... - and have tried to explain them away in a variety of ingenious but ultimately unconvincing ways. The book provides a wealth of examples of anomalies, of which only a few examples can be given in a short review. One classic case is Troy. Stratum VIII is dated to around 700 BC on the basis of finds of imported Archaic Greek pottery. Immediately below it is Troy VIIb, dated to the 12th century through its Late Helladic (LH) IIIC pottery. However, nothing has been found to bridge the gap over four centuries. There is no sterile layer to separate them; on the contrary, there is every indication of continuity, notably in the distinctive Grey ...
692. A Reading of the Pyramid Texts [Journals] [Pensee]
... was himself universally acclaimed king of the living. Every living pharaoh considered his dead father mystically to be Osiris and himself to be Horus; thus the link between planetary history and pharaonic unification of Egypt was secured. Velikovsky has laid down the main lines of his interpretation of this myth. He has identified Osiris as the planet Saturn, the Greek Cronos, and Horus as the planet Jupiter, the Greek Zeus. Saturn was fragmented by some kind of collision with Jupiter, and those fragmentary bodies which it did not reabsorb into itself caused disturbances through the rest of the solar system, both immediately and long after. The immediate disturbance affecting the earth was the deluge, caused by ...
693. Some Notes on the Revised Chronology (part one) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... quite unacceptable identification. 2) On pages 196-202 of Ramses II and His Time , Velikovsky attempts to combine the Libyan campaigns of Merenptah and Apries. His quotes from Herodotus IV, 159 ignore the vital portion, which makes it quite clear that the Libyans placed themselves under the rule of Apries who then came to their aid against the Cyrenaean Greeks. Merenptah was opposed to the Libyans, while Apries was their ally/overlord against the Greeks of Cyrene. 3) On pages 115-118 of Ramses II and His Time , Velikovsky attempts to prove that Nebuchadrezzar as Hattusilis III was placed "at the head of a part of the empire" by his brother. He ruled the Upper ...
694. Bob Forrest and Venus As A Comet In World Mythology [Books]
... the "star with hair," or a "long-haired star," or a "maned star," an appellation that accords completely with the global language of the comet. In fact, the "long-haired star" is the single most common phrase for "comet" around the world, and the word comet itself comes from the Greek Kometes, the "long-haired" [star]. Yucatec Maya dictionaries, for example, give as a gloss for "smoke star" the "maned comet." (10) But curiously, Mesoamerican peoples used this very language to describe Venus. Thus, the Cuicatec Indians still describe Venus as "the star like a hairy ...
695. The Stratigraphical Chronology of Ancient Israel [Journals] [Aeon]
... panthers and stags) became prominent in the 2nd pre-Hellenistic strata group of the Late Bronze Age or Mitanni period. (60) The Scythian motifs are closely associated with material remains of the Mitanni who, consequently, must be identified as the Mardu or Amorites of the Joshua legends. The Medish-Persian tribe of the "Mardians" (Mardoi in Greek (61) but also read as Amardians) has, according to Ctesias, its greatest son in Cyrus the Great. (62) Thus, the biblical Amorites were the Mitanni. This Indo-Aryan nation had to be identified as the Medes in the outfit of the Mesopotamian part of their post-Assyrian empire. (63) The stratigraphical location ...
696. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... blamed, naturally, for the end of the Minoan culture. There is evidence that the eruption was much larger than previously thought and not only did it destroy Santorini itself but would have severely disrupted the culture on Crete. Signs of sacrificed children indicate that the surviving people no longer had faith in the divine authority of their priests and mainland Greeks took advantage of the weakened society. The end of Egypt's Old Kingdom, some orthodox 700 years earlier, was put down to famine due to lack of rainfall and failure of the Nile flood as a result of a sudden climate change, confirming Mandelkehr's work on the evidence of a major catastrophe around 2,200BC. The sudden disappearance ...
697. The Crystal Sun, by Robert Temple (Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... museums such as the Cuming and Petrie Museums, where no one seems to be arrogant.) '. To give a single example from Temple's researches: in the Athens Archaeological Museum there is one of these collections of unnoticed' lenses dating from 13th-16th century BC. In the Acropolis Museum there is a vase of 4th Century BC showing a Greek looking through what can only be a telescope. As the book was approaching the page proof stage, Temple came upon more sensational evidence. An excavation of a pre-dynastic site at Abydos uncovered an ivory knife handle covered in microscopic carvings of figures with heads measuring just 1 millimetre across - impossible to see, and therefore carve, without optical ...
698. More Problems with Sothic Dating [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 4 years. Yet Geminus and related material actually suggest that the Egyptian calendar in the mid-4th century BC differed from the Egyptian calendar at the time Geminus wrote. Geminus wrote something akin to a beginner's textbook in astronomy. Portions of his chapter 8 discuss the Egyptian calendar. Geminus was attempting to correct what he claims was a widespread misunderstanding among Greeks that the Egyptian festival of Isis was always held on the winter solstice. He attributed this misunderstanding to the eminent Greek astronomer, Eudoxus, saying that in Greece it is generally supposed that for the Egyptians as for Eudoxus' the festival was held on the Winter solstice. Geminus says this supposition is incorrect because the Egyptians had a 365 ...
699. Black Sea Flood [Journals] [SIS Review]
... He also personified the flood hero variously Noah and Utnapushtim. The constellation of Aquarius depicts the god pouring the flood waters and the constellation of Argo was the flood ship, or boat = the ark. McHugh used Sumerian material such as the Enuma Elish creation story and the Mul Apin' star catalogue. We may also note the Argo in Greek myth symbolised the boat of Jason with its 50 oarsmen, one of whom was Hercules. The Argo was a collection of stars on the southern horizon variously associated with the Sumerian Annunaki, or the 50 daughters of Egyptus. The number 50 is an arbitrary figure for over 600 actual stars. In Egypt the constellation was heralded by Sirius ...
700. An Eighth-Century Date for Merenptah [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of great natural disasters, and famine is a logical corollary of those disasters. Literary evidence for this as a time of widespread famine will be presented elsewhere. Secondly, we may note the appearance of Sea-peoples as Libya's allies in the war against Egypt. Velikovsky identifies Merenptah with Apries of the XXVIth Dynasty, and views these Sea-peoples as the Greek settlers in Cyrene by whom, according to Herodotus, Apries was defeated in battle. However, Herodotus actually relates that the Egyptians under Apries acted in concert with the Libyans against the Cyrenaean Greeks, not that the Greeks aided the Libyans against Egypt [29]. The wars of Merenptah and Apries are clearly distinct, and do not ...
