302. Janus: Corrigenda et Addenda [Journals] [Aeon]
... as Saturn despite the statements of Lydus- but not because he considered the source as a late one. "The confusion of Ianus [the same as Janus] with Kronos," he tells us, "no doubt presupposes the usual blunder Kronos = Chronos, which from the fifth century B.C . onwards queered the course of Greek theology." (7 ) Why did Cook bring this point up? Because he could not avoid the veneration of Janus as a god of time, or time personified, (8 ) which, through the rules of comparative mythology, would equate the Italic deity with the Greek Chronos. But, in the first place, according ...
303. Heinsohn's Ancient "History" [Journals] [Aeon]
... whom derives the term Achaemenid. [36] As is evident from this genealogy, there is not the slightest trace of Mardian blood in the immediate ancestry of Cyrus the Great. The sole support for Heinsohn's idiosyncratic position that Cyrus stemmed from the Mardian clan consists of a statement from Nicholas of Damascus, ostensibly quoting Ctesias, the latter a Greek doctor who served at the court of Artaxerxes II (c . 414-397 BC). Nicholas states that Atradates the Mardian was the father of Cyrus. [37] Is there any reason, then, to take Ctesias as a reliable witness for the specifics of Persian history? On the contrary, he is known to be a most ...
304. The Mythical History of the Comet Venus (Part I) [Journals] [Aeon]
... and poets, giving their gods increasingly human form, allowed the central eye to take its place in the center of the god's forehead as a "third eye" (cf., the frequently-depicted Hindu image), giving rise thereby to a "three-eyed god."(17) By processes of this sort the originally one-eyed Cyplops of Greek myth came to be depicted artistically as possessing two normal eyes plus a central third eye, reminiscent of the eye shining on Shiva's brow noted above.(18) In other cases the eye may be located on the breast, as in the case of the Hindu demon Kabandha, slain by the hero Rama, and the headless man ...
305. The Descent Into Barbarism (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... and giants, trolls and oreads, gnomes and goblins, fairies who witched people, and ogres who ate them.65 The lowland dwellers who survived the cataclysm took refuge among the inhabitants of the highlands. Sometimes even considerable numbers, whole tribes, may have reached the safe heights. The Atlantis myth contains only indirect references, but in Greek traditional lore we find some significant passages. There is, for instance, that splendid myth mentioned, and thus preserved, by Apollonius Rhodius, the chief custodian of the great Alexandrian Library in the third century BC, in his Argonautica, where he tells of a time when there were `not as yet all the stars that wheel ...
306. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Why did human sacrifice end in Egypt and Mesopotamia at that time? It signifies something. The final catastrophe in Mesopotamia made way for the Akkadians of Sargon the Great - the real Assyrian Empire, Ziggurats, Pyramids, Megaliths. These are celebrations of the removal of the cosmic danger, not tombs. Then there is the Age of the Greek Heroes, at the same time as the conquest of Canaan to the period of the Judges. Disputes were decided by single combat. If we push the Greek Age of Heroes back to 900 BC it makes no sense. The archaeology etc. points to the 8th-7th centuries BC. Bob Porter asked about the Greek list and genealogy for ...
307. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 1993 SIS lecture (see C&CW 1993:2 , p. 4), reminding us of how stratigraphic evidence in Mesopotamia indicates that there were four great cultures before the Hellenistic period. However, due to pen and paper' dating systems, these were assigned to much earlier periods, leaving the four great periods attested to by Greek history without any apparent physical evidence. In this lecture he proposed to show how, if the four stratigraphic cultures were correctly assigned, then the Mittani and Medes would prove to be the same people and the great kings Aziru the Martu and Cyrus the Mardian one and the same person. Both kings rose to power at the end of ...
308. Sins Of The Father [Journals] [Aeon]
... refer to themselves as the rulers of the Hurrian land. [25] Yet if Mitanni is to be identified with the Median empire of c. 600 BC, it must be expected that a Hurrian element will figure prominently in the Median population and culture. Likewise, one must expect that the neighboring cultures that described the Medes- the Greeks, Persians, Babylonians, Assyrians, and Hebrews- would mention Hurrian practices, gods, or names. Yet a Hurrian element is conspicuous by its absence in ancient descriptions of the Median empire. Having now exposed the thoroughly baseless nature of the arguments advanced by Ginenthal and Sweeney, the reader is doubtless curious as to whether Heinsohn's musings ...
309. The Demands of the Saturnian Configuration Theory [Journals] [Aeon]
... world was first made, there was neither sun nor moon...and everything was dark." [3 ] As the Laws of Manu preach: "This world was darkness, unknowable, without form, beyond reason and perception, as if utterly asleep." [4 ] Turn to Japan, or check among the ancient Greeks; travel to the cold spaces of Siberia, or cross the ocean to North America- Central America, if you wish- South America; or cross the Pacific to the archipelagos of Micronesia, Polynesia- Malaya- Africa; it does not matter where one travels to, it does not matter whose ancient beliefs one examines, the ...
310. EARLY GLASSMAKING AND CHRONOLOGICAL PUZZLES [Journals] [Aeon]
... they are produced in the same way as before the long break and artistically they seem to evolve out of designs of the 14th century BCE. In a way, one could even conceive of the Amarna designs as having evolved from the younger specimens, which look a bit less refined than Akhnaton's marvellous pieces and, also, exhibit a stronger Greek influence. The gap of many centuries opening up after the New Kingdom presents the third major enigma in the history of Egyptian glass and is lamented over time and again by various scholars.(31) Thus, the glass researchers have to struggle with (i ) evidence for glass from the 3rd and early 2nd millennium which they try ...
