... , in achieving approximately circular orbits. The Moon may also be a captured body- no really satisfactory theory has been found for the existence of a satellite to the Earth, the difficulty with the capture theory being the circularization problem. The extra difficulty which meets the catastrophist is that the time scale is so short. Some of the oldest traditions refer to a time when there was no Moon.(3 ) This indicates that the Moon was captured comparatively recently. Furthermore, Velikovsky has suggested that the Earth was once a satellite of Saturn. This seems to be the only way to explain certain parts of the oldest myths, but it leaves us with another circularization problem: ...
372. Astronomy and Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... branded as a "careless and uncritical compilation" which monumental evidence has shown to be wrong in the vast majority of cases, it serves as the framework of the history of Egypt. The division into dynasties, as given by Manetho, has remained in use to this day. His work is regarded as presenting the continuity of the historical traditions of Egypt, while the sequence of events in the past of peoples lacking such continuous tradition remains speculative since there is no framework in which to order the archaeological data. "Absolute certainty in these matters is only possible where a continuous literary tradition has always existed. The modern study of European and American prehistoric archaeology, for instance, ...

375. A Rage to Deny: The Roots of the Velikovsky Affair [Books]
... actually self-given, but accepted by society as correct), which was to find the truth about the cosmos. Here we have the third cause, protection of turf, which derives directly from the second. Harvard astronomy felt without question that it and it alone had the correct tools, the correct methods, the correct knowledge accumulated in a tradition and the correctly accredited practitioners to perform its task. This was its correct territory, which it supremely deserved, not by bribe or gift or criminality, but merit. It alone had earned the right to poke about in the cosmos and to slowly but steadily unearth its secrets (as it knew it could) better than any rival ...

... reasonable statement regarding the origin of the solar system. Astronomers simply do not yet know the full answer to this question, although some progress is being made through the presentation from time to time of tentative hypotheses for consideration and criticism. You must have devoted an enormous amount of time and effort to your compilation of the mass of myths, traditions, inscriptions, and quotations you have assembled. I feel that you have done a real service to scholars and the public as well in bringing together in one place material which is difficult of access and requires research to find. On the other hand I cannot help feeling that you have overestimated the value of this material as evidence. ...
377. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... elapsed between some historical event and the present. To determine real chronology, one must be able to translate the data in the ancient documents into the terminology and units of modern time reckoning. Many historical conclusions and interpretations depend upon what dates we ascribe to the events in a given ancient document. This problem is very complicated. The accepted traditional chronology of ancient and medieval world rests on quite a shaky basis. For example, between different versions of the dating of such important event as the foundation of Rome, there exists a divergence 500 years long (T . Mommsen). Moreover: "falsification of numbers was here (regarding Valerias Antias) carried out down even to ...

... not claim that these catalogues of errors are complete. R. M. Porter, London SE5 The 94 year reign Dear Sir, I am pleased by Brad Aaronson's interest in the methodology used in my first two papers and by his acknowledging the relationship between 6th Dynasty Pepi II's rule of 94 years and that of a Pharaoh in the Jewish traditions (Aaronson's letter, Workshop 1989:2 ). Those papers introduced readers to various Hebrew and Greek chronological traditions that had hitherto been neglected by revisionists and orthodox historians alike, apparently on the grounds that they were, in the main, spurious. One of these traditions concerned the said 94 year rule. Until recently, I could ...
379. About 'Where Troy Once Stood' (Letter) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... that a site further South might be the real location. The author of the book does indeed show many similarities in names to the names of the Iliad. However, he does contrive a lot of connections which do not fit. For example he tries to show a connection between Colchester and Colchis. He does not at least mention the traditional explanation of Colchester to be the camp-chester of King Cole. I recommend the book to those who are intersted in the Homeric Epics and the linguistic sites in Western Europe, however, I am certainly [based on context probably means not convinced] convinced that he is right. While I do not completely throw out his thesis he certainly ...
380. The Autobiography Of Nebuchadnezzar. Ch. 5. (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... advice and gave "the small boy to the goddess in divine service." He grew up as a priest in the temple of Ishtar. Already the beginning of the autobiography casts light on four or five facts we know about Nebuchadnezzar. All through his life he had a feeble constitution and the appearance of a dwarf. In the talmudic tradition he is called Nebuchadnezzar the Dwarf {nanas).2 His childhood, spent in a temple, must have been responsible for Nebuchadnezzar's ecstatic religious character, which is clearly mirrored in his building inscriptions. All his life he called himself priest. Nebuchadnezzar, the novice in the temple of Ishtar, remained her worshipper as king. When ...
