... REVERSALS 27. GLOSSARY Q-CD vol. 13, A Fire Not Blown, Introduction 4 INTRODUCTION Some time ago, at a lecture, I made various remarks connecting catastrophes, electricity, and the sudden hologenesis of speech, which were heard by Hugh Crosthwaite, a Birmingham schoolmaster in classics and a musician. Perhaps I was expressing my opinion that originally an ecumenical language served primeval humans, based entirely at first upon connections perceived to exist in the sky and to transfer therefrom the objects experienced on earth. All language was in origin sacral and then became pragmatic in the sense of coping with the mundane artifacts of existence. A prime cause of humanization itself was catastrophe on a global scale ...
212. Greek History Begins in the Sixth Century B.C. [Journals] [Aeon]
... Newton around 360 B.C ., see note 26), compiled a list of victors of the Olympic Games, recording the victors of the stade race exclusively. On the whole only little is known of Hippias (c . 410 to 350 B.C .) and only Plutarch (Numa 1) states that he was the original author of the Olympic victor list. Plutarch, however, was not the only author who considerably doubted Hippias' credibility. The small amount of information handed down by Plato (428 to 349 B.C .) confirms the questionable soundness of Hippias as well. Hippias is mentioned in two dialogues with Socrates (470 to 399 B ...
213. The Saturn Problem [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a divine succession' of planetary deities may have started. The planet Saturn appears to us as a tiny speck of light in the night sky, one most of us would have great difficulty identifying. Yet this inconspicuous object appears to have once been revered - by ancient civilisations in countries as widely separated as Greece and China - as the original ruler of the universe' and even as a sun-like object of dazzling splendour. Saturn's importance to the ancients forms the centrepiece of one of the most baffling mysteries of ancient astronomy, history and religion. Within the pantheons or families of deities worshipped by our ancestors, the gods and goddesses of the planets often held the highest positions, ...
... . With the start and progress of this materialization' and gyration, a new force became active in the explosion Cloud, gravitation. Numerous bigger and smaller mass centres evolved, which eventually became sub-centres revolving round a central mass accumulation which came into being at or near the ideal' centre of the gyrating disk. Thus the material of the original chaotic explosion cloud became gathered into a system' consisting of a central sun', and a certain number of planets' swinging round it. We have next to consider another important point. According to Hoerbiger universal space is not absolutely empty', but is filled with a material medium' which consists, chiefly, of hydrogen in ...
215. Child of Saturn (Part IV) [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VIII No. 4 (Summer 1983) Home | Issue Contents Child of Saturn (Part IV)Dwardu Cardona Copyright (c ) 1983 by Dwardu Cardona 21. Mit(h )ra(s ) It has long been assumed that the Aryans originally came from that part of the world which today is southern Russia. From there they spread out in several directions. Some of them migrated to the country of the Mitanni where they were eventually absorbed by the native population. The rest continued to move, in successive waves, eastward across the steppes. There they separated and proceeded to found their two great nations: Media (later Persia, ...
216. VELIKOVSKY AND OEDIPUS [Journals] [Aeon]
... to rob the Jews of their most famous prophet together with their priority in the development of religious monotheism. There Velikovsky wrote: Unless his inner motivations are understood, one is equally baffled by Freud's insistence on writing and publishing as his last book- almost as his last testament- his degradation of Moses. He degraded him by denying him originality; simultaneously he degraded the Jewish people by denying them a leader of their own race, for he made Moses an Egyptian; and finally he degraded the Jewish God, making Yahweh a local deity, an evil spirit of Mount Sinai. On the eve of his departure from a long life he had to blast the Hebrew God, ...
217. sTARBABY [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... explained away with "further research." The irony of all this particularly distresses me since both in print and before a national television audience I have stated that the conspiratorial mentality of believers in occultism presents a real political danger in a voting democracy. Now I find that the very group I helped found has partially justified this mentality. CSICOP originated with the statement "Objections to Astrology," published in the September-October 1975 issue of The Humanist. "Objections" was signed by 186 scientists, including 18 Nobel prizewinners, who were justly upset at the growing newspaper exploitation of a public that wasn't being informed that astronomy and astrology aren't the same thing. "Objections" and its ...
218. "The Basest Of The Kingdoms". Part 2 Ch.2 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... Bedel rejected the plea that he should make restitution for the loss and pointed to the fact that the thief was not a resident of his city but a sailor from the ship. Wenamon continued his travel towards Byblos. The misfortunes that befell him on the way, the intolerance and disdain he encountered in the Syrian cities because of his Egyptian origin and citizenship, the lack of protection when on the high seas, are vividly described in the diary of his journey.[1 ] At that time, travelling in Syria was perilous. Nehemiah (2 :7 ) and Ezra (8 :22) both mention the insecurity of the highways, even for one on the king's ...
219. Ice Core Evidence [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... ice formed from winter snow would be enriched by the lighter oxygen-16 isotope.(2 ) He also explained how other signals in the ice could be used to determine the validity of Velikovsky's scenario: As a test of Velikovsky's scenario of historical catastrophes, the initial expectation was that the ice would preserve a series of conspicuous dust layers of cometary origin at the proper level. Such dust layers are not in evidence, but other signs of catastrophism could take the place of the missing dust. Extreme acidity peaks are produced by major volcanic eruptions, which inject volcanic acid gases into the stratosphere. These gases travel to high latitudes, being converted to acid en route, and are incorporated ...
220. Early 21st Dynasty Genealogy and the Consequences of Redating the Installation of HPA Pinudjem 1 to ca. Year 1 of Psusennes I [Journals] [SIS Review]
... identifiable with Henttawy A. But if Henttawy A/Q were married to Pinudjem I, she would have to be the mother of Psusennes I. Among other difficulties, this would seem to make Psusennes I's Ramesside connection inexplicable. With the above redating, she could be Psusennes I's wife and Amenemope's mother, leaving the question of Psusennes I's origin open. THE ORIGIN OF MAKARE A The situation of Makare A, apparent daughter of Henttawy A, agrees well with the above, because (again with the above redating) her father seems better identified with Psusennes I than with Pinudjem I. THE HRERE PROBLEM At least with the above redating, a Nodjmet II should be distinguished from ...
