... No one knows where it came from. The child grows old and has passed the song to others. There are variations. Beginning two centuries ago, they have been printed and the oral tradition is helped in maintaining itself in a bureaucratic world. Stories like "Sinbad the Sailor" go back and back until we discover that the dynastic Egyptians possessed them. The longest lived comptines go back to the cycles of chaos and creation. Although the temptation is strong (and it is conventional to succumb to it) to believe that nursery rhymes evolve over great lengths of time, this may not be the case. It may rather be that nursery rhymes begin shortly after a set ...
872. Problems With The Morning Star [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... in his identification of Greek Aphrodite as the Moon, and that Aphrodite, as goddess of love, was in fact the Greek Evening Star while Athena was the warlike Morning Star aspect of Venus only[2 ]. James proves his point by recourse to the myths and symbols of the Eurasian civilisations of the Hittites, Babylonians, Assyrians and Egyptians, where the often masculine, evil aspect of the Morning Star is contrasted with the feminine, love-goddess aspect of the Evening Star. Martin Sieff has gone further and suggested that "The fact that Venus was recorded as a catastrophic threat when perceived as Morning Star, but not when perceived as Evening Star, is a most important clue ...
873. Cosmic Catastrophes and the Origin of Megalithic Cultures [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the late XII Dynasty can be shown to have existed. However since we published the results of our work on the history of technology and art in Egypt [4 ], it is clear that this late Middle Kingdom does not belong to the beginning of the second millennium, but to the 8th to 6th centuries. Once the rest of Egyptian chronology has been clarified, the chronologies of Crete, Mycenae and, following on from there, the rest of megalithic Europe will be cleared up as well. This rejuvenation of Mycenaean megalithic construction technology brings about two synchronisms which are immediately plausible. First, there is the synchronism with the Sardinian nuraghe. They were known to have existed ...

876. Ear Symbols [Books]
... the early agriculturists who invented new myths, and introduced new modes of thought in connexion with their new modes of life, and invented new symbols to give expression to new beliefs, absorbed the earlier Palaeolithic beliefs which had been formulated by their hunting and fishing ancestors long before the soil was turned and corn sown and reaped. When the pre-Dynastic Egyptians became agriculturists they did not forget all they had previously known, nor did they wholly abandon ancient modes of thought and life for they continued to hunt and fish as well as grow barley. They continued, too, to use PaIaeolithic amulets and symbols although they discovered and used new amulets and introduced new symbols. Like the Chinese who ...
877. The Quarters of the World Displaced, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Quarters of the World Displaced The traditions gathered in the section before last refer to various epochs; actually, Herodotus and Mela say that according to Egyptian annals, the reversal of the west and east recurred: the sun rose in the west, then in the east, once more in the west, and again in the east. Was the cosmic catastrophe that terminated a world age in the days of the fall of the Middle Kingdom and of the Exodus one of these occasions, and did the earth change the direction of its rotation at that time? If we cannot assert ...

... the University of Florida who has long worked in the region] who added: That anyone ever lived there is a bit of a surprise." ' People do not move from more comfortable regions to ones that are grossly hostile. ' They move instead to regions that are distinctly more conducive to life. In all texts that deal with Egyptian, Hindu, Chinese, and Mesopotamian civilizations, the authorities claim that these civilizations moved into hospitable river valleys from arid regions, not the other way around. Stevens adds, "The emerging picture of this earliest American civilization is that of a people tied initially to the sea, but then moving abruptly-no one knows why-into the Andes highlands ...
879. The Earth Chronicles (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of "the gods" reported in all ancient cultures, and traces their record on our planet, Earth. The second work, Stairway to Heaven (1980) penetrates the record of human attempts to recognize, communicate with, and work with these periodic celestial visitors. It offers a shockingly radical interpretation of ancient high mystery cults, particularly Egyptian, and those readers with an open mind will find their understanding of myth greatly enhanced. For those who feel most comfortable with myth as a reality-based phenomenon, Sitchin's presentation of another force operating periodically on Earth will open up entirely new possibilities about the origins of "the gods," whom the Bible, he shows, called the ...
880. He Who Shines by Day [Books] [de Grazia books]
... aching head with an ax to help him give birth. THE EPITHETS OF VENUS Velikovsky, James and others offer numerous connections between Planet Venus and Pallas Athena through analogies of birth, traits and deeds. They further offer persuasive cross-identifications of Athena and Planet-Venus with the corresponding divinities of the same planet from other cultures, among them the Hebrew, Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese, Mexican, and American Indian. Graves, for example, lays out in detail the material on Pallas, whose primary myth-ensemble is as foster-sister to Athena. Pallas means simply "youth" or "maiden." Athena and Pallas were raised on the shores of Lake Triton in Africa. While playing at armed ...
