... . Great temples were erected to the planetary deities. The Parthenon was built to honour Athene. In Athens, a few columns of the temple to Zeus are still standing. Temples were erected to Jupiter in Baalbek, and to Amon (Jupiter) in Karnak. The worship and sacrifices to the various deities of the past have the same genesis, as do the establishment of priesthoods and priestly rituals, many of which are still used. Even in the Christian era, temple architecture has memorialized these events. The Gothic buildings of the Middle Ages refer to unconscious catastrophic memories and to lingering mnemes of terrifying apparitions exemplified by the dreadful figures of Notre Dame. The greatest feat of ...
652. Cyrus The Mardian/amardian Dethroner Of The -6th Century Medes And Aziru The Martu/amurru (Amorite) Dethroner Of The -14th Century Mitanni [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Greeks to the -8th century. This is what the Bible has to tell us about mankind's first world leader: "Nimrod: He began to be a mighty one on the Earth. / And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech (Uruk), and Akkad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar" (Genesis 10: -8/10). This is what Greek historiography (Ctesias) has to tell us about Ninos: "The first about whom history provides us with stories on his outstanding deeds is Ninos, king of the Assyrians. / Easily he defeated the inhabitants of Babylonia. / Eventually, he began to subdue the nations of ...
653. Darwin's Dangerous Idea: A Critique [Journals] [Aeon]
... if catalysis is aided and abetted by increases in pressure. And, it was also speculated in the pages of AEON and elsewhere that Earth had experienced a more massive atmospheric overburden in its geologic past, to where such extraordinary chemical reactions could have taken place, and where enormous atmospheric pressure was instrumental in initiating one, or even several, genesis events. [20] These ideas might be classed as skyhooks or "hopeful monsters" to describe, in limited terms, the origin of life and its development where, in Dennett's library concept, they may merely represent another "indefinity" aisle of probable books (though perhaps, in his context, improbable volumes) on the ...
654. Foreword to Recollections of a Fallen Sky [Books]
... at a reasonable price. For me it has been a privilege to work with the authors preparing this volume. Several of them have extended much appreciated personal courtesy, warm hospitality and stimulating discussion during my visits to their homes and institutions both with respect to the revision of their papers and in the wider pursuit of our mutual interest in revolutionary genesis. I want to recognize the debt I owe to Philip Connolly for the wise counsel he has rendered concerning decisions I had to make on the format and contents of this volume. His critical remarks on the editing have assisted me greatly. Lastly, but with special emphasis, I must thank my secretary Mrs. Elly Boumans who persevered ...
... detail (in the finest of Western scholarship), he not only uses Western methods to illuminate his truths. He uses Western sources to prove his case! His work reinterprets our own canons of knowledge, the whole Hebraic heritage and the very precepts of the scientific tradition. These are the building stones of his new cosmology. From the genesis of Judaism, with the flight out of Egypt during catastrophic circumstances, to the frontiers of modern physics, his theory is revealed. Better than affirming the possibility of catastrophe, Velikovsky has provided an argument in Western terms for a catastrophic cosmology. This symposium is in fact a celebration of the acceptance of the legitimacy of Velikovsky's work. ...
656. Ebla Reconsidered [Journals] [SIS Review]
... p . 113), it was probably the work of human agents. This marked the end of Ebla as a great urban centre. There was only sporadic occupation in later periods. Some readers of Matthiae's book will be disappointed to find no discussion of the much-reported references to Sodom and Gomorrah and the other cities of the plain mentioned in Genesis 14. The reason for this is that no such references exist [4 ]. The alleged references to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Bela were first reported by G. Pettinato, the original epigrapher for Matthiae's team, in 1976. Prof. D. N. Freedman, editor of Biblical Archaeologist, subsequently reported, ...
657. Challenges to Evolutionary Gradualism [Books]
... , putting science before religious dogma; in consequence, both groups came under criticism from biblical fundamentalists. Catastrophists and uniformitarians alike believed that God had created the laws of nature, and was now letting them operate without interference. It is true that some major catastrophists tried hard to reconcile the evidence of the fossil record with the story told in Genesis, but where there was clear conflict they accepted the scientific evidence. It is also true that the catastrophists, having rejected the concept of evolution on grounds that were explicitly scientific, allowed for the possibility that new species had been created at the start of each new geological period. However, if that can be used as a reason ...

659. Saturn's Cosmos [Books]
... before Re," reads the Book of the Dead. (53) I have come forth between the thighs of the company of the gods." (54) What the Book of the Dead calls "divine beings of the Thigh" (55) means the celestial assembly, the secondary gods who collectively form the womb of cosmic genesis. But the interrelated symbolism does not stop here. Every Egyptian priest knew that the mother goddess was the revolving egg housing the central sun. Indeed, the hieroglyphic image of an egg at the end of the divine name means "goddess." Of Osiris the goddess Isis declares: "His seed is within my womb, I ...
660. Mythic Mountains by Isaac Vail [Books]
... confronted with the fact that all the visible glory so often seen and so prominently made a visible feature in sacred history must be now considered in connection with the world-mountain, which would never have been heard of save as a canopy memorial. It is interesting to note how very far back in Hebrew thought this polar feature is found. In Genesis 10:30 mention is made of Mount Sephar, a mountain in Kedem (the first land) which the translators have rendered "east" but which I must insist should have been rendered the "ancient", the same as archaic. The name Sephar is associated with Ophir, Havilah, and Joktan, all prominently north and ...
