... . . This form Pûnî, adjective from puwwa, red dye, ' provides us with the prototype of the Greek phoin-ix and of the Latin Poen-us, pun-icus. It corresponds to the Greek word both phonetically and semantically. As a Semitic loanword, it is by no means exceptional in Mycenaean Greek, which contains several other words of Semitic origin."(8 ) The author of the above commentary, M. C. Astour, goes on to conclude that "the establishment of the West Semitic origin of phoinix and probably, of porphyra, is interesting not only from the etymological point of view. It also serves as another confirmation of steady Greco-Semitic contacts during the Mycenaean ...

... Chapter XXXIV The Origin of Egyptian Astronomy- the Northern Schools So far we have dealt with the dawn of astronomy in Egypt. We have found that from the earliest times there were astronomical observations carried on, and that practically there were three schools of thought. To all three schools sun-worship was common, but we may clearly separate them by the associated star-worship. We have found worshippers of northern stars, east and west stars, and southern stars. The northern star-worshippers we may associate with Annu, the east and west star cult with the pyramid fields at Gîzeh, and the southern star-worshippers with Upper Egypt. What we have to do in the present chapter is to see ...

... , is discussed. Two particular topics that have always fascinated man, namely the deluge traditions and the antiquity of the great Giza Sphynx, are discussed from the geologist point of view. The session on anthropology reviews work done by genetists and linguists, that shows a tree of evolution of human presence in the world from a very likely unique original source. Evidence of contacts before Columbus between America and Europe will be discussed. The hypothesis of civilization on Earth well before the third millennium will also be considered. A non standard interpretation will be given of who were the Nephilim and the Annunaki in the biblical and sumerian records. The session on mythologies and religions presents new paradigms that ...
... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part One: Meteors And Weather II - Hurricanes And Their Origin THE weather remains fine or wet over a period according to the absence or presence of meteoric bodies. After a disturbance of any magnitude the effects are felt over a wide area and sometimes for a considerable time. Let us look at the famous Tokyo Earthquake of 1923, when in Tokyo alone 350,000 houses were destroyed and there were over 130 000 casualties. At noon on September 1, 1923, Tokyo, Yokohama, and other were shaken almost to pieces and the after effects were felt over a considerable area. The summer prior to ...
186. Velikovsky and Catastrophism: A Hidden Agenda? [Journals] [Aeon]
... , with which Velikovsky would also have been made painfully familiar in his secular education. Spanning some 100 years, it challenged the authenticity of every section of the Jewish Bible by arguing that its major components were copies of earlier Babylonian or Canaanite prototypes and that its present form was a craftily-selected composite of various sometimes-contradictory earlier sources, rather than an original document dictated by God to Moses. So extreme was this attack upon the Jewish Bible that, to quote a leading commentary at the turn of the century: Religious terms, ideas, institutions, once supposed to be peculiar to Israel, are now seen to be common to them and other nations; in some cases, moreover, ...

... which suggests the chasm between the two Phaedriades. The name Parnassus appears to mean mountain of the house' in Luvian, a language of Asia Minor. This, and the presence in Greek of such words as Korinthos, asaminthos, labyrinthos, Hymettos, Mykalessos, is generally held to mean that the pre-Achaean people of Greece were of Asian origin, and were hosts to an immigration of Achaeans in the 2nd millennium B.C .. Tartessus was a Phoenician city near Cadiz, ruled by King Arganthonius (Cicero: De Senectute XIX). The worship of Apollo at Delphi was not established until relations with Corinth were established about 800 B.C .. The orientalising tendency ...

... extent to which the Taurid-Arietid meteoroid stream and its daytime counterpart, the Beta Taurid-zeta Perseid stream, dominate the inner Solar System. Other streams assumed to be associated are the Northern and Southern Piscids, southern Arietids, chi Orionids, rho Geminids, chi Geminids and Canids [3 ]. Sporadic meteoroids may also be relevant to assessment of the original Taurid stream density. Although some are thought to originate from Solar System asteroids, many are understood to be dispersed former cometary meteoroid stream members. Sporadic meteoroids entering the atmosphere greatly outnumber those associated with specific streams. Stohl, who has studied sporadic meteoroids, states [4 ], It appears that the whole complex of interplanetary bodies associated ...

... and one of the organisers of its Annual Seminars - held since 1982. His articles have appeared in SIS Review, Kronos, Canadian SIS and Aeon. Paper presented at the conference The Interaction of Scientific and Judaic Cultures: An International Symposium', Montreal, Canada, June 3-5, 1990. The ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky may have their origin not in the debates of 20th-century American science, but may derive from an earlier time and place, which are central and eastern Europe from roughly 1850 to 1940. It is my belief that, if we trace the grand lines of Germanic ideology from let us say Fichte to Hitler, and then look at the experiences of central European ...

... dwellings were dug up are numbered from I to V starting at the surface. The first or uppermost layer is the most explored, but in the first nine archaeological seasons only about one eighth of this level had been unearthed. Digging in deeper strata has been confined to very small areas. The second layer yielded a few objects of Egyptian origin of the time of the Middle Kingdom; during the Middle Kingdom the north Syrian coast was in the sphere of Egyptian influence. At a depth of more than ten meters still older civilizations have come to light; remnants of the Neolithic (Late Stone) Age were found on the underlying rock. The age of the remains found in ...
