... for armor, were able to subdue nations that employed bronze. The Assyrian conquest of Phoenician cities, the Ethiopian conquest of Egypt, the long contest between Assyria and Ethiopia over Egypt are examples. With the beginning of the Nineteenth, i.e ., the Twenty-sixth, Dynasty, the Ethiopian source of iron in Egypt was eliminated. Greeks of Daphnae, and later of Naucratis in Egypt, reduced iron ore to ingots, from which they manufactured tools. Iron tools were confined mainly to Greek settlements, a situation very characteristic of Egypt (29). Not even from later times- of the Persians, Ptolemies, or Romans- has there remained so much iron in Egypt as ...
392. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Chin (a sort of Chinese Herodotus) mentions 17 rulers of Hessia without reign-lengths; others speak of 5. The period is very confused. Later scholars add more details but may be less reliable. Conclusion: the flood was 1900-1800BC or later. Why was there no evidence for the pre-Shang and the pre-flood history? Lasken thinks that the Greeks, Mesopotamians and Chinese took the traditions of the flood and the preflood civilisation and transferred them to their own countries. Lasken's suggestion is that at Harappa in the Indus Valley there was a flood, which was the source for all these traditions. In Mohanjo-Daro there is evidence of a pre-flood civilisation which had metallurgy, writing and a sewage ...
393. The Cosmic Winter by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a millennium of supposedly false (or, more subtly, repeated) events from Egyptian history. Many would regard this as his most important insight. The results were enthusiastically adopted in Serpent', often over-enthusiastically (see Newgrosh [8 ]) . In Winter' they are quietly dropped. In the earlier book, for example, the Greek Dark Age was the artificial product of a catastrophic chronological glitch, and thus evidence of cosmic disaster. In Mark II, on the contrary, the Dark Age is real... and, therefore, evidence of cosmic disaster. There is no explanation or apologia for this volte-face. In Serpent' the evidence par excellence for proto-Encke ...
394. Archetypes Showing The Presence of Anomalous Electromagnetic Activity [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , the comet is devastating a rural area and in the second panel, it has changed aspect and is burning down a town - but whether one comet or two, such objects are not conventional. They exhibit proper and apparently local movement and show a tail obviously not dependent upon the Sun. Fig. 2 [4 ] shows a Greek burial krater. Note in the upper portion of the krater two relatively large globes that appear to conjoin. (Later, some of the other figures depicted will be discussed.) Note inside the globes how similar their structure appears to the interior of the comets in fig. 1, suggesting that these globes are masses of plasma that ...
395. SERVANT OF THE SUN GOD [Journals] [Aeon]
... mythical character I have called the "warrior-hero" one must deal with a certain paradox: many of the encountered personalities will appear to have little or no connection with either the concept of a "warrior" or a "hero." The problem of definition will be easy when one takes on such well-known figures as the Babylonian Nergal, Greek Ares and Latin Mars, figures readily identified as both warriors and heroes. But pressing the investigation further will inevitably move the researcher into a much larger circle of myth and a wider range of personalities: from the music maker Apollo to the healer Aesculapius; from the visionary Orpheus and the magician Merlin to the North American trickster Coyote, ...
396. Early History of the Israelite People by TL Thompson [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... similarities in the deities of Yahweh and Ahura Mazda but it doesn't occur to him they may derive from the same physical manifestation in the heavens. We should note however that in the mid first millennium BC there developed around the world various attempts to rationalise deity. This included Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and the several isms' of the Greek and Persian cultural milieu and therefore it shouldn't be surprising if the same thing occurred in Israel. Thompson, however, reaches his conclusions as a direct result of Iron Age archaeology and what it seems to reveal. It does not occur to him that Iron Age strata should be redated along the lines of Peter James in Centuries of Darkness ...
397. Forum: Did Jews Fabricate Their History Between 500 and 1099AD? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... AD (see Babylonian Talmud, Abodah Zarah) [44]. 1. The'Era of Contracts' dates from the year 380 before the destruction of the second temple, i.e . 312/11BC, when, at the battle of Gaza, Seleucus Nicator gained domination over Palestine. It is identical to the Seleucid Era of the Greeks. This Era is mentioned in the book of Maccabees 1:10 and was used by Jewish notaries and scribes for dating all civil contracts. 2. The Era of the Destruction' (of the Second Temple) dates from 68AD. After Titus had destroyed the Second Temple in Jerusalem, some Jews started to commemorate this traumatic event ...
398. Quotes [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... (1803-1873) Kids' Quotes:Actual quiz answers Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He died before he reached Canada. Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines. The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a female moth. Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose ...
399. Shamir [Journals] [SIS Review]
... as an exploding bolide or loud clap of thunderous noise. This is also compatible with the idea of to destroy and the act of destruction (by the agency of blast). The term shafts (as in arrows and darts) [7 ] almost always occurs in the plural and they were regarded as the specific weapons of deity in Greek religion. Shaft has the meaning in Greek of lightning (bolt) and this is similar in meaning to Excalibur [8 ], the weapon of Arthur. Shafts and thunderbolts (or meteors) have the ability to smash and to destroy and this is a translation of Apollo which suggests the name is simply an appellative or feature of ...
400. Alexander At The Oracle [Journals] [Kronos]
... 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 ...
