... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2005 (Sep 2005) Home | Issue Contents The Stream Surrounding the Earth Moe Mandelkehr Introduction The encounterof the Earth with a dense meteoroid stream at 2300 BC was a terrifying experience for all peoples on the Earth. As you would expect, the event was interpreted as a visitation of the gods and religions appeared in all areas. The phenomena observed in the heavens were described as the activities of those gods. The actual meteoroid fall was an important part of the affair and is reflected in the widespread stories of thunderbolts and other miscellaneous fiery objects hurled from the sky. However, the dominant aspect of the encounter was the temporary formation of ...
672. The Polar Sun [Books]
... the other heavenly bodies visually revolved. Of this tradition early man has left us evidence far too numerous to cover fully in this volume. I offer below a summary of the principal sources. SUN AND SATURN The myths and rites celebrate Saturn as the primeval sun. Today, few mythologists looking back across several millennia to the beginnings of astral religion see anything more than worship of the rising and setting sun, the solar orb. This preoccupation with the solar orb is evident in popular surveys: "The preeminence of the Sun, as the fountainhead of life and man's well-being," writes W. C. Olcott, "must have rendered it at a date almost contemporaneous with ...
673. The Many Faces Of Venus - The Planet Venus in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2002:1 (Jul 2002) Home | Issue Contents Book Review The Many Faces Of Venus - The Planet Venus in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane 2001, AEON Press, 601 Hayward, Ames, IO 50014, USA Jill Abery Four years ago I had the pleasure of reviewing Ev Cochrane's first book in this series, about the planet Mars. Now he has begun to tackle the planet Venus in like fashion but such is the complexity and magnitude of the mythological evidence that this book is described as only the first in a multi-volume series. As with Martian Metamorphoses (reviewed in C&CR 1998:1 ), ...
674. "A Degradation Of Science And Of Religion". Ch.2 To Know And Not To Know (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... From "Mankind in Amnesia" © 1982 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents "A Degradation Of Science And Of Religion"The reaction against efforts to bring to the surface of consciousness repressed contents that struggle to stay repressed can be violent and cause an outburst of hatred; the person trying to help another to bring up the suppressed may himself be accused of fomenting hatred and discord. Hostility against the therapeutical procedure may ascribe to the therapist vile motives actually existing in the analysand himself under a veneer of conscious reasonableness. An illustrative case is the reaction of the late J.B .S . Haldane upon reading Worlds in Collision. Haldane was a British geneticist ...
675. The Age of Reason: Some Insights [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. XI No. 1 (Fall 1985) Home | Issue Contents The Age of Reason: Some Insights Livio C. Stecchini Copyright (c ) 1985 by Dorothea Stecchini Renaissance approaches had proved unable to cope with the problems of the seventeenth century: the irresponsible scramble for power among rulers, the increasing religious divisions, and the tension among the social classes caused by incipient capitalism. The last victories of the Renaissance view can be considered the Edict of Nantes in France (1698) and the religious and political equilibrium achieved in England by Elizabeth I (d . 1603). Shakespeare (d . 1616) is one of the last representatives of a ...
676. The Amarna Coregency Controversy [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... ) began to reign, was his father still alive, and if so did he still hold any vestige of power? Conventionally A3 is thought of as a staunch traditionalist, with A4 promoting radical philosophical change. This seems a strong argument against a coregency, because of the difficulty of the two coexisting. But let us look at the religious underpinning of the later part of the reign of A3. He certainly had extensive temple building work carried out at Luxor, dedicated to Amun. However, there was a strong theme of devotion to the pharaoh himself. As well as being considered the son of a god, certain pharaohs asserted themselves gods during their own lifetime. At ...
677. "There's No Hiding Place Down There". Ch.3 In Fear And Trembling (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... Down There"In the summer of 1971 I spent some time in the Swiss Alps and made the acquaintance of St. Clair Drake, a professor of anthropology and sociology at Stanford University. He heard me lecturing and came to share with me what he, himself a West Indies black, had learned of eschatological beliefs among various ethnic and religious groups. After I listened to his animated narration I asked him to write down something of it. He did so, and with his permission I present here a few extracts from his already concise script. "I am impressed by the extent to which conscious preoccupation with catastrophes- past and present- is characteristic of the adherents of ...
678. A God by any other name: the Dead Sea Scrolls Deception by Michael Baigent & Richard Leigh [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Paul. He was responsible for formulating his own idiosyncratic theology, establishing the worship of Jesus as a kind of Adonis, of Tammuz, of Attis, or of any one of the other dying and reviving gods who populated the Middle East at the time. ' All the miraculous elements of early Christianity are Pauline inventions derived from more ancient religions and the idea of the worship of the person of Jesus would have appeared as extreme blasphemy to the man himself. Small wonder, then, that in the hands of the church, the message of the Dead Sea Scrolls is not universally proclaimed. Jill Abery The Older Testament: a study of Christian theology by Margaret Barker (reviewed ...
679. Baal-Manzer the Tyrian: A Reappraisal [Journals] [Aeon]
... Tyrian king list as we have it, due to the similarity of his name with that of his predecessor. This kind of emendation may be legitimate, but it seems a bit arbitrary. Is there no better solution? In his discussion of the element "manzer", Albright suggests that it is to be translated as something like "religious votary", from NZR, "to vow". (6 ) The Hebrew nazir is one who has taken a religious vow (nazirite), and sometimes has the meaning of a kind of religious leader. (7 ) Additionally, nezer is the Hebrew word for "diadem", a royal or semi-royal emblem in almost ...
... was a "rebel against almost all human learning" [133]: not an inter-disciplinarian but an antidisciplinarian. Those who lauded Velikovsky for his interdisciplinary approach were attracted, I believe, not by any specific demonstrable interdisciplinary validity in his work but because he claims to understand so much as to offer an integrated world-view: a substitute for the religion in which we no longer believe, which claimed the answers to all the really important questions in the confidence that all separate disciplines would arrive eventually at conclusions consonant with that overall world-view. It is that sort of global integration, across all disciplines, that is felt by many of us to be sadly lacking nowadays. None of the ...
