... the bull of heaven. Even its obvious connection with Poseidon as bull of the sea only raises it once more to the mythological waters above the Earth. Significantly, at Knossos both bulls horns and double axes appear again and again aloft on pillars, sometimes associated with spiral decorations or even surmounted by a tree. Castleden investigates the history of destructions of Knossos and other centres on Crete. He appears to have great sympathy with the idea that the second major destruction at around 1450 BC was caused by the Thera eruption and could have given rise to the Atlantis legend, but he is at great pains to show that there is little decisive evidence to choose between any of the several ...
532. The Rape of Helen [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of the Libyan and Ethiopian dynasties. These were foreigners, whose domination over the greatest of empires has not been satisfactory explained, except as a consequence of natural disasters. In Italy, Vesuvius exploded with a fury not to be approached until the milder eruption that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum. In Judah, heavenly commotion excited the populace and brought destruction in the times of Uzziah (783-742), Ahaz (735-717), and Hezekiah (717-687); the kingdom of Israel was dissolved and its people dispersed at this time. The Assyrians were under six different kings, the last of whom, Sennacherib, saw his army blasted to death before the city of Jerusalem in a single ...

534. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol 1 No 4 (Spring 1977) Home | Issue Contents FORUM Letters TWO FACES OF VENUS Peter James, in his most recent contribution to the debate on the identification of planetary deities (SISR 1:3 ), brings out clearly the widespread attribution of a dual nature, combining both aggressive, destructive aspects and loving, nourishing qualities, to the Venus god or goddess. Whether or not the Evening Star and Morning Star were recognised as being the same planet at different positions in its orbit, there appears to be a consistent attribution of love to the evening and terror (not necessarily masculine, one might add) to the morning manifestations. ...
535. The Cosmic String of Pearls [Journals] [Aeon]
... drawn between the centres of all of them. This occurred in the beginning of time, the moment of creation if you like, and, considering the cyclical motion of the heavens, will occur again at the end of time. Both of these events, past and future, would have caused, or will yet cause, a wholesale destruction of the universe by fire or by water, paving the way for a new creation. This most curious belief was handed down through the ages with an astonishing persistence, yet defies any sound explanation. It is further remarkable that no specialists in modern times seem to have paid any special attention to this primordial conjunction of the planets, ...
536. Thoth Vol V, No 1: Jan 15, 2001 [Journals] [Thoth]
... . MICHAEL ARMSTONG JUMPED IN WITH: My answer is not intended to be definitive but is just exploring some alternatives to an atomic weapon explanation. First of all it is helpful to get some things into perspective. The US military has what is called a FAB, a fuel-air-bomb that is comparable to a nuclear weapon in explosive energy release and destruction. The device works simply by exploding an aerosol device that mixes a huge amount of flammable gas such a propane with a comparable amount of air into an explosive mixture over a huge area, and then detonates it in a huge and widespread fireball. The magnitude of the size of the aerosol cloud before detonation is what gives this device ...
537. The Hunting Or Blitzkrieg Theory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... as soon as an elephant gets into one, the others immediately collect boughs of trees and pile up heaps of earth, so as to form a mound [beneath their captured companion] and then endeavor with all their might to drag it out."15 This technique, or any other accounting for single kills, could hardly explain the destruction of so many millions of mammoths and mastodons and other large mammals. Probably the most destructive methods of hunting elephants is setting fire to the vegetation in a circle surrounding them. This method was used throughout Africa in the past and was "responsible for the deaths of many hundreds or even thousands of elephants each year."16 According ...
538. Dragons and Serpents (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... usually called the thunder-bird' in myths of the North American Indians. It sends abroad asphyxiating stinks. All that comes of the dragon is bad. Its blood is poison. Out of its teeth spring up armed men. The dragon is a power of evil and of night, the archenemy of good and of light. It causes much destruction; the Earth trembles, the hills are cloven, the stars fall; the minds and morals of men are corrupted during its reign. Sometimes two dragons are mentioned. So in Mordecai's dream, quoted in the Additions to the Book of Esther vi. 3 and 5, which are inserted before Esther i. in the Greek translation ...
... blessed God for his power and assistance, from which the place had this name given it, the Valley of [Berachah, or] Blessing. 4. And when the king had brought his army back to Jerusalem, he betook himself to celebrate festivals, and offer sacrifices, and this for many days. And indeed, after this destruction of their enemies, and when it came to the ears of the foreign nations, they were all greatly aftrighted, as supposing that God would openly fight for him hereafter. So Jehoshaphat from that time lived in great glory and splendor, on account of his righteousness and his piety towards God. He was also in friendship with Ahab's ...
540. The Advancement of Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... have been dying away throughout the 3rd, 2nd and 1st millennia BC. The present Encke's comet is the remains of a giant comet which was on an earth crossing orbit in those times and was responsible for devastation on the Earth at periodic intervals. He has an ingenious (though I think inadequate) suggestion as to why the agents of destruction were later remembered as Venus and Mars. He also agrees that Ipuwer/Exodus/end of Middle Kingdom were synchronous and that Egyptian history needs to be shortened by 400 years! The book is defective in many respects, but for a respectable member of the establishment who had not had the benefit of contact with our circles it is ...
