... may not be put in an iron vessel for safe-keeping, nor in any metal vessel: it would burst such a receptacle asunder."(8 ) "They wrap it in tufts of wool and place it in a leaden tube full of barley bran." This last sentence is quoted from the Tractate Sotah, 48b, of the Babylonian Talmud, an ancient source. "Oferet" of the text is properly translated as "lead". This quote contains an important clue: Folkloristic fantasy would not make a leaden box of greater resistance than an iron or gold one; lead is a soft metal. Therefore, this must be a description based on fact. And ...
342. Reopening the Sumerian Question [Journals] [Aeon]
... states. Once the Akkadians had organized themselves into a powerful empire, the world's first according to historians, the Sumerian city states fell one by one under its sway. But after more than a century the Sumerians were able to reassert themselves, this time organized into a short-lived "neo-Sumerian" empire, that gave way to the "Old Babylonian" empire, the greatest ruler of which was Hammurabi. A period of darkness descends after the end of this dynasty, precipitated by the capture of Babylon by a foreign potentate from the far west. For several centuries Babylonia reverts to a primitive feudal state under the so-called Kassite kings. Thereafter the Assyrians establish their control over Mesopotamia. ...

344. Notes (The Book of Revelation is History) [Books]
... smashed it, the cataclysm started (third myth). The catastrophe ended only when the `beasts' were also destroyed. The ancient Semitic religions made much of this mythological report in their symbolism. Among the most important furniture of great temples there always figures prominently a `sea', a great round vessel. Of Agum, a Babylonian king reigning before the seventeenth century BC, it is reported that he put up a great effigy of a `serpent' (Tiamat, the personification of the primeval chaos) in the temple of Marduk, the Dragon-Slayer, in Babylon, and that he placed beside it a tamtu, or `sea'. (Tiamat and tamtu ...
345. The Garden of Venus [Journals] [Aeon]
... is probable. [23] The hero Gilgamesh, as we have elsewhere argued, [24] is identifiable with the planet Mars. He seeks immortality by following the road of Shamash, the ancient sun-god identified with the planet Saturn. [25] Significantly, the phrase "road of the sun" is specifically associated with Saturn in Babylonian astronomical texts. [26] The key to interpreting the episode of Gilgamesh's confrontation with Siduri, needless to say, revolves around the latter's identification. It is our opinion that Siduri is to be identified with the planet Venus. This equation can be supported by a variety of evidence, not the least of which is that Siduri was ...
346. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... little noticed development in the Jordanian view of Iron Age IIC. This period has long been thought to end in the early 6th century BC with Nebuchadnezzar's destructions of Jerusalem, Lachish, several Philistine cities, etc. There is certainly a widespread destruction horizon at these sites. A few Israelis would admit some continuity of Iron IIC pottery through the Babylonian period. Archaeologists working in Jordan have for several years dated the end of Iron IIC about 50 years later at c. 539 BC, the beginning of the Persian period. However, they were puzzled by the lack of archaeology with which to fill the long Persian period. They have now found the solution - Iron Age IIC pottery ...

... name for the same reason.(6 ) The mythology which personified the forces of the cosmic drama described the world as coloured red. In one Egyptian myth the bloody hue of the world is ascribed to the blood of Osiris, the mortally wounded planet god; in another myth it is the blood of Seth or Apopi; in the Babylonian myth the world was coloured red by the blood of the slain Tiamat, the heavenly monster.(7 ) The Finnish epos of Kalevala describes how, in the days of the cosmic upheaval, the world was sprinkled with red milk.(8 ) The Altai Tartars tell of a catastrophe when "blood turns the whole world red ...
348. Bouquets and Brickbats: A Reply to Martin Sieff [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... - which, judging by the Book of Judges, he never did anyway. If, on the other hand, be were to accept the Intermediate period as that coinciding with the time of the Israelite judges, he would then have to accept the Middle Bronze city as the one rebuilt by HieI and destroyed, in turn, by the Babylonians. This would leave him with no recourse other than to claim Late Bronze Jericho as the city settled by the Jews on their return from the Babylonian exile. But then who was it that rebuilt Jericho in the Iron Age? I need not stress the problem with the above scheme. It is accepted by almost everyone that the Iron ...
