... , to be followed by March 1st, all would be well. What then of January and February? When it was found necessary to insert January into the calendar - What, all of a sudden? Whatever happened? - it naturally took on the number of days as the original first month of the year, March. But the Romans did name it after Janus-the-Untrustworthy, indicating how unreliable the seasons had become. Even that was not enough - a rag-bag of a month, February (the festival of propitiation and purification - oh, how the Romans needed to please their angry gods!), was invented. But how had such practical people managed without those 59 days ...
... Time Reckoning, (Lund/London 1920), p. 367, that, ". .. we are met with the difficulty that an intercalary cycle [adding days or months to the calendar] was not introduced into Babylonia before the sixth century [B .C .] ." A.E . Samuel, Greek and Roman Chronology, (Munich 1972) p.21, says, ". .. We have long lived with the cliche that the Greeks learned their astronomy from the Babylonians, but modern investigation has demonstrated that the sophisticated Babylonian systems were later than had hitherto been believed. The irregular intercalations [of adding days or months to the calendar ...
213. Pallas Athene, Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... upon her head she set the helmet with two horns," said Homer.(9 ) Pallas Athene is identified with Astarte (Ishtar) or the planet Venus of the Babylonians.(10) Anaitis of the Iranians, too, is identified as Pallas Athene and as the planet Venus.(11) Plutarch identified Minerva of the Romans or Athene of the Greeks with Isis of the Egyptians, and Pliny identified the planet Venus with Isis.(12) It is necessary to recall this here because it is generally supposed that the Greeks had no deity of importance who personified the planet Venus(13) and that, on the other hand, they "did not ...
214. Velikovsky's Mythology, Accepting the Premise... [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... - and Velikovsky says that Anath was Venus.(6 ) Aphrodite/Venus also shares the attributes of Ishtar/Inanna: 7 she was the goddess of love, had a slightly violent nature and was associated with the familiar fertility myth (Venus/Adonis, the latter being associated with Tammuz(8 )) . In addition her Roman name associates the goddess with the planet Venus. Yet Velikovsky identifies Athene/Minerva, a goddess who is almost certainly correctly identified with Anath,(9 ) with the planet Venus.(10) A similar situation obtains in Egypt where Hathor, again a love goddess often shown with the head of a cow(11) ( ...
215. The Great Comet Venus [Journals] [Aeon]
... described the public reaction: "This comet was so horrible and so frightful and it produced such great terror in the vulgar that some died of fear and others fell sick." (82) The range of comet fears is impressive. According to Aristotle, the comet brings wind and drought. (83) Among both the Greeks and Romans, "The comet was inevitably the presage of some cataclysmic event," states A. Barret. (84) Josephus reports in his History of the Jews that prior to the destruction of Jerusalem by Roman armies, "a comet shaped like a sword" hung over the city for an entire year. (85) (While ...
216. Huitzilopochtli, Part 2 Mars Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... , H. H. Bancroft writes: "Huitzilopochtli had, like Mars and Odin, the spear or a bow in his right hand, and in the left, sometimes a bundle of arrows, sometimes a round white shield. . . . On these weapons depended the welfare of the state, just as on the ancile of the Roman Mars, which had fallen from the sky, or on the palladium of the warlike Pallas Athene. By-names also point out Huitzilopochtli as war god; so he is called the terrible god Tetzateotl, or the raging Tetzahuitl."3 Bancroft proceeds: "One might be led to compare the capital of the Aztecs with ancient Rome, ...
217. Let There be Darkness: The Reign of the Swastika by Lewis M. Greenberg [Journals] [Aeon]
... class was rationalized by the Germans to demonstrate Aryan superiority over the Jews." The swastika thus became imbued with an enormously strong symbolic and religious status that made it the natural future choice as the primary icon of the Nazi party. The next portion of the book delves more deeply into the earliest ties between Germany and Troy. Right from Roman times up through the time of Clovis and Emperor Charlemagne (800 AD), into the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, all royal houses claimed Trojan ancestry. Thus the "Legacy of Troy" chapter explains why Troy, more than any other city the world has known, held such an enduring fascination for so many later peoples and ...
218. Herodotus on Thutmoses III and Amenophis III [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... example has been found on the Euphrates.7 About the Scythians and Thracians there is more to be said. The Greeks did not know the Hittites and the Hurrians (there is possibly, as far as I know, one exception). Some years ago8 I expressed my view that the Hittites and Hurrians were known to the Greeks and Romans as Scythians and Thracians. Sesostris then reached the countries of the Hittites and the Hurrians. It is significant to learn that Thutmoses III received tribute from the Hittites9 and entered Mitannian (i .e . Hurrian) territory.10 Another argument against an identification of the Herodotean Sesostris with Senwosret is only valid in traditional chronology. The Hyksos ...
219. The Birth and Odyssey of Halley's Comet: From 2484 B.C. to the Present Time [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... was orbiting (counter-clockwise) in its October sector during this perihelion of the Comet's visitation, the flyby must have been one of the four or five most spectacular shows that Halley's Comet ever put on for Earth's viewers. The Comet's passage in 66 A.D . was noted by several writers, and its nucleus and tail formed what the Romans perceived to be a sword, calling the nucleus the "handle" and its tail the "blade."[3 ] Their annals indicate that the celestial sword "stood" over Rome. We have from the Gospels of Luke and Matthew the nativity scenes in Palestine. There, as in Rome, the star was perceived as ...
220. The Two Babylons: The Great Red Dragon [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... "the Mighty king," inasmuch as he was the first who was called Moloch, or King, and the first who began to be "mighty" (Gheber) on the earth, we see at once how it was that the "passing through the fire to Moloch" originated, and how the god of fire among the Romans came to be called "Mulkiber." It was only after his death, however, that he appears to have been deified. Then, retrospectively, he was worshipped as the child of the Sun, or the Sun incarnate. In his own life-time, however, he set up no higher pretensions than that of being Bol-Khan, ...
