... 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 ...

... Meeting by Dick Gagel Plasma Scalability by Anthony Peratt Falling Star Ev Cochrane Comparative myths, mainly from North American Indians, concerning the fall of Star Woman, her association with the Warrior Hero, and their unifying cosmic relations. Page 11: The Opening of the Mouth Ritual- Part III Ken Moss The conclusion of a definitive evaluation of the Egyptian rite in question, stressing comparable ceremonies and associated beliefs from Mesoamerica, and how they relate to events that transpired during the evolution of the proto-Saturnian system.

893. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the realisation that organisms often survived purely by chance and not due only to the selection of superior genes. A less well known name is that of the German Jesuit Athanasius Kircher who was born 400 years ago. A highly inventive polymath, he managed to get away with ideas that could be considered heretical at the time. He listed the Egyptian kings and thereby proved that Egypt existed before the world was supposed to have been created, giving rise to the idea that the Bible was wrong. ASTRONOMY Goodbye Black Holes New Scientist 19.1 .02, pp. 26-30 At last some physicists are seriously questioning the existence of black holes. We never thought we would read in ...
894. A Possible Reference to King David in Ugaritic Literature [Journals] [SIS Review]
... literature of the ancient centre of Ugarit (Ras Shamra) on the coast of Syria provides a rich field of investigation for the student of the revised chronology. The close similarities between the language and poetry of Ugarit and that of some of the Old Testament books furnished Velikovsky with some of his most impressive evidence for lowering the chronology of the Egyptian XVIIIth Dynasty and the contemporary late Bronze civilisation of Syria/Palestine. On the revised chronology the library of King Niqmad of Ugarit, a contemporary of Akhnaton usually placed in the 14th century BC, dates from the 9th century BC, the time of Elijah and Elisha and shortly before the major Old Testament prophets [1 ]. One ...
895. Whirlpools and Whirlwinds [Books]
... did not originate in the same way. Some were conventionalized natural subjects, or conventionalized living creatures, or simply characteristic features of these objects or creatures, such as a leaf or branch representative of a tree, the horns of an animal like the ram or deer, the wings of a sacred bird like those of the falcon in the Egyptian "winged disc", or merely a feather of a bird, or the impression of a "bee's foot" to convey the idea of the presence of a god, as a Buddha footprint conveys to Buddhists the feeling that Buddha is present. Thus in an Egyptian magical papyrus, translated by Birch (which is not older than ...
896. Bouquets and Brickbats: A Reply to Martin Sieff [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Judah, this is hardly what one would expect if Ebla was indeed the capital of Israel. I have no idea where Sieff places Pepi I, ruler of Egypt's VIth Dynasty, in his reconstruction, but here is one pharaoh he must come to grips with in his theory concerning the true identity of Israel's capital. A lid to an Egyptian stone jar bearing the cartouche of this king who, according to conventional chronology, reigned from 2332 to 2283 B.C ., was also found at Ebla. As Paolo Matthiae, Ebla's excavator, reported: This proves that the city is as ancient as we claimed and, furthermore, that it could not have been destroyed until ...
897. Thoth Vol I, No. 3: February 18, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... one archetypal figure, because he is the god whose ancient name was "ONE", the primeval, all-encompassing "Unity". This figure is, of course, the Universal Monarch, the subject of our ONE STORY (So our ONE STORY might be subtitled the "The Story of ONE'"). Examples would include: Egyptian Atum and Ra, Sumerian An and Utu, Akkadian Anu and Shamash, Hindu Varuna and Brahma, Greek Ouranos and Kronos, Aztec Ometeotl and Quetzalcoatl, to name a few. Our claim is that all others stories, all other archetypal figures, when investigated at the core, lead back to the ONE STORY, intersecting with this ...

899. Thoth Vol III, No. 14: Nov 1, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... I do not mean to insult the experts. But the question deserves to be investigated from a new vantage point, one outside all familiar boundaries. A conceptual relationship is not only intimated by the root meaning of sacred activity, but by the earliest language relating to "words" (the instrument of remembering) and "limbs". Egyptian religious texts, for example, celebrate the VISIBLE words spoken by the creator-god, identifying these "words" with the forms and aspects of creation itself. This identity is embedded in both the Egyptian language and in the declarations of the religious texts. The "words" shouted by the creator, the Unity, meant nothing else than ...
900. Ebla and Near East Chronology Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... a factor Pettinato considers is mirrored in the Ebla tablets. Matthiae has gathered evidence which indicates MIIBI Ebla was the contemporary of the IV-VI dynasties in Egypt.[9 ] It is therefore probable that the destruction level dates parallel with the collapse of the Old Kingdom, and this compares with known destruction levels at such sites as Byblos, where Egyptian influence was strong, and EB III Palestine in general. Mallowan[l0] associates Mesalim with the Early Dynastic II-III phase of Kish, and we may note that flood and silt layers have been discovered at Kish at the close of ED I and again at the close of ED II-III.[11] Similar flood levels occur at ...
