282. The Secret Of Baalbek [Journals] [Kronos]
... : it means "Dan of answer", or "of oracle". Dan became the site of the temple built by Jeroboam. It was a holy place long before he built his temple there, since the story of the oracle of Micah is conspicuously narrated in the Book of Judges; it is rather probable that Rehob was a sacred place even before the Danites built their city on the ruins of Laish close by. It cannot be said of the present village of el-Kadi that it lies on the road "as men come to Hamath"; to satisfy this description, Rehob must be looked for farther to the north. __ __ __ __ ...
283. A Glance at Compartive Mythology by Isaac Vail [Books]
... . Here also may be seen as a prominent figure in the Aztec inscriptions a small Greek cross enclosed in a circle. This, antiquaries tell us, was there worshipped as an idol. How, we might ask, did the ancient Mexicans come to worship this Christian symbol? Ah, we forget that the cross was used as a sacred symbol fifteen centuries before the birth of Christ. In the form of the letter X and the short armed Greek cross we have respectively the Alpha and Tau of the radical alphabet of ancient Egypt. We have also the Grecian story of the sun-king laion who was bound to a four-spoked wheel that whirled everlastingly in the sky, from which ...
284. The World-Wide Losses Of Land (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... present small, waterless, grass-covered, barren island could never have supported the great population which we are forced to conclude was necessary for the creation of these specialized cultural remains. The Easter Island of our days, with its forty-five square miles, evidently represents only the remnant of a vastly greater area; we have here the highest, `sacred' uplands of that ` Rapa-Nui' of which the myths tell, whose food-producing and population-housing lower foothills and coastal plains were lost in the capture flood, or by a later subsidence of the terrestrial surface upon which Easter Island is situated. Similar `sacred' cultural relics which are quite out of `proportion' are found on other ...
285. Kronos, Minos, and the Celestial Labyrinth [Journals] [Kronos]
... of Theseus' combat with the Minotaur is one of the most famous of the Greek myths. Exactly what lies behind this myth has been an unsolved mystery for over two thousand years. The consensus of modern scholarship seems to hold that the Minotaur was a symbolic representation of the Sun. Several scholars have concluded that the myth grew out of sacred mimetic dances which once took place upon labyrinthine floors by celebrants in bestial outfits. A. B. Cook gave his conclusion on this as follows: "Our enquiries into Cretan religion have hitherto led us towards two conclusions. On the one hand, in Cretan myth the sun was conceived as a bull. On the other hand, ...
... the happy employment on this account upon another. But I am above such base practices: nor would God have overlooked this matter, and seen himself thus despised; nor would he have suffered you to be ignorant of what you were to do, in order to please him; but he hath himself chosen one that is to perform that sacred office to him, and thereby freed us from that care. So that it was not a thing that I pretend to give, but only according to the determination of God; I therefore propose it still to be contended for by such as please to put in for it, only desiring that he who has been already preferred, ...
287. The Kaaba [Journals] [Kronos]
... but completely encased within the kiswah, a tightly encircling curtain of black cloth embroidered with Koranic verses which is renewed each year. The kiswah is slightly drawn up at the bottom to reveal the base of the Kaaba, the door, and the two holy stones. Today, the small building rests within the vast courtyard of the Great or Sacred Mosque, properly called al-Masjid al Haram, an imposing edifice boasting seven minarets. Concerning this humble shrine, Mohammed himself dictated: ". . . turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship, the Kaaba, and ye (O Moslems), wherever ye may be, turn your faces (when ye pray) toward it ...
288. Commemoration Of The 2300bc Event [Journals] [SIS Review]
... A fire was lit on each roof at dawn and farewells were given to the Fravashis as they departed. The pre-dawn activity of the Fravashis reflects the fact that meteor activity is most intense between midnight and dawn [92] (Fig. 1). The month of Athriyadiya ( 'worship of fire'), around November, was sacred to the Fravashis and the ceremony originally occurred then, when the families also honoured their dead. The festival was later transferred to the month of Fravardin, at the vernal equinox, also sacred to the Fravashis [93]. Olcutt states that the Persians called November Mordad, angel of death' and that it marked the date of ...
289. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... distinct and as influential. Tiahuanaco began around 200BC as a farming village but by 700AD it was an imperial capital, the architecture of which is one of the wonders of the world. It became a prime pilgrimage centre due to its proximity to Lake Titicaca, where the creation was thought to have taken place, and the towering peak of sacred Mount Illimani. The Huari practised complex ritual and animal and human sacrifice and coated their buildings in gleaming white plaster. They were an aggressive people who may have sacrificed those captured in battle, much as the Maya, the Aztec and their neighbours did, although there is no evidence that the two cultures clashed militarily. They did not ...
... fact which need occasion little surprise. More than one geological age has followed another, but for my purpose I am concerned with the last major disturbance, which left many surprising results in its train, and here I draw passing attention to the, verse from the Scandinavian Voluspa forming the heading to this chapter. This occult verse, a sacred saga of the skalds, affects to describe how, related to Surtur, an obscure term alluded to elsewhere as "the Mighty One"2-there flashed a flame with the power of sunlight and the grim results. It purports to describe a catastrophe when mountains collided, heaven itself was rent in twain, and how the race of giants ...
