... among the Guarani, or Tamu among the Carib." [34] The idea that souls were wont to climb the World Tree in order to gain their eternal reward naturally recalls the tradition that angels employed Jacob's ladder as a celestial escalator. The collapse of the World Tree was remembered as a colossal calamity. A Mocovi narrative attributes its destruction to the gnawing of an angry hag: "She did not stop until she had felled it, causing deep sorrow among the Mocovi and doing them irreparable harm." [35] The Chamacoco also tell of a time when a giant tree spanned the sky. One narrative reports that the Sun and Moon lived on Earth during that ...
542. Early Historic Man -- Catastrophism and Calendars [Articles]
... he arrived at the conclusion that the Early Bronze, the Middle Bronze and the recent or Late Bronze, disappeared in catastrophic conditions, and those catastrophic conditions are written in the archaeological stratigraphy, where at each of these three periods you've got hiatuses, layers of ashes, of mud and all the rest, showing that really there was heavy destruction and those destructions had practically arrived at the same date all over the world, at least apart from America which later might be examined. And not only that, but those catastrophes, which were found in archaeology, were generally accompanied by periods of anarchy, disorders and plagues. This is written in the annals of the periods, ...
543. The Inconstant Heavens [Books] [de Grazia books]
... been impossible for the Earth to be out of the way of the comets' tails. Nay, the possibility of an immediate encounter or shock of the body, of a comet would have been too frequent; and considering how great is the velocity of a comet at such a time, the collision of two such bodies must necessarily be destructive of each other; nor perhaps could the inhabitants of planets long survive frequent immersions in the tails of comets, as they would be liable to in such a situation. Not to mention anything of the irregularities and confusion that must happen in the motion of planets and comets, if their orbits were all disposed in the same plane [ ...
544. The Garden, the Fall, and the Restoration [Journals] [Kronos]
... the world did persons get sick in the body or head. . .( 8 ) According to Paul Hamlyn, writing in Egyptian Mythology, "The Egyptians. . shared the view that what they called the First Time, ' or the age in which the gods lived on earth. . .was a golden age. Forces of destruction may have existed even then, but the principles of justice reigned over the land."(9 ) Among the most ancient surviving documents are the cuneiform texts from the Sumerian civilization of the second and third millennia before the present era. In one such text we read: In those days there was no snake, there was no ...
545. Mars Gods of the New World [Journals] [Aeon]
... unique appearance and behavior. We will therefore propose the following test: If the Old World traditions surrounding the planets originated in ancient Near Eastern religious practice, it would stand to reason that archaeoastronomical traditions from the Americas must needs be of a different nature. If Mars' association with war and pestilence (not to mention swords, death, destruction, rebellion, the underworld, the Cosmic Tree, World Pillar, etc.) truly stems from the cult of Nergal, and not from any objective phenomena associated with the red planet, one would hardly expect to find that Mesoamerican sky watchers preserved similar traditions (that is, of course, unless one would be willing to entertain ...
546. Finding the Limits of Chronological Revision [Journals] [SIS Review]
... belonged stratigraphically to the Iron Age citadel [20]. However, the excavation report reveals a very different situation. Objects of 19th-Dynasty date were not found above the floor of the citadel but below it. Some were in foundation deposits below the citadel's SE corner, while at the NW corner of the building there was a thick, black destruction layer containing Ramesside sherds and fragments of gold leaf and faience, running under the lowest course of stones' [21]. This leaves no doubt that the Iron Age citadel was built after the destruction of the Ramesside-period city of Level VI. Sadly, these examples are typical of Velikovsky's poor handling of stratigraphical issues [22]. ...
547. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... tectonic theory anticipates that earthquakes should occur along plate boundaries and usually they do, but there are a few puzzling exceptions called seismic gaps where no earthquakes happen, despite the supposed massive build up of pressure. One place one would expect to have earthquakes is Lebanon, which lies over a network of plate boundaries. Investigations now show that the destruction of Beirut in AD 551 was indeed caused by an earthquake and not, as some thought, by a tsunami arising as a result of an earthquake elsewhere in the Mediterranean. Beirut lies right over an active fault and the destruction at that time was complete, with scarcely a pillar left standing. However earthquakes today are as nothing compared ...
548. Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning [Books]
... - wrote of it as Karbana, and this still was seen a millennium later in the Kabarnit of As-sur-ba-ni-pal's time. the star Which pours his light in a glance of fire, When he disperses the morning dew. Our name for it is that of the chief pilot of the fleet of Menelaos, who, on his return from the destruction of Troy, 1183 B.C ., touched at Egypt, where, twelve miles to the northeastward from Alexandria, Canopus died and was honored, according to Scylax, by a monument raised by his grateful master, giving his name to the city and to this splendid star, which at that time rose about 71.2o ...
549. On the Possibility of Instantaneous Shifts of the Poles [Journals] [Aeon]
... millions of times smaller than the one developed by the impact, but its role is fundamental. If at that moment it has a different direction than the one developed by the impact itself, as soon as the shock is exhausted, the Earth instantly recovers its previous axis of rotation and all ends there. The only consequences would be the destruction resulting from the impact. If, however, the torque due to the Sun-Moon attraction has the same direction of the torque caused by the celestial body, it is added to this, and contributes in its small way to the instantaneous change of the position of the poles. A few instants later the shock exhausts itself while the Sun-Moon ...
550. Recent Developments In Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... may have been taken over by the Assyrians earlier than regions further west. In the remains of an Old Babylonian temple (Site A) were found various phases of reuse attributed to Mittanian (Levels 2c-a), Middle Assyrian (Levels 1b-a) and Neo-Assyrian periods. Many tablets, dated to Shalmaneser and Tukulti-Ninurta I, were found in the destruction of Level 1b. Another area, Site C, contained the remains of successive levels of housing. Here Level 5 was attributed to the Mittanian period, Levels 4-2 to MA, and Level 1 to Neo-Assyria. Pfälzner (1995, pp. 207-211), working only from preliminary excavation reports but having inspected the pottery, differed from ...
