... been translated as "morning" and "evening" respectively. Not surprisingly, these epithets have been interpreted as a reference to the planet-goddess' appearance as morning and evening-star. [37] If this interpretation is to be admitted, it follows that Sumerian sky watchers had already recognized Venus' phases nearly three thousand years before Parmenides, the Greek astronomer traditionally credited with this discovery. Religious literature celebrating Inanna becomes common during the reign of Sargon (c . 2300 BCE). As Szarzynska points out, however, it is probable that this literature reflects even more ancient ideas, perhaps including those from "archaic Sumerian tradition." [38] An early Neo-Sumerian text celebrating the ...
342. Alexander. Part 2 Ch.3 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... Callisthenes, who accompanied Alexander on many marches and liked to boast that Alexander was famous not for what he did but for what Callisthenes wrote about him. Ptolemaeus and Aristobulus and other contemporaries of Alexander-their records are not extant-as well as Cleitarchus, a resident of Alexandria, who collected material from eyewitnesses of Alexander's exploits, served as sources for the Greek and Roman authors of following centuries who wrote about Alexander in Egypt.[3 ] Egyptian sources are supposedly silent on Alexander's visit to the oracle of Amon in the desert. But Alexander was not one of Egypt's regular visitors, and the oracle of Amon was the chief sanctuary for the people of Egypt in the fourth century; therefore ...
... the Romans regarded the Druids as their arch-enemies and massacred them. They are given the highest praise as philosophers and seers, a caste which searched into sublime subjects and taught the immortality of the soul. If Mela be right they must have been acquainted with world geography, astronomy, and astrology, while Dion, the most eminent of the Greek philosophers at the time of the Roman Empire, says plainly that they were the real rulers of Britain and Gaul. A Bardic poem terms them, "Druids of the splendid race, wearers of the gold chains." There was certainly profundity in their saying, Nid dim ond Diew: nid Diew ond Dim, "God cannot ...
344. The Hyksos (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... more effort than others in the investigation of the remnants of the so-called Hyksos dynasties in Egypt.5 However, he found no followers. Already in the days of Manetho the land of their origin was not known with certainty; but this he did know: "Some say that they were Arabians."6 Manetho, who wrote in Greek, explained their being named Hyksos: Their race bore the generic name of Hycsos [Hyksos), which means "king-shepherds". For Hyc in the sacred language denotes "king", and sos in the common dialect means "shepherd" or "shepherds"; the combined words form "Hyksos".7 . As already ...
345. Aeon Volume V, Number 2: Contents [Journals] [Aeon]
... the various and contradictory characteristics of the mother deity by different theories, often themselves as contradictory as the deity's attested nature. Cochrane, on the other hand, demonstrates how these antithetical descriptions of the goddess can be explained by a single theory when the deity is viewed as a comet-like body and set against the Saturn thesis. PAGE 43 Ancient Greeks in America- by Alban Wall A short excursion into the writings of Plutarch leading to the conclusion that the ancient Greeks not only traveled to the American continent, but also made contact with its natives. PAGE 63 Lucid Dreaming and Visualization Techniques in The Sacred Tales of Aelius Aristides- by David Walter Leinweber The Greek dream temples of Asklepios ...
346. The Catastrophic Substructure of the Samson & Delilah Myth [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ' The hair of David's son Absalom, when shorn, was said to have weighed two hundred shekels. These thoughts lead us to consider the celestial and catastrophic elements of the Samson and Delilah story in the Bible. Samson is one of the mighty heroes called Judges' in the Pentateuch who accomplished feats of strength comparable to Odysseus in the Greek stories by Homer. After the usual feat of slaying a lion at the vineyards of Timnah (2 ), Samson sets fire to the Philistine crops by catching three hundred foxes and putting a torch between them after pairing the foxes off and tying up their tails (3 ). Next Samson slays one thousand men with the jawbone of ...
347. The Calendar [Journals] [Aeon]
... this juncture, it seems appropriate to place on record the credibility of this Sothic Period. I can find no better summary [9 ] than that used by Eva Danelius: "The scheme [i .e ., Sothic dating] commonly applied is that of a calendar tied to the fixed star called Spdt in Egyptian, Sothis in Greek, and Sirius by the Romans- the English Dog Star. ' The star becomes visible in Egypt about the time when the Nile begins to rise...the most important event for a country the productivity of whose fields depended on the annual Nile Flood. After having tied the calendar to a fixed star, it became possible ...
348. Velikovsky, Glasgow and Heinsohn Combined [Journals] [SIS Review]
... known to us from the classical authors? Do the two histories match? My recently published Ramessides, Medes and Persians examines the lives and careers of the last two Hittite emperors, Hattusilis III and Tudkhaliash IV and demonstrates that they match perfectly the lives and careers of the last two Lydian kings, Alyattes and Croesus. Hattusilis and Alyattes (Greek Aluattes) even have the same name. Thus Hattusili' is composed of two elements Hattus-ili'. If this is reversed we have Ili-hattus and (cuneiform vowels being conjectural) the word can be rendered Ali-hattus. Before moving on, it should be remembered that the pharaohs of the 19th Dynasty, who sought to restore Egypt's fortunes in ...
349. The Atlantis Secret [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... a forerunner of the modern Big Bang- had been witnessed by no man, and yet it became the corner stone of the Sumerian and Egyptian civilisations. The Myth of All Myths: In Sumer and Egypt, the Exploded Planet myth was encoded in the tales of gods and peoples coming down from the sky. Millennia later, the ancient Greeks adopted similar ideas. In the myths and cults of the Olympian gods, in the mystery schools, in the cosmogonies of Thales, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Anaxagoras, Empedocles and Philolaos, in the "soul religion" of Orpheus, Pythagoras, Parmenides, Socrates and Plato, in all of these places, the Exploded Planet cosmogony is ...
350. Magi, The Quest for a Secret Tradition by Adrian Gilbert [Journals] [SIS Review]
... tried to find this monastery, as did Gilbert who went twice to Mesopotamia. Another line of inquiry was Hermes Trismegistus, whose writings, the Hermetica, are supposed to be the repository of much ancient or esoteric knowledge. Adrian Gilbert investigated this and has recently arranged for publication of a reprint [2 ]. Most extant versions are in Greek and associated with the works of Plato. Some commentators believe that the corpus contains essentially Greek thought. Gilbert, however, believes that it is Egyptian and much older and that this knowledge was later incorporated into Gnostic and other early Christian teachings, subsequently dubbed heretical'. Gilbert was fascinated by the Wilton Diptych, a painting commissioned by ...
