... : - Philip, the son of Jacimus, who was their governor under king Agrippa, had been unexpectedly preserved when the royal palace at Jerusalem had been besieged; but, as he fled away, had fallen into another danger, and that was, of being killed by Manahem, and the robbers that were with him; but certain Babylonians, who were of his kindred, and were then in Jerusalem, hindered the robbers from executing their design. So Philip staid there four days, and fled away on the fifth, having disguised himself with fictitious hair, that he might not be discovered; and when he was come to one of the villages to him belonging, ...
432. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Even so, he continued to repeat that Apollo is "a Greek transliteration of Baal." (51) More specifically, he stated the case in the following words: In Punic, the Phoenician language [sic.], the word for Mars was Baal, sometimes represented as Ba'al. This word was a derivative from the Babylonian word, Bel .. . The Greeks softened the b' into a p' and added the a' at the front end. (52) Apart from the howler about Punic being the Phoenician language- a misconception I had already corrected for him in 1980 (53)- to say nothing of the utter falsity of " ...
... entire exclusion and excommunication with regard to each other, in uvlrich mankind presents its different families to us in America, like fragments of a vast ruin. The history of the other nations inhabiting the earth furnishes nothing which has any analogy to this. This disruption of all the bands by which society was anciently held together, accompanied by a Babylonian confusion of tongues multiplied by it, the rude right of force, the never-ending tacit warfare of all against all, springing from that very disruption, appear to me the most essential, and, as far as history is concerned, the most significant point in the civil condition of the savage tribes. Such a state of society cannot ...
434. Venus -- A Youthful Planet [Journals] [Kronos]
... the most learned of all the Romans," on the authority of Adrastus of Cyzicus and Dion of Naples, "famous mathematicians," in the reign of Ogyges: "It changed its color, size, form, course."(2 ) [Footnote: *According to Kugler. But see Lynn E. Rose, "Babylonian Observations of Venus," Velikovsky Reconsidered (N .Y ., 1976), pp. 73-86. LMG] In China, the astronomer Y-hang, in the year 721, related to the Emperor Hiuen-tsong that, according to earlier authorities in the time of Tsin the planet Venus used to move forty degrees to the south of the ...
435. Avaris and El-Arish (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... unsolved problem concerning the rise of monotheism, which I saw, and still see, as being the result of the abolition of human sacrifice in honor of deified celestial bodies, I decided to utilize the Abrahamic lore which deals precisely with such a succession of events. No mainstream researcher of monotheism would ever touch Abraham since monotheism emerged after the Babylonian exile in the late 6th and early 5th centuries BCE - at least 1500 years after the conventionally-dated patriarch. Thus, conventional scholars pay the very high price of leaving monotheism as the ultimate enigma in the history of religion whereas, on the other hand, I had to live with Cardona's type of criticism. It was nevertheless reasonable that ...
436. Thoth Vol III, No. 10: July 30, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the Isaiah passage what is presumably the Hebrew name Shahar' is translated into Greek as Phosphorus' and into Latin and hence into English as Lucifer', which were the Greek and Latin names, respectively, for the morning star. DAVE TALBOTT SAYS: This is correct, and it's an obvious source of much later confusion. It was Babylonian priest-astronomers who later clarified planetary identifications for the Greeks, so that the planets acquired new names with direct links to the earlier, and much more reliable, traditions of Mesopotamia. Ted Bond was correct in noting the inherent contradiction in identifying Venus with the source of "devil" imagery (Lucifer). Venus is the archetypal feminine figure ...
437. KA [Books]
... Magic, mentions Graeco-Roman terracotta lamps found in Egypt, bearing representations of a frog. One of them is inscribed "I am the resurrection." When we recall the word ka', the connection between magnification and worship in Hebrew, Egyptian, Greek and Latin, and the apparatus of the statue or ark shown surrounded in Egyptian and Babylonian reliefs by junction rods, Hebrew chashuqim, we have an explanation of the verb sancio. It denotes the application of electrical technique to resurrect; to create an image, the spiritual body of a resurrected god, whose glow could be seen by the worshippers in the dimly lighted temple. If further confirmation be sought, we can see ...
438. The Opening Of The Mouth Ritual - Part I [Journals] [Aeon]
... undergoing the Opening of the Mouth ritual. Presentation of the haunch' and the adze. This idea, however, is not tenable, as we will see, and the fact remains that the ritual was used for far more mundane purposes than on mummies and golden statues of the high gods. For example, both the Egyptians and the Babylonians used the Opening of the Mouth ritual to imbue small figures (" pest gods" in Babylon) with the powers of a local god to help cure the sick. In Egypt, little hawk figures imbued with Horus supposedly worked against snakebite- possibly a nod toward the myth concerning the defeat of the evil serpent Apep. [114 ...

... the . . . god's hand. Thus the god was assumed to have been the source and inspiration of law and justice."(115) Like most mythologists, Rosenberg spoke of Shamash as the Sun but that Shamash was Saturn as a sun has also been shown;(116) and this identification should now be accepted. The Babylonians were very specific when they stated that the star Gigi, which to them was the star of justice and righteousness, is the same as the planet Saturn.(116a) Kittu (also Kettu) and Mesaru (or Mesharu) were the personifications of righteousness and justice.(117) Morris Jastrow informs us that ". . ...
440. Canopy Skies of Ancient Man by Isaac Vail [Books]
... the beginning of his career, and it he became a ruler in Babylon he went from the south to the north, the same as every other Sun-born ruler, and it is plain that he was at polar sun-god. It is said that nearly 2000 years before the time of Semiramis he was worshiped with great pomp by the Assyrians and Babylonians. His temple at Babylon was said to have been originally the Tower of Babel, which is all very true in the light of canopy movement. First, then, we have a solar form brought out of Egypt and worshiped as a god; and if so worshiped, that farm was a polar sun phenomenon of the same character ...
