... Byzantine monk, Georgius Syncellus, one of the chief sources of ancient chronology, synchronized the forty-eighth year of Uzziah and the first year of the first Olympiad.6 But according to modern calculations, the first year of the first Olympiad was -776.7 The Olympiads most probably were inaugurated by some cosmic event. The text of the ancient Chinese book of Shiking refers to some celestial phenomenon in the days of the king Yen-Yang, in -776: the sun was obscured.8 If the occurrence of -776 was of the same nature as that of -747, then Amos' prophecy was a prognostication based on an earlier experience. 1 F. Cumont, Astrology and Religion among the ...
302. The Worship Of Mars, Part 2 Mars Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... of Rome, but that the very date of the perturbation would have been a celebrated date in the cult of Mars. The year of the second campaign of Sennacherib against Palestine is established by modern research as -687. The Talmud helps to set the time of the year: it was the night of the feast of spring, Passover. Chinese sources give the exact date, midnight of the 23rd of March, -687, as the date of a great cosmic activity. The main festival in the cult of Mars took place in the month dedicated to this godplanet. "The ancilia, or sacred shields . . . were carried in procession by the Salii, or dancing warrior-priests ...
303. Mars Moves The Earth From Its Pivot, Part 2 Mars Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... comes like a raging storm. He is also called Sharappu, "the burner," and "light that flames from heaven," and "lord of destruction."12 Mars was generally regarded by other peoples, too, as a "fire-star."13 Ying-Huo, or the fire planet, is the name of Mars in Chinese astronomical charts.14 Sargon ( -724 to -705), father of Sennacherib, wrote on one occasion: "In the month of Abu, the month of descent of the fire-god."15 But we ask for a direct statement that the planet Mars-Nergal was the immediate cause of the cataclysms in the eighth and seventh centuries, ...
304. The Terrible Ones, Part 2 Mars Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... (genitive, Martis) would be of the same origin as Marut. It is therefore gratifying to read that the philological relation has already been established.28 It is even more satisfactory that this philological equation was made without knowledge of the actual relation between the planet Mars and "the terri ble ones." By comparing Hebrew historical, Chinese astronomical, and Latin ecclesiastical material, we have established that it was the planet Mars which caused a series of catastrophes in the eighth and seventh centuries before this era. The Greek epos explained ho w it happened that Venus ceased and Mars began to be a threat to the earth. In heavenly battles, Arcs or Nergal, both ...
305. The Pageants Of The Sky, Part 2 Mars Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... literature and art and also in the religion of peoples. There is probably no nation that does not use this symbol or this creature as an important motif, yet it does not exis t. Several scholars thought that possibly it represented some extinct menace that impressed mankind to a much greater degree than any other creature since it appears on the Chinese flag, and in pictures showing Archangel Michael or St. George in battle wi th it, in Egyptian mythology, in Mexican hieroglyphics and bas-reliefs, and in Assyrian bas-reliefs. However, bones of this presumably extinct reptile have not been found. From the description of the comet Typhon that spread like an animal over the sky with its ...
... The difference depends on the number of catastrophes that the particular people retained in its memory, or on the way it reckoned the end of an age." 39 Lewis M. Greenberg pointed out that Velikovsky "acknowledged that there was a tradition of seven ages (Etruscan, Persian, sacred Hindu and Hebrew writings), ten ages (Chinese), and nine ages (Polynesian and Iceland) as well, while carefully pointing out that the number of years ascribed to various ages differed, (W in C. pp. 30-33). Nothing was hidden."40 Sagan's remarks to the contrary that, ". .. in the Bhagavad Gita and in the Vedas ...
307. Planetary Motions, Egyptian Unit Fractions and the Fibonacci Series [Journals] [Horus]
... nugget that Plato in his Timaeus considered 0, the ratio 0.6180... to be the key to the physics of the universe.[16] It is an unanswered question whether Babylonians and Egyptians understood a completed synodic equation, or whether we do today, or whether it was part of a revealed knowledge transmitted from the Chinese or other source. Babylonians used reciprocal fractions and they were aware of binomial sums, and, of course, they were concerned with various types of means and ratios, including the harmonic mean; and they may be seen to bear a likelihood of resemblance to the synodic equation.[17] To point out inadequacies in the accuracy ...
308. Wer Herrschte Im Industal? (Who Reigned in the Indus Valley?) by Gunnar Heinsohn (Book review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... civilisations of the orient, which are known to have risen around 1000 BC. Thus, pottery and artwork of the Ganges area which is identical to that of the Indus, is nevertheless dated almost 2,000 years later than the Indus material. Heinsohn shows that the supposed 2,000 year head-start of the Near Eastern cultures (the Chinese, Mexican and South American civilisation all commence around 1000 BC) is simply the result of applying the sacred numerology of the Bible to the actual history of the Near East. These dates need to be dropped, and the starting-point of the civilisations of Egypt and Mesopotamia lowered to 1000 BC, to be in line with the rest. ...
309. Chapter VI: the Probable Hor-shesu Worship [Books]
... the length of the shadow will be least; when the sun is most removed from the zenith the shadow will be longest. The day on which the shortest shadow is thrown at noon will define the summer solstice; when the shadow is longest we shall have the winter solstice. This, in fact, was the method adopted by the Chinese to determine the solstices, and from it very early they found a value of the obliquity of the ecliptic. It may be said that this is only a statement, and that the record has been falsified, some years ago anyone who was driven by facts to come to the conclusion that any very considerable antiquity was possible in these ...
310. Extinction And Survival [Books]
... the moment of its death.17 Undigested food was also found in the stomach. Many more carcasses must have come to light during the Siberian summers, but were never discovered, or were only found after putrefaction was completed and only skeletons left. Millions of prehistoric mammal skeletons must exist in Siberia: it has long been known that the Chinese and Middle East ivories of Antiquity were made from tusks found in the Siberian steppes. Inside the Arctic Circle, the New Siberian Islands, Novaya Zemlya, etc., reveal huge masses of bones of mammoths, rhinoceroses, buffaloes, horses, and other animals, mixed with uprooted trees and fossilized charcoal. Northern Asia tells the same ...
