... his statement, though Sagan's own ignorance lends truth to the former part. Sagan (p . 17): Sagan says that "on page 179 [of W in Cl is enunciated a principle that when two gods are hyphenated in a joint name, it indicates an attribute of a celestial body- as, for example, Ashteroth-Karnaim, a horned Venus. . ." If one turns to p. 179 of Worlds in Collision, absolutely no principle is enunciated along the lines that Sagan claims; and Velikovsky's presentation has once again been distorted by Sagan. Ashteroth-Karnaim was indeed a descriptive name, but Ammon-Ra (referred to by Sagan on p. 18) was a syncretic name ...
252. Paired Sets in the Hebrew Alphabet [Journals] [Aeon]
... , shaggy" (cf. Syrian Arabic sa'ar , "hair"; Middle Egyptian snw, "hair, grass") and the 21st letter of the alphabet, sin/shin. (67) Moran also pointed out that the 21st Chinese lunar station, with which sin/shin , according to him, coincides, means "horn" (recall Hebrew sen, "tooth, tusk, ivory") and can itself be correlated with Capricorn the "Goat's Horn" of the Zodiac. (68) As with qoph and res, the related notions of "head" and "prince" can be associated also with sin/shin and taw. Hebrew sar ...
253. The Two Sargons and Their Successors (PART ONE) [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Archaeology has also furnished us with portraits of both Naram-Sin and Esarhaddon. Naram-Sin's stela, commemmorating his victory over the Lulubum, a crude copy of which was also sculpted on the rocks at Qara Dagh, (136) is well known. It is among the most famous of Mesopotamian reliefs. On it, Naram-Sin is shown wearing the horned helmet of divinity and what can best be described as a long loin cloth, leaving his arms, entire torso, legs, and half his buttocks bare in a splendid barbarism that has been dramatically recaptured by the artist, Louis Glanzman, in his depiction of Ebla's destruction. (137) This is so unlike the portrait on the ...
254. El-Arish Revisited [Journals] [Kronos]
... Ra Harmachis [fought] with the evildoers in this pool, the Place of the Whirlpool, the evil-doers prevailed not over his majesty. His majesty leapt into the so-called Place of the Whirlpool?" (Velikovsky's quotation stops at this point.) "his legs became those of a crocodile, his head that of a hawk with bull's horns upon it: he smote the evil-doers in the Place of the Whirlpool? in the Place of the Sycamore." Velikovsky was right about the "exceptional circumstances", but the text has nothing to say about the death of this pharaoh. Indeed, his magical transformation seems to have made him invincible. Griffith's "Place of the ...
... and trade, was the god of good fortune, the protector of travellers by building good roads, and so in his honour at all crossroads were erected Hermae, pillars of either stone or wood, sometimes as a crude stone, at others sculptured with the torso and head of the god, always with his symbol of the Rams' horns. He safe guarded mariners especially and invented the mariner's compass. He was the presiding deity over the Cabin. A curious phase of his ubiquity was discovered at Corstopitum, Northumberland, near Corbridge, a buried city of pre-Roman date, adorned with paved streets, granaries, buildings, fountains, and a flagged pavement in the Agora worn ...
256. Aster and Disaster: The Golden Age - I [Journals] [Kronos]
... cross a stream or other separating interval.(31) The axial representations which consist of isolated organs rather than of complete organisms, while equally vertebrate, tend to come from mammals rather than from cold-blooded animals. Reading from head to tail, we encounter any or all of the following body-parts as icons of the axis: 1. a horn 2. a tusk 3. an arm 4. a spine 5. an umbilicus 6. a penis 7. a leg 8. a tail What all of these organs have in common, of course, is their elongated shape and their extensive or connective function. Beyond that, however, it may be noted that mythic horns ...
257. The Great Terror [Journals] [Kronos]
... hatred. Typhon, who had caused the Egyptian plagues, and Moses, who was thought to have conjured him up, were merged by the ancient onlookers into a single agent. As so often happened in antiquity, the celestial model and its earthly representative were invested with the same symbols (e .g ., Moses was given the horns of Venus There were, then, a considerable number of factors in cultural experience and historical sources which lent themselves to the identification of Moses with Typhon, and Manetho had only to repeat an old notion when he merged Moses with Typhon (20) It is worthwhile to remember that Schelling recalls, on the authority of Plutarch, that ...
258. The Afar Triangle As the Nether Reaches of Eden and Babel [Journals] [Aeon]
... if there was no contact, then the obviously-matching shorelines would of course have to be dismissed as due to coincidence, and the entire enterprise would fail. In order to save this situation, there might have to have been a considerable distortion of at least one of the three plates, presumably the east African one, so that the "horn" could (as it does) jut out at more of an angle with respect to Arabia. (The renowned "horn" of Africa is the easternmost point of the east African subplate; see Figure 6.) But this sort of distortion is ruinous for drift theory. If one of the more recent events in the drifting ...
259. Beliefs Connected with the Cross and the Swastika [Books]
... , it signified that a man was holy or deified when shown on some part of his body or image or clothing. Holy animals were distinguished as such by having the swastika depicted on or near them, and sometimes the swastika was a symbol of the deity, as were the pillar, the mountain, the holy tree, the double horns, etc., with sacred animals in heraldic opposition (figure 15, b and c).35 Other symbols were used in like manner. Fig 15a. Fig 15b Fig. 15c The Apis bull of Egypt had its sacred symbolic markings, and so had the sacred animals of the Sumerians and Babylonians. The pre-Columbian deities of ...
260. Did Artaxerxes III Despoil The Temple In Jerusalem? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... clerics hold the name Cyrus in contempt. They honour Zoroaster and the monotheistic religion of Achaemenid times but Cyrus is not identified with this noble faith: he is identified with the Macedonian destroyers of Iran and her culture - with Alexander no less. One of Islam's holy books specifically links Alexander with Cyrus: Alexander had a hairstyle curved like two horns, as did Cyrus. In Daniel 8:6 [we read]: and he came to the ram with two horns'. The last word in Hebrew is Karanaim': krnym. In Arabic it is Zialgharein or Zelgarne or Zeiranain .. . Many Arab and Persian scholars have referred to Zelranain as Alexander who destroyed Persian ...
