... and on Magdalenian bones. In the Greek myths of the creation following chaos, Hyperion (" Lights") existed before Helios (" Sun"). Both the Sun and Moon are grandchildren of Ouranos and children of Hyperion and Thea [20]. Also, in genesis, light came before the sun and stars. In the Pyramid texts, the earliest extant mythological account, the moon is not prominent in the already then old cosmogony. The texts originate in the Mercurian period (Thoth is the Egyptian god) probably between 4480-4137 B.P . So we think that the Moon was present but cannot be identified. Figure 14. Hieroglyph of Nun: the Egyptian ...
... for more than two thousand years they have agreed that the Exodus took place during the period called in present terminology "the New Kingdom" of Egypt. Egypt's past is divided into the following periods: 1. The predynastic period belonging mainly to the Neolithic or the Late Stone Age. 2. The Old Kingdom, when most of the pyramids were built: the Fourth Dynasty, that of Cheops, and the Sixth, that of Phiops, are the best known. 3. The first interregnum, when the land fell into chaos: central authority was abolished in this dark age. Of the dynasties from the Seventh to the Tenth almost nothing is known. 4. The ...
... and Posnansky : the one supplying the Theory, the other the Material. Onto their shoulders climbed Kiss, who wedded the Theory to the Material. I myself climbed onto Kiss; Ashton was the next man up; and Allan topped the lot. What a lending of helping hands and what a giving of hoists and lifts, while this pyramid was building! And what a wonderful, wide view from up there! How familiar did we three 31 INTRODUCTION become with the heavens of Ttahua-ntin-Suyu, how conversant with the topography of Tiahuanaco, how intimate with the mental processes and wonderful personality of our genial master, the Maker of the Calendar, on our strangely exciting expeditions into the ...
434. A Personal Reminiscence [Journals] [Aeon]
... thesis on which that prediction is based. This was, indeed, the essential point at issue between Velikovsky and his critics. That correct deductions can be drawn from false premises is too obvious a truth to be argued, but this simple point either escaped Velikovsky or he refused to accept it. In any case, he built a vast pyramid of predictions on it and gathered every bit of information he could find in astronomical and geological literature that lent credence to that pyramid. Since the scientific community on the whole was convinced that Velikovsky's researches had no merit at all, whether historical or scientific, it completely disregarded his predictions, for which he was given no credit and which ...
435. Chapter IX: Other Similar Shrines Elsewhere [Books]
... We may now return to the equinoctial temples which, can still be traced to the N.E . of that valley- the chief ones being those, remains of which still exist at Jerusalem, Baalbek, and Palmyra, where stone was available for the temple builders. These temples were apparently as perfectly squared to the equinox as the Pyramids at Gîzeh. I will take the temple of Jerusalem first, as its history is more complete than that of the others. We learn from the works of Josephus that as early as Solomon's time the temple at Jerusalem was oriented to the east with care; [8 ] in other words, the temple at Jerusalem was parallel to ...

Mercer, The Pyramid Texts, Vol. II, N. Y., 1952, p. 156. 44. Note that the ring, or rings, around Ra to which the hymns allude was not the present set of Saturnian rings but that does not detract from the point being made. 45. E.A .W . Budge, ...
437. The Sun Of Night [Journals] [Kronos]
... The Egyptian texts suggest that in late times the Sun-god of night may have been regarded as a form of Osiris."(41) We do not, however, agree with Budge that Osiris' connection with the night sun evolved in "late times" for we definitely come across such allusions as early as the Vth Dynasty in the Pyramid Texts of Unas and others. In his other name of Neb-er-tcher- and Osiris was known under many names(44)- the god was known as the "god of the universe."(45) This is the same title bestowed on the Vedic and Hindu Creator, Brahma, whom Velikovsky has also identified as Saturn. ...
438. "Let There be Light" [Journals] [Kronos]
... and using them as a crutch, let us again turn to Budge: "The earliest texts bear within themselves proofs, not only of having been composed, but also of having been revised, or edited, long before the days of king Mena [Menes], and judging from many passages in the copies inscribed in hieroglyphics upon the pyramids of Unas . . . Teta [Teti], Pepi I, Mer-en-Ra, and Pepi II . . . it would seem that, even at that remote date, the scribes were perplexed and hardly understood the texts which they had before them."(102) And again, in describing the execution of late copies of the ...
439. Fire and Ash [Books] [de Grazia books]
... practically no traces within a few years of occurrence. Volcanos are more obvious sources of fire. Many a volcano has claimed its Pompeii and Herculanum. It has worked its way with mud and lava flows, ashes lofted nearby and afar, and noxious gases. It may be fissure or cone, extinct or live. One of the oldest pyramids, that of Quiquilco in America, stands almost buried in lava. It is probably as old as the oldest pyramids of Egypt. When a great may volcanos erupt simultaneously, the effects upon settlements are more than proportionate to the effects of a single eruption. Inasmuch as layers of ashes have been discovered over millions of square kilometers of ...
440. Variations on a Theme of Philolaos [Journals] [Kronos]
... on this meridian. Stonehenge has never been properly excavated, and no one knows how the oldest part of the structure was alined. (For that matter, no one knows how old Stonehenge is, anyway: Herbert's conclusion back in the 1840's that Stonehenge was a post-Roman Cyclops Christianus has never been refuted.) Another candidate is the Great Pyramid at Gizeh, whose northwest-to-southeast diagonal lies on this same meridian. One could always dismiss such an alinement as fortuitous, but how do we know that it is not the present north-south alinement of the sides of the Great Pyramid that is fortuitous? Other sites could readily be added to the above list. But the geographical course of that ...
