... buildings as well as] all the kings of the West land living in tents, brought their heavy tributes and kissed my feet in Babylon." [42] Rather than coming from the Persian heartland, as imagined by Heinsohn, the nomadic Martu are clearly represented as coming from the "West"- i.e ., the Syrian desert region where most scholars have sought their original homeland. Heinsohn's treatment of the text here is shoddy in the extreme if not downright deceptive. Darius as Lawgiver Shamash- the god of Hammurabi- and his symbol. (From the relief of Nabupaliddina, Sippar, ancient Babylonia.) Given Hammurabi's renown as a lawgiver, Heinsohn is ...
212. The Double Axe and the Celestial Twins [Journals] [Aeon]
... up in Tenedos and in several cities in the south-west of Asia Minor, and it appears in later historical times in the cult of the thundergod of Asia Minor (Zeus Labrayndeus). An impression from a seal-stone shows the double-axe placed together with a zigzag line, which represents the flash of lightning..." [6 ] The Syrian Dolichenus, too, was shown with a double-headed axe and a cluster of lightning flashes. [7 ] He was identified with Zeus as Zeus Dolichenus in classical times. Greek testimony of the double axe goes back to the Minoan epoch. "The double-axes...are placed on pillars encircled with foliage, probably a representation of ...
213. Heracles as Cross-Dresser [Journals] [Aeon]
... the imperious Omphale, Queen of Lydia. If we suppose that Queen Omphalia, like Queen Semiramis, was nothing but the great Asiatic goddess, or one of her avatars, it becomes probable that the story of the womanish Hercules of Lydia preserves a reminiscence of a line or college of effeminate priests who, like the eunuch priests of the Syrian goddess, dressed as women in imitation of their goddess and were supposed to be inspired by her. The probability is increased by the practice of the priests of Hercules at Antimachia, in Cos, who, as we have just seen, actually wore female attire when they were engaged in their sacred duties. Similarly at the vernal mysteries ...
214. A Different View on the Chronology of Hazor [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... describe stone slabs used in the lower part of a building as panels or dados. This was not the first time we had uncovered orthostats in Hazor. But these orthostats with two holes on top were intriguing, because they are most commonly associated with Anatolia, particularly the Hittite capital of Hattushash (present day Bogaskoy), and some northern Syrian sites that were in the sphere under Hittite influence, such as Alalakh. In later periods of the neo-Hittite era, at the beginning of the first millennium BC, they were abundantly used in sites such as Zinjirli and Carchemish either as a base for the superstructure or to line the inner facing of thick brick walls.10 Here Yadin ...
215. Scarab in the Dust: Egypt in the Time of the Twenty-First Dynasty [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... it to be contemporaneous with the Twenty-fifth Ethiopian Dynasty, the Assyrian conquests of Egypt, and the Twenty-sixth Dynasty ruling at Sais. Wen-Amon As has been remarked, the priest Wen-Amon had a humiliating and difficult time on his diplomatic mission: [18] The misfortunes that befell him on the way, the intolerance and disdain he encountered in the Syrian cities because of his Egyptian origin and citizenship, the lack of protection when on the high seas, are vividly described in the diary of his journey. Held in contempt at Byblos, Wen-Amon was nevertheless a man of consequence at Thebes: [19] As an emissary of the high priest Herihor, Wenamon must have had some prominence ...
216. Did Artaxerxes III Despoil The Temple In Jerusalem? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Egypt. These are three cylinders of terra-cotta bearing an inscription of Nebuchadnezzar, an ordinary text referring to his constructions in Babylon .. . These were said to come from the Isthmus of Suez and they apparently belong to some place where Nebuchadrezzar had set up his throne' and spread his royal pavilion. ' As he only passed along the Syrian road, and Daphnae would be the only stopping place on that road in the region of the isthmus, all the inferences point to these having come from Defenneh, and being the memorials of establishment there' [8 ]. In short, the prophecy of Jeremiah that the king of Babylon would spread his royal pavilion at the entrance ...
217. The Correct Placement of Haremhab in Egyptian History [Journals] [Kronos]
... of another group of Egyptian dignitaries; he and the rest of them display obeisance by bending their bodies before the king whose likeness is not preserved. Haremhab, though in front of those who pay homage, is not depicted larger than the others in the group; he also has no diadem on this bas-relief. Dignitaries of foreign lands, Syrians being prominent among them, are also shown paying homage and affirming their role as vassals to the king, whose likeness is destroyed. The text, reconstructed by Gardiner, makes it appear that the foreign chiefs availed themselves to Haremhab's good standing with the king to assure him of their loyalty: Words spoken to His Majesty - - when ...
218. Stiebing, BAR, and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... any evidence of Solomon's position as "a great merchant prince";(16) Pritchard described the so-called "Solomonic cities" of the Iron Age as "more like villages", which "suggest a cultural level which was apparently lacking in both artistic sophistication and wealth".(17) This should be contrasted to the rich "Syrian" civilisation of the LBA discovered by Thutmose III, whom Velikovsky identifies with Pharaoh Shishak. Other implications, such as the redating (and re-attribution) of so-called "Philistine" ware, and many other questions relating to specific sites, such as Samaria, would take too much space to discuss even in outline here. These, and ...
219. The Lion Gate At Mycenae Revisited [Journals] [SIS Review]
... owing to the existing state of historical/ chronological affairs [76]. The Gordian knot of art historical controversy is not so easily cut, either. As Demargne has put it: To what extent was the Mycenaean world influenced by Syria or Egypt either directly or via Cyprus .. Conversely, to what extent were the civilizations of the Syrian towns, of the Egypt of Amarna and the XIXth Dynasty, accessible to Aegean influences? ' [77]. Nevertheless, one thing is certain and that is the fact that according to'?the now accepted art historical framework, we have a renowned work of monumental sculpture which timewise exists in apparent splendid isolation' and alien ...
220. Agronomy and Climatology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... most of its course, making it difficult to divert water [for irrigation] from it. Only along its southernmost stretch [near the Persian Gulf] does it rise above the level plain. The Euphrates, because it travels a much greater distance from its sources, loses almost half of its own water through evaporation and seepage in the Syrian desert, so it arrives on the southern Mesopotamian plain at a much lower speed. Because of its more sluggish pace and greater load of silt [gathered over its longer journey] the Euphrates deposits more sediment and tends to run above the plain rather than cut into it, and it forms high levees' [13]. Floods ...
