783. The Mount of Salvation [Books]
... , for all that. Later writers, whose works were incorporated in the Bible drawing on this folk-treasure of myth, and; the lore of neighbouring peoples freely admit that numerous groups of men found salvation from the flood on mountains, just as they admit that there was more than one ark, but, they had no strict and severe religious system to adhere to. The God of the prophets had already developed far beyond the world-shaper and, world destroyer conception. Yet even the redactor of the Book of Genesis was quite ready to admit, though only indirectly and not in so many words, that other people also somehow escaped from, the deluge, for he represents the ...
784. Possible repercussions of 'The Bible Unearthed' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to correspond with the kind of timescales pictured by Clube and Napier in their two books and Velikovsky brought the Mars scenario to an end in 687BC (an arbitrary and speculative date that may have no foundation in fact). Finkelstein & Silberman are especially interesting when dealing with the reign of Josiah and the rise of what they call an exclusive religion that appeared to shut itself off from the outside, hostile world, inward-looking and fuming at the Egyptian intrusion that spoilt their dream of Greater Israel. This is demonstrated most clearly in their antagonism to intermarriage with deportees placed by the Assyrians in their former homeland. This ban was extended into the entire Deuteronomist historiography in order to present the ...
785. Athens Quakes [Books] [de Grazia books]
... that it must represent an age when the ground below was in a continuous grinding torment of electrical and mechanical churning at high temperatures. Earthquakes are frequently a time to placate gods, go to war, and change governments. For a while we shall see not only a brisk commerce in plastering and selling bric-a-brac, but also a certain heightened religious enthusiasm. Something of this religious feeling must be behind the notion bandied about that the Mother Earth of Attica was rejecting the body of onetime Queen Frederika from burial in its soil (an event which had taken place only days earlier), an idea actually foreshadowed by one newspaper, although unaware of the imminence of the earthquake. Such ...

Dow, Rt. 1 Box 164-B, Babson Park, Florida 33827, would like to start a personal correspondence with a member in the UK, with a view to exchanging "thoughts, ruminations, speculations, etc." on all aspects of Velikovsky's theories.

787. Letter to the Editor from Christoph Marx [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... our collective amnesia. The central event was being left alone by what I have termed the Factual Deities, who had- in full view!- been ruling (rewarding and punishing) the world ever since humans have become conscious of life. They lived on in the collective memory system- language- as Verbal Deities in many philosophical, religious, and political images, compensating the fear of being abandoned in chaos. The Great Turning would divide human history into its respective eras, but it would also be the most powerfully repressed fact. Our era of Verbal Deities should come to an end, once the reconstruction can be brought to the collective mind's consciousness-- as matters ...
788. A New Interpretation of the Assyrian King List [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... As with many Ancient Near East issues the question is many-sided and points to more than one possible answer.11 The answer to this basic question is tied up with the question of what the Assyrian Kinglist was intended to be. Is it a witness to the dynastic principle in Assyria? Is it a political charter? Does it promote a religious program? Is it all of these? Or none of the above? Previously the Sumerian Kinglist was thought to represent an unbroken sequence of city states. However, additional finds and rethinking have determined otherwise. While the Sumerian Kinglist is held responsible for this misleading interpretation,12 it is perhaps fairer to realize that we inform the texts ...

... with another small hill toward the equinox sunrise direction. There are also numerous petroglyphs in small caves which would be struck by the rising or setting equinox sun. It should be noted that "outsiders" which includes uninitiated Aboriginal men as well as boys, women, and all non-Aboriginals, are not permitted at sites actively used in the Aboriginal religions. This suggests that the initiates may be protecting the meaning of the "abstract" symbols as secrets of the religion. These suggestive associates and alignments dervere more careful study and position surveys.

... are not divergent phenomena, or phenomena that, in the opinion of some modem philosophers, take place in defiance of what is supposed to be physical laws; they are more in the nature of occurrences implicit in the dynamics of the univers e, or, in terms of that philosophy, convergent phenomena. "Lest by chance restrained by religion"- and we may read science' instead of religion'- "you should think that earth and sun, and sky, sea, stars, and moon must needs abide for everlasting, because of their divine body," think of the catastrophes of the past; and then "look upon seas, and lands, and ...
