Catastrophism is not only mainstream, but has hit the silver screen (no pun intended) with the release of "Deep Impact".

And I should stress that when Deg came into possession of the Beaumont materials, he found them mostly unusable for methodological and theoretical reasons; Beaumont's stress upon Thoth, however, helped convince Deg that a catastrophic age ought to be assigned to the god Hermes and the Planet Mercury. Moreover, with regard to both Velikovsky and de Grazia, too many of Beaumont's conclusions are the same as theirs to explain them as sheer coincidence. I guess that either in the 1920's or 1930's when V. ...

The answer to this riddle, as to many others of similar kind, is best illustrated by the story of Thamus, a mythological king of Egypt, who, with the following words, reproached Thoth for having invented writing: " Most ingenious Theuth [Thoth] . . . one man has the ability to beget arts but the ability to judge of their usefulness or harmfulness . . . belongs to another; and now you, who are the father of letters, have been led by your affection to ascribe to them a power ...

Another version of the divine origin of Alexander has Amon-Zeus coming to Olympia in the form of a python.[1 ] During the short period-less than ten years-of the last Persian domination over Egypt, a certain Petosiris, a dignitary or curate of the temple of the god Thoth at Hermopolis, became known for his learning. He was probably the same Petosiris who, according to Servius, a Roman writer of the late fourth century of the present era, was one of the important sources of ancient knowledge of the catastrophic events precipitated by an "immense globe" of fire, of "bloody redness", ...

... the ancient Egyptians were unaware of environmental cues to seasonal change other than the highly variable stages of the Nile inundation. The point about the Moon was raised to show that the concept of measurement has astronomical reference from the earliest times. Whether it was originally associated with the present moon is not at issue and I assume that the identification of Thoth with the planet Mercury may help clarify the problem. Thoth was clearly a measurer who "computed the times and seasons," (See Budge, E.A .W ., Book of the Dead, New York: 1960, p. 343) suggesting that Mercury may once have played a role not unlike that of the ...

258. The Hermes Connection [Journals] [Aeon]
... B.C ., according to the historical reconstruction of Velikovsky. Seti's royal name was taken from the dark god Set, another Saturnian image or avatar, whom Wallis Budge claimed was equated with Hermes/Mercury, (12) although this identification stems from the late Ptolemaic period. Seti's formalized regnal association was with the comparable Egyptian deity Thoth (12a) , who is equated with Hermes. (13) Thus, Velikovsky's historiographic analysis is supported by this association. A comparison of a "dark god" with other ancient attributes pertaining to a bright effulgence presents a duality often encountered in myth. In Roman lore, for example, the Siva-like god of beginnings and endings ...

Finally, the name "Tuthmosis" is but the Greek version of the Egyptian name Dhwty-ms, meaning "Thoth is born" (18). Could it be that the name "Zebub" (fly) was also not the real name of the pharaoh, as assumed by Jewish legend, but an expression of the bewilderment and hatred of the beleaguered citizens who looked with abhorrence from their walls at the fantastic creature on the royal standard in ...

So the "Child of Thoth" would not appear in their pages except with a humbler name.24 If Israelite writers knew the monarchs by none but theophoric or throne names they evidently contented themselves by alluding to them simply as the Pharaoh- "Big house." We are unacquainted with the cradle or personal name of Thutmose III, but the circumstantial testimony that ...
