The Jonah Legend by William Simpson Anonymous 09/16/25 (Tue) 16:53:42 1e2a45 No. 67
I found this book next the Buddhist Praying-wheel, also by William Simpson and published in 1899. It is full of all sorts of interesting detail regarding Jonah from the point of view of comparative mythology.

First interesting thing he says is we only have Jonah's word for it. He is cast into the sea, disappears. He reappears on land but no one sees him swallowed by a fish or disgorged.

Just going a few pages in and there is already a great description of the Celestial River flowing down from whom? Saturn? Jupiter?
Also depicted in >>63 in a excellent carving at Wakefield Cathedral, showing the 'river' descend from Heaven and it swirling. The Indian legend is surely correct that were it not for the stick man on whom the river fell (caused by Earth's strong electromagnetic field) the habitable Earth would be destroyed, as Mars has.
