... tried to hold to a last pocket of the broken Assyrian Empire around Harran against the victorious Medes, also allowed for the equation of Mitanni and Media. The Mitanni king Shaushatra, who conquered and then severely looted the city of Ashur in the 15th century B.C .E . is none other than the Medish king Kwakhshatra (in Greek: Cyaxares) who conquered and then severely looted the city of Ashur in 614 B.C .E . The late 7th century date for the Mitanni = Medes brings down the Amarna period to the late 7th century as well. This 700-year shift provides a firm anchor point for those sites within Israel that are famous for exhibiting the ...
552. The Origin of Mankind [Books]
... the third group tell that a greater number of individuals was fashioned while the creator's plastic impulse lasted. We shall now give a few of the more interesting of the myths of each group. The classic, example of the first group is, of course, that of Genesis ii. 7 which we have just discussed. According to the Greek poet, Asios; the Earth threw up a man of its own accord that there might be a human race. This earth-born man was Pelasgus the ancestor of the earliest inhabitants of Greece. The Salinan Indians of California tell that the eagle-deity made the first man out of mud which a diving-bird had fetched from the bottom of the waters ...
553. A Rage to Deny: The Roots of the Velikovsky Affair [Books]
... . (32) There you have it all, the entire Victorian fairy tale- the planet cycles regularly forever, life goes on regularly forever and it all moves "toward perfection." It is a dream-world of wishful fantasy projected onto nature. One wonders how anyone could have taken this myth seriously, for its origins lie much more in Greek and Scholastic philosophy (and in British chauvinism) than in reason, but of course we all know the place Darwin holds in modern science. To understand the theory's true source, let us consider a trifle more objectively than Shapley, Asimov and Sagan what Darwin has done. In a word, he has presented to the reader a ...
554. June 15, 762 BCE: A Mathematical Analysis of Ancient History [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... this chronology, the 37th year of Nebuchadnezzar II, 547, falls 23 years after the death of Ramses II/ Necho II and corresponds to the end of the reign of Merneptah I/ Hophra-Apries in Egypt. "Apries" ends in "es," just like "Ramses," (34) even though the former is a Greek word and the latter is Egyptian. Therefore, the reference to Nebuchadnezzar II's 37th year most likely indicates his battle with Hophra-Apries in 547; and Nebuchadnezzar II's state visit to Egypt took place in 572, during the 34th year of Ramses II and the 12th year of Nebuchadnezzar II. It is also said that Hophra-Apries' successor, Amasis ...
555. Minds in Chaos [Books] [de Grazia books]
... electrical disturbances of great violence caused much havoc; hurricanes swept the earth; a pall of darkness shrouded it, to be followed by a deluge of fire. This picture of a period of intense turmoil within the period of recorded history is supported by a wealth of quotations from the Old Testament, from the Hindu Vedas, from Roman and Greek mythology, and from the myths, traditions and folklore of many races and peoples... These catastrophic events in the earth's history are attributed by Dr Velikovsky to a series of aweinspiring cosmic cataclysms. In the solar system we see the several planets moving round the sun in the same direction in orbits which are approximately circular and which ...
556. The Electrical God [Books] [de Grazia books]
... on the single god, he made all things dependent on a single system incorporating a key machine assembly, and therefore made an integrated philosophy of nature imperative. In one legend, Moses cannot get the great natural bodies Sun, Moon, Earth, Heaven, Stars, Planets, Sea, Rivers that is, all the gods of the Greeks, to intercede on his behalf with Yahweh because, they said, they were but Yahweh's helpless creatures [1 ]. Possibly Yahweh's invisibility was a model of the ordinary invisibility (immateriality) and omnipresence of electricity, and of its appearing as incorporeal "fire" when it was visible. I think it no coincidence that among the ...
557. Eden's Flaming Sword by Isaac Vail [Books]
... affirm that the primitive sky and sun were concealed gods. Almost every race presents the thought of a succession of suns and skies. Our sky and our sun had each a father and a grandfather. A vapor heaven necessitated the absence of rains and tempests, thunder, etc. This thought also comes down from the remotest times. Ancient Greek, Roman and Hindu legends tell us that the thunder- god was born after two ephemeral heavens had passed away, and Genesis affirms that in the very beginning of man's career the "Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth" (2 :5 ). But inexorable law affirms that if there ever was a day ...
558. The Foundations Of Egyptian Chronology. Supplement: Astronomy And Chronology Ch.1 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... Hyksos; also, contradicting himself, he identified Moses with the rebellious priest Osarsiph, of much later times, who called on the lepers of Jerusalem to help him in his war with his own country. In composing his history of Egypt and putting together a register of its dynasties, Manetho was guided by the desire to prove to the Greeks, the masters of his land, that the Egyptian people and culture were much older than theirs or than the Babylonian nation and civilization. Berosus, a Chaldean priest and a contemporary of Manetho, tried to prove to the Greeks under the Seleucid rulers the antiquity of Assyro-Babylonian history and therefore he extended that history into tens of thousands of ...
559. Comets -- the Cause of Historic and Prehistoric Catastrophes [Articles]
... if they weren't quite right and he wanted to really tell you the real story. He didn't actually say they were wrong, but he thought he had an improvement on the statements that they were making. There were three features in his improved model that are worth drawing attention to. Aristotle, as you all know, claimed like many Greeks, that the heavens truly were unchanging and perfect, and this was part of their divine character, but the Milky Way was not part of this, the Milky Way to Aristotle was part of the sub-Lunary world and in a state, he said, of constant flux. In fact, he described the Milky Way just in the ...
560. Night of the Gods: Disputatio Circularis [Books]
... highest point quiescent, its pivot, its the Northern Pole. Anyhow, that was what was done; and one of the main objects of this Inquiry is to identify the Polar Deity with the oldest, the supremest, of the cosmic gods of all early Northern the PoIar God with the Ptah of the Egyptians, the Kronos of the Greeks, the Shang-Ti of the Taoists and the Tai-Ki and Tai-Yi of the philosophic Chinese, with the Amenomi Naka Nushi of archaic Japan. This is attempted in the chapters concerned with the Polestar and the mythic sacredness of the North; where also the Eye of Heaven and the Omphalos myths find their local habitation. There too-at the end of ...
