... the whole earth without the storm and cyclone of today. Did man see such a falling of exterior waters- rains from the outer ocean competent to make all our rivers and all the seas and fountains and wells? There is another bit of Fossil thought coming down from the cradle time of the race. Some say it was penned by Moses. If it was we will have to give it as much credence as we have given to Homer. He tells us in the second chapter of Genesis, fifth verse, that there was a time in the child hood of the human family when "the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth", but ...
602. Catastrophism and the Mammoths - I (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... 68). Only the ruined Mycenaean feudal estates can be the predecessors of the 8th century born Greek polis if there is no dark age in between. That's why Classical scholars increasingly tend to make clear that the responsibility for dates creating the Dark Age of Greece does not lie with them. I quote the world authority in the field, Moses Finley, from his Early Greece: The Bronze and the Archaic Ages (London, 1981): "There is not a single dated object from the Aegean world which is not an import (and there are precious few of those). All dates are archaeological. . . . The pivots, the absolute' dates, are ...
603. Holocaust and Amnesia [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Reykjavik, Iceland, soon. I have no idea who will come. While in London, I stayed at an apartment only a few meters away from the Jewish Synagogue and college where Hyam Maccoby works, and we had several meetings and a lunch at the best Jewish restaurant in London, Ruben's. He read most of my book on Moses and His Electric God and found it plausible and interesting. He knows the sources very well. I have heard nothing from Charles Lieber in New York, who is supposed to be finding a publisher for the book. We shall probably be leaving Naxos for Athens and New York at the end of June and thus be mainly in Princeton ...
604. Kadmos: The Primeval King [Journals] [Kronos]
... cow and ark exists also in the Egyptian myth of the "voyage" of Osiris. Unfortunately, exploration of the parallels between Kadmos and Osiris is beyond the scope of this paper. Suffice it to say that a true understanding of Kadmos' guiding cow would explain much that is obscure about Noah's ark, as well as the ark of Moses' exodus, an exodus which many ancient writers have rightfully compared to that of Kadmos. CONCLUSION A survey of the primeval kings of the ancient world has revealed that their histories are riddled with elements that can only be described as mythological. Were any of these kings to be considered in isolation, the presence of these mythological elements could ...
... regular alternation of seasons. If there be anything at all in physical law, we certainly cannot avoid this conclusion. How did it ever happen, that the author or authors of Genesis related these facts in such harmonious accord with all those conditions which an annular arrangement of waters necessitates ? How did it ever happen that the " mistakes of Moses " were all made in the line of eternal law ? " Mistakes !" Facts related for what ? To establish a theory which the least variation or contradiction would vitiate? We must value that history, and that historian, that presents what have puzzled the greatest minds of earth four thousand years. Again, we are told there ...
606. Celestial Records of the Orient by Isaac Vail [Books]
... "Hand". Considering the extreme efficacy of the polar hand as an emblem of diestic power, it became an actual element in ceremonials, as is shown in the custom to raise the hand toward the heaven, as was the custom of almost all peoples. "Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven" was the command of Deity to Moses, as I understand it was a command painted as such in the polar sky, as was every word of Deity. The "Hand of God", the "hand of the Lord", the "out stretched hand" of Deity, so often met with in the ancient writings, must have been primitively the all visible ...
607. A Reply to Stiebing [Journals] [Pensee]
... perennially discussed, and never really solved "Homeric question." To illustrate the issue on one example I let the editors of Pensee have the section dealing with Tiryns [following "Scarabs," ed.], the place named by Stiebing. Finally, Stiebing refers to Hammurabi, the king-lawgiver of the First Babylonian Dynasty and says that Moses could not have been as early as Hammurabi, as if I claimed it. He says: "the Age of Hammurabi (or of his contemporary, Shamshi-Adad of Assyria) must be about the seventeenth century B.C . or earlier." Yet, "it is almost impossible to place the Hebrew Exodus as early as the ...
608. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... and the Germanic verb faran . These are very well established as exactly the same word. 10. But Bahn and bum ? Cicero's character Cotta justifiably ridicules his antagonist's attempt to derive "Neptune" from nare (to swim) see my article, cited above - and Patrick Moore has made fun of Dr Velikovsky by supposing he would equate Moses with Middlebury by simply amending all but the first letter. Bahn and bum also share their first letter; so do "cat" and "candle".... As to the Indo European root for "come", quoted from Partridge as " gwen-", I am sure Partridge knows better. It should be ...

... being in the naos, the worshippers outside, with their backs to the sun, could see the high priest by means of the sunlight reflected from the jewels[9 ] in his garments, thus referred to by Josephus: "I will now treat of what I before omitted- the garment of the high priest, for he [Moses] left no room for the evil practices of [false] prophets; but if some of that sort should, attempt to abuse the Divine authority, he left it to God to be present at His sacrifices when He pleased, and when He pleased to be absent. And he was willing this should be known, not to ...
