... actual arrival of a comet may be in doubt. A comet and shooting stars are said to have appeared before the battle of Pharsalus in central Greece, heralding Caesar's defeat of Pompey. Josephus mentions in his History of the Jews that a comet in the form of a "sword" hung over Jerusalem for a whole year, foretelling the destruction of the city in the reign of the Emperor Vespasian. "The belief persisted into medieval and later ages," writes Theodor Gaster. "A comet heralded the Norman conquest of Britain in 1066. Disasters suffered by the Christians at the hands of the Turks in 1456 were popularly attributed to the appearance of a comet." In ...
612. Magnetism and Axial Tilts [Books] [de Grazia books]
... [8 ]. The motion performed is technically a fast precession. A moment's reflection will rid us of any notion that the action would be harmless. The atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere would be agitated and produce effects that by any measures would have to be called quantavolutionary. For instance, it appears most likely that the widespread sudden destruction throughout the northern regions of the mammoths and other large mammals occurred in conjunction with a tilt of the Earth's axis in the presence of the exoterrestrial entity causing the tilt. We can say this because a sudden deep vacuum freeze, asphyxiation, thrusting of masses of gravel and bones, and permanent cold ever thereafter, such that the animals ...
613. Did Thutmose III Despoil the Temple in Jerusalem? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a campaign at all. Most of the discernible names refer to localities in northern Palestine, which, in Shishak's time, belonged to the Kingdom of Israel. The name "Jerusalem" does not appear at all. Some scholars maintain, therefore, that the main attack was not launched against Judah, but against Israel, which suffered serious destruction (25). This contention, however, can only be upheld by scholars who are willing to sacrifice the reliability of the Bible (and of Josephus) - which this writer refuses to do (26). The Masoretic Text which has come down to us was written by Judaeans hundreds of years after the Kingdom of Israel had ...
... , all being under the personal protection of Hermes, or Thoth, who provided the souls with passports, amulets and charms, to enable them to reach their gloomy destination to be tried by Osiris. It is an aspect of immense psychological importance relative to the past, and, as I show later, Amenta was the region of the destruction of the Flood. The Greeks in like manner believed that the dead were conducted by Cyllenian Hermes to Hades, led by devious and secret paths, crossing the Styx, and were fancied as in emaciated condition and in gibbering mood, who could only be restored temporarily to intelligent understanding and speech by the scent of fresh-spilt blood. The ...
615. The 'Unconscious' as a Literary Revolt Against Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... concepts as the Greek catastrophe, ' the turning down point, ' and only then can I give you a story." By contrast with U, Catastrophism, whose principles had been steadily eroding between 1600 and 1875, offered the following beliefs: the world, the species, and mankind were created abruptly; they were repeatedly subject to destruction by divine or natural forces in the skies and earth; the time spanned by these catastrophes was short, changes in temporal and spatial dimensions of the universe are brought on by divine, heroic, and natural forces that are immense and unpredictable; all the hosts of heaven- sun, moon, stars, planets- may change their ...
616. Some Additional Evidence from the Period from the Exodus to the End of the Eighteenth Dynasty [Journals] [SIS Review]
... dominant city in Middle Bronze III, or the time of the Hyksos; it was not as prominent in the days of the late Bronze (New Kingdom in Egypt); levels of a series of subsequent periods were discovered, also of the time of the el-Amarna correspondence (Hazor is mentioned twice there); next there were signs of destruction and fire; but in the level ascribed by Yadin to the period of the Judges there was no Hazor worth mentioning, and this despite the fact that according to the books of Joshua and Judges it was the most prominent city - actually the capital - of greater Canaan, up to the slopes of Mount Hermon. This result, ...
617. Forum [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... asks if, for physical evidence, I am waiting for an inscription in God's own handwriting. I believe the best physical evidence would be uniquely related to an inversion: e.g ., formations on Earth reminiscent of the tidally-induced bulge, or some other mass concentration, that enabled a torque to flip Earth; or systematic worldwide coastal destruction caused by the accompanying ocean floods. I am unaware of any evidence for the former presence of such a bulge or mass concentration. The reader should be aware that to a first approximation a lunar mass placed, not impacted, on the Arctic Circle would produce an inversion in about a fortnight. So we are not concerned with trivial ...
618. The Blasted Career of the Mighty Swordsman [Books] [de Grazia books]
... poets, and people - all have a say. Gods have a good side and a bad side. In the case of Aphrodite - sheer beauty and concupiscence may pass for good in the later Greek lexicon, whereas sheer irresponsibility denominates evil. In the case of Ares, physical beauty combine with swift force on the good side; ruthless destructiveness highlights the bad. The terrible presence of Mars attended the birth of Rome and warranted him a longer and more fateful career than the Greeks could afford him. The Judeans, striving for monotheism, incorporated the visitations of Mars variously - now as a divine intervention of the Lord (and the archangels) against the army of Sennacherib, ...
619. Velikovsky, Glasgow and Heinsohn Combined [Journals] [SIS Review]
... would have been a contemporary of both Croesus of Lydia and Cyrus of Persia. During Merneptah's time too, Cyrus, after completing the conquest of Lydia, would have gone on to conquer the great city of Babylon. It so happens that in Merneptah's time the Hittite Empire, under its final Great King Tudkhaliash IV, was brought crashing to destruction by an Assyrian king named Tukulti-Ninurta. Shortly after destroying the power of the Hittites, Tukulti-Ninurta, we are told, went on to conquer Babylon - a conquest so memorable it was celebrated in an epic poem. In the Time of Merneptah and Tudkhaliash IV Ramesses II, I have said, did not reign in the 13th century but ...
... disturbed the Hebrews to a prodigious degree, for they were not such as they were accustomed to; and then the rumor that was spread abroad, how God frequented that mountain, greatly astonished their minds, so they sorrowfully contained themselves within their tents, as both supposing Moses to be destroyed by the Divine wrath, and expecting the like destruction for themselves. 3. When they were under these apprehensions, Moses appeared as joyful and greatly exalted. When they saw him, they were freed from their fear, and admitted of more comfortable hopes as to what was to come. The air also was become clear and pure of its former disorders, upon the appearance of Moses ...
