... . Windsor for taking the time from his present busy schedule to submit a criticism of Electro-Gravitic theory. He claims that my "theory would be more persuasive were (certain) discrepancies in logic not present." However, in criticising my hypothesis for the explanation of the generation of electro-magnetic fields in celestial bodies, he is misinformed. He writes, for example: "If planet spin rate and orbit relative to the Sun cause an electromagnetic field..." He raises the same issue in points (b ) and (c ). The statements suggests that I claim that electromagnetic generation within planets and other celestial bodies is caused by rotation, size of orbit, or ...
312. Enheduanna and the Goddess Inanna [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review (1994) "Proceedings of the 1993 Cambridge Conference" Home | Issue Contents Enheduanna and the Goddess Inanna Bernard Newgrosh Introduction The latter end of the 3rd millennium BC saw the production of some extraordinary literature. The invention of writing had taken place maybe several hundred years earlier but already the Sumerian and Egyptian languages were replete with metaphor, a rapid evolution which testifies to the powers of observation of our ancestors and to the richness of their experience. However, much of the literature of the time (certainly that portion thought of as myth') is so unusual in content and so different from modern understanding that scholars are wont to regard ...
313. The Celestial Whirlpool Lake [Books]
... The constellation of the "Great Bear" (Ura Major), known widely in America as "The Dipper", has a significant connexion with the seasons. In China it is called the "Bushel" and its "tail" is the "Pointer". The "tail" was so named, as we gather from Chinese writings, because when it first appears of an evening, it points to the east in spring, to the south in summer, to the west in autumn and to the north in winter. In the Shu King (Part II, Book 1) the "Bushel" is referred to as "the pearl-adorned turning sphere with its transverse ...
314. Untitled [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... he strongly objected" (Velikovsky 1982:19). Soon after the Vienna Society meeting, Velikovsky returned home to Palestine, and became the mandate's first practicing psychoanalyst. But very early in his career- whether due to Stekel's influence or to the great distance between Haifa and Vienna, or to the persistent iconoclastic spirit he displayed throughout his writings- Velikovsky began to exhibit some intellectual independence from Freudian orthodoxy. Velikovsky's approach to melancholia, for example, revealed his awareness of the disarray among Freudians on this subject, particularly as to how it related to narcissism. The concept of narcissism had been Freud's first serious examination of ego mechanisms and had been fully formulated long before his dual-drive ...
315. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... southwest Egypt disappeared. Later, climate effects continued to affect cultures. A 300 year drought in northern Mesopotamia caused the abandonment of the area and the flight of refugees southward, where irrigation from rivers allowed the continued growth of crops. This happened 4,200 years ago, a date readers of SIS publications will be familiar with through the writings of Moe Mandelkehr. A bit closer in time, a Viking colony flourished on Greenland in 1000-1500 AD but then disappeared. The evidence indicates that the climate turned colder and the agricultural settlements, unable to adapt to a new way of life when their crops failed, died of starvation and disease. Inuits, with a life style adapted ...
316. A Conversation with Barry Fell [Journals] [Horus]
... could see no reasonable match with a measured solstice alignment. But at solstice Sunrise, it became clear that "notch" referred to a segment of the rock overhang itself which directed the light in a specific pattern across the inscription, confirming the excellence of Fell's translation. More importantly, it offered evidence for the presence of Celtic language, writing, astronomy and Christian culture in ancient North America long before the arrival of Columbus. Dr. Barry Fell and his Wife, Rene; San Diego, 1985 A similar example was photographed for a recent educational television documentary, "History on the Rocks", which highlights some of the archaeological evidence for pre-Columbian transoceanic visitors. In a ...
317. The Origin And Evolution Of Stars [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... However, all the evidence we have of white dwarfs in terms of their absolute magnitude (their brightness of a star seen at a particular distance from the Earth), their surface temperature, their spectral class, and their luminosity relative to the Sun, indicates they have greater mass than the red giants from which they supposedly evolved. Corliss writes, "The red giant-white dwarf transition is critical in the theory of stellar evolution. To find . . . [such] serious objections is unsettling." In essence, the evidence indicates white dwarf stars contain more mass than the stars from which they evolved, which is impossible. But, based on Electro-Gravitic Theory, white dwarf ...
318. The Uses of Language [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of his culture, regardless of the remanent social chaos of his times. A little more is to be learned by investigating the technique of metaphor. One might expect that, if there is a second level of meaning to the passages of the Love Affair, it would crop up in the guise of metaphor. W. B. Stanford writes that Homer generally engages heavily in metaphor but that his metaphors are ordinary and uninspired; "with a very few exceptions, Homer seems always stilted and even deliberately archaistic [liturgical] in his use of metaphors." [4 ] In the Love Affair, we find only three "genuine" metaphors among the hundred lines: " ...
319. The Dresden Codex and Velikovsky's Catastrophe Dates [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Maya books were available to scholars. These three, now known as the Paris, Madrid and Dresden Codices, were written on pages of the inner bark of fig trees, joined continuously and folded together like a screen. A heavy sizing of calcium carbonate prevented pages of codices later discovered in humid tombs from being separated without destruction of the writing. In 1971 a fourth codex in reasonable condition appeared in the Grolier Library in New York. This Grolier Codex, now in Mexico where it belongs, has been available to scholars long enough to be authenticated, and to contribute the first perpetual calendar of the phases of Venus, but not long enough to be the subject of broad ...
320. Stories of Radioactivity and Mutations [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... may have been the first to notice that the strange material, shamir, may have been radioactive [4 ,5 ]. Shamir had to be kept in a container made of lead because it would burst open that made of any other metal such as iron [6 ]. The breast plate of the high priest was engraved by first writing with ink and then exposing the writing to shamir. Velikovsky speculated that the ink may have contained lead salts. The breast plate surface that was unprotected by the ink would disintegrate, leaving the writing to stand out in relief. Shamir became inactive after four hundred years. Kjellson, whose work [7 ,8 ] was called to ...
