... Egypt, and Their Implications for Earlier Egyptian Chronology, forthcoming from Kronos Press as Volume II of The Osiris Series. 5. This date is derived from the Turin King-List, which tells us (VI, 2) that the reign of Sebeknefru lasted for 3 years, 10 months and 24 days. Since such intervals were counted from the Thoth 1 at the beginning of the Egyptian year in which the ascension occurred, it seems that her reign would have ended on III smw 25, which corresponds to October 4 Julian, -331. See my Sun, Moon, and Sothis, Chaps. 19 and 20. 6. According to Herodotus (II, 124-140), Cheops ...
302. Night of the Gods: The Axis and the Universe-Tree [Books]
... column which sustains the roof of a royal palace. In the papyrus of Har-si-esi, Osiris is alluded to as " the One in the Tree."90 The erica-tree of Osiris reappears in Maspero's Egyptian tale of the Two Brothers (Papyrus of Orbiney in Brit. Mus.) where Bitiou places his heart in an acacia-tree. At Hermopolis-Magna Thoth was represented by a cocoa-palm 60 cubits high. The "coffin-tree" of Osiris is shown by a Theban bas-relief from bledinet-abu (Th. Deveria) to be at the water's edge.91 Although called an erica at times, it seems to be a tamarisk also and in its branches perches the bennu-bird. This is a further identification ...
303. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Pole Star [Books]
... ,61 a god who personified the invariable Law presiding over the Universe and its movements. But Lenormant also makes Suddiiq's brother Misor the Law personified, so that the brothers must have been a dual pair, like Minas and RadaMantllus. And Misor's son was Taut, a curiously similar word to the Chinese Tao and to the Egyptian Tahuti (Thoth), whom in fact, as Sanchoniathon or Philo said (per Eusebius) that he was. (Tahuti was the lord and the prophet of Truth, and even the consort, ka, of the Truth-goddesses glyph.62) Anyhow, here is the just made the central deity of the heavens. And it was for a ...
... an incredible celerity, moving by its spirit, without hands or feet or any of those external members by which other animals effect their motion; and in its progress it assumes a variety of forms, moving in a spiral course and darting forwards with whatever degree of swiftness it pleases ** *Taautus was the Hermes of the Greeks, Thoth of the Egyptians, Teut or Teutates of the Gaels, from whence seem to be derived the words " teach " and " taught," the reference being, of course, to divine knowledge. ** Eusebius: Hist. Eccles. 118A. Such a passage plainly conveys the belief that the serpent was chosen because of its ...
305. When The Comet Fell Ch.11 (The Riddle of the Earth) [Books]
... " * These temple foundations were discovered under an accumulation of peat moss which must have taken ages to collect. The Isle of Iona, adjoining Mull, is not only the most sacred prehistoric part of Scotland, but it has associations of a strange Egyptian character, its Street of the Dead, and a carving in the ruined cathedral of Thoth or Hermes weighing souls. There, too, are the tombs of prehistoric kings whose very names are lost. Originally also in Iona stood a temple of 360 upright stones as at Avebury. These matters all point to a very ancient and extinct civilisation, whose priests understood the science of the heavens and based their religion on it. ...

... a disintegration of that political stabilization and peace. (117) This purely sociological and earthbound interpretation of the Sed festival, on the part of Montet, falls flat, however. Furthermore, he may have misconstrued the significance of an Old Kingdom Egyptian text which referred to the divinities Horus, Set, Osiris Khenti-irty, Isis, Nephthys and Thoth as a single entity within the framework of the Sed festival. In one chapter of the Pyramid Texts, the same deities are invoked, reviled and most strongly urged to return to their place of origin and the king is forbidden to welcome them. (118) Montet found it "difficult to understand why [such popular gods] ...

... . 316-318). (46) Once the verdict in favor of Osiris was delivered- from that time forward the idea of truth was associated with [him] and he became the god of truth, and of those who spoke the truth. Moreover, Osiris, having been declared true of word, or true of voice, by Thoth, went up into heaven, and reigned there as king. He also became judge of the dead [and] had the power and the knowledge necessary for "weighing" [the words of men] when they should be tried at the last judgment.

309. The Uranians [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . Both the Sun and Moon are grandchildren of Ouranos and children of Hyperion and Thea [20]. Also, in genesis, light came before the sun and stars. In the Pyramid texts, the earliest extant mythological account, the moon is not prominent in the already then old cosmogony. The texts originate in the Mercurian period (Thoth is the Egyptian god) probably between 4480-4137 B.P . So we think that the Moon was present but cannot be identified. Figure 14.

310. Sothis and the Morning Star in the Pyramid Texts [Journals] [Aeon]
... Sothis as Venus is the logic behind the identifications of other celestial bodies mentioned in the Pyramid Texts, including S3h and Horus as the Morning Star. Indeed, we would suggest a thorough reevaluation of all astral identifications in the most ancient Egyptian texts, including such apparently obvious celestial bodies as those typically assigned to Ra (the Sun), Thoth (the Moon), and the circumpolar stars. Until now the study of the most ancient texts has been governed by a uniformitarian approach to the ancient cosmos; namely, the belief that the currently most prominent celestial bodies must have been uppermost in the ancients' minds as well. The latter belief is demonstrably erroneous. A new ...
311. Let There Be Darkness: An Archetypal Analysis of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich [Journals] [Aeon]
... Aesculapius) was the great god of healing in ancient Greece and was worshipped there for centuries. Yet, Asclepius "lacked an imagery of curing" which is one of the reasons why this healing god yielded to Christ and his shrines were abandoned. (59) The worship of healing gods (e .g . Apollo, Hermes, Thoth) and deified human beings (Imhotep-Asclepius, Amenhotep), who were also considered gods of healing, is historically traceable to the Greco-Roman world, ancient Egypt, and the Near East. (60) Likewise, the gesture of the saving right hand "can be traced through Hellenism back to the Ancient Orient. Right from primeval times ...
312. The Last Supper [Journals] [Aeon]
... the first month of the year to you." [30] This makes Passover, very much like the Molochian rites, a New Year festival. New Year festivals, in their turn, were directly connected with the rites of Saturn. [31] Among the Egyptians, the first month of the year was called Thout (or Thoth). [32] According to Max Müller, the thirteenth day of this month was the day on which Horus was said to have waged war on Set. [33] Throughout Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky identifies the Egyptian Set as cometary Venus. [34] In her index to Velikovsky's work, Alice Miller goes so far ...
... 9. sect. 2, that this period is very confused and uncertain in the ancient authors. They were probably some of them contemporary together for some time; one of the best evidences we have, I mean Ptolemy's Canon, omits them all, as if they did not all together reign one whole year, nor had a single Thoth, or new-year's day, (which then fell upon August 6,) in their entire reigns. Dio also, who says that Vitellius reigned a year within ten days, does yet estimate all their reigns together at no more than one year, one month, and two days. (27) There are coins of this Casian ...
314. A Fire not Blown [Books]
... Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The eye was thought to be a source of radiation. Axe, hoe, spear and arrow were symbols of lightning and radiation. Seven is an important number, being five plus the sun and moon. The Cretan goddess is concerned, like Artemis, with both animals and radiation. Thoth, the Egyptian god of electricity who was equated with the Greek Hermes and the Roman Mercury, was active in the sky. He restarted Ra's boat when it had stopped. This Egyptian story is in harmony with accounts from elsewhere, such as the record of phenomena at the battle of Beth Horon after the Exodus, during the invasion ...

316. Dating the Wars of Seti I [Journals] [SIS Review]
... amount of material already published in support of Velikovsky's scheme does deserve a brief reply. The remains of a small temple at Hermopolis bear inscriptions by Merenptah and Usikheprure-setpenre Seti, in which both kings claim some part in building it. Velikovsky notes that Merenptah claims "to have completed the structure and to have dedicated it to the deity, presumably Thoth". He then argues that this is an illogical claim if Merenptah preceded Seti, and that the temple's inscriptions support the revised order, in which Seti precedes Merenptah by more than a century (129). However, this argument is not strong enough to counteract the genealogical material which proves the conventional order. Faulkner's understanding of the ...

With a quotation then from a well-known author, in regard to this battle in Egyptian skies, I will turn to other lands. [picture] AMMONITE FOSSIL SPIRAL IN GLASTONBURY WALL ON DOD (THOTH) LANE "Typhon determined to contend with his brother Osiris for the prize of life and empire. To accomplish his atrocious ends with more facility, he assumed the mask of friendship, and probably still further hiding his new scheme of villainy under the specious semblance of remorse, he invited his unsuspecting victim to a feast, which he ...

... 1956, 148), in spite of the absence of any reference to this mother or her status. 44. LNK, 66f. In spite of poor agreement with respect to ancillary titles, this identification seems pretty well secured by a 2 gen. parallelism of names combined with the shared title "general [of the place beloved of Thoth]." Cf. with the titles of Ankhefenkhons B for this qualification implicit in the combination of titles held by Nespaherenhat's maternal ancestors. If this title denotes a single-line post, this identification would become practically impossible to avoid (by a process of elimination). 45. Even with such measures, however, Bierbrier's identification would seem ...
319. Morning Star* [Journals] [Aeon]
... away from the encircling band, often visualized as an encircling wall, Horus was also lauded as "he who is south of [i .e ., below] the wall." (268) One last item I wish to mention, because we have to draw the line somewhere, is that in a somewhat late myth, Thoth decreed that Horus Behutet should thenceforth be called Light-giver. (269) I mention this because a near-identical name- Light Bringer or Light Bearer, that is Lucifer- was one of the Latin names for the Morning Star. THE DUAT When we saw Horus described as the god, or chief, of the Netherworld, the word translated ...

... the august who were before the gods, children of Ptah issued forth of him, engendered to take the North and the South [that is the Universe], to create in Thebes and in Memphis; the creators of all creation." Sesun or xemenntt U heiroglyhs as the name of Hermopolis, relates to these 8 gods who assisted Thoth in his office of orderer of the creation. 41 See also the mention of these xemennu and the 8 hawk-headed celestial figures at Denderah. " The Akhimous seem to have been the astra planAmena and the aplanc8 astra of the Egyptians, who deified them and confided to them the towing of the barque in which the sun traverses the heavens ...
321. From Myth to a Physical Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... the creator-king- the Demiurge (c .f ., the Greek Eros: in numerous sources one notes that the will or outflow of the creator's heart took form as the warrior hero). In the case of Egyptian symbolism the relationship can be confirmed in every major variant of the warrior hero, from Shu, to Horus, to Thoth. The heart from which the hero is born is the great goddess. Venus-Eye I believe it was O.G .S . Crawford who first drew scholars' attention to the widespread pictographs and symbolic images of what he called "the Eye Goddess." But the planet Venus he never mentioned, so he missed the key. ...

... Thus, when Ian Tresman asked for permission to publish the Introduction to my paper on one of his Web Sites, I asked him to change the words "none have been detected" to read "only two-thirds of the amount predicted have been detected." Some time later, when Amy Acheson also asked to reprint the same Introduction in Thoth, the electronic newsletter published by Kronia Communications, she told me that I had gone from one extreme to the other. As far as she could determine, only about one-third the predicted amount of solar neutrinos had been ascertained. So I said: "Fine, change it to only one-third'." Sure enough, it did ...
... the serpent emblem occupied in the symbolical systems of the earliest historical ages of the world. In Egypt it appears upon every temple, and upon almost every monument, and has generally been regarded as an emblem of consecration. Fig. 66. The explanation of Hermes Trismegistus, (the thrice great Hermes,) who assumed the name of Thoth, in whose temple he officiated, is that the globe signified the simple essence of God, the serpents the vivifying, and the wings the penetrative power of God, pervading all things, and called Love, the whole representing the Supreme Being, in his character of Curator and Preserver. Hermes defines Deity to be "a circle ...
