... "Atlantic Ocean"- otherwise called "Ocean of the Atlanteans", "Outer Ocean", "Kronian Ocean", Mare Oceanum (" Ocean Sea") or Mare Magnum (" Great Sea") was indeed the whole of the "earth-encircling ocean". Q8: Thera or Santorini, the volcanic caldera located is the Greek region of the Mediterranean Sea, is often claimed to be the remains of Atlantis by several Atlantologists of scientific repute. Is this view tenable? A: Not at all. Plato and other authorities are very specific on the fact that Atlantis lay "outside the Pillars of Hercules". It is ridiculous to suppose that Plato would ignore ...
642. The Search for Sethos [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... field-mice swarmed over them during the night, and ate their quivers, their bowstrings, and the leather handles of their shields, so that on the following day, having no arms to fight with, they abandoned their position and suffered severe losses during their retreat".(2 ) Since conventionally no king called Seti (Sethos being the Greek form of that name) can be dated to 701, it is usually assumed that there is confusion here with Seti I, the latter's name having replaced that of the Ethiopian Shebitku, who was the true contemporary of Sennacherib.(3 ) My alternative approach was to consider the identity of Sethos in the light of that of the ...
643. More on Dan and Asher [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... some of the Sea Peoples were circumcised. This might be some support for Michael Sanders' theory that the Danu and the Tjekker were the tribes of Dan and Asher. The Dan and Asher tribes were linked together as seafarers in the story of Deborah. As Robert Stephens pointed out, the Danu- the tribe of Dan- and the Greek Danaans could all be one people. It is also possible that the Achaeans might be the tribe of Asher. Sanders had pointed out that Tjekker could mean the seat of Acre (Acche) which had been the territory of the tribe of Asher. It is then not too far to suggest that the Achaeans, Ahhiyawa, Achaea might ...
644. A CHRONOLOGICAL CHART OF RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... hinges on what I call " eschateutheia ". I first used this word some time ago in a paper on the book of Amos.(1 ) My reading on the Vikings has suggested that they were expecting the imminent end of the world . And this is the meaning of the word I have coined. It is derived from two Greek words meaning "final (day)" and "immediate", with the emphasis heavily on the latter. It also should be noted that eschateutheia characterises part of the thought of many religious founders. Amos, Isaiah, Jesus, and some of the finds at Qumran are well-known examples. Less well-known are Luther and the earliest sections ...
645. The Coming Cosmic Debate in the Sciences and Humanities: Revolutionary Vs. Evolutionary Primevology [Articles]
... more elemental is the philosophical question as to the origins of philosophy in the sublimation and rationalization of forms of thought and behaviour originating under traumatic conditions in "times beyond recall". II. A second category of knowledge to enter the approaching cosmic debate is history. No field of pro-history and ancient history escapes reappraisal. The field of ancient Greek history will serve us as an example. Gripped by the uniformitarian and evolutionary ideology, and therefore unimpressed by evidences of wide-spread, almost total, disasters that overtook the Minoan and Mycenean precursors of Greek civilization, most historians have accepted a theory that allows 500 years of dark ages. During this period they allege that one set of civilizations ...
646. "America B.C." and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... , and the modern Kurds. The Hittites and Lydians, however, spoke languages now called Anatolian. (As a linguistic term, Anatolian refers solely to the Indo-European languages peculiar to Asia Minor. It excludes not only non-lndo-European languages such as Hattic and Urartian but also Indo-European languages whose vernacular centers lay outside Asia Minor, such as Median, Greek, and the Thraco-Phrygian dialects. But there remain languages like Armenian, Lemnian, and Carian, whose Anatolian status is disputed.) Other Anatolian languages were Palaic and Luwian, whose late western derivative was Lycian.(2 ) It is possible, of course, that Dr. Hewsen's reason for omitting Hittites and Lydians from his list ...
647. Planetary Motions, Egyptian Unit Fractions and the Fibonacci Series [Journals] [Horus]
... (2 ) where P,E ,S are successive terms of any of the additive series shown in the columns of Table 1. Wall calls for the Metonic cycle of 19 years and two hours, - the period of a cycle in which the phases of the Moon repeat on the same day of the month, discovered by the Greek astronomer Meton in 433 B.C .[ 12] Then, the synodic equation of Douglas would be modified computing a 19-year period by Equation (2 ). 1/28 - 1/45 - 1/73+ 19/91,980 = 0 Eq.(3 ) and for the Venus/Earth orbital ratio ...
... from north-west to southeast, and that they end in peculiar arc-like heads', which always contain volcanoes. Thus we find, in Europe, the Apennine system, which extends south-eastwards from the western Alps and has its head' in the mountains of the toe' of Italy and of northern Sicily. Going east we come next to the Greek system, whose northern root' has been obliterated, and which therefore seems to start not from a major mountain system (the eastern Alps), but from the short, curved, transverse mountain range of the Shar-Dagh, or the Albanian Alps', south-east of Lake Scutari; the Greek system strikes south-south-east, to the finger-tips of ...
649. Dragon-Slayers (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... serpent-slayer Hruden appears whose name is closely related to that of Thraçtaona. The Indo-Iranian monster is often significantly described as having a serpent growing out from either of its shoulders: debris streamers. Another Iranian myth calls the monster Verethra, and the conquering god Verethraghna, the dragon-slayer. In Hindu mythology the pair appear as Vritra and Vritrahan. In Greek mythology, too, we find faint echoes of a dragon fight. Hermes the champion of Zeus, cut off the head of Argus Panoptes the ever-watchful one, who had eyes all over his body. The Rig-Veda contains many hymns praising the great victory which Indra gained over Rudra, the terrible dragon monster, which had caused much mischief ...
650. Ancient Astronomy and Celestial Divination [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... scholars. Both ancient sources and modern research agree that astronomy and celestial divination arose in Babylon. Only in the late nineteenth century, however, did scholars begin to identify and decipher the original Babylonian sources, and the process of understanding those sources has been long and difficult. This volume presents recent work on Babylonian celestial divination and on the Greek inheritors of the Babylonian tradition. Both philological and mathematical work are included. The essays shed new light on all of the known textual sources, including the omen series Enuma Anu Enlil, which contains omens from as far back as the early second or even third millennium, and the earliest personal horoscopes, from about 400 B.C ...
