... Eye of Re, lady of heaven, mistress of all the gods, the daughter of Re, who came forth from his body." (97) Most significant, perhaps, is the tradition that the departure of the Eye-goddess signalled disaster for the sun-god and his celestial kingdom. This tradition is the basis for numerous passages in the Pyramid and Coffin Texts, where the departure of the Eye constitutes a world-threatening cataclysm: "I am the fiery Eye of Horus which went forth terrible, Lady of slaughter... I am indeed she who shoots." (98) Other passages recount the fire and devastation which accompanied the Eye's rampage: "The great fire has ...

... heard the succession came to her eldest son. Accordingly, she went to him in haste; and when she was come into Adiabene, she did not long outlive her son Izates. But Monobazus sent her bones, as well as those of Izates, his brother, to Jerusalem, and gave order that they should be buried at the pyramids (8 ) which their mother had erected; they were three in number, and distant no more than three furlongs from the city Jerusalem. But for the actions of Monobazus the king, which he did during the rest of his life. we will relate them hereafter. - CHAPTER 5. CONCERNING THEUDAS AND THE SONS OF JUDAS ...
483. In Search of the Exodus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... A Comprehensive Theory of Aging, Gigantism, and Longevity," C&AH, II-I. 43. Stone circles and standing stones, rings, and similar megalithic structures are oriented to the sun, perhaps in an architectural manner, as in numerous sacred buildings such as European churches, the palace (tomb) of Knossos, and the pyramids, etc. This does not imply a sun cult or even some indeterminate desire of agricultural communities to establish the equinoxes; it seems reasonable they were built in response to some kind of celestial phenomenon- the close approach of a comet, or the correlation of heavenly bodies on events below- such as earthquakes; possibly also a computation ...

Mercer, The Pyramid Texts, Vol. II (N . Y., 1952), p. 156. [42] I should point out here 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. [43] ...
... from Inca legends: "Completely ignored by scholars .. .has been the repeated statements in the Andean legends that there occurred a frightening darkness in the long-ago times. No one has wondered whether this was the same darkness-the non-appearance of the sun when it was due, of which the Mexican legends speak in the tale of Teotihuacan and its pyramids. For if there had indeed been such a phenomenon that the sun failed to rise and the night was endless, then it would have been observed throughout the Americas. "The Mexican collective recollections and the Andean ones seem to corroborate each other on this point, and thus uphold the veracity of each other, as two witnesses to ...

... , and consequently carried their bodies both to a greater height and bulk. And in like manner, their trees would be both taller, and every way bigger than ours; neither were they in any danger there to be blown down by winds and storms, or struck with thunder, tho' they had been as high as the Egytian Pyramids; and whatsoever their height was, if they had roots and trunks proportionable, and were streight and well pois'd they would stand firm, and with a great majesty. The Fowls of Heaven making their Nests in their Boughs and under their shadow the Beasts of the Field bringing forth their young. When things are fairly possible in their ...
... as the opinion of our ancestors that the earth was never the abode of living beings until the creation of the present continents, and of the species now existing, it is easy to perceive what extravagant systems they would frame, while under the influence of this delusion, to account for the monuments discovered in Egypt. The sight of the pyramids, obelisks, colossal statues, and ruined temples, would fill them with such astonishment, that for a time they would be as men spell-bound wholly incapable of reasoning with sobriety. They might incline at first to refer the construction of such stupendous works to some superhuman powers of a primeval world. A system might be invented resembling that ...
... on the other hand, much rock is taken annually from the land, in the shape of ballast, and afterwards thrown into the sea, and by this means, in spite of prohibitory laws, many harbors, in various parts of the world, have been blocked up. We rarely transport heavy materials to higher levels, and our pyramids and cities are chiefly constructed of stone brought down from more elevated situations. By ploughing up thousands of square miles, and exposing a surface for part of the year to the action of the elements, we assist the abrading force of rain, and diminish the conservative effects of vegetation. .
