... is well-documented that several ancient gods expressly identified with the planet Mars were intimately associated with pestilence. The Babylonian Nergal is a case in point. Jastrow summarizes the ancient conception of Nergal as follows: The various names assigned to him, almost without exception, emphasize the forbidding phase of his nature, and the myths associated with him deal with destruction, pestilence, and death...In Babylonian astrology, he is identified with the planet Mars, and the omen-literature shows that Mars in ancient days, as still at the present time, was regarded as the planet unlucky above all others. (71) A similar figure is the West Semitic deity Reseph, whose cult enjoyed ...
582. Fossil Deposits [Books] [de Grazia books]
... 300 kilometers of movement at one kilometer per hour would reduce practically all life forms to grain size in a bio-mineral soup, which, when motion ceased, would be deposited and in a matter of days form a strong deposit, partly mineral and partly biological. The tide would be moving much faster in any disastrous scenario. The rate of destruction would increase with the speed. Therefore, a fast tide in a few hours over a stretch of a few kilometers would render the fossil record something readable, if at all, by electron microscope and paleobiochemistry. If tides had totally overrun the globe, the fossil record would be much less - all the less because tides dig up ...
583. Senmut and Phaeton [Journals] [SIS Review]
... had a cometary tail stretching towards Bootes). A final inference from the many anomalies of the southern panel unfortunately seems to have to be that Senmut was not really all that much better informed as to the true date of the Phaeton episode than his successors were. For him, presumably, the significance of the scene depicted was less the destruction of Phaeton than the marking of the start of a new era, or "Great Year"; he could well have deemed the subsequent catastrophes of this era to be trivial by comparison with this one. The present author certainly supposes that the Phaeton incident marks the most recent inversion of the earth though not, probably, the only ...
584. Eastern Anatolia and Velikovsky's Chronological Revisions - II [Journals] [Kronos]
... ) The earlier predominance of the in-coming proto-Armenians could have led foreigners to call this new amalgam Armenia, while a presumed resurgence of the native element would have led to the retention of the older name Hayasa (Armenian: Hayk) by the local combined population of the region. The Proto-Caucasians North of the Hittites, and presumably participating in their destruction, lay the Kashkaeans.(11) North of the Armenian plateau, along the Black Sea Coast to the east of them, lay the state known to Greek mythology as the kingdom of Aea or Colchis. Its people were perhaps related to the Hayasa and their state appears to have had Minoan and possibly Egyptian affinities. In the ...
585. On Language, Art, And Religion. Part I Ch.4 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... the year - 407 that all the temples of Egypt that stood when Cambyses entered the country ( -525) were ruined by this king. Medinet Habu, the mortuary temple of Ramses III, and the temple of Khonsu erected by him in Karnak are among the best-preserved structures of Egypt. Buildings of the twelfth century could hardly have escaped destruction in the seventh century by Assurbanipal; and if, by chance, one or a few of the temple and palace structures of imperial Egypt escaped destruction at the hand of the Assyrians, they were not likely to have survived the Persian conquest, too, one hundred and forty years later; at least their survival is denied by a ...
586. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... date in the 17th century, but some a date in the 16th. [See also Horizons' in this issue] Jericho Debate source: BAR Sept/Oct 1990, pp. 45-46, 69 In Bryant Wood's article in BAR for March/April 1990 (see Workshop 1990:1 , p. 26) he argued for a destruction by the Israelites c.1400 BC and by using pottery evidence attempted to show that this destruction was in the Late Bronze I period (conventionally 1550-1400 BC). This was contrary to Kenyon, the most recent excavator, who dated this particular destruction to the end of Middle Bronze, c.1550 BC, and said that there ...
587. From the Death of David to the Death of Ahab [Books]
... the fowls. So the house of Jeroboam suffered the just punishment of his impiety, and of his wicked actions. CHAPTER 12. HOW ZERAH, KING OF THE ETHIOPIANS, WAS BEATEN BY ASA; AND HOW ASA, UPON BAASHA'S MAKING WAR AGAINST HIM, INVITED THE KING OF THE DAMASCENS TO ASSIST HIM; AND HOW, ON THE DESTRUCTION OF THE HOUSE OF BAASHA ZIMRI GOT THE KINGDOM AS DID HIS SON AHAB AFTER HIM. 1. Now Asa, the king of Jerusalem, was of an excellent character, and had a regard to God, and neither did nor designed any thing but what had relation to the observation of the laws. He made a reformation of ...
588. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Sharuhen under the first 18th Dynasty pharaoh Ahmose, the Asiatic campaigns of Thutmose III and the internecine strife in Syro-Palestine recorded in the Amarna letters are all consigned to the period before the Israelite conquest. On the positive side, he strongly refutes the thesis advanced by Kathleen Kenyon, and supported by Albright, Wright and Yadin, that the MBIIC destructions at Jericho, Tell Beit Mirsim, Megiddo, Hazor and elsewhere were caused by early 18th Dynasty pharaohs. He points to the complete lack of inscriptional evidence and concludes: "It is naturally more attractive to have a precise Egyptian date to assign to these destructions, but in view of the lack of evidence for such activities from that ...
589. The Bible as History? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that in the Bible, historical fiction is used to express ideological beliefs. These can be seen to have motivated chronologers as long ago as the Deuteronomist and the Priestly redactor, and as recently as Archbishop James Ussher. Many examples of the schematic nature of biblical chronology are cited (cf. Rees). Wellhausen indicated 430 years from the destruction of Solomon's temple plus 50 years of Babylonian exile = 480, which parallels the 480 years from Exodus to the founding of Solomon's temple (I Kings 6:1 ). Again, Wellhausen noted 290 years from the birth of Abram to the entry into Egypt plus 430 years for the Sojourn plus 480 years to the founding of Solomon's ...
590. The Demands of the Saturnian Configuration Theory [Journals] [Aeon]
... to point to a re-creation of Saturn's cosmos which can be deduced on the strength of other evidence much too complex to go into here. 7. THE ARCTIC CARNAGE Meanwhile, does not this scenario, involving a tornado of planetary proportions, raise even more demands? To begin with, or to continue, we are all acquainted with the destructive force that tornadoes exhibit. Should not Saturn's Rankine vortex, therefore, have left signs of an even greater destruction? This would have been especially so since this titanic maelstrom would have wrought its devastation while laterally standing still. A full exposition concerning the history of the Axis Mundi requires a volume to be told in full. I cannot ...
