382. The Creation of the Earth -- the First Account [Books]
... in Genesis i from the cosmogonic accounts of other peoples! Their stores are almost always curiously involved; they are not reported in scientific' language; but described in mythological' pictorial terms. Yet I contend that all cosmogonic myths, be they worded as scientifically' as that of Genesis i, or as mythologically' as that of the Babylonians, for instance; report actual happenings which took place in the dim past, accounts of which were somehow handed down to us by eye-witnesses through a long chain of oral transmitters. It is hardly necessary to point out the compactness of the First Creation Account which has not its like in all the sacred literature of the world. It ...
383. The Nature of the Historical Record [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of this heritage comprised the Old and New Testaments and enough of the works of the most important Greek and Latin authors to provide at least an outline, and sometimes even more, of the history of the ancient world from the Greek struggle for independence against the Persians early in the fifth century BC. Unfortunately, the Egyptian, Assyrian and Babylonian sources for the period before the fifth century were lost as the languages in which they were written fell first into disuse, then into oblivion, as Greek and Latin became the common means of communication among civilised men in the hellenised Roman Empire. Much of the cultural heritage of these peoples was translated into Greek and Latin and thus was ...
384. Flavius Josephus Against Apion Book 1 [Books]
... Grecian writers as to language and eloquence of composition; but then we shall give them no such preference as to the verity of ancient history, and least of all as to that part which concerns the affairs of our own several countries. 6. As to the care of writing down the records from the earliest antiquity among the Egyptians and Babylonians; that the priests were intrusted therewith, and employed a philosophical concern about it; that they were the Chaldean priests that did so among the Babylonians; and that the Phoenicians, who were mingled among the Greeks, did especially make use of their letters, both for the common affairs of life, and for the delivering down the ...

BABYLONIA, ASSYRIA, CHALDEA AND PERSIA. Waring1 says, "In Babylonian and Assyrian remains we search for it [the Swastika] in vain," Max Muller and Count Goblet D'Alviella are of the same opinion2 Of Persia, D'Alviella, citing Ludwig Muller,3 says that the Swastika is manifested only by its presence on certain coins of the Arsacides and the Sassanides.

... ancients. Phallism, as every student of ancient faiths is aware, was the adoration of the generative organs as symbols of the creative powers of nature, or, more correctly, worship of the reproductive powers of nature as symbolised by the organs of sex. These symbols were in almost universal use in ancient religions, including the Phoenicians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Israelites, and the Hellenes, when the rites were introduced with the worship of the god Dionysus, the Serpent god, and where, as everywhere else, it became associated with licentiousness and obscene rites. Originally, however, it is recognised that phallic worship had an allegorical meaning, though General B.G . ...
387. Mulholland: "A Celestial Mechanician Whose Name is Almost Synonymous with High Precision" [Journals] [Kronos]
... at Babylon (if it was not merely an approximation) would make more sense either with Babylon at a higher latitude or with a greater obliquity for Earth. (See Worlds in Collision, page 316.) There is no contradiction whatsoever between Velikovsky's remarks about Babylon and his remarks about the various clocks. (By the way, the Babylonian ratio was reported by the Babylonians themselves, and is not the invention of any later writers; Mulholland's efforts to dismiss the matter by making jokes about "Kepler's LSD trips" will not wash.) All that Velikovsky concludes about the Faijum shadow clock is that it should be studied. Mulholland's report that "Faijum is implied to have ...

The sarcophagi in which the bodies of the Pharaohs were enclosed, lay with "feet to South, head to North, along the Western wall "15 The pyramid at Medum, between Memphis and the Fayum, a terraced structure like the Babylonian "zikkurat "16 (temple tower), opens to the North, while the terraced pyramid of Sakkara is directed more to the North-east, and has four entrances.

390. The Lord Of Light [Journals] [Aeon]
... "stop" over Bethlehem as viewed from Jerusalem. As previously discussed, the Cave of the Nativity was also the site of lamentations for Adonis, the beloved of Astarte. Now Astarte, the divine mistress of Adonis, was identified with the planet Venus, and her changes from a morning to an evening star were carefully noted by the Babylonian astronomers who drew omens from her alternate appearance and disappearance. Hence we may conjecture that the festival of Adonis was regularly timed to coincide with the appearance of Venus as the Morning or Evening Star. But the star which the people of Antioch saluted at the festival was seen in the East; therefore, if it was indeed Venus, ...
