When the skies finally cleared and the celestial images were gone, survivors who ...

243. The Celestial Tower [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... waves. The British writer Nennius describes the tower as a pillar of crystal, an object encountered by the Gaels as they crossed the sea to Erin. It is evident that the phallus cult of Hermes is derived in some way from this celestial tower or pillar. It must also be related one way or another to the concept of the Sacred Mountain, and thus to pyramid building. Certainly phallus-worship, and along with it dragon-worship, appears in the near-east right at the first phase of literate civilisation, a period that saw the erection of the pyramids. But what then did the tower/phallus consist of? Clearly it was not a human construction, and over the last ...
244. Legends and Miracles [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . (See Figure 15.) We may go farther into the mysteries of Moses' halo, Hugo Gressmann [11], one of the greatest of Old Testament authorities, asserts that Moses always wore a mask, that Moses wanted to play god and, after he had come down radiant from the Holy Mountain, he assumed a sacred mask. Gressmann had no idea of the atmospheric turbulence nor of its affecting Moses' skin; he claimed that priestly masks were to be found elsewhere, whether among the Egyptians or Semitic tribes. By intensive linguistic analysis, Gressmann demonstrates elisions in the Bible where the word "mask" would occur, and says that the word " ...

... - VELIKOVSKY'S COMET VENUS (9 ) By David Talbott (dtalbott@teleport.com) [EDITOR'S NOTE: This continues Talbott's series of articles on the myth of the comet Venus.] 52-YEAR CALENDAR ROUND Across Mesoamerica, the combination of two calendars, the solar or seasonal calendar and the 260-day ritual calendar, produced an extended sequence of sacred time, in which the two calendars concluded on the same day only once every 52 solar years- a cosmic cycle of extreme import. This 52-year cycle the Maya called the Calendar Round and the Aztecs a "bundle of years" or "Perfect Circle" of years. Interestingly, to Sylvanus Morley observes that the Maya "never indicated ...
246. The Sun Ages, Prologue Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the same belief that Gómara found in the New World. The Mexican Annals of Cuauhtitlan, written in Nahua-Indian (circa 1570) and based on ancient sources, contains the tradition of seven sun epochs. Chicon-Tonatiuh or "the Seven Suns" is the designation for the world cycles or acts in the cosmic drama.(8 ) The Buddhist sacred book of Visuddhi-Magga contains a chapter on "World Cycles."(9 ) "There are three destructions: the destruction by water, the destruction by fire, the destruction by wind." After the catastrophe of the deluge, "when now a long period has elapsed from the cessation of the rains, a second sun appeared ...

... of Yucatan") written about 1566. It is the best description of post-Classic religion in Yucatan and other details of late Maya history and life. Other sources. To these sources may be added the observations recorded by modern anthropologists and ethnologists about present-day Maya, such as the Lacandones. In the Guatemalan highlands, ceremonies connected to the 260-day sacred calendar of the Maya survive, as do ancient prayers and information about Maya gods and goddesses in Yucatan and other areas. Now let us turn to the involvement of Charles Etienne Brasseur with Diego de Landa's alphabet and the Troano Codex: When he discovered Bishop Landa's book, with its explanation of Maya hieroglyphs, he was confident that he ...
248. Canopy Skies of Ancient Man by Isaac Vail [Books]
... "the first ship" that visited Aegean. At another time under similar conditions it was the Argo and carried 50 gods on the same route. The primitive office of the root Ark and Arg to "fit" or "join" IS thus easily explained. The more undeveloped form of the "word" was likely AR and the sacred "arcana" runs back to the same celestial beginning. Now as Lynceus, who escaped the dagger and was saved by his bride Clytemnestra, because a power in the north and was the one fated to slay his uncle Danaus, we ought to find in this name also a significance eminently linked to canopy evolution. Let it be ...
249. Preface to the Antiquities of the Jews [Books]
... generosity of our high priest, and to suppose there might even now be many lovers of learning like the king; for he did not obtain all our writings at that time; but those who were sent to Alexandria as interpreters, gave him only the books of the law, while there were a vast number of other matters in our sacred books. They, indeed, contain in them the history of five thousand years; in which time happened many strange accidents, many chances of war, and great actions of the commanders, and mutations of the form of our government. Upon the whole, a man that will peruse this history, may principally learn from it, ...
... for "this 169 body of legend, folklore to us but credible history to the people of the archipelago, is tangled in the roots of everything Japanese." The quotation is from Post Wheeler, who prepared the latest edition of the Japanese mythical corpus. To quote him further: "In no other land do we find a people's sacred legend so interknit with the individual's daily thoughts and life. Its episodes peer at us from every nook and byway. The primeval myth of the slaughter of the Eight-Forked-Serpent by the deity Brave-Swift-Impetuous-Male, brother of Bright-Shiner the Sun-Goddess, is pictured on Japan's paper currency. I have seen it produced au grand serieux at Tokyo's Imperial Theatre, in ...
