... put our heads between our hands and do some real thinking about universal and lasting peace." I know of only one way to serve science and religion- by pursuing truth. I did not think to serve religion by concealing the historical events I believe I have discovered. And it is certainly not to the detriment of Israel that the Hebrew Bible is shown to be an essentially true book. My reviewer would prefer that we keep our belief in miracles rather than accept natural proofs of the veracity of the Bible. This reminds me of a cartoon I once saw. In an American church a tall seventeen-year-old young man sits on the knees of Santa Claus while small children wait from ...
302. Venus Moves Irregularly, Part 1 Venus Ch.10 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season . . . ? Knowest thou the changes of heaven?"(24) There exists an extensive exegetic literature on this Mazzaroth,(25) from which it can be concluded only that "the meaning of Mazzaroth is uncertain."(26) But the Vulgate (Latin) translation of the Bible has Lucifer for Mazzaroth. The (Greek) translation of the Seventy (Septuagint) reads: "Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season and guide the Evening Star by his long hair?" The words of the Septuagint seem very strange. I have already mentioned that the Greek word komet means "the long-haired one," ...
303. Ignis E Coelo, Part 2 Mars Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... of the god. Thus the god with the sacred mouse was a god of devouring fire. However, interpreting the mouse as a symbol of bubonic plague,6 the commentators agreed with Josephus that Sennacherib's army must have been destroyed by a plague. It is peculiar that the numerous commentators of Herodotus and the no less numerous commentators of the Bible did not draw attention to a certain coincidence in these descriptions of the calamity. Hezekiah became gravely ill of some bubonic affection and was near death. Isaiah was called. He told the king that he would die, but soon he returned and offered a remedy- a lump of figs for the boil- and told the king that ...
304. Moses Pharaoh of Egypt - the mystery of Akhenaten resolved [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Akhenaten. The famous 400 years of Genesis 15:13 and the 430 years of Exodus 12:40 constitutes a serious problem for anyone who insists on attaching importance to figures quoted in any ancient literature. It seems sensible, as a general rule, to adopt the principle that where figures are quoted in ancient literature, whether in the Bible, Herodotus or elsewhere, and they are in conflict with what appears to be a compelling construction of events in other respects, any significance attached to such figures should be abandoned until an alternative interpretation can be found. Osman does not disappoint here and this factor alone transforms his thesis from being merely an arguable reconstruction into one that I ...

306. Thera and the Exodus: the Cause and the Effect [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Here the sand-spit runs in a general NE-SW direction parallel to any tsunami crest arriving from Thera. If the wave height was sufficiently high this could be the place for Dr Goedicke's scenario, but unfortunately the distance in excess of 100 km from Rameses is too far for men and cattle to walk in the three days' march described in the Bible. The ancient position of the echrima of Dr Galanopoulos's theory much have been somewhere in the region of Katib el-Qals. The distance from Rameses counts against it. Also, the Lake Bardawil sand-spit (the Via Maris) was only usable as a practical route to the East between 2700 and 500 BP when it was elevated above sea level ...
307. Sagan's Folly Part 1 [Journals] [Kronos]
... it happens, we do have a wealth of "graphic recordings" (e .g . the dragon and serpent motifs, symbols on Shang bronzes, scenes of theomachy, ubiquitous universal symbols of a cosmic nature that are not explicable or properly understood by uniformitarian analysis, papyri and other cultural sacred writings, and last but not least- the Bible (5 ) ). 4) The depiction of a terrifying experience may be transmuted and not obviously recognizable for what it is. A case in point is the Japanese reaction to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; the survivors produced no "graphic recordings" for an event easier comparable to the localized experience of a cosmic catastrophe ...
308. A Brief Response to Marvin Luckerman [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the late Dr. Aharoni wrote in the Biblical Archaeologist, "We therefore arrive at a most startling conclusion: the Biblical traditions associated with the Negeb battles cannot represent the historical sources from the days of Moses and Joshua, since nowhere in the Negeb are there any remains of the Late Bronze Age. However, the reality described in the Bible corresponds exactly to the situation in the Middle Bronze Age, when two tels, and two tels only, defended the eastern Negeb against the desert marauders, and the evidence points toward the identification of these tels with the ancient cities of Arad and Hormah. Thus the biblical tradition preserves a faithful description of the geographical-historical situation as it was ...
309. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... hidden agenda'. He considers that Velikovsky was led astray in his revision of ancient history through his own hidden agenda, which was a desire to reinforce the claims of his race in Israel. Although Velikovsky had made a good case in undermining the accepted chronology of ancient Egypt, he had failed to realise that he had throughout accepted the Bible blindly as a fundamentally accurate historical record. We were fortunate that another great revisionist was able to be present and that Gunnar Heinsohn allowed himself to be prevailed upon to give a short survey of his ideas and their origins. He started by admitting that he himself was not free of a hidden agenda', in that he desired to ...
310. Abraham to Hezekiah: An Archaeological Revision Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... show the effects of intense burning. These facts are uncontested and agree perfectly with the biblical narrative of the conquest of Jericho and Ai recorded in Joshua 6:1-8:29.(8 ) 3. Shechem was at most a small unfortified village during EBIII and would not have been capable of resisting the Israelites. This explains why the Bible gives no account of a confrontation with Canaanite forces when the Israelites went there to recite the blessings and curses of the law (Deuteronomy 27; Joshua 8 :3O~35). Arad and Hormah, on the other hand, were both occupied during EBIII and both experienced a discontinuity at the end of that period. Arad was ...
