... . The conclusion then is that Tiglath-Pileser is the same as Pul, therefore Tiglath-Pileser and Menahem must have ruled at the same time. The name problem is resolved by showing that Tiglath-Pileser, in his last two years was also king of Babylon, and like other kings before him he took a different name for his kingship in Babylon. The Babylonian king lists usually show this name as Pulu. The authorities then tell us that Tiglath-Pileser was also known as Phulus or Poros, which in turn in translated to Pulu in the king lists, and in turn means Pul as shown in the Bible. The Assyrian records, coupled with the flawless logic of our historians, make a compelling ...
302. The Origin of Velikovsky's Comet [Journals] [Kronos]
... dweller in his fiery serpent".(25a) Examples of this enclosing serpent will be found in every section of the world. Where information is sufficient to allow planetary identifications, the god so enclosed turns out to be Saturn. Hence, in the great systems of astral mythology the sun-like "great father" - whether it is the Babylonian Ninurta or Tammuz, their Egyptian counterparts Ra, Atum or Osiris, the Phoenician El, Hindu Vishnu, Greek Kronos, or Mexican Quetzalcoatl - always rests within the fold of a giant serpent or dragon. Often, the serpentine creature appears with its tail in its mouth, as in the case of the famous Greek Ouroboros. Velikovsky ...
303. Squaring the Circle -- An Esoteric Tradition? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... and confuses myth with a dim recollection of historical events, and therefore cannot be relied upon. On the other hand, classical authors are assumed to be objective reporters of facts even where, like Manetho, they have an obvious partisan purpose. In Manetho's case it is the attempt to show the greater antiquity of Egyptian culture than the rival Babylonian culture as presented by his contemporary, Berossus. It is probable that such Enlightenment propagandists as Voltaire wished to discredit the Bible as part of a campaign against the political power of the Church. As a result, the view of western civilization has been distorted, giving rise to the fantastic construction of Israelite history associated with the higher critical ...

307. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... had been an alteration in the orbit of Venus since Ammisaduqa's time caused by a large body passing through the inner Solar System. This idea was obviously compatible with the Clube & Napier thesis. Another idea he entertained (Weir, 1986) was that maybe Ninsianna wasn't the planet Venus (which was usually referred to by the name Dilbat in Babylonian texts) but the errant comet as in their theory. The latter possibility, if valid, would lend credence to the view that the astronomers of the ancient world could, and did, confuse the planet Venus with an errant comet. But neither this, nor the catastrophist solution involving inner Solar System disruption by a large body such ...
308. Book Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... The book is "The Twelfth Planet" by Zecharia Sitchin, published in 1977 by George Allen & Unwin in London. In it the author sets out his thesis that civilisation arose too suddenly on Earth for it to be indigenous, and was brought by space-travellers (shades of Von Daniken!). He then adduces support for this from Babylonian and Sumerian texts, which are quoted from the extenso, although one can always wonder at the accuracy of the translations. However, extensive and apparently reputable references are quoted for these. Moving on from this basic position to consider the history of the Solar System as deduced from these sources, he holds that the original sequence of the ...
309. Khima And Kesil [Journals] [Kronos]
... to Worlds in Collision For the time being that sequel remains unpublished. Nevertheless, the identifications of Khima and Kesil (Khesil) were already made in Worlds in Collision (p 208), and an explanation was promised at that time. Since then, others have worked independently on the problem as well. In the Tractate Brakhot of the Babylonian Talmud it is said that the Deluge was caused by two stars that fell from Khima toward the Earth. The statement reads: "When the Holy One decided to bring the Deluge on the Earth, He took two stars from Khima and [hurling them against the Earth] brought the Deluge on the Earth."(1 ) ...
310. Calendars Revisited [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... say, the last two thirds or so of the 1st millennium- does not of course preclude that these schematic months were inspired by a much earlier state of affairs: Velikovsky has argued that from the 14th century to the 9th or 8th century the lunar months really did average 30 days rather than 29.5000 days. (3 ) The Babylonian calendar in the centuries just prior to the beginning of this era was luni-solar: It combined months that were strictly lunar (the first visibility of the new crescent marked the first day of each new lunar month) with a variable year that could average out to the same length as the solar year. The 12 months of the Babylonian ...
