... is evident, had been subdued by a foreign power (" overthrown from without"). The term "they had no chief mouth for many years" implies that there was no king and no central government. Lawlessness prevailed. The papyrus continues. "Other times having come after it, with empty years, Arsa, a certain Syrian, was with them as chief. He set the whole land tributary before him together; he united his companions and plundered their possessions. They made the gods like men, and no offerings were presented in the temples." It was some time after this distressing epoch that king Setnakht (Usikhaure-meramun- setpenre Setnakhte-merrere-meramun), first pharaoh ...
202. Apollo and the Planet Mars [Journals] [Aeon]
... . (12) Indeed if one were looking for parallels to the Iliadic god of pestilence the ancient Near East would seem a good place to start, where the Semitic gods Reseph, Erra, and Nergal bear a striking resemblance to Homer's Apollo. Reseph, like Apollo, was notorious for his "plague-bringing" arrows, and in early Syrian and Egyptian iconography he is depicted with quiver and arrows (as was Apollo in Greek art). (13) Familiar from the Biblical passages in which he appears as a divine attendant of the Hebrew god (Habakkuk 3: 5, for example), Reseph is believed to have originated in Syria, but ultimately his cult made ...
203. Solomon and Sheba [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the great businessman and world trader sharing the trade of the ships of Tarshish' with Hiram of Tyre (10:22); receiving gifts from the kings of the earth' (vv. 23-25), who no doubt wanted a share in his trade; importing horses and chariots from Egypt and Cilicia and exporting them to Hittite and Syrian kings (vv. 28-29). This international-type scenario seems to be backed up by Senenmut's claim that the labour of all countries was under my charge'. During this period, the Scriptures do not say specifically that Solomon was in Jerusalem, so he may have spent a fair amount of his time abroad, e.g . ...
204. Experiments with Time. I: 'Catastrophes and Chronologies' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... dated by pollen analysis to about 1000BC' [9 ]. What unprecedented event could have caused such a severe climatic change and left this burning horizon' in the peat? At this time Ugarit was destroyed. In its ruins a text was found which read: The star Anat has fallen from heaven; he slew the people of the Syrian land and confused the two twilights and the seats of the constellations'. In Egypt, texts of Seti II (1000-995AC) record that: Sekhmet (the Egyptian name for Anat) was a circling star (comet) which spread-out his fire in flames, a fire-flame in his storm'. [10] The Medinet Habu texts ...
205. Chapter 17 Corroboration, Convergence, Analysis [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... chronology. Pottery dating based on the great trunk of Egyptian history with which all other ancient nations were forced into agreement, is based on a monumental failure. The pottery of Old Kingdom Abydos that Petrie placed in the fourth, and which present-day historians place in the third millennium B.C ., is undeniably Mycenaean, Aegean, and Syrian pottery of the first millennium B.C . Not only did Petrie freely admit this identification, but Dayton also fully proved that these pots belong in the first millennium. Not only does the evidence require that the Old Kingdom be placed in the first and not the third millennium, but, on the basis of cross-reference to Egypt, ...
206. The Poem of Erra [Journals] [Aeon]
... synonym for "war," "destruction," and "pestilence." Much the same phenomenon is attested among Latin writers, where the word Mars came to be used in the sense of "war," "battle," "fight," etc. (57) An analogous semantic development occurs in the cultus of the Syrian god Reseph, identified by leading scholars with the planet Mars. (58) Thus common meanings of reseph in Old Testament writings include "pestilence," "plague," and "flame." According to Fulco: "The meaning of rsp in the Old Testament, by way of demytholization, derived from the characteristics of the ...
207. Discussion Questions From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... be taken seriously in the long run. I will note several points from his article which bother me, and would welcome any comments either Heinsohn or others would care to make: 1) I think that with very little wasted space (as he did with Mari) Heinsohn could have established Ebla's role in the first millennium. A major Syrian city such as Ebla must have had at least a "ghost double" in the days of Sargon II. What did the Assyrians and other neighbouring people call it, and what is it called in our textbooks? 2) What is the relationship between the "Sumerian" -speaking kings of the Neo-Babylonian Empire and the seemingly Indo-European ...
208. Experiments with Time II: Synchronisms and Stratigraphies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Europe. Correlation by means of synchronisms can be used where written records are adequate; where these are sparse or non-existent, recourse has to be made to a different method - comparative stratigraphy. This approach was pioneered by Dr CFA Schaeffer, an eminent archaeologist, who spent many years between the wars excavating the ancient city of Ugarit on the Syrian coast which was a major focal point for trade routes by both land and sea. Its location could not be more appropriate to a linkage between the eastern Mediterranean and Europe since it is mid-way between the key countries of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece. Schaeffer noted that the stratification of Ugarit followed the same general pattern as that of other ...
209. Velikovsky and Racial Memory [Journals] [Aeon]
... root cause of anti-Semitism: It was fear and resentment that "the great catastrophe of tribulations, destructions and paroxysms of nature...was caused for the benefit of the sons of Israel." (7 ) Through an imaginative use of philology Freud also made much of his identification of Aten (in Egyptian) with Adonis (in Syrian) and Adonai (in Hebrew). (8 ) Velikovsky's comprehensive uses of phonetic similarity are legion; for instance he compared the Maruts (" the terrible ones") in the Vedas with the terrible one (" Aziz") in Joel and Isaiah, and then associated them both with Mars of the Romans and Ares of ...
210. Archetypes Showing The Presence of Anomalous Electromagnetic Activity [Journals] [SIS Review]
... connections of plasma and their resultant emission of electrical energy actually appeared in the sky, hence the ancient concept of the thunderbolt. Some graphic examples follow. Fig. 9 [29] shows an instrument of the god Mithras. It is identified as a thunderbolt and resembles the previously described vajra. Fig. 10 [30] depicts the Syrian god Hadad or Teshub's thunderbolt. Around the thunderbolt's core appear lines that resemble field lines. Fig. 11 [31] depicts a Cretan goddess holding the double axe. In Crete and Mycenae the symbolism of the double axe was significant: the palace at Minos was known as the Palace of the Double Axe, or the Labyrinth. ...
