... 6 The fact that ziggurats, towers, step pyramids, and simple mountains and hills (on some of which human sacrifices were carried out) served for astronomical observation offers strong indication for terrestrial catastrophes of cosmic origin. Thus the gods to be appeased by sacrifice can be identified as the planets involved in these catastrophes, or deifications of other celestial bodies. For a period later than that dealt with here, Immanuel Velikovsky,7 in a hitherto unrefuted thesis based on widely differing arguments, has traced the deification of Venus and Mars to cosmic catastrophes in which these planets participated. Without the assumption that their unusual cosmic events produced effects also felt on the earth, it would be ...
692. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... replied, "Thou art right." Moses then stripped his brother of his priestly garments, and put them upon Aaron's son, Eleazar. [636] As it would have been improper if Aaron had been buried quite naked, God brought about the miracle that, as soon as Moses took off one of Aaron's garments, a corresponding celestial garment was spread over Aaron, and when Moses had stripped him of all his priestly garments, he found himself arrayed in eight celestial garments. A second miracle came to pass in the stripping of Aaron's garments, for Moses was enabled to take off the undermost garments before the upper. This was done in order to satisfy the law ...
693. Discussion Comments From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... first displacement of the first pole star known to man. As they themselves inform us on page 146, this age was known as "the Golden Age, in Latin tradition, Saturnia regna, the reign of Saturn; in Greek, Kronos." They do not, however, illuminate us as to why Saturn was chosen as the celestial monarch of that age. While it is stated on page 148 that the "Lord of the Mill is declared to be Saturn/Kronos," nowhere is it explained why this planet, or god, was chosen by the ancients to play the part of the pole star. All these writers could reiterate on page 140 is that ...
694. Sothic Dating: A "Surrealjoinder" (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Mage's remarks. He questions my use of the verb "shown" in reference to the Senmut and Ramesseum astronomical ceilings. Of course these ceilings were not for "show". The calendar was surely important in the after life or it would not appear on a tomb or temple ceiling but that variety in depiction meant a change in the celestial order is an unproved proposition. On these two ceilings see paragraphs secs. 220-225 in my Calendars where the great differences in composition are gone into. With regard to the introduction of the civil calendar Mage takes the line that it was "radically new" and its introduction "was obviously a major (literally epochal) event with crucial ...
695. Chaldean Account of Genesis [Books]
... by chaos of monsters are vividly given. The chaos is presided over by a female power named Tisalat and Tiamat, corresponding to the Thalatth of Berosus; but, as it proceeds, the Assyrian account agrees rather with the Bible than with the short account from Berosus. We are told, in the inscriptions, of the fall of the celestial being who appears to correspond to Satan. In his ambition he raises his hand against the sanctuary of the God of heaven, and the description of him is really magnificent. He is represented riding in a chariot though celestial space, surrounded by the storms, with the lightning playing before him, and wielding a thunderbolt as a weapon ...
696. Chapter XXIX: the Mythology of Isis and Osiris [Books]
... , while, so far as I know, Hathor is limited to stars. If we accept the general statement regarding Isis, namely, that it was a term applied to anything appearing to the eastward and heralding sunrise, many of our difficulties at once disappear. The Isis of the pyramid-temples and of the smaller temple of Denderah symbolised different celestial bodies, though they served the same purpose. The Hathor of the greater temple of Denderah, and the Hathor of Dêr el-Bahari, symbolised different celestial bodies, but their function was the same. On the other hand, the Hathor of Denderah and the Mut of Thebes were neither different divinities, nor did they personify different stars, ...
697. ALL Honorable Men [Books]
... . "What did I just say? That was polemical and unfair. I apologize. They are all honorable men." (11) What was the cause of Wilson's condemnation of CSICOP? In October of 1981, Fate magazine published an article by Dennis Rawlins titled "Starbaby." Rawlins is a Harvard University physics graduate specializing in celestial mechanics and an insider at CSICOP having been one of its co-founders in 1976 and a member of its Executive Council until 1979, until he got the boot. He also acted as an associate editor for The Skeptical Inquirer. In 1977 Rawlins learned that one of the earliest analyses of astrology carried out by that journal was fraudulent. When ...
698. Thoth Vol I, No. 25: November 3, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... why did the planet Venus figure so prominently in the calculations of world ages? Perhaps the answer lies with the famous Calendar Stone, on which the time-keeping hieroglyphs are recorded. Enclosing the stone, and thus encompassing the entire cycle or world age is the two-fold form of the great serpent Xiuhcoatl, the mythical parent of comets, the great celestial torch launched against the rebel powers when the world was overrun by demons of chaos. That the archetypal comet should define the great cycle of time does not surprise us. For it seems that bringing one world age to an end and inaugurating another is, in the universal tradition, the comet's most distinctive role. ONE FEAR, MANY ...
699. The Olympian Rulers [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Jupiter was the new central body of the sky, shining alternately or together with the Sun, while still looming large to Earth. Even in the time of Biblical Abraham, Jupiter was said to make the night-time bright [6 ]. It was the name of the planet and of the new reigning god who ordained a new phase of celestial stability. Impressionable mankind, eternally grateful for favors tendered by its cruel gods. exalted Jupiter as the god of law and order. To him was attributed a strict righteousness that not only bound up his father Saturn, but bound up himself so that he would obey his own laws. The ancients unmistakably perceived the rings of Saturn and ...
700. The Electrical Axis and its Gaseous Radiation [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of hot matter. So it was too in Solaria Binaria; the arc pulsed regularly responding to some natural rhythm between the forces leading to extinction and the forces promoting resurrection. High gas densities favor brief, frequently recurring, pulses of arcs (Somerville p55). Could this mechanism be the origin of the regular pulses of radiation observed in celestial objects called => pulsars? As the gas density decreases, the arc's pulsing frequency would decline; pulsars show a slowing of the pulse rate with time (Hewish, p1083) [40]. The electric arc operating in Solaria Binaria is a cosmic dis-charge of long duration. Bruce, in the course of seventeen letters about Cosmic ...
