... predates our own, and which seeded all civilisations of both the ancient and new world. Moreover, there seems to be a great necessity for people to believe that displaced Atlanteans founded Egyptian civilisation. Cayce, for instance, has displaced Atlanteans arriving in Egypt in 10,500 BC and leaving as a legacy the Sphinx monument, the Great Pyramid and other monuments on the Giza plateau, all built around this time. The likes of Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval, John Anthony West, etc., have all cited this very 10,500 BC date as sep tepi, the First Occasion, when the neteru-gods are supposed to have arrived in Egypt from Atlantis. The shared ...

573. The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky: Part One [Journals] [Aeon]
... and unhappy over the comparatively strict academic discipline, Velikovsky and Marek decided to drop out of school to become pioneers in Palestine. As a religious and romantic gesture, they decided to duplicate the original Mosaic passover by crossing the Sinai on foot but, more wisely, they settled on a seaborne passage instead. After a second visit to the pyramids for Velikovsky, they sailed to Jaffa. Upon receipt of a letter of recommendation from kinsman Jaffe, they enlisted as day laborers for the Agudath-Netaim plantation at Rehobath. But it was the rainy season and there was very little work to be done. There was also, as a result, very little income. Finally, out of ...
574. Cosmic Catastrophism [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Mankind might have survived devastation of the kind Velikovsky recounts, but civilization would have been severely damaged. Architectural constructions would have been especially hard hit. Buildings would have crumbled due to earthquakes, tidal waves, hurricane-force winds, and heat hot enough to melt rocks. Virtually everything would have been destroyed- it is questionable whether even the pyramids could have endured such catastrophes. Velikovsky does credit some destruction of ancient cities to the cataclysms, (79) but the powerful forces involved would lead one to expect more signs of wholesale devastation around the globe. Minoan sites on Crete were destroyed around 1450 B.C ., but most Egyptian and Mesopotamian buildings were not. There ...
575. Velikovsky's Dreamwork [Journals] [Aeon]
... " but Velikovsky, following Freud's precedent, delayed consideration of it until later. He also ignored entirely two minor dreams that Freud recounted in this part of his book. The first consisted of a single phrase, "It's written in a positively norekdal style." Freud considered norekdal to be a "parody of the superlatives kolossal' and pyramidal' derived from the names of two of playwright Henrik Ibsen's characters, Nora Helmer (A Doll's House) and Hialmar Ekdal (The Wild Duck). Similarly the other "lost" dream also revolved around a neologism, "Auto-didasker." Freud associates this "word" with autor (author) or autodidakt (self-taught) and ...
576. The Newark Holy Stones [Journals] [Horus]
... ago...The civilization of Mound-Builders at one time was thought to be equal to that of Tyre or Babylon or Egypt. It is even confidently asserted that here were the relics of Ten Lost Tribes .. . It must now, however, be admitted that there are points in the work of the Mound-Builders in their effigies, pyramids and sacred enclosures which strongly support the view that America was at some remote period visited by successive waves of invaders from Europe from the coast of Asia or even from Mongolia. Rites such as prevailed in Phoenicia in the Old Testament times were widely practiced in the North American continent. The more closely the relics of the lost race were ...
577. From Myth to a Physical Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... vision, only more ambitious, larger-scale, and more fully elaborated expressions of the original prototype. The emergence of early technology was what made this increase in scale and in progressive elaboration possible. And the varied technologies themselves were, to an astonishing degree, the outflow of ritual celebrating the age of the gods. All that separates the Great Pyramids of early Egyptian from the small mounds spread across that ancient land is scale. The motivation is provided by one and the same prototype. It is the compulsive extension of the prototype that brings forth technology. Until this stirring of religious fervor there is no collective impulse to fuel technology. And always the reference of this nearly obsessive activity ...

... of the sky are often compared." As Horus, the morning star (not necessarily Venus) was also brought into conjunction with Osiris. (120) Among the Egyptians, the morning star was once considered masculine and regarded as the most important of the planets (at what period in Egyptian history is not indicated). In the Pyramid texts (1207 and 1719), the morning star is called "Horus of the Star-Abode" (i .e ., abode of the dead, the underworld) and "god of the ocean." (121) The planet Venus was represented with two male heads in Roman times and this was, perhaps, "an ...
579. The Succession of Gods [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the worship of the old. Therefore it happens, consciously or not, that all gods have an unbroken line of ancestors going back to primordial chaos; there the gods are made from the abstract elements such as air and water or the world begins out of nothing. We should bear in mind that when Egyptian history opened, with the Pyramid texts, Osiris(Saturn) was already dead, deus otiosus, and Horus (Zeus) reigned. Thus too, recorded history and ruins of civilized settlements portray the Saturnian (Osirian) "Golden Age" and its horrendous destruction. The god Nun of Egypt, first god of the first recorded cosmogony, bears in his hieroglyphic ...
580. Earth Parturition and Moon Birth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... [93]. The stars and the sun are not needed to navigate, once given the Moon; latitude and longitude can be calculated. Earliest man could have commonsense means, too, of making up a calendar. Babylon, which like perhaps all other early cities, was planned on the scheme of heaven, dedicated many of its pyramidal towers to the moon god [94]. They constitute attempts at warding off a threatening heaven and controlling the gods. Briffault stresses the important place among the Semitic people that was held by the Moon, in the image of the serpent [95]. And now we wonder whether the serpent of the Garden of Eden represented the ...
