... mask, that Moses wanted to play god and, after he had come down radiant from the Holy Mountain, he assumed a sacred mask. Gressmann had no idea of the atmospheric turbulence nor of its affecting Moses' skin; he claimed that priestly masks were to be found elsewhere, whether among the Egyptians or Semitic tribes. By intensive linguistic analysis, Gressmann demonstrates elisions in the Bible where the word "mask" would occur, and says that the word "veil" is a weak and vague substitution of a thousand years later [12]. On the contrary, I find a powerful connection between Moses' perilous sojourn on the mountain, the radiation disease symptoms, ...
302. From Venus with Love [Books] [de Grazia books]
... pages of the SISR, a story is told of how V., following Cicero, claimed the root of Venus to be the word venire, meaning to come', and therefore the planet must be newly arrived, but Lowery, analyzing the words, finds them unrelated, nor is this the first time Lowery and the tribe of linguists dashed cold water against the heated claims of catastrophists. Christoph Marx and Deg independently found a subtle connection that Lowery missed and I take leave to quote from a paper circulated by Marx dated May 8, 1982: Easy to see now how Venus from venire' is quite equal to Venus standing for love' because to love- if ...
303. Intensity, Scope and Suddenness [Books] [de Grazia books]
... model of recent natural history. Perhaps scholars would agree that the following thirteen complex experiences are recited in or can be derived from the earliest sources and from the oral accounts provided by existing belief systems that pretend to refer back to the "beginnings." I imply in each case that proofs of fair reliability are accessible to expert ethnologists, linguists, and mythologists from among the many collections now available from all parts of the world. 1. Earliest man could make out no sharply visible lines between far sky, air and earth; they merged. 2. Earliest man asserted that the atmosphere cleared somewhat amidst a chaos, and that, here and there, the ceiling of ...
304. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... you belong to the people; for you judge between every man, and his brother and his neighbor. If ye are to appoint judges, do so without respect of persons. Do not say I will appoint that man because he is a handsome man or a strong man, because he is my kinsman, or because he is a linguist. ' Such judges will declare the innocent guilty and the guilty innocent, not through wickedness, but through ignorance; and God will reckon the appointment of such judges against you, as a perversion of justice, on account of your respect of persons. If a wealthy man and a poor man come before you to court, do ...
305. Night of the Gods: Disputatio Circularis [Books]
... with one important restriction. Philologia had to come rather as a handmaiden than as a mistress to Mythologic. It will be seen indeed throughout that the skeleton of a myth is employed as the master key of a verbal lock much oftener than any resolve operation is attempted. For it is now at last dawning upon a good few that the linguistic fetters Sanscrit or other-in which divine Mythology has been, for a many recent years, forced to caper for our amazement, might well be hung-up with other old traps of torture, to edify the generations. Words are emphatically not the prime authors of thoughts. The name of a god cannot, you may swear it by the god ...
306. The Mythical History of the Comet Venus (Part I) [Journals] [Aeon]
... in terms of mythical context or consequences (as will be noted in our discussion of this central theme.) "I am mighty through this eye of Horus; my heart is raised, after it has fallen low," declares the Egyptian Book of the Dead.(24) Remembering that the juxtaposition of images was the most common linguistic and artistic tool for maintaining secret identities, the meaning should be clear. In fact, in the more common Egyptian myth, it was the eye that fell- only to be restored after a period of confusion. And just as the Eye was said to have been stolen by Set or the Fiends of Set, these powers of ...
307. Heinsohn's Revised Chronology [Journals] [Aeon]
... the ancient languages of Mesopotamia. He identifies the Early Dynastic Sumerians and the Kassites both as the early Chaldeans. (18) But while Sumerian and Kassite are both non-Semitic languages, they are not identical. Even though Kassite survives only in the names of the Kassite rulers of Babylon and in names on various tablets, that is enough for linguists to conclude that it is not related to Sumerian. At Ebla in Syria a cuneiform archive has been uncovered in a stratum belonging to the time of Sargon of Akkad and Naram-Sin. Heinsohn, of course, dates these texts to the seventh century BCE, the time of Sargon II and Esarhaddon, and claims that they were written in ...
308. The Evolution of the Cosmogonic Egg [Journals] [Aeon]
... us that "The seed of God was the Word of God." (47) Granted that Allegro identified this seed and/or Word as the fructifying rain, with which we do not agree, (48) the philological derivation through which he identified the seed as the Word- that is the Logos- remains valid. This linguistic equation enabled him to state the axiom in the following words: The most forceful spurting of this "seed" is accompanied by thunder and the shrieking wind. This is the "voice" of God. Somewhere above the sky a mighty penis reaches an orgasm that shakes the heaven...As saliva can be seen mixed with ...
309. The Great Terror [Journals] [Kronos]
... the deliberate misvocalization of the name of a pagan god, the consonants, king, being retained and the vowels of shame, used." - see The Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible, III (N . Y., 19621 pp. 422-423 "Molech, Moloch" - Ed.] In Ages in Chaos, Velikovsky made a linguistical Hebrew correction concerning the expression "Sending of Evil Angels" which he rendered instead into "Invasion of King-Shepherds.( '30) In so far as it is permissible to eject the silent letter aleph in "mishlakhat malakhei roim" to correct its meaning from "Sending of Evil Angels" into "Invasion of King-Shepherds," it ...
310. Hatshepsut, The Queen of Sheba and Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... come first) and the names of the Senwosret pharaohs of Dynasty 12 appear in the heiroglyphs as Weser-t-sen. Now if Thebes' Egyptian name is really Shewa (Sheba) then a whole host of hitherto mysterious facts become comprehensible. First and foremost, we now know where the Greeks got the word Thebes (Theba) from. A normal linguistic mutation (lisping) turns s' or sh' into th'. Thus for example the Persians called Assyria Athuria. Secondly, we know why Josephus called the capital of Ethiopia (i .e . Upper Egypt/Nubia) by the name Saba or Shaba. Finally we understand the significance of the name of another cult shrine ...
