Peleh:
Hidden Knowledge
Concerning
The Title
Peleh is a mystical Hebrew word, often translated ‘miracle’
or ‘miraculous.’ It is the nearest Old Testament
word to ‘supernatural.’ It connotes a revelation
of heretofore-concealed knowledge. Because Aleph is the first
letter in the Hebrew alphabet, it is considered the root of
all knowledge. Jewish scholars attach a mystical significance
to the fact that the same letters comprise ‘peleh’
and ‘aleph’, when spelled out. The root ‘peleh’
signifies a connection between the physical and the spiritual
via the power of speech. Consequently, the term ‘Peleh’
is used to describe those physical utterances which have both
a physical and spiritual meaning. This aptly describes my
book, which reveals ‘hidden’ knowledge concerning
encounters of Venus, Mars and Mercury with the Earth during
the Bronze and Iron Ages, suggesting that this chaos was purposefully
initiated by God in order to rejuvenate a ‘tired’
Earth, thereby accommodating the growing population of mankind.
The Jews tell the following story in regard to Peleh:
The Baal Shem Tov entered Meshiach’s (the Messiah)
heavenly chamber and asked “Meshiach, when are you going
to come?” Meshiach responded, “When the wellsprings
of your teachings spread forth throughout the entire world.”
Thus, only when the level of peleh - this level of wondrous
esoteric thought - has permeated the world, will the arrival
of the Meshiach be imminent.
This book is the Peleh spoken of in the story.

Clues from Egyptian Myths
Santillana and von Dechend (Hamlet’s Mill) suggest that
our inability to understand the meanings of many Egyptian
hieroglyphs belies the profound knowledge implicit in those
symbols. The following quote from their book suggests an example
of our current ignorance of the knowledge of the ancient Egyptians,
due to its almost impenetrable pictographic composition:
In the inscriptions of Dendera, published by Dümichen,
the goddess Hathor is called “lady of every joy.”
But once Dümichen adds: “Literally . . . ‘The
lady of every heart circuit.’ This is not to say that
the Egyptians had discovered the circulation of the blood.
But the determinative sign for “heart” often figures
as the plumb bob at the end of the plumb line coming from
a well known astronomical or surveying device, the merkhet.
Evidently, “heart” is something very specific,
as it were the “center of gravity.” And this may
lead in a completely different direction. The Arabs preserved
a name for Canopus - besides calling the star [Canopus] Kalb
at-taiman (“heart of the south”): [they also refer
to another Canopus as] Suhail el-wezn, “Canopus Ponderosus,”
the heavy-weighing Canopus, a name promptly declared meaningless
by the experts, but which could well have belonged to an archaic
system in which Canopus was the weight at the end of the plumb
line, as befitted its important position as a heavy star at
the south pole of the “waters below.” . . . The
line seems to state that Hathor (=Hat Hor, “house of
Horus”) “rules the revolution of a specific celestial
body - whether or not Canopus is alluded to ... The reader
is invited to imagine for himself what many thousands of such
pseudo-primitive or poetic interpretations must lead to: a
disfigured interpretation of Egyptian intellectual life.
At this point, myth
is leading us to an explanation of the fantastic events which
led up to the release of priori-Mars from its geosynchronous
orbit. The quote above implies that Hathor controls the revolution
of a body, which would logically be Canopus. Robert Temple,
author of the Sirius Mystery, corroborates the effect on priori-Mars,
stating that Canopus:
with a different determinative and when not applied
to a man, the word means ‘orbit’, ‘revolution,’
‘to go around’.
Both meanings reinforce the notion that Hathor controlled
the ‘orbit’ of priori-Mars.... Coppens’
(The Canopus Revelation) identification of the ‘massive
Canopus’ with the current south polar star of the same
name is just another unfortunate example in which modern day
researchers have mistakenly identified an existing star or
constellation with a proto-historical entity, which is no
longer present.
In Firmament and Chaos I detail the physical
events which took place at the end of each fifteen-year ‘dance
encounter,’ which were necessary for the escape of priori-Mars.
Amazingly, this involved the solid core coming out of the
mantle of the planet through the Valles Marineris. The latter
portion of the passage from Hamlet’s Mill above supplies
an important Egyptian corroboration of this mechanism. I maintain
that Suhail el-wezn, “Canopus Ponderosus,” the
‘massive Canopus,’ was either the name attributed
to priori-Mars itself or to its solid core. To clarify, in
Greek myth, the ‘ship’ Argo, ‘covered with
stars,’ was commanded by Osiris, whose ‘steersman’
was Canopus. The many volcanoes on the surface of priori-Mars,
which blazed down toward the earth during its encounters with
the Earth, were seen as stars (the circum-polar stars in many
cultures). Thus Argo was priori-Mars. The identity of Canopus
in Greek myth comes from another translation for Canopus,
‘the eye of the dog.’ As mentioned previously,
the great asymmetry of priori-Mars, which resulted in its
unique rotation about an axis pointing toward the earth, caused
it to be referred to as the ‘dog star.’ But what
was the ‘eye’? Egyptian myth clearly states that
Hathor was the ‘eye of Ra’ and the ‘dweller
in his breast.’
Therefore the correct interpretation of Hathor (=Hat Hor)
is the ‘Heart of Horus’, or in scientific jargon,
the solid core of priori-Mars, not the ‘House of Horus’
- the currently accepted meaning. Hathor was the Egyptian
name for Canopus and was the solid core (center) of priori-Mars.
Thus the solid core somehow “ruled the revolution”
of priori-Mars, and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, properly
interpreted, reveal this fact.
Combining the notion that the solid core appeared as an eye,
with our current knowledge of the surface features on Mars,
leads inevitably to the picture of the solid core first protruding
through the mantle of priori-Mars at the Valles Marineris,
a 4000 km straight scar roughly on the equator of priori-Mars,
and then exiting the planet.

9 The Rotation of priori-Mars
Ancient myth tells us that when in geosynchronous orbit over
the Trans-Himalayas, the north pole of priori-Mars, around
which the mantle of the planet rotated, remained pointed toward
the Earth. Scientists today believe this is impossible, because
massive, rigid, spinning bodies act as enormous gyroscopes,
maintaining their orientation relative to the stars, not continuously
changing it to point toward the Earth. Mythology not only
tells us that this did indeed happen, but also explains why
- because of the great mass asymmetry of priori-Mars which
resulted in its epithet ‘the dog star’ in many
cultures. This asymmetry resulted in the application of a
continually changing torque on its mantle, which maintained
its orientation toward the Earth.
This unique orientation was the reason for the ubiquitous,
ancient notion of a heavenly ‘mill’ or ‘cuern’
(churn) in many cultures and the ‘churning of the sea
of milk’ in Vedic myth. Entire treatises and even books
have been devoted to determining the origin of this mythical
‘mill,’ without success. One such book, Hamlet’s
Mill, by Georgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechand
is over six hundred pages in length. The authors analyze dozens
of literary works back to proto-historical times, in which
a ‘mill’ somehow plays a crucial role in the establishment
of ‘new world ages.’ After a number of promises
of a great revelation, their disappointing conclusion is that
the ubiquitous ‘mill’ was ancient culture’s
description of the precession of the equinoxes, a phenomenon
so subtle and remote that even most educated modern people
are blissfully unaware of it, with the possible exception
of astrology mavens. Astronomers have calculated that one
cycle of this precession requires approximately 26,000 years,
and many writers, like de Santillana, have attempted to project
this motion back through the millennia. But in the V/A scenario,
the spin axis of the Earth has been suddenly reoriented by
large angles on over two hundred occasions in the last 6,000
years. As a result, a single cycle of this precession of the
equinoxes has not yet taken place. The precession of the spin
axis of the Earth goes through only one thousandth of this
calculated cycle in a human generation and therefore could
hardly be the source of the ‘mill’ in diverse
cultures. The mill had to be a solid object, not an abstract
entity that no one could see. The authors themselves reveal
some reservations concerning their own hypothesis when they
attempt to explain the common notion that an unhinging of
the mill is repeated periodically and that these events are
closely related to consequent ‘world ending’ events:
The identity of the Mill, in its many versions, with
heaven is thus universally understood and accepted. But hitherto
nobody seems to have wondered about the second part of the
story, which also occurs in the many versions. How and why
does it always happen that this Mill, the peg of which is
Polaris, had to be wrecked or unhinged? Once the archaic mind
had grasped the forever-enduring rotation, what caused it
to think that the axle jumps out of the hole? What memory
of catastrophic events has created this story of destruction?
Why should Vainamoinen (and he is not the only one) state
explicitly that another Mill has to be constructed (see p.
110)? Why had Dhruva to be appointed to play Pole star--and
for a given cycle?
The first sentence
is a bit surprising. They state that the new fact that they
have just revealed, the identity of the mill, “is universally
understood and accepted.” Moreover, their unconvincing
interpretation of the unhinging of the mill is:
The simple answer lies in the facts of the case. The
Pole star does get out of place, and every few thousand years
another star has to be chosen which best approximates that
position.
It is not surprising that de Santillana and von Dechend have
failed to find the truth, as have many thoughtful researchers
before them, because the sterile academic establishment as
a whole, including scientists and humanists, fails to recognize
the role of recent catastrophism in forming the Earth and
the history of mankind. This lack of understanding is evidenced
over and over in Hamlet’s Mill when the authors repeat
the usual associations of existing stars, incorrectly, with
archaic mythical names. The most glaring examples of such
errors being the association of Osiris and Isis with the constellation
Orion and the star Sirius, the identification of the mythical
‘seven sisters’ with the star cluster, and the
identification of Saturn in Greek myth with the ringed, giant
planet.
A number of the legends entail an unhinging of the mill, the
destruction of its pivot or ‘world axis’ - usually
in connection with the establishment of a ‘new world
age.’ This actually refers to the events associated
with the release of priori-Mars, at which time the great hardened
lava fountain at the north pole collapsed. This was the pivot
of the mill referred to in ancient myth. The ‘unhinging’
myths sometimes include a whirlpool flowing into or out of
the central hole that is vacated when the world axis or ‘world
tree’ is removed. The unhinging of the mill also explains
the common association of shamans with blacksmiths, who are
involved in the construction of the mill, because the fall
of iron meteorites from priori-Mars was a common experience
following these events. Some examples of mill legends are:
Snaebjorn’s (an Icelandic bard) Amlodhi’s’
Mill, (where ludr=mill); The Finnish Kalevala, which focuses
on the adventures of Vainamoinen and his Sampo (=mill, derived
from the Sanskrit skambha = pillar or pole); and Frodhi’s
(Freyr) magic mill, Grotte, in Norse myth. In some cultures,
priori-Mars was described as a wheel instead of a mill, as
in the case of the Celtic goddess Arianhead, meaning ‘silver
wheel.’
Shamans are said to live in a spiritual middle world between
an upper and a lower world. This comes from the time that
priori-Mars orbited above the Earth. They enter a trance using
a circular, ornamented drum made from a specially selected
tree and animal skin, sometimes ceremonially ‘activated’
by a sprinkling of beer (manna?). The wooden shell is imagined
to be from the cosmic tree, which ‘the lord’ has
caused to fall. The Shaman travels from one world to another
by means of the ‘world tree,’ that is, the axis
that passes through the center of the world, just as the deceased
Pharaoh was imagined to climb to the Duat via a rope ladder
extending down from ‘heaven.’ The drum is a mandala,
an image of priori-Mars and the world tree is the primary
deity, the great hardened volcanic feature that extended downward
toward the Earth from its north pole. This is corroborated
by the fact that the most archaic of shaman symbols is an
inverted tree, with its roots in the air.
The Axis Mundi or World Pole
The axis about which the ‘Mill’ rotated often
received more attention in ancient myth than the Mill itself,
because a great deal of cosmic action was concentrated there.
Quoting John Mitchell:
In all traditional systems of religion [the image
of the world-pole] has provided the dominant theme. The doctrine
associated with it describes the universe as a divinely born
creature, never the same, never at rest, but with a still,
unvarying centre which, like the core of a magnetic field,
governs everything around it ... In every traditional society
... a rock or pillar within the national sanctuary ... is
known to be the generation centre of mankind and the spot
where the pole of the universe penetrates the Earth.
This axis was not only the source from which ‘everything’
came into existence, it was also the place where Heaven, Earth
and the Underworld met. Myths from different cultures provide
consistent physical descriptions of the ‘worldpole,’
but each also contributes subtle differences, all of which
provide information, for example: a fire stick or flaming
deity at its axis; Saturn, ‘genie du pivot’; Mixcouatl;
world pillar; skambha (Sanskrit); north nail; Mill tree; world
axis (=axis mundi, which passes through ‘both worlds’);
the nave or navel (Sanskrit nabbi); the square axle-block
which fills the hole in the millstone; seven bulls or giant
maidens which turn the Mill; a whirlpool into which an ocean
disappears upon the periodic removal of the axis tree and
the subsequent unhinging or destruction of the Mill, resulting
in the ending of the current world age, which is replaced
and ruled by another deity. Plato described how the firmament
is bound ‘by a straight shaft of light ... and from
the extremities stretched the ’Spindle of Necessity’.
A Jewish myth says ‘There is an upper and a lower paradise,
and between them, upright, is fixed a pillar by which they
are joined together and it is called the Hill of Sion. In
the Tale of the Ostyaks of the lrtysh the lava column is described
as follows:
There is a mill which grinds by itself, swings of
itself, and scatters the dust a hundred versts away. And there
is a golden pole with a golden cage on top which is also the
Nail of the North.
Another myth describes
a handle (‘mundil’) by which the Mill is rotated.
This designation of the world pole is particularly perceptive.
Because of the location of the Tharsis Bulge on one side of
the priori-Mars, the daily rotation of its mantle about its
north pole was not a precise circle. The single off-center
mass caused a precessional or wobbling rotation of the mantle
of priori-Mars. Although this took about a day, the careful
observer would have noted that the ‘axis’ actually
moved in a small circle, exactly the way the handle used to
turn a grindstone moves.
The ‘north nail’ is often associated with a conical
mountain or mound. Quoting Alan Alford:
If we go back to the first principles and look at
the fundamentals of ancient Egyptian religion, it then becomes
evident that there was an obsession with the concepts of the
primeval mound emerging from the Abyss.
The mound was built
up as a result of the many collapses of the massive lava fountain,
which formed the axis itself. These collapses did not only
occur at the times of the releases of priori-Mars from geosynchronous
orbit, but many times during each dance encounter when the
pair of planets passed through alignments with the Moon, or
the Sun and Moon combined. The great height attained by this
feature, which I estimate at more than 1000 kilometers (See
Figure), and that when it collapsed, the debris covered vast
areas in the northern plains of priori-Mars. In fact, both
NASA Viking probes 1 and 2 landed in the debris field of this
feature as can be seen in Figure 23. The vast extent of the
debris is corroborated by the locations of these landers:
47.8 N 22.5 W and 48 N 225.6 W.
The names of the prominent ‘worldpole’ deity and
the mountain on which it stood, were often adopted as the
names of mountains on the Earth in the regions of each culture,
implying that this was the other end of the world axis on
priori-Mars. This has led to considerable confusion in the
interpreting of some myths. Examples abound: Mt. Olympus where
Zeus lived; Mt. Meru of India, which signified an axis or
pivot; the Chinese Kwen-lun (Pearl Mountain); Harabeeza in
Iran; the Babylonian Akkad, the mountain on whose apex the
heaven of the fixed stars is pivoted. In Jewish myth the world
is centered on Mt. Sion. Also, powerful earthly rulers often
assumed the name of the ‘axis deity’, the primary
feature on priori-Mars, as their own. For example, pharaohs
were thought to become an Osiris when they passed away, in
Egyptian culture.
‘World trees’ were less common but are present,
for example, in German myth as Irmensul, ’the universal
column which supports all things,’ which is related
to the world tree of the Northmen. In the Egyptian myth of
Isis and Osiris, a great tree incorporated the sarcophagus
of Osiris.
............................................................................................................
The Fifth Head of Brahma
Although Brahma was commonly said to have four heads, on one
occasion a unique event occurred, which is told as the myth
of Brahma’s ‘fifth head.’ The myth of the
fifth head of Brahma is of particular interest, because it
may be a description of the only sustained, naked fission
reaction ever witnessed by man:
In pictures Brahma is represented as a red man with
four heads, though in the Puranas he is said to have had originally
five. ... His fifth head also having read the Vedas, which
the other four heads had delivered, acquired a splendor which
neither suras (gods) nor asuras (demons) could endure...Unable
to approach or behold it, they determined to apply to Siva
for relief...Siva granted their wish and proceeded with them
to where Brahma remained inflated with pride. On seeing Siva,
Brahma did not pay him the customary honours. Siva, seeing
Brahma's fifth head inflicting distress on the universe by
its effulgent beams, brighter than a thousand suns, approached
him and said, 'Oh! this head shines with too much splendour,'
and immediately cut it off with the nail of his left thumb.
The Mahabarata says it was because of his seduction his own
daughter that Siva decapitated him. This crime was attempted
when in a fit of intoxication.
The ‘fifth
head’ of Brahma was so bright ('brighter than a thousand
suns’) that people on Earth could not look directly
at it. The myth explains whimsically that the brightness of
the fifth head of Brahma was a result of pride, at having
received or learned the complete knowledge of the four Vedas
from the other four ‘heads.’ But the Velikovsky/Ackerman
scenario, combined with modern physics, provides a more sanguine
explanation. Fractionation of compounds or elements in the
central lava column resulted in the hottest elements rising
to the top of the column. On one occasion the subsurface melting
reached a deposit containing a concentration of uranium within
priori-Mars. The radioactive material rose together to the
top of the lava column and formed a critical mass, initiating
a sustained, naked (unshielded) nuclear reaction. This continued
for an extended period of time until the nuclear fuel was
expended. It emitted such copious amounts of radiation, that
it could not be viewed directly even though the source was
some 32,000 kilometers from the Earth. The effects of the
extremely energetic gamma radiation from this reaction may
be manifested in the rocks that were exposed on the surface
of priori-Mars at that time. This notion itself comes from
Vedic myth, which states that this radiation somehow cut the
concentric grooves which surrounded the sacred Mt. Meru, discussed
previously. The meaning of the cutting off of the head by
the ‘nail of Siva’s left thumb’ eludes me.
The ‘cutting off’ of the same ‘head’
was described in Greek myth where, by stealing the ‘single
eye’ of the three Graeae, Perseus obtained the ‘equipment’
needed to cut off the head of the Gorgon Medusa, who was supposedly
so ‘ugly’ that anyone who looked directly at it
would die. This extreme ugliness was a metaphor for the extreme
brightness of the fifth head of Brahma. The equipment, a cap
of invisibility, an adamantine sickle and a reflecting shield,
shed a little light on the physical processes contributing
to removal of the Gorgon’s head. Perseus was also described
as the winged axis, which pierces both poles through the center
of the Earth and Mars, about which the worlds rotate, i.e.
the column of fire itself, so the Greeks seem to identify
the Gorgon and Perseus as the same feature. This may be a
distortion introduced by revisionists. Note that the same
features: the ‘axis;’ the ‘glowing head;’
and the ‘single eye’ are common to most of the
ancient myths. There is little doubt that these unique characteristics
were repeatedly observed in the heavens in order to be present
in the myths of such widely dispersed cultures. In The Sunny
Side of the Greek Gorgon, Clark Hopkins suggests a very similar
reason why the Gorgon’s head could not be viewed directly:
It is tempting to suggest that the averted countenance
of Perseus represented originally the inability to look at
the Sun.
The notion that the severed head was somehow ‘retained’
is also part of the Hindu myth. Because Siva cut off Brahma’s
fifth head and thereby committed the sin of killing a Brahmin,
he was condemned, in his form of Bhairava, the terrible one,
to bear the fifth head of Brahma forever.
This implies the possibility that the head was retained as
a satellite of priori-Mars. Coincidently the two small satellites
of Mars reveal striking differences in their physical appearances.
Diemos, exhibits a much smoother surface, which is remindful
of ‘pillow lava’ formed on Earth when molten lava
flows into the sea (Figure 28). This resemblance, combined
with the retention of the fifth head in the myth suggests
the possibility that Diemos is the residual of the body which
went ‘critical’ just a few thousand years ago.
Future missions to Mars should attempt to measure any gamma
radiation from Diemos.
