... , but through a daughter of Oedipus whom he planned to marry to his son. Creon said to the dethroned Oedipus: "Eteocles, thy son, left me to rule this land, by assigning it as a marriage portion to Haemon with the hand of thy daughter Antigone." This succession to the throne through the female line was Egyptian and characteristic of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Whereas Akhnaton when on the throne assumed the appellation "Who liveth in truth," Ay, upon becoming king, applied to himself the cognomen, "Who is doing right." Such titles were rather unusual among the kings of Egypt. Yet one may understand Ay's selecting this motto. Like ...
612. The Olympian Rulers [Books] [de Grazia books]
... that the Romans took from their Etruscan neighbors. "Jove" was an exclamatory form of Jupiter, whence we take Jovea here to denote the period. Zeus was the Greek equivalent. He was Marduk of Babylon; Shiva of the Hindus; Mazda of the Persians; Thor or Donar of the Teutonic peoples; Amon and Horus of the Egyptians; Zeden and also Yahweh (Jehovah) of the Hebrews. Pausanias gives 47 appellations of Zeus. A most common appellation has to do with his lightning-hurling. Shiva carries the lightning fork; so do Zeus and Jupiter. Sometimes names and traits of Saturn were kept and transferred to the new god. Thus the Great Fish (Saturnian ...
613. Can There be a Revised Chronology Without a Revised Stratigraphy? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the period between this destruction and the LB II A city comes a group of several dozen burials in a cave. DEVER remarks that most of these "show signs of advanced arthritis, probably from stoop labour, which may be an indication of the hardships of life during this period" [30]. Yet contemporary finds, including "Egyptian glass, alabaster and ivory vessels, and a unique terra-cotta sarcophagus of Mycenaean inspiration" [31], indicate considerable prosperity and international trade at this time. In a revised framework, it is tempting to speculate that the burials were of people who suffered under Solomon's system of forced labour, by which Gezer was built according to I ...
614. Morning Star II [Journals] [Aeon]
... As Cochrane has now demonstrated, because of the nature of its orbital motion, (21) Mars moved periodically even closer to the Earth. As seen from terrestrial view, Mars appeared to penetrate through the encircling band and slide down the central axis, looming ever larger in the sky. For this reason, the liturgies intoned for the Egyptian dead not only bade the soul to ascend to heaven but also to descend to the "underheaven." Thus it was written "when thou desirest to ascend to Heaven, thou ascendest...and when thou desirest to descend to the Under Heaven, thou descendest." (22) But even this was not the end ...
615. Venus Before Exodus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , he left no indication as to his beliefs on whether Venus caused catastrophes before Exodus or not. It's this question which we shall be examining today. It's going to be necessary to give you an introduction to the history and archaeology of the Near East to explain our later themes [see diagram 1]. Velikovsky's Exodus catastrophe ends the Egyptian Middle Kingdom and the Middle Bronze Age of Palestine. In the subsequent period (known as the Second Intermediate Period) the Hyksos - the Biblical Amalekites - rule Egypt. Now previously there had been an Intermediate Period at the end of the Old Kingdom and before the Middle Kingdom began. From what we know, from historical documents of ...
616. Pensée [Journals] [SIS Review]
... MEMORANDA - Professor Hess was one of those few eminent scientists who worked to try and obtain a hearing for Velikovsky's theories. This article outlines their relationship and is followed by letters and detailed memoranda in which Velikovsky developed implications of his work and proposed experiments to test them. ASH - Invaluable documentation of Velikovsky's attempts to have C14 tests made on Egyptian New Kingdom objects: letters to and from institutions and individual scholars spanning the twenty years from 1953 and culminating in the remarkable story of the British Museum's suppression of the results of its tests on material from Tutankhamen's tomb. VENUS AND HYDROCARBONS - A reply to Dr W. T. Plummer of the University of Massachusetts on the composition of ...
617. Metallurgy and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... frightening. Definitions Most of Dayton's claims are based on the "hard" facts of chemistry and geology, and to make it perfectly plain what he is talking about he begins the book with a series of definitions, of glass, glaze, frit, faience and the other materials discussed in his study. Chapter two treats pigments and "Egyptian blue" (moulded objects of a chalky blue material) or kyanos as he prefers to call it, since it is one of Dayton's conclusions (Appendix I) that its manufacture was probably a Mycenaean invention. The next chapters discuss the application of glaze to clay and non-clay objects, and Mesopotamian glazed ceramics. So far Dayton sticks ...
618. Letters to the Editor C&AH 3:2 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the Courville chronology, mainly because Velikovsky compared literary documents describing events (e .g . Book of Exodus, Papyrus Ipuwer, Shrine of El Arish) and used them as the best evidence- he did not try to work them into contrived archaeological concepts based on doubtful conventional chronology. Gammon's Glasgow plan attempts to preserve the present structure of Egyptian history as closely as possible, minimizing errors as necessary. It seems to me that more convincing evidence is needed. His placement of Horemhab in Dynasty 19 is circumstantial and explains nothing, whereas Velikovsky's evidence reveals many mysteries concerning Horemhab's reign not solved by placing him in the time of Tutankhamen. I think the many references to Tutankhamen and ...
619. The Saturn Thesis (Part 4) [Journals] [Aeon]
... the pharaoh. The pattern will be clearly seen in the famous headdress of Tutankhamon. On ascending the throne (which means the conjunction of the hero and the goddess), the warrior-king wears the radiating streams as a headdress or wig. There are two colors involved: gold and turquoise. Gold was, of course, the most common Egyptian hieroglyph for radiance, while turquoise is uniquely the ancient color associated with the planet Venus (as we've noted many times in the past). Thus, in the Coffin Texts and elsewhere we see the Venus goddess Hathor imbued with turquoise and "covered" with what the translator Faulkner calls the "royal wig-cover." The remembered radiance ...
620. Are the Peleset Philistines or Persians? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of Solomon's temple, and the era of the Amarna Period. These altered placements called for a necessary chronological and historical abbreviation of traditional views by some 500 years. Many, including the writer, recognized in these proposals a possible answer to the conflict of opinions about the setting of the exodus in the background of either the 19th or 20th Egyptian dynasty. Serious objections have been raised to both placements, neither being able to attain universal acceptance. Velikovsky's proposals were summarily rejected by scholars since their acceptance generally would upset the conventional scheme in a disastrous manner. His views were anything but enhanced by the further proposal that the disturbance in Egypt at the time of the exodus, and ...
