... original Britons. It is an ancient name and appears to be related to the Cimmerians (the Kiuuepiui of Herodotus), a very ancient race of romantic legend, sons of Gomer according to Josephus, a maritime and colonizing nation. Herodotus associated them with the region of tin and the river Eridanus, the scene of a great conflagration and destruction of this Celtic people in its vicinity. In Icelandic legends they are described as huge giants, and are perhaps the "Frost Giants" of Scandinavian folk-lore who were destroyed. We can find manifold traces of the Cimmerians in Britain, from the north to the south. While speaking of giants, mention must be made of the mysterious ...
262. Man's Divine Mirror [Books] [de Grazia books]
... A.D when scientists observed them by telescope. By the time of Plato, several centuries before Christ, this knowledge was perhaps only present in legend, and was part of the legend that has the god Zeus Jupiter overthrowing his father, the god Kronos-Saturn, and binding him to prevent his return to power (and thus bring further destruction upon the world). The knowledge comes to us via the works of the platonic philosopher, Proclus, eight hundred years later(ca. 410-1485 A.D .) . Proclus, in startling clear language, but philosophical language, tells us that Jupiter, mighty and powerful, the supreme intellect of the universe, bringer of ...
263. Ancient Near Eastern Chronology: To Revise or not to Revise? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the human psyche contains etc. Nowadays, the new order (after a phase of turmoil) has been absorbed by political theorists of various persuasions in revamped modern versions of religious myths. The cycle appears to have continued into the historical period, but less ferociously so, albeit in a weakly fashion. Ancient sites display evidence of unexplained periodic destruction whilst the heavens remained the abode of a very often feared deity(s )- and deity was very often blamed for such destructions. A cometary body is the feasible culprit, but much reduced in malevolence from that of Velikovsky- and hardly of planetary proportions. The orbit of a periodic comet could have caused stress within earth's crust ...
264. Medieval Europe: Dating and Recent Developments [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... [2 ]. However, the LP only gives disease a few passing references – the pestilence killed those it killed' [3 ] – but it does describe many of the other social and political events which are equally horrific and which, according to Keys, were catalysed by the pandemic: the Barbarian occupation, the famines and the destruction of much of the Italian state and church infrastructure. In the entry under Silverius (AD 536-7) it mentions the sack of Naples and extermination of all its inhabitants (including the priests) as well as all church property; the destructions of all state and church property in Rome even the churches and bodies of the holy martyrs were ...
265. The el-Amarna Letters (Continued) (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... the defeat at Ramoth-Gilead. Moab rebelled against the king of Israel (II Kings 1:1 and 3:5 ). The allied armies of Israel, Judah, and Edom suffered greatly from lack of water on their march around the Dead Sea to bring the king of Moab to obedience. They reached Moab from the south and wrought destruction upon the land. The king of Moab tried to break through the siege but could not. "Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own ...
266. The Pyramid Age, by Emmet J Sweeney (Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the 3rd Dynasty. He finds no convincing evidence for the conventional three separate Intermediate Periods in Egyptian history and merges these into one. He dates Djoser from Khnumibre's genealogy to circa 930BC and refers to the pyramid builders of the 4th Dynasty as no more than lords of the Delta'. In summary, his revision starts with a catastrophic destruction around 1300-1200BC. Then comes a brief pre-dynastic epoch followed by a further destruction episode around 1050-1000BC. Then comes the early Dynastic Age of Abraham/Menes and Joseph/Imhotep, followed by a final destruction episode around 850-800BC. The Pyramid Age, the Age of the Judges and the Akkadian Age all start around the beginning of the 8th ...
267. The End of MBII [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... has a more acceptable geographical location and produces positive archaeological evidence, this kind of argument must be recognized as ad hoc. In spite of the fact that Gibeon is said to be a royal city and larger than Ai (which has walls and gates) there is a total lack of evidence that Gibeon was fortified during MBII. The violent destructions of Shechem at the end of MBII must be explained away. The location of Shechem and its size during MBII would have made it a crucial site, and there is no explanation why the conquest narratives fail to record a confrontation there. Finally, there is little evidence of fortified cities in northern Transjordan during MBII as required by Deuteronomy ...
... ,60]. It happened when the Earth was passing through the Beta Taurid meteor stream suggesting, despite some wild speculation involving antimatter, black holes and alien spacecraft [61], that the object which caused the damage was a member of the Taurid/Olijato/Comet Encke system mentioned above [34,37]. From the destruction caused in the region, it has been estimated that the impact energy was equivalent to about 10-30 megatons of TNT, i.e . at least 500 times more powerful than t he Hiroshima atomic bomb [34,37,60,62]. Because of the remoteness of the Tunguska region, it is easy for outsiders to ...
... the taking and demolishing of cities; nay, the sedition at last increased so high, that the very temple of God was burnt down by their enemies' fire. Such were the consequences of this, that the customs of our fathers were altered, and such a change was made, as added a mighty weight toward bringing all to destruction, which these men occasioned by their thus conspiring together; for Judas and Sadduc, who excited a fourth philosophic sect among us, and had a great many followers therein, filled our civil government with tumults at present, and laid the foundations of our future miseries, by this system of philosophy, which we were before unacquainted withal ...

The same platform in Orkney as at Cromarty is strewed thick, with remains, which exhibit unequivocally the marks of violent death.
