... or possibly the Sealand king, do exactly the same things as does Alexander? Both apparently invade from the northwest, both conquer, both honor and restore certain forms of religious worship, both go south to Elam, both leave booty in Ionia; at the last battle, or shortly thereafter, the opposing king dies. The implication is ... conquered large territories and held the reins of large administrations. In Our Oriental Heritage, Will Durant states that "Hammurabi and Darius I were separated by differences of blood and religion, and by almost as many centuries as those that divide us from Christ; nevertheless, when we examine the two great kings we perceive that they are essentially and ...
642. An Empirical Approach to Collective AmnesiaA [Journals] [Kronos]
... and ambiguous origins. As cultures survived and prospered across the long intervals between cosmic disasters they strove for accuracy in their conscious observation of the current order of nature both for religious and for practical purposes. Unlike the collective memory for a given catastrophe, passed on in broken form by a single generation, spans of celestial stability produced elaborate descriptions ... , verbal representations alone can still evoke some degree of previously conditioned fears. Along with gruesome ritual to emphasize emotion, the fear of celestial disorder could be reinforced by escatological religions.

... symbolism of the broom as a comet image? [4 ] Talbott: I also noted the Aztec rites in which the angry goddess and her broom played central roles in religious rites commemorating the onset of cosmic upheaval and the subsequent clearing of the sky. In these rites, the broom clearly signified a fear-inspiring weapon, scattering the warrior-crowds that ... In fact, the common approach imagines that the symbolic object was first venerated animistically, and then the meanings were progressively expanded to cosmic proportions with the evolution of the ancient religions from totemism to more macroscosmic systems. In truth this approach has done more than any other factor to direct attention away from the archetypal roots of ancient memory. While ...
644. Did the Sumerians and the Akkadians Ever Exist? [Journals] [Aeon]
... 1500 years later. The comparative study of the civilizations of ancient southern Mesopotamia and ancient China reveals considerable parallels with regard to developments in social structure, technological skills, and religious practices. Yet the stratigraphically well-dated Chinese civilization emerges some 1500 years after the birth of the early dynastic civilization in "Sumer." IV Ca. 2350 BCE: ... his Chaldean mother tongue. The rise of civilization in ancient China not only resembles the emergence of civilization in the ancient Near East in regard to social structure, technology and religion, but also runs parallel with it chronologically. Once Bible fundamentalistic dating for Mesopotamia is dropped in favor of a strictly stratigraphical dating method, which has long been in ...
645. Jupiter -- God of Abraham (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... , James Strickling has suggested a similar cause.(2 ) The Book of Genesis, as well as extra-Biblical sources, blames the destruction on Abraham's god. From a religious point of view, Velikovsky's implication is that the planet Jupiter was the god of Abraham. Can this be substantiated? Let us first ask: Who was Abraham? ... to spend the remainder of his life as a wanderer in an effort to found a new nation and a new homeland for it. Like Moses, he formulated a new religion in honor of a new god and instituted new laws. According to Velikovsky, the Exodus and movement of peoples concurrent with it was the direct result of a world ...

... this theory".(30) Another problem is that only part of the name was rendered. Sethe rejected the explanation of "Seth" being dropped for reasons of religious prejudice. There are those, Rowton being one, who believe that the "apo Menophreos" refers to a period of time linked with the city of Memphis. ... article, "The Bible, Radiocarbon Dating and Ancient Egypt", Creation Research Society Quarterly, June, 1973. 2.

647. My Challenge to Conventional Views in Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... many variants of the same theme. In hymns, in prayers, in historical texts, in philosophical discourses, in records of astronomical observations, but also in legend and religious myth, the ancients desperately tried to convey to their descendants, ourselves included, the record of events that took place in circumstances that left a strong imprint on the ... the year, the length of the month and of the year and the motion of the planets? The legends and myths clearly point to an astral origin of all ancient religions. The problem that occupied the minds of the Classicists, Mesoamerican scholars, Orientalists, and students of social anthropology and mythology, was not solved in any one of ...

... battled against the pagan Anglo-Saxons. This article shows that Arthur was no Christian: Camulodunum (Camelot - i.e . Colchester), his capital, was the great religious centre of pre-Roman Britain and his Round Table was none other than Stonehenge. Two Ancient Mysteries The island of Britain lies at the centre of two of the most enduring ... that the Romans suppressed the druids with great violence because of their opposition to the Empire and that the druids' headquarters on Anglesey were destroyed.

... the Earth, luminous streamers of the central "star", spread across the face of the larger sphere.

But the early astronomical identification of the "sun" with the planet Saturn is beyond dispute ... ? "He begins by asserting that Pallas Athene was identified with the Babylonian Ishtar. Such a statement is hardly important. After Alexander's conquests the Greeks became aware of the religions of the ancient Near East, and frequently sought points of similarity with their own. Such similarities were often very superficial. Ishtar may have had something in common with ...

... passed between planets. Velikovsky's approach was interdisciplinary. He used the insights of a professional psychoanalyst and the methods of a trained historian to investigate the astronomical, mythical, and religious traditions of diverse cultures. He discerned deeply rooted themes which others had failed to see. These cultural records told the story of traumatic events, apparently experienced on a ... offer translations of previously unknown ancient texts. Antiquarians- ethnologists, archaeologists, and students of the archaic languages- assumed without question that the celestial forms celebrated in the great "sky religions" answer to the Sun and Moon and other bodies as they appear in our sky today. But what would happen to our understanding of the myth-making age if we ...
