... , Saba (Sheba) was more than 1,400 miles as the crow flies south of Palestine. The terrain in between is a barren, almost water less desert, consisting of rugged mountains near the coast, and a broken, sand- or rock-covered tableland to the east of the mountains. This enormous region is extremely difficult to cross unless one is well provided with camels and experienced guides." For possible resolution see: Ages in Chaos, Chapter III. KRONOS, I, 3, pp. 3-18. KRONOS, I, 4, pp. 9-22. L. M. Greenberg 600 Years before Homer?The second, revised edition (Bantam: 1967 ...
302. The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes edited by Iona and Peter Opie [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and twenty tailors went to kill a snail, its horns are described as like a cow's and there is some lethal quality associated with its tail. Could this be cometary imagery? A few rhymes hint of mythological relics. Ride a cock horse has older versions with an old woman on a black horse; its association with a very ancient cross is suggestive. Can you make me a cambric shirt, is in a line of myth in which the hero or heroine is set impossible tasks and lines repeating the names of herbs suggest it has associations with magical incantations. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall could be simply a riddle for an egg but appears to be extremely old, ...
303. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... over the date of the inscription in the nearby Hezekiah' tunnel seems to have been nipped in the bud. Rogerson and Davies wanted to downdate it by six centuries to the Hasmonean period [C &CR 1996:2 , p. 27] but Hershel Shanks, editor of Biblical Archaeology Review, assembled a battery of leading scholars including Cross and Lemaire to assert, with examples, that the palaeography and other aspects of writing c. 700BC are readily distinguishable from the first century BC [BAR 1997:2 pp. 41-50, 68]. This does not affect my own theory that the tunnel and inscription were late Persian period. Finkelstein's Theories Another new theory is also ...
304. Censors Appointed. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... College in Cincinnati, declared that with biblical verses one could prove anything at all; Carl Kraeling, director of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, concluded that my book was "another example of the apologetic procedure"; Dr. Henry Field, anthropologist and archaeologist, said that the book was wrong because the Israelites did not cross the Red Sea, but almost certainly the shallow sea of reeds. (I did not locate the Sea of Passage, and in any case, what matters was that in my book I gave many sources showing that "The water of all oceans and seas was divided.") Dr. David Delo, of the American Geological ...
305. Erratics [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... "The waters of the ocean in which our mountains had been formed still covered a part of these Alps when a violent paroxysm of the globe suddenly opened great cavities . . . and ruptured many rocks . . . . "` The waters were carried toward these abysses with extreme violence, falling from the height they were before; they crossed deep valleys and dragged immense quantities of earth, sand, and debris of all kinds of rocks. This mass, shoved along by the onrush of great waters, was left spread up the slopes where we still see many scattered fragments. ' (Horace Benedict de Saussure, Voyages dans les Alpes, I (1779), 151 ...
306. Assyrians, Sodom, and Red Herrings [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... a rebuilt Jericho. Support for this comes from the well known fact that Jerusalem remained in Jebusite, non-Israelite hands down to the time of King David, driving a wedge between the northern and southern tribes. As those familiar with Israel geography know, this could only have been possible if the Jebusites, or their allies, also commanded the crossing of the Jordan at Jericho, the supply route from the east to Jerusalem. These were the circumstances that applied from 1948 to 1967 during the Jordinian occupation of both Jericho and Jerusalem. Thus the Middle Bronze Age occupation of Jerusalem actually supports the Chetwynd-Courville school which numbers Vaninger and myself among exponents. As to point (b ), ...
307. A Note on the Location of Avaris [Journals] [Kronos]
... as they are known in Arab history- played a vital role in the establishment and consolidation of Arab influence in the conquered lands."(14) One such Amsar was al-Fustat in Egypt, situated on the east bank of the Nile. The Caliph Omar, fearful of having his troops cut off, was loathe to have his forces cross to the western side of the Nile without a backup fortress. Omar's able commander, Amr ibn al-As, therefore undertook certain military precautions. "The headquarters of the army were pitched near Memphis. Around them grew up a military station, called from its origin Fostat (al-Fustat), or the Encampment'. It expanded rapidly into ...
308. Atlantis, Part 1 Venus Ch.7 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... The [Atlantic] ocean there was at that time navigable; for in front of the mouth which you Greeks call, as you say, the Pillars of Heracles' [Hercules], there lay an island which was larger than Libya and Asia [Asia Minor] together; and it was possible for the travellers of that time to cross from it to the other islands, and from the islands to the whole of the continent over against them which encompasses that veritable ocean. . . . Yonder is a real ocean, and the land surrounding it may most rightly be called, in the fullest and truest sense, a continent. Now in this island of Atlantis there ...

... soon thereafter he changed his prognostication and became utterly pessimistic. "Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire" (9 :19). His rod will lift the sea up "after the manner of Egypt," as on the day of the crossing of the Red Sea (10:26). "And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand [sign] over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams" (11:15). Nor will Palestine be spared. " ...
310. The Celestial Tower [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the tower is recalled as having been located in the midst of the ocean. Thus the Lebor Gabala ( 'Book of Invasions') describes the tower as being of gold, and being continually washed over by great waves. The British writer Nennius describes the tower as a pillar of crystal, an object encountered by the Gaels as they crossed the sea to Erin. It is evident that the phallus cult of Hermes is derived in some way from this celestial tower or pillar. It must also be related one way or another to the concept of the Sacred Mountain, and thus to pyramid building. Certainly phallus-worship, and along with it dragon-worship, appears in the near-east right ...
