... end at the courthouse. Together they reissued Klausner's Sefatenu in Tel Aviv in 1927 and tried to organize an Institute of Jewish Study to revive the Scripta, but the Hebrew University refused to cooperate and would not agree to publish non-faculty materials. Immanuel also organized a sort of festschrift for his father by arranging for Dubnov and other old comrades to write letters and articles for publication in local periodicals; he organized his father's papers and memoirs for publication, and did likewise for the two Hebrew plays, The Jew of Munich and Rabbi Akiba, that Simon wrote shortly before he died. (30) And, in August 1924, ten months after his arrival in Palestine, Immanuel began ...
282. Stargazers and Gravediggers by Immanuel Velikovsky [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... astronomical, and geological enigmas, while also challenging more than a few hallowed scientific dogmas. The academic community was immediately and intensely polarized. Several world-famous "authorities" denounced the book as "rubbish" (without having read it carefully), while other scientists and scholars praised Velikovsky's method and revolutionary conclusions. Through a concerted campaign of letter writing, a successful boycott of the original publisher's textbook department was undertaken by an elite group of American astronomers. Even as Worlds in Collision hovered at the top of the national best-seller lists, the publisher was forced to suspend publication of the book, and another firm, which had no vulnerable textbook division, took it on. Thus one ...
283. Chaos and Creation [Books] [de Grazia books]
... whole during Kassite times."[27] This would probably be the middle of the second millennium B.C . He alludes to a long "dark age" of vastly reduced population and to hundreds of abandoned settlements, newly located. Figure 33. Town Sites Repeatedly Destroyed During Bronze Age. Kondratov reporting upon Soviet archaeological studies, writes : "In the middle of the second millennium B.C . the ancient cities of Southern Turkmenia declined and were abandoned by the inhabitants. The South Turkmenia civilization perished at about the same time as the proto-Indian, and the reasons are still unknown." [28] China did not escape. "We discover between the chronology ...
284. Part III: The Legends [Ragnarok] [Books]
... , Spain, Italy, Greece; in Africa, in Palestine, in India, and in the United States.2 "Man was living in the valley of the lower Thames before the Arctic mammalia, had taken full possession of the valley of the Thames, and before the big-nosed rhinoceros had become extinct." Mr. Tidderman 3 writes that, among a number of bones obtained during the exploration of the Victoria Cave, near Settle, Yorkshire, there is one which Mr. Busk has identified as human. Mr. Busk says : "The bone is, I have no doubt, human; a portion of an unusually clumsy fibula, and in that respect not ...
285. Aftermath to Exposure [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . To place these events in their proper setting, it is necessary to backtrack a bit. In August 1963 - the month before the appearance of the Behavioral Scientist's Velikovsky issue-Harper's Magazine printed Scientists in Collision, ' an article by Eric Larrabee, whose 1950 article in the same magazine marked the beginning of the controversy. Now, writing 13 years later, Larrabee chose to point up the case for Velikovsky by citing recent discoveries in astronomy, space science, geology, and geophysics that bring support to the thesis of Worlds in Collision. Like the authors of the articles in the Behavioral Scientist, Larrabee called attention to a letter in Science (December 21, 1962) ...
... after they had served Nebuchadnezzar and his posterity, and after they had undergone that servitude seventy years, he would restore them again to the land of their fathers, and they should build their temple, and enjoy their ancient prosperity. And these things God did afford them; for he stirred up the mind of Cyrus, and made him write this throughout all Asia: "Thus saith Cyrus the king: Since God Almighty hath appointed me to be king of the habitable earth, I believe that he is that God which the nation of the Israelites worship; for indeed he foretold my name by the prophets, and that I should build him a house at Jerusalem, in ...
287. Velikovsky and his Critics by Shane Mage [Books]
... of S c.V and organizer of the AAAS panel, and a foreword by the novelist and authority on heresiology Isaac Asimov. From the proclaimed standpoint of "scientific orthodoxy" Asimov begins by raising the question "What does one do with a heretic?" with specific reference to Velikovsky; goes on, with unimpeachable orthodoxy, to write that Velikovsky's proposed physical explanation for catastrophic events recorded in the Bible is a "far less satisfactory hypothesis" than is "the hypothesis that divine intervention caused the miracles": and concludes that "Velikovskians" are totally impervious to any amount of "mere logic." (S c. V, pp. 8-15) He does ...
288. The Enclosed Sun-Cross [Books]
... four quarters of the universe." (30) Muller finds the same concept of the quartered kingdom in Ceylon, Burma, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Each sacred habitation appears as "the celestial city of the king" and each ruler as the wheel-king. "State and nation represent a quartered universe [Cosmos]," writes Muller. Every image of the sacred "settlement" reflects the image of the "world"- the circle and cross. (31) In China, the emperor stands symbolically at the pole, while ranged around him are the powers of the cardinal points. (32) The cosmic centre is ch'ien, from which, to ...
289. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... genealogical inscriptions (particularly those of El-Kab); scarab styles linking 12th and 15th Dynasties; and archaeological evidence from Byblos and Ugarit also linking 12th and 15th Dynasties. He also makes much of similar name groups and uses this principle to outline several dynasties' of sub rulers existing alongside the late 12th Dynasty and subject to it but entitled to write their names in royal cartouches. He argues various reasons why the Turin Papyrus, Manetho, and the Memphite Genealogy are unreliable. He is also forced to reject to some extent Sothic Dating after having previously written a book proving' it to be true (Chronologie egyptienne [Paris, 1926, 1928]). He refers frequently to ...
290. On Morrison: Some Final Remarks (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... that planets take a long time to form and evolve from their primitive state to what we observe now, it is absurd therefore to propose that Venus could be born of Jupiter several millennia ago and then evolve into a planet whose surface layers differ markedly from what we, astronomers, believe the structure of Jupiter must be. In his various writings, Velikovsky has emphasized the ubiquity of electrical effects in processes occurring in the Solar System. He has stated unequivocally that electrical interactions are the key to the system-wide disruptions described in Worlds in Collision. Pertinaciously, Morrison and the others ignore, or discount, electrical effects in all of their calculations because astronomers dogmatically deny the relevance of electromagnetic ...
