... and Assyria, Egypt lacked native sources of high quality iron ore. The Egyptian soil, yearly inundated and enriched by the Nile floods, was muddy, fertile, and soft. It did not demand iron plows for cultivation as did the stony soils of Palestine, Assyria, and Anatolia. But there was also something else. "A religious tabu may have played a role in the slow progress of iron. . . . In Egypt iron was called bones of Seth, ' and played a role in religious beliefs and superstitions. Tiny symbolic instruments which served for opening the mouth' of the deceased and which were made of bia, the heavenly metal, the iron that ...
812. In Defence of Higher Chronologies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... as rags and tatters' and remnants' and advised us not to clutch at a straw' [31]. (Early Greek history is in much the same condition as Egyptian history.) Peiser notes some minor signs of flurry and rapidity in the 6th/5th century, which he refers to as a synchronization of major historical and religious revolutions, that occurred in quite similar ways throughout the ancient world' (274) and as an astonishing and conspicuous concentration of very important historical events' (279). However I find these various events underwhelming. Typical is the Sacred War' against the unfortunate inhabitants of Krisa in about -590. Krisa had been taxing those who ...
813. Northwest Indian Myths of Catastrophe [Articles]
... and the Shoshones and Bannocks. We don't want to pressure Indian elders to talk about these things if they want to keep them secret but it does substantially hamper research. Stories center on unique geological features-the Devils Tower in Wyoming being a primary example. Since these places were also often used for ceremonial purposes, it is often difficult to separate religious information from what we would call secular knowledge. For example the Acoma and Laguna have stories about a volcanic flow which might be tied to the lava tubes which are to be found between Albuquerque and Gallup, New Mexico. But the story is now incorporated in the traditional stories of these Pueblos and the sequence of natural events has been ...
... way I shall be prepared to conclude that great events were necessary to produce the more considerable difterences which I have discovered: I shall next take notice of the particular modifications which my performance should introduce into the hitherto received opinions respecting the primitive history of the globe ; and, last of all, I shall inquire how far the civil and religious history of different nations corresponds with the results of an examination of the physical history of the earth, and with the probabilities afforded by such examination concerning the period at which societies of men had it in their power to take up fixed abodes, to occupy fields susceptible of cultivation, and consequently to assume a settled and durable form. ...
815. Pillars of Straw [Journals] [Aeon]
... which subject I myself had taken into consideration. [29] And then he again naively asks: "If the Egyptians had a taboo against iron, why were they using it in this sacred rite?" [30] Here, Ginenthal's deficiency in knowledge concerning Egyptian rituals shows clearly through. As I myself had stated, "a religious exception seems to have been allowed in Egyptian funerary rites." [31] And the reason for this is simple enough. Since iron, or black copper if you will, was deemed to be a metal sent to Earth from heaven, it would have been considered divine (as it actually was). For that reason, ...
816. The Road to Saturn (Excerpts from an Autobiographical Essay) [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon I:3 (1988) Home | Issue Contents The Road to Saturn (Excerpts from an Autobiographical Essay)Dwardu Cardona PART II I 1977 saw the publication of George Michanowsky's The Once and Future Star. In this work Michanowsky maintained that the rise of civilization and the origin of religious beliefs owe their impetus to the sudden appearance of a bright light in the sky. But the similarity to the theory of Saturn's flare-up ends there. Michanowsky's theory was based on the remains of a supernova, in the form of a pulsar, discovered in 1968 by the Molonglo Radio Observatory in Australia. The pulsar was detected in the southern constellation Vela and thus received the ...
817. Introduction to Velikovsky [Articles]
... has been approached closely by a huge comet on at least two occasions within recorded history, for this flies in the face of all recent scientific doctrine. It takes courage to imply that, if you are correct, them such giants as Newton and Darwin are wrong, or at least insufficient, and myth has a historical basis, and religion is essentially true, and the standard Egyptian and Greek chronologies are out by about 500 years. and all of celestial dynamics has to be revised, and most geological theory is in error, and most archeological evidence has been incorrectly interpreted, and so on. It takes courage to publish one's theories, knowing they will challenge and most ...
818. Forum: In Defence of the Saturn Theory C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Dwardu Cardona, Wal Thornhill and I presented evidence in support of the theory, while Peter James offered a critique. I would like to address the main points of James's critique. Why was Saturn so important to the ancients? This question, which James concedes is one of the most baffling mysteries of ancient astronomy, history, and religion' [1 ], formed the subject of his article. He began by enumerating the various mythical motifs surrounding the Greek god Kronos and analogous Saturnian figures from other cultures, such as China and Mesopotamia. Included here are the following motifs: King of the Gods, Ruler of the Golden Age, first law-giver, banished god, ...

... , artifacts, and literary documents found in Assyrian strata with which Heinsohn then wanted to identify them. [14] Ginenthal then goes on with: "Cardona has shown that some Akkadian materials have been uncovered without the presence of Assyrian relics." [15] Some Akkadian materials? I listed graves, private dwellings, a wall, religious centers, temples, palaces, ziggurats, a military outpost, cylinder seals, literary documents, and other artifacts [16]- hardly some. Ginenthal also added: "When one civilization is much older than the other, it leaves its materials in deeper strata. In the most basic terms, if the present chronology is correct ...

LONDON VISITING SPEAKERS DR ALFRED DE GRAZIA, speaking "off-the-cuff" and answering questions at the meeting for members in London on 30th May last year: PALAEO-AETIOLOGY I believe that religions began as planet-worship, in the wake of such catastrophes as put forward by Velikovsky; I also believe that's where, owing to the disruption of the Solar System, mankind began as we know ourselves. "I think that at a certain point the early hominid was struck, possibly genetically, and the genetic change occurred at the same ...
