... identified as the proto Indo-European culture, the Goddess religion and its symbols survived as an undercurrent in many areas'. The outcome of the clash of Old European with alien Indo-European religious forms was not a replacement of one culture by another, but a gradual hybridization of two different symbolic systems'. Although the Goddess religion went underground and also strange thematic hybridisation occurred, much of the Creator Goddess symbolism survived in the classic civilisations of Greece and Rome, amongst their artisans. The question of whether the Aryan invasion', as proposed by Gimbutas and others, ever actually occurred is beyond the scope of this essay, although it should be noted that a revised picture of the ancient ...
962. The Double Axe and the Celestial Twins [Journals] [Aeon]
... , which are alternately symbolized as wings or as arms. This double aspect of the mythological lightning holds a clue to the nature of the celestial twins, to which we turn to next. The Lightning Twins Zuņi god whose image, like that of the Pueblo Alosaka, symbolically falls midway between the thunder bird and the double axe. The strange nickname which Jesus bestowed on two of his disciples, James and John, has elicited amazement from commentators. For why would these two brothers be called Boanerges- sons of thunder? [26] Around that time it was customary among some Jews to identify sect members with divine beings. Essene leaders, for instance, were called by ...

964. The Garden, the Fall, and the Restoration [Journals] [Kronos]
... temptation among the Israelites, as among al] people of that time, to worship the planet Venus. Later in the story, Moses descends from Mount Sinai to find his followers worshipping a golden calf, symbol of Venus. The Old Testament continues throughout to develop the theme of the prophets of the Lord versus those who would worship "strange gods". The experience of union (" yoga") between inner and outer consciousness surfaces again and again, in different times and places. Siddhartha Gautama, later known as the Buddha, claimed to offer an experience rather than a belief system or doctrine; his teaching was intended to communicate a direct experience of Reality. Reality ...
965. "A Tomb-Pit in the Rock". Part 2 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... her cell with the brooms until they were worn out, and she kept oil burning. Ah, fount of Dirce, and thou holy ground of Thebe whose chariots are many; Ye, at least, will bear me witness, in what sort, unwept by friends, and by what laws I pass to the rock-closed prison of my strange tomb, Ah me unhappy! Who has no home on the earth or in the shades, no home with the living or with the dead.9 1 Sophocles, Antigone, trans. R.C .Jebb. 2 Ibid. 3 Ibid 4 Gardiner, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology, XLIII (1957), 10. 5 ...
966. The Dynasty Of Priests. Part 2 Ch.1 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... of Egypt when the Twenty-first Dynasty came to the throne, at the beginning of the eleventh century. It is assumed that, with the extinction of the Twentieth Dynasty, the Twenty-first peacefully took over the reins of state. Therefore the text of the Ourmai Papyrus, as soon as it was published, caused wonder; an explanation of the strange tale of woe told by Ourmai was sought, but in vain.[3 ] However, in the present work of reconstruction we locate the time of the Twenty-first Dynasty not in the eleventh-tenth centuries but in the Persian period of Egyptian history; we are therefore bound to expect that some complaints of this kind would have been preserved from ...
967. Introduction to (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... Another inscription, in the flyleaf of Ages in Chaos, reads: "To Eleanor and Eric, young but old friends, who are part of myself and my books," and it records something of the affection and respect I had for him. As an editor I had tried to be accessible to enthusiasts possessed by one or another strange notion and had come to be, I hope by experience, familiar with the characteristics such people have in common. To my mind Velikovsky did not indicate them. By his own description he was "the prisoner of an idea," but after all, why not? What an idea! He was tenacious in discussion when he ...

... of the sun in each successive age make the use by many peoples of the term "sun" for "age" understandable. "The Chinese say that it is only since a new order of things has come about that the stars move from east to west."(30) "The signs of the Chinese zodiac have the strange peculiarity of proceeding in a retrograde direction, that is, against the course of the sun."(31) In the Syrian city Ugarit (Ras Shamra) was found a poem dedicated to the planet-goddess Anat, who "massacred the population of the Levant" and who "exchanged the two dawns and the position of the stars ...
969. Ancient History Revisions: the Last 25 years - a Perspective [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Amarna era were found in the upper layers of the site. Heinsohn asks How did tablets from the early second millennium end up in a stratum reaching its peak in the period of the Persian Empire (550-330 BC)? '. The tablets were immediately labelled heirlooms' by their finders but, as he pointed out, it seems strange that Hazoreans kept tablets as heirlooms from the MBA or LBA, yet were apparently incapable of producing any texts of their own. Heinsohn makes a plea to archaeologists to trust their own expertise. To do this, he says, requires the courage to question textbook chronologies'. Unfortunately for archaeologists, the writers of those textbooks are often ...
970. The Reforming Of The Calendar, Part 2 Mars Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... He was "the first to predict eclipses of the sun and to fix the solstices."39 Thales is said to have written two tr eatises, one "On the Solstice" and the other "On the Equinox," neither of which is extant. If the natural year always was what it is now, it is very strange that this discovery should have been attributed to a sage who lived as late as the seventh century, when Egypt and Assyria were already very old kingdoms, and when the dynasty of David was in its last decades. The longest and shortest days of the year, and thus the length of the year, are easily determined by the ...
