... restored by Ashurbanipal but no longer visible) - then Cyrus, then Alexander, followed by the Seleucids. Commagene was independent from 162BC under a king called Ptolemy. His grandson was Mithridates, whose son Antiochus Epiphanes built a number of monuments and left inscriptions. Gilbert went to see and studied the hierothesion' on Mount Nimrod. Antiochus' religion was a kind of Hellenised Zoroastrianism, including a syncretism of Greek and Persian gods and astrology. On Mt Nimrod is a Lion stele. According to Neugebauer and van Hoesen, 19 stars on the stele represent the constellation Leo; 3 more stars are identified with Jupiter, Mercury and Mars, plus a crescent moon. Gilbert spends much ...
972. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... computer analysis. Bass's paper needs no further recommendation to those who know it from Pensée and cannot be urged too strongly on those who do not. Vsekhsvyatskii's article presents his theory of the eruption of minor bodies from planets of the Solar System. Sin and the Control System is a provocative and highly readable informal essay scorning "explanations" of religion by "uniformitarian theologians" and suggesting that the concept of "sin" was invented to explain the visitation of catastrophes (as punishment) by an otherwise benevolent god. The author applies this thesis in a novel way to the methods of dogmatic Science. Dr Velikovsky's contributions are Were All Dinosaurs Reptiles?, assembled by the Editor from ...
973. On "The Year -687": A Postscript (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... as Earth's Shifting Crust. 5. Worlds In Collision, pp. 313-14. 6. (Osnabrück, Biblio Verlag reprint of the 1825 ed., 1970). Jaundiced because Bentley was laboring to show that the fantastic ages claimed for the books of the Hindus were merely gross impostures intended to keep the people from turning to the true religion, namely Christianity. For an amusing counterpoint to Bentley, there is V. Thiruvenkatacharya's privately printed booklet, The Antiquity of Hindu Astronomy and the Tamils (Madras, 1970), which claims an antiquity of 920,160,000 years for Zoroaster and quotes Madame Blavatsky as an authority for the date of the beginning of the Kali ...
974. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and depicts aspects of the physical model of the ancient Solar System which Talbott has concluded must have been that experienced by early man. Beginning with the Golden Age', Talbott reconstructs the catastrophic events which followed, as he infers them from the behaviour of the planetary gods depicted in myth. These events were at the inception of civilisation and religion and still permeate our cultures with their universal, but unrecognised, symbols of an alien sky. The End is Nigh!Remember the scare over asteroid XF11, which some astronomers predicted (wrongly as it turned out) would come dangerously close to Earth in 2028? Well from quite a different quarter two different groups of people are predicting ...

... who has focused his scholarship onthe Velikovsky controversy, and whose interests have ranged from ancient astronomy, calendars, and chronology, to paleoclimatology, and the dynamics of individual and collective belief systems. His previous publications have appeared in KRONOSand Catastrophism and Ancient History. Ev Cochrane, the author of Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion, has also published numerous articles on comparative mythology and archaeoastronomy. He previously served as an Associate Editor of KRONOS and is currently the publisher of AEON. J. Eric Aitchison was educated at Newcastle Boys High School in classics, Latin, French, History etc., but finished school early due to family finances. During varied employment ...
976. Comets, Polular Culture, and the Birth of Modern Cosmology [Journals] [Aeon]
... this assertion in two ways- first, by showing that neither scientific discoveries nor philosophical debates were sufficient causes for the decline in cometary divination; and second, by showing that Newton, Halley, and their followers continued to embrace key tenets of popular lore despite their hostility to vulgar astrological predictions...Where comets had portended revolution, religious reform, and agricultural change, Halley and Newton now made them active agents. In their theories, historical, sacred, and geological periods were punctuated by cometary catastrophes." [9 ] While arguing her case, Genuth provides a good overview of such theorists as William Whiston, who held that the close approach of a great comet ...
977. Obituary: Allan Beggs [Journals] [Aeon]
... " a privately distributed publication dating to March 1990, Allan cited a number of obscure myths from various Aboriginal tribes documenting the importance of the respective planets in their cosmology. In retrospect, it is obvious that this evidence constitutes an important link in the Saturnists' argument since it is most unlikely that the Aboriginal traditions were influenced by the astral religion of ancient Mesopotamia, an oft-heard objection to the theory. And, inasmuch as the Aboriginal traditions can be shown to share strikingly specific and unusual motifs in common with those from Mesopotamia and the New World, it is likely that they originated in direct observation of celestial phenomena. Allan subsequently presented a summary of his findings at the CSIS ...
978. Holocaust for Lucifer [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... and "Earth in Upheaval"; cf. P.A .F . Infos. 1 to 5, concerning the confirmation by Pioneer Venus results). Doesn't it go without saying that just this all-embracing analysis of our past must lead to the answers to the challenge raised by HOLOCAUST? The more so as the ideologies of philosophy, religion and science, normally ready to provide information about anything, have now become strangely silent and seem embarrassed and found out; this is hardly surprising, for these very doctrines were unmasked by the analysis as neurotic delusions under the cover of such historical truth - because it is unrecognised and repressed out of fear - conjures up, as a ...

... respect is Dr Kloosterman's reply to a letter from Peter James, published in the Comments section and attempting to correct some of the wrong impressions revealed in the reply to Harold Tresman's letter in the first issue. It is clear from this that his misunderstanding of Velikovsky's work, especially in the areas of "cultural amnesia" and the development of religion, goes deeper than was at first apparent. It is also hard for us to accept the continuing imputation of "reductionism": Velikovsky's theories, after all, are a poor example of this when compared to an outlook which prefers to ignore even the possibility, frequently suggested in the "mainstream" literature, of extra-terrestrial agents. ...
980. Herakles and Velikovskian Catastrophism [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , Herodotus7 writes: One of the silliest [accounts] is the story of how Heracles came to Egypt and was taken away by the Egyptians to be sacrificed to Zeus. .. . For me at least such a tale is proof enough that the Greeks know nothing whatever about Egyptian character and custom. The Egyptians are forbidden by their religion even to kill animals for sacrifice, except sheep and such bulls and bull-calves as have passed the test for "cleanness"- and geese: is it likely, then, that they would sacrifice human beings? The Hyksos were not Egyptians. So Herodotus was wrong when he dismissed what he called a silly story. He could not ...
