412. The Pyramid Age, by Emmet J Sweeney (Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of dynastic Egypt, as one and the same. Joseph is identified as Imhotep, the wise vizier of Pharaoh Djoser of Dynasty 3. He claims the Exodus occurred during a second catastrophic era, which ended the Early Dynastic period at the end of the 3rd Dynasty. He finds no convincing evidence for the conventional three separate Intermediate Periods in Egyptian history and merges these into one. He dates Djoser from Khnumibre's genealogy to circa 930BC and refers to the pyramid builders of the 4th Dynasty as no more than lords of the Delta'. In summary, his revision starts with a catastrophic destruction around 1300-1200BC. Then comes a brief pre-dynastic epoch followed by a further destruction episode around 1050-1000BC ...
413. Introduction to Ramessides, Medes and Persians [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... initiated the reconstruction of ancient history, but which left the task half-completed and the reader, as it were, dangling in mid-air. On the other hand, the work is intended to demonstrate how Gunnar Heinsohn's radically shortened chronology can be applied to the details of ancient Near Eastern history. In Ages in Chaos Velikovsky unveiled a detailed synchronisation of Egyptian and Hebrew histories from the Exodus to the time of kings Ahab and Jehosaphat, whom he revealed to be contemporaries of the heretic pharaoh Akhnaton. Velikovsky thus made the early Monarchy of Israel contemporary with Egypt's glorious 18th Dynasty, and the wonderful picture he painted brought both the Egyptian and Hebrew histories to life in what can only be described ...
414. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... of day [Morning Star], beautiful day." [4 ] This, again, looks like a reference to our day, for that is when planting and sowing is done, an interpretation that also fits with the historical period in which the document was (presumably) written. Finally Cochrane supplies a quotation from the much older Egyptian Coffin Texts (3rd millennium BCE): "To become the Morning Star. The paths of the Netherworld are opened for N, the gates of those who are in the horizon are opened for her, the beautiful star (shd)...N is the Lone Star on the horizon, and her father Re has given ...
415. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Eye of Heaven [Books]
... supreme heavens-god-putting the sun out of court-is the only one that answers all requirements. It will be evident that here we have origins in abundance for the Freemason's Eye and its " nunquam dormio." A Chinese constellation is called " the Eye glyph of Heaven that judges the wicked." Glyph 10 The single and the dual ut'at Eye of Egyptian symbolism is of the utmost importance in the interpretation of the sacred lore of Egypt's past. The conclusion which I advance here is that the pair of these Eyes indicate the deities of the North and the South poles respectively (see " North and South " supra). The scarab with a green globe on his head is seen at ...
416. The Stream Surrounding the Earth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Babylonians and the Akkadians had the northeast as their polar orientation, possibly accommodating the orientation of the ring [24]. Egypt Egypt provides clear dating of relevant mythological material to the 2300 BC time period. I will start off with a statement by Anthes, a principal scholar in the field [25]: The basic concepts of Egyptian mythology were already established about 2200 BC, and the succeeding changes represented an increase in variations and combinations rather than alterations of the concepts'. He establishes this date by a reference to the appearance of this mythology in the Pyramid Texts between 2300 BC and 2200 BC [26] at the end of the Fifth Dynasty of the Old ...
417. Confessions Of A Philosophical Velikovskian [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... at length in Worlds in Collision, descriptions of catastrophes consisting of combustion or deluge18 are found among the Greeks, Hindus, Persians, Chinese, Incas, Aztecs, and Mayas.19 Still less would you expect the phenomena to be described in very similar terms; thus the reddening of the world and its waters is recorded by Mayas, Egyptians, Israelites, Greeks, Babylonians, Finns and Tartars20 a hail of stones by Israelites, Egyptians, Mexicans, and some Buddhist texts;21and darkness that lasted for a number of days-in Asia, it was prolonged daylight-as prelude to a mountainous tidal wave, by Israelites, Chinese, Peruvians, and the Choctaw Indians of Oklahoma.22 ...
418. Velikovsky and the Problem of Planetary Identification [Journals] [Aeon]
... whom Velikovsky identified with the planet Venus, rather than with the Moon as per the majority of classical writers. Here we must concur with Velikovsky's judgment, although one can only shudder at the thought of what course Velikovsky's work might have taken had he retained the lunar identification of Athena. Extrapolating from the Greek sources, Velikovsky identified the ancient Egyptian gods with the planetary regents of their Greek counterparts. Ra, accordingly, was identified with the sun; Thoth with Mercury; Hathor with Venus; and Horus with Jupiter. (3 ) The same strategy was also employed with regard to the pantheons of Mesopotamia and India. That there are problems with Velikovsky's approach to the ancient sources ...
419. Velikovsky's 360 days/year calendar [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... a number of different lengths of years for different ceremonial purposes. The 360 day year was no more significant than any other ceremonial year. From: Joe Canepa, canepa@mercury.interpath.net Date: 22 Apr 1996 05:19:30 GMT After the original post about the 360 day calender, several scholars commented about the Egyptians and Mayans used two calendars. These scholars however may not have looked carefully at the original post or at Velikovsky. Velikovsky listed not only the 360 day calendars of the Egyptians and the Mayans, but also those used in India, Persia Babylon, Assyria, Israel, Greece and Rome. (see chapter 10 Worlds in Collision) ...
420. Moses Pharaoh of Egypt - the mystery of Akhenaten resolved [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... have childhood connections with Goshen and the fact that Moses protested that he would have difficulty in communicating with the Israelites would make sense on the basis that his familiarity with the Hebrew tongue had become somewhat rusty during his time of ruling, first at Thebes with his father, Amenhotep III and then at Akhetaten. 3) Adonith, Moses' Egyptian queen and wife is clearly linked with Aten-it which is derived from the Egyptian god Aten and the Israelite God Adonai. 4) In Egyptian memory Moses is remembered as Osarseph, a priest of Heliopolis, which also forms a link with vizier Joseph. 5) Manetho identified the reign of Amenhotep III during the time of the son of ...
