... , Eusebius was not detached and unbiased in his use of Manetho. Eusebius, Africanus, Syncellus and most of the others used and manipulated Manetho to support theological arguments. They all worked from the assumption that scriptural chronologies (usually following the Septuagint) were God-given and correct. They used Manetho to support arguments proclaiming the antiquity of Abraham, Moses etc. over Greek heroes and philosophers. The epitomes and other works of Eusebius, such as Preparation for the Gospels 10.9 and 10.10, suggest that these early Christian writers would not have accepted or used versions of Egyptian history placing the first Egyptian king significantly later than c.2000BC. By their calculations from the ...
542. Schizophrenia and the Fear of World Destruction [Journals] [Kronos]
... of chronology is just as poor as that of the individual unconscious from which ordinary dreams proceed, the prophet naturally interprets his vision to be a warning from God that cosmic catastrophe is imminent.) But with which cosmic catastrophe are we to associate this murderous panic and this "walking like the blind?" The following passage, in which Moses warns his people of what will happen to them in the land of Canaan if they do not obey all the commandments and statutes of the Lord, makes it clear that these psychological phenomena had accompanied the advent of the Venus-comet and the resultant "plagues of Egypt": Deuteronomy 28-27-29: "The Lord will smite you with the boils ...
543. The Legends of the Jews: Volume I - Noah [Books]
... he took with him into the ark, having first enclosed it in a golden casket. All the time he spent in the ark it served him as a time-piece, to distinguish night from day. Before his death, he entrusted it to Shem, and he in turn to Abraham. From Abraham it descended through Jacob, Levi, Moses, and Joshua to Solomon, who learnt all his wisdom from it, and his skill in the healing art, and also his mastery over the demons.[23] THE INMATES OF THE ARK The ark was completed according to the instructions laid down in the Book of Raziel. Noah's next task was gathering in the animals. ...

... work had been translated through Simon's sponsorship), Cyrus Adler (president of Dropsie College, the Jewish Theological Seminary, and the United Synagogue of America; founder of the Jewish Publication Society of America and of the American Jewish Historical Society; editor of the Jewish Quarterlv Review), chief rabbi Hirsch Perez Chajes of Vienna, Anglo-Jewish political leader Moses Gaster, Hebraist David Yellin, Otto Heinrich Warburg (the future Nobelist for his discovery of the nature and modes of action of respiratory enzymes), X-ray therapist Leopold Freund, National Library head Hugo Bergmann, and Simon Velikovsky's old cheder mate Simon Dubnov. And David Katz of Rostock presented a paper concerning special nerve endings that he thought ...
545. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... top could have been a coil. The foot on the boulder indicates the importance of a good earth connection. Finally, since the augur works in the daytime, he throws part of his robe over his head to enable him to study the variations in brightness of the electrical light playing around the lituus. In this context one thinks of Moses and the Ark, as per Alfred de Grazia's study. If there was a "climatic event" in the 8th century BC, then one can understand why an approaching thunderstorm caused Dido and Aeneas to rush into a cave (Aenaeid IV 160), and the rude statues of Hermes found everywhere in Greek towns testified to the effects ...
546. The Reforming Of The Calendar, Part 2 Mars Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the lunar year correspond more closely to the solar year. As we shall see, there appears to be some similarity between this action and that by Numa at about the same tim e. What permanent changes Hezekiah introduced in the calendar is not stated, but it is apparent that at that time calendar reckoning became a complicated matter. As Moses in his day "could not understand how to compute the calendar until God showed him the movements of the moon plainly," so in the days of Hezekiah the determination of the month and of the year became a matter, not of calculation, but of direct observation, and could not be performed much in advance. Isaiah called ...
547. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. Rock of Ages [Books]
... . Here we may see a parallel conception to the Gate-of-heaven dual pillars so fully treated-of under "The Dokana." We have still always with us the same immeasurably archaic conception in the naively pious rhymes Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee.8 A local legend of Clirton in Gloucestershire gives us a Moses myth of this nature in the contest between a hermit Goram, perhaps a local god-the name is a strange reminder of the Guraian Rock just below, and the Spanish saint Vincentius, who clove the Clirton rocks asunder, and so gave passage to the river Frome. 9 It is of course a mere localisation of the celestial myth ( ...
548. Paleo-Calcinology: Destruction by Fire in Pre-historic and Ancient Times -- Part II [Journals] [Kronos]
... only Olympian gods, but Hebrew, Egyptian, Babylonian, Olmec and other gods.(34) Unfortunately, for twenty-five years, the assemblages of ideas and facts of Schaeffer and Velikovsky have been largely ignored by the ruling groups of scholars. Velikovsky, "an extraordinary polymath," in the words of the late Columbia University classicist, Moses Hadas, was subjected to unscientific vilification. Schaeffer, Professor at the Sorbonne and a renowned excavator, has been hardly cited for his magnum opus. Few scholars have been ready to confront the anomalies of their own findings. One exception was Spiridon Marinatos, who plunged to his death in 1974 at the famous site of his work. ...
549. A Chronology for the Middle Kingdom and Israel's Egyptian Bondage - II. Israel in Egypt [Journals] [SIS Review]
... for the break between Thirteenth and Fourteenth Dynasties around viii:10; but it is not there!" [25] The identification of Tutimaios with the king named in vii:13 is also rather dubious. The name found at this point in the Turin Canon is partly missing (Gardiner [26] gives simply ". .. mose"), and the restoration of the name as Dudumose by Farina "is a mere guess" [27]. One, or possibly two, XIIIth-Dynasty kings with the name Dudumose are attested by monuments from Gebelen and Edfu.* Where they should be placed in the Turin Canon is uncertain. Redford suggests that both the above ...
550. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... can be divorced from religio-myth in relation to an actual group of people who may have come out of Egypt, entering the Sinai and Negev zone and eventually settling in transJordan among non-Israelites before entering cisJordan at an indeterminate period afterwards. The wilderness episode is muddied by the 40 year subdivision, and much of the period afterwards. Indeed, the Moses and Joshua stories appear to be artificially joined together and display evidence of rewriting by the historiographer (deuteronomist). Simply by reason the fundamentalist viewpoint is quite inappropriate at such an early period and all too clearly belongs to the highly nationalistic faction that placed Josiah on the throne and eradicated alternative belief systems. The Joshua story, however, ...
