... casts King Iddindagan of Isin . . in the role of her mate Dumuzi.... It refers to the astral character of Inanna: when she, like sun or moon, steps to the sky, ' and it even exhibits very clearly and repeatedly her dual manifestation as the evening star ( 'in the evening she is the strange star, the Venus star . . . ') and as the morning star ( '. . . the strange star, the Venus star, the queen of the morning'). Thus Venus must have been in an orbit between the sun and the earth around -1900." Also, according to Huber, "a routine ...
582. The Great Kingship of the Medes [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... with king Suppiluliumas, so a Hittite king of that name was influential in the time of Ashurnasirpal. (7 ) Ashurnasirpal II, we are told, reigned for twenty-five years as king of Assyria, and took part in military action almost every summer for the first nine years, after which no further expeditions are recorded. This is a strange circumstance to say the least, in view of the relish with which the king described the details of his various exploits in the field. Such being the case, it would appear that he became ill or incapacitated in some way, and for the final sixteen years of his reign entrusted the defence of the kingdom to the crown prince ...
583. "Crowned with Every Rite". Part 2 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... carved alabaster vases such as the world has never seen before. . . . What is the meaning of all this lavish display of skill and beauty? Why was so much wealth poured into the hidden recess of this desolate ravine, and the most exquisite products of the world's achievement in the arts and crafts buried out of sight in this strange necropolis?"2 >From this treasure room a sealed door led Carter and Carnarvon to another room also filled with treasures; a concealed second door opened into the shrine chamber. In it was a shrine 16 feet 6 inches long, 10 feet 9 inches wide, and 9 feet high, which filled the chamber so that there ...
584. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... two miles distant from Uzengili-Nasar. Interestingly, this name in Kurdish means crow can't land'. Whatever the significance, the crow or raven is one of the two birds prominently discussed in the Genesis account of the Flood. These two birds also occur in other Chaldean and Sumerian flood stories. To our American culture a name like this seems strange, but recall our American Indian culture and Medicine Hat', Plenty wood', Little Weasel', 'Crazy Horse' and Red Cloud'; names that do not sound strange at all to an Indian ear. (8 ) ONE IKU. One American acre is 43,560 sq. ft. One English acre is ...
585. Chapter 15 Dark Ages Based on Dark Scholarship [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... ) p. 104 3 ibid., p. 105 4 James et al., op.cit., p. 81 Charles Ginenthal, Pillars of the Past 447 is found. According to Vincent Desborough, ". . . the art of writing is forgotten."5 But after 500 years the Greeks are again writing and strangely maintain a considerable number of elements from the earlier period. We were told that the writing of Linear B "was used not only on clay tablets but also in brief inscriptions on pots." As Velikovsky explained in Ramses II and His Time, page 75, although defenders of the established chronology suggested that "Perishable material (papyrus ...
586. The Evolution of the Cosmogonic Egg [Journals] [Aeon]
... pupil" and the Greek Eros who, "like numerous other figures of the warrior-hero, is depicted as a little man' or mannikin..." (116) The diminutive nature of Eros, in fact, was a popular subject of Greek artisans as indicated by extant reliefs and even coins. (117) Finally, the strange belief that Eros and/or Phanes was bisexual (118) might also account why the "pupil of the Eye" was also thought of as a maiden. (119) The Egg-Born Even so, it must not be understood that the egg-born deity was necessarily Mars, as Talbott seems to imply, (120) since research ...
587. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... body of our father Amram, of whose flesh and blood she is." Aaron did not, however, try to extenuate their sin, saying to Moses: "Have we, Miriam and I, ever done harm to a human being?" Moses: "No." Aaron: "If we have done evil to no strange people, how then canst thou believe that we wished to harm thee? For a moment only did we forget ourselves and acted in an unnatural way toward our brother. Shall we therefore lose our sister? If Miriam's leprosy doth not now vanish, she must pass all her life as a leper, for only a priest who is ...
588. Did the Sumerians and the Akkadians Ever Exist? [Journals] [Aeon]
... sources. The so-called Fourth Dynasty with Nabonassar (ca. 747 to 727 BCE) underwent a revolution which was paralleled by the genesis of the city states in Greece and Rome and by the revolution of Tiglath-Pileser (ca.744 to 727 BCE). This revolution could have caused the beginning of private property, interest, and money. Strangely, however, the famous achievements of Nabonassar and Tiglath-Pileser were supposedly anticipated by some revolutionaries in the third millennium. Especially intriguing is the resemblance between the reformer and forger of a new age, Nabonassar, and the great reformer Urakagina. Though the latter's political change- a "democratic revolution" with an "increase of freemen" supposedly ...
589. The Early Years: Part Two [Journals] [Aeon]
... course of one man's life our whole outlook upon nature has been fundamentally altered. (33) [Paragraphing altered]. Velikovsky's attempt to perform a similar scientific revolution, single-handedly, would be unconsummated and his name defamed. Intriguingly, the Palestinian years are the ones most barren of Velikovsky's own personal manuscripts. In his autobiographical writings he was strangely quiet about those years. It is true that, in 1935, with the encouragment of Ivan Bunin (and using the pen name "Immanuel Ram") he finally had his Thirty Days and Niqhts of Dioqo Pires on the Bridqe of Sant'Anqelo published in Paris, but he had written the first part of the prose poem fifteen years ...
590. Part II: The Comet [Ragnarok] [Books]
... never more, perhaps, to be seen by human eyes. Is it not reasonable to suppose that an event which thus demoralised the comet may have caused it to cast down a considerable part of its material on the face of Jupiter? Eneke's comet revolves around the sun in the short period of twelve hundred and five days, and, strange to say: "The period of its revolution is constantly diminishing; so that, if this progressive diminution always follows the same rate, the time when the comet, continually describing a spiral, will be plunged into the Sun. The comet of 1874, first seen by Coggia, at Alarscilles, and called by his name, ...
