... Eventually these cornets disappeared, either by devolatilization/attrition or by their orbits precessing out of contention with Earth. When such comets disappeared, the ancients transferred their names to other bodies which moved among the stars. Such names include Jupiter, Venus, and Mars. This idea of transferring names of vanished comets to planets gains credence from early Babylonian inscriptions cited by Clube and Napier which give "planetary" names to behaviors that are not planetary, but more consistent with the behavior of comets and meteor showers. An early Babylonian term, bibbu, is translated as "planet" and means "wildsheep." A later Babylonian term, lubat, is also translated as "planet ...
472. My Challenge to Conventional Views in Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... ourselves included, the record of events that took place in circumstances that left a strong imprint on the witnesses. There were physical upheavals on a global scale in historical times; the grandiosity of the events inspired awe. From the Far East to the Far West- the Japanese, Chinese and Hindu civilizations; the Iranian, Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Hitto-Chaldean, Israelite and Egyptian records; the Etruscan, Attic and Roman theogonies and philosophies; Scandinavian and Icelandic epics; Mayan, Toltec and Olmec art and legends- all, with no exception, were dominated by the knowledge of events and circumstances that only the most brazen attitude of science could so completely disregard. The scientific community starts ...
473. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... human artefact found in Britain is a spear point made of deer bone or antler. The latest dating procedure, known as accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating, suggests it is between 28,000 and 27,360 years old but others suggest that modern man reached Europe much earlier, between 37,000 and 43,000 years ago. Babylonian Jewish Calendar Jewish Chronicle The Jewish calendar follows that of the lunar-based Babylonian system developed between 750 and 540 BC. This was originally to distinguish themselves from the Egyptians, who used a solar calendar, and a 2,400 year old Babylonian calendar has been found among the Jewish military colony on Elephantine island in the Nile. Submerged Evidence ...
474. The Milky Way [Journals] [Aeon]
... beliefs surrounding the celestial bodies continue to impact our daily lives. Astrological horoscopes adorn the leading papers and magazines, and at least one world leader- Ronald Reagan- is known to have planned the details of his itinerary in accordance with the portents of his wife's astrological chart, thereby imitating a long line of kings going back to the ancient Babylonians. As incredible as is the prospect of a modern president held pawn by the "science" of astrology, equally incredible is a central tenet of conventional archaeo-astronomy- that the myths and legends sur-rounding the various stars and constellations actually had their origin in the peaceful appearance and mundane movements of those celestial bodies. A greater fallacy it would ...
475. The Listing by Months: An Ancient Study of the Disappearances of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... the east (or west) on such-and-such a date. Each reappearance of Ninsianna is followed by an astrological forecast. About thirty different forecasts are used; two that are repeated fairly often are "the harvest of the land will prosper" and "there will be hostilities in the land". These Ninsianna inscriptions - often associated with the Babylonian king, Ammizaduga, who reigned in the first half of the second millennium - have received much attention from historians and astronomers, including Rawlinson and Smith (1870), Sayce (1874), Virolleaud (1905-1913), Langdon, Fotheringham, and Schoch (1928), and Reiner and Pingree (1975). All but two ...
476. Ancient Near Eastern Chronology: To Revise or not to Revise? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... divine king in a way that subsequent kings of Judah and Israel were not and this has served to magnify their importance. Indeed, we may wonder at this stage what precisely was the nature of David's great military victories over his neighbours. Do the stories reflect the creation of a great empire with first millenium parallels viz, the Assyrians and Babylonians, or have a series of skirmishes been exaggerated due to the divine theme. The rebellion of Absalom, and his brother somewhat later, suggests the reign was far from perfect. Sons rebelling against fathers is a constant theme of Near Eastern kingship during periods of hardship in the physical world (such as drought, poor harvests, floods ...
477. Deportations in the Neo-Assyrian Empire [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... harm the Hebrews experienced. The biblical record nevertheless contains emotional phrases that conjure horrible images of the Israelite captors. One phrase that encapsulates the sorry state of the Israelites is found in Psalms: [3 ] "By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion." [4 ] Although the Babylonian exile of the Judaean tribes was carried out by the Neo-Babylonians, it seems that the northern and southern exile became merged into one experience. It is very difficult to separate the emotional images accompanying both deportations, which, in turn, place the Assyrians in an entirely negative light. How do we escape such propaganda? The only way ...
478. Mother Goddess and Warrior-Hero (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... the evidence for which reaches far beyond the preserved astronomical traditions, including the most familiar figures of folklore and fairy tale. (85) At the second level the inquiry must concentrate on the planetary myths- the explicitly-stated symbols and identities of planets appearing to connect these orbs with the gods of an earlier epoch. Beginning with the Sumerian and Babylonian evidence, the many threads of planetary symbolism can be investigated on every continent, with some astonishing results. And these results will confirm that the Venus archetype is none other than that of the mother goddess, while the Mars archetype is unmistakably that of the warrior-hero. In following this investigation, it is useful to keep in mind certain ...
479. The Year -747, Part 2 Mars Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... . In -747 a new calendar was introduced in the Middle East, and that year is known as "the beginning of the era of Nabonassar." It is asserted that some astronomical event gave birth to this new calendar, but the nature of the event is not known. The beginning of the era of Nabonassar, otherwise an obscure Babylonian king, was an astronomical date used as late as the second Christian century by the great mathematician and astronomer of the Alexandrian school, Ptolemy, and also by other scholars. It was employed as a point of departure of ancient astronomical tables. "This was not a political or religious era. . . . Farther back there was ...
