172. A Short Biography of Immanuel Velikvosky [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Newsletter 1 (April 1975) Home | Issue Contents A Short Biography of Immanuel Velikvosky Reprinted from Yale Scientific Magazine . Immanuel Velikovsky was born June 10, 1895 in Vitebsk, Russia, the youngest of three sons. His father, Simon was a businessman and a Hebrew scholar. His mother Beila, born Grodensky, spoke several languages and introduced her son to them at an early age. After the family had moved to Moscow, Immanuel enrolled at the Medvednikov Gymnasium where he distinguished himself in Russian and mathematics, and graduated with a gold medal. Because he was a Jew, Velikovsky was unable to attend a Russian University; and he went to Montpelier ...
173. Velikovsky in Shakespeare [Articles]
... Velikovsky in Shakespeare Irving Wolfe In this paper, I shall apply the gist of Dr. Velikovsky's theories, particularly these concerning the events in the skies from 780 to 640 B.C ., to a play by William Shakespeare. I will try to demonstrate that Antony and Cleopatra appears to contain a significant number of Velikovskian overtones, images and allusions, too significant in frequency and usage to be the result of chance or convention. They are a distinctive element in the artistic whole. Then, on the basis of this evidence, I will offer my own theory about the nature of enduring narrative art, about what makes a great artist create and how he does it ...

From: SIS Review Vol 1 No 2 (Spring 1976) Home | Issue Contents Bookshelf Brian Moore Sages in Chaos THE BRITISH SIDE OF THE "VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR" Now as concerning every charm and all the words which may be spoken against me, may the gods resist them.

In 1964, fourteen years after the publication of "Worlds in Collision", Professor Jacques Barzun wrote: "A cultural fact of the present moment is the case of Dr Velikovsky.

178. Child of Saturn (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... birth from Zeus with "Vishnu born of Shiva"(1 ) through which it is implied that, even in India, the Venerian planet was believed to have been "born" from the Jovian one. This, of course, necessitates the identification of Shiva as Jupiter and of Vishnu as Venus, both of which were proposed by Velikovsky.(2 ) Let me say, at once, that at no time did the ancients ever identify these two deities as either of the two planets with which we are concerned.(3 ) True, this, in itself, does not prove Velikovsky wrong. After all, the Greeks never identified Athene as Venus either. ...

... Home | Issue Contents The Road To Saturn (Excerpts from an Autobiographical Essay)Dwardu Cardona I I have read less than a handful of books that can be said to have influenced my way of thinking. Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision has not only been one of them, in the end it totally changed my life. In this work Velikovsky proposed that, in the distant past, but still within man's memory, the planet Jupiter ejected from itself a smaller but sizeable body that careened across the solar system in the form of a giant comet. Coming into close contact with Earth, but avoiding an actual collision, this cometary body caused a series of catastrophic events which mankind ...
