... when Saturn is celebrated and the Saturnalia are held, indicates that the length of the year shifted once again after the deluge, perhaps from 260 to 320 days or so. At least one of the Pleiades has since lost much of its brightness, for many peoples, who can today observe only six stars, cite its true number of seven stars. From the very beginnings in Urania, mankind was impressed by the great eye that appeared in the "northern" opening of the sky. In Talbott's drawings (Figure 25) we see it. In the course of the day, the eye is often lidded with the crescent of the Sun's reflection (the inverted sky-boat) ...
612. Sennecherib & Esarhaddo [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... with the accession of Esarhaddon in this same year. Between these sections are data on the kings of Elam (another chronological check). b. The "8 Years" What this "Chronicle" states, is that Mushezib-Marduk, the king of Babylon, was taken prisoner in his 4th regnal-year. After a year-line, it then jumps seven years to another time-period called: ". . .The eighth year of there not being a king in Babylon . . ." Other translations of this line, are: ANET: "For eight years there was no king in Babylon . . ." ;14 and Luckenbill, "Eight years there was no king in Babylon ...
613. Cultural Aspects of the Libyan and Ethiopian Dynasties [Journals] [Kronos]
... Is it not strange that the style and epigraphy of two periods, thought to be separated by such a large span of time, are so similar as to engage two specialists in such a dispute? The Eighteenth Dynasty and the Libyan period in Egypt produced very similar literary works. In no language, ancient or new, would four to seven hundred years have passed without very considerable changes: one need think only of the metamorphosis of English between the time of Geoffrey Chaucer and that of Oscar Wilde. It was no different with the Egyptian language; and most likely, the two epochs under consideration show so little change simply because there was so little time difference. Thus the ...
614. Some Implications of Saunders' Lunar Hypothesis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... accept the orthodox chronology or one of many revisions on offer, Egypt had been a kingdom for more than a millennium by 3,500 BP. Thus, even if we accept the priests' story as true, it could relate to events a thousand years or more before the Exodus. Velikovsky cites the Tractate Sanhedrin of the Talmud: Seven days before the Deluge, the Holy One changed the primeval order and the sun rose in the west and set in the east'. Cardona and I agree that the seven days' are not to be taken literally. He says, and it is my position too: All I will hold on to here is the word " ...
615. The Earth's Physical and Magnetic History [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ago we do not believe that the Earth's core is fluid. The observed surface magnetism and seismic profiles of the Earth's interior are consonant with a solid conductive body containing an excess of free electrons. Given that the Earth's field is weakening, it is logical to believe that rock magnetism is decaying at least as rapidly (see behind, Chapter Seven). Neither would still be present if magnetization had not occurred very recently. The magnetic testimony of the lithosphere is largely fossil, in that the present interior current of the Earth passes its magnetic force into the atmosphere without the capacity for imprinting anything except molten rock. That is, if some rocks carry a complex magnetism, it ...
616. The Age of Purple Darkness [Journals] [Aeon]
... is an aspect of Saturn as Prajāpati is indicated circumstantially by a line in a hymn in the Ātharvaveda: "Thy golden chamber, King Varuna, is built in the waters." [11] Saturn as Khronos (or Chronos) or Time has already been equated with the Vedic god Kāl or Time, who is the driver of seven wheels with immortality as the axle. [12] A hymn in the Ātharvaveda refers to seven nooses belonging to Varuna which lie spread out. [13] The same hymn declares that "King Varuna sees through all that is between heaven and earth, and all that is beyond." [14] Varuna was conceived to have ...
617. The Youthful Planet Venus [Articles]
... Center stated in a highly regarded volume Venus published by the University of Arizona with 69 collaborating scientists: "Let us now consider a survey of Venus concerning the available facts and theories existing in 1961, prior to the first spacecraft launch one year later .. . The prevailing theories led to qualitative descriptions of Venus which may be gathered into seven broad categories: 1. Moist, swampy, teeming with life or, 2. Warm, enveloped by a global carbonic acid ocean, or, 3. Cool, Earth-like, surface water, dense ionosphere, or, 4. Warm, massive precipitating clouds of water droplets, intense lightning, or, 5. Cold, polar ...
618. Velikovsky and his Heroes [Articles]
... maintains, but rather reigns for a further 8-10 years of life, so that King Jehoram of Israel never truly existed, but is a ghost. Velikovsky maintains "This editor of the Book of Kings was helpless in the face of two different versions, and while giving preference to the tradition that Jehoram was king of Israel during the last seven years of Jehoshaphat, he did not suppress the other version. Under the circumstances described, a hypothesis may be formulated and the very existence of Jehoram, king of Israel, may be questioned." To debate the merits of this historical thesis of Velikovsky's is outside the bounds of my talk, and those of you who read past ...
619. The Military Strategy of Sheshonq/Shishak in Palestine [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 16). Then the itinerary turns west to Shunem (no. 15) and Tanaach (no. 14) in the Jezreel Valley. If Hapharaim (no. 18) is to be identified with the border town of Issachar (Joshua 19:19) it seems to be a short distance out of the way at et-Taiyibeh, seven miles northeast of Jezreel, but neither this Egyptian nor the ancient Israelite identification are secure. Continuing to the third line in a boustrophedon order, now reading from right to left, makes the best sense as the first site named in that line is Megiddo (no. 27), just west of Tanaach (no. 14) ...
620. Charting Imaginary Worlds: Pole Shifts, Ice Sheets, and Ancient Sea Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... the earth rather than on its surface." [18] The idea that Antarctica had been sufficiently free of ice for ancient man to map its coasts seemed to fit right into this, and Hapgood enthusiastically applied himself to the analysis of early maps along the same lines as Mallery. The Oronteus Finaeus Map (Detail) For the next seven years, Hapgood and the students in his college geography classes occupied themselves by drawing grids, making trigonometric calculations, taking compasses to globes, and moving transparent overlays around on maps, trying to minimize the positional errors of the features they thought they recognized. The results were published as Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, which has become ...
