... we have numerous Sumerian cities. The implication surely supports Heinsohn and Sweeney's thesis that all the strata given to the Sumerians and Neo- Sumerians are really the strata of the Chaldeans and Second Chaldeans. Since the historians assume that the Sumerians are among the earliest people to settle in Mesopotamian, while the Chaldeans came much later in time, geological destruction should be more devastating on the remains of the older Sumerian civilization than on that of the Chaldeans that built their cities long after. Older cities are subject to greater seepage of rain into them than younger ones. As one goes deeper back in time the elements of fire, flood, rain erosion, earthquake, and man digging into ...
... whether told by peoples living near the poles or by tribes settling in the tropics, one fact always stands out: the Great Flood appears as the conclusion of a universal catastrophe, as the finale of a great cosmic drama. But, though it definitely closes a period, it does not cause the final end of things. After the destruction comes a new creation. It is a remarkable fact that the mythologist, though he knows an immense number of creation myths, cannot point to a single one whose report starts right at the beginning of things. In real myths creation out of nothing is nowhere thought of; almost everywhere we find the ordering of a chaotic muddle of ...
563. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... XVIII Dynasty reign lengths we have 11 years for Thutmose I, (18 minus 7), 20 for Thutmose II, 22 for Hatshepsut and 2 (possibly 3) for Thutmose III - a total of 54 years between the two persons Velikovsky wants as Shishak and therefore 54 years between the alleged sack of Jerusalem by Thutmose III and the destruction of Gezer. This does not look good. If we use the highest regnal dates for this brace of pharaohs, we have 2 for Thutmose I, 18 for Thutmose II, 20 for Hatshepsut plus our 2 or 3 for Thutmose III - a revised total of 43, placing the wedding within year one of Solomon. This mathematics ...
564. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... The End of the World is at Hand" and yet greeting a passing policeman, "Happy New Year!" On a more serious note, can I give a balance to the Biblical eschatology outlined by Mr. Forshufvud, please? He is correct in suggesting that 1 Thess. 5:2 (and similar passages) warn of destruction. But, in contrast to the judgement of that chapter, 1 These. 4:13-18 speaks of the same event as a joy and comfort for others. Biblical eschatology is not solely a warning of doom to those who reject God; it is a message of comfort to those who love him. The same theme occurs elsewhere ...
565. The Wayward Sun [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , holding it in his hand, lifted the barb to his eye and baptized it in a divine tear; then the arrow was sped and struck the sun-god full in the face, and the sun was shivered into a thousand fragments which fell to the earth, causing a general conflagration. Then Ta-wats, the hare-god, fled before the destruction he had wrought, and as he fled the burning earth consumed his feet, consumed his legs, consumed his body, consumed his hands and his arms-all were consumed but the head alone, which bowled across valleys and over mountains, fleeing the destruction from the burning earth, until at last, swollen with heat, the eyes of ...
566. Puritanism, Misogyny, and Female Sexuality [Journals] [Aeon]
... sackcloth; for their beauty shall be destroyed." [1 ] Judaean noblewomen against the likes of whom the prophets riled. (Illustration by Andreas Müller.) The next quotation is from the Book of Jeremiah, a prophet who lived in the later 7th and earlier 6th centuries BCE, a time which included the Babylonian exile and the destruction of the First Temple. "[ God speaks:] Can a maid forget her ornaments or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me days without number. Why do you deck yourself to induce love? For behold you have also learned evil by means of this conduct. Also on your hands is found the blood ...
567. Neo-Babylonians and Achaemenids [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... I by a Babylonian concubine, in virtue of which he was popularly termed Nothus, the Bastard'. The accession of Darius II is thus normally held to mark the end of the pure Achaemenid line, and a period of increasing Babylonian influence is recognised in the years following. (2 ) Babylon was rebuilt and re-endowed after the massive destruction wrought by Xerxes, and in many ways the city was to supplant Persepolis as the true capital of the Empire. It would thus appear that Ashurbanipal, in whom we see the alter-ego of Darius II, was the son of Artaxerxes' (Esarhaddon's) Babylonian concubine. That Esarhaddon favoured Babylon is shown by the fact that he re-instated ...
568. The Legends of the Jews: Volume II - Moses in Egypt [Books]
... land of Egypt, though the other tribes wavered in their allegiance, and attempted to ally themselves with the Egyptians, going so far as to give up Abraham's sign of the covenant.[28] To chastise the Hebrews for their impiety, God turned the love of the Egyptians for them into hatred, so that they resolved upon their destruction. Mindful of all that he and his people owed to Joseph's wise rule, Pharaoh refused at first to entertain the malicious plans proposed by the Egyptians against the Hebrews. He spoke to his people, "You fools, we are indebted to these Hebrews for whatever we enjoy, and you desire now to rise up against them? ...
569. In the Days of Seti I and Ramses II [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... years later. Seti I's Asiatic Wars During the reign of Akhnaton, Egypt's authority in Palestine and Syria collapsed, a situation reflected in the contents of the Amarna Letters. In his Ages in Chaos (1952) Velikovsky demonstrated how the inactivity of the pharaoh allowed Aziru, the scheming and treacherous king of Amurru (Syria), to wage destructive wars against his neighbours. Velikovsky identified this king of Syria with Hazael, who, during the time of Ahab, brought war and devastation repeatedly to the kingdom of Israel. The above identifications and synchronisations are supported by the present author, and we hold that the period of almost three generations, when the kings of Syria and Moab ...
570. Martian Meteorites in Ancient Myth and Modern Science [Journals] [Aeon]
... , we are primarily interested here in reports concerning Mars. Suffice it to say that the ancient Babylonians specifically referred to meteorites falling from the planet Mars, making such objects the subject of various omens. Witness the following example: "If in the sky a meteor (train) from a planet [Mustabarru mutanu=Mars] appears: destruction of cattle will occur in the land." (53) Yet another text has the following passage: "If a fireball [meteor] (coming from) Mars is seen..." (54) If such reports reflect reliable eye-witness testimony- the view defended by Bjorkman (55)- and meteorites were indeed witnessed ...
