... 10 Inside the Square in its south is observed the sign of Aries, the Ram, sacred to Hermes, represented here thrice repeated. Its position of concealment indicates that Aries has not yet risen above the equinoctial horizon, but is destined shortly to emerge. It is the Sign yet to be.11 2. Cetus . - This strange amphibious beast, with a single long horn, a big eye, a duck's beak, flappers in place of legs, and a tail, represents the sign Cetus, sometimes described as tile Leviathan, or Whale. Although Cetus is not included as one of the twelve zodiacal signs, not lying in the path of the Ecliptic, ...
602. The Mosaic Calendar [Journals] [Aeon]
... Murphie, from New South Wales, Australia, adds: In terms of catastrophism, the Mosaic calendar, as pointed out in Eric Aitchison's article, is a unique document. Strictly solar, this intricate and comprehensive model speaks to us from a distant period. No similar calendar existed in any other nation of the past. It is a strange paradox that, over the past two centuries, scant attention has been given to the subject. Meanwhile, astronomers, bonded to uniformitarianism, superimpose the Solar System as we know it today on ancient skies. For them, it was exactly then as it is today, the year having always been 365.24219879 days, or a ...
... of the island sank in the sea, while in 1792 a ruinous earthquake cracked roads which in places fell by 50 ft.5Melcombe Regis, new Weymouth, is also incredibly ancient. It stands also on a peninsula surrounded by water on all sides except the north, where it is entered by a narrow isthmus. Portland, among its strange possessions, produces fossilized trees, sure sign of a tremendous visitation, and ancient underground chambers, found in 1880, of the beehive type. Early fibulae, pottery, and stone sarcophagi have been found, and not of least interest is that the Portland families, natives of the Rock, have always called themselves "Kimberlins", ...
604. On Comets, Comet-Like Luminous Apparitions and Meteors (Concluded) [Journals] [Kronos]
... very well have been "decorated with a beard" in every month of the year during which it appeared, as long as its orbital path - like those of many later comets - ran parallel to the Earth. Perhaps a peculiar designation for Inanna [Venus] who, in a Sumerian hymn, is twice referred to as "the strange star" can be explained in this connection.(60) Once again, the thought comes to mind that either a similar appearance was concealed in this paraphrase, or that the star - whose embodiment was viewed as the goddess - was masked in appearance by such a tail-star. Far more than in other areas of inquiry, one ...
605. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... skull like expanded polystyrene. Another dinosaur has been found which was obviously terrestrial but had fully formed feathers, supporting the idea that feathers evolved before flight. T. Rex has been pronounced as slow and lumbering after a computer simulation decreed that it could not have had sufficient muscle on its legs to enable it to run fast. This seems strange when its general form is that of a fairly speedy runner and even a little fall could have been lethal. The computer simulations would, of course, have been performed using present day parameters for such things as gravity. Mammals go West New Scientist, 23.3 .02, p. 12 Modern forms of mammal replaced the ...
... most wretched condition and wishing to inflict punishment on them, collected the Gods in his most holy habitation, and when he had called them together spake as follows. Thus abruptly ends the Critias! It ends in the very middle of a sentence! Maybe Solon's poem had only attained to this point, although having reached its climax it is strange that wanting but a few more lines it could not have been completed. It suggests some tampering with the script, as does the peculiar and significant omission of the name of the capital, and also, indeed, the absurd dates given as the period of Atlantis' eclipse. There was a period of suppression and none more pronounced ...
607. A Personal Reminiscence [Journals] [Aeon]
... implicit in the dynamics of the universe." Having arrived at this point of view, Velikovsky sought unassailable "historical evidence" for the causes of the coincident global catastrophes as described in prehistoric tales and legends, and found what he accepted as such evidence in the ancient records of the apparent motions of Venus among the constellations and its "strange appearance," as recorded by observers in various ancient civilizations. He discovered, according to his own account, that Venus is not mentioned in the Egyptian papyri that were written before the Exodus nor in the literature, in that period, of other civilizations. Venus' first recorded appearance came, again according to Velikovsky, only with ...
608. The Cosmic Double Helix [Journals] [Aeon]
... Frankfort [MAv1] presents a seal from the Second Early Dynastic Period showing some curiously intertwined objects, which form three loops placed vertically over each other. The column ends in two extensions at the bottom and two extensions at the top, the latter stylised as heads. [1 ] Dominique Collon [MAv2] discusses another seal depicting a strange twisted object formed of intertwined filaments and surmounted by two discs with dots inside, eerily resembling eyes. [2 ] Again two or three loops are produced by the filaments. Collon seems to suggest that early chariots, used to bring in the harvest, are depicted here, but my intuition tells me that this is wide off the ...
609. Hatshepsut and the Queen of Sheba: A Critique of Velikovsky's Identification and an Alternative View [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a whole, and since she certainly ruled a much greater territory than the Delta and the adjoining deserts, the lines quoted above cannot bear Nibbi's interpretation. Also indicating a southern location for Punt is the framework of the Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor [63]. This narrative is contained in a manuscript of Middle-Kingdom date, and recounts the strange adventures of an Egyptian sailor who survives shipwreck and lives for four months on a distant island. The island is inhabited by a benign talking serpent who describes himself as "Lord of Punt", and who correctly predicts that the sailor will eventually return safely home on another Egyptian vessel. Although the tale contains bizarre fictional aspects, it ...
610. Planet of the Greeks by Meres J. Weche (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... by a Hyksos invasion. We now come to the second Exodus', led by the second Moses', equated with Sheshi II. This is conjured from a quotation from Manetho in Josephus about a treaty between Thummosis, son of Misphragmuthosis and the Shepherds, inhabitants of Avaris, who go and found Jerusalem! We then move to a strange hypothesis: Akhenaten was not Amenhotep IV but lived 5 centuries later. Amenhotep IV is said to be the Amenophis of Josephus who sent 80,000 lepers to work in stone-quarries and then to Avaris, where they rebelled, aided by 200,000 Shepherds from Jerusalem. Their leader, Osarphis, is designated the third Moses'. ...
