... olive oil. Odyssey XIII:372: When Odysseus wakes up on the shore of Ithaca where the Phaeacians have brought him in their ship, Athene helps him. He hides his treasures, given him by the Phaeacians, in a cave, and the two of them sit down at the foot of a sacred olive tree and plan the destruction of the presumptuous suitors. Odyssey VI:79 ff.: Nausicaa, daughter of Alkinous, is to go with the maidservants to the river to wash the dirty clothes. Her mother gives her food and drink for the outing, and olive oil in a golden lekythos, oil flask. Line 96: When the laundry work is ...
642. Early Historic Man - Catastrophism and Calendars [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... he arrived at the conclusion that the Early Bronze, the Middle Bronze and the recent or Late Bronze, disappeared in catastrophic conditions. And those catastrophic conditions are written in the archaeological stratigraphy, where at each of these three periods you've got hiatuses, layers of ashes, of mud and all the rest, showing that really there was heavy destruction, and those destructions had practically arrived at the same date all over the world, at least apart from America, which later might be examined. And not only that, but those catastrophes which were found in archaeology were generally accompanied by periods of anarchy, disorders and plagues. This is written in the annals of the periods; ...
643. Thoth Vol I, No. 17: June 30, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... are not already common knowledge." John Locke- VELIKOVSKY'S COMET VENUS David Talbott (dtalbott@teleport.com) [EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series of articles on the myth of the comet Venus.] In _Worlds in Collision_, Velikovsky noted many tales of disaster and upheaval in which the agent of destruction possesses cometary attributes, even as it is identified with the _planet_ Venus. The anomalous "cometary" traits of Venus in world mythology thus became key pieces of the argument, and the strength of the argument derived from the breadth of sources. Velikovsky did not rely on traditions of one region only, but drew on key ...
644. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... (as mentioned in Genesis 14) at the south-eastern end of the Dead Sea, in Jordan. To date, only 2 of the 5 sites have been excavated, but it is clear that all 5 were of the Early Bronze Age because of the pottery found at the surface, that they perished one and all in "a fiery destruction" because of the thick covering of ashes and charcoal found on site, and that they were never re-occupied following their demise. An Early Bronze Age date for the end of Sodom and Gomorrah has been in the offing ever since Pettinato claimed to have found reference to these 2 cities in the Ebla tablets, and these new finds would ...
645. Chapter 6 Egyptian Stratigraphy [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... for "The Mitannian World;" in Chapter 21 for "The Early New Kingdom;" and in Chapter 22 for "The Amarna Period." In each and every site that he discussed are found artefacts from several dynasties from the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. The archaeological contradictions to the established chronology could not be more destructive to that chronology and more supportive and corroborative of Rose's, Heinsohn's, Sweeney's, and in part to Velikovsky's highly shortened chronologies. This evidence taken together with Sphinx erosion, Sothic dating, radiocarbon dating, and pottery dating once again points in the same direction — to a highly shortened chronology. On the basis of archaeology, the long ...
646. Actualism in Geology and in Geography [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... first 2500 million years is certain. And for the remaining 500 million years it is also certain that actualism does not apply to the energy per unit of time involved in geologic processes .. . Periods of strong endogenic forces have alternated with periods of weaker activities .. . And this went hand in hand with alternations in the intensity of destructive exogenic forces .. . But for the 500 million years of the last, sixth, part of our earth's history LYELL'S principle of uniformity retains its value in so far as it concerns the nature of the geologic processes" (7b, p. 81). So we are dealing with at least three aspects of actualism: 1 ...
647. What Was "Brimstone"? [Journals] [Kronos]
... Issue Contents What Was "Brimstone"?John V. Myers Copyright 1983 by Lewis M. Greenberg & Warner B. Sizemore Editor's Note: This article was first written by the late Dr. Myers in August of 1 - 4. It has been revised and edited by Dwardu Cardona in June of this year. - LMG Omitting the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, which may well have involved an explosion-produced rain of burning sulfur,(1 ) the Bible contains fourteen statements or implications that the fiery substance which fell in past catastrophes, or is to fall in the last days, was brimstone - i.e ., presumably, sulfur. The Bible also contains nineteen ...
648. Chronology of the Kings of Judah and Israel [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... : Catastrophism and Ancient History X:2 (July 1988) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION Chronology of the Kings of Judah and Israel Robert de Telder I have finally managed to translate into English a revised chronology for the kings of Judah and Israel. The key date to which my reconstruction is pinpointed is 586 B.C ., the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. Counting back 385 years (based on Ezekiel 4:4 ,5 ) gives the year 971 B.C . for the division of Solomon's kingdom and the beginning of the iniquity of the house of Israel. The 390 days/years of Ezekiel 4:4 ,5 I treated as prophetic years ...

... it fair to summarily reject all radiocarbon dates, due > to the concerns of outgassing? > 2. If it is, why? What evidence is there that outgassing has > in fact contaminated these samples? > 3. If samples are contaminated, are ALL of them > contaminated, even the grain seeds found in caches in > destruction layers (which strike me as being extremely > unlikely candidates for contamination)? The history of this debate may throw some light on your questions. The evidence is constantly changing and being updated, as a result of which the academic literature simply isn't keeping up with events. As I write, no doubt my arguments will have been ...
650. The Oedipus Legend and the Amarna Period [Journals] [Kronos]
... the appearance of the Sphinx, which is an integral part of the story, an origin in some Egyptian myth has been postulated for it at least three times.(3 ) The novelty of Velikovsky's idea lies in his suggestion that: A) the story of the death of the Sphinx originated in an historical event, namely, the destruction of a conspicuous sphinx-statue, and B) the prototype of Oedipus was an individual Egyptian king.(4 ) The question, therefore, is whether there existed an Egyptian king of sufficient stature to be remembered after centuries, whose fate was well known in Asia Minor, and in whose time a famous sphinx-statue was destroyed. Only Amenhotep ...
