... how the old man brightened up when he heard this. "Yes, indeed, Amynander,"11 he said with a smile, "if Solon had only, like other poets, devoted himself seriously to his muse and, more especially, if he had written his epic on the theme with which he had become acquainted during his Egyptian tour instead of concerning himself with the solution of the political intrigues and troubles which he found rife on his return, I do not doubt but he would have become as famous as Homer, or Hesiod, or any other poet." [21d] "And what might the subject of that epic have been, Critias?" ...
912. Distorting and Reconstructing the Past [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... with the intention of showing how the latter state represents the Median kingdom of Assyria, which developed after the centre of power moved from Ecbatana to Ashur. The Mitanni, as well as their successors the Middle Assyrians, were contemporary with Egypt's New Kingdom. Indeed, the final years of Mitannian power correspond almost exactly with the decline of the Egyptian 18th Dynasty. Thus, Professor Heinsohn places all the well- known characters of this epoch, such as Akhnaton, Tutankhamun, and Horemheb, at the end of the 7th century BC. Now it so happens that the final years of the 18th Dynasty represent one of the best-documented epochs of ancient times. A whole mass of political ...
913. 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 ...
914. Mars Gods of the New World [Journals] [Aeon]
... led to as a result of our comparison of Tezcatlipoca with Nergal. In addition to the connection of Mars with war and erratic behavior, there is also the possibility that the curious gait ascribed to Tezcatlipoca's star likewise has reference to the red planet. Thus, more than one ancient culture remarked upon Mars' propensity for walking backwards. In Egyptian tradition, for example, Mars was known as Sba aabti tcha pet, "the planet that moved onwards and retreated." (50) Another name for Mars was Hor-tesher, "the Red Horus." According to Budge: "He was said to journey backwards in traveling'." (51) In the Republic. ...
... The other is Egypt, where apart from his phase as Ammon, as Thoth, the Teacher, the deity who controlled the souls of the dead, there exist numerous monuments, inscriptions, and records of this most important deity, and he is the reputed author of the famous Book of the Dead, which regulated the after-life of every Egyptian. Hermes was also paramount among the Pelasgi, first settlers in the later Hellas, as also among the Phoenicians, and the Thracians. But little of this worship is discoverable in the countries of the Mediterranean except in the remains of ancient Carthage. There is no surprise that Hermes was the principal deity in Britain, for his genealogical ...
916. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... New Scientist 10.7 .99, pp. 42-45, 7.8 .99, supplement p. 11, Scientific American Nov. 98, pp. 36-43, Connecticut Post 7.3 .99 Now it is the accepted thing: signs of past catastrophic impacts of bodies from space continue to be found everywhere. In the Egyptian Sahara is an large area scattered with tonnes of the purest natural silica glass ever found. Its melting point is over 500 degrees higher than other glasses and it has been dated to nearly 30 Myrs ago. Some dark inclusions have proved to be high in iridium, indicating contact with space material, but there is no sign of an ...
917. The Etruscans and their Language [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , for example the Lydian tlabrys, which appears in Greek as labrys, and in Latin as dolabra, axe. This, and the Latin bipennis, or winged axe, and also securis (Hebrew seghor is an axe), are lightning symbols, like the eagle of Zeus, which perched on a sceptre, and appears on an Egyptian sceptre, a scotch for what looked like a monster snake in the sky [1 ]. The Greek pelekus is a sacrificial double axe, and if a link could be established between this and the name Pelasgi', Etruscan history might be headed with the words The axeman cometh'. The electrical fire, or lightning, is ...
918. A Slice Through Time (dendrochronology and precision dating) by M. G. L. Baillie [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and corrected curves exist, based on combinations of American, Irish and German wood. A recent Radiocarbon article suggests there may be a consistent offset, with Irish oaks providing dates which are 20-40 years younger. If there is a true geographical variation in 14C then this phenomenon has wider implications - for instance in the application of 14C in dating Egyptian artefacts etc., as anticipated by Long back in 1970 [7 ]. The link between volcanic eruptions and abnormally narrow growth rings in trees is detailed in Chapter 5. The story is well known to SIS members, beginning with Valmore LaMarche's bristlecone pine frost signature' for 1627 BC, a date replicated in the Irish oaks for ...
919. Magnetism and Axial Tilts [Books] [de Grazia books]
... disposal are available, it appears, besides reorientation of the global axis. One is led to suspect that non-colliding encounters involving heavy electrical differentials might more effectively produce axis tilting than would collisions. Lest the idea be considered quite fanciful, it should be recalled that several ancient sources refer seriously to a reversal of directions. Herodotus and Plato cite Egyptian sources of occasions when the Sun changed directions and arose in the West instead of the East. A ceiling in the tomb of Senmut of Egypt also pictures a reversed sky tableau such as would occur were the Earth turned upside down. In fifteen spectacular pages[10] Velikovsky searches out and orders rationally other indications in legends and writing ...
920. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... gifts from God, the land of Israel, the future world, the new world, the sovereignty of David, the institution of priests, and of Levites." When Jethro heard all this, he determined to become a Jew and to believe in the only God, and although he felt a pang at heart upon hearing that the Egyptians had perished - for no one should scoff at a heathen before a proselyte who is not a Jew of ten generation's standing - still he burst into a song of praise to God for the deeds He had one for His people. In truth, it reflects shame upon Moses and the sixty myriads of Jews that they had not given ...
