... of numerous examples, likewise presides over the rising and setting of the ancient sun-god. (32) Indeed, it is the very prevalence of this bizarre theme which should alert us to the possibility that the ancients were describing a cosmos radically different from the one known to modern astronomers. The Mountain of Heaven and Earth Another name for the sacred mountain in Sumerian cosmology was hursag, invoked as "the mountain of heaven and earth" in an early hymn (hur-sag-an-ki-bi-da). (33) This phrase has given rise to a lively controversy. Earlier scholars, such as Jeremias and Jensen, were united in the opinion that "the mountain of heaven and earth" had reference ...
302. The Location of Punt/Ophir Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... at about 980/960 B.C ., a difference in time of around 500 years. None of the scholars who tried to solve these problems seems to have looked for corroboration from African sources, yet such evidence is available: the book, Indaba, My Children, by Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa,[1 ] written from age-old sacred oral tradition by an African witch doctor from the Zulu tribe. Mutwa describes- among many other things- the coming of the very first White colonizers ever seen by the Black people at the Zambezi. In the oral tradition these were called the "Ma-Iti," i.e . "the Strange Ones," which Mutwa thinks ...
303. Plato (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... answered the priest, "both for your own sake, and for your city's, but above all for the sake of the goddess, our common mother, who fostered and nurtured both your city and ours. She founded your city a thousand years before ours, when Gaea22 and Hephaestus23 established your race. [23e] According to our sacred records our own city was founded eight thousand years ago. I will now give you only a brief account of . . . the noblest exploits of those predecessors of yours who lived nine thousand years ago. At some later time, and at our leisure, we shall read up the whole matter in detail in our sacred records . ...
304. Velikovsky's Sources Volume One [Books]
... As in the days of Nesubenebded, some two hundred years earlier, the inundation again flooded the temple of Luxor in the third year of Osorkon II, and the water rose to a depth of over two feet on the temple pavement. All the temples of Thebes were like marshes. ' Amun was brought forth from the temple in his sacred barque, and the priests prayed that he might abate the flood." However, on WIC p.2O5, V writes of this flood : " That it was not a seasonal inundation of the Nile is clear from the date. This calendar date for the high level of inundation does not at all correspond to the place of ...

... form, in the Old Testament. "Varro had the diligence to collect thirty thousand names of gods - for the Greeks counted that many. These were related to as many needs of the physical, moral, economic, or civil life of the earliest times." He found 40 Hercules alone. So writes G. Vico. The sacred book of the Mahàbàrata (1 : 39) claims 33,333 Hindu deities, and later sources say that there were a thousand times as many. The Nordic Grimnismal gives over 50 names to Odin. The Babylonian Emunia Elis culminates in a recital of 50 names of Marduk. In the history of symbolism and language, words may ...
306. El-Arish Revisited [Journals] [Kronos]
... have been an artificial construction in the temple compound of Yat-Nebes (" the Place of the Sycamore"). Czerný describes a similar pool found at Hermopolis: "In Hermopolitan theology, Hermopolis itself was the place where the primordial hill first appeared and thus the first step towards the creation of the universe was made. It formed there a sacred district, rectangular and surrounded by a high wall within which was the replica of the scene of creation: a lake called "Lake of the Two Knives" representing Nun, and in it the "Island of Flames" with a hill."(24) What the significance was of the two knives, I do not know ...
307. The Lord Of Light [Journals] [Aeon]
... a vital astral component in its liturgical and iconological makeup while the figure of Jesus, as the focus of Christianity, became "the glorious theological summation of antiquity's celestial gods." (1 ) Yet, while earlier writers (2 ) have dutifully detailed the pagan prototypes of Jesus, they have either neglected to note the cosmic context of sacred Christianity or not fully appreciated the non-solar aspects of Jesus' astral kingship. (3 ) History And Mystery- A Star is Born .. .[ T ]he historian cannot control the details of Jesus' birth and resurrection and thus has no right to pass judgment on their historicity. On the other hand the historian is qualified ...
308. The Personal Tragedy of Albert Einstein [Journals] [Kronos]
... be many who will scoff at the statements in this volume; nevertheless, advertising budgets in the millions of dollars are risked on these principles of mass psychology. The effectiveness of this type of pressure is quickly evidenced by the sales volume of the goods and the services being publicized .( 5 ) In a second volume, Science Is a Sacred Cow, A. Stander gives us a glimpse into the manner by which scientists delude themselves and apply the same subtle suasions to the members of the learned professions as are used by the men who guide modern-day advertising. This book will make many scientists cringe as they see some of their most treasured illusions trampled upon by another well-trained scientist ...

... sky)- became lights (168) which further exemplifies the mythical synonymity of words and light. This is strengthened through a hymn to Agni in which the god is lauded as he "whose radiant splendors flow, like sounds." (169) This ambivalence, in fact, became forged in the very language, both ancient and sacred, in which these doctrines were originally penned. In Sanskrit, the verbs "ghant" and "kumsh" mean "to speak," but also "to shine." (170) So do the verbs "rut," "loch," and "shik." (171) Even "om," that ...
310. The Dragon in Myth and Folklore [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , the cosmic context of which I discuss in part 2 of my "Planets in the Bible" article.(4 ) Finally, it should be pointed out that the serpent that beguiled Adam and Eve was another "nachash", or snake. (5 ) 3. DRAGONS ON THE EARTH If we consider the Fenris-wolf, the sacred cow and jackal deities, even such familiar zodiacal signs as the Fish, the Crab, and the Lion, it is clear that these must be celestial types of earthly creatures. But can we really believe in dragons and full-size serpents stalking the earth and infesting the sea? Enshrined in the form of a ballad, and latterly re-written ...
