... the start, and however well they have been able to perform it there has been no doubt but that the sequence is unbroken. Many migrations and conquests occupy the interval, but there seems to be no case of a people totally exterminating the culture of those they conquered. Rather the opposite phenomenon seems to have continually occurred, namely that strange process by which a conquered culture conquers its conquerors, submitting to their sway while indoctrinating them in its ancient beliefs. Nevertheless something should be said about the structure of the annals in order to defend our contention that they in fact span, if they do not fill, the whole period of time from the catastrophe of Venus to the ...
742. The Olympian Rulers [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Cetus beast, the "Devil-Dog" Seth. (Source : Spalding Club). For a complete analysis see Beaumont (1949), 79. This creature cannot with certainty be identified as of a species live or extinct, and is commonly called the Typhonian Animal. ' Sometimes Set is depicted as a man with the head of this strange quadruped." To the Greeks this must be Typhon, hence Phaeton; thus Seth also later ties into Venusian events. Perhaps the constellation and Latin word came long after the sky-seas monster called Setesh (Egp.) and Seth. But what was Seth before he was Typhon? He was the leader of a band of conspirators who ...
743. Ice Cores of Greenland [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the core; it seems to have produced no sharp deviation in the tests of oxygen isotope extremes, or in dust micro-particles, or in acid rain. Since this blast was more powerful than others that did register, and since it raised enough dust to darken the skies for a long period of time, its absence from the lists is strange. Furthermore, Tunguska's blast produced nitrogen oxides in the Earth's stratosphere that lowered the Earth's temperature 0.3 ? C for a decade (1908-18)[8 ]. The unusual gases and temperature drops should have affected the O 18 measure for those years as well as provided ample microparticles for an exhibition of deviance. Nor are climatic ...
744. The Death of Heracles [Journals] [Aeon]
... so far as he represented the Tyrian god, was believed to have perished by a voluntary death on a pyre. For on many a beach and headland of the Aegean, where the Phoenicians had their trading factories, the Greeks may have watched the bale-fires of Melqarth blazing in the darkness of night, and have learned with wonder that the strange folk were burning their god. In this way the legend of the voyages of Hercules and his death in the flames may be supposed to have originated. Yet with the legend the Greeks borrowed the custom of burning the god; for at festivals of Hercules a pyre used to be kindled in memory of the hero's fiery death on Mount ...
745. Cuchulain -- Comet or Meteor? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... above him and around him, wherever he went, prophesying the shedding of the blood of warriors and champions. Very large meteors may be accompanied by thunderous sounds like "a series of detonations," caused by the shock waves of their passage.[6 ] After that his distortion came upon him and he became horrible, many-shaped, strange and unrecognizable. His haunches shook about him. . . . His feet and his shins and his knees came to the back; his heels and his calves and his hams came to the front. . . . The sinews of his head were stretched to the nape of his neck and every huge, immeasurable, vast, incalculable ...
746. The Afar Triangle As the Nether Reaches of Eden and Babel [Journals] [Aeon]
... the same as having either all heads or all tails on seven consecutive tosses of a coin: that is, one in 26, or one in 64. Odds of 63 to one represent a formidable problem for the proponents of Pangaea. (2 ) How is it that Pangaea was not a closed circular land mass, but rather a strange, Pac-man-shaped formation, with a missing wedge that was filled by the Sea of Tethys to the very middle of the land, that is, to the Mediterranean? If there were forces capable of collecting all the land on one side of Earth, how is it that those forces were not capable of compacting the land into one circular ...
747. Plagues and Comets [Books] [de Grazia books]
... or editorial formula.) Moses would not have gained access to the Pharaoh and his advisers if he were not already known and respected and if they had not been uneasy. Moses and Aaron would not have introduced their rod into the conference with Pharaoh unless they were convinced of its superiority. It was perhaps heavily magnetized; it would behave strangely in the presence of metal objects, whether on the robes of persons, or on furnishings, or perhaps unobtrusively carried by Moses and Aaron, who might have borne other magnetized or electrified objects as well [26]. A tendency to draw to one end of itself the rods of the Egyptian scientists, as they were cast down ...
748. Ebla and Near East Chronology Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... ended in conflagration also. Likewise, sites associated with the Akkadians in a great arc from eastern Anatolia, the Khabur triangle (i .e . Tel Brak), and the middle Euphrates-Tigris (Mari and Asshur), and deep into Sumeria, display evidence of similar conflagration, succeeded by strata of reduced and squatter settlement. Forty seven strange signs are said to have announced the fall of Akkad.[15] In the reign of Sar kalli shari a horde of barbarians, the Umman Manda, erupted from the north, and the King List inserts 21 kings of the Guti between Akkad and the Ur III dynasty (neo-Sumerian). Their existence has variously been questioned, ...
749. Integration or Alienation: A Case Study of the Twelve Tribes [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... .[7 ] And the conscious awareness of a national God evolved with Abraham, rather than on the "eve" of monarchy. Alt adds yet another principle for some forms of unity among the tribes, although he opposes Buccellati's thesis of national unity from the time of the Exodus. He views the settlement into a land full of strange people, gods, and kings, as causing a partial necessity to unify. Alt sees the desire to remain alienated from the rest of the country also as a dominant link in unity. Archaeologist W.F . Albright, in refutation of Orlinsky's point (c ), above, explains that the Israelite leaders were distinctly charismatic characters ...
750. The End of Mitanni and Some Related Problems [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the Hittite allies at Kadesh.34 See section, "Hanigalbat", below. Further evidence against the Iranian location for Mitanni is given in the campaign record of the Hittite king Suppiluliumas I; Suppiluliumas destroys the Kingdom of Mitanni.35 As already noted, Velikovskians will find it necessary to invent a second Tushratta, 36 so that that strange enigma, the Assyrian prince Suppiluliumas II37 can be seen to have destroyed Mitanni about 650. Suppiluliumas marched direct from Anatolia across the Euphrates near Malatya into the country of Isuwa; he then proceeded via Alse to Wassukanni, the Mitannian capital. Tushratta, the king, had departed, so he (re)crossed the Euphrates. He ...
