... and many other) pieces of evidence hint strongly that the ending of the ice age involved shifts of the Earth's crust or poles as well as changes in its climate. The puzzle of the last ice age is to explain not only its beginning but also its end, and to do this in a way that also makes sense of its strange geography. Alasdair Beal, Chapel Allerton, Leeds Rees and his Sources, I Dear Sir, I object very strongly to Anthony Rees' use of sources in The Israelites and the 18th Dynasty' (Workshop 1988:2 ). Rees writes that The traditions about Malol tell us that 94 years [28] after he (i ...
... Judas upon this occasion. He was of the sect of the Essens, and had never failed or deceived men in his predictions before. Now this man saw Antigonus as he was passing along by the temple, and cried out to his acquaintance, (they were not a few who attended upon him as his scholars,) "O strange!" said he, "it is good for me to die now, since truth is dead before me, and somewhat that I have foretold hath proved false; for this Antigonus is this day alive, who ought to hare died this day; and the place where he ought to be slain, according to that fatal decree ...
293. The Cosmic Mountain [Books]
... immediate experience and yet to compose a grandiose vision sufficiently persuasive to acquire hypnotic power over the ancient world. Of course the mass of available evidence argues against any such inventiveness on the part of early man. Yet these difficulties vanish once we free ourselves from the doctrine of cosmic uniformity and consider whether our primitive observer may have actually witnessed the strange forces which ancient records describe in such detail. The polar mountain is only one ingredient in an integrated cosmology which seems to have prevailed over the entire ancient world. May not the mythical Mount, the central sun, the polar enclosure and crossroads- focusing on the celestial image speak for powers which were "really there"? Notes ...
294. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Eye of Heaven [Books]
... the same river; and PoluPhemos being the lawful cosmic spouse of Galateia must also be given a similar Northern celestial position. In a painting discovered on the Palatine Hill in the house of Livia, Galatea is seen seated on a HippoKampos or scahorse (like Neptune's, with only the two forefeet and a fish's tail). HippoKampos is a strange word, which seems to claim contrast with HippoKentauros. It may mean, as in the case of Kampe above, the Latin campus, the `field, ' the plain of the Universe Ocean. The Northern central position of the Cyclopes is further illustrated from Adam of Bremen's De situ Dania. He says the Northern Giants, who ...
295. Was Hatshepsut the Queen of Sheba? [Articles]
... to whether Velikovsky' s identification would stand up to scrutiny. But by then, we had already agreed what I was going to say, so I was standing there in front of the reliefs being filmed, spouting confidently about Velikovsky's identification, and all the while thinking, I suspect this is a load of nonsense- it was a strange experience. As soon as I got back to England, I began researching in detail all the questions that had arisen while I was in Egypt, and this paper is the fruit of that research. It's going to be published, I hope, if it has the approval of the editors, in the SIS REVIEW in a lot ...
296. The Dating of Hammurabi [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the time of Shalmaneser III. My feeling- probably not rigorously provable- is that the incursion of Mursilis I of Hatti into Babylonia occurred during the declining years of Ashur-Nasir-pal II. The evidence of history is that Ashur-Nasir-pal II was an especially vicious and brutal king who captured his enemies and literally skinned them alive. Consider in this context the strange episode of the understandably reluctant prophet Jonah. Jonah was commissioned to go to Nineveh to cry against it because of its wickedness. He prophesied that Nineveh would be overthrown within forty days of his preaching. The king of Nineveh proclaimed a fast, and the people repented; the threatened overthrow did not materialize. Consider the peculiar situation which ...
297. The Book of Revelation is History [Books]
... of the commentaries agree in all essential points. With the Book of Revelation the theologic-homiletic method does not work. The endeavours of all who have tried that side of approach with the characteristic bulk of the Book of Revelation two-thirds of it have been in vain. The pictures and scenes presented in the Book of Revelation are surprisingly clear-cut, if strange: all that the theological commentators succeeded in doing was to obscure that clearness by casting an emotional veil over it. They made, to use the two words in their inferior meaning, the Apocalypse more apocalyptic still. This is not offered as a criticism, but merely given as a statement of fact. Before we proceed we shall ...
298. El-Amarna Excursuses [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Vol X) Home | Issue Contents El-Amarna Excursuses EXCURSUS A The Language of EA 252 In his article An Archaic Hebrew Proverb in an Amarna Letter from Central Palestine' JNES 89 (1943), pp. 29-32, Albright records the following notes about the language used by Labayu in his earliest letter to Amenhotep III: -line 8: This strange form, which is found several times in the letters, may be the result of confusion between the verb nasaru (in its rare second form nussuru?) and the word which appears in Hebrew as asar, "to check, resist, arrest." ' -lines 8, 10: This meaning of ki is also common in ...
299. Velikovsky: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ... '[ 1 ] Indeed. I believe Velikovsky's entire body of work follows from these three rather modest ideas. Like many people, I discovered Immanuel Velikovsky by colliding with Worlds In Collision. A chance encounter in a library altered forever my view of human history. At first I tried to ignore the several spellbinding- and strangely disturbing- chapters I read in the library. However on my way home I happened to glance up at a church steeple I had been looking at for years. For the first time I noticed that the highest object above the church was not the cross on top of the steeple but the lightning rod on top of the cross. ...
300. A possible connection between the Aztec Sun Stone and western civilisations [Journals] [SIS Review]
... clock. Usually on objects of this kind there is a signature, label, or trademark which identifies the author and/or the country of origin. Something of the sort could be represented in the lower part of the Sun Stone', where a scene is illustrated that is not functional in the mechanism of the clock and looks rather strange (see fig. 2). Fig. 2 The conventional interpretation of this image is that it represents two feathered serpents' swallowing two men. However a number of details in it do not make sense. It appears that the Aztec carver could not understand what was represented in the model that he was copying from, so he ...
