... which we Jews had with the Romans, and knew myself its particular actions, and what conclusion it had, I was forced to give the history of it, because I saw that others perverted the truth of those actions in their writings. 2. Now I have undertaken the present work, as thinking it will appear to all the Greeks (2 ) worthy of their study; for it will contain all our antiquities, and the constitution of our government, as interpreted out of the Hebrew Scriptures. And indeed I did formerly intend, when I wrote of the war, (3 ) to explain who the Jews originally were, - what fortunes they had been subject ...
252. A Return to the Two Sargons and Their Successors [Journals] [Aeon]
... ..." And, unfortunately for Heinsohn, the passage in question is the only one where a reference to a person named Ninus is encountered. [49] Even so, I'll grant Heinsohn this much. As Peter James pointed out: "Whether Herodotus thought that the Lydian Ninus was the same as the Ninus mentioned by other Greeks as being the founder of Nineveh is not clear. Some classical scholars think this is the case." [50] What, however, of the -750 date that Heinsohn allots to this Ninos? He informs us that: "The Greek claim that mankind's first superpower- Assyria of Ninos- did not emerge before -750 was not ...
253. Chapter20_21
... From this double parentage he is called Maitravaruni, and from his being born from a jar he got the name Khumbasambhava." [n3 RV 7.33.I3-14; Brihad-Devata 5.152ff.; Sorenson, p. 18B. Let us mention that the Egyptian Canopus is himself a jar-god; actually, he is represented by a Greek hydria (see RE s.v . Kanopos).] [Khumba is the name of Aquarius in India and Indonesia, allegedly ate Greek influence] On the very same time and occasion there also was "born" as son of Mitra and Varuna — only the seed fell on the ground not in the jar — the Rishi ...
254. In Defence of the Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Chronology ? Not quite. Firstly: The identifications are made by Velikovsky on the basis of what he would claim are parallel events in the reigns of the kings in question". (Day). Claim? Under Part 3 I summarise Velikovsky's evidence for the identification of the Sea Peoples of Ramses III's time with the Persian Empire and its Greek mercenaries of the 4th century. Also Day's argument against this and the answer to it. The reader is left to draw his own conclusions. Similarly, Velikovsky proposes: the 2nd campaigns of Ramses II towards the Euphrates is recorded in his annals and in the Pentaur-poem, and has parallel in Jeremiah 46 (1 ). His first ...
255. Venus in Ancient Myth and Language: Part Two [Journals] [Aeon]
... of the goddess as a personification of the planet Venus. No respectable classical scholar, to the best of my knowledge, has seriously entertained the possibility that the goddess might have been planetary in nature. We are confident, however, that we are on solid ground here, the vast majority of the world's great goddesses- including Venus' Greek counterpart Aphrodite- being identified with the planet Venus. (2 ) On the other hand our theory has much to offer in support of the leading theory of Venus' origins, that offered by Robert Schilling in La Religion Romaine de Venus. Venus and venus Schilling's basic argument is that the name of the Latin goddess derives from an ...
256. Sothis and the Morning Star in the Pyramid Texts [Journals] [Aeon]
... dealing with the various celestial bodies and, as such, they constitute a vital link in any theory attempting to make sense of archaeoastronomical traditions. It would appear to be the unanimous opinion of Egyptologists that Sirius is mentioned repeatedly in the Pyramid Texts. Indeed, it has been said that "the identification of the goddess Spd.t , Greek Sothis, with the star we call Sirius, is the only one in these texts which is unquestioned." (4 ) Neugebauer and Parker offer a similar opinion: "That spd and spdt Sothis' are both identified with Sirius is one of the rare certainties in Egyptian astronomy." (5 ) Inasmuch as we will have ...
257. Indra [Journals] [Kronos]
... Saturnian interpretation. This, however, can be accounted for by the fact that Jupiter is known to have "stolen" many of the attributes which originally belonged to Saturn(27) - a state of affairs with which Talbott himself is quite familiar.(28) In actuality, a comparison between the mythological histories of Indra and the Greek Zeus easily resolves the identity of the former without leaving any room for doubt. That Indra was the Hindu Jupiter I have already indicated in print.(29) Earlier, Harold Tresman and Brendan O'Gheoghan had also presented Indra as the prototype of Jupiter.(30) The evidence which follows was actually presented to Velikovsky by the present ...
258. Citing the Work of Others: A Critique [Journals] [Aeon]
... identified by Velikovsky as the Queen (of) Sheba- still debated. In recent issues of Chronology & Catastrophism Review and Chronology & Catastrophism Workshop, Emmet Sweeney has taken John Bimson to task in a series of trenchant defensive article/responses regarding Velikovsky's identification of Queen Hatshepsut as the Queen (of) Sheba together with Velikovsky's rejection of a Greek Dark Age. [17] Despite a variety of cogent arguments, Sweeney conveys the impression that only he and Bimson have been involved in the aforementioned identification/chronological disputations. Sweeney deplores the fact that Velikovsky, he, and Heinsohn have "been ignored by John Bimson, as well as David Rohl and Peter James." Yet ...
... recognized that they were Druids. These wise men closely watched that wonderful star Sirius, regulated the Sothic cycle by it, arid accorded to the "Watcher" in the heavens the name of the Dog Star (Canis Major) and honoured it further by calling it "the Star of Hermes". As such it appears in Egyptian, Greek, and Bardic mythology, the "Scorcher", watched always with misgiving, for it was regarded as the harbinger of pestilence, drought, and wars. It rose with the dawn at the time of the Flood. The institution of the calendar points to the origin of astronomy as from the North. Miss Plunket contended that a ...
260. The Curse. Part 2 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... in a manner not unknown in Egypt, where kings concealed their tombs. For attacking Thebes in his effort to regain the throne, Polynices, by decree of the regent of the kingdom, is denied burial, while Eteocles, his rival, is given a sumptuous burial with all rites. This alone would be natural in any setting, Greek or otherwise,1 but Antigone's long monologue in which she bewails her dead brother's doom - not his death - is without parallel in the entire Greek literature. This preoccupation with burial and the supreme importance attached to the last resting place are Egyptian in character, not Greek. Antigone's "caverned pit-tomb in the rock" is not Greek ...
