... could on the basis of the native evidence; now we need to see if the cosmologies of other ancient peoples may shed any light on the question. That a celestial body should be called "the sun" and yet be something other than the Sun may at first appear strange. But a close parallel is available in Babylonia. In Babylonian astronomy Alap-Shamash, "the star of the sun", was Saturn. Ninib, another Babylonian designation for Saturn, "is said to shine like the sun". In India the appellative of the Sun, arki, was also applied to Saturn.(2 ) In Sanscrit again arka means "belonging or relating to the sun ...
372. Thoth Vol I, No. 24: October 20, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the theme of cometary disaster, noticed that one ancient culture after another spoke of former catastrophes so devastating that the "world" came to an end. This collective memory, in turn, seems to have given rise to the general notion of recurring cycles, or world ages. While Velikovsky noticed surprising parallels among far-flung nations, including the Babylonians, Greeks, Hebrews, Chinese, and Polynesians, he was particularly fascinated with the Mexican ideas: An old tradition, and a very persistent one, of world ages that went down in cosmic catastrophes was found in the Americas among the Incas, the Aztecs, and the Mayas. A major part of stone inscriptions found in Yucatan ...

... ', a lunar symbol (xxxii); and so on. The Jewish myths of Paradise1 agree that this place was situated in the middle of the Earth; it was on a mountain and enclosed within a definite and well-guarded boundary; it was of stupendous size: finally the Paradise Mountain' became synonymous with the Earth itself. The Babylonians significantly called their Paradise the Mountain of all Lands'. It was a locality reserved for God and for a race of chosen men, the Jewish Mountain of the Elohim'. Paradise came to an end when a serpent' caused some mischief; only when this mischief has once been undone shall man dwell in Paradise again. There ...

375. Interviewing Immanuel Velikovsky: An Introduction [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , this part of the world and not beyond this part, and in history one would know this century but not the next century, but I saw that some-body studying Mexican calendars comes upon very difficult problems. He would make some general observations if he could also know that the very same problems exist in the Sumerian calendar or in the Babylonian or Egyptian calendars. If you know it, then you are able to reach conclusions that, in separate fields, you are not able to reach. Therefore, later you see, again and again in articles and books discussing the problems of interdisciplinary synthesis, that narrow field, and I could quote quite a few authors and philosophers ...
376. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Amarna letters, and assuming the Sumur of the letters is Samaria, he concluded this was built in 850BC and fell in 711BC, so the Amarna letters date from this era. Since the Ashuruballit mentioned was conventionally dated much earlier than 711BC, he tried to resolve this problem by turning to Luckenbill. He listed out every Assyrian and Babylonian historical character with a father/son relationship, or who was clearly linked with another. When he came to do his revision he found the Ashuruballit of the Amarna letters could not be brought far enough forward to endorse his Egyptian revision, no matter how hard he tried. He felt as if he had run into a black hole ...
377. Assyrian History: the 'Black Hole' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Shalmaneser III. I have tried everything to move Shalmaneser III but without success; I was even tempted to employ Tony Chavasse's argument that Ahab was not at the Battle of Ramoth Gilead. The third concession demands that something is amiss with the Luckenbill records - a heresy. However, if we refer to the four column set of Assyrian and Babylonian contemporaries on pp. 422-425, section 1188, there appears to be much missing. Each column seems to follow on from the end of the preceding one, except col. 2 from col. 1 creating the most important omission of the main family series from Ashur-nirari through Ashuruballit to the very Shalmaneser and Tukulti-Ninurta who seem attested in section ...
378. "Just Plainly Wrong": A Critique of Peter Huber [Journals] [Kronos]
... . Huber's principal arguments may be listed as follows: Various clay tablets from Uruk show that Inanna or Venus existed early in the third millennium, as an evening and morning star. Early second millennium Sumerian sources associate Inanna or Venus with evening and with morning, allegedly showing that Venus was even then an inner planet. Contracts from the First Babylonian Dynasty allegedly attest a lunar month of 29 ½ days and a practice of intercalating months in such a way as, in the long run, to keep the lunar calendar in rough agreement with the seasons of the tropical year. The so-called "Venus tablets of Ammizaduga" are alleged to fit the pattern of intercalary months attested from the ...
379. On Comets, Comet-Like Luminous Apparitions and Meteors (Concluded) [Journals] [Kronos]
... this comet came from a constellation named Eileithyia (similarly, the comet which appeared in the constellation of the Great Bear, Typhon in Egyptian, was called Typhon). In addition, Boll thinks it conceivable that the name of the constellation Eileithyia - which places the goddess of the pregnant in the sky - emerged from the name of a Babylonian constellation which, according to Hommel, (49) was called a "star" (or "constellation") of the "pregnant woman". Boll has also pointed out the great difficulty(50) in distinguishing between "star" and "constellation" in the astrological-astronomical texts of the Babylonians, since the same expression is ...
... of sulphur and other constituents of the descending satellitic material, and because of the evil-smelling gases, chiefly sulphide of hydrogen, which became generated when the heated, or glowing, core-material became quenched in the spreading waters of the great girdle-tide. We meet the `Red Dragon' which descended upon the earth in quite a number of reports. Babylonian mythology calls this cosmic monster, muyhrushii tamtim,45 the `red-gleaming [or: angry-red] serpent', and says that it had two notable `horns'. In the Bundahish (= `Primeval Creation'), the Sacred Book of the Parsees, we are told: `He (the Evil One] stood upon ...
