... originally explained as vassals' sent to accompany their lord to the next world but the depictions on contemporaneous scarabs would suggest that these were sacrifices. This era was known as The Age of Sacrifice by the Hindus and similar practices were performed in China. This was also the time of the origin of a worldwide combat mythology, with gods defeating dragons and monsters. It seems to be an inescapable conclusion that sacrifice was inextricably associated with celestial deities and that, therefore, the Priest-kings were taking part in a sacred drama in which humans played the part of gods. Kingship was lowered from heaven' after catastrophes associated with a celestial body, the great serpent later known as Inanna/ ...

273. First Century: Visions Of Apocalypse. Ch.3 In Fear And Trembling (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars... ". .. Woe, woe, woe to the inhabiters of the earth..."[9 ] The phantasmagoria goes on; one frightful vision is supplanted by the next, even more frightful: a dragon appears in the sky, and another star falls, and a bottomless pit opens. Beasts of horror march in a procession of awe. The fearful sufferings of the whole century before Jerusalem became capta in the claws of the Roman eagle, and the next century of broken hopes and disillusionment vexed many a soul with dread expectation of the ...
274. A Reviewer At The Stake. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... public accountant and always counted money by the sound of its jingle, and there was no jingle? Should not the public accountant have looked into the plate before loudly accusing you, or a reviewer into the book instead of the index? To invoke Kugler and Fotheringham is the same as to invoke the help of both Saint George and the Dragon. Fotheringham, Schoch, and their school argue that from very ancient times Babylonian astronomy was very exact and the observations of the eclipse as to place and date very precise. If this is so, the observations of the ancients (of which there are very many in Worlds in Collision) must have a very authenticated value, and ...

278. Thoth Vol III, No. 12: Aug 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... . The principle is inherent in Greek approaches to the two gods. Though Kronos and Zeus were clearly two different planets in Greek times, their biographies nevertheless overlap. Zeus is acknowledged to be the younger form of Kronos, of course. However, the two aspects are impossible to miss: Kronos is never portrayed as a victor over world-threatening dragons of darkness. You see the same thing in the relationship of Osiris to Ra. Osiris is inseparably connected to Ra as the son of Ra, and the "second Ra", but he is certainly not IDENTICAL to Ra. The Egyptians remembered Atum-Ra as the central sun presiding over the creation and the First Time; and they ...

... to our representation, to the Tertiary satellite. The Jews call iron ore nechoshet, which literally means the droppings of the [cosmic] serpent', a nonsensical term unless our interpretation of it is allowed. The Aztecs called gold teocuitlatl, the excrement of the gods' above. The Chinese call gold the solidified breath of a White Dragon', an expression which we can now understand. The Peruvians called gold the tears wept by the Sun' and silver the tears of the Moon'; both Sun' and Moon', however, are here only different names of the same cosmic phenomenon, the Tertiary satellite. This mixing of names we also find in the ...

... had not been speedily killed by Zeus by means of a thunderbolt. The Stoics and many other ancient philosophers taught that the world was doomed to destruction by fire. In the Old High German poem Muspilli the Great Fire figures prominently. In the Avesta, the Holy Book of the Aryan Persians, we find the story of a great fiery dragon which rose in the south and destroyed everything. It raged for ninety days and nights. Then came a terrible rainstorm followed by a flood. In Firdausi's epic poem Shâh Nâmah, many parts of which are based on early Persian traditions, the fire-bringer is also a serpent-killer. The Biblical records usually place the Great Fire in the distant ...
