... of Mentuhotep II (11th Dynasty) - for the burial of a jubilee (heb sed) statue of the ruling monarch on the eve of the celebration of jubilee. The curious presence of Senenmut in the decorated chamber signified to Helck that it was also destined to hold a statue of Hatshepsut's Great Steward, as a mock burial'. Strangely, the intended sarcophagus was found shattered in pieces on top of Sheikh Abd el-Qurna. Although its exterior surface was carefully polished, carved and given a coat of red varnish, the lid was never completed. Was Senenmut/Solomon really meant to have been buried in it? Senenmut's Astronomical Ceiling The versatility of Senenmut is revealed in the ...
... , while Rev. xviii.1 refers to the marvellous and surprising light with which the night-sky was illuminated during the approach and capture of the planet Luna. The gravitational powers of Luna upset the equilibrium of tie earth's threefold organism: the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, and the atmosphere. The disturbances in the atmosphere are referred to in the strange passage, Rev. i. 7, which sticks in its context as a distinctly discernible piece of foreign matter: `Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. ' The word `he' refers ...
633. Chapter II: The Events [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... by people describing, in the vernacular, events that were unusual. When a yellowish-white material, which tastes like honey, is flowing in a stream of water or has melted and formed its own stream, poetical phrases are easily acquired. THE COW While In the desert the Hebrews started the worship of bulls and calves. Although this seems strange, it turns out that the Hebrews were not the only ones instigating bovine worship at this time. This form of devotion became a favorite pastime throughout the world. The Apis bull cult was revived in Egypt, and bovine worship became extensive in Minoan Crete and Mycenaean Greece. Elaborate ceremonies were conducted in many lands to commemorate the" ...
634. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... have possessed. The baffling syntax and unknown terms in the Pyramid Texts, lining the tomb of Unas from floor to ceiling, a fifth dynasty pharaoh of Egypt circa 2350 bce, located in the complex at Saqqara, have left the experts greatly mystified. Especially since the monumental pyramids at Giza, attributed to the fourth dynasty, are themselves strangely mute. These Pyramid Texts leave the anachronistic imagery of a long vanished culture with "the strange glimpses they seemed to afford of a high intelligence at work...reporting on experiences that prehistoric man' should never have had and expressing notions he should never have been able to formulate." (8 ) If the "aged ...
635. Rejoinder to Dirkzwager [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... questions, with regard to aspects of Egyptian chronology, because one can hardly posit such a contention for application in this one instance. Thus if one should favor a 12-year co-regency between Amunhotep III and Akhnaton one would still be required to give Akhnaton 17 regnal years after such co-regency. So even in their modified form Dirkzwager's Egyptian proposals are most strange. In the case of his views on Taharqa it is a strange reign count; on the 26th Dynasty it is dating that is contrary to all available evidence. These are nowhere discussed. In accepting 710 for the 14th year of Hezekiah Dirkzwager leaves open his treatment of the reigns of the kings of Israel and Judah prior to that ...
... , advancing towards the `city', the safe seats of the observers, 62 and inundating enormous areas which were formerly inhabited: a distance of 1,600 furlongs, or stadia: almost 200 miles, from the former shore is mentioned. This figure need not by any means be fanciful! Their depth cannot be gauged from the strange (probably corrupt) description which is given in verse 20, but it may be inferred that it vas not so very great. 63 The nineteenth myth is one of exceeding clearness and beauty, and therefore, one of extreme importance. We cannot but admire again the excellent observation of the original reporter, and the simple, powerful ...
... Babylonia, but Babylonia was not their native land. They came from Chaldea and transferred their capital to Babylon. Ezekiel called them "Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity" (Ezekiel 23:15). Where was "the land of their nativity"? From where did Nabopolassar come? Judged by the remnants of the strange culture ascribed to the "Hittites," which I identify as Chaldean, the land of the Chaldean nativity in the eighth and seventh centuries was in Cappadocia and Cilicia, between the Black Sea on the north, the region of Ararat and the upper Euphrates on the east, the big bend of the Mediterranean on the south, and ...
638. Appendices (The Book of Revelation is History) [Books]
... and learning be said to have been blooming in that part of the world then. The conquered were Palestinians; the pick of them may have been Jews, or they may not. The point is of no importance. The members of the College of Magicians and Astrologers, the Babylonian `Royal Society', took great interest in certain strange tales which had somehow got into their hands. Special disputations were held in which `many ran to and fro, and knowledge was increased'. But the myths, approached from a dead angle, and tackled with inefficient thought-tools, remained `shut and sealed'. Even Daniel, their erudite president-whose grandiloquent title was `Chief of ...
639. The Foundations Of Egyptian Chronology. Supplement: Astronomy And Chronology Ch.1 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... discrepancies, the main confusion arises from the fact that it is not easy to determine which of the kings known from monumental inscriptions are meant by Manetho. The list is "so terribly mangled by copyists that it would be most unsafe to trust its data" unless it is confirmed by other evidence.[3 ] Sequences of kings with strange names never found on monuments fill the various versions of Manetho. There is reason to think that the copyists mutilated a list that had come from the hand of its author in an already chaotic and untrustworthy state. "The chronology of Manetho" is "a late, careless and uncritical compilation, which can be proven wrong from the ...
640. Cosmic Heretics [Journals] [Aeon]
... last of the leaves, so that half-consciously and driven by eddies of customs and calendar, de Grazia saw more of his friends like Livio Catullus Stecchini and of his brother Sebastian. He did not know Velikovsky, and if he had been asked about him, he would have replied that he had never heard of him. This may appear strange, considering that Deg was to be numbered, by whatever scales a social psychologist might invent to distinguish the "informed and involved" from the "ignorant and apathetic," as a high-scorer on information and involvement. He had enough children in the Princeton school system, a half-dozen, to catch the sound of names from all quarters ...
