... which signifies House of Horus' [23] captures perfectly the essence of the relationship of Venus and Mars as illustrated in fig. 1. The planet-goddess Hathor/Venus, as the Eye of Ra', literally housed the warrior Horus/Mars. It is little wonder, then, given the reconstruction offered here, that the Egyptian Pyramid and Coffin Texts implore the dead king, as Horus, to ascend the numinous celestial ladder in order to join Re and reign in the Mansion' of Hathor in the sky: I am Horus; give me the ladder which you gave to my father, so that I may ascend on it to the sky and escort [Re ...
512. New Fashions in Catastrophism [Books] [de Grazia books]
... because of the catastrophe. Many species were extinguished catastrophically. Religion was born in cometary worship and tied to phallic forms because of the shape of comets. Fear of cometary collisions is inherited by mankind. Vermin were deposited by comets, which also provoked plagues. Deities from Egypt, Greece, Meso-America, and elsewhere were identified with planets. Pyramids were both astronomical observatories and "air-raid shelters" for nobility and kings. Planet Saturn, as a comet, caused the Noachian Deluge. The Atlantis date (ca 9500 B.C .) given by Plato had to be shortened. Extensive legendary evidence pictures the "hairy," "bearded," "blazing star" symbolizing ...
... peoples of the earth is its relation to the settlement in the present Egypt, a colony of the Mizraimites in the first place, and hailing from Britain. It has been suggested that they were fugitives from the wrath of Heaven at the time of the Great Catastrophe and that their settlements on the Nile were almost wholly ecclesiastical; that their pyramids and mastabas were inspired by dread of destruction from on high on which the doctrine of Amenta was based. Egypt's greatest monuments, it is also claimed, such as the vast temple of Karnak, were erected only in the post-war period by a people conversant with the temple of Avebury in Wiltshire -or its system- hence the explanation of ...

... planet's movements. .. .. .Quetzalcoatl as Morning Star was a warrior and the patron god of a warrior society... ' [7 ]. As late as 900AD, the Puuc culture were building major structures aligned to significant rising points of Venus; the Governor's palace at Uxmal is so aligned as to sight across a pyramid 3 miles from the palace to the point where Venus would have risen at its maximum excursion as the morning star when the structure was completed [8a]. The ToltecMaya temple of Kukulkan, the Feathered Serpent, is the dominant monument of the city of Chichen Itza, dating from around 1000 AD, and is so designed as to ...
515. Karl Popper and Evolutionary Theory (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... , and as I explained, this is not sufficient information to determine the position of the pole, which could be many thousands of miles from Baffin Island. In any case, Velikovsky himself later retreated somewhat from the position taken on polar shifts in Worlds in Collision. "The present azimuth (orientation) of the sides of the Great Pyramid indicates that any disturbance in the geographical position of the poles since it was built must have been of a temporary character, the Earth's equatorial bulge acting as a stabilizer" (see "A Rejoinder to Burgstahler and Angino," Yale Scientific Magazine, April, 1967, p. 22; Velikovsky Reconsidered, pp.59-60). ...
516. Troy and the Greek Dark Age [Journals] [Kronos]
... and that I have proved the Iliad to be based upon real facts." (3 ) By the early 1890's new discoveries at Hissarlik had shown that Troy II, where Schliemann had found the great treasure, and which he confidently identified as the fortress of Priam, was in fact much more ancient: it was as old as the Pyramids, and it met its fiery end at the same time as the Egyptian Old Kingdom collapsed into anarchy.* [* Cf. A. de Grazia, "Paleo-Calcinology: Destruction by Fire in Pre-historic and Ancient Times," KRONOS I:4 , pp 25-36 and KRONOS II:1 , pp. 63-71. - LMG] ...
517. Radiocarbon Dating and Egyptian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... non-proven, there is no way that this tomb can be dated to the 6th century BC. For the other tomb, that of Roma Roy, who rose to the office of High Priest of Amun during the reigns of Ramesses II, Merenptah and Seti II, there are six dates obtained from organic material incorporated in the structure of the pyramid (Fig. 4) and which average at 1145 22 bc. Again, these dates show quite clearly that this tomb's date cannot be reduced to the 6th century BC. By contrast, we have two examples of radiocarbon dates taken from the mud-brick bonding of the enclosure wall of the Great Temple of Amun at Karnak, which is ...
518. Sagan's Folly Part 1 [Journals] [Kronos]
... be a most inept diffusionist argument against the thesis of Worlds in Collision and can scarcely account for the striking parallels found in Pre-Columbian catastrophic and legendary traditions and those of the Old World. On p. 10, Sagan refers to "the fact that the Toltec name for God' seems to have been Teo, ' as in the great pyramid city of Teotihuacan ( 'City of the Gods')." Nominally, Teotihuacan had nothing to do with the Toltecs, as Sagan seems to imply. "The name is Aztec, and roughly 600 years removed from the real (lost) name" (Kubler, op. cit., p. 327, ref. ...
519. The Intellectual Context of Velikovsky's Thought [Articles]
... was the pure relationships of numbers; that is to say, that the number four can be made into a square pattern, so can the number nine, so can the number 16 and 25, but these numbers can never be made into triangular patterns, whereas other numbers like one, three, six, ten can be made into pyramids, but never into squares. It was because you could destroy all the individual things these numbers represented, you can kill the four cows, you can throw all the four pebbles into the sea, but nevertheless that relationship, the fourness, would endure, hence medieval theologians studied number theory. The last part of the Quadrivium was ...

... chronology, tin bronze found in the Old Kingdom points to a first or second millennium placement of the Old Kingdom. In spite of the conventional chronology, the stratigraphy of the Old Kingdom Abydos relics together with those of the New and Middle Kingdom points to a first millennium placement of the Old Kingdom. In spite of the conventional chronology, pyramids with hard rock on them and inside of them point to the use of hardened iron, which only comes to be used in the first millennium and this requires a first millennium placement of the Old Kingdom. In spite of the conventional chronology, astronomical evidence places the 12th Dynasty of the Middle Kingdom in the first millennium. And even ...
