... subdue the indigenous population. He suggests that this event may have formed the basis for accounts in the Histories of Herodotus and the epitomes of Manetho, of an Egyptian world conqueror called Sesostris. This material has been treated with skepticism by historians, mainly because Sesostris is assigned by Manetho to the XIIth Dynasty, whereas Herodotus has him precede the pyramid builders of the IVth Dynasty.12 Dayton also believes that the first recorded king of Egypt, Menes, may have been the same person as the legendary Minoan ruler of the Cretan empire, Minos. This is all somewhat speculative. Dayton, however, lists a series of uncalibrated radiocarbon dates for the early dynastic periods in Egypt and ...

... perspective of cataclysmic events to be wrong. However, his basic premise of planetary encounters has been confirmed and the details fleshed out to an extraordinary degree. Several pioneering researchers in this new field now agree that awe-inspiring planetary encounters did occur in pre-history. To the most ancient civilizations they were a culturally defining memory. They were the inspiration for pyramids, megaliths, statues, totems and sacred rock art. The survivors of global upheaval felt it imperative that the memory be preserved and passed down faithfully to future generations in the expectation that the "gods" would return. The memorialization took the form of architecture, ritual and story to re-enact the apocalyptic power of the planetary gods over ...

634. Samson Revealed [Journals] [Aeon]
... entrance to Hades lies, Day and Night share the same house, but are never there at the same time, since one leaves as the other returns, to wait indoors her turn to circle the earth. At the gate they greet each other, as they cross the threshold of bronze." Theogony 720ff. 78. In the Pyramid Texts, for example, one can read that Shu's "arms which are under the sky are upraised." (1471) 79. Judges 16:21. 80. The blind hero, frequently a great sinner against the gods, is a universal mythological figure. In ad-dition to Hoder and Samson, one might cite Lykur-gos, ...

... same results by their own methods, and with their own techniques. It does not matter if papyri have not been found to show us how. The objects themselves, whether accounts of the Creation, or the remains of temples and tombs, have priority over papyri which describe them. If a "pyramidiot" is someone who takes the pyramids of Egypt as landing markers for flying saucers, then I would define a "papyridiot" as someone who finds a working instrument and refuses to acknowledge its existence because he cannot find an engineering blueprint. UNITS AND DIMENSIONS Here, it is shown that we did not multiply the magnitude of gamma by the specific volume of water simply to ...
636. Thoth Vol III, No. 17: Dec 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... where the method I have been expounding proved itself - because, if the theory demanded that Ra was really a personification of Saturn rather than the Sun, it should also demand that the characteristics and motions ascribed to Ra will not be found to fit those of the Sun. Amy: Quoting from Jastrow, Boll, Budge, and the Pyramid texts, CARDONA describes the characteristics and motions of Ra, as a deity that reigned within the Circles, then further identifies this Circle as the "Duat" the "underworld", which, according to Budge, was located "away beyond the earth, probably in the sky." CARDONA: It is thus obvious that, ...
637. Answers To Further Critics [Journals] [Kronos]
... which was on Irving Michelson, and I had earlier recommended that it be published in Pensee. But I did not see any reason why Stecchini should be relegated to an appendix of de Grazia's paper. Similarly, I did not see why Stecchini should have been relegated to a long appendix of Peter Tompkins' book, Secrets of the Great Pyramid, especially when Stecchini's appendix was a far greater contribution to scholarship than Tompkins' book could ever be. Thus I recommended to Greenberg - and he readily agreed - that Stecchini's piece should be published as a separate article, not as a mere appendix to something by de Grazia. I even wrote a short piece of my own on ...
638. A Revised Astronomical Chronology for Egypt [Articles]
... one pole or the other pretty quickly. There are relatively stable periods in between. This is what interests me, I am not terribly interested in catastrophes, I am just interested in the steady states that come between." Peter Warlow: "The evidence suggests that whatever changes occurred, they all cancelled out. The alignment of the pyramids etc." John Fermor: "Velikovsky thought that the Earth tilted, but he didn't know whether the pole actually moved terrestrially or celestially. In a later article in Harper's Magazine, he backed off the first point and said it can't have moved geographically. The arguments from the temple of Amon would seem to argue against your celestial ...

640. Ultramassive Objects and the Bodner/Brandt Hypothesis (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... astronomers and cartographers, and that they transmitted accurate geodesic knowledge down to modern times. It is even possible that included in that knowledge was the statement that the site of Calcutta was once on the equator. But there is no reason to believe so, either. And there is a very solid reason for doubting it - namely the great pyramid, which points squarely toward the present north pole, not Baffin Island. Rose says that "More than one of Velikovsky's unknown' sources has subsequently been found". But in view of the sometimes great discrepancies between his "known" sources and Velikovsky's descriptions of them, one should be cautious in evaluating claims for which no reference ...
