... , and scriptural world-creeds, like Buddhism. So crucial has the intellectual aspect of this Iron Age revolution seemed to some philosophers of history that they have followed German existentialist Karl Jaspers in referring to it as the Axial Age- a relatively brief period that separates the essentially archaic mentality of the Sumerians and Egyptians from the essentially modern mentality of the Greeks and West Europeans. In addition to his enviable range, Jaynes exhibits an admirable willingness to speculate on matters from which most archeologists and historians have shied away. Yet here too I find myself struck quite as much by the speculations he avoids as by those in which he engages. Although at one point he ventures as far back in ...
322. The Terrible Ones, Part 2 Mars Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... to Nergal:2 "Great giants, raging demons, with awesome members, run at his right and at his left." These "raging demons" are pictured also in the Nerga l-Eriskigal poem;3 they bring pestilence and cause earthquakes. It appears that the mythological figures of the Furies of the Latins or the Erinyes of the Greeks, with serpents winding about their heads and arms, flashing flame with their eyes, swinging torches around like wheels, grew out of the same prodigies which moved rapidly, changed their forms hourly, and acted violently. The Erinyes travelled in a group, like huntresses or like a "pack of savage hounds,"4 but sometimes ...
323. "This Was Oedipus". Part 2 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... days of struggle with death, on November 8 (21), 1910, and was interred at Yasnaya Polyana without Christian rites. When Tolstoi was on his deathbed the Holy Synod of Russia decreed that no prayer should be said for the sick octogenarian; and when he died no requiem mass was permitted to be held for him in any Greek Orthodox church in Russia.3 In the present century, too, Anna was the one of Sigmund Freud's children who throughout his life was closest to him. She accompanied her father and mother into exile when Vienna was overrun by the Nazis. For many years Freud was sick, undergoing sixteen operations for cancer of the jaw; heroically ...
324. A Conversation with Barry Fell [Journals] [Horus]
... at the matter more closely after perceiving that he [Totten] wasn't convinced and I zeroed in on what - the only epigraphy that he has in all his works as far as I know - that was what I looked at. [Velikovsky] said that the tiles built in the palace for Rameses III carried on the backs of them Greek letters, which he illustrated, and that therefore they could not be older than, whatever it was- 800 or something or other and not 1200 B. C. as had been claimed. 0. K. I looked at them and as soon as I saw these diagrams I said to myself "these are Phoenician!" ...
325. "The Basest Of The Kingdoms". Part 2 Ch.2 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... by the high priest Amenhotep. Both these kings belong to the fifth century; both use the nomen Khaem-Waset. In the papyrus of Wenamon the reference must be to the earlier of these two, who was deposed together with the high priest Amenhotep in the earlier part of the reign of Artaxerxes I. He was most probably Inaros of the Greek sources who rebelled against Artaxerxes I. A hypothesis that Khaem-Waset stands for Cambyses would meet with philological difficulties. The other name found in the Wenamon Papyrus that caused deliberation is that of the shipping magnate with headquarters in Tanis in the Delta. Of him the prince of Byblos said that in Sidon alone fifty ships "are in league with ...
326. The Sea Peoples and the Philistines [Articles]
... flood-tide was only held back at the very gates of Egypt by Ramesses III in 1194 BC, who later settled the defeated invaders in their future home of southern Palestine as vassal-troops. "The tribal alliance of the Philistines was called by Ramesses III "The Peoples of the Sea" and included the Danuna (probably the same as the Homeric Greek adventurers the Danaoi), the Tjekker (Teucrians from Aegina), Shekelesh (from Sicily), Sherden (from Sardinia), Teresh (who may have been Etruscans) and Weshesh from Oaxus in Crete. These tribes are shown on the reliefs of Ramesses III wearing Aegean or proto-Greek-style armour and using Aegean equipment; in particular the ...
327. The Fall of Imperial Egypt [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... sense of pride or self-glorification we detect is that Egypt, alone among the nations, still survives. That, however, was an achievement whose days were numbered. Amenmeses the Usurper According to Herodotus, Egypt survived against the growing might of Persia only a short time after the reign of Apries. The latter waged a disastrous war against the Greeks of Cyrene, and was faced with a rebellion led by one of his generals, a commoner named Amasis. The story goes that the pharaoh sent Amasis (Ahmose) in the hope of winning back his rebellious troops. Instead, however, the rebels won over Amasis, whom they proclaimed king. Apries now sent his vizier to ...
328. Velikovsky and the El-Amarna period [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (Feb 2003) Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky and the El-Amarna period Sjef van Asten Summary A combination of Velikovsky's thesis, the Glasgow Chronology' and the studies of Gunnar Heinsohn indicate that the El-Amarna period can be placed in the 7th century BC. The data from these chronologies are supported by additional arguments from Egyptian and biblical history and from Greek legends and point to about 680BC for the end of the El-Amarna period. Although some fine-tuning is required, the final conclusions do not contradict previous studies on Assyrian history, indicating the end of this period at the end of the 8th century BC. Introduction Conventional history places the time of Amenhotep III, Akhenaten, Smenkhkare, Tutankhamun and ...
329. Making Moonshine with Hard Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... moon revolving a bit irregularly, which a genial mechanician such as Professor Michelson might trace back to an old disaster. The important questions are what the number means and what purpose it serves. In the present case, we are led to believe that this eight-digit number will be shown to (a ) have been used or discovered by a Greek named Meton about 432 B.C ., or (b ) have been known to the ancients at a time when catastrophes are alleged to have involved the moon in changed behaviors. Neither of these is demonstrated, and indeed, Michelson indicates later on that both implications are unnecessary to his story of Meton. Michelson further presumes that ...
330. The Rise of Blood Sacrifice [Journals] [Aeon]
... a god? Why is the king also a priest? And why do his fellow-men suddenly accept priests as their superiors? These questions have, throughout modern scholarly history, been generally considered unanswerable: "What legal or pious fiction or what economic or social pressure conditioned this attitude, we shall probably never know." (20) Ancient Greek philosophers were puzzled about the meaning of slaughtering "in honor of the gods." "Thus," they wrote, "sacrifice in higher cultures is a survival without meaning." (21) Is this really true? After all, our best evidence comes from Mesopotamia's higher Bronze Age culture. It rather looks as if the ...
