... Narmer. [72] In this respect, Heinsohn himself called attention to what he considered an anomaly. As Jill Abery succinctly phrased it for him: "Other material styles reached a peak in the Old Akkadian culture, only to disappear and reappear later with the Old Assyrians. Among later material was a seal depicting a bull with its horns in an unusual position, supposedly never seen before by the experts. We were, however, shown a picture [by Heinsohn] of this seal and invited to compare it with a very similar picture of a bull on Narmer's palette, supposedly from 3000 BC." [73] The "unusual position" of the bull's horns ...
282. The Papyrus Ipuwer, Egyptian Version Of The Plagues - A New Perspective [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... army survived: "Now when the majesty of Ra-Harmachis [fought] with the evil-doers in this pool, the Place of the Whirlpool, the evil-doers prevailed not over his majesty. His majesty leapt into the so-called Place of the Whirlpool? .. . his legs became those of a crocodile, his head that of a hawk with bull's horns upon it: he smote the evil-doers in the Place of the Whirlpool? in the Place of the Sycamore..."(79) Egyptian records of military defeats extolled the courage and might of the pharaoh over and above his defeated army, as in the cases of Amenhotep II at Mareshah in southern Palestine and Ramses II at ...
283. Applying the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... . Even the "intermediate" examples from elsewhere in Greece seem too few to bridge the gap. 49. Taylour, "Mycenae, 1968," pl. XIIId, and caption. 50. Ibid., p. 92. Actually, a much better example of this sort of thing is to be found on the youthful "horned god" from Enkomi on Cyprus. Also found in a building said to have been destroyed ca. 1200 B.C ., this bronze statuette betrays many features of archaic sculpture. In fact, were it not found in a "Mycenaean" context, it would have been attributed to the 6th-century Arcadian school of Greek sculpture. ...

... in Europe and Africa, (Museum of Modern Art, 1937), p. 38 respecting, "Orientalists of the last century. .. [that] decided that [rock] drawings in the Sahara were the work of Phoenicians. It was likewise observed that on the drawings discovered by Barth, the cattle wore discs between their horns just as in Egyptian drawings. Also, the Egyptian god Set was found pictured on the rocks. And there were rock paintings of war chariots drawn by horses, in an area where these animals could not survive two days without extraordinary precautions. ' [P . LeCler, Sahara, (1954), p. 46] " ...
285. The Road to Saturn (Excerpts from an Autobiographical Essay) [Journals] [Aeon]
... knowledge has yet to be assessed; that of Velikovsky yet to be appreciated. My only misgiving at that point was that I had postponed my major criticisms of Velikovsky's work for far too long since I would rather have broken my lance with him while he was still alive. I had listened to those who had sought to draw in my horns against my better judgement and I was now in danger of falling prey to the fear of being labelled a traitor. But in my mind I knew I could not hold back any longer. "Other Worlds, Other Collisions," the paper I prepared for the San Jose seminar sponsored by KRONOS, was meant to raise more than ...
286. Maya Cosmos: A Saturnian Interpretation (Part II) [Journals] [Aeon]
... while changing shape and colour. During one phase, the configuration was believed to possess male properties; in another, female attributes. Sometimes the very same feature was characteristically understood as either male or female, depending on the interpretation of terrestrial viewers. For example, in other parts of the world, the Saturnian crescent was understood as the horns of a bull by some, and the horns of a cow by others. Figure 20. Dance of the First Father. (From Copan.) Figure 20 offers further confirmation that the net motif is connected to the Saturnian configuration. What is shown is stela H at Copan which "has long baffled students of the ancient Maya ...
287. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . He used the term sun-like meteor' which sounds strange except to those who are familiar with ancient terminology. Aristotle, in order to defend the immutability of the heavens, distinguishes astronomy from meteorology and defines the latter as the study of the appearance in the sky of burning flames and of shooting stars and of what some call torches and horns' (Meteor. I 341 B). It is significant that, after having described the general topic of meteorology, Aristotle begins the treatment of it by refuting those who say that the comet is one of the planets' (342 B). Gundel's criticism is not justified, because even though it is clear from Kugler's explanation ...
288. The Ark in Action [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Jordan has been blocked by seismic landslides for that long and longer. Figure 14 gives us the story in the collapsed time perspective of a medieval mosaic. Yahweh commanded a daily march around the beleaguered citadel for six days, and seven rounds of the city on the seventh day. Armed men went first, then seven priests blowing rams' horns, then the Ark whose behavior by now must have been transfixing the garrison, and finally a rear guard. On the seventh day's seventh round of the hill, the trumpeters blew their horns, and the expectant people of Israel, hitherto silent by command (probably to let the voice of Yahweh give the city "the screaming meamies ...
289. Untitled [Books]
... ]. The false hope does not last long, for in the next battle Antony's forces are soundly defeated, and it appears that Cleopatra has truly betrayed him this time. Antony is driven into uncontrollable anger, and compares himself to the frenzied Hercules, who, near death through a poisoned garment, hurls the bearer of it on the horns o' th' moon, 4.12.45. We remember how Dr. Velikovsky showed that many myths of divine and sometimes horned animals scourging the earth are symbols of the catastrophic tempests [30], and so it is with the failing Antony, who Cleopatra says is more mad Than Telamon for his shield; the ...
... were quite close, that they recognized in them a troop of the wild oxen, called Yak by the Thibetans.* There were more than fifty of them incrusted in the ice. No doubt they had tried to swim across at the moment of congelation, and had been unable to disengage themselves. Their beautiful heads, surmounted by huge horns, were still above the surface, but their bodies were held fast in the ice, which was so transparent that the position of the imprudent beasts was easily distinguishable ; they looked as if still swimming, but the eagles and ravens had pecked out their eyes."f The foregoing investigations, therefore, lead us to infer that ...
