... of various peoples around the world in a manner not to be wiped away. In my published books I offered a reconstruction of some of these events from the historical past, a reconstruction built upon studying the human testimony as preserved in the heritage of all ancient civilizations. All of them, in texts bequeathed from the time man learned to write, tell in various forms the narrative that the trained eye of a psycho-analyst could not but recognize as so many variants of the same theme; in hymns, in prayers, in historical texts, in philosophical discourses, in records of astronomical observations, but also in legend and religious myth, the ancients desperately tried to convey to their ...
562. Views In Brief [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... by Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision (part 1, chapter VIII, "The Birth of Venus") in which the latter says that Quetzalcoatl first appeared following a disaster in which the Earth had been overwhelmed by convulsions and a deluge. Mr Eggleton suspects that Velikovsky considered this catastrophe to be the Exodus event, since at the time of writing his book he probably favoured the view that Venus had only recently emerged from Jupiter. Instead, Mr Eggleton suggests that it is more likely that the disaster, after which Quetzalcoatl appeared for the first time, was the Noachian Deluge. 2. Criticism of the recently published book, The Cosmic Serpent by Clube & Napier has been sent ...
563. Master Of Fieldwork: Come See For Yourself. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... eminent archaeologists of our time, Claude F. A. Schaeffer, member of the Institut, professor at the Collège de France. He wrote it from the Côte d'Azur on July 23, 1956, after reading Earth in Upheaval. I took it with me to the South where at the Mediterranean shore I find some time for reading and writing before I shall go out again to further archaeological and stratigraphical research in Syria (Ras Shamra) and Cyprus (Enkomi-Alasia), in September. I finished reading your book with the greatest interest and much profit. So he started his letter. No discovery made a revolution in biblical studies comparable with that which was caused by Schaeffer's findings ...
... he was hindered from doing it by Divine Providence, did still suggest that advice to them, by making use of which our enemies had well nigh corrupted the whole multitude of the Hebrews with their wiles, till some of them were deeply infected with their opinions; yet did he do him great honor, by setting down his prophecies in writing. And while it was in his power to claim this glory to himself, and make men believe they were his own predictions, there being no one that could be a witness against him, and accuse him for so doing, he still gave his attestation to him, and did him the honor to make mention of him on ...
565. On The Origin Of Tektites [Journals] [Kronos]
... that sample # 12013 "is more like the javanites than like the terrestrial rocks, even if the differences in the oxidation state of the iron and in the water content are, for the moment, overlooked."(9 ) O'Keefe's article, therefore, seems to provide still further evidence in favor of a lunar origin for tektites. Writing in 1973, Hartman, who seems to have been as unaware of O'Keefe's 1970 paper as I was, was still stating that the Moon's rocks are mainly igneous and not, like tektites, silica-rich.(10) Yet, according to O'Keefe, "for the kind of oxide ratios that we observe, the silica content of sample ...
566. "Let Them Throw The Brick". File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... through all those years. Repeatedly he expressed the wish to see my work published so that his students at Harvard and Boston universities might deliberate on its merits, taking sides and analyzing it in an earnest endeavor to find the historical truth. On one occasion in 1949 he wrote: Dr. Velikovsky discloses immense erudition and extraordinary ingenuity. He writes well and documents all his statements with the original ancient sources.... His conclusions are amazing, unheard of, revolutionary, sensational. If his findings are accepted by historians, all present histories for the period before Alexander the Great (who died in 323 B.C .) must be discarded, and completely rewritten. ...
567. Geological Buzz-Phrase Generator [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 1 No. 2 (Dec 1976) Home | Issue Contents Geological Buzz-Phrase Generator Pete Kilroy Sir Ernest Gower has pointed to "the baleful influence of American gobbledygook on certain sorts of writing, both academic and official". But, he adds, "the phenomenon has not gone uncriticised, even on the other side of the Atlantic." For instance, Canadian Defense Department officials are credited with the invention of a buzzphrase generator' for their own use (see E.Gowers, 1973: The Complete Plain Words. Her Majesty's Stationary Office, London). Here follows such a generator' for the benefit of geologists: I II III ...

... reason that there must be some. Eric: I am assuming that if the answer is that most important mythological traditions have indeed been considered it is because those are regarded as the oldest and most reliable ones to testthe theory on. Dwardu: Correct. Ev: Again I would agree with Dwardu with the caveat that myths first committed to writing in relatively recent times- such as the Irish traditions surrounding Cuchulainn- often preserve very old themes, while some traditions recorded very early on- the Enuma Elish, for example- appear very contaminated and are thus less reliable for reconstructing ancient history. Eric: But, what can be done with the rest, if anything? Dwardu: ...

... , but satisfied for the moment with whatever he found. He was generous. His wealth of mind is distributed around the world now in my pockets and yours, without usury. He was full of secrets that he would give away to any interested party- secrets of private lives, of history, of science, of myth, of writings, of books. He was full of politics but emptied of actions because he knew the way and that none would follow it. He would not set out to do good, but good would ride on his back. He would not seize upon a cause, but would give honest words, a comforting example, a plan of ...
570. Was the Spiral a Symbol or an Art-Motif? [Books]
... of the archaeology, the art history, and the customs and beliefs of a variety of peoples and cultures widely separated in space and time. Some antiquaries regard the problem as a simple rather than a complex one. They consider the spiral to be nothing more than an ancient "art motif', which, as we gather from their writings, pleased the fancy of the early craftsmen who "decorated" pottery, woodwork and stone, and made very special appeal to those who, it is assumed, were as anxious as are modern tradesmen to produce new and attractive forms of jewellery so as to induce patrons to make purchases. Some, indeed, go to the length ...
