... points out that Aphrodite has numerous characteristics in common with Ishtar. Both are depicted as goddesses of love and associated with rites of prostitution, for example. [19] Aphrodite, like Ishtar, was represented as armed and invoked to guarantee victory. Aphrodite's beard recalls that elsewhere ascribed to Ishtar. Anthat (Annuthat, Antit), the Egyptianized form of the Canaanite Anat, who was referred to as the Lady, or Queen, of Heaven. In his comprehensive survey of Aphrodite's cult, Burkert never once mentions the planet Venus. Here the renowned scholar is presumably but following the prevailing view, which does not recognize an early connection between the goddess and the planet. [ ...
752. Crazy Heroes of Dark Times [Books] [de Grazia books]
... research of Isaacson on Pylos. The destruction of Pylos has been compared with the destruction of Gordion, in Asia Minor. The city whose Gordian knot was later cut by Alexander, perished also in a disaster. Pylos was of Mycenaean Greek culture: Gordius was Phrygian. At Pylos were found ceramics that resembled Mycenaean ware that was associated with Egyptian ware and therefore assigned the Egyptian dates because these were the basis of Near Eastern chronology. The Phrygians, however, are honored by their own archeological and historical dating system and Gordius is said to be of the eighth century before Christ.

753. Indra: A Case Study in Comparative Mythology [Journals] [Aeon]
... of it direct succession and elaboration of the Vedas, other parts purveying potentially important ancient para-Vedic tradition, still others probably reflecting the fictional impulses of a later age. (7 ) If the vast majority of Indra's deeds can be found in the Veda, it is not always a simple matter to interpret their original significance. Not unlike the Egyptian Pyramid Texts, the Vedic hymns generally present only the barest outlines of a particular myth, the details of the myth, presumably, being thoroughly familiar to the audience. Moreover, although it forms the oldest body of Indian texts, the Veda itself is the product of many authors and bears numerous signs of having undergone a considerable evolution ...
754. Were Abraham, Joseph, and Moses Located in the Old Kingdom? (Letter) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... these themes. Abraham The historical background of Abraham's time does not fit the First Dynasty (c . 3050-2859 B.C .) . The time also is much too long from then to the conquest of Canaan (c . 1200 B.C .) . From the Bible we do not learn the important information that Abraham taught the Egyptians mathematics and astronomy. How could Josephus know these unknown things? He lived about 3000 years after the First Dynasty. Abraham's historical background better fits the nineteenth century in Mesopotamia. Joseph In this case it must also be said that Joseph's historical background does not fit the Old Kingdom (Dynasties 3-6, c. 2705-2200 B.C . ...
755. Chapter 13 Scythian Princes in the Royal Tombs of Ur [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Assyrians" and were not identified by Heinsohn as Sumerians. After having written this statement he ignored it when he then accused Heinsohn of identifying the Scythians with the Sumerians. But Cardona's discussion does not explain why these so-called Sumerians were practicing this grisly form of burial as did the Scythians some 1500 years later. There are some indications that the Egyptians in their very early history may have sacrificed members of the royal court with their sovereign. Cardona writes about certain similarities between the Scythian and Sumerian graves but has failed to give us any evidence at all from Sumerian history, art, literature, religion, etc., for the Sumerians having ever been involved in this burial rite before ...
756. Untitled [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the Israelites were ill-equipped to meet the attacks of the Philistines. In contrast, the Philistines, governed by a military aristocracy, were already in the Iron Age. They guarded their metallurgic knowledge jealously, as evidenced by the necessity for the Israelites of entering Philistine cities to have their plows sharpened.[3 ] With the continued decline of Egyptian influence the attacks of the Philistines grew bolder. Matters caine to a crux around the close of the eleventh century B.C . when the Israelites met the Philistines in battle in the area between Aphek and Eben-Ezer.[4 ] The devastating defeat of the Israelites together with the loss of the ark of YHWHA to the Philistines brought ...
757. Quartered At Yale. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... was covered with gloom for many years. It is said also that a new bright star was born in the days of Yao. All this, I demonstrated in my book, has exact counterparts in Hebrew traditions and legends, as narrated in the Scriptures, Midrash, and Talmud, relative to the time of the Exodus, and in Egyptian traditions as well. The sole difference is that according to the Egyptian source, the sun remained below the horizon causing "Egyptian darkness" for nine days- or for seven days according to midrashic tradition. This shows there was no borrowing by the Chinese from Egypt or Judea, or the other way around, by Egypt or Judea from ...
758. A Chronology for Mesopotamia (contra Heinsohn) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1992 No 2 (Jan 1993) Home | Issue Contents A Chronology for Mesopotamia (contra Heinsohn)by A. H. Rees Following in the footsteps of my Egyptian Monumental Evidence' [1 ], it was felt that it was time to remind interested parties about certain items of long-standing, authenticated, unambiguous and easily available evidence relating to Mesopotamia and neighbouring areas. This being evidence that would appear to strongly deny not only Gunnar Heinsohn's late placement of Hammurabi's Babylon dynasty, and other related ones [2 ], but also the similar proposals of other researchers such as Sweeney [3 ], Lasken [4 ], Sieff [ ...

... of the Ancestor." (This information came to me from Eric Miller, who spent many years investigating Chinese imagery of Venus.) And the Ringa-Ringaroo of Australia remembered the planet Venus as _Mimungoona_, "The Big Eye". This widespread identity of Venus as the "eye" is surely the key to understanding why the Egyptian goddesses Isis, Hathor, Sekhmet, and others commonly identified with the Mediterranean Astarte/Aphrodite/ Venus were invoked throughout ancient Egypt as "the Eye of Ra". More specifically, as I have noted elsewhere, the Egyptian language implies a SMALLER orb appearing squarely in the center of a LARGER sphere. The texts describe the Eye ...

... had readopted the traditional canons completely. The Libyan Dynasty was actually Assyrian - a fact illustrated by such names as Osorkon (Ashur-kan), Nemeret (Nimrud), Takelot (Tukulti/Tiglath), and Sosenk (Susa) - and accepted by many authorities, including Sir Flinders Petrie. In Velikovsky's chronology, this first Assyrian period of Egyptian history would have occurred ten years or so after the death of Tutankhamun (c .825 BC), and would have arisen through an invasion of Asiatic epigoni, descendants of warriors who had earlier accompanied Smenkhare in his attack on Thebes (an event portrayed on one of Tutankhamun's decorated chests). Thus the Assyrian Dynasty would have commenced ...
