... the Exodus army came upon them, the Midianites had to make apologies for their faith in Egypt. Much later on, the Midianites fell victim to an Israelite attack. One can only wonder, in the end, why Moses has not been considered the offspring of a Hebrew and Egyptian love-affair. Certainly because the word of the Bible is sacred to many people. Also, the legend of a chosen people demands a full-blooded leader for their birth as a nation (despite history's frequent waiving of this rule). Moreover, the Judaic rule that descent as a Jew occurs through the mother, regardless of the father, contributes to ignoring the possibility. Judaic traditionalists are prone to ...
272. From Myth to Physical Model [Articles]
... art, and architecture. Recitation of the story momentarily transported both the storyteller and the listener backwards to the mythical epoch, which was experienced as more compelling, more "true" than the later age. That's why, among all early civilizations, as noted by Mircea Eliade and others, the age of myth provided the models for all sacred activity. 3 Recurring mythical themes are almost certainly prehistoric. The basis of this generalization is a simple provable fact. All fundamental mythical themes will be found in very early historical sources, and the related signs and symbols will be found in prehistoric settings. This rarely acknowledged fact, which could be easily disproved if incorrect, is of ...
273. The Lately Tortured Earth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... his use of the crassitude' of the air particles to raise the calculated velocity [of sound] by more than 10 percent was nothing short of deliberate fraud."[1 ] He then devoted some years to proving Biblical chronology correct, allowing catastrophes to rule the natural history of the universe until the Hebrew genesis put it into a sacred clocklike order. Aside from this, he became abnormally mad. I have tried, on the problems that I set for myself here, not to fudge the facts, to select perforce my materials from the inordinate mass while letting the reader recognize the manipulations necessarily entailing, and to let no fraud enter my meager calculations. I intend ...

275. On Comets and Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... revolutionized our understanding of the status of comets and opened up new and previously unsuspected lines of research relating to cometary cosmogony." (8 ) In light of these recent developments it may be of some interest to review the ancient mythology of the comet. Is it possible, as Velikovsky maintained, that the ancient's may have preserved in their sacred traditions some memory of the catastrophic propensities of comets? The Mythology of the Comet That comets were universally regarded as harbingers of natural disasters of one form or another is well-known. For many ancient skywatchers the appearance of a comet portended the end of an age or dynasty. The ancient Chinese, for example, held that "comets eliminate ...
... Thebes School THE next question which arises now that we have considered the facts relating to the astronomy of Northern Egypt is one connected with the cults which we have proved to come down the Nile. Were they indigenous or imported? Although I have put it forward with all reserve, there is evidence which suggests that the temples so far traced sacred to the southern cult are of earlier foundation than those to the north, and they are associated with Edfû and Philae, which are known to be of high antiquity. This is one point of difference. Another is that the almost entire absence of Set temples and east and west pyramids up the river indicates that, so far as ...
277. The Sunken Kingdom: The Atlantis Mystery Solved by Peter J. James [Journals] [Aeon]
... the lost city can be found throughout the world. Indeed, it is my opinion that comparative mythology, rather than archaeology, holds the key to deciphering the myth of Atlantis. Upon analysis, it can be shown that these myths typically refer to the earliest of remembered times, to the period marked by Creation, when a brilliant island sacred to Venus congealed in the fiery waters overhead, only to disappear amidst a spectacular cataclysm. [14] With the passage of time and the dimming of memories, sacred traditions telling of the fabulous island-kingdom in the sky became localized here on earth. Thus it is that the Pillars of Heracles, which originally upheld the heavenly kingdom, ...
