... This succession of phenomena helps us to recognize that they occurred at the time of the Israelites' escape from Egypt, also visited by plagues. They also witnessed the destructive flood at the Sea of Passage, at Pi-ha-Khiroth, shortly before they met the Amalekites. The Israelites met the Amalekites for the first time a few days after they had crossed the sea. Not only the Egyptians but also many Amalekites perished at the sea. Other tribes, too- Djorhomites and Katan (Yaktan) -were swept away by the flood and perished in great numbers.20 The thick clouds covering the desert are repeatedly mentioned in the Scriptures and in the Midrashim. The Midrashirn narrate that the Israelites ...

... was that the griffon engraved on a cylinder seal and dated to 14th century Assyria, which fits with the Mycenaean and Amarna material on the boat, is supposed to have been a late addition. The other half of the design was apparently engraved about 400 years earlier in Mesopotamia. Did they really continue to reuse antiques for that long? Cross Channel ferry National Geographic May 1994, geographica The remains of a sea going vessel have been found in Dover. The Bronze Age boat from around 1300 BC was obviously built by skilled woodworkers in a rich trading community and hints at more sophisticated houses, wagons and furniture than have yet been found from the Bronze Age in this area. ...
553. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... strategy of retreat is the assertion, heard with increasing frequency, that these predictions were lucky guesses: it follows that Velikovsky has gambled and won the longest shot in history. It could therefore be argued that the accusation of witchcraft stands. On the issue of what constitutes or does not constitute superstitious thinking, natural scientists have had their signals crossed for a long time. A true son of the Enlightenment, ' the great naturalist Buffon (1707-88), in 1749 opened his monumental Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière, the most comprehensive effort since Aristotle to gather in one body all scientific knowledge, with a condemnation of Whiston [54]. This ferocious onslaught put the tombstone ...
... calamity of a single person. When Bassus perceived that, he began to think of using a stratagem against the enemy, and was desirous to aggravate their grief, in order to prevail with them to surrender the city for the preservation of that man. Nor did he fail of his hope; for he commanded them to set up a cross, as if he were just going to hang Eleazar upon it immediately; the sight of this occasioned a sore grief among those that were in the citadel, and they groaned vehemently, and cried out that they could not bear to see him thus destroyed. Whereupon Eleazar besought them not to disregard him, now he was going to ...
555. Arctic Tundra Mammoth Steppe Or Velikovskian Poleshift? [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... year. When their number soar and starvation threatens local populations, lemmings instinctively begin huge migrations across the frozen lands. Contrary to legends, they do not commit suicide by flinging themselves off cliffs into the sea. They do, however, travel en masse [driven by starvation] in search of food, stopping at nothing. Thousands die crossing lakes or bogs, and often there are few survivors."27 Mammoths and all the other megaherbivores, which would consume inordinate amounts of vegetation compared to lemmings, could not have lived in the tundra, nor could mammals of the temperate zone, such as bison, horse, or deer have done so. All the evidence of ...
556. ALL Honorable Men [Books]
... unscientific approaches when they see them. But one approach, the appeal to authority, ' is so commonplace that scientists suppress their knowledge that it is unscientific, even when challenged on that point. The excuse is often that science is complex, and one cannot look into everything for oneself. . . . "The problem arises when we cross the line from respecting their superior knowledge in an area to accepting their judgment as superior." (66) I have cautioned the reader for what is about to come and ask him/her to see what Frazier is up to. See, if one can find an iota of solid documented evidence or semblance of documented evidence in ...
557. Victory of The Sun [Books] [de Grazia books]
... we have seen, it is hot, and it probably was a binary. But there is a further implication. If Jupiter is cooling, as it must be, then at some point, on some day, it must also become too cold to hold together. Then it will fission, or nova. The unmanned spaceship Voyager I crossed the bow of the magnetosphere of Jupiter at a distance of 3.8 million miles (6 million Km). Photographic close-ups gave new evidence of the immense turbulence of the shut-down binary. The satellites of Jupiter were shown to be variously formed. Io, among them, might be extremely young or continuously melted, for it was ...

... in the second century before this era referred to the Iberian Peninsula as the mining source of imported tin;10 so did Pliny, and Diodorus told of its being mined in Cornwall.11 In the first century of the present era tin was transported by way of Egypt to India.12 As it is generally supposed that Stone Age man crossed the sea only by chance and not in regular voyages, the copper period of the Bronze Age must have seen the conquest of the sea, and Bronze Age man must have already developed a sea trade in tin. In Egypt the copper period began in pre-dynastic times, and the Old Kingdom is also regarded as belonging to the age ...

... top (cacumen) of the hill, giving instructions about religious observances. A nine days festival, novendiales, was declared and became a regular festival whenever falls of stones occurred. The augur set up a tabernaculum, tent, in the centre of his station, inside the pomerium, the sacred boundary of the city. He must not cross the pomerium before the completion of the ceremony. He carried a lituus, a staff without a knot. Cicero has left us a description of Romulus's lituus: "Est incurvum et leviter a summo inflexum bacillum"; it is a staff, curved and slightly bent at the top. It was kept by the Salii, a college ...
560. Egyptian Influence Upon Early Israelite Literature [Journals] [Aeon]
... while Har-akhti established [the heart of my victorious army] and my father Amon strengthened the arm [of my majesty]...." [99] Both conquest narratives emphasize the idea of divine presence in their respective campaigns through the references to the sacred cult objects they carried with their armies. The narrative in Joshua mentions the crossing of the Jordan River with the Ark of the Covenant, which symbolized the presence of the Lord. Often, in ancient times, a god was thought to have sway over a certain region. [100] Carrying the ark across the river symbolized the entry of Yahweh into Canaan, while carrying an image of Amon-Re across the Qina ...
