... ." When asked "Why?" one responds in the pragmatic manner: "Because I do not like the consequences." Then one lists those experiences that emanate from fathers like Moses-Yahweh. Those that evolve from other kinds of fathers are possibly better; in any event, one rejects the mosaic consequences. THE NAME OF YAHWEH Recently circles of biblical scholarship were agitated by some newly uncovered tablets of the ancient city of Ebla in Northern Syria that were reported to contain the name "Ya." If this were a contraction of "Yahweh," it might be Moses' Yahweh, and place the god several centuries earlier than we have him here. One of Moses ...

... rapidly than Mars rotates. ' "That's a very pretty paragraph but its quite wrong, and it shows that as an astronomer, Velikovsky may quite possibly be an excellent psychologist. "There is absolutely nothing in any astronomic theory I have ever heard that relates the angular velocity of a satellite to the period of rotation of the planet it circles. Nothing requires that a satellite revolve about its planet either faster or slower than the planet's period of rotation. "The angular velocity of a satellite depends on two things and only two things: The masses of its primary and itself, and the distance between the two bodies. If the primary is much larger than the satellite ( ...

... silver coin of the 2nd century B.C . The amulet is a charm begging the protection of the Celtic goddess Beanu (Venus?). This certainly seems to place the language back into the Saturnian era. Incidentally, some of the "sun" signs that accompany the word g-r-n in the United States take the form of rayed circles within rayed circles. Dwardu Cardona replies: When I stated that Ogam is "the oldest form of Goidelic," I did not mean to imply that the two were synonymous. What I meant to say was that Ogam inscriptions are the oldest form of Goidelic that we are presently acquainted with. In other words, the oldest form ...

... archaeological material that is now going on in Iraq, as reported by Tania ta Maria. [7 ] According to my good friend, the archaeologist Giovanni Pettinato, the Baghdad Archaeological Museum, which is presently closed to visitors, has lost a large part of its collections which, no doubt, have been sold and exported by Saddam Hussein's circle of friends. Meanwhile, in the present southern no-fly zone, a previously unknown Sumerian city has been discovered, and this, also, is presently being looted by a team of some 200 illegal excavators. Several Iraqi supervisors have even been killed when they attempted to visit the area. Fortunately, the intact content of the great library ...

... and that the Israelites were paid a large tribute by Ahmose I to leave Egypt - which they used to fabricate the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant. A further revelation, that springs directly from this quotation, is that the biblical Mt Sinai is most probably the Great Pyramid of Giza. If this were the case, then the circling of the mountains' around Sinai was in fact a ceremonial circumnavigation of Giza - a ritual that is preserved to this day by the circling of the Ka'ba in Mecca. By Ralph Ellis Thoth, Architect of the Universe Takes a radical look at the henges of Britain and the pyramids of Giza, and concludes that they were both designed ...
... the Abyssinian bollard, nortbwards. That is why what remains of the crustal apex is now situated to the east-north-east, at 40o E, 10o N, of what remains of the core apex, which is situated roughly where the meridian of Greenwich intersects the equator. It has been found that the equatorial section of the Earth is not a circle but is slightly elliptical, the difference between the major and minor axes being about 1600 feet. However, it is much more probable that the equatorial cross section of the Earth is really that of an ovoid' such as we have described, with its pointed end situated as mentioned in the preceding paragraph. But then, as the ...
267. The Legends of the Jews: Volume I - Preface [Books]
... and homilists. I was fortunate in being able to avail myself also of fragments of Midrashim of which only manuscript copies are extant. The works of the older Kabbalah are likewise treasuries of quotations from lost Midrashim, and it was among the Kabbalists, and later among the Hasidim, that new legends arose. The literatures produced in these two circles are therefore of great importance for the present purpose. Furthermore, Jewish legends can be culled not from the writings of the Synagogue alone; they appear also in those of the Church. Certain Jewish works repudiated by the Synagogue were accepted and mothered by the Church. This is the literature usually denominated apocryphal-pseudepigraphic. From the point of view ...
268. Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion, by Ev Cochrane [Journals] [SIS Review]
... themselves in extreme difficulties at the outset. Mythological connections point unerringly towards the conclusion that the sun god was in fact Saturn, who sat as a huge brightness on top of a column of bright material in the north. The diurnal turning of the Earth led to the appearance of a revolving crescent illuminated by the real Sun and within the circle of Saturn's face could be seen the smaller circle of Venus and the even smaller Mars. The myths further point to the probability that at some point Mars descended towards the Earth, thus appearing to grow vastly in size and with its atmosphere pulled out in the form of a fiery column. It would therefore appear to have been born ...

... " These species "are arctic, but, as the bed seems in other places to contain Ostrea edulis [a mollusc], which requires a temperate sea, the evidence is conflicting as to the climate.6 What could have brought, together or in quick succession, all these animals and plants, from the tundra of the Arctic Circle and from the jungle of the tropics, from lush oak forest and from desert, from lands of many latitudes and altitudes, from freshwater lakes and rivers, and from the salt seas of the north and the south? The shells with closed valves furnish evidence that the molluscs did not die a natural death but were buried alive. ...

... , began the visual spectacle which revealed the underlying unconscious replaying of past cosmic catastrophe. Fireworks lit up the sky in imitation of cosmic events and a wreath was laid of bay leaves and swastikas, ancient symbols of the sky. Then the sky was brought down to earth using over 100 searchlights which were first shone upwards to meet in a circle 10,000ft up, the shafts of light appearing to descend from this circle and then tilted so the beams of light intersected one third of the way down, appearing as a comet. Finally they were lowered to the ground to simulate a catastrophic impact. The spectacle was accompanied by the music of Wagner portraying the myths of the ...
