362. The Queen of Sheba (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... the origin of the word "pontiff" (pontifex), what is the origin of the name Punt? In the Scriptures the Phoenicians are called "the men of Sidon and Tyre" or "the men of Hiram"; the name Phoenicia does not appear. "Phoenicians" was the name used by Greek and Latin authors since Homer.86 Rome waged so-called "Punic Wars" against Carthage, which was built by immigrants from Tyre. It is believed that the Greek explanation of the word "Phoenicians" as "the red men "87 is but a successful adjustment in the style of folk-etymology, although the travels of the Phoenicians to the Western Hemisphere and their ...
... [214]; of Gilgamesh's epic and the Exodus [289]; of the clay tablets of Nineveh [269]. Uncritical use of accounts- about the Chinese Emperor Yao, who may not even have existed; from widely different times about events at Mt. Sinai [214]; Ovid's later work tat lien than the original Homer and Hesiod; rabbinical commentaries rather than the biblical narratives [289]. Biased selection- ignoring eight other possible dates for the Mexican New Year, all equally authoritative as the one umsetl [214]; ignoring the reported fission of the moon (Koran) and the sun (Volospa) [139], and many other cosmic ...

... Leo, was her symbol as the goddess of birth. The one season year was known to begin either with the fall or spring equinox (the Eastern custom) as was practised in Sparta and Delphi, or from winter or summer solstice as was practised in the North to this century. That was the custom in Athens and Thebes (Homer: Ode to Aphrodite, 45-200; Apollodoros III, 14, 3-4; Hyginus: Fabels #58, 94, 164, 251, and Poetic Astronomy II, 7 etc). c). There are records indicating that the one season year was actually used for record keeping: (Alan Edourd Samuel: Greek and Roman Chronology ...
365. Kicking The Sacred Cow: Questioning The Unquestionable And Thinking The Impermissible (Book review) [Journals] [Aeon]
... sources thrown in for contrast. Inasmuch as informed readers are all pretty much knowledgeable of many of the details of the controversy surrounding Velikovsky, for the uninitiated it is a rather good exposé of the matter, and much better written than most. There are very few minor errors of fact; the only one of historical significance being that pre-Greek Homeric Achaeans are referred to as latter-day Greeks. A common mistake, concerning which even Velikovsky himself wasn't immune. Considerable space is devoted to the celebrated 1974 AAAS Symposium in San Francisco, but what Hogan didn't know was that this reviewer passed on the names of Velikovsky's supporters for the debate to the session chairman Ivan King, but the only ...

367. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Greek list and genealogy for Sparta. Benny said it was created in the 4th century - all sons of gods and not historical'. Bob asked about the earliest Greek date. Benny said it was difficult to say - historical consciousness started in c. 450 with Herodotus, who said the Trojan war was 800 years before his time and Homer 400 but there are no documents to back this up. Emmett commented this was using the Spartan king list and counting 40 years a generation. Bob asked if Greek king lists could be used; Benny said they could not. Bob asked about the Hittite civil war ending in 1200 BC on the conventional dating. James knocked out 250 ...

... have been punned upon, calling themselves, instead of the sons of Yam (= the Sea), the sons of Ya'in (= Wine)- whose root is the same as the source of the Greek oin-, which appears to be the base of the name "Ionian" (in Hebrew Yauan).I believe that Homer was flaunting his familiarity with both Greek and Canaanite when he conceived one of his most famous epithets, epi oinopa ponton, "over the wine-colored sea." Observe the play on words in ponton, alluding to the most famous of seafarers, the Punt people. Over thirty years ago I indicated35 how Western science had its genesis in ...

370. A Brief Summary of the Evidence for a Gap in the Bible and Much Earlier Dates for Many of its Major Events [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... much earlier sequences about a different period in Egypt? Above all, is it credible that they could have been ignorant of a long period of disaster which struck their nation? Certainly, if there was a gap in their traditions it would disappear without a trace very easily. The chroniclers were writing, after all, at the time of Homer, who also gathered a lot of incidental details from his own experience in order to make his ancient tale more vivid. Before him Herodotus, the Father of History, also put the building of the pyramids in quite the wrong place. In any case it seems unreasonable to expect them to use archaic names for districts like Edom and ...
