... looking in the wrong part of Egyptian history, being misled by both "history" and "science". Strickling proposed identifying Joseph with Imhotep, Zoser's "great architect". This identification seems reasonable according to "History of Ancient Egypt" by Breasted, and NER dating calibrated by GA-dating. Imhotep was the designer of the "Step Pyramid", the first of the pyramids of Egypt. Breasted also gave Imhotep credit for remarkably modern' architectural designs". This might well fit the character of Joseph as given in the Bible. It is consistent also in the name as being associated with Goshon by Genesis 15:13 is prophecy that the Israelites would be in bondage ...
262. Epilogue: Questions And Answers (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... come into general use, cutting down considerably the use of copper and bronze? The precedence of iron was postulated, not only because of the simpler technological process involved in manufacturing the metal, as compared with bronze, and the widespread presence of iron ore, but also because of the evidence provided by the work executed. The stones for pyramids were cut in square blocks during the Old Kingdom- copper or bronze tools would not have cut the limestone rock. Sarcophagi of granite with carved sharp corners of perfect angles and knife-like edges and plumb-straight lines, sculptures with finely cut lines of eyelids and lips dating from the Fourth Dynasty, and the sharp lines of hieroglyphics cut into granite and ...

264. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... and eventually found its way to the museum. The material from which it is carved is, apparently, a local sandstone and unless it is an elaborate hoax (unlikely since it was turned up quite innocently by a farmer) it is of considerable age. Gympie is also well known in Australian archaeological circles as the site of the Gympie Pyramid'. This is a small hill, about 40m high, totally overgrown in scrub and timber, which has been terraced at some time in the past. The remains of about six terraces can be traced, of up to ten metres in width, the vertical faces standing about one metre high, formed from rough, untooled stones ...
265. Site Destructions and Discontinuities in the Bronze Age [Articles]
... interested in the solstices, more than the ordinary business of seeing that the crops were planted at the right time, would justify. That's two lectures I am not going into. This is Renfrew's map which he made when it looked like the bristlecone pine correction had changed the carbon 14 dating and that the megalithic culture is older than the pyramids in Egypt. I think that the focus of the megalithic culture is pretty clearly outward to the Atlantic. They did come through here, but they are focused there, and when I was working in Spain, I found a lot of references to Bronze Age cultures down here in West Africa. I believe West Africa was a staging ...
266. The River of Ocean [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Atum was associated with the circular serpent is well known. This serpent is made to announce: I bent right around, I was encircled in my coils' [38]. In one of the Coffin Texts, the god himself recalls the time when he was still in the midst of the serpent coil' [39]. The Pyramid Texts, through the inscription of which the deceased pharaoh aimed to attain unity with the god, state: The King lies down in your coil, the King sits in your circle' [40]. This, again, more than intimates that the encircling serpent was analogous to the god's circle or ring. Likewise, as David ...

... - but carried fire with it. Fire can fall with stones when a volcano is vigorously erupting near at hand. Volcanoes were erupting everywhere but seemingly not near at hand. Fires running on the ground were probably electrical. They were probably running up the taller buildings of the government and of the official class, and, too, the pyramids. People were burned in the palace, even the King's son, according to legend. The indications of a mixed fire and stone downpour are logically associated with a cosmic fall-out from a cometary tail [36]. The fires were of naphtha (hydrocarbons) and simultaneously electrical. A fire rested in the hailstones as the burning wick ...
269. Indra's Theft of the Sun-God's Wheel [Journals] [Aeon]
... the Aztec ritual commemorating these events as follows: Upon the Runner's [Huitzilopochtli's] return the xiuhcoatl, the turquoise dragon made up as a great fire-breathing mask followed by an undulating paper tail, was brought down the temple steps to represent the weapon Huitzilopochtli hurled upon the Southerners from the top of the world mountain. At the foot of the pyramid had been placed a sacrificial bowl containing bits of paper taken from the victims to be, each piece representing a particular captive or slave. As the dragon reached the foot of the pyramid it was set on fire and flung down upon the bowl of papers- they were all consumed, just as in the myth Huitzilopochtli hurled his thunderbolt ...
270. Conclusion [Books]
... dragons, and one-legged giants speak not for unconstrained speculation, but for once visible powers. To modern writers, seeking to penetrate the language of myth, it is as if early races contrived their fantastic symbolism in conscious disdain for later efforts to understand. "Anyone who has ever entered the labyrinth of an archaic culture's mythical compendia (the Pyramid Texts, the Vedas, the Theogony) can testify to a desperate suspicion that there is no thread of objective reality," confessed one classicist. Such a suspicion is difficult to dispel in the face of such "primitive" imagery as golden mountains reaching heaven, revolving islands and temples, winged goddesses, cosmic bulls, circular serpents ...
