... every four years. In -238, in the ninth year of Ptolemy III Euergetes, a priestly decree was published in the Delta. In the last century it was found in Tanis and is known as the Canopus Decree for the place where the conclave to reform the calendar had taken place. Like the Rosetta Stone, it was composed in Greek, in hieroglyphic Egyptian, and in demotic Egyptian-and if it had been found before the Rosetta Stone it would have been the key to deciphering the hieroglyphics. In order that the feast of the star Isis and other festivals "should not wander around the seasons", it was decreed at Canopus that one day every four years should be ...
212. Devi And Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... (4 , 5, 8, 9) It is therefore extremely interesting to note the observation of Francis Xavier Kugler that the "association of Venus with Leo [i .e ., the lion] must have had a momentous meaning for the ancients, since the several goddesses that represent Venus, such as the Phrygian Cybele, the Greek Great Mother, the Carthaginian Coelestis, had the lion as an inseparable companion. Coelestis [like the Devi, let us note] was portrayed as riding a lion while holding a spear in her hands" (Emphasis supplied).(10) Livio C. Stecchini, to whom I am indebted for the above quotation from Kugler ...
213. The Sacred Mountain [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... image was devastating, followed by the subsequent catastrophes described by Velikovsky. Images of the mountain were made to bring back the golden age and garden of Eden, around which were constructed great civilizations and upon which were founded great- but suppressive- religions. The citadel of Troy as the earthly representation of the Sacred Mountain was overcome by the Greeks in the Trojan War, which ushered in a Greek Heroic Age and founded Western culture. Greek cities were built for human comfort, with forums and agoras for social gathering and baths for relaxing and discussing philosophy; religion was banished to Delphi. In the early Roman Empire Rome was built on the Greek model, permitting the Eastern Mediterranean ...
214. Chronological Implications of a Proper Identification of the Labyrinth [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... identification of Saqqara as the location of the Labyrinth. As discussed by Armayor, neither the evidence relied upon by Petrie nor his use of it is certain [4 ]. Likewise, various Greco-Roman papyri that mention the Labyrinth do not allow one to fix its location [5 ]. Armayor, who argues that the Egyptian Labyrinth was a Greek fiction (a conclusion reached, in my opinion, using various false chronological assumptions and some real straining), nevertheless includes Saqqara among the possible locations for complexes that the Greeks might have called a Labyrinth. Of course, Herodotus and Strabo did not discuss every Egyptian temple and pyramid. They only discussed the most noteworthy. But if ...
215. The Celestial Tower [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... that reached to the sky. Westerners are perhaps most familiar with the biblical version of the story, the Tower of Babel. In this account, it is the ambition of humans that leads them to attempt the raising of a tower to the heavens: but mankind's plans are frustrated when God confuses their speech. In the traditon of the Greeks, the tower-building story is connected with a devastating upheaval of nature which saw the Olympians pitted against the Titans, who endeavour to reach the domain of the gods by piling mountains on top of each other. The resulting tower however is smashed when Zeus strikes it with a thunderbolt. In the Norse myth, the giants attempt to reach ...
216. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... introduces us to the evidence that a distortion of some eight hundred years may lie behind the conventional scheme of Egyptian history when it refers to the time of Ramesses III and the XXth Dynasty, which is usually dated to the 12th century BC. It begins with a detailed description of the tiles of Ramesses III from Tell el-Yahudiya, which bear Greek letters incised on the reverse during the process of manufacture. Photographs and full descriptions of these tiles allow the reader to judge for himself the veracity of these letters - they are not only letters of the Greek alphabet, which did not originate until the eighth century BC, but show clear signs of being classical forms, that is, ...

... the methodology of the historical investigation and the other on the physical implications of the theory. We are now back to methodology, and once again James Fitton will provide the catalyst, this time for a look at the myths and symbols of the "comet" Venus. Among the representatives of Venus, according to Immanuel Velikovsky, was the Greek goddess Athena, a power born from the head of Zeus "like a blazing star which the lord of heaven shoots forth, bright and scattering sparks." Since the star trailing flame or sparks is a universal hieroglyph for the comet, various translators have rendered the expression in this line from the _Iliad_ as just that - ...
218. Did Thutmose III Despoil the Temple in Jerusalem? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and his unorthodox approach seemed tempting enough to be taken seriously and to justify a critical investigation. Before concentrating on the problem just outlined, some explanatory remarks on Velikovsky's "revised chronology" may be welcome (8 ). To the great disappointment of the Egyptologists, history books of the kind preserved in the Old Testament or those composed by Greek historians have never been found among the countless documents discovered in Egypt. "What is proudly advertised as Egyptian history is merely a collection of rags and tatters," complains the eminent Egyptologist Sir Alan Gardiner (9 ). But even such a collection requires some framework - and this is the task of chronology. But how does one ...

It will be useful to recapitulate the ideas of the frame, as it has been traced through the Greek precedents. It started out, innocently enough, with the frame of a ship (see above, pp. 230f.), as the Greeks did, and finally ended up with the bewildering "world tree" called the skambha, which even Plato might have found intractable. In the end, it is nothing more than the ...
