221 pages of results. 611. On The Velikovsky Archive Web site [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... who has actually seen the site would conclude that the vast effort involved in compiling it was prompted by a desire for "revenge". The decision to compile an online archive was prompted by the dismay of a number of individuals at the fact that two decades after Dr. Velikovsky's death and contrary to his expressed wishes, many of the writings that he had been preparing for the press remained unpublished. By all indications no effort was being made to bring any of the unpublished manuscripts into print since Mrs. Velikovsky's death in 1983. As an example, Dr. Rose and Dr. Velikovsky co-authored a book entitled "The Sins of the Sons" on the 1974 AAAS symposium ...

His writings on a wide range of subjects have appeared m periodicals as diverse as Analog, New Scientist, Penthouse, Science Digest, Fate and Pursuit, with Velikovskian topics published in Physics Today, Industrial Research & Development and SIS Review & Workshop. His role as an advocate for Velikovsky's ideas led to invited contributions in Zetetic Scholar, Biblical Archaeology ...
613. Did Jupiter Give Birth to Uranus & Neptune? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... not always been in their current orbits have been put forward by two teams of astronomers. This work, along with recent speculation that Jupiter may have formed much further from the Sun than its current position, and the discovery of other planetary systems orbiting other stars, is forcing a reappraisal of our understanding of how the planets were formed. Writing in the journal Nature, researchers from Queens University in Kingston, Canada, propose that all of the giant planets in our Solar System formed in a narrow region of the gas and dust cloud that surrounded the early Sun. They suggest that they ended up in their present orbits as a result of violent and chaotic scattering. This would ...
614. Cosmic Heretics [Books] [de Grazia books]
... published in 1906, in 100 copies, and sent to interested persons for comment. General publication ensued in 1918. In 1975 republished by Berg: Dunwoody, Georgia. IN SEARCH OF TIMES PAST I did not obtain Alfred de Grazia's materials for this book without remonstrance and persiflage. I had thought that he would be pleased to have someone writing about his activities, especially someone like myself who could be counted upon for sympathy, and indeed intended to do so, in several volumes, no less. Strange, for Immanuel Velikovsky had responded to me in the same way! When I muttered something about reminiscence and the consolations of old age, he was primed for the retort ...
615. Beyond Bauer [Journals] [Aeon]
... of wrong-headed ideas, as has been well-documented). (16) Darwin, moreover, was hardly renowned for his graciousness to his predecessors in evolutionary theory, and yet his place in history is assurred just the same. (17) Although many will resist its conclusions to the bitter end, Bauer's book offers a valid criticism of Velikovsky's writings, and as such it represents a challenge to revise those aspects of Velikovsky's work that are clearly at variance with the established facts of science and to build upon the brilliant insights that characterize that author's work in more than one field of study. What then are the fundamental issues raised by Velikovsky? Here opinions will differ, influenced, ...
616. Venus: A Battle Star? [Journals] [Horus]
... as one option, overthrow and defeat in battle. This is reinforced by Seler's additional observation that Tlauizcalpantecutli (the god of the Morning and Evening Star) was a representative of those who have fallen in battle. In his "Historia de los Indios de Nueva Espana," (History of the Indians of New Spain) Friar Toribio Motlinia writes; "After the Sun, they worshiped and made more sacrifices to this star [Venus] than to any other celestial or terrestrial creature. After it disappeared in the West, the astrologers knew the day when the Eastern One (the "eastern planet" or "planet in the East") would first appear again, and ...
617. Letters [Journals] [Kronos]
... " by "authority figures".(3 ) The first mode is obviously the most primitive and can be completely effective only with catastrophes small enough and remote enough, e.g ., the 1915-1916 killing of more than one million Armenians by the Turks, a holocaust which has now disappeared almost completely from western history and social science writing. Because of its geographic and psychological centrality- relatively few western intellectuals are Armenian, many Jewish- the Jewish holocaust can only become part of the collective amnesia through a gradual victim reduction. More important, therefore, has been the largely successful attempt to blame the "guilty" victims, a view which exactly corresponds to Myers' ...
618. On the Recent Discoveries Concerning Jupiter and Venus [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . F. D. Drake describe this discovery as a surprise... in a field in which the fewest surprises were expected. ' We would have expected a temperature only slightly greater than that of the earth... Sources of internal heating (radioactivity) will not produce an enhanced surface temperature. ' Cornell H. Mayer writes [5 ], All the observations are consistent with a temperature of almost 600 degrees, ' and admits that the temperature is much higher than anyone would have predicted. ' Although we disagree with Velikovsky's theories, we feel impelled to make this statement to establish Velikovsky's priority of prediction of these two points and to urge, in view ...
619. Geology And Archaeology. Ch.13 Collapsing Schemes (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... the European continent, "where documentation from early post-glacial sites is much more complete, we find a rather sudden disappearance" of the fauna.3 When measured by archaeological standards, however, the artifacts and other remains of human origin found with the fossils point to a much closer date in Europe too. K. S. Sandford, writing of the conflict of views between geologists and archaeologists in England, says: "The difference of opinion in some instances is so complete that one or the other must assuredly be wrong."4 Those who measure the time in terms of cultural or physical anthropology and archaeology stand in very definite opposition to all estimates based on a geological ...
620. Who Were the Assyrians of the Persian Period [Journals] [Aeon]
... would thus reconstruct the stratigraphy of Assyria as follows: (1 ) Hellenistic and/or Parthian stratum (upper stratum, late 4th century BCE onwards): It continues the material culture of the Assyrians which supposedly vanished in the late 7th century BCE. (2 ) Pseudo-hiatus of 300 to 750 years which, for chronological reasons, archaeologists write into their excavation reports though material continuity pertains between lower and upper strata. (3 ) Assyrian strata of the post-Mitanni period (lower stratum, up to the late 7th century BCE). These remains belong to the Middle, Neo, and Late Assyrians as well as to the contemporary Cappadocians. The latter were called Khat-Patukans by the ...
