... it was assumed that the Deluge and the Flood were one and the same event. However, when the available evidence is taken into account, it can be seen that they were several thousand years apart and geological erosion cycles indicate the interval as being about 3,500 years.

262. Matters Arising [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... tell of the role of mice in the destruction of the army of Sennacherib, an event described in the Bible as being due to a "ruach", or heavenly blast. Dr Velikovsky identified Mars as being the agent of destruction in the time of Sennacherib and Hezekiah. He also noted that cities in Egypt with the cult of the sacred mouse were sacred cities of thunderbolts and meteorites and that one of these was Leto olis.(11) B. Newgrosh has written in to indicate that Apollo was equated with the Phoenician god Resheph, a god of lightning and war,(12) but who was not equivalent to either the Syrian Hadad/Adad or the Hittite ...
263. The Domestication of the Human Species [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... in which the people could decipher their relationship to society and the Universe, and in striving towards its permanence and perfection as the perpetuator of power, the arts and technology evolved. There are some ideas regarding mythological symbolism, which are greatly at odds with views often expressed within these pages, but which are interesting none the less. The sacred enclosure is seen as that area enclosing the family dwellings and cultivations with the fire god at the centre. This develops into the ideal of the walled city. It is also pointed out that gardening preceded agriculture and could explain the prevalence of myths such as that of the garden of Eden. Wilson considers that architecture influenced the structure of ...
264. Preface to the War of the Jews [Books]
... the city, and of their measures; of the strength of the city, and the structure of the temple and holy house; and besides, the measures of those edifices, and of the altar, and all accurately determined. A description also of certain of their festivals, and seven purifications of purity, (5 ) and the sacred ministrations of the priests, with the garments of the priests, and of the high priests; and of the nature of the most holy place of the temple; without concealing any thing, or adding any thing to the known truth of things. 11. After this, I shall relate the barbarity of the tyrants towards the people ...
... We meet the `Red Dragon' which descended upon the earth in quite a number of reports. Babylonian mythology calls this cosmic monster, muyhrushii tamtim,45 the `red-gleaming [or: angry-red] serpent', and says that it had two notable `horns'. In the Bundahish (= `Primeval Creation'), the Sacred Book of the Parsees, we are told: `He (the Evil One] stood upon one-third of the inside of the sky, and sprang like a serpent out of the sky down to the earth. ' For the `dwellers in heaven' the happy end has come about with the vanquishing of the cosmic dragon, or ...
266. Sandal-straps and Semiology [Books] [de Grazia books]
... is not Greek or Roman by origin, but Christian. The Greeks and Romans were fully and explicitly phallic [3 ]. The Christian heart, it need no retailing to modern folk, is and has been for long a motif to be found in a great many paintings and is referred to in many prayers. The cult of the Sacred Heart of Jesus originated in the Seventeenth Century with the counter-reformation texts of the ecstatic nun, Marguerite-Marie Alocoque. In searching for the origins of this shape, the heart, one is led ultimately to a most common symbol of prehistoric man, the female vulva. The sign is often an inverted triangle. As such, it abounds in ...
267. O.K. Origins [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the langue d'oil of the North of France, which prevailed (oil becoming oui). Returning to the Irish drink, uech, one is led to another of Cohane's basic words, haue, who he believes to have been a divinity preceding oc, and is found in Yahweh and Jove (properly pronounced in Latin). The most sacred parish in Ireland is called Aughaval, which disassembles into og/ava/ala. Now H.L . Mencken comments about O.K . that "its long disputed etymology has been practically settled by Allen Walker Read." Not so, although Read wrote three articles, and Mencken one, on the subject between 1941 and ...
... , says Wheeler in his Bible Studies), and sometimes the god was represented in monuments as a man enclosed within a meteor shaped like a winged globe, in the centre of which the god emerged holding his bow and arrow. Ashteroth herself was represented as a meteor which had fallen to earth and became the volcano. The asherah, sacred to the great goddess of earth and the underworld, were upright pillars, or pillar stones, or large, upright and rounded phalli, in appearance not unlike a big explosive shell. Such an asherah was doubtless the Obelisk at Avebury, but all these giant monoliths in the Druid centre were, I suggest, in accordance with phallic ...
... these raised beaches, and they are situated just south of a region which at some date must have experienced a most devastating meteor impact, probably not unrelated to the mysterious island of Staffa and the Giant's Causeway to its south-west. It is interesting in this connection to recall that lona, for long ages before Christianity was adopted, was a sacred place, perhaps the most sacred site of the pagan Caledonian or Caldee Church, and, like the Memphis of Egypt, was the great burial city to which the bodies of the great were taken for interment. The track still called "The Street of the Dead," testifies to the memory of this melancholy distinction, and there ...
... at Karnak; the visitor passes it before the great temple of Amen-Ra is reached. M. Bouriant was able to prove,, while we were together at Karnak, that the temple of Seti II., nearly parallel to it, was also dedicated to Khons; but the temple B of Lepsius, nearly parallel to both, is sacred to Amen. It is seen at once that the main cult is the same, although the amount of detail shown in the reference is different- we have the generic name of the triad in one case, the specific name of the member of the triad in the other. As this is the first time a setting star has ...
