... their own scheme and disregard the views of other authors. Can some of these researchers not find some common ground, some common areas of agreement? Do we not have to come to agreement that certain basic matters are held in common - e.g . that a historical Solomon existed, or that the Exodus took place with a historical Moses in command? Another aspect is the need for authors to take into account the progress of their subject. Ideas may have been refuted previously and they must counter that refutation, not just disregard it. The recent citing of the Oera Linda book is a case in point. This book had been shown to be a forgery back in ...
... temple. 4. Now it came to pass that the Alexandrian Jews, and those Samaritans who paid their worship to the temple that was built in the days of Alexander at Mount Gerizzim, did now make a sedition one against another, and disputed about their temples before Ptolemy himself; the Jews saying that, according to the laws of Moses, the temple was to be built at Jerusalem; and the Samaritans saying that it was to be built at Gerizzim. They desired therefore the king to sit with his friends, and hear the debates about these matters, and punish those with death who were baffled. Now Sabbeus and Theodosius managed the argument for the Samaritans, and ...
193. Ancient Near Eastern Chronology: To Revise or not to Revise? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the storyline, (the alternative is to deny it took place). Religio-myth seems to have been attached to an historical event- in much the same way as the cosmic myth of Romulus and Remus has been attached to the story of the foundation of Rome. We might imagine that religio-myth is also affixed to the description of the person Moses, the central character in the storyline. The idea that horns grew out of his head has obvious cometary parallels which indicates Moses has absorbed some divine characteristics which might be further demonstrated by the addition to the storyline of the religio-myth of the inauguration of the rite of circumcision. It is unlikely that this rite originated in the second millenium ...

... Darius, who had admonished him to give the Jews the opportunity of rebuilding the Temple. When the first sacrifice was to be brought by the company of Jews who returned to Jerusalem under the leadership of Ezra, and set about restoring the Temple, they missed the celestial fire which had dropped from heaven on the altar in the time of Moses, and had not been extinguished so long as the Temple stood. They turned in supplication to God to be instructed by Him. The celestial fire had been hidden by Jeremiah at the time of the destruction of the Holy City, and the law did not permit them to bring "strange fire" upon the altar of God. ...
195. TOWARDS A SCIENCE OF MYTHOLOGY: VELIKOVSKY'S CONTRIBUTION [Journals] [Aeon]
... . According to this view, myth was to be interpreted as the spoken or written correlate of things done in ritual. The myth of Osiris' death and dismemberment, for example, was interpreted as providing the rationale for an Egyptian harvest-ritual commemorating the annual death of the vegetation-spirit. (8 ) Although Freud wrote little upon myth himself- Moses and Monotheism being perhaps his deepest foray into the area- his psychoanalytic writings had a profound influence upon the ideas of other scholars such as Jung, Roheim, and Rank, each of whom devoted extensive works to uncovering the psychological determinants of myth. The writings of Jung and Rank, in turn, exerted a formative influence upon subsequent ...

... wisdom, knowing that wisdom once in his possession, all else would come of itself. (18) His wisdom, the Scriptures testify, was greater than the wisdom of Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the three sons of Mahol. This means that he was wiser than Abraham, (19) Moses, (20) Joseph, (21) and the generation of the desert. (22) He excelled even Adam. (23) His proverbs which have come down to us are barely eight hundred in number. Nevertheless the Scripture counts them equal to three thousand, for the reason that each verse in his book admits of ...
197. Theophany, Part 1 Venus Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... 3,000 miles away, the farthest distance travelled by sound recorded in modern annals.(2 ) In the days of the Exodus, when the world was shaken and rocked, and all volcanoes vomited lava and all continents quaked, the earth groaned almost unceasingly. At an initial stage of the catastrophe, according to Hebrew tradition, Moses heard in the silence of the desert the sound which he interpreted to mean, "I am that I am.(3 ) "I am Yahweh," heard the people on the frightful night at the Mountain of the Lawgiving.(4 ) "The whole mount quaked greatly" and "the voice of the trumpet sounded ...

... ) he had borrowed from Stekel. Velikovsky suspended that project because he had meanwhile "become captivated by the recognition that grew into the themes" he developed as Worlds in Collision, Ages in Chaos, and his other American works. He left Palestine in order to research the projected "Freud and His Heroes," a historical examination of Moses, Oedipus, and the heretical pharaoh Akhnaton. Velikovsky (1983:28) described the germ of his conception: "A very unusual idea struck me when I studied the life of Akhnaton: It appeared to me that I had found the historical prototype of the Oedipus legend." But- assuming that contemporary historians were correct in ...

... interpretation, Sagan then throws in his classic derisive remark-"The only thing that does not seem to drop from the comet is cholesterol to harden Pharoah's [sic] heart" --and misspells the word Pharaoh in the process, as he does throughout his paper. Sagan (p . 20): ". . . at the moment that Moses strikes his staff upon the rock, the Red Sea parts . . . . Then, when the Hebrews have successfully crossed, the comet has evidently passed sufficiently further on for the parted waters to flow back and drown the host of Pharoah [sic]." In addition to making mistakes with regard to Worlds in Collision, Sagan ...

... und das Neue Testament (The Gods of Babylonia and the New Testament, 1905). He was also able to make a significant contribution to Biblical chronology, explaining the ancient usages regarding the calendar and fixing distant events to the exact day. His collected thoughts on this appeared in a volume whose title bears witness to its scope: Von Moses bis Paulus: Forschungen zur Geschichte Israels (From Moses to Paul: Studies in the History of Israel, 1922). This included a good deal of new data he had gathered from his readings of cuneiform tablets. As Stecchini reports, Kugler also took the field against the astralmythological theories of Panbabylonism. These "extravagant views . . ...
