... accepted history, and it applies infinitely more to the past for many reasons, religion not being the least of them. In this volume, as I have said in effect, it has not been possible to present more than an outline of a subject which strikes at the root of European origins and human vicissitudes. In regard to the Greeks alone, and their Celtic origin in the North, I have held over far more than appears here, and Crete, although one of the great keys to the past, has had to be side-tracked. The same applies to the philosophy and pre-history of the Scandinavian peoples and their sacred city of Asgard with its many repercussions. Almost ...

453. The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... communicated directly with the gods, that in the "First Time" described by the myths the gods arose as great teachers, as examples or models for human behavior. It is only after an overwhelming catastrophe that we see the gods wandering off, like the Aztec Quetzalcoatl, or rising into the sky in a pillar of smoke like the Greek and Latin Hercules, or, like the Egyptian Atum-Ra or the Sumerian An, removing themselves to more distant realms. And this is in no sense an incidental idea. It is really the driving force of the first civilizations. Suddenly, a few thousand years ago, there was an explosion of collective activity, of monument building, ...

455. The Hero's Garment [Journals] [Aeon]
... death of her brother Tammuz. "[ Geshtinanna] cried toward heaven, cried toward earth. (Her) cries covered the horizon completely like a cloth and were spread out like linen." [14] Ishtar, too, "is clothed with fire and bears aloft a crown of awful splendor. [15] Interestingly, the Greek Zeus appeared as an impregnating lightning flash to Semele when she was weaving a cloak. She was set on fire and ultimately gave up the ghost while being impregnated. Here, too, it appears that the underlying visual image is that of a luminous, or illuminated, garment. More importantly it was told that, during his stay ...
456. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... sections: an introduction, Cypro-Phoenician Horizon, Egyptian Third Intermediate Period, Central Mediterranean Chronology, Radiocarbon Dating of the Aegean, Dendrochronological Prospects and Conclusion. Some of the material reiterates that already published in Centuries, some new points are made, and there are some replies to critics. One item from the introductory section is the find of a Greek Late Proto-Geometric krater in a sealed archaeological context from Tel Hadar in Israel. The Israeli context is dated to the 11th century BC but the Greek pot is dated more than a century later, i.e . on conventional dates it was destroyed at least 100 years before it was made! The Cypro-Phoenician section raises again the irreconcilable and ...
457. Collective Amnesia and the Catastrophic Basis of Soap Opera (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... - the more securely to reforget. He also uses this approach in a lengthy analysis of the catastrophic meaning of certain parts of Homer's Odyssey (11) If the function of the soap opera is studied from this point of view, it will be seen that the televised myth may do for modern man today what Velikovsky and de Grazia say Greek myth did for the peoples of the Aegean 2600 years ago. That is to say, it may embody archetypal patterns of action to which we respond racially. The main reason it can achieve this effect is because it has become a stark reduction to the most basic elements of melodrama, a condition made possible, ironically enough, because ...
... observes, in the citation at the heading of this chapter, the belief was held that the entrance to Hades lay in the British Isles. The ancients believed furthermore that the actual Hell or Hades lay in Britain, and was the Underworld to which all souls must repair for judgment. It was certainly the belief of the Egyptians, the Greeks, and the Celts. Brittany was the place of crossing because the regions of Hades lay in the west of Britain. The story Procopius tells affords a sort of sequel to the elaborate ritual practices in Egypt, whereby the souls of the departed were deemed to travel by devious route and magical ways to an Amenta in the far west ...
459. Baal-Manzer The Tyrian: A Reappraisal [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... is clearly his own conjecture. What are the implications of all this for the revised chronology? Donovan Courville and the late Bronson Feldman have both suggested that the Abimilki king of Tyre in the Amarna letters was Pygmalion [16]. They cite the phonetic similarity and Feldman adds a suggestion that the name was an intentional sarcasm derived from the Greek pygmaion, from which the word pygmy' is derived. Peter James, responding to Feldman's article [17], rejected the equation primarily on the basis of the Baal-Manzer' of Shalmaneser's annals, whom he equates with Baalazor. As we have seen, this objection is groundless. If Pygmalion was Abimilki, a loyal servant of Egypt ...
460. The Oera Linda book [Journals] [SIS Review]
... experts, I believe it to be of interest but stop short of giving it scriptural status, as Scrutton seems to do. This is our earliest history. Wr-alda, who alone is eternal and good, made the beginning. Then commenced time', over which all things appeared. The Frisian beginning was more an evolution, like the Greek appearance of all things from Chaos, then an actual Creation and Wr-alda, a form of Brahma, which would be expected considering the racial identity of the Frisians, Greeks and Aryans. The earth, Irtha (Nerthus, the earth-mother Tacitus said was worshipped in first century Denmark) brought forth all good things by day and all bad ...
