22. Morning Star II [Journals] [Aeon]
... speculation. This seems to indicate an ancient confusion between the Moon and the planet Venus. The next question to ask, therefore, is: What could have given rise to such a quandary? The ambiguity could have arisen from the fact that Venus, under whatever name, was often spoken of, and even portrayed as, having been horned. Effigies of the horned Isis- whom the famous Cleopatra was so fond of impersonating- and/or Hathor are well known. In Syria, and to the Phoenicians, Astarte was known as Ashteroth-Karnaim- i.e . Astarte of the horns. This characteristic also led to the term "Venus Cornuta"- i.e ...
23. The Avebury Cycle by Michael Dames [Journals] [SIS Review]
... hill and the chalk hills of the Ridgeway, a neolithic trackway connecting Avebury with East Anglia. In the south there is a peculiar chalk escarpment dividing the Avebury bowl from the Vale of Pewsey, which includes the large mass of Tan Hill (from Beltane or fire hill') and two extending narrow ridges of chalk that resemble two great horns. The sheer scale of human activity on the landscape is incredible. Professor John North (Stonehenge: Neolithic Man and the Cosmos (Harper Collins, 1996)) claims that linear earthworks and long barrows with ditches were constructed to mark the positions of specific groups of stars. Prominent among these clusters of stars are the Pleaides and the ...
24. Rethinking Hatshepsut [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1999:1 (Jul 1999) Home | Issue Contents Rethinking Hatshepsut by David K. Down Some 50 years ago Dr Siegfried Horn identified the Egyptian princess who drew Moses out of the water as Queen Hatshepsut of the XVIII dynasty. He did so by synchronising biblical chronology, I Kings 6:1 , which dated the Exodus to about 1445BC, with the then standard Egyptian chronology date for Hatshepsut from 1504 to 1482BC. The alignment was pleasing. Hatshepsut was Egypt's greatest queen, she built a beautiful temple at Deir el Bahri and she had no sons to succeed her. At the time it seemed a good idea but with advancing ...

... runs a race, and this occurs still in India, and it occurred in Spain until two years before I started studying it, at which time it had been dropped for reasons of cruelty to the bull. They still have facsimile productions among the Basques, and even in Central America, in which either a man plays the bull with horns or they have a metal bull, among the Basques, with fireworks that go off, but it was obviously a very important ritual. I started first working with the fire walk which still goes on in Soria province in Spain, at midnight on midsummer eve they walk over the burning coals, and they really do it, and ...
26. The Art Of Warfare. Part I Ch.3 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... is identified by the accompanying hieroglyphics as Denien. A third and largest group in identical dress and headgear is designated as Pereset.[4 ] From this we learn that soldiers and marines from the Persian satrapies in the imperial army of Artaxerxes II were dressed in the same fashion as the Persian warriors. These were conscripts; the soldiers with horned helmets, however, were mercenaries. Since Herodotus visited Egypt in the middle of the fifth century, it looks as if the designation Teucrian was then current for the people of the western coast of Asia Minor in general, or, possibly, for one group among them. The Tjeker also appear as marines in the story of Wenamon ...
27. Dragons and Serpents (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... the chief evidence that all dragon myths came from some common original story of remote antiquity. In all myths the dragon takes the form a terrible monster of lizard or snake shape, of huge bulk, but nevertheless of keen agility, generally winged, its body glittering in scaly coat of mail, with flashing fiery eyes, and armed with horns, fearful fangs, and claws. Its tail spans the Earth, sweeps the heavens. It breathes fire. Out of his mouth', we read in Job xli. 19- 21, go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke.... His breath kindleth coals, and ...
28. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of charged bodies, and a mythical/historical reference to a particular sound, variously interpreted as Yau, Yahweh, Yao, etc. A recent experience in Nepal gave me food for thought on the subject. Camping outside a Buddhist monastery, I was woken at dawn by the magnificent sound of monks in full blow upon enormously long Tibetan horns. The sound worked its way up through a series of starting runs of different pitches until it all coalesced into one thrilling musical resonance. Some days later I was followed along a mountain trail by a monk who was intoning continuously the universal prayer, inscribed on thousands of prayer flags and stones all over Tibetan influenced regions, "Om ...
29. Trisms and Planetary Iconography [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... shapes generally lean away from the center, as if some external force was pulling on each of them. In Figure 1, below, the triangular gameboard between the two warriors resembles a trism. Only the imagination limits the number of objects that resemble the trism. Here is a short list: a crown, any kind of winged or horned object, an android with arms outstretched, flowers such as the fleur-de-lis or the lotus, sheaves of grain or corn, and- even more abstractly- anchors, hearts, seashells or spades. Readers of David N. Talbott's work on the Saturnian polar configuration will recall how he identified a form that I call a trism as the shape formed ...
30. A Fire not Blown [Books]
... the Greek tradition of hospitality involving bath ritual and banquet such as are described in the Odyssey. Q-CD vol. 13, A Fire Not Blown, Ch. 15: Hawara and Knosos 90 There is evidence that child sacrifice and cannibalism took place, a combination that reminds one of Kronos and Zeus. Temple ornaments included snakes, bull, horns, axe and statuettes of goddesses. What sort of temple was it at Knosos, and at Hawara for that matter? I suggest that the labyrinths at Hawara and at Knosos, as well as being religious, administrative and storage centres, were representations of heaven and earth, the cosmos. The same may be true of the Hittite ...
