141. Darkness and the Deep [Journals] [Aeon]
... something bigger than the present pin-point of light in the night sky. Can this much, at least, be verified? Evidence of Saturn's former proximity to Earth can be derived in quantum sufficit from the collective mythological record of the ancients but, for the present, the few items presented below should suffice. The first of these concerns the Roman god Janus. That Janus was merely another name for Saturn was known and acknowledged by the ancients themselves. Thus, in describing the New Year festival, Joannes, the Lydian, had this to say: Our own Philadelphia still preserves a trace of the ancient belief. On the first day of the month there goes in procession no ...

... reports, that this had led to many bitter chronological disputes between famous archaeologists, some of which remain unresolved today. Pottery from Mycenae in Greece was found in Egypt in association with Dynasty XVIII kings, so the start of the Mycenaean era was dated to around 1400BC. This was some 500 years earlier than implied by the early Greek and Roman historians. Yet their work had been studied and accepted by the world's leading scholars for over 2,000 years. When the Mycenaean era was pushed back some 500 years, an occupation gap between the end of the Mycenaean Age (about 15th-13th century BC) and the 9th century appeared in countries all round Egypt. This was called ...

... on the head and other parts of the body, with the prayer: " Homage to Siva (Sadyo-jata). May he preserve me in every birth. Homage to the source of all births." The pious Hindu Siva-worshipper also makes his sect-mark on his forehead with the same ashes.23 The purificatory ashes-rite survives also both in the Roman and the Greek Christian churches on Ash-Wednesday, Cinerum dies, when a cross is made on the forehead of the penitent with the ashes from the blessed palms and olive-branches of the previous year's Palm=Sunday or Branch-Sunday!

144. Sidelights on Velikovsky's 'Ages in Chaos' [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... that the queen of Egypt enterprised when she went to the marvelous country called Punt or Puanit. Well aware that modern erudition habitually finds Punt somewhere on the coast of east Africa, in or near Somaliland, or else on the western shores of Arabia, Velikovsky maintains that the Punt visited by Hatshepsut was the land of the people whom the Romans named Poeni, and the Greeks, Phoenicians. In their own tongue, which we call Hebrew, they were known as the Canaani. And one of the oldest Canaanite chroniclers, Sanchoniathon, of whose writings we know only what a single Hellenistic historian quoted, listed as one of their mythic ancestors Pontus, the son of Nereus, ...

... Saxo's Amlethus, in Ambales, in the Hrolfssaga Kraki, where the endangered ones, the two princes Helgi and Hroar (and in Saxo's seventh book Harald and Haldan), are labeled dogs, and are called by the dog-names "Hopp and Ho." Next comes what looks at first like the prototype of them all, the famous Roman story of Lucius Junius Brutus, the slayer of King Tarquin, as told first by Titus Livius. (The nickname Brutus again connotes the likeness to dumb brutes.) Gollancz says of it: The merest outline of the plot cannot fail to show the striking likeness between the tales of Hamlet and Lucius Iunius Brutus. Apart from general ...

... To understand the past as it really was and not as so many historians would assume it to have been, we must realize the extraordinary influence and power possessed by the god Hermes and why. He is a vital cog in the wheel of this investigation, perhaps the most important of all. We know from our Caesar that when the Romans invaded Britain they found that Hermes (or Mercury) was the Britons' chief deity, that he was Optimus et Maximus, and to whom they erected many images". Next to him -and only next-came Apollo, also another important clue to Britain's past. Homer depicts Hermes, in the short passage above, as he ...

... planetary interactions within historical times; that these disasters provided the miracles and apocalyptic imagery of the Bible and the inspiration for the cosmologies of the ancient world. Velikovsky culled his reconstruction from the Japanese, Chinese, and Hindu civilisations, the Iranian, Sumerian, Assyrian, Hitto-Chaldean, Israelite, and Egyptian records; the Etruscan, Attic, and Roman theogonies and philosophies; Scandinavian and Icelandic epics, Mayan, Toltec, and Olmec art and legends. ' (1 ) This picture he drew from them was that around 1500 BC the Earth came into disastrous conflict with the planet Venus - then on an elliptical orbit and with a tremendous cometary tail after originating by fission from Jupiter at ...

... year of just under 365.2422 days. Even this discrepancy can be reduced, by skipping a scheduled leap year several thousand years from now.) The Julian calendar, with its greater simplicity, is often used in preference to the Gregorian calendar, especially where astronomical matters or ancient history are concerned. When Rome conquered Egypt, the Romans had recently adopted a Julian year of 365 1/4 days. But the Egyptians still used a 365-day calendar, in which each of twelve schematic months had its own Egyptian name, and was 30 days long. (In earlier sources, the months within a given season were usually numbered rather than named.) Five epagomenal days ...

... have bull fights like those of Spain but do not kill the animals. The name of the (T )iber River (Italy) is also related to Iberia, in my opinion. Furthermore, in Eastern Turkey there is another group of Iberians. When I was taught Armenian history I was told that they got their name from the Romans who- for some reason- put Iberians on the west and Albanians on the east in their geography, and therefore did not establish any relationship to the Spanish Iberians. Since then, however, 1 have learned that the Iberians and the Mushkians (the Hittites of the historical period) were pushed out of Central Turkey to the Western ...
