... longer need to rely on their memories as the ancients did. Moreover, the accounts as they did come down by the time of Ovid preserve a remarkably naturalistic quality in terms of what conceivably would have happened under circumstances of great catastrophe, as has already been pointed out. This would appear to speak well for the faithfulness of the oral traditions of ancient times. Velikovsky maintains that the Trojan War which forms the basis for Homer's Iliad takes place against the backdrop of heavenly spectacle of Mars (Ares) and Venus (Pallas Athene) appearing to take sides in the battle below, the former with the Trojans, the latter with the Greeks. As the two heavenly bodies appeared ...
342. Quantalism And Prehistory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... this for a later and longer work now in progress. NEO-FREUDIANISM AND META-FREUDIANISM My use of the term Velikovskian, however, does not mean that I intend merely to summarize Velikovsky's views, published and unpublished, up to the time of his death. What I intend, rather, is to draw an analogy between the development of the Velikovskian tradition and that of the Freudian tradition. In the latter case, I see a growing split between the so-called Neo-Freudians (such as Erich Fromm and Karen Horney) and the so-called Meta-Freudians (such as Wilhelm Reich and Herbert Marcuse). Despite the innovative implication of the prefix "neo-," the Neo-Freudians have, in fact, ...

(on p.207 he votes for Centaurus as guardian of the netherworld instead of Sagittarius).], who presents the whole tradition on the constellations "Hades," "Acherusian lake," "ferryman," with many more details than are needed now, as they have survived in astrological tradition. These topoi are found together around the southern crossroads of Galaxy and ecliptic, between Scorpius and Sagittarius. Boll points out that, instead of the Scorpion people [ ...
344. Historical Forum [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Kerkhof's article in WORKSHOP 4, p 2, titled Chronological Questions and Question-Marks' which also attempted to demonstrate that the Revisionist's list of hard evidence' against Velikovsky might not be so hard' after all. My criticism of Peter James' article is printed below and is followed by Geoffrey Gammon's reply. 1. Having drawn attention to the traditional agreement for reign-lengths between the information of the Greek, Biblical and Assyrian sources, James writes: "This should be compared with the identifications proposed by Velikovsky, where NONE of the reign-lengths given agree." However, under the heading Velikovsky's proposals', James has Seti the Great as reigning 11 years, whereas Velikovsky, on p ...
345. The Parting of the Waters of the Red Sea [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... days of Exodus"[1 ]. The question is of some importance, because when we design a theoretical model we want to know how deep the water was. There is a hot well at the east shore of the Gulf of Suez called Haman Faraoun, situated some 100km south of the city of Suez. According to the local tradition this was the place where the Egyptian chariots pursued the children of Israel, "and Pharaoh's wrath and fear heated the waters"[2 ]. The depth of the water at this part of the Gulf of Suez is about 50 metres today. Velikovsky may have been right. Maybe the water depth was only 5 metres in the ...
346. Devi And Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... 9 , p. 55; note, however, that on p. 98 of the same work it is said that her vehicle is a corpse or an owl, not and an owl.) Suggestive as the emergence of an owl might be of certain equivalents of the Devi and Athene, it would be still more convincing if Hindu tradition provided some direct hints of the postulated identity of Venus and the Devi. It does. SIXTEEN One of the synonyms for the planet Venus in Sanskrit is the word shodashanarchis", meaning "having sixteen rays" (Also: "shodashananshu", with the same meaning). No other heavenly body is known as "sixteen-rayed" ...
347. The Ship of Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... above in a "flying canoe," much like the great shaman of the Yenisei Ostiaks, who "rows his boat in heaven." (13) So also did the legendary Hiawatha navigate "a white canoe which moved without human aid." (14) In ancient Egypt the ship is an extremely popular theme in all local traditions. It was the hope of every pious Egyptian, on their death, to be crowned like the sun god, to enter the celestial city and to alight "upon the forehead of Ra in the bows of his boat which is in heaven," (15) or to "see the Sektet boat of the sacred Sahu passing ...
348. The Cataclusm (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... ). The chief disputants were Athena with her brother Hephaestus, and Poseidon`natural enemies', as one can gather from the terrestrial forces whose personifications they are Poseidon received for his portion the Island of Atlantis unconditionally (113c). Over the territory which is called `Athens' in our myth, there was, according to Greek traditional lore, a prolonged wrangle, but finally Athena and Hephaestus received it for their joint portion (I 09c) . The consequences of that sharing out of the Earth were dire. While the spoils of battle won by the Athenians were being piled into a great trophy, there came (to borrow Euripides's line) `from the earth's ...
349. The Day the Sun Stood still [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... at the mere thought of such a cataclysm (3 .16), as well he might! (The vivid imagery in this passage will be examined later, when we take up the question of what caused this catastrophe.) The Israelites were not the only people who recorded these singular events. The Greeks also kept alive their own tradition of "the day the Sun stood still" until it could be written down. It was the epic poet Homer (or one of his successors) who immortalized these remote memories for posterity: I begin to sing of Pallas Minerva, the glorious gleaming-eyed goddess, ever-ready, having a relentless heart, venerable virgin protecting the city, ...
350. Atlantis - The Lost Continent Finally Found [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... great authorities have failed before? A: First, it is solidly based on scientific results from both the exact and the human sciences including geology, astronomy, paleontology, archaeology, linguistics, ethnology, comparative mythology, comparative religion, philosophy and so on. Second, we had the luck to find the Key to the ancient myths and traditions, so that the difficult alchemical allegories and the mythical enigmas which mainly have to do with Atlantean secrets became crystal clear to us. The problem of Atlantis requires both supports, that of Occult tradition and that of "Official" Science. Q4: You claim Atlantis is located under the South China Sea. Is it not true that ...
