532. Velikovsky and Catastrophism: A Hidden Agenda? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... scientific deprecation of biblical history which arose in the 19th century was the mainly Germanic historical and textual analysis of the Bible, with which Velikovsky would also have been made painfully familiar in his secular education. Spanning some 100 years, it challenged the authenticity of every section of the Jewish Bible by arguing that its major components were copies of earlier Babylonian or Canaanite prototypes and that its present form was a craftily selected composite of various sometimes contradictory earlier sources, not an original document dictated by God to Moses. So extreme was this attack upon the Jewish Bible that, to quote a leading commentary at the turn of the century: "religious terms, ideas, institutions, once supposed ...
533. In Search Of A Publisher. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... for the vast scholarship and originality of your manuscript. Our basic reason for not going ahead is that we do not believe Worlds in Collision to be a book for the general public, and we are publishers of quite a small list aimed wholly at this market. The admirable erudition displayed in your discussion of Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek, Babylonian, Chinese and Mayan records does not seem to us in any way designed for the general reader but wholly for specialists. It seems to us that in its present form, the book would be an admirable one for the Smithsonian Institute [sic] or some university press to publish. A popular version would require almost literally a translation ...
534. A Fly And A Raisin, Atwater Thrown Overboard. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... : "I make one guess; the speaker is Mr. Kaempffert of The New York Times." In his opening words I already heard something of his argument. He did not say who he was, nor did he contradict my guess. When it became clear that my guess was right, the audience cheered. He spoke of Babylonian tablets, and at that point I decided to evaluate his answer to me of two days before. I cited from memory the issue, the sources, book, year, and page. After further exchange of words, back and forth, in order to characterize Kaempffert's way of acknowledging his guilt, I told a little story: ...
535. A Skyscraper And A Sparrow. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... passing once more close to Jupiter, it was whisked by the planet from its orbit into a hyperbola and out of the solar system. Thus in twelve years it experienced three strong disturbances on near approaches to planets. The "second objection" concerned the eclipses. Stewart said: 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 .. . strongly suggests that no unaccountable ...
536. A Boy From Texas. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... . I think that Merneptah is the Pharaoh Hophra. He wrote me that he would read Manetho as quoted by Josephus (" from a 1832 edition of my brother Robert who has an over-supply of books") and "try to get all the information I can out of the Cambridge Ancient History about the Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Hebrews, Phoenicians, Greeks, and Persians. .. . I don't know when the second volume of Ages in Chaos' will be published so I would like very much if you would help me by giving me some hint as to how I can finish this reconstruction. The end of the first volume left me dangling and ...
537. Before The Chair Of Jupiter. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... antiquity and its name was in the mouth of everyone? Its movement is not spectacular; once in twelve years it circles the sky. It is a brilliant planet, but it does not dominate the heavens. Yet Apollo- the sun- the dispenser of light and warmth, was only a secondary deity." After explaining that Marduk was the Babylonian name of the planet Jupiter and Mazda its Persian name, Einstein expressed his wonder. Then I told him that in the Iliad it is said that Zeus can pull all the other gods and the Earth with his chain, being stronger than all of them together; and that an old commentary (by Eustathius, a Byzantine scholar) ...
538. Naptha, Part 1 Venus Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... as "flaming fire," and in Daniel (7 :10) as "river of fire" or "fiery stream." In the Passover Haggadah it is said that "mighty men of Pul and Lud [Lydia in Asia Minor] were destroyed with consuming conflagration on the Passover." In the valley of the Euphrates the Babylonians often referred to "the rain of fire," vivid in their memory.(11) All the countries whose traditions of fire-rain I have cited actually have deposits of oil: Mexico, the East Indies, Siberia, Iraq, and Egypt. For a span of time after the combustive fluid poured down, it may well have ...
539. The Thirteenth Dynasty [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of Byblos and the end of the name of Neferhotep I. At Mari, in the ruins of the palace of Zimri-Lim, a cuneiform inventory tablet refers to King Yantin of Byblos who sent Zimri-Lim a gold vase. Zirnri-Lim is synchronized at two points in the reign of Hammurabi: in Hammurabi's tenth year Shamshi-Adad I made a pact with the Babylonian king but apparently died the same year. Zimri-Lim is said to have returned from exile and ascended the throne soon afterward, although this may have been delayed until the fourth year of Ishme-Dagan (H . Lewy, Welt des Orients, 2:516, 438-53; cf. K. A. Kitchen, Orientalia, 36:43 ...
540. Sardanapallus and Arbaces [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... we arrive at the beginning of Arbaces' reign at about 820 to 780. (2 ) We can conclude that "Sardanapallus" was not Assurbanipal. Of course his name was that of the real Assurbanipal, but we can explain the cause of this mistake: the real Assurbanipal was the last important king of the Assyrians. Medes and Babylonians overthrew the Assyrian empire c. 612. But clearly a considerable time before that another Mede, Arbaces, overthrew the reign of another Assyrian king. Since the fact was forgotten that there were really two Median successes against the Assyrians, it was easy to conclude that Arbaces killed Assurbanipal. (3 ) The effeminate king "Sardanapallus" ...
