622. Implications for Chronology if Certain 'Historical' Characters are Mythological [Journals] [SIS Review]
... converted to mythical traditions and diffused around the globe? There is a perfectly simple and logical reason why Gilgamesh and Herakles share so many features in common: both are modelled upon a celestial prototype, one that inspired similar and sometimes virtually identical mythical personas around the globe [6 ]. That Gilgamesh, like Herakles, was identified with the Babylonian god Nergal is consistent with his celestial origin, the latter being explicitly identified with the planet Mars. What is amazing is that otherwise insightful and sober-minded scholars have no trouble recognising traditional mythical motifs "in the sacred histories of other cultures, yet somehow fail to perceive that the Old Testament is riddled with similar motifs. James Frazer, ...
623. The Mosaic Calendar and the Sabbath [Journals] [Aeon]
... not have been demanded had this calendric arrangement failed to work. What needs to be emphasized is that this calendar demands a year of 365 days- no more, no less. The major inference here is that there was no leap year to disrupt this ordinance. This sacred calendar worked so well, it was not questioned until after the Babylonian Exile which came to an end after 500 BC. Within the Old Testament commentaries of this time appears the statement that God will cause Israel to forget its feast days. A calendric law which stipulates a cycle of 51 Sabbaths, each to be held every seventh day, plus an additional cycle containing a double Sabbath, has to regulate ...

... of such perturbation is revealed in beliefs like that of the people of Flanders in Belgium. Thus we read: "In Menin (Flanders) the peasants say, on seeing a comet: The sky is going to fall; the earth is turning over! ' "( 17) 1. See, e.g ., the Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Taanit 20: Tractate Avoda Zara 25a. 2. Pirkei Rabbi Elieser 41; Ginzberg, Legends, VI, 45-46 3. Rashi, the commentator, is surprised by the combination of the words, "at the turning of the morning" (lifnot haboker). The word lifnot (from pana), when ...
625. The Lesser Light [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... as 1910 M. Jastrow proposed the idea that Saturn was a steady or permanent mock-sun- performing the same function of furnishing light at night that Samas [Shamash-the Sun] performed during the day.". . . Furthermore, there is undeniable evidence that the concept of a night sun' as well as a day-sun' existed in ancient Babylonian thought. The latter was viewed as the greater and the former lesser of the two chief lights of heaven, one to serve during the day and the other at night. '" 5 A primordial Saturnian predecessor could perhaps itself have been known to the ancients as the "planet" Saturn6 (by whatever name)- from whom ...
626. Letters to the Editor C&AH 3:2 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... catastrophe flooding, especially in southern Mesopotamia) must be examined in light of the earlier extra-terrestrial influences involved. The royal tombs of Ur in Late Helladic contexts suggest that Amarna and Ugarit and somewhat later texts be searched- Sumerian was certainly not a dead language then, nor was Akkadian- for corroboration. The deities most frequently represented on Old Babylonian cylinder seals are Martu2 and Nergal (the planet Mars3)- obviously, according to the reconstruction, best placed into those theomachian times. Or, if one forgets the battle of Kadesh synchronism established by analysis of events and feels that Hattusilis/Nebukadnezar could not have lived as late as c. 610-5704 because he sent letters to Babylon ...
627. Retrospect [Journals] [SIS Review]
... he took recourse to an improbable but not to be discounted supposition that the deviation resulted from "the capture of a rather large foreign heavenly body into the solar system in historic time" (my emphasis). Huber studied under B. VAN DER WAERDEN. In an article published in the Journal of Near Eastern Studies in 1951, this Babylonian scholar discussed that about the year -700 the spring equinox was moved by one month - this could result from nothing but a natural phenomenon. Also the ratio of the day to the night at the summer solstice changed very definitely. Similar changes were recorded in Egypt at the same time. Huber cited the Venus tablets of Ammizaduga, a ...
628. Centuries of Darkness? - a Challenge to the Conventional Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , if not the actual reign lengths attributed to individual monarchs. While there may be scope both for shortening some reigns and for overlapping or parallel reigns or even dynasties, it is questionable whether this would amount to as much as 250 years. In C & C Workshop 1990:2 , Anthony Rees retains the accepted dating of Assyrian and Babylonian kings, while reducing New Kingdom dates. Unfortunately, if the identification of Hanigalbat in the Assyrian records with Mitanni is accepted, it is impossible that Shalmaneser I, who conquered it and absorbed it into Assyria, could have preceded Akhenaten, a contemporary of Tushratta of Mitanni, by 150 years! Further work is required, therefore, ...
629. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... In summary, however, Alice Miller's Index is certain to prove an invaluable tool for those concerned with developing Velikovsky's ideas. Although I can see ways in which it might have been improved, these do not seriously detract from its usefulness, and its compiler deserves our thanks and congratulations. J.D .M .S . In Brief BABYLONIAN PLANETARY OMENS: PART ONE. THE VENUS TABLET OF AMMISADUQA by Erica Reiner in collaboration with David Pingree. Bibliotheca Mesopotamica, Vol. Two, Fascicle One (Malibu: Undena Publications, 1975). This 53-page work is the first in a new publication series which will eventually cover the tablets containing the planetary omens of the Enuma Anu ...

... parted the sea, and so on. He says that in the time of Exodus the serpent and staff were not idolatrous but in the time of Hezekiah, king of Judah, they were. Later, the serpent became a symbol of evil, he declares, and was inserted into the Garden of Eden story (which was really a Babylonian tale). Likewise, Solomon had two cherubim with ten metre wingspans erected each side of the Temple portico, and clearly they were not regarded at that time as idolatrous and neither did they infringe God's holy laws or commandments. The Deuteronomist leaves the impression that the Northern Kingdom was a land of heathens on the basis of a new ...
