... adds, "The inclination it now has was received at a later period." If it had been inclination alone the calendar could have been more easily adjusted, but if its orbit, for the same reason, were increased, fresh days in proportion were added. That such a change is possible in a planet is confirmed by the Roman Varro, called the most learned of the Romans, who said that the planet Venus underwent a great change in the reign of Ogyges. It changed its diameter, its colour, its figure, and its orbit. * A, W, Whatmore: "Insulae Britannica," p. 213 187. We talk of the Flood ...
372. Thoth Vol I, No. 13: May 16, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the sky." Throughout the ancient Near East, according to the comprehensive research of H. P. L'Orange, the "King of the Universe" appears as a central sun, "the Axis and the Pole of the World." These archaic traditions can help us re-interpret the images of the sun god kept alive by Greek and Roman symbolists. In astrological representations, the primeval "sun" occupies the central, axial position while the other planets or stars revolve around him. The definitive celestial profile of Helios is as Basileus, the Royal Sun, recognized by Franz Cumont as the prototype of terrestrial kings or princes surrounded by their guards. In the time of the ...

... , and there is evidence of a tidal wave. The temperature fell by 3 C across Europe, the snow line on the Scandinavian mountains dropped suddenly from 6,250ft to 4,950ft and glaciers developed in the Alps where none existed before. I was unaware, until prompted by Peter, that a similar thing occurred shortly after the Roman period, in the 6th century AD. This information comes from Nigel Pennick's Lost Lands and Sunken Cities (Fortean Times, 1987 (1 Shoebury Road, East Ham, London E6 2AQ)). Nigel is a specialist in folklore and noted as a meticulous researcher. He claims that all around the coasts are the remains of lands ...
374. Ankylosis in the Chronology of Reconstructed History? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Assyrian and Babylonian Chronology" [1 ], I took the opportunity to look at the fact that most of the chronologies around the Mars catastrophes have been linked to the date of 15th. June, -763, the day of a solar eclipse mentioned in the Eponym Lists [2 }) . These again have been linked to Greek and Roman chronology by way of the Ptolemaic Canon of Babylonian kings, "the correctness of which is proved by the lunar eclipses mentioned in the Almagest" [3 ], and through the Babylonian King List A with three rulers being kings of Babylon and Assyria at the same time. Three lunar eclipses are given for the years -721 and -720 ...
375. The Astronomer Royal. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... fell; electrical disturbances of great violence caused much havoc; hurricanes swept the earth; a pall of darkness shrouded it, to be followed by a deluge of fire. This picture of a period of intense turmoil within the period of recorded history is supported by a wealth of quotations from the Old Testament, from the Hindu Vedas, from Roman and Greek mythology, and from the myths, traditions and folklore of many races and peoples. The reader cannot but fail to be impressed by Dr. Velikovsky's extensive knowledge of such lore and by the wealth of references which he gives. Then he told the story of single catastrophes, "awe-inspiring cosmic cataclysms." There occurred collisions ...

... -star) has remained a rather constant feature, in Arabic Suhayl and as-Suha. This is the "birth" of the valid representatives of both the poles, the sons of Mitra and Varuna and also of their successors. To follow up the long and laborious way leading from Rigvedic Mitravaruna (dual) to the latest days of the Roman Empire where we still find a gloss saying "mithra funis, quo navis media vincitur"-"mithra is the rope, by which the middle of the ship is bound," would overstep the frame of this essay by far. Robert Eisler [n4 Weltenmantel und Himmelszelt (1910), pp. 175f.] relying upon ...
377. Sun, Moon, and Sothis: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt by Lynn E. Rose [Journals] [Aeon]
... called the Julian Day Count- a practice still used by astronomers today- and named after his father, Julius Caesar Scaliger, and should not be confused with the Julian reform instituted in the first century bce. Scaliger's day count began as of January 1, 4113 bce, a date that ostensibly would precisely correspond with those of the ancient Roman tax calendar and the lunar calendar. (By his calculation, this event would not occur again until 3868 ad.) However, Rose disputes this dating as it falls far outside what he terms the Velikovsky Divide, that of the eventful year 687 bce, when planetary disturbances rendered all previous calendars obsolete. What a difference a quarter ...
378. The Alphabet and the Saturnian Configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... Contents News Flash The Alphabet and the Saturnian Configuration Tania ta Maria A set of new petroglyphs were discovered in 1954 by John Darnell, an assistant professor at Yale University, in a remote desert area of Egypt. Dated to 1800 B. C., they are thought to be the prototype of the Hebrew, Greek, Cyrillic, and Roman alphabets. P. Kyle McCarter, of the Johns Hopkins University, has stated that these petroglyphs are "as close as we have come to the invention of the alphabet." Alphabetic writing which had been discovered earlier in the Sinai desert had been dated to 1500 B.C . Previously thought to have been the work of Canaanite ...

... the curious flora and fauna of the Canadian High Arctic islands in the Eocene epoch concentrates on the fauna. The conditions required for the survival of the flora in polar latitudes would result in often-freezing winter temperatures and prove lethal to much of the fauna, but especially the reptilians. Ev Cochrane: The Origins of the Latin God Mars 27 The Romans venerated Mars as the god of war. Ev Cochrane's exercise in comparative mythology discovers that Mars is very similar to other gods of war, including Heracles and Nergal, and that their common origin derives from the celestially active planet Mars. Peter van der Veen: The habiru as the ibrim of I Samuel and the implications for the new ...
380. Sun, Moon and Sothis [advert] [Journals] [Aeon]
... Lynn E.Rose FRESH OFF THE PRESS The Osiris Series Sponsored by Cosmos & Chronos Series Editor- Dwardu Cardona Volume II Hard cover: 339 pages Including: Appendices, Bibliography & Index The history of calendars is far from cut-and-dried. Almost every topic that this book addresses has long been the subject of heated controversy. Rose sees Hellenistic and Roman Egypt as of unparalleled importance in the history of calendar development. Even the Julian calendar had its origins in Hellenistic Egypt. Very likely, the Julian calendar itself was Sothic- that is, designed to follow the movements of the star Sothis (Sirius),and not just the annual motion of the Sun. Since the traditional Egyptian ...
