41. Shamir [Journals] [SIS Review]
... might add that Yahweh was a Jewish form of Arthur but what exactly was Apollo .. .. . besides a handsome fellow? Michael Theodorakis [5 ] identified him with the wolf god. He notes that Apollo was regarded as a far shooter and a far dart thrower. He despatched missiles from afar (somewhat like Zeus and his thunderbolts) and was a god synonymous with archery. He had similarities in common with Robin Hood (a god with a veil and an aspect of Woden) which begs the question - what came first? The bow and arrows (of human innovation) or the missile slinging gods? In The Iliad Apollo is described as he who strikes ...

42. The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 4 (Summer 1981) Home | Issue Contents The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah Immanuel Velikovsky Copyright (C ) 1981 by the Estate of Immanuel Velikovsky Editor's Note: This article is only part of a much larger work by Velikovsky titled Jupiter of the Thunderbolt. Its conception goes back to the 1940's when much of the material was first written. The present article has benefited from the editorial assistance of Jan Sammer who, unless otherwise indicated, added the bracketed referential material and fine-tuned the text.- LMG THE AGE OF THE DEAD SEA "With the end of the Tertiary period, in an event of extreme violence . . . ...

43. Thoth Vol V, No 1: Jan 15, 2001 [Journals] [Thoth]
... nuclear explanation cannot account for the "fighting sky chariots," or the imagery of lightning bolts. (As we know too well, nukes are more like "balls of fire.") I asked about electrical causes of residual nuclear radiation, and I like your answer: .. .like particle accelerators in labs, a planetary thunderbolt would also be capable of initiating both fusion and fission reactions that could produce radioactive isotopes. Stupendous discharges could involve temperatures great enough for fusion (around 10^8 - 10^9 K), and if enough unstable isotopes were created, some radiation might remain after thousands of years. One could estimate the magnitude of the discharge ...

... they disguised themselves as animals- all, it seems, except the goddess Athena who "alone stood her ground, and taunted Zeus with cowardice." [35] Typhon. (Photograph by Dwardu Cardona- courtesy of the Acropolis Museum, Athens.) Discarding his bestial disguise, Zeus resumed his true form and, engaging Typhon with thunderbolt and sickle, he soon wounded him. Raging like a maddened bull, Typhon fled to Mount Casius, "which looms over Syria in the north," where Zeus caught up with him and engaged him anew. This second bout went against Zeus when Typhon disarmed and cruelly maimed him. [36] "The news of Zeus ...

... the north-west, were the recognised masters of the art of augury, and claimed that the birth of their art was at Tarquinia, where a boy, Tages, sprang up out of a ploughed field. Although a child, he had the wisdom of an old man [1 ]. The fulguriator at Rome specialised in the study of thunderbolts. There are frequent references to lightning and earthquakes in classical literature. Cicero, 1st century B.C ., in his work on divination, writes that earthquakes have often given warning of disaster, and that the Etruscans have interpreted them [2 ]. Some of Rome's most important institutions were Etruscan in origin. The general opinion ...

46. Zeus And Athene, Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Was it the planet Jupiter or Venus that caused the catastrophe of the time of Exodus? Some ancient mythological sources point to Venus, other sources point to Jupiter. In one group of legends Jupiter (Zeus) is the protagonist of the drama: he leaves his place in the sky, rushes to battle Typhon, and strikes him with thunderbolts. But other legends and historical sources, too, which I have quoted on previous pages, indicate that it was the planet Venus, or Pallas Athene of the Greeks. Athene killed her father, Typhon-Pallas, the celestial monster, and the description of this battle is not different from that of the battle in which Zeus killed Typhon ...

47. The Celestial Tower [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... frustrated when God confuses their speech. In the traditon of the Greeks, the tower-building story is connected with a devastating upheaval of nature which saw the Olympians pitted against the Titans, who endeavour to reach the domain of the gods by piling mountains on top of each other. The resulting tower however is smashed when Zeus strikes it with a thunderbolt. In the Norse myth, the giants attempt to reach Asgard by piling up a huge mound of clay, in the shape of a man. This tower is destroyed by Thor, the god of thunder, who strikes it with his hammer. That this is a universal tradition is apparent from mythologies on every continent. As an ...

48. The Ring About The Earth at 2300 BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... About The Earth at 2300 BC Moe Mandelkehr Summary As postulated in earlier papers, dust in the Earth's North Polar region at 2300 BC initiated widespread geophysical changes. The dust was a result of the Earth encountering a massive meteoroid stream, the Taurids. The event was sufficiently traumatic that religions were formed in essentially all cultures on the Earth. Thunderbolts were a prominent theme of the religions, but a new theme appeared - a ring surrounding the Earth. A possible mechanism for the ring formation was capture of small particles in the Earth's upper atmosphere coupled with later particle fragmentation. Moe Mandelkehr was born and grew up in Kansas City, and currently lives in New Jersey, USA. ...

... It stretches a third of the way around the planet. But what in heaven can spiral galaxies have to do with the geology of Mars? In October 2001, I wrote "In light of more than a century's research in the field of plasma cosmology and the 20th century discoveries of the space age, we can confidently propose the celestial thunderbolt as a common cause of the formation of canyons and rilles on rocky planets and moons." At that time I had not come to any conclusion about the details of the electrical event that created the colossal Valles Marineris canyons on Mars. Like geologists, I use a process of pattern matching when attempting to understand the processes that may ...

... 17] who arrived at a time-scale for Venus to spiral into its present circular orbit from the vicinity of Jupiter or Saturn in the order of 100 years. When planets and moons are close enough, a more violent form of charge exchange may occur. It is then that the apocalyptic weapon of the planetary gods is unleashed - the interplanetary thunderbolt. If such events have truly occurred we should find evidence in the surface scars of planets and moons. What do we actually find? The planets provide an embarrassment of riches. Electrical scarring is ubiquitous in the solar system, from tiny meteorites to asteroids, moons and all planets with a solid surface. It becomes evident why the ...
