... from the Caucasus and consequently abandoned Egypt and possibly Palestine. They certainly did not challenge the Yahwist rebellion. Presumably, Psammetich was an ally of the Assyrians or simply moved into the Levant after they vacated the region. These ebbs and flows in climate, periodic crises and unaccountable falls in population levels bedevilled the Persians, the Greeks and the Romans in what appears to be a cycle of some kind. They can likewise be picked up in mid 10th (peaking around 948BC), the 9th, 8th and 7th centuries BC. The cycle does not appear to correspond with the kind of timescales pictured by Clube and Napier in their two books and Velikovsky brought the Mars scenario to ...

... also had myths. A myth is a female moth. Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline. Eventually, the Romans conquered the Greeks. History calls people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out:"Tee hee, Brutus. When you breath, you ...

... for their worship. For instance, tradition reports that a fairly large meteorite fell in Phrygia during the third century BC. This stone was worshipped as an image of the goddess Cybele. It was believed that prosperity and victory were secured to the people who possessed it. In 218 BC the Carthaginian general Hannibal. the mortal enemy of the Romans, invaded Italy and inflicted a series of crushing defeats on them. To raise the morale and stir up the fighting spirit of the Romans, the prophecy of an oracle was proclaimed, that the Carthaginians would be beaten if Rome secured the image' of Cybele. An expedition was sent to the Phrygian king Attalus, who was forced ...

... horse. The uncomprehending but flattered host announced that such was the name of his bread in French and so it would be called thereafter. (Should this story be untrue we are permitted the Italian expression, "Se non é vero, é ben trovato.") The heart as the seat of love and soul is not Greek or Roman by origin, but Christian. The Greeks and Romans were fully and explicitly phallic [3 ]. The Christian heart, it need no retailing to modern folk, is and has been for long a motif to be found in a great many paintings and is referred to in many prayers. The cult of the Sacred Heart of Jesus ...
246. Some Religious Themes in the Light of Velikovsky et alia [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... width.(9 ) He also states that the tree of knowledge formed a hedge around it, and this surely must be symbolic of the halo that surrounded Saturn. The Cult of the Blessed Virgin A popular belief among many people today, whether they are supporters of Velikovsky or not, is that the place held by Mary in the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches is a continuation of the Venus cult.(10) As a Roman Catholic myself, I admit that the identification of Mary with Astarte is offensive, but feel that the Christian development of "Maryology" has rendered any former unsavoury planetary connotations innocuous. Astarte's cult was purely planetary and its rituals were degrading ...

... and older city were Greeks, and those of the modern town Italians. But he would reason very hastily if he also concluded from these data, that there had been a sudden change from the Greek to the Italian language in Campania. But if he afterwards found three buried cities, one above the other, the intermediate one, being Roman . . . he would then perceive the fallacy of his former opinion, and would begin to suspect that the catastrophes, by which the cities were inhumed, might have no relation whatever to the fluctuations in the language of the inhabitants; and that, as the Roman tongue had evidently intervened between the Greek and Italian, so many ...

... shiny copper and bronze in preference to iron, a religious tabu may have played a role in the slow progress of iron. A tabu against using iron for certain purposes is known to have existed in Palestine- the stones of the Israelite altar must have been shaped without the use of iron;37 a similar tabu was observed in Greek and Roman cults;38 it was and still is widespread.39 In Egypt iron was called "bones of Seth," and played a role in religious beliefs and superstitions. Tiny symbolic instruments, which served for "opening the mouth" of the deceased and which were made of bia, the heavenly metal, the iron that fell from ...

... when the Olympic games of Greece were said to have started correct time-keeping in that country. The erudite Ernst Curtius asserted that the Olympiad calendar was "first scientifically worked out by Hippias" of Elis. German erudition put a quietus on all further questioning of Greek chronography, despite the warning of Plutarch in the beginning of his biography of the Roman lawgiver Numa: To be correct about the chronology [of Numa] is difficult, and especially what is deduced from the Olympic victors, whose register they say that Hippias of Elis published late, starting from nothing really trustworthy.[13] So the modern dating of the earliest Olympic athletic games from the year -776 may be merely ...
