... A.D ., Sirius was said to be red by every writer who wrote about the matter."(14) Brecher provides a table of specific references to back up this claim: "Ancient references to the color of Sirius [abound] . Explicit namings of red span a millennium, from a Babylonian cuneiform text to the Greek astronomer Ptolemy. All seem agreed that the Dog Star is red, but this is distressing, for the star is blue-white today, and modern theories of stellar evolution cannot account for it being a different color in historical times."(15) SIRIUS AS DOG Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, and Venus, the ...
492. The Earliest Arrival of Celts in the British Isles [Journals] [Kronos]
... fragmentation, however, is thought to have consisted not of a single ethnolinguistic explosion but rather of a series of splits, most of them binary in nature. The first split is believed to have occurred between the Anatolian language (ancestral to Hittite and Luwian), in and near modern Turkey, and the North Pontic language (ancestral to Greek and Sanskrit), in and around the modern Ukraine.(6 ) The second split is believed to have occurred between the Kentum language (ancestral to Tocharian and Germanic), in or near the Danubian basin, and the Satem language (ancestral to Balto-Slavic and Indo-Iranian), in or near Turkestan.(7 ) A third ...
... it is completely out-of-date', we just drop it." That this attitude exists was reaffirmed by David Wilson in The New Archaeology. Therefore, do not be surprised when someone informs you that carbon dating supports the conventional chronology. It should, because it has been adjusted to do exactly that. AN "IDEAL" SAMPLE AND THE GREEK "DARK AGE"It has been noted that Velikovsky mentioned the problems associated with carbon dating debris from logs, and suggested that short-lived items would give more accurate results. This has also been discussed in the literature by Dr. Ralph and others. In the area of Pylos is a sample of the type considered made for carbon dating ...
494. Donnelly (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... presented us with a Danaian gift, one that is as beautiful as it is dangerous. It is beautiful, because the myth allows us a glimpse into a distant and different world; dangerous, because it requires interpretation: and for real interpretation a basis has been lacking up till now. Atlantis seems to have been mentioned once only in Greek literature before Plato, and only in passing. In his Commentary on Plato's Timaeus the philosopher Proclus says that the historian Marcellus wrote in his History of Ethiopia, which is now lost, that `the inhabitants of several islands in the Atlantic Ocean preserved a tradition from their ancestors of the prodigiously great island of Atlantis which was sacred to ...
495. Saturn's Sacred Mountain [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . While, in these instances, man imbued the Mountain itself with a divine nature, it was the god it held aloft that received by far the most wide-spread veneration. Like other die-hard Velikovskians, Seitz continues to accept Velikovsky's postulate that the planet Venus was ejected from Jupiter. [18] Velikovsky's main evidence for this came from the Greek myth of Athene's birth from the head of Zeus. Other mythological evidence supplied by Velikovsky to support this tenet has already been discounted. [19] The myth of Athene's birth is also contested by alternative Greek beliefs which make of Athene a child of Saturn. [20] It is this latter that complies with universal lore which, ...
496. A RENAISSANCE SATURN [Journals] [Aeon]
... coins, underscored their status within the illusionistic framework of the camera as recovered fragments of the classical world, i.e ., actual pieces of antiquity. Despite the profound transformations in both the iconography of art and art-making prompted by the advent of Christianity and its inexorable spread throughout Europe during the Middle Ages, the ancient deities of the Greeks and Romans endured. In a variety of forms, whether due to their astronomical significance or astrological import or in the guise of moralizing allegories, figures from Greco-Roman mythology maintained a hold on human imagination. (3 ) During the Renaissance in Italy, as energetic generations of humanists renewed their relationships to their antique heritage through the exploration of ...
497. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 5 No 1 (1982) Home | Issue Contents Letters Venus, Vanir and the Benu Bird Dear Sir, Workshop Vol. 4, No. 2, September 81, has two letters on the Oera Linda Book, which is all Greek to me. But your editorial comment, paragraph 6, on the Vanir of Norse mythology which relates Vanir to Latin venire and suggests this is akin to "Venus", rang a few bells. Etymological roots are longer lasting than the hardest stone. The Egyptian Benu bird, Ba-i-Nau, from the hieroglyphic Ba- "a leg", shewn euphemistically from the knee down - meaning "leg it ...
498. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of Worlds in Collision can support the good half of The Cosmic Winter - well, it's worth a try. Dick Atkinson, South Shields, Tyne and Wear Black Athena Dear Sir, C&C Workshop 1992:2 reports Geoffrey Gammon's interesting talk on Martin Bernal's Black Athena (vols. 1 and 2). Bernal suggests that the Greek Athena is cognate with the Egyptian Neit (in reverse order). Neit was also associated with flood waters and organising the annual flood (Nile) via irrigation and he suggests that the drainage of the Early Bronze Greek central plain (Boiotia) represents evidence of Egyptian influence during the Old Kingdom period (although the main thrust of his ...
499. The Origin of the Devil (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... name of the Egyptian god Set is also etymologically connected with Satan.1The dragon never appears without noise; neither can the devil refrain from making a horrible din; the Hebrew word shet also means noise, turmoil of war, describing the part Satan played in the raging cataclysm. We are told that the word devil' comes from the Greek diabolos, and it is rendered as slanderer'; the real meaning, however, is the literal one, for the word is derived from the Greek diaballein, to throw over, to hurl violently, to fling or shoot: the slinger'. The devil threw stones over great distances, just as the dragon swept down stars ...

... mentions - as the home of Andromache - a city named Thebes, located near Mount Plakos to the south of Mount Ida, which had been founded by the Cilicians.(29) (In addition, there existed a Cilician Thebes,(30) and the name Eteocles has been compared to the late Cilician name (* !* Greek text: ToukLels). (31)) These Cilicians, whatever their ethnic character, may have brought the story to the western shore of Asia Minor - whence it was transferred to Boeotian Thebes - presumably at the time when the story of Niobe* (whose Anatolian origin is seldom disputed,(32) and who once is ...
