... of its symbols. It would be rash therefore to assume that the spiral was an exception to this rule. All symbols did not originate in the same way. Some were conventionalized natural subjects, or conventionalized living creatures, or simply characteristic features of these objects or creatures, such as a leaf or branch representative of a tree, the horns of an animal like the ram or deer, the wings of a sacred bird like those of the falcon in the Egyptian "winged disc", or merely a feather of a bird, or the impression of a "bee's foot" to convey the idea of the presence of a god, as a Buddha footprint conveys to Buddhists ...

... may have been in Africa. The rhinoceros however very definitely points to Asia. Once again, as with the giraffe, people have simply thought Rhinoceros - Africa'. But the rhinoceros portrayed at Deir el-Bahri is of the Asian one-horned species, Rhinoceros unicornis, and cannot represent either of the two African species, both of which have two horns. The one-horned rhinoceros has never been attested in Africa but its occurrence throughout western Asia is well-known. Again, this is a fact that Bimson himself concedes. [4 ] Far from proving Punt was in Africa, evidence of the fauna points once again to western Asia. The importance of this cannot be emphasised too strongly for it ...
196. 1421: The Year China Discovered America (Book Review) [Journals] [Aeon]
... by other cultures, or even voyagers, except perhaps for occasional unfortunate Vikings who were somehow blown off course- despite the fact that prevailing winds and currents are in the wrong direction. All the surviving maps- or copies of earlier pre-Columbian drafts- are either considered suspect or outright forgeries. And yet, Ferdinand Magellan made sail around Cape Horn below Tierra del Fuego at the nethermost tip of South America with the foreknowledge that such passage was possible, not to mention the information available to Henry the Navigator early in the 15th century. The Jean Rotz map of 1542, included in his Boke of Ideography presented to Henry VIII, depicted Australia two centuries before Captain James Cook discovered ...

... on twenty geese, killed them, and flew away. The eagle returned and told her that the geese were her suitors Q-CD vol 12: KA, Ch. 1: Augury 26 and that the eagle was her husband Odysseus. When the beggar endorses the interpretation, Penelope is dubious: dreams reach us through two gates, one of horn, the other of ivory. Dreams from the ivory gate are deceitful and unfulfilled. XX:98: A double omen. Early in the morning Odysseus raises his hands to the sky and prays for a pheme, utterance, from somebody in the house, and for a sign out of doors, that his return is approved of ...
198. More on Apollo [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... There is also a parallel for the nine days of darkness in the Demeter myth, where the Earth throws a "dark veil" about her shoulders and wanders for nine days with a "flaming torch" in her hand. I think we know what that flaming light was that illuminated places. Dr Velikovsky has proved the identity of the Horned Star and the Wolf Star and it is probably safe to say that Apollo and his twin sister, Artemis, can now take their place as yet two further aspects of Venus, that most dangerous of the stars in the skies of ancient Earth. The myths even record the end of that peril; for what is Apollo's enslavement to ...
... Dawn. Thoth and Sesheta writing the Name of Rameses II. on the Fruit of the Persea (Relief from the Ramesseum at Thebes) The red colours at sunset were said to be caused by the blood flowing from the Sun-god when he hastens to his suicide. A legend describes Isis as stanching the blood flowing from the wound inflicted on Horns by Set. Cleopatra As the Goddess Isis Isis (seated) Hathor is, according to Budge, identified with Nu or Nu-t, the sky, or place in which she brought forth and suckled Horus. She is the female power of Nature, and has some of the attributes of Isis, Nu-t, and Maat. We next ...
200. The Double Axe and the Celestial Twins [Journals] [Aeon]
... that we are used to seeing in our present skies. "The double axe is first identified, still in stone form, in the fourth millennium at Arpachiyah in Upper Mesopotamia; in the third millennium it appears in Elam and Sumer and also in Troy II. It reaches Crete in Early Minoan times- earlier, therefore, than the horn symbol." [2 ] Perhaps the oldest named divinity associated with the double axe is the Sumerian Ishkur, who is followed by the pan-Semitic figure Adad or Hadad. Thor- the Nordic god of thunder The god Resheph, identified elsewhere as a personification of Mars, wielding the double axe on a so-called razor from Carthage. " ...
