... . As the tombs built for the nobles are among the main sources of archaeological finds of metals in Egypt, the rare occurrence of iron smelted from ore can be explained to some extent by its deliberate omission in the choice of objects for the funeral chambers. Besides a natural fondness for shiny copper and bronze in preference to iron, a religious tabu may have played a role in the slow progress of iron. A tabu against using iron for certain purposes is known to have existed in Palestine- the stones of the Israelite altar must have been shaped without the use of iron (37); a similar tabu was observed in Greek and Roman cults (38), it was ...
872. Enheduanna and the Goddess Inanna [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Enheduanna would have devoted her life to the service of her own deity. She does mention Nanna - but he is depicted as powerless to intervene on her behalf. Nowhere is he praised. In contrast, it is the goddess Inanna who causes things to happen and it is she who is glorified. Although Enheduanna has not undergone a complete religious conversion (her loyalty to the moon god remains), there is the explicit recognition that the active deity is Inanna; it is she to whom praise and prayers are addressed. Something dramatic must have occurred to have caused a wavering in her religious affiliation, and it is logical to conclude that the hymn actually describes this critical happening ...

... made on the floor" (15). The new American excavation at Megiddo, carried out on a large scale, also produced equivocal material. Remains of buildings and graves were found in Megiddo. At some time point a new race came into the country and settled there. "A new people with a strong artistic feeling for its religion was invading the country at the end of the Middle Bronze Period. From the evidence of scarabs we must conclude that it was closely related to the earlier Hyksos . . ." (16). But the Hyksos are known to have been devoid of "artistic feeling" for their religion or anything else; they did not manifest ...

875. The Conquest of Canaan AND THE REVISED CHRONOLOGY [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of syncretism and compromise. The continual complaint of God through His prophets is that Israel failed to maintain her distinction from the other nations and cultures among whom she lived. The rot is diagnosed as having set in as early as the Conquest; instead of displacing the Canaanites, the Hebrew tribes settled alongside them and began adopting their culture and religion (Jud. 1:27-2:15). This picture is in keeping with the scheme I have offered above, for we find that at the end of the MBA, in spite of the destruction of many of the Canaanite cities and the abandonment of some of them for a very long time (the whole of the LBA ...
876. Martian Meteorites in Ancient Myth and Modern Science [Journals] [Aeon]
... composed of iron or stone, it is obvious that by vajra no ordinary "lightning-stroke" is meant, as the fall of stones does not typically accompany the latter phenomenon. How then are we to interpret Indra's heaven-hurled "stone"? Indra. From a South Indian wood carving. If we approach the matter from the standpoint of comparative religion, we find that many ancient peoples likewise described "thunderbolts" as stones thrown from heaven. Blinkenberg, for example, in his landmark study of the thunderweapon in ancient lore, summarized the ancient conception of lightning as follows: "The lightning, then, is produced by a stone which shoots down from heaven to earth." ...

878. Discussion Comments From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... SPEAKER: CLARK WHELTON My thanks to Alice Miller for kindly granting me a degree in amateur psychoanalysis. However, in her eagerness to defend Velikovsky she missed the main point of my article on fundamentalism and the revised chronology (AEON: I:6 ). I made it very clear that I do not regard Velikovsky as a theological or religious fundamentalist. I cited his "repeated willingness to question the literal truth of Bible stories." However, it is equally clear that Velikovsky was a chronological fundamentalist. He accepted the later chronology of the Bible (i .e ., post Exodus) as literally true. Until recently, I shared Velikovsky's chronological fundamentalism, and was ...

... belongs to the 10th century B.C ., i.e ., the time of King Solomon. It seems to have been "deliberately and finally" destroyed- just like the Timna Temple- probably at the time of the Assyrian invasion during the latter third of the 8th century B.C ., in connection with the religious reform by Hezekiah.132 Following this discovery, digging was renewed in 1966 and 1968 below the so-called Sun-temple at Lachish, also a border-town at the southern boundary of Judah. The temple had been discovered and excavated 30 years earlier by a British team which ascribed it to the Persian period. As expected, an Israelite sanctuary was located ...
880. Sun, Moon, and Sothis: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt by Lynn E. Rose [Journals] [Aeon]
... tend to wander ahead about one day every four years and, even if a pharaoh enjoyed a long reign for some thirty years, such holidays would be off by more than a week. Notwithstanding, the priestly order of Egypt stuck to their guns and retained their 365-day year, knowing full well that the 3651/4-day year and the religious year wouldn't be in alignment again for almost a millennium and a half- 1460 years: the Sothic period. (This term is the Greek transliteration of the Egyptian Sopdet, or spdt, ostensibly relating to the Star of Isis, Sirius.) To forestall any misalignments, the holidays- or "feasts" as they seem to ...
