... century the planet Mars became a great and feared god, to whom many prayers were composed and hymns and invocations were sung and magic formulas were whispered. Such formulas are referred to as "magic words with raising the hand to the planet Nergal [Mars]." These prayers were addressed directly to the planet Mars.1 Like the Greek Ares, Nergal is called "king of battle, who brings the defeat, who brings the victory." Nergal could not be regarded as favouring the people of the Double Streams; on a most fateful night he inflicted a defeat on Sennacherib. Shine of horror, god Nergal, prince of battle, Thy face is glare, ...

Zdenek Kopal - The Solar System (Oxford University Press, 1973) In my published books, notwithstanding often repeated allegations, no physical law is ever abrogated or "temporarily suspended"; what I offered in them is primarily a reconstruction of events from the historical past. ...
543. Problems With The Morning Star [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the world[1 ]. However, he often appears to use the name Morning Star as a generic term and does not dwell over-much on the dual aspects of Venus as both Morning and Evening Stars. This duality has subsequently been discussed and its importance emphasised by others. Peter James has argued that Velikovsky was mistaken in his identification of Greek Aphrodite as the Moon, and that Aphrodite, as goddess of love, was in fact the Greek Evening Star while Athena was the warlike Morning Star aspect of Venus only[2 ]. James proves his point by recourse to the myths and symbols of the Eurasian civilisations of the Hittites, Babylonians, Assyrians and Egyptians, where the ...
544. On Comets and Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... it must be said that Mesoamerican culture is not alone in ascribing its cultural achievements to the designs of some early ruler, one virtually indistinguishable from the gods. As the first king and culture hero of Mexican tradition Quetzalcoatl conforms to a universal archetype: that of the primeval king. There are countless examples of this figure, of which the Greek Kronos, Latin Saturn, Iranian Yima, Hebrew El, and Chinese Huang-ti are among the most familiar. As we have documented elsewhere, it is possible to identify a celestial prototype for each of these legendary figures: namely, the planet Saturn. (73) Each of these primeval kings, in fact, was identified with the ...
545. The Life of Flavius Josephus - Autobiography [Books]
... in those things, and continued with him three years. (3 ) So when I had accomplished my desires, I returned back to the city, being now nineteen years old, and began to conduct myself according to the rules of the sect of the Pharisees, which is of kin to the sect of the Stoics, as the Greeks call them. 3. But when I was in the twenty-sixth year of my age, it happened that I took a voyage to Rome, and this on the occasion which I shall now describe. At the time when Felix was procurator of Judea there were certain priests of my acquaintance, and very excellent persons they were, whom ...

547. A Note on the Term "Hyksos" [Journals] [Kronos]
... a likely contemptuous nickname for the foreign invaders "who for centuries had regarded themselves as the legitimate kings of Egypt."(26) Furthermore, Brugsch-Bey supported Manetho's etymological handling of the term Hyksos. ". . . the word Sos corresponds exactly to the old Egyptian Shasu, in which the sound sh, which did not exist in Greek, is, according to custom replaced by a simple s. Although Manetho, in his age renders it by the current meaning of shepherd, ' he was only led to do so by a strange confusion, since, in order to explain the second part (sos) of the ancient name Hyksos, he resorts to the modern ...
548. A Stranger on the Throne. Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... to Thebes in Boeotia and paid no attention to this episode, obviously interpolated, of a Sphinx on a cliff overlooking the approaches to the seven-gated city? Did Akhnaton marry his mother? Did she bear him children? What about this physical sign that gave Oedipus his name, his swollen feet? And the blindness and exile? In the Greek legend, the king who lived in incest with his mother was called "Swellfoot," Oedipus. The pictures on the walls of Akhet-Aton (Tell el-Amarna) sepulchers and on the boundary stelae of the city show King Akhnaton and the members of his family. These pictures are very different from the pictorial art of Egypt of earlier generations ...

... , all his 80 brothers and half-brothers were killed. Artaxerxes III regarded the reconquest of Egypt as one of his chief tasks, which he did eventually accomplish, though not until the 16th year of his reign. We know that Nectanebo I died only a year before Artaxerxes II and was replaced on the throne by a pharaoh known to the Greeks as Tachos. Well aware of the ruthless nature of the new occupant of the Great King's throne, Tachos made preparations to defend Egypt, which included the recruitment of the legendary Spartan king Aegesilaus to his cause. Aegesilaus, by this time an old man, was apparently delighted at the opportunity once again to do battle with the Persians ...

... in which carbon and orthodox dates seem to agree is the late 18th /early 19th Dynasties. Before that time calibrated radiocarbon gives mostly older ages (except perhaps in the 12th Dynasty) and afterwards it goes younger for several centuries. Geometric Pottery at Tel Rehov and 14C Problems The Finkelstein v. Mazar battle has moved into the realms of Greek pottery. Early in 2003 Coldstream and Mazar published a joint article on the Greek Geometric style sherds from Tel Rehov (Israel Exploration Journal, 2003, pp. 29-48; Mazar is the excavator and Coldstream is an expert on Geometric pottery). There were early Middle Geometric I (MG I) sherds in the destruction of Str. ...
