... . The Turin Royal Canon credits him with upwards of ninety years. One version of the epitome of Manetho indicates that he began to reign at the age of six and continued to a hundred. ' Although modern scholars have questioned this, it remains to be disproved." A more perfect match could hardly be asked for. And in light of it, it behooves Rees to explain why the Midrashim support an 18th Dynasty Exodus rather than a 6th Dynasty one. Also, his ideas of equating characters in Greek mythology is confusing. Is Rees trying to mythologize Israelite history or de-mythologize Greek mythology? Is he suggesting that the Patriarchs were Greek? Or Indian? Does his equation ...
562. Catastrophes in the period 5th cent. BC to 14th cent. AD [Journals] [SIS Review]
... on Iona, the island of Doves. In Greek, ione = dove and the Ionians venerated doves. Iona was also known as the island of Yews, according to Adomnan, indicating a pre-Christian cult associated with it. According to Harold Bayley in Language and Symbolism, the divine dove was commonly depicted with outstretched wings and rays of radiating light (indicating it shone brightly). In the Bible a dove was associated with the Ark, a boat floating on waters (from a human perspective) or a comet riding a train of meteoric material (in the heavens). In Wales the 3 stroke broad arrow ® was a bardic hieroglyph for god, or an act of ...
563. Egyptian Chronology: A Solution to the Hyksos Problem [Journals] [Aeon]
... He even makes the Bedouin tribes subject to his authority. He is also described as a powerful commander, providing more than 300,000 men with shields, spears, armour, bows and slingshots. The extensive naval and sea-trading activities attributed by the Bible to King Solomon probably also began only with Azariah, and may well cast a new light on the intensive harbour works at Tell el Daba. Now, it may well be asked where the fortified roads of the southern Palestinian king Azariah led; and thoughts must inevitably turn to the domains of Arsu the Asiatic, who is said to have ruled in Egypt. The predominantly Asiatic stratum F at Tell el Daba- according to ...
... certain village which was called Aras. It belonged to Ptolemy, and on that account was plundered by the Arabians, who were very angry even at Herod's friends also. He thence marched on to the village Sampho, another fortified place, which they plundered, as they had done the other. As they carried off all the money they lighted upon belonging to the public revenues, all was now full of fire and blood-shed, and nothing could resist the plunders of the Arabians. Emnaus was also burnt, upon the flight of its inhabitants, and this at the command of Varus, out of his rage at the slaughter of those that were about Arias. 2. Thence ...
565. Mother Goddess and Warrior-Hero (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... the love goddess and the world devouring hag (later the witch). Mars is, on the one hand, the loyal servant of the sun god and, on the other, the agent of the god's fall or death. Investigation will also show that in the earlier versions of these figures, the sources will tend to accommodate the light and dark aspects, while in later renditions one or the other is more likely to dominate, a process typical of the fragmentation and dilution of myth over time. It is also impossible to miss how consistently the mother goddess and warrior-hero are brought together as consorts: the young warrior who wins the daughter of the king or takes as ...
566. Paradigm Lost? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... vanquished fail and die and the victorious survive and prosper be beneficial for the race? ' Misunderstanding is again apparent when he takes issue with a passage in the 1984 edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica which reads: A black mutant of the peppered moth Biston betularia was found at Manchester in 1848. Until that time the prevalent form of the species was light grey with dark speckles'. Milton claims that the writer (Theodosius Dobzhansky, one of the founders of the Modern Synthesis) was saying that the black form did not exist before 1848, when trees started to darken as a result of the industrial revolution, but was then covering himself against possible contradiction by allowing that it might have ...
567. Velikovsky and Catastrophism: A Hidden Agenda? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Jewry during this period, and then narrow our focus to 19th-century Russian Judaism and finally to the individual, we will be able to perceive that everything Velikovsky wrote, his scientific and psychological books as well as his historical reconstructions, may derive from this single over-riding nexus. If true, this will place the Velikovsky story in a significant new light. To deduce Velikovsky's stance vis-a-vis Judaism, we begin with a number of conditions that exerted strong pressure upon him. The first and most obvious is the scientific climate in Europe in the last half of the nineteenth century. In a word, if Lyell and Darwin were correct about the history of geology and biology, the Bible was ...
568. Child of Saturn (Part V) [Journals] [Kronos]
... find Anat identified as the Babylonian Ishtar,(11) whose Venerian identity has never been contested.(12) Anat's identity as Venus can therefore be considered as established. We ask then: Whose child was Anat? The answer is not hidden. As William Albright explained: "The figure of Anath can be better understood in the light of several Egyptian accounts of the goddess, questionably translated from an original Canaanite myth . . ." (13) In one of these Egyptian accounts, Anat's father is alluded to as Re (or Ra).(14) That the Egyptian Ra was originally Saturn, I have already indicated elsewhere.(15) But, ...
569. Dating the Great Mahabharata War: A Previously Neglected Clue [Journals] [Kronos]
... very similar sequence is recounted in II KINGS 20:9-11 : 9. And Isaiah said, This shall be unto thee the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he hath spoken. Shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? 10. And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. 11. And Isaiah, the prophet, called unto the Lord; and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it [the sun] had gone down in the dial of Ahaz. [Also see Isaiah ...
570. El-Arish Revisited [Journals] [Kronos]
... there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings."(2 ) Writing in Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky finds in the el-Arish inscription "the same description of the darkness as Exodus 10:22", and he quotes: "The land was in great affliction. Evil fell on this earth.... There was a great upheaval in the residence ...
