deity was a belief that was universal.(38) Forrest himself, whose misusage is often deliberate, knows this well enough and should have known better than to try and set this trap. It can thus be seen that I do agree with Forrest on certain issues. And why not? Forrest has hit quite ...
342. Venus and Sirius: Some Unexpected Similarities [Journals] [Kronos]
... Aztecs was likewise described in terms of "red". Note Duran's description of a Tlaloc idol: "Its horrendous face was like that of a serpent with huge fangs; it was bright and red like a flaming fire. This was a symbol of the brilliance of the lightning and rays cast from the heavens when he sent tempests and thunderbolts; to express the same he was totally clad in red."(62) It is notable, too, that the Yucatec rain god equivalent of Tlaloc was Chac (or Chaac, phonetically chaak), whose name is nearly homophonous with the Yucatec term for "red" (chak). A similar near homophony links the ...

Rose, and Jan Sammer and published posthumously, but to date The Assyrian Conquest, The Dark Ages of Greece, Saturn and the Flood, Jupiter of the Thunderbolts, The Orbit, Ten Trials, The Test of Time, Ash, Letters to a Heretic, Science and Conscience, The Sins of the Sons, The Day Breaks (his correspondence with Einstein), Three Fires (biographical accounts of Shlomo Molcho, Giordano Bruno, and Michael Servetus), Days and Years (the first part ...
344. The Orion Mystery by Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Anatolia. Amon of Thebes was a meteorite and meteorites were regarded as the bones of Osiris (or variously Set and Horus). The legend of the Phoenix supposes that a large meteorite fell somewhere in or near Egypt and appeared as a firebird with a long pluming tail that disappeared and left behind a black cosmic egg. Letopolis was the thunderbolt city and had a meteorite cult, and it is significant that the dead pharaoh, as part of the mummification rituals, had his mouth cut in a funerary ceremony involving a meteoric iron adze, fashioned in the sky shape of Ursa Minor = the Opener of Mouths. Perplexing is one way of describing these rites, and no wonder ...
345. Thoth Vol I, No. 1: January 25, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... gas where a series of light and dark bands are formed transverse to the discharge axis. This might give rise to a kind of "stairway to heaven" or ziggurat appearance. Then there is the self-contained plasmoid, a corkscrew within an overall football shape which forms the interplanetary equivalent of lightning and appears to have been depicted as Zeus' thunderbolt.- I have looked in some detail at chondritic meteorites which I expect to be left-overs from a planetary discharge event. They show all the characteristics to be expected of material that has been subjected to flash heating, acceleration, collision and ion implantation in a spatially restricted compressed gas stream together with isotopic modification by enhanced radiation, followed ...
346. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... - by the involvement of Bob Grubaugh, Fred Jueneman, Wallace Thornhill, Don Scott, Anthony Peratt, and others in the movement, all of whom have contributed to the understanding that there is a physical possibility and even likelihood for the former existence of the configuration. In its most recent formulation, which will be presented in the forthcoming Thunderbolts of the Gods, co-authored by David Talbott and Wallace Thornhill, the model works with the idea that electromagnetical forces play a far greater part in the physics of the cosmos than was previously assumed, and that plasma phenomena were prominent in the polar configuration as well, accounting for many of the puzzling symbols of an alien sky' gathered ...

348. Venus' Atmosphere [Journals] [Pensee]
... course of great discharges, as narrated in ancient sources (Old Testament and Homer among them), resulted from smashing two oxygen atoms into one atom of sulfur. I assumed that on Jupiter and on Venus, sulfur must be present; on Jupiter because it acquired much of the water of Saturn, after Saturn exploded, and in great thunderbolts converted the oxygen of the water into sulfur; and on Venus because it brought sulfur from its parental body, Jupiter, and also because in violent discharges it would fuse oxygen snatched from Earth's atmosphere or hydrosphere into sulfur. In July, 1955, I wrote to Professor Walter S. Adams, by then retired from the directorship of ...

... , the moat forming blasts will not come statically from the centre of a large crater, but dynamically, with a rotary movement about the centre. Therefore I would expect some evidence of layered, non-radial ejecta just outside the crater rim, burying the rays which a few seconds earlier had pin-pointed the target for the return stroke of the interplanetary thunderbolt. Such a dark ring of ejecta around Tycho is easily visible from Earth, but may require an on-site inspection to detect the effect. However, while I wait for that, there is highly visible evidence for rotary arcing on crater floors in the form of arcuate rilles, running parallel with the crater floor-wall contact. By the way ...
350. Ice Cores and Common Sense Part 1 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... or another. Critiques of the Worlds in Collision scenario began appearing even before its publication in book form. This may have something to do with the fact that Velikovsky never finished the books describing these earlier catastrophes, because they make Worlds in Collision look pretty tame by comparison. Some day his executors may release the manuscripts of Jupiter of the Thunderbolt and Saturn and the Flood. In the meantime, some articles in Kronos provide a few details. Ice cores also have implications for claims of these earlier catastrophes, which I will review here. Chief among catastrophes was the biblical Deluge, which Velikovsky ascribed to an explosion of the planet Saturn that he called a "nova." ...
