... architecture and decided there was no purpose to it whatsoever. (2 ) Despite the speculation, common sense should tell us that megalithic man did not labour so intensively, for so long, unless he thought he was achieving something pretty important. In historical times, grand works of this nature have always been tied up with a magical or religious theme. Megalithic man was unlikely to have been much different. Thus we should seek in his works some magic or religious purpose. Skull and reconstructed facial features of Neanderthal man, a race that seems to have been exter-minated around 35,000 years ago. Was Neanderthal man the victim of a world-wide catastrophe? Stonehenge gives us a ...
752. Myth, Mandala, and the Collective Unconscious [Journals] [Kronos]
... more imposing celestial figure than it is today. Assuming the same type of collective analogy to Jupiter as the cosmic dragon to the proto-planet Venus, the speculation offered here is that the spontaneous artistic selection of the four-fold mandala by small children, its collective nature in the unconscious psychology of children and adults, and its ubiquitous appearance in the world's religious symbols, may all trace to the common root of cataclysmic activity associated with Horus-Jupiter. If so, activity of the symbol in the unconscious mind could represent an example of a collective image related to cataclysmic experience which has demonstrable biological roots through its maturational staging in children's art. From this perspective, a painting and related verbal associations produced ...
753. The 'Unconscious' as a Literary Revolt Against Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of the problem-area. He has long been familiar with the literary giants that constitute the "panel of respondents" for the study, Doestoevsky, Mann and the others, and used most of the tools and concepts in other areas. In the past dozen years, he has been working steadily in the history of science and its relations to religion, legend and ancient literature, and upon the origins of human nature, the results of which research have begun to appear only very recently. Lately, he has come to think that a new paradigm of science may be imminent, one which synthesizes the uniformitarian and catastrophist Weltanschauung in futuristic terms. Within the last decade, the universe ...
754. "Only One Sister O'er His Bier". Part 2 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... In a long article in German, Gunther Roeder brought together everything known or imagined about King Smenkhkare; he expressed his perplexity at the ill-assorted equipment in the tomb, "unworthy of a pharaoh," and his skepticism that this riddle would ever be solved. Roeder suggested that there must have been one faithful soul who had known the true religion of the dead king and placed a holy talisman with the name of Aton on his body: Smenkhkare had formally returned to the religion of Amon.2 Another important article concerning one of the finds in this tomb appeared recently in the Bulletin of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.3 Cyril Aldred studied the hair styles of ancient Egypt and ...
755. Site Stratification: is it a Sound Methodology? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , he notes that [6 ]: "the bodies all lay on their backs, rigidly extended, with the hands crossed below the stomach, a position not found in Mesopotamian graves of any later date until the Greek period; such a difference in the ritual of burial is most important in that it implies a difference in the basic religious beliefs of the people." Could these not, in fact, be the graves from the Greek period? After all, Ur existed after the time of Alexander. Second, any normal person, not bent on seeing distinctions in order to justify his methodology, would have great difficulty in distinguishing al-Ubaid pottery from similar pottery produced at ...
756. Dance of the Planets [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... was called the god of war for good reason - because it created havoc as it approached the Earth. The ensuing earthquakes and floods were used by warring nations in their battle plans. This was an exciting and dangerous time to live on Earth. Also of great interest to many, are the implications of our scenario for the advent of religion and the advent of modern man on Earth. We postulate that the planets which approached the Earth were the source of all eastern and pagan religions, in fact, it was the worship of these threatening bodies among the Jews, that so upset Jehovah. The beginning of the 3000 years of chaos, which we call the Vedic period ...
757. Saturn's Sacred Mountain [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... one and the same phenomenon, but they are just as often described as independent manifestations, even if visually overlapping one another. My own opinion is that until this particular aspect is analyzed more fully a verdict should be withheld. In any case, it was the Saturnian configuration as a whole that left its indelible mark on man- his religion and civilization- and not merely the Sacred Mountain as Seitz would have us believe. In fact, as I hope the above makes clear, the Sacred or World Mountain, whether a physical uplift of land or not, cannot be understood as a phenomenon in isolation. The very mechanics which sustained it were directly coupled to the spinning ...

... group from group (a situation experienced as enmity), but even ego from conscience within individuals (a situation experienced as guilt). To lessen the emotional pain occasioned by these negatives of feeling and conduct, our species has compulsively imposed on itself a penitential burden of ritual. The ceremonial activity involved, though sometimes thought of in exclusively religious terms, actually pervades all aspects of human life involving every daily and yearly routine, but above all, that of work. Underlying the several feelings of distress cited above is one yet more primal passion: fear. This fear is most conspicuously, though variably, expressed in the form of prohibitions, violations of which elicit reactions of ...

... present a true and scandalous account of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt'. O'Farrell accepts uncritically the theories of his friend Ahmed Osman [4 ] that Yuya, the great-grandfather of Tutankhamun, should be identified with the patriarch Joseph; that Akhenaten was Moses and was driven with the Semites from Egypt; that Tutankhamun returned to the Aten religion and reinstated the old gods as mediators with God (precursors of the angels) '. Osman argues that Jesus and Joshua are one and the same - and that both are Tutankhamun [5 ] .. ., that Tutankhamun went to Sinai [6 ] to see his father and was murdered by the high priest of Aten [ ...
