... the hymn to Aten say that Aten rises "like the living sun?" .. .Is there not a similarity between the hymn to Aten and the Babylonian psalms to Ishtar- a goddess associated with Venus? .. .Could the open temples of Aten have been for night-time observation and worship? And finally, are there any linguistic and cosmological relationships between the name Aten and that of the goddess Athena- herself associated with Venus?[19] Before the time of Akhnaton the dreaded Venus-comet, worshiped as Hathor-Sekhmet, in the form of the Sphinx, and associated with the premier god Amon, the Egyptian Jupiter, had already inspired renewed dread in Egyptian civilization over ...
282. Did Artaxerxes III Despoil The Temple In Jerusalem? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... should be emphasised. (a ) It has been suggested by some that the idea of royal alter egos is invalid, the implication being that ancient kings were known by only one name. This flies in the face of everything we know. Ancient monarchs had numerous royal titles, often being known by different names in the different cultural and linguistic regions over which they reigned - e.g . it is widely accepted that Ashurbanipal was known as Kandalanu as ruler of Babylon, whilst his predecessors Tiglath-Pileser III and Shalamaneser V were known, respectively, as Pul and Ululai in their capacity as rulers of the same city. This is common sense: ancient kings derived their legitimacy from ...
283. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... lacunae as dark ages', it is no trick at all to create an inflated chronology that is far longer than its archaeological foundations allow. Clark Whelton, New York, USA. Dear Reader Re: his articles in C&C Workshop 2003:3 and 2004:1 , Emmet Sweeney may be right about Shewa (Sheba) linguistically, but his explanation of Thebes as Shewa may have no relevance at all to the actual situation. The New Testament .. . designates the biblical queen geographically (which Emmet also tries to do with Shewa), because she was not intimately known to readers of Christ's time. [However], I suggest that [since] ...
284. Homer in the Baltic [Journals] [Aeon]
... to reconstruct the stages of the whole battle in a coherent manner, dispelling the present-day perplexities and strained interpretations. Furthermore, we even manage to pick out from a passage in the Iliad [11] the Greek word used to denominate the faintly-lit night typical of regions located near the Arctic Circle. The "amphilyke nyx" is a real linguistic fossil which, thanks to the Homeric epos, has survived the migration of the Achaeans to southern Europe. It is also important to note that the Trojan walls, as described by Homer, appear as a sort of rustic fence made of wood and stone, similar to the archaic Northern wooden enclosures (such as the Kremlin Walls up ...
285. Paradise -- The Lost Frontier: Early Voyages to the Forbidden Isles [Journals] [Aeon]
... inflicted the men of Ponce de Leon upon entering the Florida swamps. According to the dogma of isolationism, Old World diseases were unknown in the New World until after the arrival of Columbus. The net result of all this historical revision that took place in the 17th through the 19th centuries was the impression that all the evidence from history, linguistics, botany, biology, and epidemiology supported the paradigm of New World isolation prior to Columbus. This erroneous paradigm led to further distortions of reality: Old World artifacts found in New World archaeological sites dating centuries before Columbus were routinely ignored or branded as fakes. Orthodox scholars accepted the paradigm as it had been revised by their predecessors as ...
... myths. The obstacles which imagination has to overcome are the associations which are connected spontaneously with "fire," that is, the real burning fire in chimney or hearth, and the kind of "fire" associated with the mentioned "joy stick." Both are irrelevant as far as cosmological terminology is concerned, but they lent the linguistic vehicle which was used to carry the ideas of astronomy and alchemy. It should be stated right now that "fire" is actually a great circle reaching from the North Pole of the celestial sphere to its South Pole, whence such strange utterances as Rigveda 5.13.6 : "Agni! How the felly [n5 The ...
287. The "Forgotten Empire". Ch. 4. (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... palace and also in temple services, for litanies, prayers, and exorcisms.9 The ritual texts either were written in Khattili alone or were bilingual, with a translation into so-called Hittite. Khattili is a rich language; in its inflections it employs prefixes but not suffixes; it is not Indo-European and bears no recognizable relation to any known linguistic group. A hypothesis was offered that the Hittites of Syria and Asia Minor were an amalgam of two peoples, one of which belonged to the Indo-European race. The Indo-European nation might have absorbed the culture and the religion of the older population, its language receiving many Babylonian and Khattili elements. A system of at least three main languages ...
288. 'No Impact': René Gallant (1906-1985) [Books]
... archaeologist, was instead seen as irrelevant in the world of science. When Gallant first met Schaeffer is not known but their careers have much in common. Schaeffer, as an Alsatian, served in the German Navy in the First World War and the Free French Forces in the Second [35] . During the latter, as a fine linguist, he worked in the Allied cryptography intelligence unit at Bletchley Park, deciphering German Navy Command orders [36] . In his spare time he wrote the bulk of his magnum opus Stratigraphie compare et Chronologie de l'Asie Occidentale published in 1948. In this he demonstrated that conclusive archaeological evidence existed for catastrophism during the Bronze Ages in the Eastern ...
289. The Holy Land [Books]
... , in the third a money [i .e ., gold] mill. Then the Sampo ground away, the lid of many colours went round and round. (31) This cosmic mill, too, broke down, bringing wholesale disorder. And if the Finnish Sampo is a late and fanciful version of the mill, the linguists now recognize the Sampo's connection with the older skambha of Hindu ritual. (32) In the Atharva Veda the Skambha (meaning "pole") appears as the "golden embryo" and the "frame of creation," a mill-like edifice "which poured forth the gold within the world." The Vedic hymn equates the mill ...
290. Introducing Anomalistics: A New Field of Interdisciplinary Study [Journals] [Kronos]
... Islamic conquest of the 7th century A. D. The wide-spread use of any language normally results from military conquest, population explosion, or literary prestige. As far as is known, however, the Arameans were themselves a relatively minor group of pastoral nomads. At the time of the overthrow of the Assyrian and Babylonian empires, a well-informed linguistic prognosticator would probably have predicted that their imperial language, Akkadian, would be superseded by Persian or perhaps by Greek but hardly by any of the West Semitic vernaculars. An anomaly of control, finally, is provided by local weather, concerning which we now have a wealth of information but which we can scarcely even forecast, much less ...
