... period, already referred to, when endless summer extended to the poles. "There was a man-bull, ' who resided on an elevated region, which the deity had assigned him." This was probably a line of kings or a nation, whose symbol was the bull, as we see in Bel or Baal, with the bull's horns, dwelling in some elevated mountainous region. " At last an evil one' denominated Ahriman, corrupted the world. After having dared to visit heaven" (that is, he appeared first in the high heavens), "he descended upon the earth and assumed the form of a serpent." That is to say, a ...
102. Pallas Athene, Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... of warriors, a gleaming star,"(7 ) Athene's counterpart in the Assyro-Babylonian pantheon is Astarte (Ishtar) who shatters mountains, "bright torch of heaven" at whose appearance "heaven and earth quake," who causes darkness and appears in a hurricane.(8 ) Like Astarte (Ashteroth-Karnaim), Athene was pictured with horns. "Athena, daughter of Zeus . . . upon her head she set the helmet with two horns," said Homer.(9 ) Pallas Athene is identified with Astarte (Ishtar) or the planet Venus of the Babylonians.(10) Anaitis of the Iranians, too, is identified as Pallas Athene and as the ...
103. Shamash and Sin [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... as seen from Earth, is impossible for the lunar crescent to achieve under present conditions - and that is with the cusps pointing down or, in other words, upside down [10]. What celestial body other than the Moon could have appeared in the form of a crescent? One is, of course, immediately reminded of the horns of Venus, frequently mentioned in Babylonian texts and which, contrary to popular opinion, can actually be detected in clear skies with 20/10 acuity unaided eyes [11]. However whilst the horns of Venus are germane to the Saturnian phenomenon under discussion, the correct identification of Sin can be established without recourse to these Venerian attributes ...
104. Censorship in Science [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... 322, 34, 1987 and Internat. J. Theor. Phys. 28, 669 and 1503, 1989. I sent a brief Letter to the Editor of Science showing that the enigmatic cut-off discovery had been predicted in refereed scientific literature. To my surprise the Letter was rejected. The stated reason was that I was tooting my own horn, which is supposedly against the magazine's rules. However, in a following issue a blatant case of horn tooting (and speculation) was published (Alley and Yilmaz, "Gravitational Theory", Science, 268, 484, 1995). Does it really matter who writes the letter? Is an apparently vindicated prediction of no interest ...
105. Ninurta [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Saturn theory model, as the distance between Mars and Earth decreases, Mars - due to its small size - visually drops from its position inside of Venus, and the stream of gases stretching along the axis from Mars toward the Earth appears first as a stake, pointed beard, sword, protruding tongue, extended tooth, or single "horn" (not the crescent-horn, but the vertical, single horn as suggested by the Unicorn). The cosmic mountain or world pillar is the direct result of this material descending from Mars eventually reaching the earth. Thus it is the hero who raises, or heaps up the mountain as a part of his own identity and in specific ...
106. The Two Babylons: The Great Red Dragon [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... infidelities and licentiousness; the wife of Nimrod was the very same.* Vulcan was the head and chief of the Cyclops, that is, "the kings of flame."** * Nimrod, as universal king, was Khuk-hold, "King of the world." As such, the emblem of his power was the bull's horns. Hence the origin of the Cuckhold's horns. ** Kuclops, from Khuk, "king," and Lohb, "flame." The image of the great god was represented with three eyes- one in the forehead; hence the story of the Cyclops with the one eye in the forehead. Nimrod was the head of the ...
107. The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes edited by Iona and Peter Opie [Journals] [SIS Review]
... goddess Freya and, therefore, the Lady of Heaven. This beetle is sacred the world over and can be associated with the Egyptian scarab and Isis. Even more curious are rhymes about snails. Snail, snail come out of your hole is related to rhymes as far away as China, where it is important the snail puts out its horns, and in Four and twenty tailors went to kill a snail, its horns are described as like a cow's and there is some lethal quality associated with its tail. Could this be cometary imagery? A few rhymes hint of mythological relics. Ride a cock horse has older versions with an old woman on a black horse; its ...
108. The Miracles of the Exodus by Colin Humphries and The Moses Legacy by Graham Phillips (Book reviews) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Phillips claims the new form of Yahweh worship was the version practised in Judah. Other people claim it was introduced from the Northern Kingdom by a small group amongst the refugees that arrived in Judah after the Assyrians defeated Hoshea. The religion of Moses, he says, involved a serpent, a staff and the sacrifice of bulls on a horned altar. He even suggests Moses may have worn horns on his head during religious ceremonies (but fails to ask what on earth they might have to do with a volcano). Moses staff was a symbol of God's authority over Egypt as in Ex 4:20 it is called the rod of God' = the conduit through which ...
109. Moons, Myths and Man [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... The number 666 therefore has an additional meaning and is emphasised in triplicate: escape from the end of the world by a small band of believers. Bellamy mentions the myth of Kronos swallowing his children (p85), and says that it probably refers to the afternoon aspect of the satellite racing through the sky with its jaws agape (the horned aspect), seeming to rush among the debris of its tail and apparently devouring its own offspring. He says that myths about disgorging suggest a continuing disintegration of the satellite (comet). In the Greek myth, Kronos was the last born of the Titans and he mutilated his father Uranus (the satellite) with a scythe or ...
110. Exploring The Saturn Myth [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... a serpent, being equivalent mythical representations of the polar column, according to David Talbott. Both pictures also show four characters within the enclosure. Certainly the ability of Talbott's theory to predict the themes of contemporary Australian Aboriginal art was becoming blazingly apparent. It also came as a great surprise to me to find that the Rainbow Serpent is a horned serpent. The horned serpent, according to David Talbott, is well-known in world myth (though unknown as a terrestrial animal) and is well-connected to the celestial Bull, Cow, Boar, Goat, Ram, etc. However Australia has no horned native animals. Introduced buffalo have gone wild but Tony Swain, lecturing at Sydney University ...
