... story. Therefore the third-hand form that has come down to us is very corrupt. Nevertheless we can learn from it that: In the early days, before the Earth was yet made, a number of terrible beasts were the masters of the heavens. Over them ruled a female monster named Om'orqa, which is in Chaldaean Thamte or in Greek thalassa, whose name has the same numerical value as seline To end this unbearable state of affairs the Lord Marduk rose and split the monster right through, making the Earth out of one half and the heavens out of the other; he also killed all the crew of terrible monsters that attended her. ' Berossus, with great openheartedness ...
702. Notes on this issue: Pensee IVR X [Journals] [Pensee]
... . Velikovsky (p . 21) comes forth with another one of those chapters from the unpublished sequels to Ages in Chaos. This one, titled "The Scandal of Enkomi," examines findings which, he says, caused a reputable archaeologist no small embarrassment. Objects found at Enkomi on the island of Cyprus showed close affinities with both Greek and Egyptian relics dated, conventionally, several centuries apart. The excavator, choosing the lower (Greek) date for Enkomi, was bitingly overruled by experts who relied on Egyptian dating. In Velikovsky's view the dual affinity of the Enkomi artifacts should have been expected: the Egyptian chronology needs to be lowered by several hundred years. Dr ...
703. On Saturn And The Flood [Journals] [Kronos]
... was the dominant deity. Insofar as I could understand the physical events that affected the globe in times preceding the Middle Kingdom in Egypt, I was able to explain them as the results of a disturbance in which both Jupiter and Saturn participated. Various peoples witnessed the events and described them, as a celestial-human drama in different forms: the Greeks, for example, had Jupiter-Zeus, the son of Saturn-Kronos, dethrone his father and banish him, and take his place to become the supreme deity. In Egyptian folklore or religion the participants in the drama are said to be Osisris-Saturn, brother and husband of Isis-Jupiter. And it is not that the wife dethrones the husband, nothing ...
704. Culture Heroes (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... bringing with them the wisdom, the philosophy, and the culture of the ancient state of "Atlantis". ' Even if this passage should have been too confidently rendered, there can be no doubt that Egypt saved a great deal of the lost Atlantean culture. Plato, through Solon, derived his knowledge of Atlantis from Egyptian sources. Greek mythology mentions a great number of culture heroes, Prometheus, Palamedes, Cecrops, and others. The Peruvians say that their culture was given them by Chon (or Chontisi, or Huiracocha), a red-haired wise man and mighty magician, whose very word levelled the hills and filled the valleys. The Baal-priest Berossus, drawing on Chaldaean-Babylonian ...
705. German Conference: from Gunnar Heinsohn [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... (Sparta), the Bit Suchi as House of Sykion. Bit Chaluppe as Chalkis would fortify my equation of Assurnasirpal II (now -9th c.) as an alter ego of Xerxes. The former reaches his fleet- supposedly moving on the Euphrates- at Bit Chaluppe whereas Xerxes does the same at Chalkis. I myself spoke on the Greek Dark Age, especially on the city of Ismaros of the Kikonians where Ulysses committed the first reported genocide of occidental civilization (Odyssey IX: 39 ff.). The Kikonians are considered extinct around -1150 but they are well alive after the supposed dark age in Herodotus' -5th c. as well as in Strabo's -1st c. Even ...

... earth on a large eliptical orbit which brought it close to all of the inner planets in turn (even Mercury.) Dwardu Cardona gave a paper similar to the one he printed on this forum about the history and development of the name of the comet associated with the the Exodus. He pointed out how that comet's name (Typhon in Greek) came to be confused because the Greeks claimed it was the comet named after the Egyptian king, who was Set (Seth?). ...
707. The Feast Of Light. Ch.3 In Fear And Trembling (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... fasting was held; the same took place in the entire area of the ancient East. After a life of studying Egyptian history and religion, Gardiner, the leading scholar in these fields, confessed that he remained unaware of whom Osiris represents or memorializes. Osiris in my understanding was not a king but the planet Saturn, Cronos of the Greeks, Tammuz of the Babylonians. The age of Cronos was the Golden Age; it came to its end in the universal Deluge. The seventeenth day of Tammuz (June-July) was the first day of lamentations that continued for weeks. The seventeenth day of the month also plays a conspicuous role in the story of the Deluge. The ...
708. The Albrecht/Glueck-Aharoni/Rothenberg Confrontation [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... late reign of Rameses II, an era of recognized obscurity.60 Thus Ursu (Yarsu) of the Harris Papyrus inscription who taxed the Egyptians would then be a late king of dynasty XXIII. He is here identified as Osorkon III of Manetho. The difference in the names may be taken as representing a transliteration of the Syrian into a Greek or Egyptian equivalent, respectively. Setnakht's restoration involved only a brief period. He is here allotted 3 years. With the accession of Rameses III falling c. 732 BC., and the 67 years of Rameses II ending 726, the reign of Rameses III overlapped that of Rameses II by half a decade. His reign thus parallels ...

... , I think quite adequately, is the possibility of its being wrong." Since he is a leading authority on the Dark Ages of Greece, we await the evidence from his own specialty against the Centuries of Darkness thesis. It is a surprise, then, to find him presenting no evidence of his own: we hear nothing of Greek stratigraphy, ceramics, etc. James et al. have made a nice try' but they are unlucky' because the scientific evidence goes against them: radiocarbon dates indicate a chronology which, if anything, is older than that generally accepted. Writing in the review feature in Cambridge Archaeological Journal, Snodgrass does refer to two Greek problems ...
