... that Velikovsky was mistaken in his identification of Greek Aphrodite as the Moon, and that Aphrodite, as goddess of love, was in fact the Greek Evening Star while Athena was the warlike Morning Star aspect of Venus only[2 ]. James proves his point by recourse to the myths and symbols of the Eurasian civilisations of the Hittites, Babylonians, Assyrians and Egyptians, where the often masculine, evil aspect of the Morning Star is contrasted with the feminine, love-goddess aspect of the Evening Star. Martin Sieff has gone further and suggested that "The fact that Venus was recorded as a catastrophic threat when perceived as Morning Star, but not when perceived as Evening Star, is ...
452. Fenris-Wolf, Part 2 Mars Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Fenris-Wolf In the Babylonian astrological texts it is said that "a star takes the shape of divers animals: lion, jackal, dog, pig, fish."1 This, in our opinion, explains the worship of animals by ancient peoples, notably the Egyptians. The planet Mars, its atmosphere distorted by its approaches to other celestial bodies- Venus, earth, moon- took on different shapes. The Mexicans narrated that Huitzilopochtli, the bellicose destroyer of cities, took the form of various birds and beasts.2 On one occasion Mars very characteristically resembled a wolf or a ...

454. Velikovsky and his Critics by Shane Mage [Books]
... compelling the testimony of what he condescendingly calls "the calendrical conventions of pre-scientific peoples." It is left to Mulholland to call into question the second class of evidence, that dealing with changes in the inclination of the Earth's axis of rotation. Velikovsky cites, among many sources. the "strange riddle" posed by Kugler: "The Babylonian astronomical tablets of the eighth century provide exact data, according to which the longest day at Babylon was equal to 14 hours 24 minutes, whereas the modern determination is 14 hours 11 minutes" (Worlds in Collision, p. 315), which indicates an axial inclination at the epoch of those calculations significantly greater than the present angle ...
455. Thoth Vol I, No. 12: April 29, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... a hidden "underworld" beneath the earth, a dark region visited by the sun after it has set. But the place of repose is no underworld. It is: "The lofty residence... The lofty place... The place of lofty repose..." What, then, of the famous Assyrian and Babylonian god Shamash, the sun god whom we now recognize as Saturn? A remarkable fact is that Shamash "comes forth"(shines) and "goes in" (declines, diminishes) at one spot, the "firm," "stable" or motionless station of supreme "rest". This place par excellence was symbolized ...
456. Velikovsky's Legacy [Articles]
... once located in the immediate proximity of Saturn, the ancient sun-god. Here I would point to the widespread image of the star set within a crescent. Found in both Old World and New World contexts, this ancient image corresponds to nothing in the current skies. To what then could it possibly refer? Confronted with this image upon ancient Babylonian kudurru, leading scholars have routinely held that it signifies Venus set within the horns of the crescent Moon. Scholars of Moslem religion-where the star and crescent forms the leading symbol-have offered a similar opinion. But such a relationship between Venus and Moon is quite impossible from an astronomical standpoint. Why then would ancient cultures all around the world fixate ...
457. Chaos and Creation [Books] [de Grazia books]
... B.C . He aims to show by retroactive calculations that the older dates would be impossible. The debate is a forerunner (partly in reverse) of the attacks upon Velikovsky by historians and astronomers, 1950-1979, who insisted both that Venus was known to be an orderly planet before the fifteenth century and at the same time that the Babylonians lacked the ability to make correct observations of Venus before 747 B.C .[ 44] Again, in my opinion, Bentley is proving that the skies were disorganized by the Venusian incursions, yet he was led by uniformitarian presumptions to believe that Hindu astronomers were incompetent before that time. All over the world, a Venus calendar ...
458. Crazy Heroes of Dark Times [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . And the War of Pylos involving Hercules, Ares and Athena would be set around -747. We may take this occasion also to tie in the "neighboring giants," who made life impossible for the Phaeacians when they lived in Hypereia. These were probably astral phenomena of monstrous shape who hurled debris upon them from the skies. The Babylonians were chanting in their hymns to Mars-Nergal: "Great giants, with awesome members, run at his right and at his left."[8 ] This may have been part of the terrible destruction wrought in Asia Minor in -747 in the time of King Uzziah [9 ]. For King Nausithous led them to Scheria, and ...

... of Nimrod in the entire Old Testament, although Jewish legend, on the one hand, and the writings of the early Christian Fathers, on the other, have a lot more to say concerning this shadowy character. As has been noted by various scholars, however, while it may be reasonably surmised that the Nimrod tradition was derived from Babylonian sources, no equivalent of the name as that of a king has yet been found in cuneiform records. On the other hand, the name Nimrod as other than that of a king is not unknown. Thus, for instance, Nimrod has often been claimed to be an alias of the Sumerian god Ninurta. [63] The ...
460. Rethinking Mitanni/Hanigalbat [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History IV:1 (Jan 1982) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION Rethinking Mitanni/Hanigalbat Lester J. Mitcham Owing to a basic misunderstanding of Babylonian chronology and a complete mistreatment of the problems of Assyrian chronology, I accepted the conclusion of Robert Hewsen in his papers on Anatolian chronology.(1 ) A reexamination of the evidence proves that Hewsen has no support for his placement of the Kings of Hanigalbat, who were the known contemporaries of the Assyrian kings Adadnirari I and Shalmaneser I in the period c. 820-770 B.C . When it is recognized that the defeat of the kings of Hanigalbat- Shattuara I, his son Uasashatta, and ...
