... Comet Venus." Both researchers fell victim to what this author calls the "bibbu boo-boo." There is considerable reason to suspect that the majority of our planet's namesakes were comets- probably of the Encke family. For instance, we can read from W.M . O'Neil (1975): "The word planet comes from the Greek planetes, the wanderers; these seven celestial bodies moved among the fixed stars. The Babylonians had a more picturesque name bibbu, the wild sheep, as these bodies broke through the fixed formation in which the tame sheep crossed the sky." To call into question Greek continuity of planet identity I refer to Leonardo Taran's work on the ...
442. A Catastrophic Calendar [Books] [de Grazia books]
... its arbitrariness."[4 ] I, too have this final plea in mind. In each planetary age there were celestially provoked disasters of water, fire earth and air. Each age except Pangea developed cultures of its own, which it passed over partly to the next age. The gods were different while being the same. The Greek "Aphrodite" had traits of an original moon goddess and had many alternative names in many cultures; furthermore she later become confused with Venus, the goddess, and also the planet Venus, which had its scores of god-names too [5 ]. Jupiter was himself but partly Saturn too; the Chinese "Saturn" was a thunderer ...
443. The Worship Of Mars, Part 2 Mars Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... to find guiding hints to help us obtain some data about the body which periodically approached the earth? It would probably be the Latin people, at that time very young, just appearing on the historical scene and not loaded down with science, who would give the prodigy a prominent place in their mythology. Roman mythology was appropriated from the Greeks. Only one god of Roman mythology plays a role not comparable to that attributed to him on the Greek Olympus. It is the god Mars, whose counterpart is Ares of the Greeks.1 Mars, the lord of war, was second to Jupiter-Zeus. He personified the planet Mars, to him was dedicated the month of March ...
444. The Hamon-Gabriel-Mars Connection (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... in the original Hebrew. The case of Nergal's planetary identity is even worse. In his first volume Forrest confessed: " . . . I have not so far found any reference which links the god Nergal with the planet Mars. This may be because I haven't looked hard enough, or it may be because the Babylonians, unlike the Greeks and Romans, did not link their god of war to the planet Mars."(17) Apart from this clear proof that Forrest is prone to jump to conclusions. such admission of incompetence, despite its honesty, can hardly pass for scholarship. In the "Notes" section of the same volume, Forrest then had to ...
445. Sequence and events [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... that almost all history fails this standard. As Chris Marx is found of pointing out almost all copies of ancient documents are modern historical discoveries of manuscripts that aren't older than 15th century if that. It is an extremely rare find for any thing to be older than 9th century. If originality to documents were the standard, almost only the greek manuscripts of the Bible would pass. This use of a double standard is unacceptable. Josephus which is one of our few ancient original manuscripts quoted Manetho verbatim of the existence of Moses: Josephus against Apion: Book 1; end of chapter 26 ". .. and his name was Osarsiph from Osiris, who was the god of ...
446. The Dynasty Of Priests. Part 2 Ch.1 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... ; "you even put children to death" are the words Herodotus puts in the mouth of Croesus, the Lydian, who accompanied Cambyses as a prisoner (Herodotus, III, 36). After a stay in Memphis, Cambyses undertook a campaign towards the south, moving along the Nile. Returning to Memphis, he "dismissed the Greeks, allowing them to sail home" (Herodotus, III, 25). In the story of Herodotus and in the laments of Ourmai we find similar complaints of sacrileges against gods and the dead, of sepulchres opened, and bodies of the dead thrown out, of cruelties committed against the population, even the children; both the ...

... city and carried the people of Jerusalem away into Babylonian captivity. Detailed material on this war is found in the last chapters of the Books of Kings and of Chronicles, and especially in the Book of Jeremiah. Nebuchadnezzar, whose name is mentioned in the Scriptures more than ninety times, was the mighty king of a great empire. Several Greek authors also wrote about him. He erected grandiose buildings, some of which have been unearthed. His prayers and building inscriptions are read by archaeologists, and "If in the field of Irak [Iraq] you find a brick with cuneiform signs, most probably it contains the name of Nebuchadnezzar."2 The pharaoh, his adversary ...
448. Introduction (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... in books and articles for more than a century. No lesser upheaval takes place in Egyptian historiography. The so-called Nineteenth Dynasty, whose main representatives are Seti the Great, Ramses II, and Merneptah, reveals itself as identical with the so-called Twenty-sixth Dynasty of Psammetich, Necho, and Apries, whose true activities are known to us partly from Greek historians and partly from the scriptural texts (Books of Kings, Chronicles, and Jeremiah) but not from the extant Egyptian texts. This identification entails the removal of Seti the Great, Ramses II, and Merneptah from the time in the fourteenth and thirteenth centuries usually ascribed to them to the seventh and sixth centuries. Actually, the ...

They have no written evidence of any antiquity relating to themselves or other nations." -JUSTYN MARTYR. PLATO represents the islands of Atlantis as highly civilized, possessing arts and crafts, ships and merchandise, and inhabited by the aboriginal race of men descended from the god Poseidon. In course of time corruption and tyranny led to the destruction of this godlike race. A great war ensued which lasted many years, the island being invaded by immense armies of ...
450. Plato. Ch.2 To Know And Not To Know (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... .turned backward...with the scourge of his wrath in affliction repaying mortals. Stoic philosophers taught the recurrent conflagrations of the world; the Pythagoreans were immersed in speculations of cosmic order and disorder; and before them, in Homer's Iliad, there are numerous scenes of theomachy, or .war among the planetary gods. The entire Greek pantheon is but a pandemonium on Olympus; and Mount Olympus, in later times located in several vicinities of Greek lands, was originally but the vault of the sky. It is therefore not surprising to find in Plato a number of passages dealing with the subject of global or even cosmic upheavals. I have quoted from a number of ...
