... electronics of the planet Jupiter. Mountains are leveled or melted, sky monsters felled, citadels destroyed, the Earth scorched, and armies sent fleeing; all the work of the king of gods. Every lightning stroke to Earth becomes a theophany, as in lightning-obsessed Etruria, which gave the name Jupiter (Jove-pater) to the Romans. The sacred manifestations consecrate the cosmic bolts that were memorialized and discussed for thousands of years. The planets, following the interruption of the magnetic tube, were freed. Instead of wheeling with Jupiter, now the binary component, they orbited the Sun independently, their motion close to the plane of the old binary - now the plane of the reconstituted ...
252. Mountain Myths (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... life-preserving. The Jews were a pastoral, a primitive agricultural people, and as such they had to keep to the plains and the valleys; the drowsy shepherd and the husbandman stand in awe of the mountains. Nevertheless the ancestors oftheJews had descended to the plains from the high hills. We find a very great number of quotations in their sacred writings which reveal a deep and affectionate admiration for the mountain-tops. On them was to be found safety and peace, there dwelt their god Their love for their mythical peak and their awe of hills in general was finally transferred to the insignificant but much more convenient Mount Zion. But behind it still looms large the Hill of Refuge. ...
253. Kadath - Chronicles of Lost Civilizations (Advert) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... total independence of mind as well towards a certain conservative reductionism emanating from the Establishment, as best selling archaeomania. Since its creation, KADATH has approached most of the true mysteries of our past, and this often in an original manner e.g .: Atlantis, Easter Island, Precolumbian America, Egypt, Ancient Europe, Asia, sacred texts, traditions, mythology, scientific knowledge in Antiquity, megalithism in the Old and the New World, archaeoastronomy, leys, sacred geometry, maps of ancient Sea Kings, transoceanic contacts, unexpected inscriptions and lost writings, mysterious ruins, strange artifacts and constructions, catastrophism, the Flood, etc. Regularly a special issue is devoted ...
254. Philologos | The Legends of the Jews: Volume IV [Books]
... of the law, because it contained the clause against their entering into the "assembly of the Lord even to the tenth generation." (50) To disgrace the faith of Israel, they plucked the Cherubim from the Holy of Holies and dragged them through the streets of Jerusalem, crying aloud at the same time: "Behold these sacred things that belong to the Israelites, who say ever they have no idols." The Edomites were still more hostile (51) in the hour of Israel's need. They went to Jerusalem with Nebuchadnezzar, but they kept themselves at a distance from the city, there to await the outcome of the battle between the Jews and the ...
255. From Fadus the Procurator to Florus [Books]
... Idumea and the Arabians. And indeed, from that time, Judea was cleared of robberies by the care and providence of Fadus. He also at this time sent for the high priests and the principal citizens of Jerusalem, and this at the command of the emperor, and admonished them that they should lay up the long garment and the sacred vestment, which it is customary for nobody but the high priest to wear, in the tower of Antonia, that it might be under the power of the Romans, as it had been formerly. Now the Jews durst not contradict what he had said, but desired Fadus, however, and Longinus, (which last was come ...
256. Chapter XVIII: the Star-temples At Karnak [Books]
... and we will extend it. We can now build walls in continuation of the old walls, and we can build still another pylon, because Seti's temple is no longer being used, the worship having been transferred to the temple of Rameses III. (Khons). By building the northern wall we prevent the use of temple M, sacred to our enemy Sutech." I should add that the opening in the wall, in prolongation of the axis of temple M, is not directly opposite the temple M, but a little to the east; it was probably made later, possibly by the twenty-second dynasty, who were Set worshippers. Again, coming to the time ...
257. Old Testament Tales – Part IV & V, Moses as Magus 'A' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... had walls of boards, 15 feet high, tightly jointed together and roofed by 11 goat-hair curtains; no-one could see into it from the court. On its inner walls hung blue, purple and scarlet curtains, embroidered with cherubim. In the larger part, the Holy Place, stood an Altar of Burnt Offering; a table carrying golden sacred vessels, a gold 7-branched candlestick and shewbread'; and a brass laver for priestly ablutions. In the smaller Holy of Holies, behind a vail, or veil, stood the sacred Ark of the Covenant (or Testimony) and probably also the Altar of Incense. The attention of the few who entered the Holy Place would be ...
258. The Rise of a New Culture (Built Before the Flood) [Books]
... Asylum. This area was probably the mythical land of Ttahua-ntin Suyu', the Common Gathering Place of All Nations',1 of which local Indian tradition is still faintly reminiscent. (Cf. Diagram 3) So safe did the rulers of that realm feel, that they embarked upon grandiose, ambitious, long term building schemes for a Sacred Capital, and began to erect extensive, well-orientated edifices. And far from being afraid of the waters, they even made them their servant by building harbours and docks, and their defender by digging a long, canal-like moat (or moat-like canal). The new arrivals probably selected the area of the settlement of the Old Temple' ...
259. Megalithic Circles and Star Charts [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ]. Medicine wheels consist in general of a central circle or rock pile, from which lines of rocks radiate like spokes. The circles may be as large as a hundred metres diameter. Medicine wheels are somewhat of a mystery in that most of them are old enough so that their original function has been forgotten. They are often considered sacred. Dating is difficult since the structures are most often found on hilltops and mountaintops where the soil is thin and stratigraphy is difficult [19]. One of the wheels has been dated and fits in well with the general dating pattern. The most extensively excavated medicine-wheel cairn at Majorville in Alberta, Canada gives evidence of approximate continuous use ...
260. "King Living in Truth". Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... and return Thebes to what it had been before the New Kingdom and the rise of Amon as the chief god. The stifling atmosphere of a predominantly hieratic city, with eight great temples of Amon closed, its clergy debased, the nobles of the former reign removed from their positions, made the days in Thebes cheerless. There was nothing sacred for Akhnaton in Thebes: the most sacred thing for an Egyptian king, a memorial tablet of his father, he brutally effaced. This was equal to murder, because in the opinion of the Egyptians the human soul might live after death but not necessarily, and not in all circumstances was it an immortal life. After a man ...
