... , America B.C . The Micmac tribe of eastern Canada have a written language with signs very similar to Egyptian hieroglyphs. Fell has recently written a paper on the Micmac manuscripts which includes many more similarities. Now even the Romans seem to have been there, with the find of Roman coins at the bottom of an Indian mound. Greeks in France New Scientist, 9.10.93, p. 4 Two intact Greek boats from the 5th century BC and a shipyard dating back to the 6th century have been found at Marseilles.

612. Thersites a Jumping Trojan? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2000:2 (Dec 2000) Home | Issue Contents Thersites a Jumping Trojan?CCNet, 25 May 2000 In this paper, we examine the dynamical evolution of the asteroid (1868) Thersites (According to Homer, Thersites was not only the ugliest of all Greeks that took part in the Trojan war, but also had the most intolerable personality. His nasty habit of making fun of everybody cost him his life, as the last person for whom he spoke ironically about was Achilles, the mightiest warrior of all Greeks, who killed Thersites with just one punch!), a member of the Trojan belt. Thersites is librating around the ...
613. History, Proto-history, and Synchronisms [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... longer than a year. Historians, by contrast, tried to tell their readers how and why events occurred. Their writings were not merely descriptive but explanatory, in that they sought to trace causal links between events that were decades or more apart. The earliest writers whom I would acknowledge as historians in this sense are Hecataeus of Miletus in Greek Anatolia and Yen Ying of Chou China, both dating no earlier than the late sixth century B.C . In these terms proto-history would be the preceding period, ending in the mid-sixth century, when records consisted of annals, signaries, or artifacts; and prehistory would be the still earlier period, probably Pliocene, when the only ...
614. The Enclosed Sun-Cross [Books]
... ) The tradition is repeated by many other nations. The Mandaeans of Iraq enumerate four great rivers flowing from the north. (9 ) Just as the Babylonians recalled "the land of the four rivers," (10) the Egyptians knew "Four Niles," flowing to the four quarters. (11) The home of the Greek goddess Calypso, in the "navel of the sea," possessed a central fountain sending forth "four streams, flowing each in opposite directions." (12) In the Scandinavian Edda, the world's waters originate in the four streams flowing from the spring Hvergelmir in the land of the gods, (13) while Slavic tradition ...

616. Zeus And Athene, Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... one group of legends Jupiter (Zeus) is the protagonist of the drama: he leaves his place in the sky, rushes to battle Typhon, and strikes him with thunderbolts. But other legends and historical sources, too, which I have quoted on previous pages, indicate that it was the planet Venus, or Pallas Athene of the Greeks. Athene killed her father, Typhon-Pallas, the celestial monster, and the description of this battle is not different from that of the battle in which Zeus killed Typhon. Under the weight of many arguments, I came to the conclusion- about which I no longer have any doubt- that it was the planet Venus, at the ...
617. Deluges [Books] [de Grazia books]
... about the "Deluge." These are at odds with conventional science, yet have been using more and more the findings of conventional science. Boulanger and others have talked of "the" Deluge as if there were only one, whether unique in occurrence or unique in size. Most of the ancients spoke of periodic flood catastrophes. The Greeks spoke of three great floods, Deucalion, Ogyges, and Dardanus. The first two have been tied to great floods of Exodus times, the mid-second millennium B.C .[ 4 ] According to Philochorus (3rd c. B.C .) , "deluge-swept Attica remained without a king for 189 [or 190] years ...
618. Jerusalem -- City of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... after supporting Adonijah against Solomon in a losing cause. The city of Anathoth was the shrine of the great Canaanite goddess Anath, herself a Venus deity, and Abiathar owned property in Anathoth.(70) (Perhaps the name Abiathar was an assumed one.) If we also recognize that Yahweh or Jehovah was originally the same as the Greek Zeus(71) or the Roman Jove,(72) we may tentatively conclude that the Hebrews worshipped the planet Jupiter prior to and during the period they adored Venus, the Queen of Heaven". The Jewish people would thus have been subjected to multiple theological stress throughout the greater part of their national history: the planet-gods- ...
619. Metals, Salt and Oil [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Lately Tortured Earth, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER TEN Metals, Salt and Oil Iron-working is siderurgy, a word out of ancient Greece and Rome. It translates properly as the working of star-iron. The Greek word for anvil, on which iron was worked, was close to the word for a meteoric stone. The Eygptians called iron "the bones of Typhon" and "a gift from Seth," both names corresponding to bodies crashing into the Earth, devil-monster and devil-god. Meteoritic iron was known to the early dynasties. "The Jews called iron ore nechoshet, which literally means the droppings of the (cosmic)serpent, ...
620. The River of Ocean [Journals] [SIS Review]
... I not elsewhere intimated that the pre-Islamic Allah was also a form of Saturn' [30]? Thus a serpent encircling Allah, or his throne, would also be symbolic of one surrounding Saturn. It seems, then, that we are on the right track and this becomes all the more evident when we consider the words of the Greek philosopher Epicurus. The All', he stated, was from the beginning like an egg, and the pneuma in serpent wise around the egg was then a tight band as a wreath or belt around the universe' [31]. Let not the word universe' confuse the issue. By universe' is meant kosmos which, ...
