... as "noga" in the original Hebrew. The case of Nergal's planetary identity is even worse. In his first volume Forrest confessed: " . . . I have not so far found any reference which links the god Nergal with the planet Mars. This may be because I haven't looked hard enough, or it may be because the Babylonians, unlike the Greeks and Romans, did not link their god of war to the planet Mars."(17) Apart from this clear proof that Forrest is prone to jump to conclusions. such admission of incompetence, despite its honesty, can hardly pass for scholarship. In the "Notes" section of the same volume, ...
262. Ninsianna Update [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. V No. 3 (Spring 1980) Home | Issue Contents Ninsianna Update Lynn E. Rose and Raymond C. Vaughan Copyright (C ) 1980 by Lynn E. Rose and Raymond C. Vaughan Our last detailed discussion of the Ninsianna or Venus fragments was in "Analysis of the Babylonian Observations of Venus", which we read at the Velikovsky Symposium at McMaster University in June, 1974, and which was later published in KRONOS, II, 2, pages 3-26. The Appendix to that paper was widely distributed at the Symposium in mimeographed form, and contained a reconstruction of the chronological parts of the Ninsianna document, that is, the ...
263. The Spring Of Ares [Journals] [Kronos]
... same Ares raises fundamental questions concerning the origins of Greek religion and myth.(9 ) That Ares was originally a celestial body is suggested by a Homeric hymn in which the god is described as a fiery sphere among the planets.(3 ) This fiery nature links Ares to Mars, described as the fiery planet par excellence in both Babylonian and Greek astronomy. And, in fact, this identification was made by the Greeks themselves as early as the fifth century B.C .( 4 ) Having already identified Kadmos with Saturn,(41) we are led to ask what connection there might have been between this planet and Ares/Mars. The celestial aspect of ...

And as, in burning wood, the burnt part is cast off with a crackling noise, so does the star [planet] throw off this celestial fire. . ." (269) That a similar belief was shared by the Babylonians, Pliny also recorded: "According to the doctrines of the Babylonians, earthquakes and clefts of the earth, and occurrences of this kind, are supposed to be produced by the influence of the stars [planets], especially of the three to which they ascribe thunder [bolts] ."

... . 2 (Winter 1984) Home | Issue Contents Humbaba Dwardu Cardona Copyright 1984 by Dwardu Cardona Humbaba, as he is called in the Assyrian version of the Sha Naqba Imuru, commonly referred to as the Epic of Gilgamesh, is the giant whom the hero of that epic and his friend Enkidu set out to destroy. In the Old Babylonian and Hittite versions, this giant is called Huwawa. He is described as "a sevenfold terror to mortals" with the roaring of a flood-storm. "His mouth is fire, his breath is death."(l ) More than being a giant, Stephen Langdon informs us that Huwawa "is invariably called a god in the ...
267. The Origin of Mankind [Books]
... . When eventually, the myth continues teleologically, a city came to be built at the place where those eikones, or human likenesses, were moulded, it was named Iconium. The Melanesian inhabitants of Mota, one of the Banks Islands, tell that the creator-deity fashioned a considerable number of their ancestors, but only men. Also the Babylonians had a myth which told that a greater number of human beings were created at the same time. The Sumerian goddess who created the first human beings out of clay was suitably called Mama. Mama was also the appellation given to the Babylonian supreme goddess Nintud, when addressed as the creatrix of the first man out of clay. Khnum ...

... said that you had a comment. HUBER: Oh. [laughter] I really have to answer Dr. Velikovsky's comments on my talk. And here it's really the matter of the length of the month and those intercalary months. First of all, I realize that the many members of the audience did not quite get the point that Babylonian months are lunar months. The beginning of the month is determined by the first visibility of the lunar crescent. So the months are sometimes twenty-nine days long, sometimes thirty days long, irregularly. And the question is, whether there was a thirty-day month at any time. And indeed there are thirty-day months, mainly in the latest ...
270. Early History of the Israelite People: Biblical Fundamentalism in History (I) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... the destruction of Samaria and Nineveh. Even when he assigns the regnal period of "Nebuchadnezer II (605-562 BC)" (9 ) to the -7th or -6th century, he is using fundamentalist dates for Judah. Yet, he probably knows that Hebrew literature is silent between -400 and -200, and that the best record on the "Babylonian Exile" (Daniel) dates from the -2nd century. Such a late book would point to the Persian period, no earlier, for exilic memories. It would also indicate that the 200 silent years are due to chronological errors and not to a petrification of the Jewish mind. After all, one of the Persian emperors, Artaxerxes ...
