... it may. On many of the Carthage monuments, Tanit is called the face of Ba'al"- her official title, as it were. Now we come to yet a further clue, admittedly an amazing one. The area of the Punic culture yielded not only the emblems of Ba'al Hamman and the two hands depicting Tanit, but also strange masks not unlike the ones discovered at Hazor. There, too, the masks are of a beardless being and sometimes they come outfitted with earrings. Is it possible that the clay masks in Carthage represent Tanit, "the face of Ba'al"? And, turning back to Hazor, would it be far-fetched to suggest that the small ...
752. A Tale of Two Mountains: Ararat and Sinai [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a righteous man saved with his family in a boat of some kind [5 ]. Surely this points to a common ancestry amongst even the most diverse and far-flung peoples? Given the prominence in early Egypt of Joseph and Moses, with their Toledoth records, we should expect to find Flood legends in the sophisticated Egyptian mythology as well. Strangely, ancient Egypt is thought by some to be one of the few nations in which memory of a universal Flood has not been preserved. David Fasold [6 ] thinks otherwise, pointing out that the begetter of the gods' of Egypt was Nu, a name not dissimilar to Noah [7 ]. Moreover, the original gods ...
753. A Chronological Note on the Kassites [Journals] [Aeon]
... and late representatives way down into "Hellenistic Times."(17) An answer to this question cannot be derived from records in the Kassites' own language because they seem to have never used it for writing: "No texts or even sentences survive that are written in the Kassite language."(18) This is considered very strange because down to Alexander the Great (who campaigned from Babylon against the Kassites as late as 324/323 BCE) this nation is well attested in sources of foes and neighbors but never used its native tongue. All that can be said about their own language, therefore, "is hampered by the fact that most Kassite names were ...
754. The Chronology of the Late Kings of Egypt [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... obvious and related to such a unique incident that it was accepted, even by the skeptics- that is, until a further examination of the site more than a decade later revealed that the pottery in association with the destroyed city was of the type dated otherwise to the Early Bronze Age centuries earlier than the time attributed to Joshua.27 Strangely, there was nothing on the mound that could be dated as late as the time of Joshua, an observation that has defied explanation in terms of the accepted chronology.28 What became of the occupational residues over a period of 600 years? It was proposed that these evidences had been washed off the mound by rain.29 Investigations ...
755. Problems of Early Anatolian History Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , omitting Phraortes and thus making Deioces even more famous).17 If this is the case, then Deioces would be a contemporary of the early part of Ardys' reign or the late part of Gyges' reign. However, if we recall that in 660 B.C . Gyges made a treaty with Ashurbanipal, it would seem strange to find Deioces, who was transported by Sargon in 715 B.C . to Hamath, to still be around at the time of Ashurbanipal. Smith's Smaller Classical Dictionary states the following about Deioces: "Deioces- first king of Media, after the Medes had thrown off the supremacy of the Assyrians, reigns 709-656 B.C ...
... . Then, as this slightly coaly material gave out, the brownish and yellowish sandstones of the Dogger formation were deposited. Very probably the satellite then went into a southern declination, and so the sea' became shallow' and very warm. In what is now southern Germany there must have been many lagoons, peopled with a multitude of strange animals, the saurians: the ichthyosaurus and plesiosaurus, which lived in the water; the teleosaurus and the brontosaurus, which lived on land, though doubtless near the water; the pterodactyl, which was even able to rise in the air; and many others. With them lived the arch-bird, archaeopteryx. There were also great reefs ...

... which understand the flood story as an echo of a historical event fall to the ground' [20]. The main goal of this study is to outline the violent natural disasters - in particular the ancient flood catastrophes - documented in various traditions and set to play in the form of games and rituals. Karl Meuli called these catastrophe games strange, but it is proven beyond doubt that these floods were re-enacted in play-form' [21]. Until the turn of this century, it was an annual custom in parts of Armenia and Syria to pour water over others and oneself, and also (in commemoration of the biblical Deluge) to let a pigeon free [22] ...
758. Mass Movements in Level Areas [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... minerals may become lost, and the system may flow. The surface soil, including vegetallon and houses, may then move in a near-horizontal direction. A historic case involving a nearly level coastal plain in Greece is described by Marinates as follows: "in the year 373/2 B.C ., during a disastrous winternight, a strange thing happened in central Greece. Helice, a great and prosperous town on the north coast of the Pelopon nesos, was engulfed by the waves after being levelled by an earthquake. Not a single soul survived. I .. . ) The next day two thousand men hastened to the spot to bury the dead, but they found ...
... arc form. The whole area has the appearance which would result from a push from the north combined with a pull from the south: and both movements are now explained. The satellite's pull from the south was also responsible for the formation of the Tarim basin, that great depression whose presence among the Central Asian highlands has been regarded as strange. It is important to note that the Turanian and Himalayan arcs must be viewed with reference to the Tertiary post-stationary equator, not the present equator. The Himalayan pseudo-stationary period also came to a comparatively early end. If the Himalayan system had been situated directly under the path of the satellite it might have held it for a very long ...
760. Evidence of An Inversion Event? [Journals] [Aeon]
... various species would not disappear all at once, but could survive different lengths of time, until combinations of factors in the altered world caused their demise. In the example under "The Nature of an Inversion," we assumed for convenience that the poles and the roll axis were located on the equator at 0 and 180 degrees longitude. Strangely, perhaps, these same pole locations are quite satisfactory to the inferred inversion event which attempts to explain the extinctions that occurred during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition. Poles in these locales would result in the maximum roll velocity zone being along or near the 90 degree meridian, which passes through Siberia and North America, and which lies parallel to and ...
