... . Nothing but the downrush of snows from the earths Annular System could have done this. These remains are dredged from the northern oceans, and they are also found fossilized over large portions of Siberia; in both cases being doubtless, dropped from icebergs. Tne mammoth is found frozen in a glacier; the glacier was originally snow; the destruction must necessarily have been sudden. If not more than one tenth of the waters now upon the earth had fallen in the form of snow it would have covered the entire land surface of the globe more than 30,000 feet deep; and as one tenth must have fallen in polar regions it briugs out the Annular Theory as a ...
632. Heracles as Cross-Dresser [Journals] [Aeon]
... due to a king, and Ama-u sumgal-anna causes a radiant brilliance to burst out for you; oh Inanna, you have handed over to him your power as is due to a king and Ama-u sumgal-anna causes a radiant brilliance to burst out for you; when he goes forth against the rebel, the far-away kur he spends his time in destructive whirlwinds; when Ama-u sumgal-anna goes forth against the far-away kur, he spends his time in destructive whirlwinds,like Utu when he comes out of the kur of the perfumed cedars, (shining) with good grease, he takes on enormous proportions, like Utu when he comes out of the kur of the perfumed cedars, Ama-u sumgal-anna ...
633. Velikovsky and his Heroes [Articles]
... The blood-stained rulers of Syria at this time were not only grimmer echoes of Amalek, they were also 2700 year-old forerunners of the tempest of hate sweeping Europe at the very time Velikovsky was writing. Velikovsky's conflicting attitudes towards Elijah and Isaiah, however, may be explained in part by the different national policies of these two prophets. Elijah prophecies destruction upon the land, whereas Isaiah eventually promised deliverance in his time. Elijah was commanded to anoint Hazael, king of Syria, for his terrible judgment on Israel. Isaiah counselled national resistance against the Assyrian attacks. Velikovsky's touchstone there is not the message of the prophets, but their actions for the people. For him, the history ...
634. The Hermes Connection [Journals] [Aeon]
... or as complex as one could imagine, but the key concept at the foundation of the Tao itself is its intrinsic meaning as "way" or "path." We shall attempt to explore this meaning through our own intricate path. In his historiographic reconstruction, Immanuel Velikovsky pioneered a path of his own by ascribing to extraterrestial agents certain destructive events in the 15th century B.C . and again in the 8th and 7th centuries B.C . This latter he considered to be the last of the natural disasters which had visited Earth, and in his role as Weltanalytiker he said these events acted as a reminder to mankind of his psychic and philosophical vulnerability. (4 ...
635. The Origins of the Spartan State in the New Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 300 years. So the above neat' and tidy' scenario appears to fly in the face of archaeo-chronology, according to which this sequence of events is greatly drawn out. Indeed, at a number of points, as a consequence of this stretching, the agents of the events apparently must have been unconnected to each other. Thus the destruction of the Achaean/Mycenaean settlements is attributed to unknown assailants: "In the present state of our knowledge we cannot reliably say how the Dorian tribes arrived in the Peloponnese.... "The palace of Therapne, standing on a hill not far from the left bank of the middle reaches of this river, fell to unknown ...
636. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... the hands of His people, therefore He bade Joshua, the future leader of the people, never to forget the war against Amalek; and if Moses had listened intently, he would have perceived from this command of God that Joshua was destined to lead the people into the promised land. But later, when Amalek took part in the destruction of Jerusalem, God Himself took up the war against Amalek, saying, "By My throne I vow not to leave a single descendant of Amalek under the heavens, yea, no one shall even be able to say that this sheep or that wether belonged to an Amalekite." [147] God bade Moses impress upon the ...
637. The Origins of the Latin God Mars [Journals] [SIS Review]
... much, signifying lord of the underworld' [23]. An early Assyrian text, titled Nergal and Ereshkigal', tells of Nergal's usurpation of the throne of the underworld at the expense of Ereshkigal [24]. Throughout the various ancient texts pertaining to Nergal the dominant image is that of a bloodthirsty god hell-bent on promoting war, destruction, death and pestilence. Jastrow summarised the god's cult as follows: "He is associated with pestilence, famine, and the grave... he is assigned to a position at the head of a special pantheon of the lower world where the dead dwell. His city, Cutha, becomes a poetical designation for the great gathering ...
638. Collective Amnesia and the Catastrophic Basis of Soap Opera (Concluded) [Journals] [Kronos]
... permanent sting. Such thoughts imply that the soap opera is anything but the mindless escapist diversion it is often considered to be. It should perhaps be seen instead as a coded statement of the deepest truths about collective human existence which our globe has been able to perceive, truths which encompass and reconcile good and evil, pain and pleasure, destruction and survival, reality and illusion. That may be why our culture produces it - we need a contemporary mythic form which will permit us to keep reminding ourselves that catastrophes can happen, but which sugar-coats this reminder with the solace that we can survive. Both of these critical functions are absent from the disasterless uniforrnitarian world view of mainstream ...
639. KA [Books]
... to divine behavior in the sky. In the end, this work by Crosthwaite, which we may call a Handbook, took on its own form. It is a dismemberment and reconstruction of Greek and associated myth such as has not occurred hitherto. Its hundreds of sketches and etymologies are grouped to follow a theme: the electric fire and destructive behavior of the sky gods, as these exhibit themselves in the language, rituals, myths, and behavior of the ancient Mediterranean peoples. A surprising form of "Handbook" emerges, which renders too limited the very designation. For it appears that a major portion of the Greek language (and probably all others) derives from Q-CD ...
640. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... evidence recorded in human mythology is that there was an initial catastrophe - Flood, Typhon, Comet, Venus, Hathor, Ishtar or whatever in the 14th century BC. There was no literate civilisation before that - e.g . the Flood layer at Ur, where there is 10 feet of mud. Benny commented that there were five destruction layers. Emmett agreed - four after the first Flood. The first of the four terminated the proto-literate period. The final Bronze Age catastrophe c. 800 BC terminated the early dynasties in Egypt and Mesopotamia and the age of human sacrifice. (For evidence see L. Woolley - Royal Cemetery at Ur.) Why did human sacrifice ...
