... being typical of this portion of Genesis, but which can be explained only from Egyptian. Added to these, according to Yahuda, are "other highly significant Egyptian influences on the composition, style and mode of narration," and on many conceptions concerning the well-known stories of Genesis such as the Creation, the Flood, and even the Tower of Babel. One can only conclude, he says, "that the whole pre-Egyptian narrative, too, was written from an Egyptian perspective" [12]. The Egyptian Elements (i ) In the Creation Story The Hebrew word bereshith' with which the Creation story begins, is found on closer examination to be an exact adaptation ...

The sounds skr' were used throughout the Mediterranean world. In Babylonia there were towers (durr), whose name sounds the same as the Latin turris'; the shrine on a Tower of Babel' is a saharu'. The Hebrew seghor, axe, Latin securis, extends the list. David's dance, wearing a linen ephod (2 Samuel VI:14), is not the only instance of a dance before an ark. Egyptian pharaohs also danced.

29. A LATER DATE FOR THE PHAETHON EVENT? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ), and times it shortly after sunrise on a day close to the mid-summer solstice. Patten et al., suggest that the Phaethon event may have similarities with the long day of Joshua, and they time this as happening in the autumn (October in fact), making it a "case two" event like that of the Tower of Babel (2 ) . According to Velikovsky, the Phaethon incident was caused by Venus, an identification which I shall accept without demur. However, Venus seems to have caused most of its havoc at the Spring Equinox (in Nisan) rather than the Summer Solstice (in Tammuz). However, Patten et al. seem ...
30. Man's Divine Mirror [Books] [de Grazia books]
... sky-topping mountains, their cosmic trees, their pillars of heaven, and many sacred paths by which souls can ascend and angels descend. When the constructions threaten the gods, the gods destroy them. So it happened with the giants who piled Ossia upon Pelion to reach Zeus, who, however, overthrew everything, and as happened with the Tower of Babel, which the Hebrew Lord sent crashing by lightning and quaking. But this is a sublime challenge, someone may object; an ordinary act is not divine, for example, excretion. But urine is a word from Uranus who copiously watered the earth in earliest times; and gold is the excrement of the gods to some ...

In chronological order, these catastrophes, as per Patten, et al., were originally presented as having been the following: the Noachian deluge (circa 2500 B.C .) ; the Tower of Babel catastrophe (1930 B.C .) ; the Sodom and Gomorrah catastrophe (1877 B.C .) ; the Exodus catastrophe (1447 B.C .) ; the long day of Joshua (1404 B.C .) ; the "greater" Davidic catastrophe (972 B.C .) ; the ...

ROSE: knitting together and explaining such traditions as the Counter-Earth, the "music of the spheres", the "cosmic tree" and the Tower of Babel, this treatise proposes a fascinating cosmology for the Age of Kronos which defies description in few words and must be read. In "The Not So Stable Sun", EARL R. MILTON suggests that the sun's energy and stability are externally determined, with important consequences for planetary cosmogony.

38. Book Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... destruction of the world's megaliths depends very much on (a ) the overall violence of the catastrophe and (b ) the solidity of the structure of these edifices. Also, as noted in No. 1, it seems doubtful if these structures predated any but the Venusian catastrophe, which latter was less damaging than the Genesis catastrophes. The Tower of Babel is a possible exception, but anyway, this was destroyed by The Lord'. Point No. 3 is only valid if Mooney's definition of a comet is inclusive of all comets. Point No. 4 depends, of course, on the degree of proximity by which one body comes into contact with another. Other readers ...

About the Tower of Babel? * When did the races of man originate? And how? * What was the "fire" that failed to consume Moses' Burning Bush? - that gave light above the Israelite Tabernacle during the Exodus? * And much more!

... be destroyed in time. "He made several worlds before ours, but He destroyed them all." This earth, too, was not created at the beginning to satisfy the Divine Plan. It underwent reshaping, six consecutive remouldings. New conditions were created after each of the catastrophes. On the fourth earth lived the generation of the Tower of Babel; we belong to the seventh age. Each of the ages or "earths" has a name. Seven heavens were created and seven earths were created: the most removed, the seventh, Eretz; the sixth, Adamah; the fifth, Arka; the fourth, Harabah; the third, Yabbashah; the second ...

... have of the biblical Nimrod, supplemented by Midrashic sources, is somewhat different. Nimrod was a mighty king; a hunter and warrior who ruled from the city of "Ur Kasdim" (" Ur of the Chaldees"). He was the first king in history; he declared himself a god, and was the force behind the Tower of Babel. Stories of his conflicts with the patriarch Abraham (before Abraham left Ur) abound. The conclusion is apparent. Nimrod's self-deification was so successful that even modern Assyriologists consider him to have been a god. The irony of Tukulti-"Ninurta" as the prototype of Nimrod is increased when it is realized that this king's ...

... the stark finality of the printed word. (And therein lies the germ of an idea on the origin of writing, of language, and indeed, possibly even of speech itself.) I would like to suggest, if no one else has already done so, that the confusion of tongues, mentioned in the biblical account of the Tower of Babel, refers to a catastrophic origin of speech and writing born of a desperate necessity to overcome the sudden breakdown in the previous means of communication (Telepathy?). But that is by the way. The vast assemblage of contentious bones lying around in Derek Douglass' "aquatic graveyard" will provide rich pickings for many readers ...

Then he found three shorter interrelated cycles of 260, 130 and 52 years, based on eg the Flood, the Tower of Babel, Sodom, the Exodus, and from 1486BC (the long day of Joshua') further minor catastrophes every 90 years and, between 1126 and 616, every 30 years. David Salkeld mentioned that Clube and Napier had suggested possible linkages between cyclical patterns in the geological and fossil records and eg the rate at which the ...

It may be that the legend of the Tower of Babel refers to an event far anterior in time even to the deluge of Noah or Deucalion; or it may be, as often happens, that the chronology of this legend has been inverted. The Tahoe legend continues "Half a moon had not elapsed, however, before the earth was again troubled, this time with strong ...

... writers, from biblical scholars to religious zealots. The discovery of the similarities between Old Testament narratives and cuneiform accounts had caused a commotion among interpreters of the Bible, whether scholarly or not; much of what was published was irrational or irresponsible, and there was some outright exploitation of the interest of the general public. The excavation of the Tower of Babel which was then being planned by German archaeologists, seemed to be symbolic of the situation; in Germany one spoke jokingly of Babel und Bibel, a phrase which in English was expanded into Babel, Bible, and babble. ' The German scholars, who were the world leaders in developing the new field of cuneiform studies, ...
