54. The Laughing Gods [Books] [de Grazia books]
... different names in different cultures, he was represented often by various animals, especially by monkeys, in Egypt for instance, among the Gauls, and in India. Hanuman, the Indian monkey-god, once became as resplendent as the sun and moved whole mountains. The planet is suspected of having played a major role in the destruction of the Tower of Babel; there in Babylon it was called Nebo and emperors carried his name in theirs. A Jewish legend says that the survivors of the disaster and fire were turned into monkeys. The recollection may have arisen from a gibberish, the confounding of tongues, following upon mass electroshock; it may also have pertained to many physiognomic changes ...

... the loss of the old Earth And the, death of the majority of living beings. Before we continue, let us survey the chief theories which have been advanced to explain the mythological subject matter of the Book of Genesis. One we may term the Literary Theory. According to it the stories of the Creation, the Deluge, the Tower of Babel, the Loss of Eden, etc, Were, freely invented by the scribes who had been commissioned to write the history of the Jewish nation and who, endeavouring to begin at the beginning, had somehow to fill the blank which they found when they had core to the earliest historical records. This theory, however, ...

... dealt at all extensively with the subject. Darkness is very much a part of the Biblical catastrophes. In the story of the Lord's visit to Abram and ordering of sacrifices may be seen the sixth catastrophe mentioned in the Bible (after the Creation, the Garden of Eden expulsion, the Deluge, Job's trials, and the destruction of the Tower of Babel). There Abram fell asleep at twilight and a "great fear and darkness" came upon him. And in the darkness "a smoking furnace and blazing torch passed."[15] Later on occur the catastrophes of Sodom and Gomorrah, Joseph (Egyptian famine), Exodus, Joshua, David, Elijah, ...

... of childbirth. Perhaps he was called "lucky Mercury" because he avoided the fate of Apollo, but more so because the Earth was lucky to have avoided colliding with him. The small planet came close to Earth, on occasion, and treated the globe to electrical shocks that unsettled the minds of people. The Biblical story of the Tower of Babel seems to be saying so. The Greek Hermes puts people to sleep and awakens them; he is an arch-deceiver. wizard, patron of magic. Table 30 attempts to arrange some notable events to help in general orientation. Everywhere, writes Schaeffer of the early Middle Bronze Age, the newcomers were few, weak, and ...

... science of astronomy and planetary deities. He is a pupil of the Sumerian astronomer Sem and is himself "an outstanding man skilled in astronomy."3 He is able to calculate the leap years. He is able to predict catastrophe- e.g . the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. He has connections with the builders of the Tower of Babel, an astronomical observatory. The ruler Nimrod is warned about him by the priest-astronomers (astrologers) who refer to him as an enemy of the planetary religion.4 He deals with one God only who is invisible and eternal. He leaves his birthplace and has to change his way of life into a nomadic society where he ...

... them, he called, "Beware of Israel, who bear the sign of the covenant upon their bodies." [34] God caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind, the wind He always makes use of when He chastises the nations. The same east wind had brought the deluge; it had laid the tower of Babel in ruins; it was to cause the destruction of Samaria, Jerusalem, and Tyre; and it will, in future, be the instrument for castigating Rome drunken with pleasure; and likewise the sinners in Gehenna are punished by means of the east wind. All night long God made it to blow over the sea. ...

... Baal, on Mt. Carmel. The occasion was October 24, 864 B.C .E ., when Jupiter once again was in the dreaded Cancer and Saturn was in the feared Capricorn. (Saturn was in Capricorn every fifth October flyby, including the Long Day of Joshua, 1404 B.C .E . and the Tower of Babel Holocaust, 1944 B.C .E .) The two parties agreed that the deity who answered with fire, He was God. The first turn went to the priests of Baal, who danced, lanced themselves, bled red and generally went into an ecstatic war dance for their chief deity. Nothing happened. In ...

... 9:9 and Amos 5:8 ). It is agreed that both Nefilah and Gabbara denote Orion. The Aramaic and Syrian names of Orion have been connected with the ancient Oriental tradition that Nimrod (hero and mighty hunter: see Gen. 10:8-9) was fettered in the sky by God for his obstinacy in building the tower of Babel. According to the Babylonian Jewish scribe, doctor and astronomer Samuel (d . 257 AD), the one Talmud teacher who was also an astrology adept: "If a comet should pass over Orion, the world would end" (33). He continues with the curious comment: "If it were not for ...
... would seem that the King's Chamber was placed for some good reason over 16 feet to the south of centre, the probable explanation being that any celestial impact was expected to come from the North. There need be, after all, no great mystery about the object of the pyramids. Have we not the evidence of the reason why the Tower of Babel, another pyramid, was erected? Josephus says: "And by reason of the multitude of hands employed on it (the tower] grew very high, but the thickness of it was so great, and it was so strongly built, that thereby its great height seemed to be less than it really was. It ...

He thinks the tower is in a remote region of eastern Turkey and not in Mesopotamia as normally thought. Three anomalies beneath the waters of the northern end of the Dead Sea could be the remains of the cities of the plain which were swallowed up by a massive earthquake. A Texan oilman, however, thinks they ...

... of Genesis on which certain of their arguments are based. Having shown that both these viewpoints are faulty, he attempts to outline an alternative. After giving a brief account of Velikovskian catastrophism, the author gives his thoughts on a variety of subjects from the time of the Flood in the geological column (beginning of the Holocene), the Tower of Babel, the origin of races, and the Tabernacle. This second half of the book is disjointed and largely unconvincing, and falls short of an alternative explanation to either the neo-Darwinian or the Creationist view points. The objections to the neo-Darwinian synthesis are cited briefly by the author. These include the fact that mutations are mostly disorderly ...
66. A Cosmic Debate [Books] [de Grazia books]
... our capacity to abstract the categories of time, space and individuality? The assumption of revolutionary primevalogy is that humanity developed in great leaps, under circumstances of extreme physical and social stress. From this field of psycho-sociology, one enters the field of language, linguistics, and symbols. Here, too, occurs a universal tongue. The biblical Tower of Babel story is not a unique representation of a unity and subsequent dispersal of languages groups. Does the behavior of "The Gods" cause language to diversify quickly, and yet at other times to freeze its forms of meanings? Theology is the heir of terrible experiences. It was the conceptual battering ram that integrated animal and celestial ...
67. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... (2 ) if the ancients are to be believed, modern conceptions of astrophysics must be revised. Jan Sammer, like Clark Whelton and Charles Ginenthal, drove up from New York. Jan presented a paper on the ancient mythology associated with the planet Mercury. Taking his cue from Velikovsky's thesis that the smallest planet was linked to the various Tower of Babel legends, he argued that a systematic comparison of Mediterranean and Mesoamerican World Age systems leads to the identification of Mercury with Quetzalcoatl, and submitted this identification as a test of the validity of his comparative method. While I have serious reservations about Mercury's involvement with any Tower of Babel-like episode, there is little doubt that, as ...
68. Paradise -- The Lost Frontier: Early Voyages to the Forbidden Isles [Journals] [Aeon]
... Even the concept of "discovery" overlooked the presence of pagans in new lands, for it referred only to the first conquest by Christians. Christian cosmographers excelled in portraying Biblical geography on mappamonds, or stylized "wheel maps," that showed the locations of Biblical events, important allies, and the dwelling places of Biblical demons. The Tower of Babel, the landing site of Noah's ark, Prester John, and the denizens of Gog-magog were common embellishments on these mappamonds. The practice of determining historical significance based upon factors related to Church dogma and the Divine City has played a profound role in the interpretation of past events. Following the return of Columbus in 1493, European ...

... image in detail in Solaria Binaria.) The seasons begin; it must be now the period of the gods Jupiter-Jehovah, the Jovean Age I have elsewhere termed it. In a later incident, the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are destroyed by a fall of fire and brimstone and swallowed up. Then, as earlier described, the Tower of Babel succumbed to fire in part. During and after the Exodus, repeated references to the heavenly fire are encountered. It comes in all its forms; lightning, gas blasts, burning naphtha falls. These are elaborately treated by Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision and by the present author in God's Fire: Moses and the Management of ...

In reconstructing the prehistory of consciousness, Jaynes ranges freely over continents and millennia and takes hundreds of pages to do it. Considering this scope and the detail into which he goes, I find it surprising that he ignores such concrete, ...
... as the light emitted by the sun, the moon, and the stars, which appeared only on the fourth day. The light of the first day was of a sort that would have enabled man to see the world at a glance from one end to the other. Anticipating the wickedness of the sinful generations of the deluge and the Tower of Babel, who were unworthy to enjoy the blessing of such light, God concealed it, but in the world to come it will appear to the pious in all its pristine glory.[19] Several heavens were created,[20] seven in fact,[21] each to serve a purpose of its own. ...

From this field of psycho-sociology, one enters the field of language, linguistics, and symbols. Here, too, occurs a mysterious invention. Tantalizing evidence occurs of a once universal tongue. The biblical Tower of Babel story is not a unique representation of a unity and subsequent dispersal of language groups.

... of the issue. Ellenberger's egocentric concerns were and are always paramount- as if KRONOS and its kind existed solely to satisfy him. With such an individual, one is in a Catch-22 situation, for he can never be satisfied. Let us now examine the body of Ellenberger's potpourri- and what a potpourri it is! Like a modern Tower of Babel, Ellenberger piles citations from the likes of Gingerich, Goldsmith, Mulholland, and Morrison- all of whom were discredited long ago in the pages of Pensee and KRONOS- on top of hearsay from friends and acquaintances (Van Flandern and O'Keefe), and then adds an abundance of mainstream references, unsupported speculations, erroneous conclusions ...
74. The Origin and Decay of the Earth's Geomagnetic Field [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Saturn was also in Cancer during a catastrophe, strengthening and adding to the expansive and warping influence of Jupiter. It so happens that Saturn and Jupiter coincided during the Long Day of Joshua, October 1404 B.C . It seems there was another coinciding of Saturn with Jupiter in October 1944 B.C ., the situation when the Tower of Babel collapsed. Yet another occasion was in October 2484 B.C ., in the time of Noah- that catastrophe-minded ship's carpenter. Each of these three events was a particularly close flyby. (Saturn happens to be in 2:5 orbital resonance with Jupiter.) Twin Spin Axis Rates and Tilts In the late October ...

Burnaburiash If a reader who has had the singular luck to be trained to respect facts ahead of fathers wants to behold a modern parallel to the Bible legend of the polyglot sky-flouting tower of Babel, he could do no better than survey the global literature concerning Babylonia, in particular the clashes and confusions of the experts on its relations to Egypt and Assyria. Let the reader endure, for example, a comparison of Olmstead, who makes the Pharaoh Akhnaton trade with Ashurubalit I, patriarch of the Assyrian empire, with ...
