... contemporaries. These years ended before the eighteenth year of Djoser who reigned nineteen years according to Egyptian records and began after the thirty-seventh year of Joseph by Hebrew history, since Joseph entered the service of the pharaoh when he was thirty which was at the beginning of seven plentiful years preceding the Seven Lean Years. This puts us squarely on the horns of a dilemma. By the accepted chronology of Egypt, the midpoint of Djoser's reign was around 2660 B.C . However, according to Hebrew history, Joseph was born around 1950 B.C . at the earliest. The discrepancy is about three-forths of a millenium! A history is a recorded account of what happened in the ...
302. The Day the Sun Stood still [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... BC. The Babylonian Empire was marching against the waning kingdom of Judah, and the seer implored his God for a repeat performance of the miracle which had stunned the world eight hundred years before. Habakkuk then proceeded to describe the multifaceted disaster in detail. Yahweh's "glory" illuminated the world (Habakkuk 3.3 ), celestial "horns" (3 .4 ) and a "bow" were seen on high (3 .9 ); a "pestilence" followed these manifestations, along with "burning coals" falling from the sky (3 .5 ). Earthquakes shook the "everlasting mountains" (3 .6 ), new rivers were born and ...
303. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... then rushed hissing against the goddess, checking with the bridle her bulls' white yoke-straps (5 ), while he poured out the mortal whistle of a poison-spitting viper. But Titan Mene would not yield to the attack. Battling against the Giant's heads, like-horned to hers, she carved many a scar on the shining orb of her bull's horn; and Selene's radiant cattle bellowed amazed at the gaping chasm of Typhon's throat." (6 ) Nonnus, although a late source and an enthusiast for embellishing his material, often seems to have relied for much of his detail on older sources now lost, and his account of this myth would seem to be a most fortunate survival ...
304. 'Peoples of the Sea': An Art Historical Perspective [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Ramses III, as well as the dating of objects discovered in the necropolis of Tell el-Yahudiya (Peoples pp. 12-17), parallels similar scholarly disputes previously discussed by Velikovsky. In the 1880's, Ramsay and Petrie argued over the dating of the Lion Gate at Mycenae (4 ), at the turn of the century Murray and Evans locked horns regarding the dating of Cypriot art of the Mycenaean Age (5 ), Dörpfeld and Furtwängler had a bitter feud when it came to dating archaeological material uncovered at Olympia (6 ); the excavation of Tiryns, likewise, gave rise to its share of chronological debate (7 ). In all cases, the common denominator was the ...
305. Propaganda And Scientific History [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of guilt by association, nevertheless, gives us an insight into how Davidson is prepared to deal with and evaluate Velikovsky. More typical of this approach to Velikovsky is his discussion of Robert Jastrow's criticism of Sagan as it relates to Velikovsky, 32 wherein he writes: "Over the next two decades he [Jastrow] and Sagan repeatedly locked horns. The nastiest moment came in the late 1970's when Jastrow wrote an obituary essay in the New York Times about one of Sagan's foes, the recently departed pseudocosmologist Immanuel Velikovsky, whose wild claims Sagan had worked hard to refute. While himself skeptical about Velikovsky's wacky ideas of solar system evolution, Jastrow questioned the soundness of Sagan's criticisms of ...
306. The Primordial Light? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... proto-Saturn as a bright object, sometimes as a "lunar" (56) and sometimes as a "solar" type of deity. Saturn as shown in an early German print The Phoenician Sanchuniathon saw Ouranos as the "enlightener" (57) and made him equivalent to Kronos, whose name he saw as meaning "to put forth horns" or "to send forth rays of light". Diodorus Siculus was also of the opinion that Saturn was a bright object when he wrote: "Saturn is the star of the Sun" (58). In Pali (the ancient liturgical language of Buddhism), Saturn is known as Ravisuta (59). Now ravi ...
307. The Ark Myth [Books]
... Guiana were warned of the flood by the deity Aiomun Kondi, whose name means he who is up above', and who has not been seen again' since that time, though no reason for his disappearance from human sight is given in their myths. According to Indian mythology, thedeluge warning was imparted to the flood hero by a horned fish' which eventually grew to gigantic dimensions: in which picture we recognize a phase of the water-controlling satellite. Also the Gipsies tell that their ancestor was warned by a fish'. The Bununs, an aboriginal tribe of Formosa, tell that in the olden days their ancestor saw a crab being seized by a serpent. Reckoning that ...
308. The Myth of the Tower [Books]
... is certainly logical as far as magical conceptions can be regarded as logical. It is an idea which is not typically Jewish, or Semitic, as it is met with in the mythologies of many entirely unrelated peoples. According to Teutonic mythology, the vault of heaven, shaped out of the chaos monster Ymir's skull, is propped on four horns', each of which is entrusted to the care of a cunning dwarf. The Mexican firmament, according to the Codex Borgia, is supported, caryatid-like, by the four gods, Quuetzalcoatl in the key position in the east, Tlauizcalpantecutli in the west, Mictlantecutli in the north, and Huitzilopochtli in the south. The heaven of ...

... by a cosmic hand in universal rage. In one place we find the foreleg and shoulder of a mammoth- with portions of flesh and toenails and hair still clinging to blackened bones; close by is the neck and skull of a bison, its head pulled off, with vertebrae clinging together with tendons and ligaments and chitinous covering of the horns still intact, and by it the pitifully crushed hand of a little child. There is no mark of a knife or cutting instrument; fragments are simply torn apart. In South America we see the upheaval of half a continent in which the deaths of millions more resulted from extensive volcanic eruptions and vast floods. There, in the ...
... (1 ) and he was drowned. Menabozhu, missing his friend, guessed what had happened, but had to wait two seasons (2 ) before he could avenge the wolf's death. Then he went to the pond, where he could distinctly see the unfortunate wolf's footprints (3 ). At his lamentations the Serpent Chief put his horned head out of the water. Now Menabozhu changed himself into a log. This made the serpents very suspicious. They came out (4 ), and one of them, a score ells in length, coiled itself round the log and squeezed it with all its might. Every limb of Menabozhu cracked (5 ), but he ...
