... the north" may be very appropriately rendered "thighs of Tsaphon", which I submit as the "thighs of Typhon", the very expression we find in Egyptian Book of the Dead. The revised version has it "the Mount of Congregation in the uttermost parts of the north". I cannot for a moment believe that the sacred penman would have used such an expression if it had not come down to him as a fossil memorial of a cosmic congregation in the polar heavens. Either this or the sacred penman actually saw that grand polar panorama, and applied it as he did to the kings of Tyre and Babylon. The Hebrew yarkah means a "thigh" ...
... death very willingly, rather than the wisdom of their laws should be transgressed; upon which Pilate was deeply affected with their firm resolution to keep their laws inviolable, and presently commanded the images to be carried back from Jerusalem to Cesarea. 2. But Pilate undertook to bring a current of water to Jerusalem, and did it with the sacred money, and derived the origin of the stream from the distance of two hundred furlongs. However, the Jews (8 ) were not pleased with what had been done about this water; and many ten thousands of the people got together, and made a clamor against him, and insisted that he should leave off that design. ...
313. The Uranians [Books] [de Grazia books]
... through the Boreal Opening revealed, in the north, the bodies of the Super-Uranian complex. At first Super-Uranus appeared casting his cloak of heaven partly aside to reveal himself. And around him were the satellites and stars. His throne was the aura of northern lights and was imitated by earthlings down to the present day; it was also the sacred altar upon which sacrifices were forever to be offered. The altar stood also for the arch, for a four-columned portico holding up the heaven, and for a number of other ideas. The heavenly host of the Boreal Hole gave humans their holy city, Jerusalem, and started utopian planning on earth. Visibility was sufficiently good in the ...
314. Cosmic Heretics [Journals] [Aeon]
... or autographed copies, and in those days had to be reminded by his publishers that a page was reserved for a dedication if he wished to use it. The journalistic papers he hurried through and put aside. They would give an example here and another there. Some readers, no doubt, would be astonished at the behavior of their sacred scientists, but the case was mere basic social psychology. The scientists and their coterie of publicists were behaving very much as might be expected in the face of disturbing theories, like politicians, like administrators, bishops, and all other elites of organized networks. He decided to take upon himself the most difficult task, the theoretical analysis ...
315. Saturn's Children [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , chanted by fauns and augurs The jagged flint sickle with which Saturn was said to have castrated his father became the inspiration and symbol of the useful tools of a golden age of agriculture. It also became the harp or lyre of music, when strung. Women and men, indeed all people, worked in general equality. Rulers merged sacred and sacred ideas. They were something like totem animals, not all-powerful, not gods, but steeped in the divine and used as scapegoats and advocates before the gods. Government by God-kings of the Egyptian, Babylonian, and Chinese type evolved later. First a kind of sacred republican rule prevailed. Then the sacred ruler became the God-King ...
316. The Cosmic String of Pearls [Journals] [Aeon]
... on which the souls of the dead leave this world, must have been positioned vertically, as movement on it is described in terms of ascent and descent. Its upper end was at the north pole of the sky, in the heaven of Ahura Mazda, and the earthward end rested upon the Daitīk Peak, which is part of the sacred Harā-berezaiti mountain, around which the heavenly bodies revolve. "That bridge is like a beam, of many sides, of whose edges there are some which are broad, and there are some which are thin and sharp; its broad sides are so large that its width is twenty-seven reeds, and its sharp sides are so contracted that ...
317. Sagan's Folly Part 1 [Journals] [Kronos]
... , would have been obliterated. 3) As it happens, we do have a wealth of "graphic recordings" (e .g . the dragon and serpent motifs, symbols on Shang bronzes, scenes of theomachy, ubiquitous universal symbols of a cosmic nature that are not explicable or properly understood by uniformitarian analysis, papyri and other cultural sacred writings, and last but not least- the Bible (5 ) ). 4) The depiction of a terrifying experience may be transmuted and not obviously recognizable for what it is. A case in point is the Japanese reaction to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; the survivors produced no "graphic recordings" for an event easier ...
318. Aeon Volume VI, Number 4: Contents [Journals] [Aeon]
... : The Opening of the Mouth Ritual- Part I Ken Moss The first part of a detailed evaluation of the Egyptian rite in question, which, in varying form, was also conducted by the Mesopotamians and other peoples, and how this might be directly related to events dictated by the Saturn thesis. Page 93: Mount Horeb and Judah's Sacred Treasures Flavio Barbiero In which the author attempts to trace the eventual hiding place of the treasures once contained in the Jerusalem temple. Page 104: The Calendar Eric Aitchison An in-depth evaluation of ancient calendars which takes into consideration Velikovsky's original work on the subject, the Biblical evidence, ancient mathematics, the Sothic period, ancient eclipse forecasting and ...
319. Much Ado about Tippe Top (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... some archaeologists of the younger generation, lecturers at the same university.(13) There can be no doubt that the latest archaeological digs and discoveries were discussed, and their impact on our knowledge and interpretation of Biblical history. One of the greater excavations going on at the time was that at Dan (Tell el Qadi) and its sacred area where a so-called horned altar - which could safely be dated to the 9th century B.C .E . or earlier, i.e . the time of Jeroboam (end of the 10th century B.C .E .) and the Northern Monarchy - had just been found. There was felt no need to look ...

... of his satrap. (33) Similarly, Sennacherib's destruction of Babylon after the second insurrection was largely in vengeance for the Babylonians' kidnap and murder of his brother Assur-nadin-shum, whom he had made viceroy of the city. (34) Xerxes tore down the walls of Babylon, massacred its citizens, destroyed its temples, and seized the sacred golden statue of Bel. (35) In the same way, Sennacherib razed the city walls and temples, massacred the people, and carried off the sacred statue of Marduk. (36) Bel and Marduk, we should note, were one and the same; and the name was usually written Bel-Marduk. In memory of the ...
