383. Forums [Journals] [SIS Review]
... This would have occurred in the time of Enosh, son of Seth and grandson of Adam - seven generations before Noah. The name Enosh means "sickly", which was explained by Ginzberg (1 ) "mankind became ill in his time". The nature of the ill that overtook mankind? Idolatry. This is borne out by Genesis 4:26: "And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD." The Jewish legends interpret this quite distinctly as the beginning of idolatry (2 ) If they were the first idolaters, then we may ...
384. Could an Explosive Volcanic Eruption be Produced by the Nearby Passage of a Cosmic Body? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... found in Psalm 114:1-7: The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. ' This suggests a seismic disturbance rather than conversion of elevated heights to volcanoes. When interpreting poetic descriptions of natural cataclysms it is often assumed that established rock strata can suddenly be raised by subterranean pressures to become volcanoes (see below: Genesis of a volcano'), but this is geologically impossible. Volcanoes Every material body seeks equilibrium, externally and internally. In consequence, the material comprising the interior of even a solid' planet will flow like a fluid given sufficient time. As gas, dust, debris, and meteors of stone and iron composition came together to ...
385. Magi, The Quest for a Secret Tradition by Adrian Gilbert [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and Harran, where Abraham first settled, so perhaps his family were migrating Hurrians. The names of the people are Hurrian and Harran the city and Haran (Abraham's brother) are linguistically cognate. Gilbert speculates about the locality of the garden of Eden, which could have been the plateau dominated by Mount Ararat. The four rivers mentioned in Genesis II (Pishon, Gihon, Tigris and Euphrates) would have been its boundaries. The Pishon, meaning free-flowing', would have been the turbulent Arax and not the Nile. The Gihon, meaning stream' the Halys, not the Ganges or Yangtse. Adrian Gilbert's tale of the Magi and Jesus may be far-fetched but it is ...
386. Moderating the Middle Ages [Journals] [SIS Review]
... lengthened to increase ecclesiastical, especially papal, venerability. Millenarianism was common in popular Judaism of the first century BC/AD, as well as the idea that Judgement Day would come 6,000 years after Creation. Authors of the Septuagint Bible therefore increased the age at which each of the patriarchs begat his son in the genealogies of early Genesis by 100 years, with the highest of motives: prompted by wishful thinking, pushing back the date of Creation would bring Judgement Day that much closer. Events portrayed in both Old and New Testaments are both treated by Fomenko as more repetitions of medieval incidents: the entire Bible is presented as a Middle age composition, presumably by monks ...
387. SIS Study Group Meeting 16th October 1999 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that Rohl did not, when discussing the Biblical evidence, recognise that both the Bible and Jewish legends place Abraham's descent into Egypt from Mesopotamia at the time of the first Pharaoh. These sources claim it was they who taught the Egyptians the basics of writing, architecture, the use of cylinder seal, etc. In his book, The Genesis of Israel and Egypt, he had already connected Abraham's migration into Egypt with the clear Mesopotamian influences which Petrie noted for Dynasty I. Petrie found cylinder seals in Egypt, which they invented in Mesopotamia. The tomb architecture of the mastabas is clearly based on Sumerian originals. The iconography of the Narmer Palette shows a pair of animals with ...
388. Black Sea Flood [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Hercules. The Argo was a collection of stars on the southern horizon variously associated with the Sumerian Annunaki, or the 50 daughters of Egyptus. The number 50 is an arbitrary figure for over 600 actual stars. In Egypt the constellation was heralded by Sirius the Dog Star barking a warning against an approaching intruder. In 1883 Gerald Massey's Natural Genesis attempted to demonstrate the Noah flood story was written and preserved in the stars. Massey used Egyptian mythology to support his theory. What is interesting about McHugh's work is that by 700BC precessional change had affected the visibility of the outline of the ark or boat in the sky. The ark then became identified with the constellation of Pegasus, ...
389. When the Gods Came Down by Alan F. Alford (Reviewed) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of lines such as prepare yourself, dear reader, for a series of remarkable revelations' (p . 192) but it does contain some interesting analysis and detail along the way about ancient references to meteorites and suggestions that these might have brought life to Earth (although sadly little detail is given about how this might have occurred). Genesis, Exodus, Satan, Leviathan and Eden are analysed and discussed. He sees Moses, Abraham, Noah and Adam all representing exploding and falling celestial bodies' [287]. There is also some interesting analysis of how some features of the New Testament stories about Jesus Christ seem to be based on earlier stories from the Old Testament ...

... ' title) was published in 1995 by Gateway Books of Bath. Bear & Co. published an American edition, retitled Cataclysm, in 1997. Both editions enjoyed considerable success. This was the first of a projected trilogy, the second tracing the cosmic source of the physical disturbances sustained by Earth in late Pleistocene times and the third the genesis of the singular Arctic' cartography that initiated Derek's researches. The second is currently in preparation and the third all but complete. Derek spent time devising a method of filming images depicting the interaction of the agencies responsible for these upheavals but costs were prohibitive. With today's technology, the result might have been different. A final move to ...
