... Solomon and Hezekiah, in constructing works for the distribution of Jerusalem's waters, sought to imitate the four rivers of paradise- even to the point of naming one stream Gihon (a river of Eden) and declaring that from beneath the temple these streams flowed out over the whole world. (37) The ancient Etruscans, followed by the Romans, looked to the same image of the fourfold Cosmos in laying out the plan of the sacred city. The surveyors, according to W. Muller, sought to map out the "terrestrial image of a celestial prototype," and their division of the land into four regions- the Roma quadrata"reflects a powerful cosmological model: ...

Rolf Herzog, Punt, Gluckstadt, 1968 Birgit Liesching, Brussels, Belgium The Roman Augur - Some Reflections on Livy Book I Dear Sir, The first book of Livy's History of Rome contains important material. It is generally known that augurs specialised in the study of birds, animals and lightning. The fulgurator was an expert in the study of thunderbolts, and the haruspices studied the entrails of sacrificed animals. The Etruscans ...
263. My Challenge to Conventional Views in Science [Journals] [Pensee]
... strong imprint on the witnesses. There were physical upheavals on a global scale in historical times; the grandiosity of the events inspired awe. From the Far East to the Far West- the Japanese, Chinese and Hindu civilizations; the Iranian, Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Hitto-Chaldean, Israelite and Egyptian records; the Etruscan, Attic and Roman theogonies and philosophies; Scandinavian and Icelandic epics; Mayan, Toltec and Olmec art and legends- all, with no exception, were dominated by the knowledge of events and circumstances that only the most brazen attitude of science could so completely disregard. The scientific community starts its annals with Newton, paying some homage to Copernicus, Kepler and ...
264. CLASHING MAGNETIC FIELDS [Journals] [Aeon]
... Earth. Hebrew history denotes the March crossing as the "Passover" and Mars always passed over at night for the Eastern Hemisphere. Hebrew tradition also denotes the fearful October crossing as "the Day of the Lord". It always occurred during daytime for the Eastern Hemisphere and its occasion was supremely dreaded. 2700 years ago, the early Romans called the spring crossing the "tubilustrium" (day of trouble). Some 1500 years yet earlier, Sumerian astronomer/astrologers had made this "the first point of Aries". (While the name Aries was a Greco/Roman term, the fact is that the first point of the zodiac being "ruled" by Mars ...
265. Chapter23_end
... true accomplishment of ancient prophecies. After the ages of the Father and the Son men expected the Age of the Holy Ghost to follow immediately, when all men would be brothers-a great revolutionary moment sparked by the order of St. Francis. It lived on in the shrunken horizon of Enlightenment, which set the span back to the Greeks and Romans as semi-gods. And yet, in those classical times, that dream was already there. It was of a return far back to the birth of a Miraculous Child. And back far beyond that, to the clearer idea of cosmic configurations such as they were when time had not yet been set in motion. Here came the Timaeus ...
266. ALL Honorable Men [Books]
... al., states: "Seen from the Venera 9 and 10 spacecraft were surfaces littered with rocks and boulders . . . some were angular, some were rounded, suggesting weathering and active surface processes on the planet . . . Apparently Venus' surface is . . . affected by more surface processes than anticipated." (99) Roman Smoluchowski states, "Most of the rocks seen in the Venera pictures have smooth and rounded edges, suggesting strong erosion (and corrosion)." (100) Joseph Veverka states that on Venus, "One would expect that under present conditions, (high pressure, temperature, and acidity) weathering would be rapid." ( ...
267. Golden Age Canopy by Isaac Vail [Books]
... mythology from the Greeks. But this impinges on the impending and I have to say that Rome did not borrow its heavens from Greece, nor from any other people; and as every people's skies were the one grand source of its ancient mythology the borrower of gods is a rare bird and finds its true place in the rear. The Roman people as a matter of necessity, had to have almost identical thought with the nations' east or west of them for they saw the same initial thought creating scenes, so that almost all their primitive legends started from the same fountain head, and were only varied by the native idiosyncrasies of the custodians of primeval history. The canopy ...
268. Heracles as Cross-Dresser [Journals] [Aeon]
... the servitude in order to atone for the Greek strongman's treacherous murder of Iphitus. Carl Kerenyi summarized this curious incident as follows: "A spindle was put in his hand and he was set to prepare wool with the slave-girls." [2 ] The discordant image of the muscle-bound hero operating the spindle was a popular theme for Greek and Roman artists as witnessed by a mid-fourth century BCE Lucanian pelike that shows Heracles with a spindle. [3 ] Figure One. (Courtesy of the British Museum.) The most complete account of Heracles' servitude is that found in Ovid's Heroides. There the Latin poet describes the son of Zeus as forced to wear women's clothing while helping ...

... have taken it seriously have been aware that it offers the possibility, not merely of solving more and more problems by the methods of the established specializations, but further of restructuring knowledge as a whole. Dr. Velikovsky showed himself conscious of his challenge to the structure of knowledge when he set as epigraph to the book a question by the Roman polymath, Seneca: "Quota pars operis tanti nobis committitur?" "What part of so great a task is committed to us?" And he has given a kind of private answer to that question by devoting the most massive share of his researches in the last twenty-five years to the historical sciences, as represented by the expansion ...
... pestilence". The conclusion I draw from the foregoing is that Demetrius witnessed by mere chance a meteoric storm and that Druid seers improved the shining hour by giving him a lesson on meteorism. I should incline to place the venue of this encounter rather in the neighbourhood of Iona or Staffa except that it would have been almost inaccessible to the Roman Demetrius.3 The genii of the Underworld cult were often the subject of invocations. A stone from Achindavy bears the words, "genio terrae Britannicae", showing accordingly that someone in the Roman world put faith in the demon or devil of Britain. At Chester a stone was found engraved with the words "Genio Averni", ...
