181. The Shrine of Baal-Zephon [Journals] [Aeon]
... or Sirbonis), which was the ancient Greek name of the present Sabkhat al Bardawil. This is a salt-water lagoon which is separated from the Mediterranean by the very narrow causeway of the Bardawil Peninsula upon which modern Cape Burun is located. At one point, this peninsula rises into a moderate hill, 97 feet high, which the later Romans called Mons (that is Mount) Casius. Until now, this mount's only claim to fame has been as the site at which Pompey, fleeing from Julius Caesar, was assassinated by the order of Ptolemy XIII. Egyptian fortress, or Migdol (this one from Dynasty 12, in the Faiyum) (Illustration by John Green) ...

182. The MacCecht and Cuchulainn [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... spear of lightning, the thunderbolt of the gods, a meteor. The Gaulish tribe of Meldi appear to be directly linked to the Gaelic or Goidel Mileadh, or Sons of Mil. This group formed the ruling elite of early Christian Ireland and appear to have migrated from Gaul (hence Gael) shortly before or after its conquest by the Romans in 50BC, establishing control over various Irish tribes. The tribal name Meldi comes from the god Meldos = thunderbolt. It reappears in Welsh as mellt = lightning (in Breton mell) and in Irish as an element of Singmall = powerful thunderbolt (or extraordinary). Erainn/Erann was the deity that wielded the weapon of the ...

... to give an example, recent excavations at Tell el Kudelath, which is probably the biblical Kadesh-Barnea, have found this Negev ware in all the strata that can be dated to the 10th-6th centuries BC, so it certainly remained in use down to the 6th century BC, and it's also likely that it occurs even later, perhaps even in Roman times. Therefore with the Timna examples pushed back to at least 1300 BC by the Egyptian finds, we end up with a pottery that seems to have a life span of at least 800 years, perhaps even 1000 years, which seems a bit improbable. I'll comment later on what I think the true situation is. Moving on ...

184. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 2000 is about 300 years away, giving contractors plenty time to complete London's Millennium Dome and Jubilee Line extension. The initial reaction is that it is obviously ridiculous. How and why could this mistake have been made, and why was it not noticed earlier? Surely somewhere there must be a continuous written record dating from the time of the Romans? Surely the priests of the Vatican and Islam kept such records? Surely there must be archaeological evidence which can be safely dated somewhere within this period? What about the Chronicles of the Rev. Bede (673-735)? Is it true that there are no known documents carrying an AD date before what we now call 1000AD? A ...

185. The Hermes Connection [Journals] [Aeon]
... (1 ) The Personification of this Polar Column was none other than the demiurge Hermes himself, as The Way, The Path, and The Light. This thesis implies that the present planet closest to the Sun- the one we call "Mercury" today- was not involved in the myths surrounding Hermes, despite the identity with the Roman god who shares the planet's name. The planetary identification came much later, after the final collapse of the Polar Column and a clearing of the mists, exposing the night sky for the first time with all its fearful darkness. The impression of the Polar Column captured the imagination of ancient civilizations and left its imprimatur on their creative art ...

... can be rightly considered fascinating- as this most certainly is- the fascination lies in the hideous appeal to our ghastly sense of humor, in that we typically grimace in the face of horror in an attempt to view these events clinically and even apathetically to shield our respective psyches from the reality of it all. In 476 ad the imperial Roman empire had run its course after more than six centuries of conquest and expansion. The seat of power and influence then moved to Constantinople, which had its own set of political problems with its feisty neighbors. The Ostrogoths had conquered and vanquished Rome, opening the doors for Christendom with its promise of better things in the hereafter. For ...

187. The Death of Heracles [Journals] [Aeon]
... cult celebrating the ritual immolation of Heracles has only recently been confirmed. In 1920 archaeologists working at a site upon Mt. Oeta discovered effigy-like figurines of the great hero which had apparently been subjected to repeated firings. (22) Judging from the artifacts found at the site, the cult persisted from at least the 6th century BCE well into Roman times. (23) Upon the discovery of the Oetean cult, Nilsson drew the now generally accepted conclusion that the rite had given rise to the myth of the hero's immolation: Such a bonfire was kindled on the top of Mount Oeta and the figure burned on the pyre was called Heracles. This is proved by early inscriptions and ...

... had his range of activity narrowed down to war." [13] [* chthonic (chthonian) = pertaining to the earth or the underworld and the deities inhabiting it: ghostly] Summarising thus far, it is fair to say that the cult of Mars has proved to be no easy nut to crack. Leading authorities on ancient Roman religion have arrived at diametrically opposite opinions in reviewing the same evidence. Certainly it is true to say that a consensus has yet to be reached regarding the god's origins and original sphere of influence, nor does a resolution appear likely in the foreseeable future. Perhaps the time has come for a new approach to the problem. With the ...

... not a "contemporary Chaldaean document". Regarding his claim that the script was a "secret" one used by the Chaldaeans, why did all the inscriptions that use it record the ordinary wars and public works of the kinglets of Syria and south-eastern Anatolia? One question remains to be dealt with - the supposed silence of the Greek and Roman writers regarding the Hittites and their Empire. Velikovsky claims that Hittite hieroglyphics were used in Cappadocia as late as the Roman period, and that "the Chaldaeans, as Roman and Greek authors testify, were still present in Commogene and in Asia Minor till at least the first century of the present era" (p . 250), ...

... , increasingly confident that doomsday was reddening for the "People of the Book." Acquaintances of the Freud family could estimate the direction of that influence by the Christian names and early education he gave his sons, and the fact that two of his grandsons had been named after Lucian, the Greek mocker of religion, and Clemens, the Roman nobleman alleged to have been a convert to Christianity, who died in the downfall of the Flavian dynasty in 96. For what reason did Freud speed the publication of his odd theory that Moses had been an Egyptian priest or aristocrat who strove to impose his foreign creed and dictatorship on barbaric Israelite slaves, whom he had picked for the ...
