... and a 30:1 resonance with Saturn, also 85:1 with Uranus. This explains the 360-day (not 365-day) ancient year and ancient calendar; 360-day calendars were the norm in ancient societies before 701 B.C . Orbit Hot Spot. The closest point in a planet's orbit to the Sun is its "perihelion" (Greek, peri = near, helios = Sun). Mars had a perihelion of 66 million miles in our model, and thus its perihelion was well inside Venus' orbit space. Orbit Cold Spot. The remotest point in a planet's orbit to the Sun is its "aphelion" (Greek, ap = far from). Mars ...
462. The Ring About The Earth at 2300 BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... naksatra calendar is referred to several times in the Rgveda. Authorities generally agree that on the the astronomical evidence, the 24th century BC is the most likely compilation date of the naksatra calendar [9 ]. Major Iranian deities have been identified with Indian counterparts in the Rgveda, allowing dating referencing to the Indo-Iranian separation at about 2300BC. In Greek mythology, Zeus and other deities can be traced to the Indo-Europeans who moved into that region around 2300BC. Strong linguistic links between the Balkan cultures and the early Indo-Europeans around 2300BC could possibly serve as a dating reference for that region. The Hebrew deity Yahweh can be traced to his earlier identity Yah, worshipped by several groups of people ...
463. On Dragons and Red Dwarves [Journals] [Aeon]
... will encounter again and again in the traditions surrounding the warrior-hero. Into the Belly of the Dragon An intriguing motive makes the warrior-hero descend into the belly of the dragon in order to conquer it. Such a tale was related of Heracles, for example, a hero whose adventures offer numerous parallels with the career of Indra. According to various Greek chroniclers, it was while waging combat with the dragon which ravaged Troy that the Greek strongman is said to have leapt fully armed into the monster's mouth. Three days later Heracles emerged from the beast's belly, although the experience had rendered him bald. (21) As bizarre as this myth reads, precise parallels to Heracles' plight ...
464. The King Deposed. Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... also casually wed one of his daughters. Akhnaton followed his example. The influence of the Mitannian code of marital relations could have been responsible for these liberties unknown in the royal house of Egypt in earlier generations, prior to intermarriages with the royal house of Mitanni. The union of Akhnaton with his daughter may be the basis of the ancient Greek tradition that, besides his mother-wife Jocasta, and the younger wife Euryganeia, who bore him several children and whom he sent away in disgrace, Oedipus wedded also a "virgin Astymedusa."4 Students of ancient lore wondered at this complicated order of events5; the Greek tragedians, however, omitted these traditional elements to make the story ...

... hold the same view]. On the other hand, the almost universal opinion of archaeologists rejects this hypothesis"(3 ). "Moreover there remains a difficulty which no one has even attempted to dispose of. It is a historical fact that Argos was the greatest power in Greece and supreme in the Peloponnesos during the eighth century: Greek tradition assigns to the Argive kings several developments of civilization .. .. Yet the majority of archaeologists assign all the early remains in this district to a period centuries earlier. Is it probable that all traces of the greatest period in Argive history have altogether disappeared, while numerous remains exist of Argive glory during the unknown period 1500-1000 B ...

... , the gestural form is apparent in the large upper register figure on the stele of Urnammu (" Neo- Sumerian"), in the representation of Hammurabi on his stele, and the monumental relief of Darius I at Behistun. It can also be seen in Egyptian reliefs of the New Kingdom and Ptolemaic periods. (48) In Greek art, this manual activity became one "of adoration, made by raising the right forearm vertically with the palm of the hand turned outward and slightly bent back at the wrist". (49) In time, the same gesture also took on a more generalized meaning becoming a conventionalized depiction of respect or greeting. In this manner ...
467. Plato (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... annually, but once every four years- and so also in the year of which we are speaking, 421 BC, it was observed with especial splendour. While the very short Lesser Festival was largely of interest to the local population only, the ennead of the Greater Panathenaea always attracted numerous Attic colonists and many Philathenians from all over the Greek world. On its penultimate day, the twenty-eighth of the month of the hecatomb, the first month of the year - at the end of what roughly corresponds to our month of July - the festival culminated in a magnificent procession in which the new peplos was paraded in the streets of Athens, on its way up to the white-gleaming ...
468. The Many Faces Of Venus - The Planet Venus in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and Mars were seen with the Saturnian enclosure atop a world mountain or pillar. Such associations are echoed in the myths of peoples around the world. Venus is also commonly associated with the colour green, the creator of a garden and the fertility which went with plant growth. The many faces of Venus are best described by the multiplicity of Greek goddesses, all eventually derivable from the archetypal mother goddess who is still with us today in the form of the Virgin Mary. Aphrodite, goddess of beauty and love, has an affair with the Martian Ares; she is also a goddess of lamentation, another common mythological theme when a goddess goes in search of the remains of her ...

470. Old-Babylonian and Persian Terra-Cotta Reliefs [Journals] [Aeon]
... - equally famous as a lawgiver although his laws have yet to be found- confirmed the vast size of the empire in question. In Egypt, terra-cottas made from molds do not appear before the middle of the first millennium BCE. The best known site for these mass-produced pieces was Alexandria, whose "terra-cotta industry was probably founded by immigrated Greek artisans who brought their molds from the homeland." (11) Many terra-cottas were found in the Persian strata of Memphis. These appear to stem from the period prior to the fourth century BCE, possibly connected to the first settlement of Greeks in Egypt beginning after 615 BCE at Naucratis: From the numerous terra-cottas, portrayals of a ...
