... generally out- replaced by efforts to associate Velikovsky with "fringe science," "cultic followers," "irrationalism," and mysticism." In reading certain editorials in scientific journals, one receives the impression that the strong walls of Science stand in imminent danger of being breached at several points by the growing public interest in parapsychology, Eastern religions, astrology, the occult- and, of course, Velikovsky. Some of these writers simply express their amazement at the amount of ignorance and superstition still remaining in the scientifically advanced countries, despite long efforts by scientists to educate the public. Others are alarmed at the threat this superstition poses for the integrity of the scientific process. All ...
712. Possible Ways Forward [Journals] [SIS Review]
... evidence for old ideas, to strengthen and illuminate them further, and we need new ideas backed up by good evidence. Here is a newish idea: Claude Schaeffer concluded that there had been an upheaval during Akhenaten's reign, or just before it. Is there any more evidence of this? Could such an upheaval have been associated with the religious revolution Akhenaten initiated? Is there a similarity between Akhenaten's religious revolution (in the wake of a supposed upheaval) and Moses' religious revelation consequent on the Exodus catastrophe? There is a need to quote sources, or authors who have a prior claim on an idea. Yesterday, the preamble to Lewis Greenberg's Lion Gate at Mycenae' ...

714. On Dragons and Red Dwarves [Journals] [Aeon]
... the King of the Gods is restored to power) and Creation is allowed to unfold. Significantly, a prominent episode in several cosmologies finds the Creator building his throne upon the body of the vanquished dragon. Given its antiquity and prevalence, it would be difficult to overestimate the significance of the myth of the dragon-combat for an understanding of ancient religion and ritual. With this brief synopsis of the dragon-combat behind us, we turn to the Vedic account of Indra and Vritra. The Defeat of the Dragon and the Release of the Sun Our discussion of the traditions surrounding Indra revealed that the occasion of the hero's birth was associated with great tumult in heaven and earth.

715. The Archaeology of Shiloh and Pottery Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Danes who eventually wrote up his excavations redated most of the Iron Age I pottery to Iron Age II and said the destruction was probably the work of the neo-Assyrian king Sargon in the late 8th century. The Israelis re-established the Iron Age I date for the pottery and its destruction by the Philistines! They also established that Shiloh had been a religious centre in the preceding Middle Bronze (MB) and Late Bronze (LB) periods. According to the revised chronology suggested in an earlier article [Porter 1990], the MB town would have been the main Israelite one with the sanctuary and the Ark: the Iron Age I period would not represent the arrival of the Israelites since ...
716. Moderating the Middle Ages [Journals] [SIS Review]
... after the Crucifixion, Christianity had assimilated much of the pagan cults of the Roman empire; Hislop's The Two Babylons [4 ] is a classic work on the topic. Fomenko himself lists Purgatory, holy water, crossing oneself, mass, consecration wafer, host and communion bread as Mithraic items, the only difference between their use in that religion and in Catholicism being the centuries between the faiths in traditional chronology. Isis worship also included matins, vespers and liturgies. Pagan gods and heroes became saints. It is accepted that the medieval Church inherited much of its doctrine and practice from these religions, which in turn had inherited such from ancient Babylon. No', says Fomenko ...
717. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1996:1 Home | Issue Contents Bookshelf Breaking the Maya Code by Michael D. Coe Thames and Hudson 1992 A very readable account of the progress over the last hundred years in deciphering the Mayan script, from complete mystery to the detail of dating, rulers' histories, religious ceremonies and mythology which can be interpreted today. The personal involvement of the author with many of the great names in Mayan glyph decipherment makes for some interesting insights into the human background of a great achievement - not much different, I suspect, from the goings on in most other disciplines, where the rule of one or two strong personalities can hold back ...
718. The Age of Moses [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... household where he received a royal education. When Moses was grown to manhood, he killed an Egyptian overseer who was smiting a Hebrew and because this eventually became known to all, he escaped to Midian. There he spent the better part of forty years in the service of his father-in-law Jethro, tending sheep, raising a family and studying religion. He received a call from God to return to Egypt and help the descendents of Israel break from their bondage and move back to the land promised by God to Abraham and Isaac. With his brother Aaron as spokesman, he returned and organized the proposed exodus. God intervened on the side of the Israelites and through a series of ...
719. The Rebirth of Nature [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... resonance, and nothing that wasn't included in Sheldrake's earlier books. Although much of The Rebirth of Nature overlaps with The Presence of the Past, this time it is given a greener' slant, with frequent references to the positive feelings most of us have towards nature. The third and final part of the book is much more concerned with religion than conventional science, and is entitled The Revival of Animism'. It deals with such matters as the Gaia Hypothesis, the spirits of places, shamanism, mystical experiences and prayer. Sheldrake writes: "Each of us, faced with the mystery of our existence and experience has to try and find some way of making sense of ...
720. Facing Many Problems, Part 2 Epilogue (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... on the substratum of rock as having been carried, not by ice, but by onrushing gigantic tides caused by change in the rot ation of the terrestrial globe; thus we accounted for moraines that migrated from the equator toward higher latitudes and altitudes (Himalayas) or from the equator across Africa toward the South Pole. We recognized that the religions of the peoples of the world have a common astral origin. The narrative of the Hebrew Bible concerning the plagues and other wonders at the time of the Exodus is historically true and the prodigies recorded have a natural explanation. We learned that there was a world conflagration and that naphtha poured from the sky; that only a small proportion ...
