... horses twice in history, the more famous account being the Spanish Conquest, when soldiers riding majestic beasts mesmerized the natives of both Peru and Mexico. Almost the same thing happened in the Eleventh Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, when a pharaoh named Timaois literally gave up his throne for a horse! Numerous archaeological excavations over the years have brought to light, through monuments, sculptures, and scarabs, other evidence regarding Semites on horseback descending upon Egypt when that country was in a weakened state. The evidence shows that they rode in on the first horses and chariots the ancient Egyptians had ever seen. [1 ] Using war chariots pulled by magnificent large horses was the first occasion at ...
432. Astronomy and Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... on papyri, later called "Demotic" script. Thomas Young, an English physician and physicist (1773-1829) who was first to explain color sensation as due to the presence of specific nerve endings for red, green, and violet in the retina of the eye, first to understand and measure astigmatism and first to discover the phenomenon of light interference (the strongest argument in favor of the wave theory of light for which he was much derided), was also the first to read a few words in hieroglyphics the name Ptolemy in the Rosetta stone: that the name was circled in an oval (cartouche) was the first clue. The story of his efforts and successes ...
433. The Astronomical Basis of Egyptian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... same time. Then, of course, the star will not be seen until the angular distance between the Sun and the star - because of this movement of the Sun - has increased to such a time that the star gets above the horizon and is seen in the morning sky before the Sun manages to blot it out with its increasing light. This is what is known as a heliacal rising of a star. It is seen in the early morning light just above the horizon in the eastern hemisphere just before it gets light enough, with the Sun rising, to blot it out. This will occur once a year, because it takes the Sun one year to move ...
434. The Case for Catastrophe in Historical Times [Journals] [Kronos]
... her attainment of the "me's". The term "me" will not concern us here: it is translated by Hallo and van Dijk as "divine attributes" and by Kramer as "divine norms, duties and powers". Thus Hallo and van Dijk give the opening lines: 1. Lady of all the me's, resplendent light, 2. Righteous woman clothed in radiance, beloved of Heaven and Earth, 3. Hierodule of An (you) of all the great ornaments, etc., where An is the heaven god, the chief deity of the Sumerian pantheon. They note that "hierodule" might not be an exact translation of the term in ...
435. Consequences of the Capture (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... edges of the floes to become detrited, and in addition it squeezed up great quantities of water. Exposed to the cold of space, the waters began to boil violently. The satellite was densely wrapped into a cloud of ice- steam, which, owing to the weak lunar surface gravity, was carried away by the pressure of the Sun's light, giving a comet-like appearance to the young Moon. As soon as enough heat had been withdrawn from the water, the cracks froze over. If it had not been for the rotation, and for the fact that the Moon moved in a much more eccentric orbit in its first age than it does now, approaching very close at ...
436. A Survey of Archaeological Evidence for a Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the most complex and massive in the entire history of the site and compact MB houses suggest it was also the most densely populated period in Jericho's history. This does not fit the biblical picture which Courville is anxious to validate. In Josh. 6:26, Joshua pronounces a curse over Jericho after destroying it: May the Lord's curse light on anyone who comes forward to rebuild this city of Jericho: the laying of its foundations shall cost him his eldest son, the setting up of its gates shall cost him his youngest' (Revised English Bible). According to 1 Kings 16:34, which specifically refers back to Joshua's words, this was fulfilled in the ...
437. Addenda Et Corrigenda ... [Journals] [Kronos]
... (Winter 1977) "Velikovsky and Establishment Science" Home | Issue Contents Addenda Et Corrigenda .. .10/77 To the Editor of KRONOS: Since the publication of our paper, "Analysis of the Babylonian Observations of Venus", in KRONOS II:2 , pages 3-26, our continuing work on the subject has brought to light a number of minor changes and clarifications that might be made. We have also found that we made several errors in our Tables I and II, which listed the data recorded on the various tablets. On page 18, at the end of the first paragraph, we would now add: "( unless, of course, the ...
438. Morning Star II [Journals] [Aeon]
... designation- i.e . the Shining One, Son of Dawn- that has led to the identification of Helel as the Morning Star and, by implication, as the planet Venus. For that reason, English versions of the Old Testament have supplanted the name "Helel" with "Lucifer," a Latin name that means "Light Bringer" or "Light Bearer," a designation for the same planet as Morning Star. It should, however, be kept in mind that, in Hebrew, "Helel" does not have the same linguistic connotation as "Lucifer" and, in fact, translators, theologians, and mythologists had no real basis for supplanting ...
... went out of the land, for the Egyptians guarded them in their royal treasure chambers. Their magicians had warned them that whenever Joseph's bones should be removed from Egypt, a great darkness would envelop the whole land, and it would be a dire misfortune for the Egyptians, for none would be able to recognize his neighbor even with the light of a lamp.[8 ] THE ASCENSION OF LEVI When it was disclosed to Levi that he was about to die, he gathered all his children around him, to tell them the story of his life, and he also prophesied unto them what they would do, and what would happen to them until the judgment day. ...
440. Pendulums and Sunspots [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon II:2 (1990) Home | Issue Contents Pendulums and Sunspots Charles Ginenthal 1. The Circularization of Orbits C. Leroy Ellenberger's reply(1 ) to my earlier response to him(2 ) exhibits a good deal of heat but very little light with respect to the evidence. The anti-philologistic remedy- the evidence- strongly contradicts his arguments, and in many instances was readily available to him had he only taken the time to consider more closely and prudently the issues that he raises. Ellenberger claims that I do not understand Velikovsky's prediction, or advance claim, that the Earth's geomagnetic field will be found to reach far into space while retaining its strength ...
