... open eyes toward the East, wears a smile that bespeaks an eternally enigmatic thought. This Sphinx, cut out of the rock, has survived the longest and is the oldest, dating from the Old Kingdom. Like all sphinxes, it has a human face with an animal body; in this respect a sphinx differs from other images of Egyptian deities which have human bodies and animal heads. The face of the Sphinx at Gizeh is that of Pharaoh Chephren, successor to Cheops; Chephren's pyramid, a little smaller than that of Cheops, is nearby. . The animal body is that of a lion or lioness. The pbaraoh was thus represented'as a powerful god. In later ...

663. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1996:1 Home | Issue Contents Forum C&C Review 1994 (Vol. XVI) Forum Response by Phillip Clapham Velikovsky was like a computer word processor. He cut up and repasted large chunks of ancient history. In Ages in Chaos, Egyptian pharaohs tumbled. Biblical events took prominence in the new scheme of things. The role of Saul as a national liberator was developed, the sort of hero that might appeal to a contemporary of the newly emergent modern state of Israel. It was suggested that the splendid kingdom of Solomon, rich beyond dreams according to legend, outshone Egypt at the height of her economic and military clout ...
664. Heaven's Mirror [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... - that is, the An-Ki, the circle of above and below. This elementary extension of language means that the same word has two meanings: 1) "unified heaven," and 2)"above" (relating to the mirror aspects of above and below). A similar confusion can be seen in the development of the Egyptian language of above and below- two aspects of a single sphere- as I'll attempt to illustrate in later notes. The most common use of the phrase "heaven and earth" in world mythology will concerns the "separation of heaven and earth," but when the myths are examined in context, they are not always saying exactly the ...
665. Jeremy Goldberg - Still Looking for David [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the coastal plain and simply too close' [16] to Ekron. This location would also leave all Philistia inland of Gaza and Ashkelon without a major centre. For revisionists, the crucial point here is that the process of elimination which failed to find an acceptable site for Philistine Gath in the south depends [17] on the orthodox Egyptian chronology. The situation would seem to change radically with a downdating of Egyptian New Kingdom chronology by several centuries, specifically with regard to Tell el-Hesi: the location of this site, in the coastal plain and inland of Gaza and Ashkelon, is very appropriate. Tell el-Hesi dominates the surrounding plain' and was the site of a large ...
666. Night of the Gods: Disputatio Circularis [Books]
... in imagination at its sole and highest point quiescent, its pivot, its the Northern Pole. Anyhow, that was what was done; and one of the main objects of this Inquiry is to identify the Polar Deity with the oldest, the supremest, of the cosmic gods of all early Northern the PoIar God with the Ptah of the Egyptians, the Kronos of the Greeks, the Shang-Ti of the Taoists and the Tai-Ki and Tai-Yi of the philosophic Chinese, with the Amenomi Naka Nushi of archaic Japan. This is attempted in the chapters concerned with the Polestar and the mythic sacredness of the North; where also the Eye of Heaven and the Omphalos myths find their local habitation ...
667. The Exodus Symposium April 23-25, 1987 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... was bringing to bear. It was in 1981 that Goedicke first revealed his theory that the massive eruption of the volcanic island of Thera, north of Crete, some time near the end of the sixteenth century B.C . was responsible for many of the events associated with the Exodus. These would include a tidal wave which destroyed the Egyptian army at the sea of passage, a pillar of cloud by day/pillar of fire by night, which the Israelites sighted while in Sinai, and some of the unusual phenomena associated with the ten plagues, such as prolonged darkness, ash fall, and insect plagues. Goedicke presented some of the geological evidence- that the Thera ...
668. Astronomical Computation [Books]
... , the coincidence of the calendar with the natural phenomena (succession of seasons) would have been completely disrupted at the end of 360 years or eight generations (counting three generations per century): the calendar year would have `slipped' back in the real year by ninety days. Nowadays, it is believed that some peoples (the Egyptians among them) deliberately used an erroneous calendar for several millennia. Why should people have used calendars which they knew were wrong?1 The Egyptian absolute chronology being the pivot of that of historical antiquity, it will be studied and discussed in detail in a later work. Let it be sufficient here to point out that it is believed ...

... left such things as dragon mythology best explained by a passing comet and extraterrestrial causes for Bronze Age catastrophes. The discussion strayed to theories such as that of Hancock where, if Plato's dates were taken literally, then Atlantis was part of the ancient, highly developed civilisation which was wiped out. The pyramids could be much older than accepted if Egyptian society was started with the knowledge held by the few survivors, but that led to the problem of why they subsequently lost this knowledge. If it was conceded that the technology of pyramid building was too good for the time of their supposed erection, then another explanation was that they were actually built later when there were metal tools. ...
