... act of mercy she committed; the taking over of the crown and scepter by the old regent, the relative who, during the entire period, had been scheming toward this end; the role of the oracle to which human sacrifices were made, and the equally prominent role of an old blind seer-all these elements are found both in the Greek drama about what happened in the seven-gated Thebes in Boeotia and in the Egyptian history of what took place in the hundred-gated Thebes on the Nile. Single parallels between two sets of events can also be found in situations of recorded history far apart in time. Thus, Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church as Akhnaton broke with the cult ...
242. Part III: The Legends [Ragnarok] [Books]
... question of the unity of the race. They proved that all the nations were repeating the same stories, in some cases in almost identical words, just as their ancestors had heard them, in some most ancient land, in "the dark background and abysm of time," when the progenitors of the German, Gaul, Gael, Greek, Roman, Hindoo, Persian, Egyptian, Arabian, and the red people of America, dwelt together under the same roof-tree and used the same language. But, above all, these legends prove the absolute fidelity of the memory of the races. We are told that the bridge piles driven by the Romans, two thousand years ...
243. Venus. Supplement: Astronomy And Chronology Ch.3 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... the part of the interpreters of this decree and of the Sothic period arose because the star of Isis and the star Sothis were supposed to have been one and the same-both Sirius. But the star of Isis is Venus-Pliny says that Isis is the planet Venus [6 ] -and the Canopus Decree may speak of two different stars. The Greek text of the decree [7 ] says that "a general festival and procession shall be celebrated each year .. . on the day whereon the star of Isis rises, which, according to the holy books, is regarded as the New Year... but if it fall out that the rising of the star shall, ...
... of the zone refuges, who are now in danger from the waters of the spreading girdle-tide, a danger from which those who had settled in the mountains, those very `dwellers in heaven', were practically exempt. Ancient belief did not originally favour the later notion that the gods lived in vacuous cosmic space. The Ouraniones of the Greeks dwelt on Olympus, the gods of the Indians lived on Mount Meru, Yahweh of the Jews revealed himself on sacred Sinai and was present in other high places. For the early gods and goddesses were not moral abstraction's, but men and women of flesh and blood. Verses 10-12 tell of the further developments of the cataclysm from the ...
245. The Atlantis Secret by Alan F.Alford (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the world's leading authorities on ancient mythology' and promises a truly ground-breaking book', For the first time ever we can get inside Plato's mind .. .', The result is nothing short of a sensation. In this book I present not only a complete decoding of the lost continent of Atlantis, but also a decoding of ancient Greek religion in its entirety'. The book is even described as a kind of initiation process' where the reader is advised to digest one chapter at a sitting and take time for reflection' before moving on. Serious stuff, indeed .. . Alford's general approach to Greek myth is now along plausible and promising lines: The myths ...
246. The Demands of the Saturnian Configuration Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... tribes: When this world was first made, there was neither sun nor moon .. . and everything was dark' [5 ]. The Laws of Manu preach: This world was darkness, unknowable, without form, beyond reason and perception, as if utterly asleep' [6 ]. Turn to Japan, or the ancient Greeks; travel to the cold spaces of Siberia, or cross the ocean to North America, Central America, or South America; cross the Pacific to the archipelagos of Micronesia, Polynesia, Malaysia, Africa; it does not matter where one travels, or whose ancient beliefs one examines, the message is the same. There are simply ...
247. The Cataclusm (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... Ch. 18 | Conclusion | Notes | Bibliography | Index | The Cataclusm It is told in Plato's Atlantis myth how, when all seemed already lost, Palaeo-Athens stemmed the advance of the Atlantean armies, and achieved a decisive victory over them (24e, 25c). It is, I believe, significant that, in spite of the Greek flair for such matters, no details of the strategy employed are given. It would have been interesting to know also what steps were taken by the Athenians to secure their victory, and how the commanders of the Atlantean armies or, if the defeat had been really crushing, how the Pan Atlantean Council of War at home would have ...
248. Settled Sky and Unsettled Mind [Books] [de Grazia books]
... history been totally obstructed. Therefore Homer must have had some means of knowing the catastrophic events of two generations earlier, even in his childhood. We now can suppose that he did remember terrific destruction and social turmoil, directly or through his elders. Why would these memories not enter into his work directly? Why would he not attach the Greek gods (except Helios, the Sun), to their skybodies? In the first place, he would not dare to or wish to tie the gods explicitly to their bodies. The gods were much more than the bodies, much older than the events in which they acted, and hostile to presumptions (hubris) of humans about ...
249. Astral Kingship [Journals] [Aeon]
... that a star was used as bait". (44) The Primeval Mound, or World Mountain, was the first land to appear from the waters of the Deluge. From all this we may well wonder how it came about that Heliopolis was thought to be the "City of the Sun". The name Heliopolis is actually the Greek rendering of the Egyptian On. On (Un, Eun in the earliest orthography), the most ancient and the most sacred city of Egypt, the City of the Sun'- the Heliopolis of the Greeks- was the principal seat of the solar mythology, although the general name of the sun-god, Re, seems even there ...
250. Herodotus on Thutmoses III and Amenophis III [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . . Thus his victorious progress through Asia continued, until he entered Europe and defeated the Scythians and Thracians; this, I think, was the furthest point the Egyptian army reached, for the memorial columns are to be seen in this part of the country but not beyond. The problem is that Manetho5 has the name Sesostris as the Greek equivalent of the Egyptian name Senwosret. The information contained in the quotation above, from the Histories of Herodotus, is given by Manetho behind the name of Senwosret II (called by him Sesostris) of the 12th dynasty. This pharaoh was great in his times, but in Asia he only reached Sichem.6 Even Syria, but ...
