... this fact that such beings were at some time most impressive features of the sky and, when they were not, were scalding memories, which had so dominated the human setting that no successor, no matter how prominently active could match what its "ancestor" or "father" had achieved. Some cultures, such as the Roman, Greek, and Hindu, did not conceal the succession of fathers, and assigned family roles to junior actors, while the Hebrews over a period of time accepted the Mosaic rationalization which fitted several great gods into a unity. This did not come without ideological and political strug- gles of great intensity and long duration, some of which are ...
292. Paleo-Calcinology: Destruction by Fire in Pre-historic and Ancient Times Part I [Journals] [Kronos]
... the body of techniques that need to be assembled and developed. The "Burnt City" of Troy In some exciting passages, which have unquestionably been among the most widely read of all archaeological writing, Schliemann describes how, in May of 1873, he uncovered "The Treasure of Priam," King of Troy during the war between the Greeks and Trojans. (Neither his identification of the Treasure as Priam's nor of the City as the Troy of Homer is at issue here, and therefore these problems are passed over lightly.) Schliemann reports (4 ) that the "Trojans of whom Homer sings" occupied a stratum of debris "from 7 to 10 meters, or ...
293. On Comets, Comet-Like Luminous Apparitions and Meteors (Concluded) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Orientalis XXV, No. 3/4 , May-July, 1968, p. 260. The author of it was Th. P. van Baaren. - LMG 3. Gods and Stars Allam(32) cites information from Aelian according to which the Egyptian goddess Hathor - in her manifestation as Mistress of Cusae - was considered by the Greeks of Hellenistic times to be the equivalent of Aphrodite Urania, a goddess with an epithet not claimed by any other Greek goddess.(33) But Aphrodite Urania was also the name of a "meteor" goddess of Aphaca at Byblos in Syria, (34) a goddess identical to the Syrian Attart (Astart-Astarte), who was ...
294. The Ark in Action [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the Israelite bells would ring. Cassuto says that they would sound so that the priest would not enter the sanctuary unannounced and irreverently. And in departure the priest would prostrate himself and the bells' sound be a blessing [12]. But perhaps Moses grafted electronics upon the original design. Thus, at Dodona, seat of the oldest Greek oracle, dedicated to Zeus Naios, there was "an oak grove hung with vessels of brass, by which the god's voice was thought to be made audible."[13] This Zeus Naios was related to Zeus Ammon of Libya and Amon of Egypt, who is not unrelated to Yahweh. Priestley describes eighteenth century electrical experiments ...
295. CLASHING MAGNETIC FIELDS [Journals] [Aeon]
... could never "cause harm" by decreasing the distance. (We speculate that this could be the real explanation for why Venus-Ashtarte-Ishtar has been so often assigned a positive role of "good gal" in ancient history, and in ancient Sumerian, Chaldean, Babylonian and Assyrian lore. As a deity, Venus (Athene) was credited in Greek mythology for being upset by Mars' continual harassment of Earth.) The maximum relative velocity with which Mars approached Earth was 27,000 mph. The angle between their two celestial paths approximated 19 degrees so the time over which electrical "fireworks effects" were observable would have been 4 to 8 hours. (Note that for this ...
... to them by their forefathers, and they thereupon contended one with another, while those of Jerusalem said that their temple was holy, and resolved to send their sacrifices thither; but the Samaritans were resolved that they should be sent to Mount Gerizzim. CHAPTER 2. HOW PTOLEMY PHILADELPHUS PROCURED THE LAWS OF THE JEWS TO BE TRANSLATED INTO THE GREEK TONGUE AND SET MANY CAPTIVES FREE, AND DEDICATED MANY GIFTS TO GOD. 1. WHEN Alexander had reigned twelve years, and after him Ptolemy Soter forty years, Philadelphus then took the kingdom of Egypt, and held it forty years within one. He procured the law to be interpreted, and set free those that were come from ...
297. Solomon and Sheba [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . the sarcophagus seemed to be yet another proof .. . of the pretensions Senenmut dares to exhibit, skirting dangerously close to prerogatives considered to be exclusively royal'. Winlock [79] noted it was significantly designed as almost a replica of royal sarcophagi of the time', one of the painted scenes features a procession of Aegean (Greek) tribute bearers, the first known representation of these people [80], - the only coherent scene on the north wall of the axial corridor portrays three registers of men dragging sledges that provide shelter for statues of Senenmut, who faces the procession of statues. Senenmut had presented to Hatshepsut an extraordinary request' for many statues of ...
298. On Dating the Trojan War [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... years [7 ]. Thus if he used the former figure he must have counted 22 or 23 generations; if the latter, 27. But in either case his estimates for the length of a generation seen excessive, although it is difficult to say by how much. If instead we were to estimate 20 years and in accordance with Greek tradition allowed two generations between Heracles and the Trojan War, we would obtain a lower limit of either 850 or 950 BC; with an estimate of 30 years, an upper limit of either 1050 or 1200 BC. At first sight the latter figure may appear to lend substance to the received date of the Trojan War, but it ...
299. Egyptian Chronology - The Multiple Name Factor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... might have been prevalent was during Ptolemaic times, when the rulers of Egypt were not actually Egyptian. None of the Ptolemaic rulers, save Cleopatra VII, is thought to have known the Egyptian language, so their Egyptian names would probably have been of secondary importance to them. The Egyptian names of the various Ptolemies, whose real names were Greek or Macedonian, would have been ceremonial and symbolic names and not the personal, everyday names or identifiers of the ruler being praised, deified, or otherwise denoted in an Egyptian relief or inscription. The Ptolemies As discussed by Herodotus, the Egyptian pantheon varied from nome to nome. Similarly, Bevan states that during Ptolemaic times, Egyptian ...
300. The Comet Of Typhon, Part 1 Venus Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... and strong east wind, witnessed the upheaval of the day of the Passage. These parallel circumstances lead to a conclusion that will sound somewhat strange. Typhon (Typheus) lies on the bottom of the sea where the spell-bound Israelites saw the upheaval of nature: darkness, hurricane, mountains of water, fire and smoke, recorded in the Greek legend as the circumstances in which the battle of Zeus with the dragon Typhon was fought. In the same pit of the sea lie the pharaoh and his hosts.(3 ) Up to now I have identified Rahab-Typhon as a comet. But if Typhon lies on the bottom of the sea, is he not the pharaoh? This ...
