... London, 1904). Cf. Spiegelberg, op. cit., p. 71. [9 ] Germanicus' translation of Aratus' Phaenomena, ed. Buhle, p. 71. The Synodical Period of Venus and the Festivals For centuries observations of the day of the heliacal rising of Venus or Ishtar were carried out by the Babylonians,[1 ] the Mayas,[2 ] and the Incas [3 ] in hemispheres separated by oceans; records were made and kept, some of which are extant. It is well known that the Mayas also observed a Venus calendar, and it is strange that Egyptologists paid no attention to the fact that "the Mayas ...
332. Commemoration Of The 2300bc Event [Journals] [SIS Review]
... - Forward-scatter cw radar observations (From McKinley [92] Middle East Early Mesopotamians in the region now known as Iraq also observed their New Year in the autumn. The Akkadian calendar marked the New Year festival at the autumn equinox on the first of Tishri, associated with the Pleiades, when offerings to the dead were made. In the Babylonian 1st Dynasty at the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC, the rising of the Pleiades designated the beginning of the mean solar year. Langdon states that the New Year festival was actually kept to the rising of the Pleiades for centuries as the Earth's precession moved the date away from the equinox [95]. Hebrews In early times, ...
333. Heinsohn's Revised Chronology [Journals] [Aeon]
... ancient ancestor." (9 ) Yet Heinsohn claims that Naram-Sin is really Esarhaddon of Assyria. "An ancient ancestor" seems to be unusual language for Nebuchadnezzar to use to characterize someone who according to Heinsohn's chronology died only sixty-five years before Nebuchadnezzar came to the throne, and who, as an Assyrian, would not have been considered a Babylonian "ancestor" of Nebuchadnezzar. Moreover, if Heinsohn is right, a truly amazing feat would have been accomplished by Nabonidus, the ruler of Babylon whose reign began seven years after Nebuchadnezzar's death. At Larsa Nabonidus found an inscription of Hammurabi. (10) Since Heinsohn identifies Hammurabi with Darius I of Persia, (11) Nabonidus ...
334. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... crescent symbol are not easy to determine. Modern stories usually involve the Moon, not surprisingly, and often are associated with a conjunction with Venus, but are all rather dubious astronomically. In fact the symbol was used by a wide variety of people way before the foundation of Islam. Stars and crescents are found on seals from Assyrian, Babylonian and Minoan sources, the earliest being from 2500 BC and interpreted as representing Ishtar and Sin, still Venus and the Moon. The true origin is likely to have been much earlier and seems to have originated in Anatolia. (Dwardu Cardona has pointed out that a common entry in Babylonian astrological reports was when Shamash stands in the halo ...
335. The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... myths relating to these early phases of the configuration. You have one phase in which Venus and Mars are simply viewed in conjunction, and another phase in which they still stand in conjunction, but material is streaming out from Venus. At least that's the way it apparently looked from Earth. Talbott: Perhaps we should start with a well-known Babylonian image- the famous "wheel" of Shamash. Though the wheel here is set in a mythical context, with human-like figures and various symbols of cosmic kingship, the form stands alone in original concept. Throughout Mesopotamia, artists recorded pictures of a "wheel" of this sort, appearing in the sky as the special form of ...
336. Trisms and Planetary Iconography [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . Two stars are at the top of the cameo, perhaps in conjunction, with a crescented object between them. Below this configuration is the mythologem that these celestial objects symbolized or perhaps- by some process or interaction between the objects- began to resemble. Figure 21, is my sketch of a celestial event depicted on a gem dated as Late Babylonian. Apparently, the stars' interaction produces the androgynous deity between them. The hermaphroditic nature of this apparition suggests that the gem's artist was thinking astrologically, apparently assigning male and female roles to each star, perhaps implying that these objects were Mars and Venus, the male and female planets. The other apparitions depicted on this cameo, ...

... , descriptions of catastrophes consisting of combustion or deluge18 are found among the Greeks, Hindus, Persians, Chinese, Incas, Aztecs, and Mayas.19 Still less would you expect the phenomena to be described in very similar terms; thus the reddening of the world and its waters is recorded by Mayas, Egyptians, Israelites, Greeks, Babylonians, Finns and Tartars20 a hail of stones by Israelites, Egyptians, Mexicans, and some Buddhist texts;21and darkness that lasted for a number of days-in Asia, it was prolonged daylight-as prelude to a mountainous tidal wave, by Israelites, Chinese, Peruvians, and the Choctaw Indians of Oklahoma.22 And while earth and sea were ...
338. Maimonides And Spinoza, The Exegetes, Part 2 Mars Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Israel, when examined by the realistic method of Aristotelianism, were persons inclined to exaggerated forms of speech, and instead of saying, "Babylon will fall," or "fell," they spoke in terms of some fantastic perturbation in the cosmos above and beneath. "When Isaiah received the divine mission to prophesy the destruction of the Babylonian empire, the death of Sennacherib and that of Nebuchadnezzar, who rose after the overthrow of Sennacherib,3 he commences in the following manner to describe their fall . . . : For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof, shall not give their light' (13:10); again, Therefore I will shake the ...

... the planet Nergal say, and this is the war that was recounted in the Iliad. Nergal was named quarradu rabu, "the great warrior"; he waged war against gods and the earth. The most frequent ideogram for Nergal in Semitic cuneiform is read namsaru, which means "sword";6 the planet Mars, in the Babylonian inscriptions of the seventh century, was called "the most violent among the gods." Herodotus said that the Scythians worshipped Ares (Mars), and that a scimitar of iron was their image of him; to him they made human sacrifices and poured the blood on the scimitar.7 Solinus wrote of the people of Scythia: ...
340. A Reply to Palmer's 'In Search of Alter Egos' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... parallels between these two men consist of nothing more than similar reign-lengths and similar deaths. Having read my Ramessides, Medes and Persians, he must be aware that this is not the case. Indeed there exist a whole series of precise similarities between them. Both men faced two rebellions in Babylon: both were savage in their treatment of the Babylonians after the second rebellion, during which in both cases the Babylonians murdered the Assyrian (and Persian) satrap: after the second rebellion both kings made a great slaughter of the population and carried off the golden statue of Bel-Marduk: at this juncture both kings suppressed the Babylonian gods in favour of Ashur and Ahura Mazda. None of these ...
