... been required due to glitches in the rotation that may have affected agriculture. He also notes the Pleiades star cluster marked the Celtic fire festival of Beltane (but see also Mandelkehr) which may indicate the synodic period of Saturn was used as an absolute check on the calendar. This may have been the same reason Venus was observed by the Babylonians and the Maya. Indeed, some investigators have suggested a Pleiades alignment was in use at Stonehenge and at Callanish. Lastly, as a point of interest, he notes Pliny claimed the druids used a lunar calendar (and note Alexander Thom's work in this field). The difficulty in constructing such a calendar lies in reconciling the lunar ...
632. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... issue of SIS REVIEW]. Ancient History Study Group A meeting of the Ancient History Study Group was held at 11 Dulwich Court, Underhill Road, London SE23, on Sunday 6th October 1985. Discussion centred on possible revisions of Mesopotamian chronology which was linked to Egyptian chronology either directly or via the Hittite Empire. It appeared possible to lower Babylonian and Assyrian dates prior to the mid 16th century BC by 140-150 years by assuming parallel dynasties in Assyria. However, a further reduction by about 100 years would be needed to produce the required synchronisms with the Egyptian chronology proposed by Peter James and David Rohl. The debate continues.... Once again sincere thanks are due to ...
633. It Ain't Necessarily So" [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... pp. 263-4 5. In Jan. 1982 I circulated a short discussion paper to certain members of the SIS, in which I explored the possible background of Shoshenk's list in the context of the "Glasgow Chronology". There I suggested a setting in the early 6th century BC, and identified the "armies of Mitanni" with the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar. (Specifically, I identified Shoshenk's campaign with the Egyptian advance mentioned in Jer. 37:5-11, which temporarily relieved Judah in 588/7 .) Geographically, however, Mitanni works better as an archaism for Assyria. Erratum David Slade asks that we correct a mistake in his article in WORKSHOP 5:1 , ...
634. Brains Trust - Chronology and Ancient History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Were there any ordinary representations of the sun? Why are all the representations of Shamash and whatever assumed to be Saturn? Did people in Babylonia and Egypt never depict what they actually saw in the sky? Dwardu Cardona said he was not sure they saw the sun until very late but, yes, they did before. During Egyptian and Babylonian times obviously the sun was there and they did see it. They simply weren't interested in it; it didn't do anything spectacular, so they did not depict it. Q11. Dwardu Cardona was asked how, in the earliest period described as the era of darkness, with a light intensity which was insufficient for photosynthesis, did the ...
635. Myths of the Great Fire (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... . The Sidrâ Rabbi the Great Book', a collection of sacred writings, also known as Ginz, Treasure', of the Mandaeans, a very exclusive tribal Oriental Gnostic sect of great antiquity, tells of three total destructions of the human race, by fire and water, a single pair alone surviving in each case. In the Babylonian Gilgamesh poem, the fire-rain which preceded the Great Flood is also mentioned. Its constituents are called the Anunaki, who rush through the heavens with their torches uplifted. In Finnish poems we are told that Fire, the child of the Sun (the Tertiary satellite is meant), came down from heaven. There it had been rocked ...
636. Rejoinder to Aaronson [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... redated forward by 458 years he would date ca. 1052-1037. Tiglath-pileser I (1060-1022) also refers to an Ashur-nadin-ahhe. A redating of the IInd king of that name by 458 years would date him 941-932, while a redating of Ashur-nadin-ahhe I by 458 years gives a date of ca. 982. When we look at the requirements of Babylonian chronology, and this has to be done by way of cross-synchronizations with Assyria, we find that Brad again creates problems with his proposed Assyrian scenario. The Kassite, Kashtiliash IV was defeated by Tukulti-Ninurta I. By Brad's dating this would be ca. 760; and which would require Brad to date the successors of Kashtiliash IV in the ...

... [to be thrown into the fire]."(12) What possible reason was there for this custom? Could it not be because periodically Venus, seen with flowing "hair" in the sky, was causing mischief and people wanted to appease her? Velikovsky well documented Venus' hairy appearances He showed that both the Arabs and Babylonians called Venus by a name which means "one with hair'.(14) Today people of the Golog tribe of western China, as an act of worship, offer small locks of hair to the deities.(15) Saba, an Ethiopian City Velikovsky gave the argument that the Queen of Sheba was Ethiopian,(16) ...

639. Did Saturn Explode Twice? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . In Worlds in Collision (p . 76), Velikovsky describes how the 13th was considered an inauspicious day because of its association with Venus: "The thirteenth day is a very bad day. You shall not do anything on that day." Indeed the very number "13" is unlucky as we all know. In the Babylonian calender, the nineteenth day of all months is marked "day of wrath" of the goddess Gula (Ishtar) and no work was done (see W. in C. p. 172). Days associated with Venus became taboo or inauspicious because of their association with that planet; might not one expect the same to apply ...
