... the theologians (priests and shamans) whose invested interests assured the preservation of the ancient links. It is only among the later Greeks, or their immediate ancestors, that the planets' identity came near to being forgotten, a situation that was much worsened by the new style of poetry that came into vogue with the likes of Hesiod and Homer who were, perhaps, more guilty of humanizing the ancient deities than anyone else who had gone before them. It was this state of affairs that occasioned Aristotle to re-affirm the belief that the planets had once been gods. As he wrote: A tradition has been handed down by the ancient thinkers of very early times... ...

... in ancient Greece, which is interesting. However Bernal chooses to identify Memnon with a black hero, the Egyptian conqueror Sesostris, as recorded by that illustrious historian and tourist, Herodotus. Bernal seems to trust Herodotus in the same fashion as extreme revisionists such as Lasken, Sweeney, Heinsohn, Illig etc. Strange. Memnon pops up in Homer, summoned by King Priam of Troy; clearly he was just another of the gods, called on by Trojans and Greeks alike. Presumably this accounts for the actual name of Aga-memnon = great Memnon' (according to Bernal), a name form similar to Ashur-dan and Ashur-rabi = great Ashur'. At this point it is worth ...

... likely to have been the site of the Trojan harbour than to the north at the entrance to the Dardanelles. A graveyard in the region dating from the time of Troia VI, assumed to be the time of Homer's Troy, revealed cremated remains. Evidence for cremation in the late Bronze Age has been rare and it has been assumed that Homer, writing supposedly 600 years later, when cremation was the rule, simply transferred his cultural habits to his forebears. A Neolithic settlement nearby suggests that the site of Troy itself will eventually prove to date back to the 5th millennium BC. Troy's wealth appears to have been generated by trade from as far away as Afghanistan in the east ...

... Troy is not an historical war but is essentially a myth. It is apparently depicted on Aegean pottery many centuries before the end of the Late Bronze age, the conventional location of the Trojan war with its Trojan Horse, and this may explain why the site of Troy, Hissarlik, is so small in comparison with the Troy described by Homer. The name of Troy is associated with Bulls. It recurs in Turin in Italy and Etruria and with the maze or labyrinth, such as the Minotaur legend of Crete and the turf mazes of Britain, Scandinavia and western Russia. In Wales these were known as Troy towns. A maze is supposed to be discernible as a series ...

... effect: Look on me, and fear the gods. ' Godley inserts the following interesting footnote: "This is Herodotus's version of the Jewish story of the pestilence which destroyed the Assyrian army before Jerusalem. Mice are a Greek symbol of pestilence; it is Apollo Smintheus (the mouse god) who sends and then stays the plague in Homer, Il.1 . It has long been known that rats are carriers of the plague." This, of course, throws quite a different light on the proceedings to V's planetary simulacrum, and personally I find it much more convincing. I have said it before, but I will say it again : I find it difficult ...

... BC, evidence of a battle on Paros in 730 BC, written about by the poet Archilocus 50 years later, has been found in the form of mass burials of 150 warriors. There were also 2 vases depicting the battle, but among the hoplites with round shields was an old-fashioned' warrior with a figure-of-eight shield, as described by Homer for the Mycenaean period hundreds of years earlier. Another anachronistic find is a gold face mask from 5th century BC Bulgaria – the only trouble is that the mask is just like the Agamemnon' mask from Mycenae!
