... Troy and India, was also a swastika to the Sanskrit-speaking Ayro Indians, and he expressed his conviction that both the cross and swastika were "religious symbols of the very greatest importance among the early progenitors of the Aryan races in Bactria and in the villages of the Oxus, at a time when Germans, Indians, Pelasgians, Celts, Persians, Troy and Ionians. Translation edited by P. Smith. London, 1875, pp.101 etc.Slavonians and Iranians still formed one nation and spoke one language". Count Goblet D'Aviella writes in this connexion: An observation, made long ago, is that the gammadion is almost the exclusive property of the Aryan race. ...
... far as the Hesperides." 27 He intended, perhaps, the De Danaan, who ruled for long in Ulster, the Hebrides and in Argyll, for according to Sallust, Hercules of Thebes, descended from Perseus, led an army of "Persae" into "Libya", and were called Pharusii28 These "Persae" were not Persians, as some have interpreted the passage, but descendants of Perseus, and he, according to the ancient Erse legends, answers to the great De Danaan hero Lugh, from whom were descended the Heracleids, and who claimed to be aborigines of Britain, dcscended from Luga. The Irish Book of Invasions describes how the Do Danaan, ...

... were put down and massacred. The aboriginal (? ) licit Miao tribe of this part of S. W. China "stick-in a bamboo-pole at the graves, with silk threads of the five colours."3 The staged towers (zikkurat) of Chaldea and Assyria seem to have given the model for the atesh-gahs or fire-towers of the Persians. That at Jur near Firuzabad is 91 feet high and has been "restored" by. M. Dieulafoy.4 The minaret of the mosque of Ibn TuIun, one of the oldest Mussulman edifices, is said to resemble it. Dr. E. G.

404. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Eye of Heaven [Books]
... , Eye of Bel, was the name of a precious stone, perhaps our Cat's-eye. These may also have been amulets. I wholly omit the numerous facts and allusions about the god Fascinus. And here may be introduced another curious idea, the diverting from one's eye itself of the direct gaze of the dominating evil eye. In the Persian Rauzat-us-Safa Joseph has on his face a mole, "which the sovereign creator had fixed on the page of his beauty for the purpose of averting the evil eye." Here, I think, we have the true origin of patches, and of the luckiness of moles and beauty spots. Just as potentially hurtful fairies are called the ...
405. The Road to Saturn (Excerpts from an Autobiographical Essay) [Journals] [Aeon]
... list of star names. The item that matches the event reads: "The gigantic star of the god Ea in the constellation Vela of the god Ea." As seen by the ancient peoples of Mesopotamia, Vela X would have appeared low on the horizon with its luminosity reflected "like a shiny ribbon" on the waters of the Persian Gulf. This sudden celestial apparition, according to Michanowsky, so awed ancient man that its psychological impact was responsible for a "quantum jump in human achievement." The supernova, however, cannot be dated more precisely than "sometime between 9000 and 4000 B.C ." Michanowsky opted for the lower date on no particular astronomical ...

... three radiologists has led them to decide that Ramesses suffered from a far less debilitating form of arthritis, which doesn't start causing problems until middle age, so Ramesses could have fought those Hittites after all! Achaemenid Discovery ( www.tehrantimes.com ) A city from the Achaemenid era (559-329 BC) has been discovered in Iran, the Persian heartland, and gives hope for more finds from the era with better development of Iranian archaeology. MYTHOLOGY There Were Giants (National Geographic, August 2004 geographica) Many mythical heroes of Greece were giants, among them Pelops, whose massive shoulder-blade was reportedly kept at Olympia as a relic. Other remains of giants were chronicled from the 5th ...

... seven in ancient symbolism. We meet these gods as seven stones of fate, or seven demons in Sumerian and Akkadian symbolism; seven eyes of God in the book of Zechariah; seven Watchers of Enoch; seven stars and seven spirits of God in the book of Revelation; Seven Sages of Arabian epic literature, Seven Immortal Fates of the Persians; seven Rishi of the Hindu Vedas. Seven daughters of Aphrodite, or Seven Sisters in Greek myth. Seven heads of the primeval serpent or dragon in Egyptian, Babylonian, Hebrew, Christian, Hindu, and Mesoamerican traditions. In more than one land, constellational astrology eventually localized the Primeval Seven as stars of Ursa Major or the ...
... the fifth month or the month of Ab, late in the summer. 4 Four clay impressions of a seal of Nekau were found in the ruins of a house at Carchemish, together with seals of Psamthek. As I show in Peoples of the Sea (pp. 93-98), this person is to be identified with Psamshek, a Persian high official mentioned in the Elephantine papyri. The seals of Nekau found next to those of Psamshek would seem to place also Nekau Wehemibre in the fifth century when Egypt was under Persian occupation. See L. Woolley and T. E. Lawrence, eds., Carchemish, II (1915-1952), pp. 126-128; PI. ...

Thick forests covered much of the land on the southern side of this sea. At this time, the Late Oligocene, the common ancestors of Old World monkeys and apes, a diverse group of unspecialised tree-living primates, including Aegyptopithecus, lived in Africa. Aegyptopithecus, the size of a small dog ...

... word for a torch, dais, daidos, Latin taeda. With son' for Ben, and the definite article for ha', it is possible that Ben Q-CD vol 12: KA, Ch. 13: KA', and Egyptian Magic 177 Hadad gave himself the title of "Son of the Torch", just as the Persian king's viceroy was the rod of Set. The Akkadian Shamash', the sun goddess, Ugaritic Shapash', is often called The Torch of the Gods'. The Greek tripod cauldron, lebes- lebetos, is, I suggest, el bet, the house of el.
