... only a few burials dug into the debris of Ancient 2, but elsewhere there were some architectural remains and an olive oil press. Thus there seems to have been continued occupation but on a reduced scale. Schaeffer suggested about 300 years for this period followed by a further destruction, but the chronology here is grossly overstretched due to his extended Egyptian chronology. We do not know what brought about the end of this final poor phase of the Early Bronze Age at Ugarit. On the top of the tell, above the debris of Ugarit Ancient 2, was found a layer of clayey soil which was attributed to weathering of the mud brick remains of Ancient 2 and/or wind ...
582. Sir Norman Lockyer (1836-1920) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Lockyer had previously noted the axis at Stonehenge pointed in the same direction. NE is roughly the sunrise on midsummer day, more pertinently the sunrise in June as a generality. Lockyer was convinced the stars were used to fix calendar dates but the majority of scholars did not believe him. Indeed, Egyptologists have consistently ignored the stellar features in Egyptian religion and they treated Lockyer as a figure of fun. He thought the Egyptians used stars and the positions of clusters of stars, or constellations, as forewarnings noted by priests .. . in order to pinpoint accurately the rising of the sun at specific times in the year (at the solstices for example). The priests were ...
583. Question Session 1: Chairman - Brian Moore [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2000:1 "Proceedings of the SIS Silver Jubilee Event" Home | Issue Contents Question Session 1: Chairman - Brian Moore Q1. David Roth asked John Bimson whether he approached archaeology by looking just at the stratigraphy, or by relating this to either Egyptian or Biblical history, each of which could give different dates. Can an archaeologist avoid being influenced by preconceptions and can he separate these three completely when excavating or studying the findings? John replied that stratigraphy by itself only provides relative dates, lower strata being generally earlier than higher strata. It's what you find in the strata which provides potentially absolute dates. In case of Syro ...
584. The Saturn Problem [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (Sol and Luna; Greek Helios and Selene), though sometimes identified with the great gods Apollo and Diana, played practically no role at all in the rich mythology of the Romans and Greeks. Even in ancient Egypt, where the Sun-gods Ra and Aten were undoubtedly important, they were not necessarily paramount. Osiris, the most important Egyptian god, was not originally a solar deity. In the heavens he seems to have been represented by the stars of the constellation Orion. Amun, the reigning king of the Egyptian gods, was thought in classical times to be the equivalent of the Roman Jupiter and was only really represented with solar characteristics when he was identified with the ...
585. Chapter XXI: Star-Cults [Books]
... although they certainly personify different stars, if they personify stars at all. We seem, then, in a difficulty, and at first sight matters do not appear to be made any clearer by the fact that Hathor (and, therefore, Isis) was worshipped under different names in every nome. Lanzoni, in his admirable volumes on Egyptian mythology, gives us, not dealing with the matter from this point of view at all, no less than twenty-four variants for Hathor! In the temple at Edfû no less than 300 names are given with the various local relations and forms used in the most celebrated shrines. [1 ] In the inscriptions at Denderah itself a great ...
586. From the Death of David to the Death of Ahab [Books]
... the same officer who provided for the king's expenses supplied also the fodder for the horses, and still carried it to the place where the king abode at that time. 5. Now the sagacity and wisdom which God had bestowed on Solomon was so great, that he exceeded the ancients; insomuch that he was no way inferior to the Egyptians, who are said to have been beyond all men in understanding; nay, indeed, it is evident that their sagacity was very much inferior to that of the king's. He also excelled and distinguished himself in wisdom above those who were most eminent among the Hebrews at that time for shrewdness; those I mean were Ethan, and ...
587. Peruvian Heart [Journals] [Aeon]
... Chillon Valley, Peru. Whether or not these children were related to one another will have to wait on further DNA analysis. What was most intellectually enticing about these dour specimens was that each mummified hand held a hollow funerary cane in its grasp. The canes themselves were stoppered with raw cotton, not unlike what has been found with ancient Egyptian funerary practices. Inside these tubes was found a white powdery substance that, at first, was suspected of being a hallucinogenic drug, but forensic analysis by the medical examiner's laboratory discounted this question. Scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction analysis at Scripps Institution of Oceanography later identified the white substance as gypsum, an inorganic which in its dehydrated ...
588. Stairway to Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... objections to the Saturn-theory follows this line of reasoning: "How do we really know that the mythical traditions surrounding the ancient deities actually have anything to do with planets?" Leroy Ellenberger, in typical bombastic fashion, has labeled this view the "Big Lie" behind the Saturnist research agenda. It is true that, in the earliest Egyptian, Vedic, and Greek mythological traditions, the planets are rarely mentioned by their astronomical name. Why, then, do we insist that the respective planets were important players in these cultures? Well, for one thing, we are not alone in this belief. For several decades now, the words of Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha ...
589. Solomon's Temple: An Astronomical Observatory [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... 3 But I have something more extensive in mind. Hiram III as a puppet king under the Persians has already been mentioned. To provide some background for him we need here a reassessment of 6th century B.C . events to take the following into account: A revised chronology generally following Velikovsky's. The Phoenician role in taking to Greece Egyptian ideas, especially their alphabet, royal incest, and the Baal-Apollo cult. The anti-Persian and anti-Phoenician attitudes of Aeschylus and Sophocles- especially in the three Oedipus studies. The Persian efforts to seize all of Africa. Phoenician-Persian operations in Italy, and the establishment of the Roman republic. Biblical views about royal incest. The confusion of identities ...
590. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of Classical Civilisation; Vol I; The Fabrication of Ancient Greece 1785-1985. Not surprisingly its publication provoked a storm of criticism from the Classical establishment. Prior to the 19th century it had always been accepted by the Greeks themselves, and by other ancient writers, that their culture had been heavily influenced by, if not derived from, the Egyptians and Phoenicians. Thus the Greek goddess Athena was believed to have originated as the Egyptian goddess Neith - hence the title Black (= Egyptian = African) Athena'. [ 'Brown Athena' would have been more appropriate but might have lost some of its impact!] During the 19th century notions of European superiority and anti-Semitism, ...
