... by the Tabalians (Bib.: Thubal)(7 ) who first appear after the supposed fall of the Hittites as a vassal of Assyria. Pushed out of their lands, apparently by the Cimmerian invasion (c . 687 B.C .) , the Mushkians and the Tabalians slowly migrated eastward toward the Black Sea coast where the Greeks were to know them as the Moskhoi and the Tibarenoi.(8 ) Eventually both of these people settled in what is now Georgia. In place of the state of Tabal there then arose in Cappadocia a new formation of presumably Phrygian origin called Til-garimmu in Assyrian (Bib.: Thogorma), and Tegarama by the "Hittites" ...
522. Comets, Polular Culture, and the Birth of Modern Cosmology [Journals] [Aeon]
... Princeton, 1997) Reviewed by Ev Cochrane Few things in life are as memorable and charged with unconscious emotion as the appearance of a brilliant comet. From time immemorial, comets have inspired dread and been associated with ominous portents. Ancient Babylonian astronomical texts link comets to the death of kings and other calamities. Similar views were common among the Greeks and Romans. Of a comet that appeared during Nero's reign, Tacitus wrote as follows: "A comet blazed into view- in the opinion of the crowd, an apparition boding change to monarchies. Hence, as though Nero were already dethroned, men began to inquire on whom the next choice should fall." [8 ] ...

ELECTROMAGNETISM Into the Unknown New Scientist 3.11.01, pp. 30-34, Metro 11.2 .01 The ancient Greeks thought space was filled with a substance called the plenum. Ether was still around in the 19th century but the 20th century declared space was a void. Now quantum physicists suggest it is filled with quantum ether'. There are certainly inexplicable forces out there; Pioneers 10 and 11 are now at the edge of the Solar System but ...

... causes much destruction; the Earth trembles, the hills are cloven, the stars fall; the minds and morals of men are corrupted during its reign. Sometimes two dragons are mentioned. So in Mordecai's dream, quoted in the Additions to the Book of Esther vi. 3 and 5, which are inserted before Esther i. in the Greek translation: There was noise and turmoil, thunder, earthquake, and terror on Earth. And, lo, two great dragons appeared, either ready to give battle, and they made a great noise... . It was a day of darkness and of gloom, of trouble, oppression, distress, and terror on Earth ...
525. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Four [Books]
... . Nor did he think that anything of this sort took place in the days of Joshua or even of Isaiah. He thought that the Book of Genesis comprised the story of how fire and water wrought great destruction of what is on the earth, ' and that the destruction by fire, about which he knew from the teachings of the Greek philosophers, was identical with the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah." Even bearing in mind the hypothesis of collective amnesia, I still find it very curious that if Philo knew a thing or two about destructions by fire and by water, then he should give as examples the Flood of Noah and the downfall of Sodom and Gomorrah, ...
526. Saturn's Cosmos [Books]
... literally, the khut (written with the sign ) is the "Mount of Glory." The circle of the khu or khut was the "glory," "halo," "nimbus," or "aureole" of the creator- what the Hebrews called the Shekinah (the encircling "glory" of God) and the Greeks stephanos (circle or crown of "glory"). Indeed, every figure of the creator stands within the luminous ring, always considered as his own emanation. The band is not only the god's "halo," but his dwelling at the cosmic centre. (12) "In diagrams of the Cosmos" observes J. ...
527. Velikovsky's Martian Catastrophes [Journals] [Aeon]
... veneration of Martian deities which, he informed us, only gained prominence during the 8th and 7th centuries B.C . He thus stressed the Martian legends associated with Romulus and the founding of Rome, (9 ) concerning which he stated: Only one god of Roman mythology plays a role not comparable to that attributed to him on the Greek Olympus. It is the god Mars, whose counterpart is Ares of the Greeks. (10) This, however, is a matter of opinion. To most mythologists, the Greek Ares is just as prominent in mythology as is the Roman Mars. In fact, if one had to judge by the number of myths attributed to ...
528. Chapter 17 Corroboration, Convergence, Analysis [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... historical assumption that that settlement gap was real, destroy the very foundation of established chronology. At the very least, it requires that Mesopotamian history be shortened by 700 to 800 years, bringing the bulk of that history into the late second and first millennium. However, when we remove the additional 500- to 600-year Dark Ages of the Greeks and the Hittites, that requires that Mesopotamian history must be placed predominantly in the first millennium B.C ., at least, insofar as it correlates with Hittite, really Lydian, history. And see how closely Tell Munbaqa and the 500- to 600-year Dark Age match the 1477-year lowering of Egyptian history from Astronomy proved by Rose ...
529. Response to Critique by Leroy Ellenberger [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the perihelion of Venus to this last exit position, the position of the final Venusian catastrophe. Perhaps this placement is due to reasons more insightful than the uniformitarian idea of "just by chance." Perhaps Mars was a celestial manipulator. Reason seven comes not from solar-system geography or dynamics but from ancient literature, that of the Hebrews and Greeks. Isaiah was living during the final decade of the eighth century B.C . and he reported what he saw (see Isaiah 37:36, II Kings 19:35, II Chronicles 32:21). Isaiah witnessed and reported the last of a long series of recorded assaults by the destructive "Angel of the Lord ...

... of stone blocks, the smallest of which is a little under two tons. Its massive foundation rests on and is embedded in bedrock, and the four sides are aligned almost perfectly with the cardinal points. A narrow inclined passageway built into the North quadrant is generally assumed to have aimed at the celestial pole and, according to one ancient Greek historian, the dimensions of the pyramid were related to its latitude. According to another, there once were inscriptions on its surface. Though its gold-covered capstone is missing, we still can imagine the brilliant beacon created when it reflected the Sun. Not far away the step-pyramid of Zoser, the oldest known, stands its own vigil against ...
