352. F. X. Kugler -- Almost a Catastrophist [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in Greek] helios) is certainly not the diurnal luminary here: for it appears [words in Greek] among the stars. In reality it is a meteor of the size of the sun , which flares threateningly in the sky. Such a meteor of the apparent diameter of the sun or the moon has often been observed: the Babylonians called it "Shamshu" (sun). Its form, however, is by no means always circular or spherical, but very variable, and not rarely resembles the partly illuminated lunar disc , and this is undoubtedly what is referred to in line 513. "Line 515: The meteor has disappeared, and broken up in the ...

... are used a number of times each, and aren't single occurrences. Other names show the same lack of consistency in the tablets - it appears there was a confusion between "n " and "m " as well as between "b " and "m " in the quoted variations. Hittite, which used/was written in a Babylonian form of cuneiform, also shows great changes in the transition into Egyptian and Semitic cuneiform. In an article called "The Egyptian Translation of Hittite Names", Dr. H. R. Hall shows that the Egyptians quite regularly left off the masculine nominative ending s (in-as, -is and -us): for instance, Hattusillis becomes ...

... carried off then with disheveled hair the Nymphs lamented the springs and the lakes. Boeotia bewails Dirce, Argos Amymone, and Ephyre the waters of Pirene. Nor do rivers that have banks distant remain secure. Tanais smokes in. the midst of its waters, and the aged Peneus and Teuthrantian Caïcus and rapid Ismenus. . . . The Babylonian Euphrates, too, was on fire, Orontes was in flames, and the swift Thermodon and Ganges and Phasis and Ister. Alpheus boils ; the banks of Spercheus burn ; and the gold which Tagus carries with its stream melts in the flames. The river-birds, too, which made famous the Maeconian banks with song, grew hot ...

... observations of the sun, moon, and stars. Next. there were apparently two mythologies, representing two schools of astronomical thought. Finally, to endeavour to obtain a complete picture, it became necessary to bring together the information to be obtained from all these and other sources, including the old Egyptian calendars, and to compare the early Babylonian results with those which are to be gathered from the Egyptian myths and temple-orientations. It will, I think, be clear to anyone who reads this volume that its limits and the present state of our knowledge have only allowed me really to make a few suggestions. I have not even attempted to exhaust any one of the small number ...

... about 400 years) and could probably lose a couple of centuries. The preceding period forms a well attested block including Hammurabi's First Dynasty at Babylon with corresponding rulers in Isin, Larsa, Uruk, Ashur, etc. Remains of this period also appear to be attested stratigraphically (e .g . Oates pp. 76ff, section titled Old Babylonian Cities'). At Babylon itself the Hammurabi level would be below the present water-table (Oates p. 76) and therefore inaccessible to archaeologists. The Sumerian language continued in use, alongside Babylonian, through Hammurabi's dynasty and was still used by the Kassites (Oates, p. 101), so perhaps some Sumerian' strata have ...

A review of Velikovsky's address before the Princeton University Graduate College Forum, October 18, 1972. The event was filmed by the BBC for a special documentary on Velikovsky. "Babylonian Observations of Venus," by Professor Lynn Rose (State University of New York, Buffalo): "When you examine the content of [the Babylonian Venus tablets], they turn out to support Velikovsky, and not his critics." \cdrom\pubs\journals\pensee\ivr02\02studnt.htm ...

... recalled that when old epochs dissolved, the new "age" or "sun" was marked by different celestial paths. Astronomers and seers diligently watched for any change which might augur approaching destruction and the end of an age. Prior to the second millennium B.C . ancient Hindu records spoke of four visible planets, excluding Venus. Babylonians, meticulous in their observations, likewise failed to notice Venus. But some time before 1500 B.C . Jupiter, for centuries chief among the deities, shattered the serenity of the skies. A brilliant, fiery object, expelled from that planet, entered upon a long, elliptical orbit around the sun. The feared god Jupiter ...

... same in Chaldean history as the battle of Carchemish. Subsequently Ramses II signed a peace treaty with Nebuchadnezzar and married his daughter, an event memorialized in Egypt at AbuSimbel. Additionally, Nebuchadnezzar is found to have left a revealing autobiography once it is realized that the records of the so-called "Hittite" Empire really belong to the Chaldean period of Babylonian history. The successor to Ramses II, Pharoah Merneptah, frequently thought to be the Pharoah of the Exodus, is shown instead to be the Pharoah of the Exile.45 As with all serious studies of the past, Velikovsky's historical reconstructions have impelling implications for the present, and also for the future. Tying the three together, ...

... and continuing through about 200 A.D ., Sirius was said to be red by every writer who wrote about the matter."(14) Brecher provides a table of specific references to back up this claim: "Ancient references to the color of Sirius [abound] . Explicit namings of red span a millennium, from a Babylonian cuneiform text to the Greek astronomer Ptolemy. All seem agreed that the Dog Star is red, but this is distressing, for the star is blue-white today, and modern theories of stellar evolution cannot account for it being a different color in historical times."(15) SIRIUS AS DOG Sirius, the brightest star in the sky ...
