... "sixth city" at Hissarlik, recognized as the fortress of Priam, king of the Trojans, fell because of earthshocks, a fact established in the excavation by the archaeological expedition of the University of Cincinnati. ' There are a number of theories concerning the cause of the earthquakes, but none of them is generally accepted. One connects ... over a prolonged period. But in comparison with the great catastrophes, when "heaven reeled," the local earthquakes received only slight attention. In the reports of the astrologers of Nineveh and Babylon, earthquakes are often mentioned in just a single line, as in the following message: "Last night there was an earthquake." The ...

... 12, or it could simply denote volcanic activity. With regard to the date of the Venus Tablets, Wayne A. Mitchell's solution with Year 1 as 1419 BC is archaeologically acceptable and it yields good agreement with the attested 30-day months of the Hammurabi Dynasty. On the other hand, it is not strictly speaking a solution of the Venus ... calendars, than they were with astronomical realities. To me, also, it has long appeared that the Dresden Codex is essentially only a ready reckoner for the use of astrologers, not an astronomer's almanac. Eric Aitchison's hypothesis of a neat' year of 365 days, whether sidereal as he claims or tropical (as he sometimes calculates and ...
233. Catastrophism and Anthropology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... renaissance of scientific catastrophism [50]. Since the end of the Second World War, experts have repeatedly attempted to estimate the extent to which the ancient reports and the archaeological documents about repeated destructions of the prehistoric highly developed civilisations are related to inter-regional or even global natural catastrophes. In 1948, Claude F. Schaeffer pointed out that the ...

... similar activities took place in extremely carefully choreographed blood rituals which emerged at the beginning of the Bronze Age. The holy precincts in which these sacrificial ceremonies were staged provide the archaeological markers by which the Bronze Age can be told apart from the Stone Age. The theory of religion is at a loss when it comes to understand this tremendous turn ... the ages very naturally give rise to the awesome sense of destiny amongst humankind which has pervaded to post-glacial rise of civilisation and sustained the discipline of both cosmology and theology. Astrologers and soothsayers (astronomers and priests) belonging to the last "dark age" eras are therefore foremost both in upholding the knowledge and experience of the predominant pre- ...
235. Moderating the Middle Ages [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of circumstances must be weighed against the fact that people only respond to situations in a limited number of ways: they make the same mistakes, as post-1300 history shows. Astrologers use this in equating recurring planetary configurations to recurring situations as a rational apology for their ideas; there are only so many themes in the whole of literature. Nevertheless ... is this sufficient reason to reject Fomenko's approach in every case? As the classical works of Greece and Rome first appeared in the 15th century AD and were previously unknown, Fomenko proposes that they were only composed shortly before then. Livy, the chief source for 700 years of Roman history, recorded it in 142 books, of which only ...

... high places, as military lookouts might be expected to be, the Adenas and Hopewells had no known enemies and no evidence of battles or military casualties were located in the archaeological record. In addition, rather than being scattered randomly on the Schoolcraft map, they form lines in groups of three or four with each other, the ceremonial circles ... mutually aligned for marking the solstice and possibly astronomical cycles involving the Moon, planets, or bright stars to mark other important festival days. There is some implication that the astrological lore of these people may have been complex. An inscription found in Europe in the same alphabet and language as the Grave Creek tablet has been translated as follows: ...

... musings. As one who has an interest in historicalgeography I continually find the case of Ebla instructive and try to remember that precise identification of ancient sites without excavation or other archaeological or clear linguistic corroboration is at best provisional. The other element in the historical-geography is the identification of the almost 1000 place names in and around Ebla. Most of ... had provided a foretaste of his new interpretation a few years ago to an attentive audience of the Canadian Society of Mesopotamian Studies in Toronto. It is with no disappointment or apology that I recommend the much expanded printed version of his lecture. Ever since the excessive claims made of the Ebla archive in the late 1970's I have chosen to wait ...

... planet exactly as we see it. Kaempffert ended his article with angry words about a theory that requires the rewriting of every textbook on astronomy, biology, geology, cultural anthropology, and ancient history.

The rising and setting of the planet was recorded systematically in the reign of King Ammizaduga, who ruled Babylonia in the sixteenth century B.C ., and priestly astrologers undoubtedly observed Venus generations before.
