... Classical Library edition of that author, which I use throughout my book; Harvard University is the publisher of that standard series. A. D. Godley, translator and editor of Herodotus in that edition, makes this note to verse III.5 to which I referred in my footnote: "Hot winds and volcanic agency were attributed by Greek mythology to Typhon, cast down from heaven by Zeus and buried' in hot or volcanic regions .. . and the legend grew that he was buried in the Serbonian marsh." I have not invented the battle; I have not invented the participants in the battle; I have not invented the place of the battle. Lake ...
662. The Comet Venus, Part 1 Venus Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... with hair," as did the Babylonians.(62) "Sometimes there are hairs attached to the planets," wrote Pliny;(63) an old description of Venus must have served as a basis for his assertion. But hair or coma is a characteristic of comets, and in fact "comet" is derived from the Greek word for "hair." The Peruvian name "Chaska" (wavy-haired) (64) is still the name for Venus, though at present the Morning Star is definitely a planet and has no tail attached to it. The coma of Venus changed its form with the position of the planet. When the planet Venus approaches the ...
663. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... semi-serious conjecture to the incredulous assembly that Plato's Atlantis may be found on the red planet. However, to be honest, I had positioned the "citadel" of Atlantis circumscribing the south polar region of Mars and not the area of Cydonia, as does Hoagland. Actually, there is a precedence for this, as was recorded by the Greek philosopher Proclus, according to whom, a third century writer known as Amelius had taken the subject off-planet and equated Atlantis with the known planetary bodies. (It might also be mentioned that NASA Langley was the initiating and founding site for the Viking spaceprobes before the program was reassigned to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.) Richard Hoagland's ...
664. Moderating the Middle Ages [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ). Applying his methods of reconstruction gave Fomenko no duplicates of events from 1300 to 1900, which period he therefore passes as authenticated. An example he gives is of Troy and Rome, through to the Habsburg rule in the Holy Roman Empire. Were any Trojan records actually recovered when Schliemann discovered Troy, or do we rely on the Greek account of their history? Fomenko gives the time of the Trojan kingdom as 1460-1263 BC - 224 years, the rule of 7 kings (the 7 hills upon which Rome was built) and compares it to Rome's regal period (reference Livy) of 230 years; and the Trojan War of 10 years to the war between Rome and ...
665. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , Ashur-Nadin-Shumi. He was Neo-Assyria's viceroy in Babylon where no traces of him or his palace supposedly were ever found. I believe that he lived in the Old Palace', with the attached Persian mansion belonging to his mother Sakutu (in cuneiform). He was Sakutu's firstborn, with Esarhaddon coming later. Sakutu I identify with Parysatis (Greek rendering), the mother of Artaxerxes II (Arsakes) and Cyrus the Younger, whom I thus identify with Ashur-Nadin-Shumi. Cyrus the younger was Parysatis' favourite son. He was killed close to Babylon (Kunaxa) after having lost the throne battle with Artaxerxes II. His Babylonian palace was supposedly never found either. In brief, ...
666. The "So-Called" Fixed Sothic Date of Sesostris III, 1872 B. C. [Journals] [Kronos]
... well indeed with no need for a 365-day calendar at all. It is in just this way that the Moslem year proceeds on its way with Ramadan and the various feasts corresponding to the lunar cycle, sometimes in summer, sometimes in winter, and nobody seeming to worry. In Egypt, for example, only foreigners, eg., Greeks and Romans (and perhaps Middle Kingdom or Hyksos rulers) would have needed a comparison with their own systems. When we have the decree of Canopus where it states "that feasts which should be celebrated in winter should not be celebrated in summer" by Roman times, then the civil calendar had certainly got out of step. Let ...

... the satellite the distorted earth begins to return to its spherical form, which causes much magma (the great Tertiary basalt, etc., flows) to be squeezed out. The reporters of the myth must have seen satellitic wreckage plunge into such `lakes of fire burning with brimstone', glowing, molten expanses, formed by what the Greeks would call the fiery river Pyriphlegeton welling up into the upper world. The earth was seismically greatly disturbed then. Earthquakes are not directly mentioned in this myth, but we are told that what remained of the `beast' was thrown `alive' into the `fiery' pool. It must have `wriggled' and `twitched ...
669. The Secret of Baalbek (Concluded) [Journals] [Kronos]
... ON- AVEN The identification of Bikat Aven, referred to in Amos 1:5 with the plain of Coele-Syria is generally accepted.(1 ) The text, already quoted, reads: "I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven . . ." The Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Bible by the Seventy, renders the above text as "the valley of On," written the same as On (or Heliopolis) in Egypt. The Hebrew spellings of Aven and On do not differ in consonants; and vocals were inserted in the texts by the Masoretes in a late period. On is the ...

... , billowing in the wake of white goddesses, as in tresses of hair, or robes spread wide, had something to do with suspended bits of white light in the night sky, or golden locks during sunlight hours. However, this idea fails to take note of the food element involved, milk and honey and sticky liquid. In Greek tradition we have the idea of ambrosia, and in astronomy we have a region of the sky associated with a swarm of bees .. .. and bees produce honey. In Greek myth Zeus, the bull of heaven, was fed by bees in his cradle, on Mount Ida = a holy mountain or mound, a synonym ...
