... Zeus, which is to be interpreted as a description of the fact that Venus was expelled from Jupiter. Could the red spot mean that Zeus is pregnant again? H. Ragnar Forshufvud Backa, Sweden When Was the Horse Introduced Into Egypt?To The Editor In a reading of the Old Testament, one is struck by the phrase in Genesis XLI, 43, "and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had," referring to Joseph after Pharaoh had appointed him second in leadership throughout all Egypt. Most authorities agree, I believe, with my reference (The Pentateuch and Haftorahs, edited by Dr. J. H. Hertz, Soncino Press ...
472. The Case for Catastrophe in Historical Times [Journals] [Kronos]
... (31) he has to account for the persistence of the tradition in such a vivid form for several thousand years. Moreover, traditions of fire from heaven are (like those of blood throughout the land) to be found worldwide.(32) One reasonably early parallel tradition is, of course, the Sodom and Gomorrah story of Genesis 19. Could the fire rained down by Inanna have come from the skies? Well, there is nothing in what Enheduanna wrote which is in conflict with such a conclusion, and there is actually much that lends it support. She describes her goddess as being winged, and as flying about; thus Hallo and van Dijk: 17 ...

474. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... indoctrinated in any particular religious theory, belief or opinion, I was very surprised to be accused of "paying lip-service to the sacredness of the Biblical text". My original interest in Velikovsky derived from a footnote in a book by Robert Charroux in which Worlds in Collision was mentioned. The theme of the book was that the book of Genesis was really about a new world being formed from the remains of an earlier destroyed one. Subsequently I read Merlin Stone's eye-opener The Paradise Papers . She denounces the idea that monotheism suddenly arose out of a vacuum, stating that it imposed itself only after a thousand and more years of cruel, bloody and merciless extinction of whole populations. ...
475. Quantalism: the Big Picture [Articles]
... cringing or otherwise exhibiting a "hang-dog" attitude. The chief reason why some comparative psychologists deny the pathology of this behavior is that human conscience is widely regarded as an asset and human loyalty as a virtue. But I concur with Arthur Koestler and others in seeing voluntary self- subordination to group authority as the indispensable enabling factor in the genesis of wars and other forms of punitive destruction. One of the most distinctive traits of our anxious and trammatized species is deceptiveness, which, not surprisingly, is most commonly expressed as prevarication. Since other species do not verbalize, their deceptions naturally take other forms. Although mammals exhibit no close analog of the "broken-wing ploy" by ...
476. The Military Strategy of Sheshonq/Shishak in Palestine [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the two kingdoms. In this way he established himself in a divide-and-conquer position in case Judah decided to come to the aid of the northern kingdom later. Three of the next four names on this line are legible but only one of them, Mahanaim (no. 22), is identifiable. If this is indeed the Transjordanian Mahanaim (Genesis 32:2 , Joshua 13:26, etc.) then Sheshonq probably travelled down to the Jordan Valley eastwards from Gibeon and then turned north. In this way he would have cut across the whole of the northern boundary of Judah and the southern boundary of Israel. The name Mahanaim, which means two camps', is ...
477. The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky [Articles]
... read into an ancient law, upon which basis ever more questions might be raised and solved." Therefore, the talmudists developed an ahistorical method of textual exegesis through which they could examine one scriptural passage in the light of some other passage or even noncanonical exegesis. A famous instance of this is in the commentary of the Midrash Rabbah on Genesis 1:1 [Freedman and Simon 1939], which interprets the words-In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth-on the basis of Proverbs 8:30-Then I was by Him, as a nursling [amon]; and I was daily all delight-in order to justify the theological concept of Torah as an eternal blueprint for all existence ...
478. Earth Tectonics Viewed from Rock Mechanics [Journals] [SIS Review]
... EGRR required only about 6 to 8 hours to encircle the Earth. The above dates of continental drift (based on the non-equilibrium radiocarbon method) and EGRR actually coincide with historical events (which, unfortunately, are considered by many to be mythical rather than historical). These are the Noachian Deluge and the great earthquakes of 34 AD. Genesis 7:11 and 10:25 records Pangaea's rupture, and Matthew 27:45-52 that of EGRR. The latter is confirmed by American Indian legend and history (III Nephi 8:5 to 10:25). How long it took for continental drift may also be a matter of Bible history: the waters of the Flood ...

... plot is a screen for historical events of the early seventh century. Almost certainly "love triangles" were observed and caused trouble for millennia before Homer. For that matter, walruses and apes snorted and grunted their way through similar affairs. Adultery found itself condemned under laws that were promulgated before Homeric times; Deuteronomy bans it, and also Genesis. Depending upon the culture, the emotions evoked by such triangles might be no less than the outrage of Hephaestus. The fearfulness of earlier catastrophes may have helped to build up the emotions. So the preconditions of the particular plot-the triangle and the emotional charge-were known and diffused. In order to nullify the theory, however, the structure ...
480. Maturation of Newborn Female Rats Under Elevated Levels of Carbon Dioxide [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Thus funds were limited and even more so, time was limited. What type of experiment might address the hypothesis, given these constraints and parameters? Gigantism has long been noted in the fossil record on both an interspecies basis and an intercontinental basis.6 Longevity is seen in ancient records of mankind.7 ,8 A careful reading of Genesis and Job reveals indications of delayed sexual and skeletal maturation as well; indeed, they are believed to be why fossil animals are usually larger than contemporary ones- in mammals they measure linearly 20 to 40 percent larger in overall size. An experiment on chickens (with a lifespan of 4 to 5 years) from hatching to normal death ...
