... , the All-god, to play upon the flute (see Index). He was blind like Teiresias,and his turning to stone, when compared with Daphne's becoming a tree, gives another junction of the tree and pillar-stone. Apollo was called Daphnian, not perhaps from the encounter with the nymph but from the daphne-tree itself or from its Syrian shrine and Artemis (Diana) herself was called Daphnaia. (Artemis of course had other tree-names. She was Kedreatis at Orchomenos where her images were hung on the hugest cedars. At Ephesos she had her sacred olives and her oaks, and at Delos her palm tree. There was also a miraculously-produced daphne or laurel of Maia the ...

... of habitation-a hiatus. ' [This is similar to the mud of the Pampas or Muck of the Arctic, but on a much smaller scale.] At Alaca Huyuk the transition from Middle Bronze to Late Bronze was marked by upheaval and destruction and the same may be said of every excavated site in Asia Minor.80 "On the Syrian coast and in the interior [Schaeffer writes], we find a stratigraphic and chronological rupture between the strata of the Middle Bronze and Late Bronze at Qalaat-er-Rouss, Tell Simiriyan, Byblos, and in the necropoles [graveyards] of Kafer-Djarra, Oraye, Majdalouna. ' All the necropoles examined in the upper valley of the Orontes creased to ...

'] The Egyptian shore of the Red Sea was called Typhonia (Fn: Strabo, vii, 3, 8). Strabo narrates also that the Arimi (Syrians) were terrified witnesses of the battle of Zeus with Typhon... who... when struck by the bolts of lightning, fled in search of a descent underground.

304. Genealogical Evidence for a Shortening of the Third Intermediate Period of Egypt [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... here seemingly "protecting" Israel and Judah- doubtless for an exorbitant price- did not, except possibly as a demonstration, seriously threaten Damascus, this would leave the source of Shoshenq I's evidently excellent return problematic if this was gained significantly after 850. The above reasoning appears to be extremely nicely corroborated by the great fear felt by a Syrian army of what they imagined to be the army of "the kings of the Egyptians" (plus that of the kings of the Hittites) in 2 Kings 7:6f., which is dated to c. 850-840 B.C .94 Note, to begin with, that the usual setting of this text in the shortly ...
... for that very same destruction which they had prevented from falling upon the others did they suffer themselves from them, as if they had been ready to be the actors against them. It would be too long for me to speak at this time of every destruction brought upon us; for you cannot but know that there was not any one Syrian city which did not slay their Jewish inhabitants, and were not more bitter enemies to us than were the Romans themselves; nay, even those of Damascus, (16) when they were able to allege no tolerable pretense against us, filled their city with the most barbarous slaughters of our people, and cut the throats of eighteen ...
... , by reason of the utter destruction and consumption of their sheep and goats, till they had no wool to make use of, nor any thing else to cover themselves withal. And when he had procured these things for his own subjects, he went further, in order to provide necessaries for their neighbors, and gave seed to the Syrians, which thing turned greatly to his own advantage also, this charitable assistance being afforded most seasonably to their fruitful soil, so that every one had now a plentiful provision of food. Upon the whole, when the harvest of the land was approaching, he sent no fewer than fifty thousand men, whom he had sustained, into ...
... of the Judges undermines another, and so on. All of them have one and the same obstacle to surmount: "Under any chronological system which can reasonably be advanced, the date of Israel's invasion and settlement falls within the period (1500-1100 before the present era) when the country was ruled by Egypt as an essential portion of its Syrian Empire."29 But if this is so, how could the Israelites have left Egypt, and, having left Egypt, how could they have entered Palestine? Moreover, why do the Books of Joshua and Judges, which cover four hundred years, ignore the rule of Egypt and, indeed, fail to mention Egypt at all ...
... as life-giving as Ardri Sura's, and that descends, not merely upon the fields of Lower Egypt, but, like Ardvt-Sura's, to the Underworld itself, refreshing " those who are in Amenti."6 The super-terrestrial portion of the Egyptian's Yggdrasil, therefore, like that of the Northman's, stands at the Arctic Pole. The Phoenicians, Syrians, and Assyrians had each their sacred tree in which the universe was symbolized.7 In the lost work of Pherecydes the former is represented as a " winged oak." 8 Over it was thrown the magnificent veil, or peplos, of Harmonia, on which were represented the all-surrounding Ocean with his rivers, the Earth with its ...

... C . Assyrian metal and pottery vessels." [30] So, also, with a signet ring found at Ezion-Geber: "[ It was inscribed] in the clearest possible ancient Hebrew characters, the following inscription: LYTM, belonging to Jotham'. Below the inscription there is a beautifully carved horned ram, which seems to be Syrian in style. In front of the ram seems to be the figure of a man." [31] There is at once a problem here: a beautiful carving in association with a questionable ideogram. Reason suggests that the other image, which could be taken for the figure of a man, was in fact something else, ...
