... as to signification and frequency. They become more important because these related forms will be found in distant countries and among distant peoples, notably among the prehistoric peoples of America. Possibly these designs have a signification, possibly not. Dr. Schliemann thought that in many cases they had. Professor Sayce supported him strongly inclining toward an alphabetic or linguistic, perhaps ideographic, signification, No opinion is advanced by the author on these theories, but the designs are given in considerable numbers, to the end that the evidence may be fully reported, and future investigators, radical and conservative, imaginative and unimaginative, theorists and agnostics, may have a fair knowledge of this mysterious sign, ...
392. The Cosmic Mountain [Books]
... attained stability at the polar centre, take on a twisting, serpentine appearance. And, in fact, the cosmic mountain in many creation epics is presented as a churning, serpentine column rising along the world axis and finally achieving stability. (I intend to explore this churning mountain in a subsequent volume). Here is a fact which linguists and comparative mythologists overlook: in several lands the word for "mountain" is the same as the word for "serpent" or "dragon," though our natural world offers no basis for the equivalence. In Mexico, Nahuatl can means "serpent" but also "mountain," (246) so that one might term ...
393. The Night of the Gods Vol II [Books]
... . 1033 supreme relief from sacrificial death. But, not to be too tender with the human nature of Romans or Burgundians, one cannot help a sly belief that the carni-v-al was originally a " No. t " cannibalistic orgie, a carni-vorous flesh-pot feast of the highest kind ; and that the ending of the word is simply and solely linguistic, as in festi-v-al. This would be bringing closer together the two debateable words carnival and cannibal (of which the latest theories are stated at their best in LittrE and Skeat). The pilae or woollen figures of men which were offered to the Lares in the annual feast of the compitalia, at the " ambulation " (Cicero ...

... to higher degrees of organization, more differentiated, more complex, but at the same time, more integrated. The concept of evolution was soon extended into other than biological fields. Inorganic subjects such as the life histories of the stars and the formation of the chemical elements on the one hand, and on the other hand, subjects like linguistics, social anthropology, and comparative law and religion, began to be studied from an evolutionary angle, until today we are enabled to see evolution as a universal and all-pervading process. Furthermore, with the adoption of the evolutionary approach in non-biological fields, from cosmology to human affairs, we are beginning to realize that biological evolution is only ...

... And yet the original life of thought, born of the same seeds as the Vedas, worked its way in darkness, sent its roots and tendrils through the deep, until the living plant emerged in the light under different skies. Half a world away it became possible to rediscover a similar voyage of the mind which contained not a single linguistic clue that a philologist could endorse. From the very faintest of hints, the ladder of thought leading back to proto-Pythagorean imagery was revealed to the preternaturally perceptive minds of Kircher and Dupuis. The inevitable process became discernible, going from astronomical phenomena to what might be beyond them. Finally perhaps, as Proclus suggested, the sequence leads from ...
397. June 15, 762 BCE: A Mathematical Analysis of Ancient History [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . There was a tremendous backlash against Queen Hatshepsut's memory after her death, with her own son being one of her chief defamers. This era of political and cultural upheaval, coming as it did at the beginning of the Assyrian New Kingdom and just prior to the divisive Amarna Period, was probably one of the primary causes for the subsequent linguistic confusion in the Egyptian New Kingdom- confusion that led, in turn, to the eventual creation by perplexed historians of two separate but equal dynastic lines. 5. Several minor problems of synchronization still remain. Tirhaka/ Horemhab did not ascend to the throne of Egypt until 679, which also corresponded to the accession of Esarhaddon in Assyria. ...
... Haec statio ab Aegyptiis quoque vocatur soleka sive Astrokyon . . . statio venationis." Eduard Stucken (Der Ursprung des Alphabets und die Mondstationen [1913], p. 7) identified this soleka immediately with Egyptian Selket/Serqet, the Mesopotamian Ishara tamtim, the Scorpion goddess. Whether or not this is permissible under the stern laws of linguists, it is a fact that we find regularly on the Egyptian astronomical ceilings Selket standing above, i.e ., beyond, the 410 bull's thigh (Big Dipper), which means that Selket represents the opposition to the perpetual center of attention: Sirius/Sothis. (Yes, we are aware of the circumstance that fourteen ...

... in Collision, retranslated by Pockman, as a sample of his expertise. But, as circumstances sometimes dictate, Velikovsky himself took this sample to a Princeton academic who found Pockman's version objectionable. This was yet another case where academic authority, which Velikovsky seemed to hold in inordinately high esteem, overrode another's intimate knowledge of both classical and idiomatic linguistics. But, fortuitously, despite this, the Diana translation was also rejected. For the March 1977 issue of Industrial Research, my Notebook entry carried a favorable review of Donovan Courville's 1971 two-volume work, The Exodus Problem and its Ramifications. When I next talked to Velikovsky in early April, a full fusillade of criticism was unloaded in ...
