... , and wrote many articles on international affairs, the War, and Near East policies. But more and more he was digging into ancient history. For he had found reason, while in Palestine, for a basic Cartesian doubt of the chronology of ancient times. And he had grasped an almost mystical compatibility among his ideas of Freud and Moses, of his re-storying of ancient Israel and Egypt, of his perspective upon the contemporary turmoil of Palestine, and, yes, even on his view of the forces that drive the planets through the heavens. Velikovsky had civil courage. He never lost political stance. He was not recognisably a politician of a democratic setting. He was ...
162. And it Came to Pass, in the Days of Amraphel King of Shine'ar: Biblical Veracity and Non-biblical Chronology [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of this date is the placement of the Israelite arrival in Egypt in the days of the Old Kingdom, their sojourn occurring through the turmoil of the Second Intermediary Period (Hyksos kings). A "new king," as the Bible tells it, "who knew not Joseph then ascended the throne" the militant XVIIth dynasty. Since Moses was eighty years old at the time of the Exodus, he was born in 1513 B.C .- a year before the death of Thothmes I, when his daughter Hatshepsut (who followed as co-regent with Thothmes II) was still holding the title "The King's Daughter." It is my suggestion that it was she who ...
163. Return to the Paelo-Saturnian Ssystem (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... skins," where taHash is a Biblical animal) and oroth eilim (that is "ram skins")- which makes for another piece of evidence that the Torah is describing an account of the creation of Earth-bound people. Cardona's source, Ginzberg's Legends of the Jews, is not a good one. The percent of Oral Tradition from Moses included in Aggadah (Talmudic legend) is very minimal. Aggadists in every era freely used, reformed, and built on gentile legends and mythology, using them as a vessel for moral teachings. Despite all that, I understand that the above relates to the onset of a paradisiacal epoch. How long did it last? It seems ...
164. Precursors of Quantavolution [Books] [de Grazia books]
... "holding all other factors constant" in place of "is" or "does". That's one kind of problem; a writer shouldn't carry his miasma of doubts to the extent that he is never clear; actually, every sentence you utter distorts the reality of which it speaks. Also, when, after having defined Yahweh and Moses and the nature of their "communications," I may be saying "Yahweh then speaks to Moses," I hope that it is understood that this statement of mine is subject to the prior definition of all three keywords, "Yahweh," "speaks," and "Moses." But the total posture of my work ...
... to turn to the article entitled Hebrew Visions of Hell and Paradise," printed in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain, in the volume for the year 1893. Therein the author, M. Gaster, Ph.D ., translates for the first time into English a number of ancient texts in some of which Moses is represented as by God s permission and help making a tour of inspection through the seven heavens, the hells, and Paradise. Wonderful regions are found and beings of incredible dimensions.1 Closely related to the Rabbinical worldconcept is that of the Koran and of the accepted expounders of the Koran. This can occasion no surprise to anyone ...
166. The Autumn Meeting [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... dating, and again leads back to origins at 3103/3102 BC. In quite a few specialised situations in the Bible, 600' means escape or flight into rebirth, and another oriental dating system was based on such a cycle of destruction and regeneration. Noah's deluge was placed in such a context. The 430 years between Abraham and Moses denotes a legal covenant between two unequal elements, such as God and man. Such numbers, though artificial constructs, have been taken literally in some chronologies. 23 is the number of sacrifice and is involved in the myth of Abraham and the Indian equivalent, Brahma. All numbers associated with Abraham are those symbolic of catastrophe. Jacob ...
167. Velikovsky and his Critics by Shane Mage [Books]
... was pictured as devastated, virtually wiped out, by fire and flood, wind and cold, darkness and earthquake on a scale immeasurably beyond the worst natural disasters recorded in two-and-a-half millennia of history. Our Biblical tradition presents a succession of names indelibly marked with the imprint of supernatural disaster: Eve, Noah, Nimrod, Lot, Job, Moses, Joshua. Ahaz, Sennacherib - every story recounts a miracle as bizarre as the misadventure of Phaethon. For the formerly dominant ideology of the West, Christian Supernaturalism, these ancient stories are still revealed truth not to be questioned on pain of heresy, a stern warning against disobedience to the Celestial God or His Earthly Vicars. The ...
168. Ages In Chaos. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... These hills, looking like a huge herd of gigantic elephants, stretched for many miles along the Jordan. "Actually," I said to our guest, "according to the Book of Genesis, the site of the Dead Sea was a plain in the days of the patriarch Abraham- the Valley of Siddim. But when the Israelites under Moses and Joshua reached the area in their flight from Egypt, they found the lake there. Did not some catastrophe take place besides the upheaval in which Sodom and Gomorrah were overturned? That upheaval is described without mention of a sea being formed." As soon as I said this, an idea came to me: Was there not ...
169. Electricity [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , drives us to believe that their manifestations were much more in evidence. Furthermore, although there are a few indications that the Egyptians may have employed wire on occasion to transmit electricity, unquestionably they were preoccupied with electrostatics, the exploitation of the generous and ready electrical potentials of the ground atmosphere. This I have discussed in my study of Moses. Lately, the ionization of the atmosphere has come to be studied. Even the ground beneath our feet has come to be conceived as a conveyor of waves of numerous types, ranging from the gross seismic tremors that topple whole cities to the delicate motions of the wire in the hands of dowsers in search of underground water [3 ...

For he had found reason, while in Palestine, for a basic Cartesian doubt of the chronology of ancient times. And he had grasped an almost mystical compatibility among his ideas of Freud and Moses, of his restorying of ancient Israel and Egypt, of his perspective upon the contemporary turmoil of Palestine, and, yes, even on his view of the forces that drive the planets through the heavens.
