THE SATURN THESIS
Prinicples of the Saturn Thesis By David Talbott
The origins of ancient mythology; the birth of the
first civilizations; a violent history of the solar
system: these are the primary themes of what has
been called the "Saturn Thesis." In the broadest
sense, what I have proposed is an explanation of the
myth-making epoch as a whole.
Astronomers and astrophysicists, historians,
anthropologists, archaeologists and students of
ancient myth and religion are asked to reconsider
the most common assumptions about world history,
including many that have rarely if ever been
doubted. The underlying principles of the theory are
these:
1.Major changes in the planetary order, some
involving Earth-threatening catastrophes, have
occurred within human memory.
2.Through myth, ritual and symbol around the world,
our ancestors preserved a global record of these
tumultuous events.
3.The first civilizations arose from ritual
practices honoring, imitating and memorializing
these events and the planetary powers involved. It
should go without saying that if the underlying
principles are correct, there is an extraordinary
evidential value to the mythical-cosmological
underpinnings of the first civilizations.
Hence, the communications challenge: this evidential
value is virtually never acknowledged by
conventional schools. Nevertheless, the model I have
offered holds one advantage that prior catastrophist
notions based on ancient testimony have lacked. It
is specific enough to be easily disproved on its own
ground if wrong. Whatever else one may think of the
thesis, it meets this test of a good theory.
THE POLAR CONFIGURATION The theory holds that a
unique congregation of planets preceded the
planetary system familiar to us today. For
earthbound witnesses, the result was a spectacular,
at times highly unified apparition in the heavens,
the obsessive focus of human attention around the
world.
For more than 20 years, I have claimed that this
fear-inspiring image once stretched across the
northern sky, towering over ancient starworshippers.
Planet-sized bodies, moving in extremely close
proximity to the Earth, shared in an unusual
planetary alignment having no similarity to the
relationship of planets and their moons today. I
termed this planetary arrangement the polar
configuration because it was centered on the north
celestial Pole. And I have proposed that the history
of this configuration is the history of the ancient
gods, recorded in the fantastic stories, pictographs
and ritual reenactments of the first star
worshippers.
A vast field of data is therefore available to the
investigator. Remarkably similar pictures of a "sun"
in the sky, revealing no similarity to our sun
today. A pictographic crescent placed on the orb of
the "sun" and a radiant "star" placed squarely in
its center. The universal chronicles of a cosmic
mountain, a pillar of fire and light rising along
the world axis. The myth of a central sun or
motionless sun at the celestial pole.
A radiant city or temple of heaven, providing the
prototype for the sacred habitation on earth. Global
memories of a star-goddess with long-flowing hair.
An angry goddess raging across the sky with wildly
disheveled hair, threatening to destroy the world. A
flaming serpent or dragon disturbing the celestial
motions or attacking the land. An ancestral warrior
or hero, born from the womb of the star-goddess to
vanquish the chaos-serpent or dragon. Is it even
possible that such diverse motifs could have a
unified explanation?
Well, one fact remains uncontested after many years
of publishing on this subject. The hypothesized
planetary configuration does predict or account for
hundreds of ancient themes never before explained.
Indeed, I have gone so far as to brashly claim that
not a single general motif of ancient myth, ritual
or symbolism is left unexplained in the most
straightforward way by the model. And that's what I
mean when I say the model supports a general theory
of ancient symbolism as a whole.
It needs to be emphasized, therefore, that the
historical argument for the polar configuration is
fully testable against a massive historical record.
And I would hope that this will provide some
assurance to those unnerved by the source material
(ancient testimony): if the model is fundamentally
incorrect, the experts on ancient myth and symbolism
will have no trouble whatsoever refuting it. To
evaluate the theory, one must start at the
beginning, with the model itself, and one must be
willing to ask the question,
WHAT IF? This is, after all, the only way a new
theory can be evaluated, irrespective of the
theoretical domains effected by the idea. First one
must comprehend the thesis. Then one must ask two
questions: Does any prior theory account for the
data to be explained? How fully will the new thesis
explain the data?
Hence, the challenge for the critic is vastly
simplified. If one recurring theme can be shown to
answer to our sky today, or does not find an
immediate explanation in the postulated events
(selective use of evidence not allowed), then the
thesis is disproved, at least as a unified theory.
We cannot emphasize strongly enough that the best
starting point for exploring the Saturn Thesis is
the new MYTHSCAPE documentary ("Remembering the End
of the World," a 90-minute documentary now available
on home video;
MYTHSCAPE is planned as an extended series focusing
on the Saturn Thesis). Visualization is the key to
understanding both the theory and its explanatory
power. Additionally, we would urge you to obtain a
subscription to the journal, AEON: A Journal of Myth
and Science. We suggest you begin your subscription
with Vol. IV, No. 3, which includes the first
installment of an extensive interview highlighting
the key components of the theory. The second
installment will be out later this summer, and this
comprehensive overview is expected to continue
through many, many issues, prior to publication of
the material in any other form.
Also, if you are unfamiliar with the issues spawned
by Immanuel Velikovsky's number one bestseller,
Worlds in Collision, in 1950, we recommend, as an
introduction, the ten issue series "Immanuel
Velikovsky Reconsidered," published by Pensee
magazine in the mid seventies. It was this series
that sparked much of the most significant research
in this field over the past twenty years. These
issues are now available on computer diskettes.
++++++++++++++++++++ Further discourse
Dear David: In my MYTHSCAPE the Celebration
of Saturnalia (as performed in New Orleans
for example)
SATURNALIA - correlates with JABULON in 33rd
degree Free Masonry 11.8/8.11
and is a key aspect of our Global
Education. There are Jinns along with Angels
all working towards a single intent. A quantum
bounce to centre ...
JABULON - is the secret name of God - both Temporal
and Spiritualof the Freemason's - Cathors - Knights
Templar.
In the ritual of exaltation, the name of the Great
Architect is revealed as JA-BUL-ON which is a
precise designation that describes a specific
supernatural being - a compound deitycomposed of
three separate personalities fused into one.
Each syllable of the "ineffible name" represents on
personality of this Trinity.
JAH = Jahweh, God of the Hebrews.
BUL = Baal, the ancient Canaanite fertility god
associated with "licentious rites of imitative
magic." ****
ON = Osiris, The Ancient Egyptian God of the
Underworld.
Baal was the false god with whom Jahweh competed for
the allegiance of the Israelites in the Old
Testament. The 16th Century Demonologist, John Weir,
identified Baal as a devil. This grotesque
manifestation of evil had the body of a spider
andthree heads. Those of a toad, a man and a cat.
His descriptioncan be found in de Plancy's
"Dictionary of Witchcraft." Baal taught his
followers guile and cunning and gave them the
ability to become invisible among men.

their contents through ages of ignorance"
