... two gifts: silt and water. The Delta and the narrow flood plain .. . are deposits laid down by the mighty Nile, whose water and sediments are derived from central and eastern Africa. The silt comes mainly from the steep and rugged volcanic highlands of Ethiopia, lashed each summer by the torrential monsoonal rains rolling in from the Indian Ocean. The downpours scour the slopes, scraping off their loose mantle of mineral-rich brown soil and splashing it into the boisterous annual flood of the Blue Nile. The good fortune of Egypt is thus derived from the misfortune of Ethiopia. Added to that silt is the humus contributed by the White Nile from its jungle and swampy sources. ...
562. The Loss of Paradise and the Fall, of Man [Books]
... from another people. The fourth chapter of the Book of Daniel contains a considerably distorted myth of the tree in the midst of the earth', whose height reached unto heaven'. In Teutonic mythology occurs the World Tree Yggdrasil; otherwise this trait is only known, I believe, among the Akawais, Arekunas, Taulipangs, and other Indian tribes of northern South America who tell that the accidental or intentional cutting down of the Great World Tree caused a cataclysm to sweep over the world. The Tree of Life' which was situated in the midst of the garden' was this Great World Tree', the centre-pole of the firmament. According to the two biblical-myths, in ...

... . It, too, is practically universal. It is the sign of the Beast'. The Brahmans still paint it upon their foreheads in the sacred white, U Y , and red, I colours: U U It is essentially connected with water, and rule over the waves. Poseidon1 holds it, and Neptune, and many Indian and other deities. It is the sign of the highest race or caste, of those significantly named the twice-born ones'. Some of the original users of the symbol were indeed born again, for they entered through the jaws of death and hell into the calm of the postdiluvian age. The trident' is also connected with the ...
564. Day Star [Journals] [Aeon]
... [21] Why Venus would be viewed as a star of the "day" is difficult to understand, as the planet is all but impossible to distinguish once the Sun rises above the horizon. [22] Now it is a remarkable fact that cultures around the world have employed similar language to describe the planet Venus. The Crow Indians of North America, for example, referred to Venus as Baappaaihke, a name which signifies "Day Star." [23] The natives of the Polynesian Islands, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, knew Venus as Fetia-ao, or "star of day." [24] Also relevant here is an Indonesian name ...

... and all the guilt feelings associated with these beliefs that the subconscious can muster. From a personal standpoint, I find myself immune to these blandishments. For one thing, Velikovsky stated that the events in biblical literature were historically true, not "literally" so, and that local embellishments by any culture, Hebrew, Egyptian, Icelandic, Indian, or other, were not germane to his thesis. In the instance of water turning to blood, Velikovsky very clearly said that ferruginous rains were the cause, a phenomenon which has been observed with many a volcanic eruption, and in some not fully quantified instances the fall of meteoric material. The plausibility of the fall of manna ...
566. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Manetho stated that Sneferu was the first king of a different royal line'.) If Sneferu can be understood as being that particular Nilus from India, then it would seem that after he took the throne of Egypt he kept open his links with the East. As Mr Gilroy, Director of the Kedumba Nature Display noted, from the Indian Ocean and South East Asia it is only a matter of island hopping to Queensland'. A.H . Rees, Golborne, Warrington Tell el-Daba and Tell Ajjul Further to my letter on p. 59 of the C&C Review Vol. XVI 1994 concerning the transition from Middle to Late Bronze at Tells Daba and Ajjul, ...
567. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Christian propagandists and self-aggrandising Victorians, suggest some historians. There is little evidence for Norse atrocities and they could have simply been migrants. As such they appear to have colonised America 100 years before Columbus got there. A stone tablet dated 1362 and previously dismissed as a hoax, has been reinstated as genuine. It tells the story of an Indian raid on a Viking settlement in the Midwest. A professor of linguistics says There is no possibility of any faking....We cannot close our eyes any more to the fact that there was extensive knowledge of north America well before Columbus'. Meanwhile, back in England, was the defeat of the entire Viking army in ...
568. Night of the Gods: Disputatio Circularis [Books]
... Birdwood's work upon symbol questions was still, he regrets to confess, unstudied by the writer when the MS. was ready for the press, still, several references (notably as to the deduction of the number Seven from Ursa Major) have, even so been inserted and the writer has besides to express his indebtedness to that authority upon Indian symbolism for excellent suggestions and much too indulgent criticism. Mr. Herbert D. Darbishire of St. John's College, Cambridge, an expert in classical etymology, has been good enough to go through some of the work, and to point out the most erratic of my views. Of course he-is in no way answerable for any of ...

... . It was resinous and yellowish: so one inclines to the conventional explanation that it was pollen from pine trees-but when torn, it had the tenacity of cotton. When placed in water, it had the consistency of resin. This resin, ' [the Annual Register states], had the color of amber, was elastic, like Indian rubber, and smelled like prepared oil mixed with wax." '17 On the next page, [64], Fort states: "April 11, 1832-about one month after the fall of the substance of Kourianof-fell a substance that was wine-yellow, transparent, soft and smelling like rancid oil. M. Herman, a chemist who ...
570. The Hermes Connection [Journals] [Aeon]
... Ares/Mars is thus more intimate than one might otherwise suspect. By inference, then, the pukku was fashioned from the red-green branches of the huluppu tree while the mikku was made from the blue-white root/trunk. We still refer to the upper branches of a tree as its crown. The Path In the New World the Hopi Indians of the American southwest shared the attributes of their own peripatetic Massau'u (Masaw) with Hermes Psychopompos, principally as the guide of souls in their afterlife journey, as well as travelers in general, and secondly as a patron of unsavory characters, and an emblem of consecrated fertility rites and other votive symbolism devoted to sexuality.
