... absent and was forgotten. He complained about this to Zeus and obtained an island which was just beginning to emerge from the waves. He called it Rhodes after the nymph Rhode, whom he loved." (61) The Colossus of Rhodes, the renowned work of the sculptor Chares, was a statue of Helios and one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. (62) Helios was also associated with his son Phaethon who unsuccessfully attempted to drive the flaming chariot of his father until Zeus slew the youth with a thunderbolt, thereby saving the Earth and mankind from further conflagration and ruin. In another variation of the story, Phaethon ultimately became the Morning-Evening Star- ...
62. Part III: The Legends [Ragnarok] [Books]
... fire, the poisonous gases, and the falling stones and clay-dust, by taking refuge in the water or in the deep caves of the earth. And hence everywhere in the ancient legends we find the races claiming that they came up out of the earth. Man was earth-born. The Toltecs and Aztecs traced back their origin to "the seven caves." We have seen the ancestors of the Peruvians emerging from the primeval cave, Pacarin-Tampu; and the Aztec Nanahuatzin taking refuge in a cave; and the ancestors of the Yurucares, the Takahlis, and the Mbocobi of America, all hiding themselves from the conflagration in a cave; and we have seen the tyrannical and cruel ...
63. From Creation to the Death of Isaac [Books]
... man, and made out of the earth, (for our discourse must now be about him,) after Abel was slain, and Cain fled away, on account of his murder, was solicitous for posterity, and had a vehement desire of children, he being two hundred and thirty years old; after which time he lived other seven hundred, and then died. He had indeed many other children, (8 ) but Seth in particular. As for the rest, it would be tedious to name them; I will therefore only endeavor to give an account of those that proceeded from Seth. Now this Seth, when he was brought up, and came to ...
64. Hammurabi and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... interest in archaeology, and excavated the foundations of ancient temples, looking for old inscriptions.(2a) In the foundations of a temple at Larsa, Nabonidus found a plaque of King Burnaburiash. This king is known to us from the el-Amarna correspondence in which he participated. On that plaque Burnaburiash wrote that he had rebuilt the temple erected seven hundred years before by King Hammurabi. The el-Amarna letters, according to conventional chronology, were written about -1400. Thus, if Burnaburiash lived then, Hammurabi must have lived about -2100. When Egyptologists found it necessary to reduce the el-Amarna Age by a quarter of a century, the time of Hammurabi was adjusted accordingly, and placed in ...
65. Night of the Gods: The Stone [Books]
... or they were at least daubed with their blood, which Herodotus and Porphyry also told. In the 6th century of our era Antoninus Martyr (Ibid. 38) saw the neighbouring Saracens adore a stone on Mount Horeb, as the simulacrum of a lunar deity. Among other famous stones were the lapides qui divi dicuntur at Seleucia; the seven black stones at Uruk which typified the seven chief gods, the mystic or Great Ones; 115 and it may turn out that all such black sacred stones were natural magnets or aerolites. Jacob's memorial stone or beth EI was made a metzebali or massebah, which is rendered pillar in the English.116 Others were, among the Israelites ...
66. The Rites Of Moloch [Journals] [Kronos]
... was the name of the valley near Jerusalem where Moloch had been worshipped in ancient times, and they therefore explained the meaning of this word, as well as its synonym Tofet [the same as Tophet], from its connection with the worship of Moloch."(25) Moloch's Tophet is described in the Midrashim as having consisted of seven compartments.(26) Of this, too, we take special note. VII Immanuel Velikovsky was quite correct when he stated that "The Jewish people did not obtain all of its supremacy' in that one day at the Mountain of Lawgiving; this people did not receive the message of monotheism as a gift. It struggled for ...
67. Night of the Gods: The Pillar [Books]
... destructive per se of Fergusson's Buddhist origin theory. "There is little doubt," Fergusson goes on (p . 509), "that it originally supported a figure of Garuda " . . . . " but the real object of its erection was as a pillar of victory to record the `defeat of the Balhikas, near the seven mouths of the Sindhu or Indus." This "real object" need not blind us to the sacred idea of the heavens-bird at the summit of the Universe-Axis (see " Divine Birds"). We also find that "the Balhikas"area" riddle." This being so, and taking into account the " Seven mouths ...
68. The Dawn of Astronomy: A Study of the Temple-Worship and Mythology of the Ancient Egyptians [Books]
... which a literature has been already brought together which is appalling in its extent; and yet it may well be that, vast as this literature is at present, it is but the vanguard of a much more stupendous one to follow, for we are dealing with a nation which we now know existed completely equipped in many ways at least seven thousand five hundred years ago. It forms no part of the present work to give an account of the unravelling to which I have referred, one which finds a counterpart in the results achieved by the spectroscope in another scientific field. But a brief reference to one of the most brilliant achievements of the century may be permitted, and ...
69. First Century: Visions Of Apocalypse. Ch.3 In Fear And Trembling (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... From "Mankind in Amnesia" © 1982 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents First Century: Visions Of Apocalypse In the middle of the fifteenth century before the present era the planet Earth passed through one of the greatest disasters ever and was scorched by fire and swept by hurricanes and huge tides. Seven hundred years later, in the days of Amos, Hosea, Joel and Isaiah, a new series of global upheavals- one disaster following another at short intervals- took place: the peoples of the Earth staggered at repeated close approaches of another aster. These two periods are described in Worlds in Collision. In the series of disasters between -776 and -687 the ...
70. F. X. Kugler -- Almost a Catastrophist [Journals] [SIS Review]
... books as recording the natural progression of the heavens over a period of time: "Nonnos has deliberately devised a highly fantastic picture of extreme confusion among the stars; the author of Sibyls, V, 512ff, on the other hand, has portrayed actual astral changes , as they come about according to the accepted order in the course of seven months, as the effect of a battle. This is, after all, a quite basic distinction. .. .There exists between the two works the greatest imaginable contradiction, which leaps to the eyes even before recognition of the unified plan of Sibyls, V, 512ff." (He regards obvious similarities between the two traditions ...
