... than Nergal, whose identity as the planet Mars is well known. The identification of Horus as Nergal/Mars is also indicated from the fact that Nergal was addressed as "the avenger of his father" which, in Egypt, was a well known title of Hor-sa-iset, that is Horus the son of Isis, the Harsiesis of the Greeks. There are many other avenues by which Horus can be identified as the planet Mars that will be discussed in the longer version of this paper but, for the time being, what I have enumerated should suffice. This, however, leaves us with yet another conundrum because, if the Saturnian scenario upon which I have touched briefly ...
572. Angels & Catastrophism - Some Theological Implications - Part I [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the word angel' was used arose from biblical monotheism. Since the Hebrews could admit the existence of only one God, it followed that all the other pagan gods could not really have been gods at all, but were rather creatures of the one God who were there at his command to do his bidding - hence the word angel (Greek angelos' = messenger). It has been cogently demonstrated by Immanuel Velikovsky in recent times, that the pagan gods were, in fact, heavenly bodies, i.e . planets, comets and stars. Consequently these heavenly bodies became recognised by the early Hebrews as angels. From this it is possible to translate the Scholastic notion ...
573. A Re-examination of the Sothic Chronology of Egypt [Journals] [Kronos]
... Alexandrian astronomer during the reign of Theodosius the Elder (379-39S), has left what some consider a record of a Sothic cycle. More than the other six Sothic benchmarks, this has been the object of criticism from non Egyptologists. As with several statements regarding Sirius, Theon's remarks do not constitute unmistakable or unequivocal evidence. Theon's statement in Greek: (26) From the quotation we gather that the era of Menophres (apo Menophreos) lasted from circa 1321-1316 B.C . to AD. 285 or the duration of 1605 years, i.e . from Emperor Diocletian back to someone or something designated "Menophreos". Theon has possibly provided chronologists with an extraordinary verification ...
574. Prelunar Culture (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... 22e, 23a) appears to have been the only one which was able to survive the great cataclysm. But these three culture centres were surely not all that existed in the pre-capture world. There is no need to stress the great antiquity of the culture of Egypt. It is certainly much older than Egyptologists generally like to admit. The Greeks were ready to believe that the Egyptians had a history of at least `seventeen thousand years', and there is no need to assume that they were taken in by wily priests. We can now see quite plainly that they must have been in possession of detailed records of events which took place before the capture of Luna, and ...
575. Were The Hitites Lydians? [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Lycia). If these identifications are correct, it means that the Hittites were then in control of most of western Asia Minor. Herodotus informs us that early in his career Alyattes moved to strengthen Lydian control of Asia Minor, a control established by his immediate predecessors. As part of this policy, we are told, he attacked the Greek port of Miletus, continuing a war initiated 7 R.D .

... as Parearau, whose name appears to mean her band quite surrounds her'.[3 ] He does not comment on the fact that Parearau was unequivocally regarded as a female instead of a male deity in M~ori astronomy, leaving his readers with the idea that Parearau is a good match for the masculine Saturnian deities of the ancient Greeks and Babylonians. Unfortunately, Talbott also omits to mention the dispute over the identity of Parearau. [4 ] Three native M~ori sages have identified Parearau as the planet Jupiter, but because they described it as having a ring scholars have inferred that they must have erred and must have had Saturn in mind, [5 ] ...
577. Catastrophe and Divine Fires [Books] [de Grazia books]
... will worship the steer, the figure of which they see upon My chariot..."[11] This has a four-fold significance: it conforms to cometary images in general; it connects the comet with the "golden calf to come;" it puts Yahweh into the driver's seat of the cometary chariot, and it parallels the Greek myth of Phaeton, searing the world from his solar chariot. But the most powerful and exercised of cometary references is the towering column of smoke and fire that was first before and then behind the Israelites as they crossed into the desert. In ancient history and in folklore comets are often "hairy" and " 'smoking" stars ...

... may produce some unexpected results. Very sincerely, IMMANUEL VELIKOVSKY October 27, 1953 Immanuel Velikovsky 4 Hartley Avenue Princeton, New Jersey DEAR DR. VELIKOVSKY: Since I know nothing at all about Egyptology or archaeology of any sort I feel constrained to return your book, because it is about as intelligible to me as if it were written in Greek. You understand that my role in the radiocarbon dating has been solely that of inventor and user of the method. I have gradually learned a little bit about Egyptology and archaeology, but it is minuscule in dimension. We have dated several samples of petroleum. All of them have been of great antiquity. One sample reported from the ...
579. Heinsohn's Revised Chronology & Lynn Rose's Retrocalculations [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... whel@worldnet.att.net> Date: Sat, 15 Mar 1997 08:42:07 + 0000 It's impossible to find fault with ancient chronology as long as you accept the myth of "dark ages" and "huge gaps" in stratigraphical continuity. Heinsohn points out that the physical history of the ancient world shows the Greek historians were essentially right: archaeology sites show that there are four main settlement periods between Alexander and the Stone Age. Calling these periods by different names in different sites resulted in an inflated chronology that- mirabile dictu- just happens to correspond with Biblical dating. This inflated chronology began when Bible dates were applied to Greek historical periods, ...
580. Ninurta [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Jacobsen, may even mean "Lord Plough". Cf. the Roman Saturn as god of agriculture. The scythe he was depicted with was certainly an agricultural implement, though there is the confusing aspect of him castrating Uranus with same weapon. (Both seem to have added to the image of the Grim Reaper.) Why did the Greeks, Romans, think that the scythe was Saturn's weapon? Because he used it to spoil his father's fun, or because of his associations with agriculture? I think probably the latter. Saturn/Kronos was the god of the Golden Age, when according to Hesiod and others, working the land was not needed, as useful plants ...
