... picture for the future of mankind. He includes some imaginative speculations, such as that Stonehenge was designed to keep track of potential impacting objects. Black Athena revisited 18 essays edited by Mary Lefkowitz and Guy Maclean Rogers, University of North Carolina Press, 1996, $19.95. Bernal's unorthodox views on the black African roots of classical Greek culture are rebutted by a scholarly range of distinguished authors. The editors conclude that although there is ample evidence for Egyptian influence on aspects of Ancient Greek culture, that is different from defining Egypt as the origin of that culture. There is also little evidence that the ancient Egyptians were black' in the sense of other Old World cultures ...
632. Some 'New Chronology' Issues [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... circumstantial evidence to support the suggestion that King Horemheb may have been a co-regent of king Seti I. It also seems to be pure speculation that links Horemheb with Danaus (Hermaeus), and Seti I with Danaus's brother Sethos-Aegyptos. Apart from the similarity in their names, there is little to support the idea, either within the Egyptian or Greek legends, genealogies, chronologies and monuments. I have presented detailed evidence elsewhere, with other details forthcoming, identifying Danaus with the Hebrew Dan, and his suzerain brother Joseph as Sethos-Aegyptos, both of them being sons of the Eastern Ethiopian king Orus - The one who saw the Gods' i.e . Jacob. (see my ...

... 2000) Home | Issue Contents News Flash The Alphabet and the Saturnian Configuration Tania ta Maria A set of new petroglyphs were discovered in 1954 by John Darnell, an assistant professor at Yale University, in a remote desert area of Egypt. Dated to 1800 B. C., they are thought to be the prototype of the Hebrew, Greek, Cyrillic, and Roman alphabets. P. Kyle McCarter, of the Johns Hopkins University, has stated that these petroglyphs are "as close as we have come to the invention of the alphabet." Alphabetic writing which had been discovered earlier in the Sinai desert had been dated to 1500 B.C . Previously thought to have ...

... the 3rd century BC the Chinese Emperor sent a mariner to search the Pacific for the drug of immortality. There are no records of his success but a modern day adventurer set out from Asia on a bamboo raft and nearly made it to California. The bamboo was still fine but the rattan lashings had deteriorated and broke in heavy seas. Greeks or Phoenicians?Earthwatch Magazine May/June 1994, p. 82 Scholars think that the Phoenicians brought Greek culture to the Near East. The bible, however, records a war between the Greeks and the Maccabees near the latter's port city and Greek artefacts found there could indicate that it was the Greeks themselves who Hellenised Yavneh-Yam, or ...
635. Radioactivity/The Atom [Books]
... bodies', which he read at a meeting of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society, showed that the molecule was divisible into smaller particles which he called atoms. Dalton may be considered as the true founder of the chemical atomic theory, although the existence of the atom as a subdivision of the molecule, had already been advanced by the Greek philosopher Xenophanes (570-480 BC). Until 1899 the atom (from the Greek word atomos = that which cannot be cut) was considered as being the smallest particle of a chemical element which could exist either alone or in combination with other atoms. It was shown that in a few cases the molecule of a substance could be identical ...

... and Spitzbergen have also been considered. This was due to the fact that traditions of inundations and submersion of islands exist in all parts of the world. Plato set down what Solon had heard in Egypt from the learned priest. "The [Atlantic] ocean there was at that time navigable; for in front of the mouth which you Greeks call, as you say, the Pillars of Heracles' [Hercules], there lay an island which was larger than Libya and Asia [Asia Minor] together; and it was possible for the travellers of that time to cross from it to the other islands, and from the islands to the whole of the continent over against ...

... or "rockrose". Onycha is the horny plate that covers a species of mussel found in the lakes of India which, when burned, emits a musky odor. Galbanum is a pleasantly aromatic gum resin derived from certain umbelliferous plants. Frankincense (from the Old French for "pure incense"), as used by the Jews, Greeks, and Romans, was a gum resin now called olibanum which was derived from certain trees of the genus boswellia found growing on the limestone of South Arabia and Somaiiland. Thus, three of the four ingredients in the incense burned on the golden altar were gum resins. Gum resins are mixtures of gum and resin obtained from plants or ...

... . These must have been Smenkhare and his allies (see Velikovsky's OEDIPUS AND AKHNATON). These "polluted wretches" are defeated and put to work in quarries. Later, they rebel and choose a leader named Osarsiph (Osorkon), who conquers Thebes without a fight. This reminds us of the conquest of Thebes by the Epigoni of Greek legend, who also met no resistance. Josephus/Manetho says that the pharaoh of the time (who must be Ay) fled to Ethiopia. Olmstead, in his HISTORY OF ASSYRIA, noted that the Nubian royalty of later times were particularly linked to the 18th Dynasty. During the second half of the 8th century Nubian pharaohs would ...
... . 7. The comet settled into orbit around the sun as the planet Venus. 8. There is a continuing terror of comets among mankind as a result of these unconsciously remembered events. 9. The catastrophes can be used to synchronize the histories of different cultures. The conventional chronology of Egypt is wrong (too long); the Greek Dark Ages are an invention. Now, it turns out that only one of these assertions is new, the identifying of the comet with what is now Venus. Clear evidence of this lack of originality is present in the literature on the Velikovsky affair itself (see below). But Gardner [ii 2, 1 13] was ...

... all-encompassing "Unity". This figure is, of course, the Universal Monarch, the subject of our ONE STORY (So our ONE STORY might be subtitled the "The Story of ONE'"). Examples would include: Egyptian Atum and Ra, Sumerian An and Utu, Akkadian Anu and Shamash, Hindu Varuna and Brahma, Greek Ouranos and Kronos, Aztec Ometeotl and Quetzalcoatl, to name a few. Our claim is that all others stories, all other archetypal figures, when investigated at the core, lead back to the ONE STORY, intersecting with this story in the most remarkable and explicit ways. Here are the other figures: QUEEN OF HEAVEN Wherever you ...
