... given by HAROLD WILSON, GEORGE BROWN, RICHARD CROSSMAN, GEORGE WIGG and others. There is, moreover, a fair degree of continuity between modern and medieval history. Elizabeth II can trace her lineage back to Egbert, who became king of Wessex in 802 AD. Notwithstanding the "dark age" in Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire in the West and the barbarian and Mohammedan invasions, medieval Christian civilisation was firmly rooted in the amalgam of Greek, Roman and Hebrew cultural, religious, legal and political traditions which survived, more or less intact, from the "universal" Roman Empire. The literary part of this heritage comprised the Old and New Testaments and ...
... allusion to the maritime tribe of Dan, "And Dan shall judge his people", meaning Poseidon. In short, Poseidon stood for the giant Lord of Strength or Most Powerful Lord. Later, when the Greeks and other revised their Pantheon, and Saturn or the Sun became predominant, Poseidon like Prometheus, suffered eclipse, and the Romans, calling him Neptune, limited his functions mainly to the overlordship of the seas, as indeed he was always There is a close connection between Poseidon and the Tyrian Hercules, whose name also signified Strength, or more correctly, Divine Strength or Force, and they appear to have been almost identical. This brings to the fore one ...
123. The Archangels, Part 2 Mars Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Gabriel descended from heaven and inserted a reed i n the sea. About this reed more and more earth was gradually deposited, and, on the day on which Jeroboam erected the golden calves, a little hut was built on the island. This was the first dwelling-place of Rome."6 Here Gabriel is cast in the role the Romans ascribed to Mars, that of the founder of Rome.7 Our assumption that it was the planet Mars which caused the destruction of the army of Sennacherib in the spring of -687 is implied also by rabbinical sources: Since the Archangel Gabriel is another name for the planet Mars, the ancient Jews knew the origin of the "blast ...
124. Indra and Brhaspati (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... planet Jupiter- to make this clear Prof. Pathak puts the Hindi word for planet (" graha") in brackets immediately after "Brhaspati", followed by a comma to separate it from the second, unrelated, meaning- and the god Indra, who, as ruler of the Vedic pantheon, is indeed equivalent to the ruling Roman god, Jupiter. If there is still any doubt left on the method used by Pathak, let us turn to another entry in the same dictionary (p . 617): "Pole . . . n. the two extreme points of the globe, the two opposite points of a magnet, a termination of an electric cell ...
125. Child of Saturn (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... , the Hellenes themselves never identified Athene as the planet Venus; Velikovsky's identification was based on comparative mythology. To the Greeks, the goddess of that planet was Aphrodite whom Velikovsky misidentified as the Moon.(1 ) Peter James has meanwhile replaced this goddess in the planetary niche where the sources demand she rightly belongs.(2 ) Aphrodite's Roman counterpart was Venus whom Velikovsky also identified as the Moon(3 )- which made for a somewhat confusing situation. As James pointed out, "One cannot argue with the obvious fact that Venus was Venus, in Greek Aphrodite".(4 ) Who was Aphrodite's father? The tale of Aphrodite's birth is well-known. Hesiod told ...
126. Velikovsky's "The Dark Age of Greece" [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of some 400 to 500 years is then thought to have divided Helladic Greece from the Ionian and classical ages, which mark the beginning of Hellenic Greece c. 700 BCE. The Hellenistic period begins c. 330 BCE with the advent of Alexander and the expansion of Greek culture eastward to India and southward to Egypt, and ends with the Roman conquest of Ptolemaic Egypt in 30 BCE. Most events in the Hellenic and Hellenistic periods are firmly anchored in time. However, the Helladic period- the time of the heroes of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey- supposedly has been cut loose from the anchor by the intervening "Dark Age." It is important to note that this age is not ...
127. Preface to the Antiquities of the Jews [Books]
... and to produce them for the benefit of the public, on account of the great importance of the facts themselves with which they have been concerned. Now of these several reasons for writing history, I must profess the two last were my own reasons also; for since I was myself interested in that war which we Jews had with the Romans, and knew myself its particular actions, and what conclusion it had, I was forced to give the history of it, because I saw that others perverted the truth of those actions in their writings. 2. Now I have undertaken the present work, as thinking it will appear to all the Greeks (2 ) worthy of ...
128. The Timna Test [Journals] [Aeon]
... precious metals never diminished, hence the ever-present need to mine them. Consequently, there could not have been a time when miners, of one national/political persuasion or another, were present. In this light, is Rothenberg's gap of "many hundreds of years," [19] between the withdrawal of the Ramesside miners and the Roman period, a probability? It hardly seems so. Keep in mind that our revised chronology, which places Ramesses III/Nekht-a-Neb in the fourth century of the previous era, significantly shortens the time span perceived by Rothenberg, and brings us almost to the threshold of the Roman period by absorbing most of the missing years. The intervening ...
129. AD Ages in Chaos: A Russian Point of View [Journals] [SIS Review]
... than a thousand years after it one can find pictures of young ladies in slip and bra. This is a typical Renaissance work of art. Fig. 3 Two portraits of the same person? Or of two relatives? In the history of art this two works of the same art style are dated with 14 centuries in between: a Roman portrait of AD 60 and a Renaissance portrait from the year 1474. In Zhabinsky's book (p . 157) hundreds of examples demonstrate that a big part of Renaissance art was set in ancient times by wrong dating traditions. I have got it in Russian translation, a sentence of Johan Huizinga, who wrote that in the Middle Age ...

Sample entry for a Saturn (reproduced with permission): 17:8 As an old Italic deity of sowing and harvest, Saturn became the Roman god of agriculture, gardening and vineyard cultivation. He was also a benefactor of humankind, a promoter of prosperity, and good manners and customs. He seems to have been portrayed as an old man with a sickle and a pruning knife in his hands. It is probably from that way to portray Saturn we have our image of ...
