... 34] Apart from the obvious association with Phoenicia, homeland of Prince Cadmus-Nikmed, the Phoenix has clear Venus-catastrophe associations. "Blood-red" recalls the color of the great Venus-comet at the time of the exodus.[35] Michael Reade has identified the Phoenix in its original Egyptian form of Benu the Phoenix-bird as a catastrophic agent on the star maps in the tomb of Senmut, prime minister, architect, and lover of Queen Hatshepsut about a 100 years before Akhnaton's time. [36] Io the Cow, driven eastward through Boeotia by Cadmus in obedience to the instructions of the Delphic oracle, had a white full moon on each flank.[37] Were those not moons ...
562. Ras Shamra (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... near the shore of Ras Shamra in northern Syria lifted the stone of a burial vault. In 1929 and in the following years, in twelve seasons of excavation,1 buildings of a city and its harbor were unearthed together with pottery, utensils, jewelry, and the tablets of a library. This obscure place, not even marked on maps, lies to the north of Latakia, the ancient Laodicea ad mare, at a point on the Syrian coast opposite the elongated arm of land stretching out from Cyprus toward the mainland on the east. On a bright afternoon the island can be seen from the hills surrounding Ras Shamra. The place was tentatively identified as Ugarit of the ...
563. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... as regards its general framework, at least, have, perhaps, failed to understand it. Derek Shelley-Pearce, Orpington, Kent Troy and the Dark Age Dear Sir, I was very interested in the article: Homeric Troy and the Greek Dark Age', by Dwardu Cardona (C & C Review, vol. XII). His map of the Troad (p . 5) is invaluable, since it indicates the probable coastline in the first millennium BC. This reply pertains to the justification for the mound of near the village of Hissarlik as the site of ancient Troy. I am 100% on Schliemann's side. Of course, I do not have any implicit knowledge ...
564. Perception and Ancient Astronomy [Journals] [Horus]
... a rotating dome and the persistent observer is led directly by vision to the basic spatial relationships between sky and earth. The importance of these celestial "landmarks" to spatial orientation at night was no less than the importance of landmarks in the terrain by day. This functional utility in survival adds to the likelihood that accurate, relational "mental maps" of constellations were already common tools by the time the earliest formal astronomy entered civilization. The concept of the cardinal points, so fundamental in ancient cosmologies, also was inherent in the visualization - specific places perceived in the 1andscape" and not the intellectual product of astronomical geometry. Only in the North does one see stars circling about ...
565. The Location of Punt/Ophir Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... "stutterer"- because they spoke a click language. See also Meyer's Konversations-Lexikon (1897) which describes the effects of steatopygia,[6 ] a result of the miscegenation of local coloured people with Whites. Their skin colour is described as a yellowish-reddish light brown, lighter than the Egyptians. Jeffreys (p . 7) gives a map of Africa where one sees the Khoisan peoples from the Cape to the Kismayu River in southern Somalia. The Wak-Wak are to be found in the hinterlands of Sofala, between the Zambezi and the Limpopo, exactly where we would expect them. Jeffreys further shows (p . 23) a list of the blood groups that is "revealing ...
566. Quantavolutions [Books] [de Grazia books]
... can be launched against quantavolutionism. India split from Africa, not in a day, but by an exceedingly numerous series of a centimeters a year, as Arabia is pulling away from Africa today - so it is argued. This might be measurable on the ordinary reaches of the scale. So the event, as grand as it appears on maps, was not a catastrophe; besides, the argument goes, it happened a hundred million years ago. This kind of argument is bound to brew trouble. The "when" problem occurs in conjunction with the "how" problem. The "when and how" are answered together. First, an up-strain from below works gradually ...
567. The Knowledge Industry [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , the study of Homeric catastrophe and literature by A. de Grazia, and the collection of readings that will represent, among others, the rest of the collection of readings that will represent, among others, the rest of the faculty. A valuable and unique supplementary bibliography will also be provided, and, finally, a set of maps, drawings, and a special lexicon. Continuation of Project: We would like to begin work on the project as soon as it appears probable that we would have 80 students, and to continue research in connection with, and to prepare for, successive Institutes. Therefore, it is suggested that 50% of the gross receipts from ...
568. Catastrophe and Divine Fires [Books] [de Grazia books]
... is not surprised to learn that explorers have not found a volcano, whether extinct or alive, at any of the sites proposed for the location of Moses' Holy Mountain. The two major contenders for the position are Jebel Músa in the South Central Sinai Peninsula and a mountainous location at the northeastern head of the Gulf of Aquaba (see map of Figure 5) referred to as Mount Horeb. Following Winnett's tracing of the Wilderness itinerary, I am adopting the latter in my considerations, partly because this is in Midian and Horeb is placed in Midian by Ex. 3:1 and Moses has had so much to do with Midian otherwise [62]. Geological investigations are ...
569. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... quite readily that Velikovsky's textual sources do not deal with planets but with various deities that are often associated with planets. However, this identification with planets is not mandatory, because all such deities possessed other astronomical, as well as terrestrial, associations. As Pib Burns at Northwestern University has admonished repeatedly over the years in electronic forums, the mapping of gods to planets is not one-to-one and on-to. Since the Mesopotamian goddess Inanna/Ishtar was not identified exclusively with planet Venus, as many seem to think, the cometary aspects of Inanna/Ishtar (if they are valid as cometary) need not be projected on to planet Venus but may well have originated with a real comet ...
570. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of the time and that the Ark chest may have contained radioactive meteorites. Really? In my view the first is certainly wild speculation and the second is just not scientifically valid. More than radioactivity is required. I bought a copy of the book as it is now available in paperback: good value at £6 , with photographs and maps.I found the chatty style of the book somewhat annoying and it seemed remarkable that after all the expense and nine years of search (according to the book cover blurb) Hancock was finally stumped by the obstruction of the Guardian of the Ark' who appears, to judge by the photograph on page 61 of the book, to ...
