... the northern zone refuge, a region which was submerged when the tidal belt spread and eventually flowed off. It is a pity that not more of this interesting material has been incorporated into the Book of Revelation# A parallel to the report of Rev.. xxi. 1 is to be found in a passage in the `Assumption of Moses', x. 6: `The sea shall retire into the abyss. ' Also Muspilli (i .e . `Earth Destruction'), the great Old High German `Apocalypse', offers a parallel; it tells that at the end of the universal cataclysm, which happens `when the moon falls', ` ...
633. Atlantis (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... of the red beeves, are, most probably, echoes of the breakdown of the Tertiary satellite, which lived' in, and came forth from, the west, and which became mixed with the Atlantis stories. We find what is possibly a reference to some Hesperidean country in the Bible, Numbers xiii. The spies sent out by Moses into the country of Canaan'-which shows several definite Atlantean traits- returned with, among other things, a cluster of grapes' so heavy that two men had to carry it between them on a staff. Such grapes do not exist; but if, instead, we say that they carried a bunch of bananas- a fruit for which there was ...
634. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... among indigenous elements in Upper Egypt. The expulsion of the Hyksos may primarily have involved a ruling class rather than huge numbers of people, which would indicate semites remained behind. Before locating the Exodus, we should first establish what legendary material has become attached to the story - and a lot of it is evident, i.e . Moses in the bulrushes, circumcision, a massive natural disaster. Nothing more unusual than an earthquake may have occurred etc., etc. Phillip Clapham, High Wycombe, Bucks. Centuries of Darkness?Dear Sir I have just completed reading Peter James' recent book, Centuries of Darkness, and found his arguments for a reduction of approximately ...
635. A RENAISSANCE SATURN [Journals] [Aeon]
... fact that Bacchus as an infant is more typically represented in the arms of Mercury, renders either interpretation of these figures unlikely. Nevertheless, these stories share a common narrative concerning a divine child who has been rescued in order to fulfill a significant destiny. As a category, this group could accommodate the Old Testament story of the finding of Moses by pharaoh's daughter, as well as its New Testament counterpart, the flight into Egypt. Typologically, the sixteenth-century category of the divine infant included another significant narrative whose allusive potential and rich ambiguity of meaning not only paralleled that of Correggio's paired figures but once again related them to the realm of ideas from which the three preceding lunettes derived ...
636. The Creation of Man (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... , he commanded one of his fellow deities to behead him and to mix the clay of the fields with the quickening stream of his life-blood and to create [knead] the shapes of man and of the [higher] animals out of the life-charged paste thus obtained. ' Thus the Bel of Berossus stands much higher than the Yahweh of Moses, for he gives his life that man may have being. This theme of the supreme sacrifice is unique; only Christianity provides a distant kind of parallel. The Maoris tell that the demiurge Tiki acted in a similar manner. He took red clay, drew some of his own blood, kneaded a paste, and formed man out ...
637. Relation Between the Perpetual Calendar Based on the 128 Years Cycle and the Central American Calendar [Journals] [SIS Review]
... about the link between Zeus as the bringer/imposer of a code of moral behaviour, and the Flood of Deucalion. Is there any possible link between that Deucalion (son of Prometheus, who with his wife Pyrrha survived the flood in an Ark), and the Decalogue - a set of moral laws handed down to the Israelites by Moses, who survived at birth in an Ark? Or am I here piling Pelion upon Ossa? What do you think? \cdrom\pubs\journals\review\v1996n2\12calen.htm ...
638. IN THE BEGINNING [Books]
... and he was among the drowned. ' Note 75 - The precise meaning of the word tadh is unknown. It is employed only twice in the Bible, and in either case in connection with salvation from the waters, in the myth of Noah and in the description of the peculiar happenings which have been used to embellish the story of Moses. In the latter, Exodus ii. 3, the wooden vessel which tossed on the waves of the deluge has been tuned down to a balsa of bulrushes which drifted on the River Nile. Note 76 -The actual reference of the nutshells' falling. from heaven is, of courses to the disintegration of the satellite. The myth ...
... Spring Equinox lay in Alpha Ceti, as on the Golspie Stone. Orosius, in his History (I . vi), tells how, 810 years before the founding of Rome, that is to say, circa 1560 BC, when Amphitryon reigned in Athens, the Deucalion Flood took place. Orosius says that at this same time, Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, and "there was intense heat all over the world which men attributed to the transformation of Phaeton." So we see Orosius, the monk, who had access to records long ago destroyed, and whose work was thought so valuable in the earlier days that King Alfred himself translated it from Latin ...
640. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... plains surrounded by lakes and pools. Such primary deities go by many names, either coming from, or going toward, watery seas, as did Kukulcan of the Mayas or Quetzalcoatl of the Aztecs. And, likewise in Egyptian myth, is Osiris, whose funerary boat was associated with the Nile. Or even that of the biblical newborn Moses, whose reed boat was found in the rushes of the Nile, and whose name means simply "child" or "son." But, unmentioned by Hancock, in the Asiatic sphere there is the equivalent Iranian Kai Khusrau, who is associated with Lake Vurukasha (6 )- a watery designation bearing a remarkable homophonic similarity to ...
