... revised chronology generally following Velikovsky's. The Phoenician role in taking to Greece Egyptian ideas, especially their alphabet, royal incest, and the Baal-Apollo cult. The anti-Persian and anti-Phoenician attitudes of Aeschylus and Sophocles- especially in the three Oedipus studies. The Persian efforts to seize all of Africa. Phoenician-Persian operations in Italy, and the establishment of the Roman republic. Biblical views about royal incest. The confusion of identities between the Jews and the Phoenicians in the ancient world. Such matters, of course, cannot be discussed at length within the framework of this article, but it is my intention to develop these themes, within the near future, in book form. These matters nevertheless ...
272. "The Seasons Alter": Catastrophism in A Midsummer Night's Dream (Continued) [Journals] [Kronos]
... , symbolizing the Earth in its stable form, mature love, wise attraction, a figure . . . representing a harmony and order in civil government which reflects the harmony and order of nature.(33) Such is not the whole picture, however. Shakespeare would undoubtedly have read of Theseus in Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans, translated by Sir Thomas North. There, he would have found Theseus linked with a Roman figure, as were all the Greeks in the book. In this case, Plutarch compares Theseus with Romulus, best known as the founder of Rome and representative of political and marital stability. But Romulus has another significance, a more deeply ...
273. The Mythical History of the Comet Venus (Part I) [Journals] [Aeon]
... independent instrument working on behalf of the intelligent design of creation.) If our analysis is correct, the "eye of life" and "eye of intelligence" noted above are really the same thing as the female heart-soul. And they can be categorized with such "power" and "wisdom" -goddesses as the Greek Psyche, Roman Anima, and Gnostic Sophia, all based on the same curious identity of the intelligent soul as mother goddess originally lodged in the center of the sun god.(48) The same can be said of the Hebrew Shekinah, which Barbara Walker compares to the Latin goddess I-dea, or"goddess within."(49) VENUS ...
274. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . John D. Weir, Edinburgh Dead Sea Pyramids?On a visit to Israel in 1995 we visited the Dead Sea, which is now shrinking because of falling water levels. The above photograph was taken by another member of our group as we descended from Masada in the cable car. We had just seen the marching camps of the Roman legions and were looking out over the salt flats recently uncovered as the Dead Sea retreats. We could clearly see a courtyard, pyramid, enclosing wall and ramp (see photograph). It is at least five times the scale of the Roman camps. In the photograph there appears to be a second complex on the right edge which ...
275. The Restoration of Ancient History [Articles]
... Neither Pasargade nor Persepolis have the appearance of permanent capitals', and they could not have functioned as such .. . Both lack permanent residence palaces .. . It seems that the Persians did not develop integrally conceived, coherent, completely organized, large- scale planning schemes before the Seleucid and Sassanian periods when they came under Hellenistic and Roman influence, respectively" (P . Lampl, Cities and Planning in the ancient Near East, London, 1968, p. 117ff.).

276. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... themselves had the technology to construct them because a recent attempt to build a pyramid using modern technology failed. That older technological expertise can be lost is attested by several examples, e.g . British Bronze and Steel Secrets', C&CR 2001:2 , p. 48. There is no denying the technological level of the Romans, or that they constructed their incredible aqueducts themselves and if certain chronological revisionists, including Emmet Sweeney, whose work Eric is questioning, are correct then there were not, in any case, the thousands of years Eric believes there to have been between the Romans and the time the pyramids were built. Secondly, the theory that such ...
277. The Dawn of Astronomy: A Study of the Temple-Worship and Mythology of the Ancient Egyptians [Books]
... three letters, then another two or three more, and finally an alphabet and syllabary were constructed. So it was not long before some of the inscriptions at Denderah were read. Then it was found that the temple, as it then stood, had certainly been, partly at all events, embellished so late as the time of the Roman emperors. Naturally there was then a tremendous reaction from the idea of fabulous antiquity which had been urged by the school of Dupuis. There were two radically opposed camps, led by Letronne, a distinguished archaeologist, and Biot, one of the most eminent astronomers of his day, and both these savans brought papers before the Academy of ...
278. Cosmic and Terrestrial Lightning [Books] [de Grazia books]
... powerful, highly developed and mysterious people of ancient Italy, the Etruscans, believed in the strictest set of relationships between the small Earth and the great and divine Universe [1 ]. They planned their cities astronomically, as did all early peoples, but, more specifically, worshiped lightning and gave "the thunderbolting god" Jupiter to the Romans. They founded a College of Lightning Arts (ars fulminum) at Visul. When a bolt of lightning struck, the ground became at that instant hallowed; no one might disturb it until priests made a site inspection and had concluded which of thirty types of lightning it was and what should be done about it [2 ]. ...
279. Racial Memory and Instinct: The Case of the Honeyguide [Journals] [Aeon]
... (24) And as the first scientific explanation of instinct offered from an evolutionary perspective, Lamarck's theory was destined to have a decisive influence upon subsequent discussions in the field. With the notable exceptions of August Weismann and Alfred Wallace, nearly every prominent naturalist of the nineteenth century adopted a "Lamarckian" explanation of instinct, including Darwin, Romanes, and Haeckel. (25) Darwin himself, as is well-documented, advocated the Lamarckian view of instinct as racial memory in no uncertain terms. Thus, in an early notebook, we read: "Now if the memory of a tune and words can thus lie dormant during a whole lifetime, quite unconsciously...surely ...
... every pleasant tree and herb and in which God himself was pleased to walk. It is reminiscent of the British Isles in antediluvian days. It was Paradise (from para, near, Dis, God), like the Garden of the Hesperides where the god Apollo walked also, or of the Fortunate Isles, a name given by the Romans to these Islands, for Solinus speaks of "the very Fortunate Islands of the Bretannides", and Eumenius associated them with the seas about Thule, or "Ultima Thule", the farthest land, otherwise Shetland. Pliny, also, speaks of the "six isles of the gods, which others call the Fortunate Isles", ...
