The Jonah Legend by William Simpson Anonymous 09/16/25 (Tue) 16:53:42 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.

>>67

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.

Page 73.

It is interesting that khatana in semitic languages has the same cutting purpose as a katana in Japanese. I think when a planet got too near Saturn an electrical column (from the Earth perspective, penis-shaped) extended towards it. Same shape as our Tower of Babel but from at outside perspective. The shining crescent (or grail) rotated until a flash and it would be gone, electrical balance restored.

That fits with the crescent and grail legends and fits with an electrical view. It would be visually impressive if Mars stood overhead 4x the size of the Moon extending a glowing cock toward the Celestial City then the shining blade in the sky cut the end off. That could lead to some new customs emerging.

The same word so far apart is remarkable. I wonder if it made a sound like that at the time.
