... have commenced in 815 BC, or shortly afterwards. Where, it will be asked, does Assyrian history record this early invasion of Egypt? Surely the Assyrians would not have forgotten such an important event! Actually, they did not forget it, and the whole episode became entwined in the semi-legendary story of Semiramis (Sammuramat), the Babylonian queen who reigned in Nineveh between 812 and 807 BC. This remarkable woman, it was said, conquered many lands, and according to a story in Diodorus Siculus, her armies had invaded Egypt. The rather lengthy account of Egyptian history in Josephus's AGAINST APION is (in part) Manetho's version of this Assyrian conquest. Here we ...

493. Ninurta [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... impressed by some of the arguments that Ninurta and his variant Ningirsu were once seen, or remembered, as brilliant objects in the sky. Those epithets might apply to Mars as well, but I would be cautious of ditching what seem (to an outsider) like good arguments about the sunlike appearance of Saturn. Otherwise, we have those Babylonian texts which do associate Ninurta with Saturn. Ev says that some texts associate him with other planets, including Mercury. I suppose one approach would be to try to assess the dates and weight (in numbers) of these texts. It won't give an answer in itself, but if it were to turn out that it were only ...

496. The Terrible Ones, Part 2 Mars Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Terror and Rout yoke the gleaming horses of Ares, themselves dreadful beasts, also known by these names; Discord, "sister and comrade of man- slaying Ares, rageth incessantly; she at the first rears her crest but little, yet thereafter planteth her head in heaven, while her feet tread on earth." Similarly, the Babylonians saw the planet Mars-Nergal in the company of demons, and wrote their hymns to Nergal:2 "Great giants, raging demons, with awesome members, run at his right and at his left." These "raging demons" are pictured also in the Nerga l-Eriskigal poem;3 they bring pestilence and cause earthquakes. It appears ...
497. Pluto's Rank Again - Needs Changing... [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... ." There is considerable reason to suspect that the majority of our planet's namesakes were comets- probably of the Encke family. For instance, we can read from W.M . O'Neil (1975): "The word planet comes from the Greek planetes, the wanderers; these seven celestial bodies moved among the fixed stars. The Babylonians had a more picturesque name bibbu, the wild sheep, as these bodies broke through the fixed formation in which the tame sheep crossed the sky." To call into question Greek continuity of planet identity I refer to Leonardo Taran's work on the "Pseudo-Platonic" Epinomis (1975) where in commentary on lines 986 A 8-987 D 2 ...
498. The Catastrophic Substructure of the Samson & Delilah Myth [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... mythology becomes more clearly apparent beneath the later Hebrew version, we are bound to consider that the so-called Creation Story' in Genesis I reflects the aftermath of the kind of cosmogenetical catastrophe described by Immanuel Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision'. Such a catastrophe is usually described in pagan mythologies as being a combat between a good god such as the Babylonian Marduk and a wicked monster or serpent such as Tiamat who is conquered by the good god. Velikovsky has interpreted this as being the way in which primitive people described the interaction of the head of a cometary body and its tail at a time when such a body was in close proximity to the earth. Such a catastrophe reduces the ...
499. Review [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... his labours have been completely wasted. His grand attempt to rewrite world history amounts to another weak exercise in the reductionism popularised by von Däniken, and one that is limited to a small part of the ancient world and flawed by innumerable errors of fact and interpretation. Sometimes it becomes merely pathetic - for example, in his discussion of the Babylonian myth of Etana (p .153) carried to the skies on the back of an eagle, he comments: "We cannot help associating the ancient text with the message beamed to Earth in July 1960 by Neil Armstrong, commander of the Apollo 11 spacecraft: Houston! Tranquility Base here .. . The Eagle has landed! ...
... believe that it was a reference to the Milky Way. I mention this to show how very difficult this inquiry really is. The "seven stars" are held by many to mean the Pleiades, and not the Great Bear; but this, I think, is very improbable. Much is to be hoped from the study of the Babylonian records in relation to the Egyptian ones. This is a point I shall return to in the sequel. In observing stars nowadays, we use a transit circle which is carried round by the earth so as to pick up the stars in different circles round the axis of the earth prolonged, and by altering the inclination of the telescope ...
