... names descriptive of the native metal, various ores, brass (orichalcum or aurichalcum), and bronze. Gold and silver were relatively unique in that they nominally had a specific name (other than an alloy of the two, which the Greeks called electrum), and each was associated with a specific deity. The ancient Egyptians used the circle symbol, or bindu, , (17) to signify the perfection of divinity, and gold being thought the most perfect of metals shared this symbol. Silver was represented by the semicircle, , another divine index. Somewhat later syncretic confusion transferred gold to the aegis of the solar deity from that of Saturn, where it was originally ...
382. THE ROAD TO SATURN (EXCERPTS FROM AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY) [Journals] [Aeon]
... which periodically threatened the god. Eventually at least one of them collided with the Earth. Composed mainly of water, this filament dispersed itself across the Earth in a deluge that lasted for days. Thus the universal flood was a direct result of Saturn's initial flare-up. Saturn, with its cosmos, became unhinged. It was now seen to circle around the sky as the Earth, knocked off its balance by the impact of the collision, began to wobble and topple. Slowly but surely the Saturnian apparition slid down the sides of heaven and sank beyond Earth's trembling horizon. Earth had actually turned head over heels. The god of mankind, dying his death, had drowned in ...
383. Apocalyptic Imagery In Modern Political Spectacle [Journals] [SIS Review]
... reporter is a useful witness because all he could see was the pretty side of Nazism - he said the festival was beautiful and impressive' [20], as were Hitler's speeches. Here is what he tells us about the light show: suddenly, as Hitler led a slow procession to the platform, there shone upward from a hidden circle of 150 army searchlights behind the grandstands as many spears of light to the central point above' [21]. Fig. 1 is a weak photograph of the Berlin rally (the bottom half only) but with some imagination you can visualise what was seen. All around this huge stadium, enclosing it and making it tiny, ...
... its volcanic nature is in complete harmony with Velikovsky's concept. Scientists like Sagan can deny the theory of Velikovsky only by ignoring this volcanic evidence. The super rotating atmosphere One of the enigmas of Venus is the rapid flow pattern of its upper atmosphere. On Earth, the atmosphere flows in the same direction as the Earth rotates taking weeks to circle our planet at the equator. Venus' rotation period is 243 days; it possesses an atmosphere with clouds 39 miles above the surface which flows at 100 m/sec circling that planet in only about 4 days. Other measurements indicate the circulation takes about six Earth days in the direction Venus turns. Young and Young say, " ...
385. Chaos and Creation [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Jupiter; then Mars again. It periodically- every half century- threatened the Earth and sometimes repeated, less harshly, its first devastation of the planet. The age of Venusia lasted from about 1450 to 700 B.C . endured, that is, until the comet Venus lost its cometary appendages and became a hot, young planet circling the Sun for all the world like an ordinary planet is supposed to behave. Twelve Principal Variants of the Cometary Goddess Inanna Symbol, Source: Falkenstein, Archiasche Texte aus Uruk, cf. Rose (1977). CAREER OF AN ANDROGYNE The year around 3450 B.P . was the most devastating since the fall of Saturn; ...
386. Appendices (The Book of Revelation is History) [Books]
... Apocalypse apparently knew the Book of Enoch, he did not draw upon it to any appreciable or determinable extent. (cviii. 4) .. . I saw . . . something like a viewless cloud; for by reason of its depth I could not look thereon, and I saw a flame of fire burning brightly, and there circled there things like shining mopntains and they swept to and fro .. . From thence will evil come .. . This is a magnificent description of the first beginnings of the disintegration. The expressions `viewless cloud', etc., refer to the difficulty the observer had to liken what he saw to anything known. The ` ...

... 2003 (Nov 2003) Conference Proceedings Ages Still in Chaos' Home | Issue Contents Introduction - Ages in Chaos?Trevor Palmer Trevor Palmer is Professor of Life Sciences, Senior Dean and Pro Vice Chancellor at Nottingham Trent University and a member of SIS Council since 1986. Conventional Chronology The chronology of the ancient world currently accepted in most academic circles is based largely on the chronology of ancient Egypt. However, this was not passed down to us intact through the centuries. Instead, it was re-assembled in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from the fragmentary information available. Those remnants of ancient Egypt which survive, magnificent though some are, give us only a glimpse of what ...
388. Child of Saturn (Part VI) [Journals] [Kronos]
... never know precisely the sequence of reasoning these ancestors of ours went through in their mental efforts to understand this most mysterious of portents. - Was the goddess one? Was she many? Was she and her consort one and the same? Was the central orb really her spouse or was he her child? Did he not rest within the circle of her arms as did her other divine children? Were her arms really uplifted or were they cradled as she held her son?(1 ) Were those really her arms or was the entire circle of light and shadow actually her womb? Was she holding her infant or was he still unborn within her?(2 ) If ...

... form, suggest a lunar connexion. Fig 4. Buddha Footprints Fig 5. Tibetan Swastika Fig 6. Jain Swastika A theory which found favour for a time was that the swastika had origin in the "Iranian homeland" of our "Ayran forefathers." Dr. Schliemann7 drew attention to the interesting fact that the equal-limbed cross with central circle (Plate FIG. 6. IV, fig. 39), common to Troy and India, was also a swastika to the Sanskrit-speaking Ayro Indians, and he expressed his conviction that both the cross and swastika were "religious symbols of the very greatest importance among the early progenitors of the Aryan races in Bactria and in the villages ...
390. The Mosaic Calendar [Journals] [Aeon]
... is today, the year having always been 365.24219879 days, or a few seconds more. Yet such dogma offers no explanation for worldwide dedication (in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China and the Americas) to the simultaneous use of a 360-day calendar, vestigial memory of which is preserved to our day in division of the circle into 360 units "of measure by rotation" which we call degrees. Beyond that, we cannot help but acknowledge that the full circle of the heavens is organised "unscientifically" into 360 corresponding houses if, as we are confidently assured, the year has consisted of 365+ days from the "beginning." Why then are ...
