1. On testing The Polar configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... Saturn now appears as a bare speck in the sky, we should find, amongst all peoples with adequately preserved planetary traditions, a mysterious association of the enclosed sun with the planet Saturn and the celestial Pole. (39) 4. The ancient sun-god stood in the center of a luminous enclosure. The Egyptian sun god dwells within the Aten, whose hieroglyph is the universal symbol of the enclosed sun . (40) The Babylonian Shamash occupies the center of a revolving, wheel-like celestial enclosure. (41) The Hindus celebrated the wheel of the sun god Surya, and in art the god is presented in the center of a fiery wheel-as is also the true sun Brahma ...
2. Egyptian Influence Upon Early Israelite Literature [Journals] [Aeon]
... First Cataract on the Nile River. [8 ] The conquest narrative of Joshua 1-11 will be investigated in view of the "Annals of Tuthmosis III"as inscribed on the Temple of Amon-Re at Karnak. [9 ] This study will also draw parallels between Psalm 104, a praise hymn to Yahweh, and the "Hymn to the Aten" discovered on the walls of the tomb of Ay at Tell el-Amarna. [10] Many of the wisdom passages in Proverbs will be shown to parallel the "Instruction of Amenemope" written in hieratic on the British Museum Papyrus 10474. [11] The Existence Of An Historic Israel The first question that must be pondered when examining ...
3. The Ship of Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... sail round heaven like Thoth." (23) While Ra's image is the enclosed sun , the common symbol of Thoth is the crescent-enclosure . Allowing the one image to explain the other, we see that Unas does not here engage in two separate acts, but in a single act depicted in two different ways: to revolve within the Aten is to sail in the crescent ship of Thoth. "I stand up in thy enclosure, O Maa; I sail round about," reads the Book of the Dead. (24) From such declarations as this, together with other evidences cited below, it is clear that to enter the sun god's enclosure is to enter ...
4. RECONSTRUCTING THE SATURN MYTH [Journals] [Aeon]
... , from start to finish, a key to unraveling the mystery of the great father and Golden Age. The World Wheel The celestial enclosure produced in the creation appeared as a great turning wheel hanging immense in the sky, with the sun god stationed as the axis or pivot of the revolving circumference. The Egyptians called the great wheel the Aten, recorded hieroglyphically by the symbol of the enclosed sun . Among the most common images in the Egyptian lexicon, the Aten is also one of the most misrepresented- simply because the sign has no intelligible meaning today. Most Egyptologists translate the Aten as "the sun" or as an innocuous "disk of the sun," a horrendous ...

... Trojan. C: Babylonian. D: Babylonian sharu- "wind." E: Mexican "Four Winds." F: Ideogram for mehu- "storm wind." G: Chinese. H: Hindu. I: Arapaho. J, K, & L: Greek. M to R: North American Indian. THE ATEN AEON: What about the Aten which, years ago, Professor Greenberg identified as Venus? (8 ) Talbott: Many of the symbolic connections with respect to the Radiant Venus will be missed only because the possibility of concrete references would be inconceivable to the modern observer. In Egyptian representations of Akhenaton, we see the rays of the ...
6. The Evolution of the Cosmogonic Egg [Journals] [Aeon]
... millennia later, easily lent themselves to translation as "heaven" and "earth." Nor is this misunderstanding to be laid entirely at the door of modern mythologists for the ancients themselves, not having witnessed what their more ancient forebears had, eventually fell into the same trap. This can be further substantiated through a study of the Egyptian Aten which Talbott has ably demonstrated to have originally stood for the circle, or band, visually seen to surround the primeval Saturn. (171) That the Aten was also visualized as an egg is demonstrated by the laudation of the primeval deity as "you in your egg, shining in your Aten." (172) As Talbott ...
7. Mother Goddess and Warrior-Hero (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... Great Flame" they add a third comet glyph to the equation. And though there is much remaining to be said on this story, its conclusion is clear: when the raging serpent was pacified, it had wrapped itself around the sun god as the god's crown, throne or temple, its body now inseparable from the band of the Aten. (As in the sign , noted in previous articles.) In the myth of Shu and Tefnut, while Shu is spit out to become the pillar, the goddess Tefnut (whose name Hait preserves her connection to the hat-heart) becomes the sun-enclosing band- the same band which, in the parallel symbolism of other accounts, ...
8. The Saturn Thesis (Part 3) [Journals] [Aeon]
... the Egyptian goddess to the warrior-hero. In Egyptian art the Uraeus-Eye is commonly presented in a unique relationship to a red stone or sphere, signi-fying the sun god's innermost, masculine "heart of carnelian." In this relationship the Uraeus does not look like a sphere but a narrow band. The same form appears in familiar representations of the Aten and of the Shen-bond. But in all three instances the common form is a white, gold or turquoise band around a red disk, stone or orb. This red orb never means "goddess." Hiero-glyphically the red disk, the "heart of car-nelian," means the warrior hero, the mas-culine ab-heart of Ra. So ...
9. The Beginning of Time [Journals] [Aeon]
... ) This symbol, a circle with a dot in the center, with which the readers of this journal should be quite familiar, also known to mythologists as "the male seed-point or bindu," (56) was extensively used by the ancient Egyptians as one of their numerous hieroglyphs. It stood, among other things, for the Aten which Talbott has long identified as the Saturnian band (57) and which was also equivalent to the cosmic egg as indicated by the laudation of the primeval deity as "you in your egg, shining in your Aten." (58) What is, however, of even more interest to the present study is that the same ...
10. Velikovsky and Racial Memory [Journals] [Aeon]
... further and insisted that mere jealousy was not the root cause of anti-Semitism: It was fear and resentment that "the great catastrophe of tribulations, destructions and paroxysms of nature...was caused for the benefit of the sons of Israel." (7 ) Through an imaginative use of philology Freud also made much of his identification of Aten (in Egyptian) with Adonis (in Syrian) and Adonai (in Hebrew). (8 ) Velikovsky's comprehensive uses of phonetic similarity are legion; for instance he compared the Maruts (" the terrible ones") in the Vedas with the terrible one (" Aziz") in Joel and Isaiah, and then associated them ...

... , His Mouth, His Eye Fig. 2 Amun Ra. Note plumed ladder-like headdress with bifurcated top; all important polar configuration features. "[ He] has made all that exists, From his eyes mankind came forth And the gods from his mouth..." [8 ] The Egyptian creator-sun-god was known by many names: Aten, Amen-Ra (Fig. 2), Atum, Ptah and Osiris. First it was Tem/Temu/Atum, then Ra/Re who "usurps the place occupied by the more ancient form Temu, but before the close of the VIth dynasty Osiris had taken his place...as the greatest of the gods. ...
