... as to the country of origin of the Sardan have been made; some preferring the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, though a number of authoritative voices were raised in favour of Sardis, capital of Lydia. (2 ) The Sardan soldiers were to become the shock troops of the Egyptian army, and were equipped in a way strikingly similar to Greek hoplites of supposedly eight centuries later. Thus, for example, the Sardan are portrayed with metal helmets, metal-studded cuirass, and double-handled shields. (3 ) Now double-handled shields were first introduced in the Aegean world in the 7th century, (4 ) and were particularly associated with the development of hoplite battle techniques; the shield being ...
592. The Oera Linda Book Again [Journals] [SIS Review]
... enthusiastic item from DI Newman in the previous issue: Sadly, the rest of the contents, and the nature of the manuscript itself, both point to its being a forgery. In subsequent sections, we meet the legendary Minos as Minno, a Frisian sea-king who gives laws to the Cretans; Min-erva, a Frisian Burgtmaagd who rules the Greeks; Teunis and Inka, two Frisian naval captains, the former (sometimes called Neef-Teunis, hence Neptune) being active in the Mediterranean, the latter disappearing to found a colony overseas (we are left to guess where!). We meet Ulysses after the fall of Troy, and discover that he is a king of the Jonischen ...
593. Worship Of The Morning Star, Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... image of the pillar of cloud and fire which appeared as a moving serpent to all peoples of the world. St. Jerome apparently had this image in view when he interpreted the star mentioned by Amos as Lucifer. Or was it the "star of David," the six-pointed star? The Egyptian Venus-Isis, the Babylonian Venus-Ishtar, the Greek Venus-Athene were goddesses pictured with serpents, and sometimes represented as dragons. "Ishtar, the fearful dragon," wrote Assurbanipal.(43) The Morning Star of the Toltecs, Quetzal-cohuatl (Quetzalcoatl), also is represented as a great dragon or serpent: "cohuatl" in Nahuatl is "serpent", and the name means ...
594. The Day the Sun Stood still [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... There are other accounts of this lengthened day in the Old Testament. The prophet Isaiah was actively prophesying just before the catastrophe of 701 BC, which might well be termed "the day the Sun went backward." The rulers of Jerusalem thought that if they made a covenant with Death (the Canaanite god Mot) and Sheol (the Greek Hades), then the "overflowing scourge" would not harm them when it "passed through" the land of Judah (Isaiah 28.15). This scourge was then described in the following terms: "For the LORD shall rise up as in Mount Perazim, He shall be wroth as in the Valley of Gibeon, ...

596. The Stream Surrounding the Earth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the ceasing, the not being of the earth (i .e ., where the earth stops) '; the word is connected to the Hebrew apse eres, ends of the earth' [12]. Other root words are ab, hole, hollow, sea', and samu, sky', heaven'. The Greek abyssos, adopted from the Akkadian apsu, means an extremely deep hole in the ground. The Sumerian pictograph for AB.ZU was that of an excavation deep into the Earth mounted by a shaft. Burrows remarks that all texts permit the view that the apsu is a cistern, tank, reservoir, or pool. The Ring and ...
597. Old World Maps -- A Response to Charles Ginenthal [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... C) Yukon (63 N, 135 W). LONGITUDE Most kingdoms considered themselves to be the center of the world; and when the time came for map making, they set themselves in the "center." Nothing could be done about the Equator, it was where it was; but longitude is an abstract matter. The Greeks put their Prime Meridian through Alexandria; the Portuguese through Lisbon; the Spanish through Madrid; the French through Paris and the English through Greenwich (virtually, London). By the 1800s, the British had control of the world sea lanes. Their Admiralty Charts were the finest and their Prime Meridian was (and is) Greenwich. ...
598. Society News: Dead Sea Scrolls [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Discipline, describing the extraordinarily strict rules by which the community was to live; Temple Scroll, repeating and expanding on the biblical regulations concerning the Temple buildings, sacrifices, etc.; Copper Scroll, giving hiding-places for treasure, possibly once belonging to the Temple. Most of the writing is in Hebrew, some Aramaic, with a few Greek examples, usually from the Septuagint. Some books from the Apocrypha, until recently only known in Greek, Latin or Syriac, now have Hebrew or Aramaic originals, the Book of Job in Hebrew and Enoch in Aramaic. There are several hitherto unknown books as well. Scholarly opinion in general dates the bulk of these to pre-Christian times ...
... two dynasties that ruled consecutively." 2 In addition to all of these sources of error, Velikovsky noted that the list of dynasties provided by the Egyptian historian-priest Manetho contained extraneous years in dynasties as well as extraneous dynasties. This tendency to exaggerate appears to have originated as an effort to demonstrate that the Egyptian civilization was considerably older than the Greek or Assyro-Babylonian cultures. Two major problems arise with Manetho's list of dynasties. First, there are two versions (Eusebius and Africanus) which do not agree with each other. Second, it is not easy to determine which kings in Manetho's list correspond to kings mentioned in the monuments. There are two dynasties (Eighteenth and Nineteenth) ...
600. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Navels [Books]
... the wall (of the church of the Resurrection) is the Navel of the earth, which is covered by a small building, on the vault of which Christ is represented in Mosaic, with this inscription. "The sole of my foot14 serves as a measure for the heavens and the earth." It is still shown in the Greek church, Catholicon.15 It is mentioned as the Centre of the Earth by Bernhard, and as a place called Compas by Saewulf (A .D . 1102). Arculfus in A.D . 67016 said Jerusalem was in the middle of the earth, and that the Psalmist's " EI is my king of old, working ...
