... . They even cultivated rice - not as an economic way of life but as a supplement to their diet, which was based mainly on fishing and seafood, including seaweed, very similar to the modern Japanese diet. In fact, Hancock ushers in evidence that a lot of Japanese myth may have roots in the Jomon culture and the Shinto religion too. His idea is that they venerated the landscape and the natural world, even engineering changes in the landscape to make its shape more agreeable. Landscape engineering is thought to have occurred in pre-farming societies in various other parts of the world, including Egypt, Britain, and Ireland. The changes made are subtle, rather than monumental ...
762. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... as a starting point for my exploration of a number of questions than other catastrophist approaches, including Velikovsky's, was that the "Saturnist" group seems to have approached mythology in a systematic cross-cultural comparison to see if "prototypical" myths can be found. I've been interested in trying to find out if there are any significant similarities in different religious and mythological traditions. "Saturnist" catastrophism pointed me to parallels I sure hadn't expected. Very interesting and stimulating. My belief in evolutionism certainly has been undermined, and my respect for, and interest in, religious traditions and their perspectives has been growing in different ways. I've also watched David Talbott's Remembering the End of the World ...
... temper, no way disposing him to disturb the public. But she retained the younger, Aristobulus, with her as a private person, by reason of the warmth of his temper. 2. And now the Pharisees joined themselves to her, to assist her in the government. These are a certain sect of the Jews that appear more religious than others, and seem to interpret the laws more accurately. low Alexandra hearkened to them to an extraordinary degree, as being herself a woman of great piety towards God. But these Pharisees artfully insinuated themselves into her favor by little and little, and became themselves the real administrators of the public affairs: they banished and reduced whom ...
764. Scientifically speaking... [Journals] [Pensee]
... , and the next year would then start at an earlier part of the season than in the previous year. New Year day would slide around the entire cycle of seasons in roughly 32 years (365/11 1/4 ). Even if people might find some enjoyment in the novelty of New Year's celebrations progressing through all seasons, religious constraints reinforced other preferences for seasonal regularity- and forced adjustments of the lunar calendar. Add a month now and then, for instance. In the Hebrew Bible, specifically, the feast of the harvest of "the first-fruits of thy labours, which thou sowest in the field" is prescribed to fall "On the fifteenth day of this ...

766. Velikovsky: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow [Journals] [SIS Review]
... flow of evidence moving in Velikovsky's direction: rising thermal gradients; hydrocarbons; magnetic anomalies. Most importantly, now that I had viewed human history through catastrophist eyes there was no turning back. Prior to reading Velikovsky, I had often wondered how the uniformitarian scenario I learned in school could have produced the militant cultures and frenzied, blood-rite sky religions that characterise much of human society. Velikovsky explained it all. I wrote him a semi-apologetic letter and was again invited to his home. In the years that followed I became an ardent advocate of his ideas but it was not until 1977 that I attempted to write another article about his them. Peoples of the Sea (the second ...
... here, too, the suppliers; many of the slaves were also sacrificed in pagan ceremonies. The nineteenth-century explorers, Dr. David Livingston, Sir Samuel Baker and Dr. Heinrich Barth described these practices. Black slaves were until quite recently bought and sold in Arabian markets, especially on the Arabian Peninsula. With the spread of the Mohammedan religion among the blacks of the eastern coast of Africa, the traders posed as missionaries, inviting the faithful to embark on pilgrimages to Mecca. On arrival they were sold, never to return to Africa to tell the true story of their travels. In the littoral king-doms, in the emirates and sultanates of the Arabian Peninsula, slavery was ...

... also royal seal impressions of Tutankhamen. A few bricks with the signet impres sion of Tutankhamen were found strewn on the floor among ob jects pertaining to Tiy. If Akhnaton reigned for sixteen or seventeen years, and was twenty-six years old at his death, he must have started his reign at the tender age of ten and intro duced his religious reform and written his hymn to Aton, for which he is known as "the first monotheist," in his early teens. Some scholars accepted this scheme but ascribed to Tiy the initiative and the active part in the religious reform, and at tributed the authorship of the hymn to Ay. But obviously such conjectures are very strained ...

... even when the statements are unequivocal. I quoted Sigmund Freud, from the Preface to his The Interpretation of Dreams (second edition), on the "brilliant example of the aversion to learning anything new so characteristic of the scientists." I concluded: "Not so long ago science had to struggle to free itself from the shackles of religion. Now it is as dogmatic as religion once was. Ideas that were revolutionary, schismatic, and damned in the nineteenth century are beatified and pronounced infallible in the twentieth, by the same guardians of dogma." ...
