... . He hurled rocks and raved through the world hissing and howling, liquid fire welling forth from his mouth. Typhon was the father of a terrible crew of monsters: the Hesperidean ( = Western) Dragon, Cerberus, the Hydra, the Chimaera, the Theban Sphinx, and others. Zeus alone dared attack the monster, armed with thunderbolts and a sickle. In the fearful struggle which ensued Typhon, though full of wounds, wrenched the deadly weapons out of the god's grasp and put him out of action for a while. But eventually Zeus recovered his arms and mounted a winged chariot, and the mortal combat began anew. Typhon hurled mountains at Zeus, but the ...

... volume than the bodies themselves, a collision between sheaths would actually be more likely to take place than a direct, bodily collision. When the moment arrived for the inevitable encounter, sheaths would make contact. Unleashed electric fields would clash. Almost instantly, forces immeasurably greater than gravitation would be brought to bear on the charged bodies. Cosmic thunderbolts would flash between the bodies in an effort to equalize their electric potentials [6 ]. In the present case, Mars, according to Velikovsky's reconstruction of the events of 776 B.C . or thereabouts, was caused to shift its orbit by the planet Venus, that had previously caused periods of cataclysm on Earth. The orbit ...

... proof might lie right here in our midst. Physicist Wallace Thornhill believes Valles Marineris, the 4,000 kilometre canyon on Mars, as well as our own Grand Canyon, were caused by an enormous electrical discharge. "Mars was called Scarface by the [Blackfoot] Indians of the Americas, after it had been struck by an interplanetary thunderbolt. Can it be their myths have something to tell us?" he asks. [53] What if Thornhill is right about the Grand Canyon, that it, like Mars' Valles Marineris, was also the result of a stupendous interplanetary thunderbolt? What else may have been thrown down upon the people of the Americas and by ...

... the ionosphere and more outward layers are known."(19) In our legends we find at least two references to the destruction of the Tower by lightning. From the Old World: "Giants attacked the very throne of Heaven, Piled Pelion on Ossa, mountain on mountain Up to the very stars. Jove struck them down With thunderbolts, and the bulk of those huge bodies Lay on the earth . . ." (20) And from the New World: "In Mexico, it is told of the great pyramid of Cholula that once upon a time certain giants aspired to build out of clay and bitumen a tower which would reach to heaven, so that ...

... object in the sky, peered out of the clouds - watching, and all seeing. The eye temples of 3rd millenium BC Tell Brak appear to reflect the same general theme, but in a novel manner, a sequence of eyes stretching into the distance (becoming smaller and smaller). The baleful single eye of Odin flashed - and thunderbolts came crashing down. The glance of one-eyed Irish Balor was capable of bringing destruction upon the human world. Bernard Newgrosh [1 ] mentions the Eye as a symbol of the great goddess, i.e . Hathor. The root of Balor comes from bhel, meaning to flash [2 ] and bhel-og = Bolgas or Gai Bolga ...

There is a story, which even you have preserved, that once upon a time Phaethon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father's chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt. Now this has the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving in the heavens around the earth, and a great conflagration of things upon the earth, which recurs after long intervals; at such time those who live upon the mountains and in dry and lofty places are more liable to destruction than ...

... " (63) Commenting on this passage, Griffith- the editor of the Rig Veda- notes that: "In this verse Indra is represented as a terrible God, and in the following verse as sometimes sending affliction'." (64) As is well-known, Indra's weapon of choice was the vajra, typically understood as a thunderbolt. Indra's heaven-hurled weapon, however, is elsewhere said to be composed of metal or stone. Here Gonda observes: "Although Indra's weapon is usually explicitly designated by the term vajra, and vajra is generally described as metallic (ayasa), it is incidentally spoken of as a rock (parvata) or stone of, or from ...

... eddies suggest it may be a solid body tumbling along in the Jovian clouds. Some believe it represents stains of a 300 year old storm, but space photographs indicate stains dissipate into long planet girdling lines in just a few days. In legend Jupiter overthrew Saturn to become king of the gods. Jupiter was also the primary god of the thunderbolt. There are numerous references in ancient literature to the lightning of Jupiter and its adverse affects on earth and on other planetary gods. Some of these descriptions are consistent with the unleashing of literal thunderbolts, as in the destruction of the tower of Babel and the later destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah In the Greek myth of the wars of ...

... sea it ground out stones. (76) There is an account in the Mahabharata of how Indra does battle with Vrtra, and here Indra is clearly acting in his capacity as a Jupiter deity (77). The cause of Indra's troubles was his killing of the son of a Prajapati, one Trisiras, by striking him with a thunderbolt. The effect on Trisiras is to make him "shine with energy"; Indra was "blinded and scorched by Trisiras's energy" (78). Indra got out of his predicament by having the "heads" of the dead Trisiras cut off; when this was done various "birds" in great numbers, came out of ...
