... of north and south, would turn the constellations of the north into constellations of the south, and show them in reversed order, as in the chart of the southern sky on the ceiling of Senmut's tomb." Finally, in his later reference to the Senmut ceiling, in Part II, Chapter VII, Poles Uprooted', he writes: - "Modern astronomy does not admit, or even consider, the possibility that at some historical time east and west as well as south and north were reversed." Let us now turn to the letter by Professor Lynn Rose, which appeared in Kronos VII:2 [2 ]. He writes: - "The Senmut ...
432. pc (Psycho-Ceramics) [Journals] [Kronos]
... wouldn't be expected of Analog. (2 ) Asimov pursues what he calls "CP-ery" through the subterfuge of relying on the reader's ignorance of facts, a criticism often leveled at Velikovsky by "acknowledged experts". Indeed, Asimov claimed to use Velikovsky as a convenient exercise, when in fact it was editorially agreed upon that he would write a counter-article to my own piece, "The Search for Truth," in that same issue. Asimov very astutely and rightly felt that he was not personally free of the CP virus. But quite frankly, who is? It's one of the qualities which makes people human - though not necessarily humane. If a CP can scent ...
433. Mythology and Repression [Journals] [SIS Review]
... issue (Vol.1 , No.2 ) of CATASTROPHIST GEOLOGY by Roger W. Wescott Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics, Drew University, Madison, New Jersey 07940, U.S .A . On the subject of Velikovskian Theory, I find that I stand closer to James than to Kloosterman. On p. 7, Kloosterman writes, "Velikovsky cannot have it both ways... valuating myth as a source of historical information and claiming that memory of historical catastrophes has been repressed." In so saying, Kloosterrnan, I believe, is misinterpreting psychoanalytic theory. From his statement, at any rate, I infer that he takes repression to be the annihilation ...
434. The Opening Of The Mouth Ritual - Part I [Journals] [Aeon]
... [1 ] "O King, I have come in search of you, for I am Horus; I have struck your mouth for you, for I am your beloved son; I have split open your mouth for you." (Pyramid Texts, Utterance 20) [2 ] Introduction "the mouth-sign... used to write the word for mouth... very few words are actually written in this way." [3 ] As Ev Cochrane asserted, in his Venus and the Celestial Here-after: "If there is one thing that stands out about the Egyptian civili-zation, it is an obsessive preoccupation with death and the means whereby immortality might be achieved ...
435. The Twelfth Planet: by Zecharia Sitchin [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. IV No. 4 (Summer 1979) Home | Issue Contents The Twelfth Planet: by Zecharia Sitchin (Stein and Day, New York, 1976; 384 pages, $12.95) Reviewed by Roger W. Wescott Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics Sitchin writes well. His book has good graphic illustrations. His scholarly sources - including the works of such orientalists as Henri Frankfort, Thorkild Jacobsen, and Samuel Kramer - are of high quality. And his contention that our solar system has undergone drastic changes in its planetary composition is refreshing to any reader willing to view natural history from a standpoint other than one of rigid uniformitarianism. Once these ...
436. Venus and Sirius: Some Unexpected Similarities [Journals] [Kronos]
... name is given, even in Maya dictionaries from early Colonial times, as "red/great star". The same association holds for the Maya of Classic times (300-900 A.D .) and of the Post-Classic period (900-1400 A.D .) . We know this because the Classic and Post Classic Maya had a glyphic writing system, and in it the glyph collocation representing Venus includes the glyph for the color red. More specifically, the Lamat-Venus(1 ) glyph (T510)(2 ) is the glyph of the planet Venus,(3 ) an identification accepted by virtually every epigrapher concerned with the Maya glyphs. The basic form of the glyph ...
437. Aristotle And Amnesia. Ch.2 To Know And Not To Know (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... From "Mankind in Amnesia" © 1982 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Aristotle And Amnesia Professor Lynn E. Rose The following section by Professor Lynn E. Rose was prepared at my suggestion. In it Rose summarizes some of the main themes of his book-in-progress on Aristotle. Almost every page of the writings of Aristotle raises two nagging questions: (1 ) "Why would anyone say that?" and (2 ) "Why have people throughout the ages admired a person who said such things?" These questions can best be answered in terms of Velikovsky's reconstruction of interplanetary near-collisions and in terms of his concept of collective cultural amnesia. The core and ...
438. Reopening the Sumerian Question [Journals] [Aeon]
... :2 (Feb 1988) Home | Issue Contents Reopening the Sumerian Question Jan Sammer Until about a hundred years ago, no one suspected that at the dawn of history an advanced and sophisticated culture had laid the foundations of the arts and sciences. Today it is claimed that "history begins in Sumer," that the Sumerians single-handedly invented writing, mathematics, and practically everything that we recognize as belonging to civilized life. For reasons that cannot be clearly discerned, historians claim that this civilization decayed by the end of the third millennium BCE, leaving but a faint echo of itself in later cultures. A thousand years and more would have to pass before its accomplishments began to ...
... 439] Thus, during the early part of World War II, when Hitler's Axis was more than holding its own against the Allies, Velikovsky "discovered" that the earliest known anti-Semitism had originated in a baseless historical misidentification. This "discovery" was surely very welcome to a Jew in those unhappy days. Velikovsky's Critics I resolved to write the foregoing analysis because I could not find, 25 years after the publication of Worlds in Collision, a satisfactory discussion of the merits of Velikovsky's work. That constitutes implicitly a resounding condemnation of Velikovsky's critics. In Chapter 13 I detail explicitly why the criticisms of Velikovsky's work were ineffective or counterproductive. But Velikovsky's critics were not only ineffective ...
440. Antiquated Textbooks: Redesigning the Solar System [Journals] [Aeon]
... column of October 2, 1966. There he wrote: " 'Velikovsky is right! ' his supporters are saying with renewed conviction. They argue that recent discoveries in space have demonstrated, at the least, that his cataclysmic concept of the world's history must be taken seriously. Among these discoveries, foreshadowed, they say, by the writings of Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky, are the Van Allen radiation belts [and please note the plural] around the earth... ". .. To account for certain motions of the moon in terms of his electromagnetic theory, Dr. Velikovsky said the earth's magnetism, above the atmosphere [above the ionosphere, actually], ...
