312. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... widow(?) for the property that she believed was rightfully hers. J Zorn (BAR Sept./Oct. 97 pp. 28-38, 66) has been re-excavating (in a museum!) the finds from the pre-war excavations at Tell en-Nasbeh, generally accepted as biblical Mizpah. This site became the capital of Judah under the Babylonians following the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC. Zorn turned up part of a broken metal ring (purpose unknown) clearly inscribed in cuneiform with the words Ayadara, King of the world, for (the preservation of) his life and .. . ' (p . 38). As with the Ashyahu text we are left ...
313. Ignis E Coelo, Part 2 Mars Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... , all agree on the manner in which the Assyrian host was destroyed: a blast fell from the sky on the camp of Sennacherib. It was not a flame, but a consuming blast: "Their souls were burnt, though their garments remained intact." The phenomenon was accompanied by a terrific noise.2 Arad gibil is the Babylonian designation of ignis e coelo (fire from the sky).3 Another version of the destruction of the army of Sennacherib is given by Herodotus. During his visit in Egypt, he heard from the Egyptian priests or guides to the antiquities that the army of Sennacherib, while threatening the borders of Egypt, was destroyed in a single ...
314. Sothic Dating and Historical Reconstructions [Articles]
... of the strategies for handling this, but it never was resolved. Now I think it has been resolved, because I found, partly by accident, that the Middle Kingdom needs to be lowered by such a large number of years, and also because of some other things that have happened, especially Gunnar Heinsohn's decision to move the First Babylonian Dynasty down by a great number of years and equate it with the Persian Empire. The First Babylonian Dynasty is also full of stuff about the Moon that is very bad for Velikovsky-29-1/2 day months, with alternating 29 and 30 days. Now that is safely down in the second half of the first millennium, and it does ...
315. Paired Sets in the Hebrew Alphabet [Journals] [Aeon]
... developed its elemental shapes from a Palestinian variety or "square script" that became standardized shortly before the Christian era, although samples of this script in more variable form can be dated to the third century B.C . and perhaps earlier. Based primarily on the Aramaic script, which Jewish tradition says superseded the Early Hebrew alphabet during the Babylonian exile, "square script" (also called ketab meruba' and "Assyrian" writing) was apparently strongly influenced by Early Hebrew as well. (9 ) More simply put, and with a slightly different emphasis: "The most prolific branch of the alphabet was the Phoenician, attested in inscriptions from about the eleventh century onward ...
316. From Myth to a Physical Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... warrior hero. Good and Evil God It needs to be pointed out as well that, in the earlier strata of the mythical record, this very same hero-god is also the archetypal fiend, the rebel-barbarian. Horus and Set are two aspects of the same figure, presented as a light and dark head on one body. Though both the Babylonian Nergal and Greek Ares are called "the Hero," they are also murderers. The poets could not conceal the murderous side of the greatest of Greek heroes, Heracles. Earlier myths, incidentally, do not follow familiar literary conventions with easily defined boundaries between good and evil. It is significant, however, that later poets, ...
317. Dragons and Serpents (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... ' with the aid of radical No. 74, yuet, Moon, and others, which mean protection from'. Across the Pacific we find among the pictographs of the Mexican codices the symbol of the Moon, consisting of a rabbit (a common lunar symbol), the sickles of the Moon, and a flying dragon. The Babylonians equated the dragon-monster Tiâmat with the Moon. If appearances do not deceive us, it is clear that the Diluvians'-the deluge-survivors or Noachites', as we may call them- and their immediate descendants have taken a line of thinking, and of interpreting what they observed, which is very different from that of the scientists of to-day. They viewed ...
318. Sin and the Control System [Journals] [Kronos]
... When they do this, however, they are not really solving the problem of origin; they are merely demonstrating how widespread the problem is. To exclude- for everyone but the most rabid of diffusionists the possibility of tracing the "origins" of the concepts we are discussing to the Egyptians, or to the Canaanites, or to the Babylonians, or to the Sumerians, we will give examples of them not only from the literatures of the Biblical world and the Greek world, but from that of the New World as well. The Garden of Eden and the Destruction of the Golden Age What did our ancestors believe had been the cause of these periodic cosmic catastrophes which we ...

... - a cosmic, celestial Nippur, antedating the creation of the earth, but destined to serve ultimately as the model of the terrestrial Nippur, for the Sumerian cosmic pattern was, in general, designed on the principle of Heaven (Sky),Earth parallelism."(5 ) In Mesopotamia, it would appear that "all the Babylonian cities had their archetypes in the constellations: Sippara in Cancer, Nineveh in Ursa-. Major, Assur in Arcturus, etc. Sennacherib has Nineveh built according to the form .. . delineated from distant ages by the writing of the heaven-of-stars'." Even "the Tigris has its model in the star Anunit and the Euphrates ...
320. Editorial [Journals] [Horus]
... The editorial task does have its rewards in the unexpected discoveries that spring up out of the blue. In this issue, C. Bowen reviews some ancient traditions that suggest Venus was once a "battle star" specifically that military action was associated with the appearance of Venus as the Evening Star. A leading archaeoastronomer has noticed that an ancient Babylonian astronomical tablet and the Mayan Dresden Codex both indicate that Venus is invisible for 90 days from her disappearance as Morning Star to her reappearance as Evening Star. He remarked that this was curious, since the actual disappearance interval is more like 50 days. But, nevertheless, all the visibility and invisibility intervals of the Mayan and Babylonian records ...
