... calendar- was found to change her position "by one day every four years." This "slide" was to be halted by the addition of an extra day in every fourth year. In this way the festivals would no longer "wander" from summer to winter, as had been the case for several centuries. In the Greek original, from which the demotic and hieroglyphic translations were derived, the fixed point that was chosen to anchor the calendar to the solar year was the annual reappearance of the star "Sothis" above the horizon. In the Egyptian translation, however, it is only the star Sopdet (the Greek "Sothis") that is named ...
... of the four quarters and assigned to every star and celestial body its appropriate motion. This is a reference to the recanstructipn of the calendar as a result of the Flood, the catastrophe having changed the earth's axis and added to the length of its orbit, in which Odin represents the god Hermes to whom this act was attributed by the Greeks. In Asgard, situated in Midgard, the "middle of the earth", dwelt the gods and their kindred, and from that abode devised "wondrous things in earth and heaven". It possessed a "high place", an elevation, a pyramid, called Hlidskjalf, from whose summit Odin, on his lofty throne ...
683. The Velikovskian Vol. VI, No. 1: Contents [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... also analyzed along with the evidence of: erosion agronomy climatology agriculture glass technology domestication of the horse and ass linguistics forensic anthropology musical instrumentation of the hepatonic diatonic scale And much more! Published Mesopotanian stratigraphical research, based on geology and archaeology now indisputably prove 700 to 800 years were added to history by the archaeologists. Linguistics related to Hebrew, Greek and Hittite along with agronomy, climatology, irrigation, burial customs and artifacts, domestication of the horse and ass and other topics all converge to indicate that history is much shorter than what historians claim has been established . For the first time in one work this evidence is presented to scientifically prove that ancient Near Eastern history must be shortened ...
684. Perplexities of Orthodoxy. [Journals] [Kronos]
... the following observations: ". . . in 1953... a clay tablet dug up by Blegen in Pylos came into the hands of an Englishman, Michael Ventris. It showed a grouping of symbols such as [the philologist] Sittig had not yet seen, and which the brilliant Ventris, another outsider, could indisputably read as Greek. This invalidated part of Sittig's interpretations: only three of his thirty readings had been correct. And so, there began a new effort that will probably go on for a long time. While ancient philology is approaching the final solution of its problem, a far greater problem has come to confront us regarding the entire history of antiquity ...
685. Thoth Vol II, No. 20: Dec 31, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... it's more challenging than Everest .. . and I wonder what insights the New Year will bring? There is something new under the sun. Even the sun is new. Amy Acheson thoth@whidbey.com- THE "TERRIFYING GLORY" OF VENUS By Dave Talbott (dtalbott@teleport.com) In our prior installment on the Greek goddess Athena, we noted two relationships of the goddess under the tests of our planetary model: the connection to the ancient eye-goddess, and the connection to the "shield" in which the warrior-hero finds his protection. Our purpose was to illustrate how an independent researcher might follow the logical tests of the Saturn model in any direction. ...
686. The Twin Tilts of the Spin Axes of Mars and Earth [Articles]
... " (day of alarm about approaches of Ares). The ancient Hebrews had their counterparts, their "passover" (the night of March 20-21) and their great and fearful "Day of the Lord." In Latin, Mars is a "slur" word, from "magna" (large) and "Ares" (Greek for Mars). Thus the Latin armilustrium is cognate with "Ares". The Latin tubulustrium (day of trouble and turmoil in the heavens) was cognate with the Germanic Tyr, also Mars. A typical quilt is comprised of dozens and dozens of lesser squares, each one significant. Figure 1 illustrates the "bigger pattern" ...
687. Reopening the Sumerian Question [Journals] [Aeon]
... existence of a people of unusual talent and ability as the originators of the cuneiform script and of the civilization that developed along with it. The evidence of the tablets also demanded the existence of another people hitherto unknown, the Semitic-speaking Akkadians, successors of the Sumerians. The newly discovered Sumerians at first had a political organization resembling that of the Greek city states. Once the Akkadians had organized themselves into a powerful empire, the world's first according to historians, the Sumerian city states fell one by one under its sway. But after more than a century the Sumerians were able to reassert themselves, this time organized into a short-lived "neo-Sumerian" empire, that gave way to the ...

... upon the Earth, of transmutations, for instance of iron and nickel into aluminum and silieni and of these into magnesium, sodium, and helium. An instance of how rapidly old problems can be tendered new solutions by seemingly remote scientific developments occurs in the case of perhaps the most famous of fall-outs , that of manna, ambrosia to the Greeks, soma to the Hindus, and other names to other peoples. The insistent claim of the ancients takes on enhanced validity in the context of operations of modern technology. The bits of suggestive evidence come from all quarters. We begin with a famous 1945 experiment of S.L . Miller (in consultation with H. Urey) ...

... , Pras(s )o on Rhodes, and Paros among the islands.(8 ) What is more, Hellenic mythology contains a Series of legendary personages, such as Perse, Perses, Perseis, and Perseus, which might reasonably have led, at least in pre-Achaemenid times, to the use of a term like *Perseans for Greeks. The attested alternative ethnonym Danaans, coupled with the Greek heroic names Danaus and Danae, makes this possibility far from remote. FOOTNOTED REFERENCES 1. Doubleday and Co., Garden City, N. Y. 1977 2. Since early Egyptian scribes wrote no vowels, it seems less prejudicial, especially in cases of uncertain reference, ...
690. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... much of the iconography and religion of the ancient world could be understood in terms of electrical effects (recent books on the subject which members will probably have come across are Yahweh by J. Ziegler and God's Fire by Alfred de Grazia) but would survey the evidence of the vocabulary used by the experts. The writings of Homer and later Greek tragedians indicate that, just as the Greeks were particularly aware of the separate parts of the body, so they separated aspects of the mind in a way unfamiliar to us today. The ancient Egyptians employ parallel descriptions which also shed light on important words in Etruscan, Latin and Hebrew. The Egyptian word for a man's double, also ...
