... "climates" dividing the sphere from north to south and, most important, the "sky" as well as the waters of the south have a share in the "inhabited world" allotted to them [n10 To clear up the exact range of the three worlds, it would be necessary to work out the whole history of the Babylonian "Ways of Anu, Enlil, and Ea" (cf. pp. 431f.), and how these "Ways" were adapted, changed, and defined anew by the many heirs of ancient oriental astronomy. And then we would not yet be wise to the precise whereabouts of Air, Saltwater, and other ambiguous items ...
512. Solving the Exodus Mystery by Ted T. Stewart [Journals] [SIS Review]
... appointed Vizier 1656 Jacob enters Egypt 1526 Moses born 1446 The Exodus The first synchronisms he sought were the reigns of Kedor-Laomer, and his allies Amraphel of Shinar, Arioch of Eilasar, and Tidal of Goiim, and he looked for these in the CAH of Babylonia. In looking for these, he noted that Peter Huber had shown that the Babylonian dates given in the CAH needed to be changed by 56 years, so that Hammurabi's reign becomes 1848-1806, and the Grand Regent of Elam, Shilkhakha, reigned from 1886 to 1856. Stewart states that Elam was governed by a triumvirate and Kudur-Marduk, another member of the triumvirate, conquered Larsa and appointed his sons to rule it from ...
513. Eclipses in Ancient Times [Journals] [Pensee]
... would be proof that neither Mars nor Venus nor any other massive bodies have since come close to the Earth, the reader is invited to consider this question in greater detail. Velikovsky is quite wrong in saying that "our knowledge of ancient eclipses comes mainly from Claudius Ptolemy." Several modern scholars (notably Fotheringham) have examined Grecian, Babylonian, and Chinese records and listed passages which seem to describe solar eclipses. A brief survey of astronomical publications reveals at least three recorded total eclipses of the Sun before -687 (the supposed date of Velikovsky's last catastrophe) which have been considered by computers to fit the present motions. This evidence, reinforced by equally early records of lunar ...
514. Shamir [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , a symbol of the humiliation of the Israelites. One by one the Philistine cities succumbed to a great plague - something invariably associated with the aftermath of meteoric incidents. The Philistines in the end deposited the Ark in the city of Beth Shemesh on the border with Israel, it was later claimed. Beth Shemesh is a Canaanite form of Babylonian Shamash, a bright shining deity that has been compared with the sun. It was also a city that was associated with Samson, the strong One, the giant who in a final heave of strength toppled and brought the temples of the Philistines crashing down, a story that may reflect the blast of a meteoric explosion. Returning to ...
515. More on Jonathan Swift abd the Moons of Mars (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... discovered by J. D. Cassini in the 1660's, after the time of Kepler and Galileo. Kepler's assumption that Galileo had discovered a red spot in Jupiter amazes and defies every statistical chance of being a mere guess. But the possibility is not excluded that Kepler found the information in some Arab author or some other source, possibly of Babylonian or Chinese origin. Kepler did not disclose what the basis of his reference to the red spot of Jupiter was - he could not have arrived at it either by logic and deduction or by sheer guesswork. A scientific prediction must follow from a theory as a logical consequence. Kepler had no theory on that. It is asserted that ...

... soul searching. [n7 Firdausi, Warner trans., vol. 4, pp. 272ff.] 41 He fears he may "grow arrogant in soul, corrupt in thought" like his predecessors Yima (Jamshyd) and, among others, Kai Ka'us himself, who had tried to get himself carried to heaven by eagles like the Babylonian Etana. So he makes the supreme decision: "And now I deem it better to depart To God in all my glory. . . Because this Kaian crown and throne will pass." The great Shah, then, who had once stated (at his first joint enthronement) : "The whole world is my kingdom, ...
... days of the Philistines twenty years. 166 The passage has been bowdlerized in the Revised Version to make it more plausible, but verse 18 is an unshakable reminder that this was not an ordinary bone, or even "the place" of it as suggested recently. For that jaw is in heaven. It was the name given by the Babylonians to the Hyades, which were placed in Taurus as the "Jaw of the Bull." If we remember the classic tag "the rainy Hyades" it is because Hyades meant "watery." In the Babylonian creation epic, which antedates Samson, Marduk uses the Hyades as a boomerang-like weapon to destroy the brood of heavenly monsters ...
519. On the Need for "Serious Scientific Meetings" [Journals] [Pensee]
... it any wonder that those who came to San Francisco hoping Velikovsky's work would be subjected to a genuine test left the arena disappointed? To select but one example: If Huber, who set about interpreting the Venus tablets of Ammizaduga, had at least responded to the one major discussion of that subject vis-a-vis Velikovsky (L . Rose, "Babylonian Observations of Venus," Pensee, Winter, 1972-73), he might have furthered the current evaluation of Velikovsky's work, if only by acknowledging Rose's contentions and rebutting them. Instead, he brought to the tablets those very uniformitarian assumptions Rose had discredited, and, to no one's surprise, emerged with uniformitarian conclusions. Would any scholar ...
520. Catastrophism and the Old Testament: The Mars-Earth Conflicts by Donald Wesley Patten [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 500 miles over a 5,000 F to 6,000 F mantle), spin axis precession', huge sub-crustal tides, increased volcanism, and reversals of the geomagnetic field. These effects together with the cosmic spectacle fostered a wave of mythic tales among ancient civilisations. Mars was Ba'al to the Phoenicians, Bel to the Chaldeans and Babylonians. Ba'al became Apollo in Greek. Apollo's son Phæthon was Mars in a close flyby; Mars' flux tube was Typhon and the silver bowstring of Apollo Shootafar and the Gorgon's hair. In the Old Testament, Mars is Ba'al or Bel and also, inter alia, the Pillar of Fire, Leviathan, Mazzaroth, Arcturus, Nergal ...
