... one of which was called Cibola. An army of conquest was formed in 1540, but it could not follow the same route as the tiny Marcus expedition and instead reached the insignificant villages of Zuni. It was concluded that the cities had never existed. A colony was established around Santa Fe which flourished until August 1680, when the local Indians rose in revolt and massacred every colonist that could not join the retreat to El Paso. Therefore, when the comet came closest, there was no white man alive to make any observations in that region. Had the Indians seen the approaching comet? Did it affect their behaviour? Was it the sight of the comet that triggered the ...
452. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the survival of dwarf mammoths on an island in the Bering Sea up until 7,900 years ago; this supports previous evidence of similar survivals on an island north of the Russian mainland. Science Frontiers has previously remarked on a painting in an ancient Egyptian tomb, which appeared to portray a miniature elephantid differing from both the African and the Indian elephants known today. ARCHAEOLOGY Prehistoric Developments (Daily Yomiuri, 30.3 .04; BBC News, 20.4 .04, 19.3 .04; Focus, April 2004; China Daily, 2.4 .04; Peoples Daily of China, 26.3 .04; Washington Times, 20.4 ...
453. Hatshepsut and the Queen of Sheba: A Critique of Velikovsky's Identification and an Alternative View [Journals] [SIS Review]
... great size, and most vanish into the sand without reaching the sea [78]. The coast of North-east Africa, however, does have significant permanent rivers, and it is therefore here that we should look for the destination of Hatshepsut's expedition. Since Hatshepsut claims that Punt lay at the southern boundary of her dominions, a more distant Indian Ocean shore is ruled out. The only other view which does justice to the combination of freshwater and saltwater species in the reliefs is that of Nibbi. Because she locates Punt east of the Bitter Lakes, and also argues for a freshwater channel connecting the Nile to the Red Sea via the Bitter Lakes at times of high inundation, ...
454. The Origins of the Latin God Mars [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Wagenvoort: op. cit. [11], p. 206 13. Ibid, p. 209 14. V. Rosivach: Mars, the Lustral God', Latomus 42 (1983), p. 521 15. Thus Dumezil was able to show that the Latin rite of the horse sacrifice is a close homologue of the Indian horse sacrifice called asvamedha. See Dumezil's discussion in op. cit.

455. The British Connection [Books] [de Grazia books]
... discuss with Sphere Books the Velikovsky Affair and his manuscripts (the same with Margaret Willes of Sidgwick and Jackson), to discuss "Aphrodite's true identity" with James and explain the ideas of an Encyclopedia and the possibility of a Quantavolution Institute, to open a bank account at Barclay's, to edit finally and send Chaos and Creation to the Indian printers, to visit the headquarters of Amnesty International, to visit the Temples in the countryside to see how their garden was growing and where Robert's mind was in the aftermath of his book on the Sirius Mystery, to write his son Chris in Rotterdam and send him some money, to meet Fred Freeman of Liverpool whose ideas on independent ...
456. Samson Revealed [Journals] [Aeon]
... RV 6, 47, 16, 17'wont to help on now the one now the otherhe turneth away from his old friends and, changing, goeth with new ones. '" (110) Nor is it without interest, given our identification of Indra with the red planet, that Mars was ascribed a fickle nature and fiery temperament in Indian astronomical lore. (111) The Latin god Mars was virtually synonymous with the rage and fury of war. A frequent epithet coupled with Mars is saevio, "to rage, be fierce, vent one's rage." (112) Yet as Dumezil observed, it is the epithet caecus, "blind," which best captures ...
457. Discussion Comments From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... history: first, Velikovsky denied completely the Genesis account of creation as presented in the Bible, but of much greater importance, he denied a miraculous basis for any of the wonders- from the plagues of Egypt, to the waters parting and the Earth "standing still," by giving them all natural explanations. Whelton notes one American Indian legend that Velikovsky quoted-quite broadly hinting that it might be only a local event. There are literally unnumbered American Indian records of changed movements of the Sun, and from my files alone, a tome could be written on that subject. A purported conversation with Cyrus Gordon seems to imply that Velikovsky's only reason to equate the Hyksos with the ...
458. Pharaoh Seti the (Great and His Foreign Connections - II [Journals] [Kronos]
... L. Cross (London, 1955); H. Jonas, The Gnostic Religion (1958); J. Doresse, The Secret Books of the Egyptian Gnostics (1960). Since the original manuscripts are in Coptic, and since it is well-known that the Monophysitic Church of Egypt tried to demolish Gnosticism, it is worth recording that Indian Buddhists were sent by the Indian Emperor Ashoka (third century B.C .) into Egypt. This is unambiguously on the Rock Edicts of Ashoka. I would, therefore, submit that Gnosticism is just the Near East's form of Buddhism, and that even the Christian monastic institutes were of Buddhist origin. 11. Cuneiform Texts from ...
459. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Pole Star [Books]
... a judge, who took the place of the supreme judge, also wear his cap and did he wear it because he was ordering a supreme human sacrifice? The Japanese purely Buddhist Yemma, or Yemma O or Yemma Dai O,34 presents a doublet of DaiKoku. Yemma wears "a cap like a judge's beret" arid is the Indian Vedic Yama, the first man and therefore the first and king and judge and god of the dead. Yama is "regent of the South quarter, in which direction, in some region of the lower world, is his abode YamaPura," and he is king of the Law, Dharma-raja.35 But while some nations and ...
460. Did Thutmose III Despoil the Temple in Jerusalem? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... The Egyptian calendar of 365 days was tied to Venus so that every eighth year the heliacal rising of that planet fell on the first day of the month Thot: it was the New Year." (13). It was the same calendar as that observed by, among others, the Greeks, the Incas, and certain American Indians. Velikovsky ascribed the confusion to an erroneous interpretation of the bilingual (Greek and Egyptian) Decree of Canopus (237 BC), which "speaks not only of the star Spdt [Sothis] .. .. but also of the star of Isis - and very mistakenly the scholarly world assumed that both names belonged to the same ...
