... home of the gods, the motherland of the deities Uranus and Cronus-Saturn among other divinities, and yet without being able to boast one cromlech or any signs of Saturn so frequent in Britain! On the admission of Sir John Evans, who discovered the site of what he proclaimed to have been the "mighty city" of Gnossos, as Homer describes it, and Mosso, too, nothing earlier can be traced than the Neolithic Age, if that! Very peculiar, to say the least of it! For, astonishing as it may seem, we find this characteristic civilization much farther afield. In India, at Hyderabad, Mysore, Chota Nagpur, and along the Malabar ...

... , "Geoffrey's name is, to serious historians, mud."*(28) [* The reader may be interested to know that it was this journal's Editor-in-Chid who was responsible for the original objection.- The Ed.] I did not need Mary Stewart, of all people, to tell me that. No one takes Homer seriously as an historian either, but Velikovsky has shown that the most incredible parts of the Iliad are potentially verifiable where its more mundane data is not.(29) It has long been known that Geoffrey of Monmouth drew his material from confused traditions. In my article, I used that material very much in the manner that Velikovsky ...
405. Site Destructions and Discontinuities in the Bronze Age [Articles]
... - This is what they thought was the great battle scene, and when they found it, they said, aha, we have it, the story of Plato tells of how the Athenians' great feat was conquering this power, the power of Atlantis.- And here are soldiers wearing the boars' head helmet which is described in Homer, it's made of boars' teeth and these are shields, and these could be Myceneans or Greeks.- This river interests me very much because no river like that ever grew on any Mediterranean island and no trees grew like that. This is obviously an African river, probably the Nile itself, we've got characteristic African date palms ...
406. Reconsidering Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... at the turn of the 6th century BC. He went on to confirm that there is no gap between Bronze and Iron Age strata, when the Dark Ages' are supposed to have occurred. He reminded us of the dependence of early dating on a false correlation with Egyptian history. He referred to the work of Schaeffer and Findlay and Homer as well as the Greek story of Deukalion, all providing proof of ancient catastrophes, such as the report that the Olympic Games were founded 50 years after Deukalion's flood, and in fact, the prehistoric site of Olympia was twice destroyed by floods. There has been no recent attempt by orthodox science to correlate archaeology and tradition, which ...

... happened, that by use of that highly suspect technological method of radiocarbon dating it should certainly be possible to tell the difference between, say, the Old and the Middle Kingdom'. Steven Robinson's article On Dating the Trojan War' is most interesting and valuable. In this connection I would like to quote from Prof Cyclone Covey's book, Homeric Troy and the Sea Peoples (Lakemont, Georgia, 1987): "Plato stated as fact (Laws III.685) that Troy at its capture was a portion of the Assyrian Empire. .. .

408. Velikovsky in Shakespeare [Articles]
... a new or errant course, the parallels are suggestive, as if the appearance of what seemed to be a giant serpent in the sky marked the apparent end of celestial stability. This also accords well with Cleopatra's role as Eve to Antony's as Adam, which Davidson also establishes. She is also Circe, as described in Chapman's translation of Homer, holding out a cup full of sensual pleasure which transforms men into beasts - or stable planets into unstable bodies - and we are told her poison is associated with sweetness. Not surprisingly, Chapman's translation describes Circe disguising her "harmeful venoms" with honey as well as with other nourishing food and drink.[36] We might ...
409. The Restoration of Ancient History [Articles]
... ' and later Greek historians' dates ( -1150 to -330)?. This happened as early as the 2nd century CE. In that time Jewish and Christian chronographers established what today is called comparative world history. It began with the comparative history of Greeks and Jews. This comparison focused on the question if Moses was more ancient than Homer. The basis to decide this contest was written material whose correctness was not doubted. Stratigraphical research to check the dates of Bible and Ilias still had to be waited for another 1,700 years. Since dates used in the Bible simply were earlier than the Greek dates, the latter lost the competition for the earlier periods of civilization ...
410. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the idea that 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 ...
