... on earth like the Egyptian djedsymbol. The setting up of the backbone of Osiris was one of the most important functions at the restoration of his body after its dismemberment. This was annually celebrated at Busiris on the 30th of Khoiak, at the end of that part of the Egyptian year devoted to the Osirian festivals, and was kept with strange rites; e.g ., the priests of the different sanctuaries fought together with fists and cudgels.32 The amulet not only gave steadfastness (backbone) to the mummy. Your user section may be symbols of the cardinal points and the seasons regulated by the four gods of the four quarters. The "gilded djed" brought ...

... were connected with the sky and especially with the sun in Syria and Palestine. When Jacob fled from his father-in-law his wives carried away certain gods which were so small that Rachel "put them in the camel's furniture and sat upon them "so that Laban "found them not "16 But later the wives "gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and their ear-rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.17 Solar symbols and ear plugs were worn by pre-Columbian Americans and their gods, by Melanesians and Polynesians in Oceania and by various peoples in Asia and Africa. Ear-boring and ear distension was ...
... word". The "ear" (helix) of Chaos heard the "word" and received the breath the "word" and "breath " being one. That was evidently why the ancient Egyptians believed that the "air of life" enters the right ear and "the air of death" the left ear; but that strange concept could not have possibly emerged until after "right" and "left" had assumed a definite significance in connexion with the cardinal points. Thus, as is found, the symbolism of the whorled murmuring shell-the first natural spiral which attracted early man's attention became exceedingly complex and profound in the course of time, and even before Democritus ...

... of his numbers during the progress of his hypothesis but baulk at the physical strains inherent in bringing the synodic of Venus from 936 to 584 and the sidereal from 260 to 224 615 etc. There does not appear to be a 10% factor in either of these reductions. However I applaud Bob for at least attempting a hypothesis for this strange numbered calendar. He might now be tempted to have a go at the 819-day calendar of the Maya. Eric Aitchison, North Lambton, Australia Merino Sheep I have been re-reading Ebla by Chaim Bermont and Michael Weitzman (Book Club edition, Weidenfeld & Nicolson). In it they say that Sumerian has apparently no connection with the Indo-European ...

996. Velikovsky and the El-Amarna period [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ' [75]. Furthermore [76], Spiegelberg concluded that, because of this similarity in the art of writing in these two periods, separated by half a millennium and more, Erman's argument was unfounded and the stele must have been carved in the days of the pharaoh whose name it bears, Thutmose IV. 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' War at Thebes In his 4th year Tutankhamun moved his residence from El-Amarna to Thebes [77]. After Tutankhamun Ay reigned only 3 or 4 years [ ...

... elaborated on the subject in his article "The Correct Placement of Haremhab in Egyptian History".(5 ) Since he wrote, in this more detailed article, that it was "not because of any unusual importance of his [Haremhab's] historical role" but because of its implications for the reconstruction after the 18th Dynasty, it is strange that Gammon - though admitting, and himself claiming, that the correct placement of Haremhab is "crucial" for Velikovsky's reconstruction - does not consider, nor even mention the alternative solution that Haremhab ruled in Esarhaddon's time.(6 ) If Gammon had considered such an alternative solution, he would have found that his "key question" ...
998. Forum: Did Jews Fabricate Their History Between 500 and 1099AD? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... neither side claims that anything Jewish in Palestine/Israel is supported by the Fostat Geniza. From 634 to 750, for which Gil cannot show a single shred of written material referring to Palestinian Jews, the men of the spade have their own type of hard evidence - Judaism in stone' [8 ] in the form of synagogues. Strangely, none of the synagogues closed or destroyed by crusaders since 1099 has been found, though no other territory in the world was - and is - better excavated than Palestine or the Land of Israel. Still, archae-ologists have excavated a brilliant synagogue culture (altogether over 200 buildings) that blossoms for a last time between 634 and c ...
999. Celestial Records of the Orient by Isaac Vail [Books]
... of medieval times in which the human hand figures as a relic of a forgotten practice and which can now be easily understood as memorials of the scenes that once marshalled in the polar heavens. Wood-Martin's Stone Monuments of Ireland relates that as late as 1781 Irish lovers plighted their troth by joining hands through a hole in a stone pillar. The strangeness of the act is sufficient to make its testimony of great value, but the ceremonys name makes it decidedly more so. It was called the "Handfasting"; and was looked upon as a solemn promise to Odin. As Odin is now known as a vapor heaven, who vent to the polar "fount of knowledge" to ...
1000. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... transported to the Hittite court of Suppiluliumas - but what evidence is there of plague in Egypt at the same time? Of course, it is likely that Akhenaten was deposed because of setbacks of some kind and a plague is one possible reason. However, a military setback may also have been seen as a disaster whilst a climatic glitch, strange activity in the sky, crop failures and famine were seen as evidence of an angry god, Amun who had been sidelined by Akhenaten. What evidence is there for any of this? It is not a theme historians generally dwell on. Did Velikovsky exercise his imagination at this point, or did he have sound information? In contemporary ...
