... ." [n1 P. Wheeler, The Sacred Scriptures of the Japanese (1952), p. vi.]. Most of Hebrew mythology wears the hempen homespun of peasants and patriarchs from Palestine. Japanese myth bears the mark of an already refined perverse feudal world. back of which there is the baroque elegance and fantasy of late Chinese culture. With this premise, here is the story of the Japanese Samson, Susanowo, whose name means Brave-Swift- Impetuous-Male. No better set of attributes for Mars; he is also officially a god, since his sister Amaterasu, the sun-goddess, is still today the worshiped ancestor of the Imperial dynasty; the courtly precedences are neatly ...

... . Kronos himself, of course, was lauded as "the originator of times." (35) In Egypt, Ra, who was Saturn, was made to say: "I am the maker of hours, the creator of days, I am the opener of the festivals of the year." (36) In the Chinese Compendium of Wong-shi-Shing, we are told of a time when "P'an-ku came forth in the midst of the great chaotic void," having "existed before the shining of the Light." We are further told that "After the chaos cleared away," or "the chaotic state passed away," "heaven appeared first in ...
463. Chapter II: The Events [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... of liberation, but the fourteenth day of the month. It sounds repetitive to say that many ancient cultures had stories of a time when great tides existed, but this is the case. The order of events in these stories is also the same. After the darkness and earthquakes came the tidal waves. From the Choctaw Indians to the Chinese and from Peru to Northern Europe, the stories are similar. A Laplandic epic says that the sea gathered "together itself up into a huge towering wall..."16 The Indians of Yucatan had an ancient tradition about a time when their ancestors had escaped the pursuit of the opposition when a passageway was opened for them in ...
464. Reconsidering Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Evidence of natural disasters in historical times was found by Claude Schaeffer in all the excavation sites in the Middle East. Victor Clube drew to our attention many past events which could be associated with comets. Pictures were shown from the Middle Ages connecting Armageddon with fire from heaven, armies in the sky, thunderbolts, etc. In addition, Chinese astronomers have kept comet and fireball records for a long time. The Dark Age in Great Britain in the 5th century AD was caused, in Clube's view, by a fireball striking East Anglia. Only in the last 20 years the scientific paradigm of most disciplines has been changing to take account of catastrophism, which Professor Clube regards as ...

... that before a king ever ruled on earth, a prototype of kings arose in heaven, and it was this "best of kings" who had founded the original paradise. For the Egyptians it was the creator-king Ra, for the Sumerians it was the high god An, from whom kingship descended. Similarly, the Hindu Brahma, the Chinese Huang-ti, Mexican Quetzalcoatl, Mayan Itzam Na and numerous counterparts among other nations, all preside over the Golden Age, while establishing the ideals and principles of kingship. In Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, China, Greece, Italy, northern Europe, pre-Columbian Mexico and Central America- in fact, wherever the institution of kingship arose- the royal ...

... knew no labor and had food in plenitude." Sacred texts of ancient India recall this as the Krita Yuga or "Perfect Age," without disease, labor, suffering or war. The Iranians called it the age of the brilliant Yima, an age with "neither cold nor heat," an eternal spring. According to ancient Chinese lore, the purest pleasure and tranquillity once reigned throughout the world. Mythical histories called it "the Age of Perfect Virtue" and declared that "the whole creation enjoyed a state of happiness. . . all things grew without labor; and a universal fertility prevailed." How old, then, is this ancient memory of a ...

... depending whether one was in Pisa, Venice or Florence. And one should not demand too much from the Council of 325 as the Holy Ghost would have been unable to give sufficient support - He only achieved his divine status in 381. Bob Porter pointed out that some continuous histories would be difficult to tamper with, particularly the Jewish and Chinese, but probably also the English. David Roth Note: Bob Porter has since added further comment about the Holy Ghost. His divine status was formally acknowledged in the Nicene creed of 325. The Council of Constantinople in 381 merely devised a further formula for describing the Trinity. See also Genesis 1:2 for an earlier mention of ...

469. Egyptian Monumental Evidence [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , a logical reading of Censorinus suggests the earliest date for the 365 day Egyptian calendar, and hence for a number of the pyramids, was after c.1200 BC and, quite possibly, after c.800 BC. Hence, Censorinus is entirely consistent with Herodotus. c). As developed in Discussions in Egyptology, Jewish, Chinese, Persian, Indian, and Roman literary sources support a chronology placing the rise of literate civilisation around 2000 BC, a major flood devastating that civilisation around 1700 BC, and the rise of new civilisations, including the Egyptian, some time after the Flood. All the other literary sources are consistent with one another but not with the ...

... universal inundation, with the world-wide deluge described in more than a hundred flood-myths. Along with Noah's flood were the Babylonian Utnapischtim of the Gilgamesh epic, the Sumerian Ziusudra, the Persian Jima, the Indian Manu, the Maya Coxcox, the Colombian Bochica, the Algonkin'S Nanabozu, the Crows' Coyote, the Greek Deukabon and Pyrrha, the Chinese Noah Kuen, and the Polynesian Tangaloa. It is evident there was a world-wide deluge 12,000 years ago. Global doomsdays are conspicuous in the Hopi Indian legends, the Finnish Kalevala epic, the Mayan Chilam Balam and Popol Vuh, and in the Aztec calendar, the last of which predicts that our present civilization will be destroyed ...
