Saturn
Of Saturn I intended, already for some two decades,
to write in a volume “Saturn and the Flood,” in which, as the title
discloses, I would endeavor to identify this planet as the prime
cause of the greatest of all catastrophes in human memory—the
universal flood, or Deluge. This part of Worlds in Collision was
conceived and drafted together with the parts dealing with Venus
and Mars, but the elaboration of details was postponed and other
labors claimed my attention and I am still before work unfinished.
I will, however, disclose in a few sentences what is the subject of
that part of reconstruction of world history.
The age that man later called the Age of Cronos (Saturn) was
remembered with nostalgia as the age of bliss. It was the the earliest age
of which man retained some, however dim, memories, but farther into the
past, the dimness amounts almost to darkness. Saturn was also a more
massive body than it is now, possibly of the volume of Jupiter, 1 whereas
now the proportion is approximately 7 to 13.
“Chlorine should be looked for in the Saturnian spectrum of absorption.”
Ozone, though heavier than oxygen, is absent in the lower layers of the atmosphere, is present in the upper layers, and is not subject to the “mixing effect of the wind.” The presence of ozone high in the atmosphere suggests that oxygen must be still higher: “As oxygen is less dense than ozone, it will tend to rise to even greater heights.” (4) Nowhere is it asked why ozone does not descend of its own weight or at least why it is not mixed by the wind with other gases.
# Cyclones, characterized by low pressure and by winds blowing toward their centers, move counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. This movement of air currents in cyclonic vortices is generally explained as the effect of the earth’s rotation. Anticyclones, characterized by high pressure and by winds blowing from their centers move clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere. The movement of anticyclones has not been explained and is regarded as enigmatic. Cyclones and anticyclones are considered a problem of fluidal motion with highest or lowest pressure in the center. As the movement of anticyclones cannot be explained by the mechanistic principles of gravitation and rotation, it must be concluded that the rotation of cyclones is also unexplained.

It is not unthinkable that sometime before the age the record of ancient
civilizations reaches, Uranus, together with Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter,
formed a quadruple system that was captured by the sun and from which the
planets of the solar system had their origin
It is quite possible that the planet Uranus is the very planet known by this
name to the ancients. The age of Uranus preceded the age of Saturn; it came
to an end with the “removal” of Uranus by Saturn. Saturn is said to have
emasculated his father Uranus.(2)
The rain of gold on Rhodes is assigned by Pindar to the time when Athene was
born from the head of Zeus. The expulsion of the protoplanet Venus from the
body of Jupiter followed, by decades or by centuries, the contact of Saturn and
Jupiter, and the fantasy of the peoples regarded Venus as a child of Jupiter,
conceived to him by Saturn.
In 1866 a human skull was unearthed in the interior of Bald Mountain near
Altaville, in Calaveras County, California. The skull of Bald Mountain was
reported to have been found in the shaft of a gold mine, in a layer of
auriferous (gold-bearing) gravel, beneath four layers of lava, each
separated from the other by four layers of gravel.
