... after I had given my OK to the final version agreed upon between us - alterations which I am unable to accept. May I ask you, therefore, to publish this letter for the benefit of those readers who have taken the trouble to study my essay in detail? (1 ) On page 66 you give an interpretation of Thutmose's Egyptian name different from mine, leaving out half a sentence which actually is needed in order to understand the following suggestion. The text as I agreed it was: "Finally, the name Thutmose' is but the Greek version of the Egyptian name: Djhwty-ms, meaning the son of the god Djhwty' (Thot in Greek), ...
692. SIS Study Group 17th June 2000 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... were clearly inconsistent if taken literally. Josephus did not always agree with the OT numbers and David Roth wondered whether Josephus could be regarded as an independent source. Did he have access to both the Septuagint and original ancient sources? The choice of the Pharaoh of the Exodus was also discussed. Did Manetho make his identification of Dudimose' from Egyptian or Hebrew sources? Most revisionists used the Egyptian drought texts to make their selection, then retained the OT numbers and reduced the Egyptian chronology accordingly. Tony Chavasse said the duration of the Sojourn and Dynasties 6, 7 and 8 were the same and they were the same periods. He quoted Ginsberg in support and said the last king ...
693. Enheduanna and the Goddess Inanna [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review (1994) "Proceedings of the 1993 Cambridge Conference" Home | Issue Contents Enheduanna and the Goddess Inanna Bernard Newgrosh Introduction The latter end of the 3rd millennium BC saw the production of some extraordinary literature. The invention of writing had taken place maybe several hundred years earlier but already the Sumerian and Egyptian languages were replete with metaphor, a rapid evolution which testifies to the powers of observation of our ancestors and to the richness of their experience. However, much of the literature of the time (certainly that portion thought of as myth') is so unusual in content and so different from modern understanding that scholars are wont to regard ...
694. The Last Days of Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... it was, in this case, a fruitful clash. Sigmund Freud, like Velikovsky, had a personal problem with Moses. All his life, Moses stood in Freud's way, it seems, and ultimately, in his last intellectual act, Freud confronted him and, literally, put him to death. Freud made out of Moses an Egyptian, member of the royal household, and derived his greatest invention, monotheism, from Akhenaton's failed religious revolution, the worship of a unique god, Aton. He also, most powerfully, brought together his own theories of "Totem and Taboo" (the murder of the father by the rebelling sons as one of the founding acts ...
695. The Nature and Scale of an Exodus Catastrophe Reassessed [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a global catastrophe is not a prerequisite for the extraordinary events recorded in these texts. 2. The Yam Suph Event (Exodus 14:1-30; 15:4-12) The essential features of this event are: the body of water by which the Israelites camped was divided, leaving dry land for the people to walk on; when the Egyptians tried to follow, the divided waters rejoined, drowning the army of Pharaoh. It must be stressed at the outset that nothing in the text requires us to believe that the water formed two vertical walls, one on either side of the marching Israelites - notwithstanding rabbinic tradition, the dramatic paintings of Francis Danby and the big screen portrayal ...
696. Kadmos: The Primeval King [Journals] [Kronos]
... in the accounts of these authors, their differentiation remains the task of the scholar. That ancient chroniclers frequently recorded myth as history is a common-place observation that is particularly apparent in traditional king-lists. Witness the account of Dumuzi's kingship in the earliest Sumerian king-lists, Dumuzi being Sumer's greatest god.(1 ) A similar situation prevails in the earliest Egyptian records where Osiris appears as a king, and in Mexico where Quetzelcoatl becomes the greatest of mortal rulers.(2 ) As the epic sagas of the Middle Ages demonstrate. this practice continued for several millennia. Saxo Grammaticus' Gesta Danorum, for example, portrays Baldur, the supreme god of the ancient Norse, as fighting wars ...
697. Chaos and Creation [Books] [de Grazia books]
... devastating since the fall of Saturn; 1453 B.C . may be the exact year by present retrospective reckoning; the superb work of Velikovsky guides us in this as it does elsewhere in these pages [4 ]. It was a year when the plagues struck Egypt, as the Bible recounts, and the exodus of some Hebrew and Egyptian survivors occurred. Every city in the world must have been shaken and damaged. Tidal floods swept over every coastal culture. Volcanoes erupted. The Earth was scorched by lightning, covered with dust, ashes, gravel, obnoxious and noxious gases, struck repeatedly by slow-speed meteorites, and showered with hydrocarbons, some of it burning. The ...

... several. Their brand of catastrophism had, however, been largely eclipsed by the uniformitarianism which prevailed with the general acceptance of Darwin's theory of evolution. Velikovsky was therefore hailed as the re-inventor of catastrophism. There was, however, a reference in Alfred de Grazia's Cosmic Heretics to a William Comyns Beaumont. Beaumont had some fanciful ideas that the Egyptian dynasties had been in Wales and the real Jerusalem was Edinburgh, a thought which amused our Scottish editor. More to the point though, between 1925 and 1946, many years before Velikovsky published Worlds in Collision, Beaumont published 3 books on planetary catastrophes in which 25 individual points were exactly the same as those in Velikovsky's work. Although ...
699. Thoth Vol IV, No 13: Aug 31, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... a fundamental relationship to the sovereign god we have called the Universal Monarch, and all playing distinctive roles in the One Story QUEEN OF HEAVEN Wherever you find the Universal Monarch you will find close at hand the ancient mother goddess- the feminine power whom the Sumerians called Inanna, the Queen of Heaven, and the Babylonians called Ishtar. For the Egyptians the prominent goddess figures include Isis, Hathor, and Sekhmet, each with numerous counterparts in their own and in other lands. Familiar names of the great goddess would include the Greek Aphrodite, Athena, and Artemis, or the Latin Venus, Minerva, and Diana, but many hundreds of counterparts could be named, all expressing a ...
... From: Recollections of a Fallen Sky, Edited by Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents Structuring the Apocalypse: Old and New World Variations William Mullen Hodder Fellow in the Humanities Princeton University My project here is a kind of spectral analysis of religions-Egyptian, Hebrew, Christian, Islamic; Teotihuacano, Mayan, Hopi, Aztec - and since the subject of religion has traditionally involved polemic, I would like to begin by considering calmly for a moment the most effective means by which polemic can be avoided. We have had a taste of an ongoing scientific polemic at this symposium, and need only remind ourselves of the greater heat generated in the past by religious polemics ...
