... of the culture. Some more ancient pre-Greek and proto-Greek cultures practicing group marriage would have had to find a different plot and details to screen the reiteration of the Moon and Mars encounter. It is characteristic of "Western man's" partially Greek-born culture, and a proof of his cultural ancestry, that the adulterous love triangle, descended from the Greeks, is still a favorite artistic theme. FORGETTING Forgetting is subject to the same rules as remembering. We remember to forget. That is, amnesia is activated in the same way as memory. Glancing at the list of rules of remembering, one can substitute forgetting for remembering and get the following rules of forgetting. Like remembering, ...

... around -1150 and reaching its peak with King Ninos in -750. This is archaeologically Naram-Sin's Old Akkadians, being directly below the Late Bronze Age. This is followed in turn by the Mitanni and the Achaemenids. Art from outside Assyria dated to the Persian period is similar to art inside Assyria dated hundreds of years earlier. Heinsohn finally lined up Greek and Mesopotamian history thus: starting -1000 Middle Helladic, Early Bronze Age, Early Assyria and Chaldaea (Ninevite 5 ware) and Early dynasty Sumerians; -750 Mycenaeans, Ninos (Old) Assyrians, Hyksos, Chabur ware; Rise of the Polis, Medes (Mitanni) and Chaldaeans (Neo-Sumerians); -550 Flowering of the Polis, ...
... was that best place. He also adorned his own house and his gardens with the curiosities brought from those temples, together with the houses he lay at when he traveled all over Italy; whence he did not scruple to give a command that the statue of Jupiter Olympius, so called because he was honored at the Olympian games by the Greeks, which was the work of Phidias the Athenian, should be brought to Rome. Yet did not he compass his end, because the architects told Memmius Regulus, who was commanded to remove that statue of Jupiter, that the workmanship was such as would be spoiled, and would not bear the removal. It was also reported that ...
584. The Primordial Light? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the peoples of antiquity." (23) It is not our purpose to demonstrate that indeed Saturn was once a senior deity by giving exhaustive proofs. Many learned books have been written on just this topic. We do propose to identify Saturn in the many mythologies, e.g . in the Egyptian as Osiris (24), Greek as Kronos, Babylonian as Ninurta (25), Hittite as Kumarbis (26), Hindu as Brahma (27) . . . etc. Tacitus records the Jews as worshipping the planet Saturn (Shabbatai) as their god (28). From the importance of these deities in their respective pantheons we may clearly see that here ...
585. Child of Saturn (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Venus, both of which were proposed by Velikovsky.(2 ) Let me say, at once, that at no time did the ancients ever identify these two deities as either of the two planets with which we are concerned.(3 ) True, this, in itself, does not prove Velikovsky wrong. After all, the Greeks never identified Athene as Venus either. That particular identification rests its case on comparative mythology. It is, therefore, through a similar process that we must evaluate Velikovsky's identification of Vishnu and Shiva as Venus and Jupiter. What evidence did Velikovsky present for his identification of Shiva as Jupiter? Merely this: In Greek mythology we see Zeus ...
586. Night of the Gods: The Pillar-Axis as Tower [Books]
... covered with an enriched envelope, of metal apparently, and topped by a pointed crown with a sort of curtain or mantle of stuff round about. Coins which give the manapsa or stone of Artemis at Perga in Pamphylia evidently figure a metal bell-like cover. We see similar metal coverings, showing only the face and hands, on Russian and Greek church-pictures to this day. The rock or pillar-stone of Cnamchoill (Cleghile) near Tipperary was a fragment of the Wheel by means of which Simon Drui sailed in the air. Mog Ruith and his daughter, a great Druid and Druidess of Valencia, were pupils of Simon Drui, and the daughter brought this fragment to Ireland. This ...

... sixty, would then have been in about the eighth or ninth decade of the fifth century, probably well into the Peloponnesian War. He is reported to have taken his own life, by leaping into the volcanic crater of Mount Aetna in northeastern Sicily (though accounts of Empedocles' death differ greatly). Empedocles wrote poetry, in Ionian Greek. His writings have survived only in fragments quoted by later writers. We have more than three hundred fifty lines from his On Nature, and over one hundred lines from his Purifications. The total is nearly five hundred lines, more than has survived from any other pre-Socratic philosopher. Yet this may represent as little as one-tenth of what ...
588. Solaria Binaria [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , lending support to the theory that these two planets were once one. In Proclus, citing the Parmenides of Plato, occurs a statement that Jupiter separated himself from Saturn; interpreted physically, this suggests a fission."[17] There exists, in fact, much literature on the interaction between Jupiter and Saturn, not only in Greek thought but also in other works of Near and Middle East cosmogony [18]. The high density of the inner planets suggests that they have had different careers than Jupiter and the outer planets. Venus is an exception to be discussed later, but the others probably existed long before Solaria Binaria began to disintegrate around 14,000 B ...

... to its date and location. From the evidence, it appears that there was an impact event in about 1584 BC, just to the west of what is now Jerusalem, and that this Nagasaki-sized impact destroyed the military forces of a large number of Hittite appendages, which were under the command of the Hittite king T'Hantilish, known to the Greeks as Tantalus. So far I have three independent sources for this event, a summary of which follows, (including contemporary Hittite records, second summary below), as well as a broad archaeological sequence that supports the occurrence of this impact event. The first written source for the event, one with which the conference participants are probably ...

... volition of each pharaoh was Osiris, the chief god, who was his "ka" or bicameral voice. Osiris commands the building of the pyramids to his glory in the same way that a millennium later Yahweh with great architectural detail commands Moses to build an ark and a tabernacle to his glory (Exodus 25-27), or as the Greek earth Goddess, Demeter, commands that a temple be built at Eleusis to her glory (Homeric Hymn to Demeter, lines 271ff.), or in many other examples. In Egypt, however, when the pharaoh dies - as we would call the process - he is absorbed into his "ka" and then both are absorbed ...
