182. Catastrophe and Divine Fires [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the destruction of settlements in the second millennium before Christ. The end of the Middle Bronze Age, corresponding to the end of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom that we have been studying, seems to have witnessed the complete destruction of every city that had been excavated. The effects of earthquakes were most common. Since it is believed sometimes that the pyramids and other strong stone structures have escaped damage through the ages, it is worthwhile mentioning that even the Great Pyramid exhibits severe damage by earthquake[38]. I do not make more of this case and others because there is presently no way of judging whether the damage was caused in the earthquakes of the Exodus. The destruction of ...
183. Mother Goddess and Warrior-Hero (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... a circle of secondary gods revolving around Atum, and this celestial band was nothing other than the crescent-enclosure, as shown by the hieroglyph for the Great Ennead, a circle with superimposed crescent . Thus, while the pillar was conceived as a masculine power, a heaven-reaching phallus, the band was the womb of cosmic genesis. Accordingly, the Pyramid Texts assert that the chaotic, unorganized waters brought forth by Atum were given form by the "phallus of Shu" and the "womb of Tefnut." (60) In these most ancient cosmological principles, then, we have the answer to a question raised earlier: Why was Venus the only planetary representative of the female divinity ...
184. Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning [Books]
... worship in the north, about 5200 B.C ., of the northern stars being associated with the god An, Annu, Ant, or On, under the supposed government of Set, or Typhon, the god of darkness, recognized under many synonyms. That of the east and west stars was indicated by the Ghizeh temples and pyramids, about 4000 B.C .; while in southern Egypt the worship of the southern stars, as early as 6400 B.C ., perhaps much earlier, was presided over by Horus, a southern sun-god, although later he occasionally appeared as a northern divinity. The rising stars represented the youthful goddesses; those setting, ...
... is evidence which suggests that the temples so far traced sacred to the southern cult are of earlier foundation than those to the north, and they are associated with Edfû and Philae, which are known to be of high antiquity. This is one point of difference. Another is that the almost entire absence of Set temples and east and west pyramids up the river indicates that, so far as these structures go, we lack the links which astronomically and mythologically connect the Delta with Babylonia either directly or by common origin. From Prof. Sayce it is to be gathered that the most ancient people yet glimpsed there inhabited the region at the head of the Persian Gulf, one of ...
186. Temple of the Giant Jaguar [Journals] [Horus]
... Issue Contents Temple of the Giant Jaguar Tikal, hidden in the jungles of the Petén region of Guatemala until it become well known In the late 19th century, Is one of the largest and oldest of Mayan sites. Though dated at 292 AD, there Is evidence of activity In the area as early as 600 BC. The complex of pyramids found there bow witness to a sophisticated knowledge of geometry and astronomy. The Temple of the Giant Jaguar consists of nine tiers, topped by a temple platform. The face of each tier has a slope of 72 . making the pyramid appear steeper than its 60 . But why 72 , the angle of the pentagram? And why nine ...
187. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 98, p. 26, 4.9 .99, p. 4 Creatures in the past were often of huge size. Even some unicellular animals were of incredible size for that type of life, being up to 16cm across when modern ones are only 2mm. The remains of such nummulites are found in the limestone from which the pyramids are built. The record for arthropods has now been discovered in the form of a centipede over two metres long. Scientists wonder why it became extinct but in modern conditions of gravity and oxygen pressure it is unlikely that it could survive at all. At the other end of the scale for size are tiny creatures called tardigrades which are ...
188. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2002:2 (Feb 2003) Home | Issue Contents Letters Pyramid Builders, Polar Configurations etc.I have a couple of comments about Eric Crew's letter in C&CR 2002:1 . Firstly he declares that it is unlikely that the pyramid builders' themselves had the technology to construct them because a recent attempt to build a pyramid using modern technology failed. That older technological expertise can be lost is attested by several examples, e.g . British Bronze and Steel Secrets', C&CR 2001:2 , p. 48. There is no denying the technological level of the Romans, or that they constructed their ...

... , a keen younger member, and Emmett Sweeney, whose past contributions to the C&C Review would be known to many. After a lunch break we were pleased to welcome Janek Pietron who has been studying ancient chronology and alignments and the implications for catastrophic cosmic changes in Earth's recent past. The present perfect cardinal alignments of the Giza pyramids implies that they were built after any cosmic catastrophes. So were they really built around 2500BC, or were they rebuilt in two stages as alignments altered? Pietron considered a variety of myths and origin traditions which gave clues to the cardinal directions in earlier times. He dealt with the geology of the Mediterranean and the Nile Valley and their ...

... is the first king of the 3rd Dynasty, and in the Abydos list he is, the sixteenth king beginning with Menes as the first. These king lists generally agree on the succession from Mena (Menes) to Djoser and on through the reign of Pepi II of the sixth dynasty. Beginning with Djoser, the Egyptian kings built substantial pyramids to serve as their tomb. This practice was carried on through the Middle Kingdom, after which no significant pyramids seem to have been constructed. During the eighteenth dynasty, kings were laid to rest in elaborately decorated tombs excavated in solid rock under a mountain which resembles a pyramid in shape, the entrances being off the Valley of the ...
