... to us from classical sources and Josephus as a 9th century ruler of Tyre. (It should be noted, however, as a matter of priority, that this suggestion was first made by Donovan Courville.)(1 ) Although the phonetic change from Abimilki to Pygmalion is unlikely, (2 ) Feldman made the novel suggestion that the Greek form Pygmalion might be a punning at the expense of Abimilki, from [Greek text] - "dwarf". Feldman agreed, on the other hand, that this alone was not enough to prove the identity of Abimilki and Pygmalion, but held that an "examination of the el-Amarna correspondence, in conjunction with the known historical events ...
482. The Dragon in Myth and Folklore [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... .. a pageant went on in the sky which presented itself to the horrified onlookers on earth as a gigantic battle".(1 ) This pageant is enshrined elsewhere in the world in descriptions of such epic battles as those between Isis and Seth (Egyptian mythology), Vishnu and the serpent (Hindu), Zeus and Typhon (Greek), Anat and Lotan (Ugaritic), the Storm-god and Illuyankas (Hittite), and Ormuzd and Ahriman (Zoroastrian). In all these accounts, the details parallel each other. Velikovsky identifies the conflict between the light-bearing hero and the multi-headed, fire-scattering serpent or dragon as the celestial drama when the proto-planet Venus was in catastrophic ...
483. Sothic Dating Redux (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... " would "certainly" show; he is not at the moment speaking about the testimony of the Canopus Decree itself, which he reads as saying that prt Spdt had indeed already occurred in Year 9. That reading is still another error on Parker's part. He says that "one has but to read any of the three texts- Greek, Demotic, or hieroglyphic- to learn that the festival had already been celebrated in Year 9". It is quite likely, as I stated earlier, that the festival had indeed already been celebrated in Year 9. But the three texts are not clear on this. All that they tell us is that, in the future ...
484. Phobos And Deimos [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 3 No 4 (1997) Home | Issue Contents Phobos And Deimos Lynn E. Rose In KRONOS VII:2 (Winter, 1982), page 62, I wrote as follows: "The Greeks had several words for fear, the sensation of fear. The expression or manifestation of fear was the panic flight from the feared object. This distinction is of at least Homeric vintage. The two basic kinds of fear were early personified as Phobos and Deimos, the monstrous offspring [some would say attendants] of Ares (Mars), and in the nineteenth century these very names were given to the newly discovered (or rediscovered) satellites ...
485. The Reality of Extinctions [Journals] [Aeon]
... pyramid of Cheops that the others tend to be overlooked. The pyramid of Cheops is, in fact, the only one which lines up so well with the cardinal points. Other major pyramids, both pre- and post-dating it, are out by as much as nine degrees. Then we have later evidence. Latitude fixes made by the Greek astronomer Hipparchus, around 130 B. C., are "out" by four or five degrees. Almost half the extant sundials, from 300 B. C. to 300 A. D., are in wrong latitudes today. (6 ) And we have records of ancient eclipses, numerous first hand accounts of total solar ...

487. Some observations from Jesse Lasken concerning the 'new chronology' [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... here and which have only partially been published, the evidence is overwhelming that what is now classed as New Kingdom' is all, or nearly all, Ptolemaic. Under my revised chronology, Horemheb, whom New Kingdom' records show to have been a general, vizier, and then king of Egypt, was Ptolemy I Soter, whom Greek historians and Ptolemaic records show to have been a general of Alexander the Great, the vizier of Egypt beginning in 324/323 BC and its king from 305 BC until 283 or 282 BC [3 ]. Horemheb' is but one of a variety of Egyptian names that were given to Ptolemy. The 59 year date, of ...
488. Herakles and Velikovskian Catastrophism [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History II:2 (Jun 1980) Home | Issue Contents Herakles and Velikovskian Catastrophism Arie Dirkzwager During one of his travels the Greek Herakles (Hercules) met Busiris, an Egyptian king, who used to put strangers to death on sacrificial pyres. Thanks to his enormous strength Herakles managed to strangle the pharaoh and escape. Busiris is said to have been a grandson of Epaphus.1 Considering possible identifications for Epaphus we find, of course, Apop. Now there were two or three Hyksos kings of that name, as we know from the works of Velikovsky and others. One must have reigned at the beginning of the Hyksos period and one ...
489. The Argive Tyrants, Part 2 Mars Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Argive Tyrants In Ages in Chaos I shall present proof that the large, raw stone structures of Mycenae and Tiryns on the Argive plain in Greece are the ruins of the palaces of the Argive tyrants, well remembered by the Greeks of subsequent centuries, and date from the eighth century before the present era. If the material remains of the palaces of Mycenae and Tiryns are ascribed to the second millennium, then nothing has been found on the Argive plain that can be ascribed to the Argive tyrants, although they are known to have built spacious palaces. Thyestes and his brother Atreus ...

... by his son (Smenkh-Ka-Re), the burial of this son without honour, his brother (Tutankhamen) supplanting him, dying, and being buried in splendour. These similarities indicate that it was a true Egyptian story which was taken to Greece. The transfer is itself in turn confirmed by its later history. It was attached by the Greeks to their city which was founded, they said, by an immigrant prince who gave it the same name the Greeks gave to the Egyptian capital, the name of Thebes. This story, passed on by word of mouth like other Greek myths, became after five centuries the most tragic of them all. The process as a whole ...
