... into this field, have created exactly the problem they claim they wish to avoid. The field has been left open to speculators who exploit the sensational aspects of the ancient world. By not investigating and clarifying some of the data, it is left to opportunists who prefer hypothesizing to critical analysis. RELIGION The previous causes were general and create strange reactions to many new ideas. There are two other causes of the affair that are related to what Velikovsky said. One of these is real and the other is speculative. It has been substantiated that religion played a part in some of the actions against Velikovsky. Oddly, his theory joined the religious and scientific forces in efforts to ...
972. Man: The Past, The Present, and the Future [Books]
... sun, moon, and stars instead of watching the earth, be would see that be was moving with the earth, and would feel that there was a rapid change of climate. If the observer is standing at one of the pivot points of the careening earth, be will find that the compass points will change. The sun will strangely appear to rise in the south and set in the north, at one pivot point-because the land he bad known as being south of him would be to the east. Similarly, at the other pivot point the sum would appear to rise in the north and set in the south. Herodotus was told by the priests of Memphis there ...
973. The Saturn Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... see into space further than the Big Bang theory admits - is this true? Wal said that Earl Milton looked at the results from the various spectra of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collision with the planet Jupiter and he showed they fitted better with the effects of electrical discharges between the bodies and Jupiter before they actually struck the planet. So those strange, violent outbursts which soaked the detectors on earth and sent them over their detection limits would be explicable in terms of electrical discharges. Also there were auroral effects on Jupiter which were out of all proportion to the tiny sizes of the rocks that hit the planet. The same thing would happen on Earth if we were struck by a ...
974. Pillars of Straw [Journals] [Aeon]
... that time in defiance of the claims of the established historians." [53] He's a fine one to talk! Ginenthal's solution to this apparent conundrum led him to move the age of the pyramids forward in time to the first millennium B.C . when the Iron Age in Egypt is believed to have commenced. This seems rather strange to me because, in contesting an orthodox belief, he is relying on another orthodox belief. He contests the accepted age assigned to the building of the pyramids by relying on the accepted age assigned to the Iron age. Is he not just as much going against "the claims of the established historians" in moving the pyramid age ...
975. A Fire not Blown [Books]
... . The cave at Arkalochori contained miniature double axes in gold and silver, and other weapons. In the Psychro cave a fragment of a jar was found, decorated with a leaping goat. Goats were thought to be more than usually sensitive to electrical fields, or rather to the presence of a deity. They were responsible, through their strange movements and sounds, for the discovery by the goatherd Koretas of the conditions at Delphi [Pytho] that were favourable for the inspiration' of a Sibyl or unveiler'. The Latin caper, goat, may Q-CD vol. 13, A Fire Not Blown, Ch. 4: Zeus 25 be ka container'; compare the ...
976. Jupiter -- God of Abraham (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Like the concept of righteousness, the mountain-abiding characteristic of Jupiter would be another instance of a "borrowing" from the earlier Saturn. And was not Jupiter called "the younger Saturn" just as Saturn was called "the elder Jupiter"?(135) 11. The Covenant Soon after his meeting with the kings, Abram performed a strange ritual. He offered his god a sacrifice in which he severed animals in half. "And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp . . . passed between [the] pieces."(136) Concerning this ritual, ...

... herds of grazing animals. When the mammoths died, temperatures must have been falling rapidly, even though the final Ice Age of the Pleistocene, and the epoch itself, was drawing to a close. It is difficult to come up with an entirely satisfactory explanation. Even if the mammoths died during a late cooling episode, it is still strange that, as temperatures subsequently rose elsewhere, they and the land which previously supported them remained in a permanently frozen state [18, 22, 41]. Elsewhere, when the ice-sheets melted at the end of the Pleistocene, the release of stored-up water led to a rise in sea-level of over 100 metres. For many years, ...
978. Were the "Sumerians of the Third Millennium" in Reality the Chaldeans of the First Millennium? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... first millennium. For Mesopotamia we have every indication of such an economy, particularly in the Neo-Babylonian period (cf. in great detail Oppenheim, Ch. II). Nevertheless, "the lack of any written evidence for first-millennium trade . . . [is] not easily explained" (ibid.94). The question regarding the strange lack of such documents in a time of flourishing capitalistic trade and their rich occurrence in a "Sumer of the 3rd millennium" has dismayed Assyriologists constantly: "We do not have answers to these questions" (ibid. 95). We are of the opinion that an answer can be found when the numerously found economic cuneiform documents ...
979. From Fadus the Procurator to Florus [Books]
... understood what he was about, she endeavored to hinder him from doing it, and said to him that this thing would bring him into danger; and that, as he was a king, he would thereby bring himself into great odium among his subjects, when they should understand that he was so fond of rites that were to them strange and foreign; and that they would never bear to be ruled over by a Jew. This it was that she said to him, and for the present persuaded him to forbear. And when he had related what she had said to Ananias, he confirmed what his mother had said; and when he had also threatened to leave ...
980. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that of Rohl. I would agree with this and with the conclusion that Ramesses III is the biblical Shishak'. However why should this identification of Shishak' produce a more accurate chronology than one based on Ramesses II = Shishak' - as is the case with the New Chronology'? An analysis of A Test of Time reveals a strange anomaly which, unless it can be satisfactorily explained, seriously endangers the credibility of Rohl's revision. The reference on which the following analysis is based comes from A Test of Time, p. 245 where Conclusion Twenty-Two' states that the conventional dates for the 1st Dynasty of Babylon should be lowered by 227 years. When the reduction is ...
