... good or bad fortune. The best form of recognition is coincident with a reversal of the situation, as in the Oedipus."(23) "Two parts, then of the Plot- reversal of the situation and recognition- turn upon surprises. A third part is the scene of suffering. ' The scene of suffering is a destructive or painful action, such as death on the stage, bodily agony, wounds, and the like."(24) It is often said that "character is fate". But the fate of a tragic victim, as Aristotle sees it, is a result of the sequence of events, and is not essentially a matter ...

... the many versions. How and why does it always happen that this Mill, the peg of which is Polaris, had to be wrecked or unhinged? Once the archaic mind had grasped the forever-enduring rotation, what caused it to think that the axle jumps out of the hole? What memory of catastrophic events has created this 141 story of destruction? Why should Vainamoinen (and he is not the only one) state explicitly that another Mill has to be constructed (see p. 110)? Why had Dhruva to be appointed to play Pole star- and for a given cycle?

... of Khoren), down to Daiukku, his successors, and the resurgence of Mitanni as the Median Empire. Thus, we see that the chronology of Velikovsky presents no real problem for Median history. The end of Mitanni would virtually correspond with the first appearance of the Medes. The earlier obscurity of the latter is accounted for by the destruction of the earlier Median Empire of Mitanni, while the Indo-European ruling class of Hurrian speaking Mitanni could also be explained: the Mitannians would be Indo-European-speaking Medes who doubtless used Hurrian as a literary language much as the later Armenians were to use Aramaic and Greek for centuries prior to the invention of the Armenian alphabet in the fifth century A. ...

... are the heavens represented in the caves? Could some of the animals be a zodiac of the caverns? I begin once more to riffle my pages. I am unprepared for the trip. This summer, until now, I have been writing of other subjects, related to ancient catastrophes - on schizophrenia among the first humans, of sudden destruction of cultures in the Middle Bronze Age, of the science of catastrophes. Now and then I would come across some mention of the cave country of France, of Spain, of grottoes of Africa and Italy, of the great Choukoutien cave of pithecanthropus in China. I know of ice caves as in America where ice lies deposited between ...

... , that of the Hebrews and Greeks. Isaiah was living during the final decade of the eighth century B.C . and he reported what he saw (see Isaiah 37:36, II Kings 19:35, II Chronicles 32:21). Isaiah witnessed and reported the last of a long series of recorded assaults by the destructive "Angel of the Lord" in the Old Testament. Some think this angel had no existence; others that it had a visible role but yet not materially substantial. We affirm that this destructive angel (Mars) had a mass of .10745 (compared to Earth's 1.0 , almost 11 percent as much). It ...

626. Heinsohn's Ancient "History" [Journals] [Aeon]
... Before one could entertain that hypothesis, however, it would first be necessary to show that the presence of Old Babylonian strata directly underneath Hellenistic strata is not a result of pure chance, such as the abandonment of a particular site for two thousand years before reoccupation under the Greeks. One would also have to rule out the possibility of intentional destruction of intermediate levels. How many ancient kings boast of razing a particular city to the very foundations before constructing their own city? Note further that it is not the occasional presence of Old Babylonian remains beneath Hellenistic strata that would prove Heinsohn's case; rather it would be necessary to document that such a relationship consistently prevails at various different stratigraphical ...

627. Floods and Tides [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the Biblical Flood to a time 500 to 1400 years earlier. That humans were civilized before the Flood is undoubted. Whether there exist excavations from this period among the Middle East excavations has to be determined by examining one site after another. Judging by the way the tide advanced and retreated, there would not have been a total dredging and destruction of already buried antediluvian sites but probably a complete extirpation of diluvian settlements. There should therefore be a rupture and hiatus between ante-diluvian and post-diluvian cultures. Probably the distinction ordinarily made between Paleolithic and Neolithic ages directs itself unwittingly at this catastrophic break. Hence the Great Archaeological Debate over the Deluge of Noah has probably not been treating of the ...

... the only Swastikas in Greece appearing in panels, but it is certain that the great majority of them do not thus appear, Therefore, Professor Goodyear's theory is not sustained, for no one will pretend that four specimens found in panels will form a rule for the great number which did not thus appear. This argument of Professor Goodyear is destructive of his other proposition that the Swastika sign originated by evolution from the meander or Greek fret, for we have seen that the latter was always used in a band and never in panels. Fig, 162. Although the Swastika and the Greek fret have a certain similarity of appearance in that they consist of straight lines bent at right ...

... arts a more philosophical basis in an attempt to rationalize the inchoate discipline of chemistry.(4 ) But even this early effort was based on the antedated work of more ancient Egyptian and later Creek metallurgists, who were more practical-minded, yet not without their own version of mysticism. About the year 290 a decree of Emperor Diocletian ordered the destruction of all manuscripts on the alchemical arts, to forestall any attempts to amass a huge fortune by any adept who could change base minerals into gold or silver, and thence foment a revolt against the empire. This unilateral decree effectively erased much of the early history of chemistry, but two papyri were found written in Greek from an Egyptian ...

Mulholland's having read Velikovsky's work when he was "fourteen".] Mulholland's paper was entitled, "Movements of Celestial Bodies Velikovsky's Fatal Flaw", and opened with this summary of Velikovsky's theory: "Within the folkmemory of man, Venus and Mars erupted into the sky and rushed close by Earth and each other several times, creating unimaginable destruction. The Earth stopped turning, the poles shifted, the year and month changed. Civilizations were destroyed. Finally, the two giant comets settled down into their present harmless orbits and became peaceable planets, leaving behind a legacy of fear codified into religious belief." No one yet has been able to discover where Mulholland got this bit ...
