... applied to an object such as a bowl of wine. In his Timaeus, Plato associates the head with the divine fire. Among the most important officials in Athens was the prytanis. Tanuo means I stretch out'. His title is similar to that of the Etruscan tanasar. The poet Pindar refers to Zeus as prytanis of lightnings and thunderbolts. The title means he who holds out the fire', i.e . the hurler of lightning. The prytanis was one of fifty committee members of the boule, council. It is probable that his duties included tending the sacred fire of Hestia, the goddess of the hearth of the city. Q-CD vol. 13, ...

This paradigm therefore reflects the following events: Earthquake activity and the delay in temple construction.14 The cycle dating of 972 B.C .; Thiele says David died in 971. The October 25 timing- apparently in the autumn. The anniversary theme, "even to the time appointed." The cosmic thunderbolt striking Ornan's threshing floor, located on what became the temple mount. (Heights tend to attract lightning.) The casualty list, here 3 to 4 percent of a nation of 6 million. This suggests the holocaust was regional, not locally specific.

... in Collision, "Epilogue"). Interplanetary discharges took place when Mars and Earth came into close contact (Worlds in Collision, "Synodus"). The projected volumes dealing with catastrophes preceding those that took place at the end of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt carry the titles "Saturn and the Flood" and "Jupiter of the Thunderbolt". The planet-god Jupiter (Zeus, Ormuzd, Shiva, Marduk) was pictured with a thunderbolt because of the spectacles witnessed by the inhabitants of the Earth - like a discharge that was directed toward Venus when it approached its parental body (Worlds in Collision, "The Blazing Star"), or when the Earth itself might ...

... angular momentum in action. A braking-and-restarting mechanism involving overcharging and discharging a planet would appear viable, at least in a qualitative way, regardless of that planet's initial charge or lack of charge. Such a process might be considered, too, in connection with the establishment of such rotational locks as that of Venus with respect to the earth. Thunderbolts and Orbital Decay 3) Sagan admits that "while the odds are large [against Venus' orbit being rounded from high eccentricity to near-circularity in a few thousand years] , they are not absolutely overwhelming against Velikovsky's hypothesis on this score." Still, the concept "is at odds with what we know about the three-body problem in ...

35. The Electric Universe CD by Wallace Thornhill [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... on a spectacular cometary display." Thornhill accepted the challenge of integrating the cultural record of mythology and the experiments of the plasma lab and the advances of the space age into a coherent picture. He summarizes this synthesis admirably in a single picture which appears on page 146 of the CD. The photo shows an ancient statue of Zeus, thunderbolt poised in his up-raised hand. But the object called "thunderbolt" isn't the zigzag symbol a child might draw to symbolize lightning. Instead, it's a bundle of corkscrew filaments within a football-shaped envelope, a shape recognizable today as a plasmoid. How could this be, unless the thunderbolts of Zeus actually were interplanetary discharges? Thornhill challenges ...

Q-CD vol 12: KA, Ch. 14: Bolts from The Blue 180 CHAPTER FOURTEEN BOLTS FROM THE BLUE THIS chapter is devoted to examples of meteors and thunderbolts, and intervention by deities. It also deals with the question of the Greek prutanis, and the Etruscan lightning-averter. In the archery contest at the funeral games for Anchises, the arrow shot by Acestes caught fire and marked its path with flames until it was burnt up and disappeared. It was like those stars which often come loose ...

... south and Letopolis in the north. Herodotus did not travel to the south of Egypt; thus, he must have seen the statue in Letopolis. Even today many bronze mice, sometimes inscribed with the prayers of pilgrims, are found in the ground of Letopolis. Both cities with the cult of the sacred mouse were "sacred cities of thunderbolt and meteorites."4 The Egyptian name for Letopolis is indicated by the same hieroglyphic as "thunderbolt." In a text dating from the New Kingdom and originating in Letopolis, it is said that a festival was established in this city in memory of "the night of fire for the adversaries." This fire was like " ...

To the sky of Egypt Zeus pursued Typhon "rushing at heaven." "Zeus pelted Typhon at a distance with thunderbolts, and at close quarters struck him down with an adamantine sickle, and as he fled pursued him closely as far as Mount Casius, which overhangs Syria.
