... This, of course, sounds very dramatic. On WIC p,235 V writes: " 'Sargon (- 724 to- 705), father of Sennacherib, wrote on one season :" In the month of Abu, the month of descent of the fire- god'" Again, on WIC p.257 " The Babylonians called the year of the close opposition of Mars the year of the fire god' and the month the month of descent of the fire god', as, for instance, in an inscription of Sargon." Unfortunately, this Sargon inscription doesn't tell us anything about why Abu was called the month of the descent of the fire ...
402. Mount Horeb and Judah's Sacred Treasures [Journals] [Aeon]
... characteristic element of the mount. This supports the passage in 2 Maccabees, where the cave is also the central element of the account of Jeremiah's visit to the holy mountain. There is no record in any other source about anyone else visiting the mountain after Jeremiah. We can therefore assume that the knowledge of its location was lost during the Babylonian exile. There is another difficulty concerning the location of the crypt. According to some of the quoted verses, the most likely hypothesis is that it was to be Shaphan found "under" the Jerusalem Temple, or in its immediate surroundings. It is in fact on the Temple Mount that most archaeologists have looked for it. The ...

404. He Who Shines by Day [Books] [de Grazia books]
... with an ax to help him give birth. THE EPITHETS OF VENUS Velikovsky, James and others offer numerous connections between Planet Venus and Pallas Athena through analogies of birth, traits and deeds. They further offer persuasive cross-identifications of Athena and Planet-Venus with the corresponding divinities of the same planet from other cultures, among them the Hebrew, Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese, Mexican, and American Indian. Graves, for example, lays out in detail the material on Pallas, whose primary myth-ensemble is as foster-sister to Athena. Pallas means simply "youth" or "maiden." Athena and Pallas were raised on the shores of Lake Triton in Africa. While playing at armed combat Athena ...
405. The Cosmic Double Helix [Journals] [Aeon]
... called lion - bird by the Ancients. [63] Noting that the symbol is already found in the Uruk period, Frankfort goes on to define Ningishzida's symbol as "a pair of copulating vipers, whose intertwinings were stylised into the caduceus - like design." [64] Ward, too, had found "such a staff on Babylonian and Hittite seal - cylinders, a staff round which two serpents are intertwined; they form a certain phase in the development of the theriomorphic shape of the serpent Ningishzida on the vase of Gudea." [65] Van Buren discusses the various Sumerian depictions of entwined serpents and compares the pattern to North - American serpent motifs. [ ...
... Roxana and Salome. As for his elder daughters by the same mother with Alexander and Aristobulus, and whom Pheroras neglected to marry, he gave the one in marriage to Antipater, the king's sister's son, and the other to Phasaelus, his brother's son. And this was the posterity of Herod. CHAPTER 2. CONCERNING ZAMARIS, THE BABYLONIAN JEW; CONCERNING THE PLOTS LAID BY ANTIPATER AGAINST HIS FATHER; AND SOMEWHAT ABOUT THE PHARISEES. 1. AND now it was that Herod, being desirous of securing himself on the side of the Trachonites, resolved to build a village as large as a city for the Jews, in the middle of that country, which might make ...
407. Noah's Ark -- Its Geometry [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... ,275,163 inches. The rectangle width (and maximum beam of the vessel) is this larger area (10,275,163) divided by the desired length of 6180 inches. This was how Noah decided how wide to build his vessel. The width of the rectangle is 1662.65 inches (79.17 great Babylonian cubits) or 138 ½ feet! [3 ] (1662.65 x 6180) / (44,100 x 144in^2 /ft^2 ) = 1.6180 This last demonstrates the lofting method is probably correct. The camber circle and ellipse is a required method to produce a hydrodynamic shape that has exactly one ...

Leroy Ellenberger and my reply were published in Workshop 1989:1 , pp. 26-27. Details of the investigation of the Babylonian observations were published in Workshop 1986:2 , pp. 14-20 ( 'Computed planetary orbits and the Babylonian observations of Venus'). This article describes these subjects in more general terms and adds a few notes relating to other aspects which I hope will be of interest to readers. Computing Solar System orbits A computer can be programmed ...
409. SERVANT OF THE SUN GOD [Journals] [Aeon]
... flesh out the mythical character I have called the "warrior-hero" one must deal with a certain paradox: many of the encountered personalities will appear to have little or no connection with either the concept of a "warrior" or a "hero." The problem of definition will be easy when one takes on such well-known figures as the Babylonian Nergal, Greek Ares and Latin Mars, figures readily identified as both warriors and heroes. But pressing the investigation further will inevitably move the researcher into a much larger circle of myth and a wider range of personalities: from the music maker Apollo to the healer Aesculapius; from the visionary Orpheus and the magician Merlin to the North American ...
410. In Response to Mitcham's "Critique" [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of the evidences he has offered provides an unequivocal basis for a single one of the steps in the series of events supposedly leading to the placement of the end of the Sealand Dynasty in the era of the fall of DB-I. Quoting from Mitcham's critique on this series of events: . . . The inclusion of the Sealand Kings within the Babylonian King List B is a clear indication that like the later Kassite dynasty, a [the] Sealand king [s ] ruled from the "City of Babylon" for a time. With the beginnings of the Dynasty attested during theAmorite period, the only time a king of the Sealand can have ruled from Babylon city is after the ...
