... product of the subconscious mind as Freud thought? Was he a mythological figure? Or was he a real, historical person? Such questions have provoked interest among historians and authors for centuries. In OEDIPUS AND AKHNATON, Immanuel Velikovsky identifies the scene and all the personages of the Greek Oedipus legend with the life patterns of the family of the Egyptian King Akhnaton, reputedly the first monotheist during the most famous period of Egyptian history. As a feat in unraveling myth, lore, and fact, Immanuel Velikovsky's startling new approach can be likened to the evidence of Schliemann's discovery of Troy, of the discovery of the Minoan civilization, or of the deciphering of Mycenaean. The legend of ...
982. Fenris-Wolf, Part 2 Mars Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Fenris-Wolf In the Babylonian astrological texts it is said that "a star takes the shape of divers animals: lion, jackal, dog, pig, fish."1 This, in our opinion, explains the worship of animals by ancient peoples, notably the Egyptians. The planet Mars, its atmosphere distorted by its approaches to other celestial bodies- Venus, earth, moon- took on different shapes. The Mexicans narrated that Huitzilopochtli, the bellicose destroyer of cities, took the form of various birds and beasts.2 On one occasion Mars very characteristically resembled a wolf or a jackal. In ...
983. End. Part 2 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... by the old regent, the relative who, during the entire period, had been scheming toward this end; the role of the oracle to which human sacrifices were made, and the equally prominent role of an old blind seer-all these elements are found both in the Greek drama about what happened in the seven-gated Thebes in Boeotia and in the Egyptian history of what took place in the hundred-gated Thebes on the Nile. Single parallels between two sets of events can also be found in situations of recorded history far apart in time. Thus, Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church as Akhnaton broke with the cult of Amon, in order to contract a forbidden marriage, and established his ...

... with specific reference to the magic associated with knots and bands. (8 ) The Norse seidr, the most common term for magic amongst our Northern forebears, is acknowledged to trace to a stem meaning "band" or "fetter", with particular reference to magical knots. (9 ) The most common term for magic in the Egyptian Pyramid Texts was heka, signifying "to utter charms, or spells, or incantations," yet the same word is found elsewhere with the meaning of band or crown (hekau). (10) And in these earliest of religious texts, according to Mercer, the typical means of working magic was through the agency of tying ...

... where they were discovered. The first Amarna tablets were found by local inhabitants in 1887. They form the majority of the corpus. Subsequent excavations at the site have yielded less than 50 out of the 382 itemized tablets and fragments which form the Amarna corpus. The majority of the Amarna tablets are letters. These letters were sent to the Egyptian Pharaohs Amenophis III and his son Akhenaten around the middle of the 14th century B.C . The correspondents were kings of Babylonia, Assyria, Hatti and Mitanni, minor kings and rulers of the Near East at that time, and vassals of the Egyptian Empire. Almost immediately following their discovery, the Amarna tablets were deciphered, studied ...

... dates). His alarming conclusion is that they show that the Solar System has been stable since their construction, which is used to justify Harlow Shapley's decision "to prevent by all possible means the spread of Velikovsky's ideas until such time as admissible evidence on the subject might be presented". Amongst Wilson's assumptions is the notion that the ancient Egyptians had access to an accurate value for the velocity of light; also that the pyramids of the Giza complex represent the planets Mercury, Venus and Earth (he takes the areas of the pyramid bases to be in relation to the volumes of these planets). Johnson's refutation indicates that Wilson's values for both the bases of the pyramids and ...
987. Amenhotep III and Tiy. Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... of public buildings: for instance, in Palestine, in the foundation of the temple at Beth Shemesh. In Mycenae, where Schliemann dug in search of the tomb of Agamemnon, a small Tiy scarab was found. Amenhotep's royal decrees were published in his name and in that of his queen, a procedure that bad no precedent in the Egyptian past. Tiy's portraits are numerous, in sculpture and low relief. They disclose a determined face, not without charm. From her start as a daughter of commoners, Tiy made for herself an unusual career. She also raised her parents to an exalted position, and when they died they were very well mummified and buried in the ...

... us New Scientist 19.3 .94, p. 17 Statistical analysis of DNA of Basque people confirms archaeological evidence that they have been a distinct population for at least 18,000 years. They speak a language unrelated to any other spoken today and probably became isolated in the Pyrenean mountains at the peak of the last Ice Age. Egyptian prehistory The Times Literary Supplement 22.10.93, p. 27 Recent discoveries indicate that the period before the First Dynasty was just as culturally rich as the later historic' period. So if Menes is supposed to have been the first king, who united north and south Egypt, then he is earlier than previously thought. ...

990. A PERSONAL MEMOIR [Journals] [Aeon]
... history), a claim Einstein found untenable. Velikovsky had gone so far as to rest his case on this advanced claim. So unexpected was the news in the Times that Einstein asked Velikovsky how he could be of assistance. Velikovsky, no doubt, surprised him by asking that he use his influence to have radiocarbon tests done on some Egyptian objects of antiquity. Thus it was that Einstein agreed to write a letter requesting the aforementioned test. When I again wrote the museum I sent a copy of the letter Velikovsky had provided me. I then received a lengthy reply explaining that they had indeed received that letter but their certainty of accepted Egyptian dating did not warrant the expense ...
