... Was Hatshepsut the Queen of Sheba?Dr. John Bimson Trinity College, Bristol: Peter James welcomes members who have come in spite of the tube strike, introduces John Bimson, author of "Redating the Exodus and Conquest" and author of many articles in SIS REVIEW. His attitude to Velikovsky could be described as that of a sympathetic critic. Dr John Bimson: "The title I have been given is, WAS Hatshepsut the Queen of Sheba? '. Now anyone who isn't familiar with Velikovsky's revision will be surprised by the title because to them the question won' t arise. Hatshepsut is conventionally placed in Egyptian history in the early 15th century BC, that ...
202. Cosmic Heretics [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon II:6 (1991) Home | Issue Contents Cosmic Heretics Alfred de Grazia The following is excerpted from A. de Grazia's Cosmic Heretics (Princeton, 1984) with permission of the author. Royal Incest Alfred de Grazia was entering his forty-fourth year when he met a self-styled cosmic heretic, Immanuel Velikovsky, who was already sixty-seven, and for the next twenty years a wide band of life's spectrum was colored by their relationship. As with a love affair, all that happened in the beginning presaged what would happen later, stretched out on the scale of time, themes doubling back upon themselves, attractions and reservations never to be erased, continuing accumulations. ...
203. Focus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 3 No 1 (Jul 1980) Home | Issue Contents Focus VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR?New Scientist . 10/5 /80, p. 102-3 It seems that when the Letters Editor of New Scientist slipped in Jill Abery's letter (see Workshop.vol .2 no.4 . p.6 ) he did so without prior consultation with John Gribbin. And Mr. Gribbin is not pleased, to judge by the 1 ½ columns of "refutation" he fills in the Forum section. He will admit that Velikovsky did precede the others - very generous of him - but explains : - "The difference is that, in scientific terms, ...

No equation, however impressive and complex, can arrive at the truth if the initial assumptions are incorrect. It is really quite amazing by what margins competent, but conservative scientists and engineers can miss the mark, when they start with the preconceived idea that what they are investigating is impossible. When this happens, the most well-informed men become blinded by their prejudices and are ...

In 1960 Velikovsky published Oedipus and Akhnaton which was based on research that was done when he first came to the United States in 1939. This work had been set aside when the clues that eventually led to the publication of Ages in Chaos and Worlds in Collision were discovered. In Oedipus and Akhnaton, Velikovsky identified the legendary character, Oedipus, as the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhnaton and suggested that the so ...
... From "Beyond Velikovsky" © 1984 by Henry H. Baue | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Preface Preface My ambition in this book is not to settle the Velikovsky controversy but to provide food for thought and a basis for understanding this and similar arguments. Controversies of like sort abound: public controversies about scientific matters. Some such arguments split the scientific community, and the public is asked to choose between two groups of experts of opposite view, each group claiming to have the authority of science on its side: regarding the safety of nuclear power plants, the feasibility of antimissile missiles, the dangers of accumulating carbon dioxide in the atmosphere- the listing could continue at great ...
207. Interdisciplinary Indiscipline [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Dick Atkinson Dick Atkinson graduated from Newcastle University with a B.A . in Philosophy (1968) and is now Head of English at Harton Comprehensive School, South Shields. He has a special interest in ancient science and civilisation and describes himself as an avid collector of books, especially on astronomy and history. Introduction I first encountered the Velikovsky Affair' in Alfred de Grazia's book of that title. Much later, around 1972, I read Worlds in Collision [1 ]. In a general way Velikovsky's research was impressive: it was clearly true that ancient authors believed there had been great astronomical catastrophes, and often gave fascinatingly interlocking accounts. Nevertheless, Velikovsky's detailed conclusions - ...

... , tree rings, and ice cores, and how they impact Veiikovsky's scenario for recent Earth history. This survey continues with discussions of ice ages, sea level, tippe top Earth, gravity vs. magnetism, and electric stars. ICE AGES: The previous section on the Greenland ice cores naturally suggests the subject of ice ages, which Velikovsky tied into his theory of cosmic catastrophism in Earth in Upheaval, Chapters VIII, IX, and X. At the time, no theory for ice ages answered all the questions posed by their occurrence. Since no theory was generally accepted, Velikovsky, like everyone else, was justified in concluding that "the concept of ice ages, ...

... scientists" are characterized by their ability to perform competent laboratory measurements, fine mathematical deductions, meaningful research; and they have the ability to appreciate ideas. A "real scientist" tries to understand. One may select a dependable political associate by what and whom he hates, but this will not do in selecting a dependable scientist. Immanuel Velikovsky never lost the sunny assumption that he was dealing with reasonable people, a peculiar optimism for one as accomplished as he was in psychiatry. So he entered debates and wrote books with the expectation of a fair hearing, evidently unaware of the existence of self-styled "educators" who, like TV talk-show hosts, seem to enjoy defaming anyone ...
210. "Velikovsky's Challenge to Science" [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 2: (Spring 1974) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VII" Home | Issue Contents "Velikovsky's Challenge to Science"The following account of the AAAS symposium, "Velikovsky's Challenge to Science," was compiled by the staff of Pensee. Together with the texts of the papers by Irving Michelson and Velikovsky, it represents the most extensive coverage of the event in print. In one sense we begrudge the space allotted to this story. There is much research going forward which merits immediate publication, but which has been temporarily squeezed out of our pages by this narrative of events falling primarily under the heading, "The Velikovsky Affair. " ...
