... concerned has recently been directed at NASA by a US Congressional Sub-Committee. No doubt the question is seen as having been prompted by purely scientific considerations, but from the viewpoint of a historian any notion that cosmic catastrophes are a particularly neoteric issue would have to be regarded as singularly wide of the mark. Thus, as far back as the Roman Empire in its prime, those in authority would have been advised as to the possibility of a destroying angel or thunderbolt which devastates whatever it strikes and changes the state of public and private affairs'. Several centuries before this, a noted Greek source, relying on Egyptian knowledge, would speak of circulating astronomical bodies and of torrents from ...

283. Trisms and Planetary Iconography [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , Qadesh wa Amrus, saddles (23) (cf. Ovid's Venus disguised as a fish as she fled Typhon). Recall Jesus' ride into Jerusalem on an ass, with palm leaves- a symbol of the phoenix and of Venus- strewn before him. (24) Finally, Figure 53, my sketch of a wall rubbing of Roman graffito further demonstrates the similarity between these trisms. An ass-headed human figure is depicted on a wall. It is being crucified. Figure 53 Figure 54 The gods Typhon-Set, Yahweh, Abraxas, Olokun and Cernunnos are trisms, and Mithras and Christ, previously discussed, may also be added to the list. Mithras and Christ are both ...
284. Spectres [Books] [de Grazia books]
... heavens of the existing age were supposed to have been created on the date Ce Acatl, not on the date that signified the Sun. Ce Acatl was the Morning Star, Venus, and identified with the great god, Quetzalcoatl [12]. Quetzalcoatl was also the name of a bird of gorgeous plumage. Marcus Varro, the learned Roman author, reported that once long before his time the planet Venus changed its color, size, form, and course, a strange prodigy which, he said, had happened never before or since. That Venus displayed colors more frequently is suggested in an article on color in the Reallexikon von Antike und Christentum (1969), speaking ...
285. Part IV: Conclusions [Ragnarok] [Books]
... must have been only yesterday that the mound builders wrought in the valley, for in the few centuries that have elapsed since then the surface of the ground has risen only a few feet-not enough to bury their works out of sight. How long ago, then, must it have been that the race lived there whose pavements and cisterms of Roman brick now lie seventy feet underground?" Mr. Curtis does not mean that the bricks found in this prehistoric settlement had any historical connection with Rome, but simply that they resemble. Roman bricks. These remains, I learn, were discovered in the vicinity of Memphis, Tennessee. The details have not yet, so far as ...
286. Hittites and Phrygians [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History IV:2 (July 1982) Home | Issue Contents Hittites and Phrygians Phillip Clapham Sites associated with the 9th and 8th century (B .C .) kingdom of Urartu in the mountainous Transcaucasus that became the later Armenia of the Greek and Roman worlds appear abruptly in the archaeological record as fully developed iron-using societies. Robert Hewsen1 has highlighted a number of discrepancies in the orthodox time scheme that can best be explained by Velikovskian revision. Archaeologically, Urartu, like archaic Greece and Phrygia of the early first millennium B.C ., is a paradox, for it is preceded by a dark age that is culturally and physically bereft of signs ...
287. The Blasted Career of the Mighty Swordsman [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of the Mighty Swordsman A Homeric hymn addressed Ares: "who whirl your fiery sphere among the planets in their sevenfold courses through the aether wherein your blazing steeds ever bear your above the third firmament of heaven." [1 ] Ares had many names and epithets in and among the peoples of the world. He is Mars of the Romans, Nergal of the Babylonians, Gokihar (and Indra) of the Hindus, Odin of the Teutons, Huitzilopochtili of the Aztecs, and the Archangel Gabriel of the Jews. In Babylonia, writes P.F . Gossmann, he is Nergal, and also Era, Irra, and Death [2 ]. Odin had over fifty ...

... was done. Weeping and lamentation filled the land..... Any explanation of dies irae of Babylonia must be sought in some myth concerning the nineteenth of the first month. Why should the nineteenth day after the moon of the spring equinox be a dày of wrath ? .. . It corresponds to the quintquantrus' of the Roman farmer's calendar, the nineteenth of March, five days after the full moon. Ovid says that Minerva was born on that day, she being the Pallas Athena of the Greeks. The nineteenth of March was Minerva's day." Vhere refers to S.Langdon's "Babylonian Menologies and the Semitic Calendars"(1935), p. ...

... stationary with respect to the seasons. The introduction of a leap year is connected with the name of Julius Caesar. Octavianus Augustus made the calendar with leap years the legal calendar in Rome, and a few years later, in -26 or by other calculations in -29, introduced it in Alexandria in Egypt. The Egyptians of the Hellenistic and Roman periods knew that the length of the year is 365 ¼ days: the Canopus Decree and the writings of Diodorus of Sicily [3 ] prove it. It is possible that Caesar borrowed this knowledge from the Egyptians, but they themselves were reluctant to make their religious year equal to their astronomical year. The Roman authors of the first ...

... of stone houses, dated as 7,000 years old, have been found on an island off Abu Dhabi. In Libya evidence is emerging of an advanced civilisation, with cities, a 3,000 mile network of underground irrigation canals and a huge empire. The Garamantes appear in literature as a people on the southern fringes of the Roman Empire and were assumed to be simply desert barbarians, but by 100 BC they had become a major political force and in the early centuries AD were one of the Romans' main trading partners. Falling groundwater levels and the decline of the Roman Empire eventually led to their demise as a civilisation. In the New World archaeologists have discovered ...
