... they were thought to have initiated a "dark age" of about 500 years, when civilization was virtually extinguished. Velikovsky, however, presents evidence that Ramses III lived 800 years later; that the events in question took place in the first part of the fourth century before the present era; and that the Peoples of the Sea were Greek mercenaries and the Pereset were Persians.

372. Introduction - Ages in Chaos? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of ancient Egypt which survive, magnificent though some are, give us only a glimpse of what has been. As the eminent Egyptologist, Sir Alan Gardiner, wrote in 1961, What is proudly advertised as Egyptian history is merely a collection of rags and tatters' [1 ]. One surviving account of Egyptian history was written by a Greek, Herodotus, who lived in the fifth century BC [2 ]. Herodotus has been called the father of history' but also the father of lies', because he recorded uncritically what he had been told as he visited various countries. Hence his writings about Egyptian history have never been taken particularly seriously [3 ]. Far ...

... that these assumptions are false. I will not say anything further here about Earth in Upheaval, except to remark that, although its conclusions are now widely accepted among paleontologists, credit is seldom given to Velikovsky for this. As one reads at length in Worlds in Collision, descriptions of catastrophes consisting of combustion or deluge18 are found among the Greeks, Hindus, Persians, Chinese, Incas, Aztecs, and Mayas.19 Still less would you expect the phenomena to be described in very similar terms; thus the reddening of the world and its waters is recorded by Mayas, Egyptians, Israelites, Greeks, Babylonians, Finns and Tartars20 a hail of stones by Israelites, Egyptians ...
374. On the Length of Reigns of the Sumerian Kings [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Therefore those who did not make it were not usually counted as being a son'. A child dying in infancy usually was buried under the foundations or within the house. Evidence of infant burials in cemeteries is rarely documented anywhere in a wide region stretching from Palestine to Norway during a time span which includes the Hittite, Mycenaean, Greek and Germanic eras. Research into the customs of these peoples showed that early in history, up to and including the Mycenaean and Greek era, children were not generally counted as fully fledged citizens. They were often not even named until they had passed their youth rites, equivalent of today's confirmation, or bar-mitzvah, at which time the ...
375. Worlds In Collision And Recent Finds In Archaeology. Ch.17 Supplement (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... one generation after the end of the Middle Kingdom, and the enigmatic hiatus of six hundred years proves not to be real. I expect new evidence from the Minoan scripts and the so called Hittite pictographs. Texts in the Minoan (Linear B) script were found years ago on Crete and in Mycenae and in several other places on the Greek mainland. I believe that when the Minoan writings unearthed in Mycenae are deciphered they will be found to be Greek. I also claim that these texts are of a later date than generally believed. "No Dark Age' of six centuries' duration intervened in Greece between the Mycenaean age and the Ionian age of the seventh century. ...
376. My Kingdom for a Horse ... [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... no doubt, still in the Vatican today. In his 20-volume The Wars of Apion a controversial verse has long caused Egyptologists and theologians to argue about its meaning. The verse attempts to date the time of Joseph's tenure as Vizier of Egypt and that of the Exodus of "the Children of Israel." When Josephus was philosophizing with his Greek colleagues they laughingly told him his people had no antiquity to speak of; he got very angry and exclaimed: But now I shall produce the Egyptians as witnesses to the great antiquity of our nation, I shall now bring Manetho the Egyptian historian's writing to you. And will set down his very words, as if I were to ...
377. Myth, Mandala, and the Collective Unconscious [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. I No. 1 (Spring 1975) Home | Issue Contents Myth, Mandala, and the Collective Unconscious David Griffard In a comparative analysis of Greek with Phoenician, Babylonian, and other Indo-European mythologies, Littleton describes various parallels to a general theme, the kingship-of-heaven. "In each instance a single pattern of events is present: an existing generation of gods was preceded by two (and in some cases three) earlier generations of supernatural beings, each succeeding generation being presided over by a king of heaven' who has usurped (or at least assumed) the power of his predecessor. Moreover there is generally a fourth figure a monster of some ...
378. The Succession of Gods [Books] [de Grazia books]
... '... "spherical shape, in which all the radii from the middle are equally distant from the bounding extremities." So says Taylor in his great commentary on Timaeus. This universe moves in a circular revolution. Taylor concludes that the boundless, the universe before god was composed of thick cloud or mist to early and late Greek philosophers. Fire made it visible and that is why it became the first of the elements. There is a major dilemma in Timaeus, faced by all philosophers and theologians who explain creation. Was God always around but disinclined to do anything about the Chaos? Then finally did he act and make order, i.e ., ...
379. The Stone of Shamir (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... . Cinnabar is the red sulfide of mercury, the only important source of this liquid metal, and which was extensively used as a pigment. One would be inclined to dismiss such arcane disclosure as gobbledegook, as the keys to the allegory are either missing altogether or are fragmentary at best. Much of this medieval literature was based on the Greek alchemists who wrote during the first through seventh centuries, when a transformation was taking place to give the practical arts a more philosophical basis in an attempt to rationalize the inchoate discipline of chemistry.(4 ) But even this early effort was based on the antedated work of more ancient Egyptian and later Creek metallurgists, who were more practical-minded ...

... , though I would add the sense of the "break" in a linear sequence, which is the effect of both the comma and the coma (comet). The "punctuation" of a sentence is analogous to the "punctuation" of history. You can see this in the dual meanings of the word "period" (Greek (_ periodos_), for example. In Greek thought a full circuit or cycle of time is the "period". A period also denotes the completion of a sentence. Similarly, in a sentence, the "break" of the comma is curiously analogous to the function of the archetypal coma/comet, whose most ...
