... be to pursue a general theory, such as the Ice Ages or, I think, a great lunar eruption, and build hypotheses and information upon it. The legendary voices are worth an audience. Alexander Kondratov, a Soviet linguist and compiler of legendary and geological evidence of the sinking of lands, writes [2 ]: China's oldest myths tell of a war between the god of fire and the god of water at the beginning of the world. ' The mountains erupted fire, the earth quaked and the sea attacked the land. When the fire god was defeated he decided to commit suicide and struck his head against the highest mountain in the west. The frightful blow ...
302. The Reconstruction of Cosmic History [Journals] [Aeon]
... sermon often enough in my past writings on the subject, it is gratifying to learn that this dictum has more recently been repeated by another competing exponent of cosmic history. Thus Frederic Jueneman has made it clear that while the model of his conception "is simple in construction... it must, nevertheless, conform to the message of myth."(10) His counsel on this was worded in the following manner: In a metaphorical sense, the tapestry of myth is intricately woven, and each thread must be followed to wherever it leads, however improbable the initial appearance.(11) More than that, Jueneman has also accepted the north celestial placement of a ...
... do him wanton rights, which cost them sore" -Milton. The name Baal Peor is derived by Bishop Cumberland from Chaldee primitives, the first signifying Lord, or God, the latter equivalent to the Latin denudare; the whole we would translate literally, the God Priapus which is itself an evident compound of Peor-Apis (Bryants Heath, Myth, vol. i, p. 177.) "The Phallus was carried in the ancient mysteries as an emblem of that mystical regeneration and new life to which the initiated had pledged themselves. Tertulliau, (contra Valent) says "Virile membrum totum esse mysterium." (Warburton, Divine Legation of Moses, vol. i ...

[4 ] Migration of Amerinds from north c.10,000 B.P . (Illustration by John Green.) A fascinating myth recorded by Renate Schukies tells of the hero's stellar genealogy. Motseyoef's mother was a mortal who, once upon a time, was suddenly smitten by a beautiful star. As fate would have it, the young woman succeeded in marrying the star and wound up living in heaven. Shortly thereafter the woman was warned by her Star husband not ...

THE considerations urged in the foregoing pages in regard to the ubiquitous Pillar as an outcome of the Universe-Axis myths will probably have struck the reader as admitting of wider application. Let us consider from this point of view the Irish Round Towers, which have already furnished matter for interminable discussions without leading to any sufficing conclusion. In his memorable Essay on the " Origin and Uses of the Round Towers of Ireland," Petrie adduced proofs of the ...
306. Saturn's Sacred Mountain [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... work by a lesser known writer in 1953. [14] There Femando Alfred Morin postulated that- way back in the remote past- the terrestrial core was dislodged from its center by the wobbling of the Earth. Centrifugal force then raised this free core to the surface, where it produced a bulge of colossal dimensions- the World Mountain myth- which spent long ages slowly creeping across the surface of the Earth as it grew even higher. The Mountain's mobility was caused by the freely moving core beneath the terrestrial surface as the Earth careened in an imbalanced state of spatial suspension. As it continued to move slowly over time the Mountain left a wake of lesser heights behind it ...

309. Alan Alford's The Phoenix Solution [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... themselves in the legendary Hall of Records' at least 6,000 years ago. This profound knowledge - of catastrophism in the heavens and on Earth - was adopted by the emerging Dynastic elite as a means of legitimising their rule as divine' kings. Over the centuries, the religious knowledge became encoded into the Pyramid Texts and numerous other myths and legends. But after several thousands years the original meaning of these myths was lost. It became possible for Alford to recapture the ancient wisdom, as a result of the painstaking work of Egyptologists during the past two centuries, and the recent pioneering work of astronomer Dr Tom Van Flandern. Contents: Foreword by Michael Rice. Author's ...
310. The Ring About The Earth at 2300 BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... course, disappeared but their residual mythology remains. There is general agreement that the significant mythological literature in the Middle East originated in the last centuries of the third millennium BC. Kirk [2 ] addresses the mythology of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia (Iraq) and that of the Akkadians who conquered them at 2340 BC: Most of the surviving myths in Sumerian were written down, on the tablets we possess, as early as about 1700 BC, but can be shown on linguistic and other grounds to have originated by about 2300 BC. Many of the surviving Akkadian myths, on the other hand, are known primarily from Neo-Assyrian tablets recovered from the library of Ashurbanipal in seventh-century BC ...
