... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History VII:2 (July 1985) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION A Time of Pestilence and a Shaking of the Earth P. Clapham The Assyrian and Babylonian king-lists, together with numerous building and dedicatory inscriptions, the annals of kings, and the chronicles, neutralize the revision of history as required by Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos or the Glasgow Conference. Lately, in the SIS Workshop [I ] a new scheme has been suggested in which the biblical Shishak is identified with Ramses II. Even so short a revision remains problematical in relation to the king-lists and chronicles, and interconnections between the Hittites, Kassites, and Egyptians (court correspondence, treaties ...
322. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... been willing to submit them. R. Langdon's irreverent and irrelevant comment if Earl Milton's idea is thought ridiculous by C. Leroy Ellenberger then it probably has much merit' was a rare example of humour in an SIS publication and should be encouraged. Does anyone write to Leroy any more? M. Reade contributes further interesting views on the Babylonian tablets observations, but he still seems unaware of my discovery that the deduced inferior and superior conjunctions lie on a sine curve if reasonable amendments are made to the more improbable observations. There is then no need to assume an Earth year of 360 days at that time, when Venus was evidently near its final stable position. J. ...
323. Minds in Chaos [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of Venus extend back five hundred years before the Exodus, thus refuting the absurd theory of a comet that turned into a planet. ' Velikovsky, however, had specified no date for the eruption of Venus from Jupiter, except that it had occurred some time before the Exodus. And, as Velikovsky pointed out in his book, the Babylonian tablets (Venus Tablets of Ammizaduga) cited by Gaposchkin to support her claim ascribe such erratic motions to Venus that translators and commentators have been baffled by them ever since they were discovered in the ruins of Nineveh in the last century; he also pointed out that even if the apparitions and periods of Venus recorded on the tablets date from ...
324. The Cosmic Winter by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [SIS Review]
... confirm their Taurid/June catastrophe scenario. We must for the moment still suspend disbelief in one important particular - thousands of years before Humboldt our ancestors are supposed to have located the radiant of a meteor shower in the daytime sky on the evidence of one fireball every few years at best. However, to the evidence: i). Babylonian "Indeed, it is now hardly to be doubted that this omen astrology was soundly based on the concept of observed irregularities in nature which were indicative of other disturbances to come, and in this respect it differs not at all from the practice of modern science." [50] Divination was particularly performed by the examination of the ...
325. The Feast Of Light. Ch.3 In Fear And Trembling (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... 3 ] He is also associated with brilliant light; he was dismembered; Isis, his spouse, went in search of his dispersed members; Isis gave birth to Horus whom she conceived from Osiris. James G. Frazer, the collector of folklore, came to regard Osiris as the vegetation god; likewise he saw in Tammuz, the Babylonian Osiris, a vegetation god. Carried away by this concept, he wrote The Golden Bough, built around the idea of the vegetation god who dies and is resurrected the next year. Of Tammuz it is also narrated that he was associated with brilliant light, with flood, with descent into the netherworld, visited there by Ishtar, ...
326. Disarranged Months, Part 2 Mars Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... of nine days' duration. It i s of interest, therefore, to read that in many sagas dealing with the moon, the number nine is used in measures of time.1 A series of scholars found that nine days was for a while a time period of many ancient peoples: the Hindus, the Persians,2 the Babylonians,3 the Egyptians,4 and the Chinese.5 In religious traditions, literature, and astrological works, seven days and ni ne days compete as the measure of the month's quarter. In the time of the Homeric epics, the nine-day week became prevalent in the Greek world. The seven-day week and the nine-day week are both ...
327. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... planks of Velikovsky's argument were the similarity between the campaigns waged by Ramesses II in Palestine in the 13th Century BC and those attributed in the Bible and the annals of Nebuchadrezzar II to the 26th Dynasty Pharaoh Necho II; the specific parallels between the battles of Kadesh and Carchemish; the similarities between the careers of the Hittite Hattusilis III and the Babylonian Nebuchadrezzar II; the archaeological and linguistic problems associated with the discovery in Byblos of the tomb of Ahiram; and the relationship between archaeology of Hittite and Phrygian Anatolia. In many instances Velikovsky had established interesting parallels between events and rulers in the 13th and 7th/6th Centuries BC, and in particular had amply demonstrated the flaws in the ...
328. Chapter I: The Worship of the Sun and the Dawn [Books]
... - the sign for God was a star. We find the same idea in Egypt: in some of the hieroglyphic texts three stars represented the plural "gods." I have already remarked that the ideas of the early Indian civilisation, crystallised in their sacred books called Vedas, were known to us long before either the Egyptian or the Babylonian and Assyrian records had been deciphered. Enough, however, is now known to show that we may take the Vedas to bring before us the remnants of the first ideas which dawned upon the minds of the earliest dwellers in Western Asia- that is, the territory comprised between the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, the Caucasus, the ...

... l'astronomie ancienne, (1817), I, p. 407: "Venus alone is not found there."] The Brahmans of the early period did not know the fiveplanet system. [This according to G. Thibaut, "Astronomie, Astrologie and Mathematik" in Grundriss der indoarischen Philol and Altertumskunde, III (1899). Babylonian astronomy, too, had a four-planet system. In ancient prayers the planets Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Mercury are invoked; the planet Venus is missing; and one speaks of the four-planet system of the ancient astronomers of Babylonia. ' [This according to E.F . Weidner, Handbuch der babylonischen Astronomie (1915), ...
330. Cushan Rishathaim [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... this can be said when the injustices he is claimed to have wrought are cast in such a formulaic type of statement. Formulaic form alone, however, is insufficient ground upon which to invalidate historical potential. Parallels for formulaic type statements given for historical events can be found in both the Annals of the Assyrian kings and the Chronicles of the Babylonian kings.1 The situation is somewhat similar to that which obtains for Gen. 14. Most of the other ethnic groups and toponyms in Gen. 12 to 50 are generally recognizable even though we may not have knowledge of specific individuals. But the campaign of the kings from the east comes like a sudden bolt out of the blue ...
