... the Standard Solar Model and Laszlo's model fail on the same fundamental observational grounds'. My friend Wal is now so committed to his strange theory that he is unlikely to change his mind but I am impressed by his views that scars on planets and satellites appear to be caused by external electrical discharges. He is a regular contributer to the Thoth electronic series and I sent an email to the editor (thoth@Whidbey.com) to suggest that highly charged bodies may have been ejected from large gaseous planets (by the thermo-electric process) at intervals of possibly centuries and if they had near encounters with the planets before they had time to discharge significantly in the near-vacuum of space ...

... a hawk-headed serpent, were emblems of Kneph or of Amen. And Guigniaut stated that Creuzer had discerned even before Young that the globe or disk flanked by two uraei serpents, winged (as on the temple-fronts) or unwinged, goes back to the supreme divinity Kneph-Agathodemon, as the Greeks called Khnum. Champollion the younger gave it specially to Thoth. Khnum, it should be remembered, is associated with Ptah, and is sometimes found moulding the cosmic Egg on a potters-wheel out of matter furnished by Ptah. But it is more to my purpose that Theodule Deveria had recognized on the naos-cornices "the solar disk flanked by two uraei and by two eyes " as " symbols of ...
153. It's Still the Same Elephant [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1998:2 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents It's Still the Same Elephant Mel and Amy Acheson, Email: thoth@whidbey.com Thoth Vol II, No. 13 Aug 31, 1998 One of the fundamental fables about human nature is the story of the 7 blind men and the elephant. Each blind man touched a different part of the elephant and came up with a different conception of the nature of the beast. Even more elementary than the different concepts- and something not directly addressed by the fable- is the matter of the blind men's different perceptions. The man rubbing the leg thought the elephant was like a tree because his ...

... From: SIS Internet Digest 1998:2 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents Astronomy As Art By Amy Acheson, Email: thoth@whidbey.com Thoth Vol II, No. 11 June 30, 1998 Ptolemy's mathematical epicycles were an effort to explain the celestial order as he saw it in terms of the "divine perfect circles" of his mythical/religious heritage. Copernicus' new viewpoint was based on the same assumption that there is something sacred about "celestial spheres". He tossed out Ptolemy's math and painted a new picture using a concept he imagined would replace the cumbersome epicycles with perfectly circular orbits. See? If you put the Sun here, ...

From: SIS Internet Digest 2000:2 (Dec 2000) Home | Issue Contents Plasma discharges in rock art?Thoth Vol IV, No. 15 Oct 15, 2000 During my first close encounter with Wal Thornhill, he electrified me with a picture of Zeus holding a thunderbolt. The bolt was football shaped with stringy things spiraling out of it. Wal explained that it was the shape a plasmoid took in a vacuum. "Gee-golly-cornpone!" I thought. "The ancient Greeks carved statues of something that hasn't been seen until modern man cranked up the current in a high-voltage lab." Now it's happened again. At the recent seminar in Portland, the work ...

... first appearance of a star on the horizon after invisibility until the sun itself appears on the horizon. So too, with the "motion of Sirius". The point involved is the alteration in the length of the Sirius/Sothis year and that is all that matters. Since Rose does agree that the heliacal rising of Sirius fell on Thoth I in + 139 the rest of his discussion about years just before and after that date is irrelevant. With + 139 as the anchor the Sothic cycle can be projected backwards with sufficient latitude to accommodate possible errors of observation and that is all that my argument depends on. In the category of erroneous speculation let us place Shane H ...

... polar opening where all these things became phenomenal. Eternity, not an abstract thought, but a name for those eternal conditions in the highest heaven, in contrast with the transient features of the lower heaven. In the same chapter is this: (moth) am one of those gods who make Truth the word of Osiris. I am Thoth who make Truth the word of Horus". Truth is the manifestation of the true heaven as seen in the opening. Horus and his father Osiris, variant suns, made their regular visits to that opening, and every feature was the expression of some thought, as every solar feature is today. Every polar condition was to some ...

... gazpacho and tea at a large round table in the hotel cafe, while conference speakers and early arrivals rotated in and out. The luncheon ended on a friendly discussion between advocates of "not believing in anything" and those who are looking for the "real truth" to believe in. I won't name names, but it shouldn't surprise THOTH readers to hear that Mel (seated at a nearby table) hurried over to support the "no belief belief system". Among the conference attendees was a pleasant surprise: there were three teenagers. Two were the sons of long-time catastrophist Alta Price from Iowa and her sister from Seattle. The third was a high-school senior from Whidbey ...
160. The Olympian Rulers [Books] [de Grazia books]
... " and the major displacement of Mercury, sees, in Egypt, Seth and Horus battling, and in Greece, a revolt of the giants against the Olympians led by Zeus. This set of events, then, would occur over a thousand years later than the death of Osiris and would mark the appearance of Mercury, Hermes, or Thoth as a new great god- that is, a god who is threatening the Earth with destruction. The last battle against Typhon will be described below on the occasion of the Venusian catastrophes. There Seth is Typhon. THE BONDS OF SATURN AND JUPITER The primeval clouds that had gathered around the pulsing electric axis between Sun and Super-Uranus had ...
161. Sirius and Saturn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... here is crucial in dealing with the lunar calendar. It is most important that we establish the legitimacy of referring to observation as a check on lunar dates, rather than assuming that they are merely the output of a cycle table and what the Moon actually did was irrelevant. Censorinus was correct that there was a heliacal rising of Sirius on Thoth 1 Egyptian = July 20 Julian, + 139. Theon was correct that the Egyptian calendar and the corrected and retrojected Alexandrian calendar were in phase in -25. (Thoth 1 Egyptian = Thoth 1 Alexandrian, from -25 to -22.) This emphasis on -25 is not to be confused with the inauguration of the actual Alexandrian calendar by ...

... constellation of the Thigh- the old name of the constellation which we now recognise as the Great Bear- and on this line was built the new temple, "as had been done there before." The actual inscription has been translated as follows: - - "The living God, the magnificent son of Asti [a name of Thoth], nourished by the sublime goddess in the temple, the sovereign of the country, stretches the rope in joy. With his glance towards the ak [the middle?] of the Bull's Thigh constellation, he establishes the temple-house of the mistress of Denderah, as took place there before." At another place the king says ...

... thrown into a river, turning into a real one, and seizing a man. Magical rites and incantations were used to install souls in animals, to cure illnesses, to provide a home for the dead person by preserving the khat, or physical body, and to raise the dead. The means for achieving all this is the god Thoth. He is referred to as the god who made Osiris victorious, just as the Greek Hermes is referred to as the slayer of the monster Argos. (Horus is called the Lord of the Divine Staff whereby all the gods have been made victorious, and Hermes Trismegistos, Thrice Great Q-CD vol 12: KA, Ch. 13 ...

... innumerable. It is impossible to stand by the side of one of these noble streams, to see it every moment sweeping away some obstruction to its majestic course, and widening as it flows, without feeling the heart to expand with love and joy and confidence in the great Author of this annual miracle of mercy." Different Forms of Thoth After the flood comes the sowing time. The effects of the inundation, as Osborn shows in another place, "exhibit themselves in a scene of fertility and beauty such as will scarcely be found, in another country at any season of the year. The vivid green of the springing corn, the groves of pomegranate-trees ablaze with the ...

... in these reigns. The Babylonian year always began on Nisanu 1 which, on the official Babylonian calendar as reconstructed by Parker and Dubberstein, fell between March 24 and April 28 (although, as suggested above, Nisanu was probably in Feb./March). The Egyptians counted Year 1 from whenever the Egyptian king took office until 1 Thoth, when Year 2 began. For the Babylonians, the year in which the previous king died and the new king took over carried the year number of the earlier king and was known as the accession year' of the new king. His Year 1 started on 1 Nisanu of the next Babylonian year. The Canon of Kings appears ...

... Earth (c ) Dynamics (d ) Physical evidence (e ) Consistency. Dave recalled that a co-linear alignment for Saturn and Earth (ie, in a line, rather than Earth revolving around Saturn) was considered a dynamically impossibility, until Robert Grubaugh showed that there could be an equilibrium position [See "Visualizing Colinear System", Thoth Vol II no 19, Nov 30, 1998, www.kronia.com/thoth/ThotII19.txt, and "A Proposed Model for the Polar Configuration", Aeon Volume III, No 3 (Oct 1993)] Other co-linear systems are seen in the universe, such as Herbig-Haro objects (eg. see HH 409 ...

... and intelligible worlds"- nearly definitive of Plato's system- are as much stamped with the seals of ancient Egypt as were the doors of Egyptian tombs. All of this still leaves unaddressed the revised chronology. In this case, there are two significant pieces of Greek evidence: The Greek emphasis upon Hermes, identical in all respects to Egypt's Thoth, and the cosmological Timaeus of Plato, which contains definitive related passages to the Egyptian Book of Gates and to the theology of Heliopolis. Specialists in Egyptology know that the Book of Gates is peculiar in literary history. Thus we are not merely indicating some generic Egyptian characteristic, such as reverence for Osiris. On the Egyptian side, ...

... and writers. Egypt was a heavily regulated, bureaucratic state. There is something to be made of Moses' name. It is clearly Egyptian, meaning "child" or "son" [8 ] and lacks the surname or prefix as, for example, in the pharaoh's name, Thoth-Moses, or "Child of the God, Thoth" (Mercury, Hermes). A variant theory says Moses means the "born one" in Egyptian, which is only a clumsy version of "child." Buber says: "That Moses bears an Egyptian name, no matter whether it means born, child (of somebody) ' or something like seed of the pond ...

... for any ordinary purpose. Neugebauer's account is worth further discussion in a later part of this series.(6 ) Finally, on the West side of the roof, one will find the "Dramatic Texts", usually supposed to deal with the "mysteries" involved in the relations between the principal gods of the Egyptians. Horus, Thoth, Isis, Osiris, Set, Nephthys, Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, and Nut figure strongly in these mysteries; there is a family history to unravel, and Pharaoh's relation to it or identity with it.

... realm - the sky. This had been true since the days of creation, thousands of years before, by ancient reckoning in many cultures. The Pharaoh did not dispute the existence of Yahweh, indeed he reasoned and behaved as a typical sceptical and sophisticated ruler: "Maybe their god, which is not unlike our gods, Amen, Thoth, and Horus, has gotten something going for them." His obduracy, of which the Bible makes much, is to a certain degree rational and prompted by his knowing full well that the Hebrew complaint was almost entirely political and economic. It was Moses' scientific renown, coupled with the increasingly terrible natural manifestations, that prompted ...
173. A Re-examination of the Sothic Chronology of Egypt [Journals] [Kronos]
... . Adjustment of a calendar and increasing the length of the year are two completely separate reforms in calendation. Correction of the seasons with the proper months could be effected without the addition to or subtraction from the total length of the civil year. Payni 1 fell near the rising of Sirius (July 19-22) in 238 B.C . Thoth 1,170 days away, occurred on October 22 in the same year. This data coordinates perfectly with Censorinus, making the existence of a continuous Sothic cycle in the first millennium B.C . a firm proposition. CENSORINUS Censorinus, a Latin writer of the third century AD., is unknown to us except for his treatise ...

... looking to the right and left. The black head of Set contrasts sharply with the light head of Horus, emphasizing the pair's role as "the two opponent gods." Closely related to Horus and Set are the twins Isis and Nephthys, often portrayed back to back (fig. 67). The Egyptian pairs Shu and Tefnut, Thoth and Maat, Sekhet and Neith all reveal a similar underlying character. In the Book of the Dead the pictograph of the two "portions" of Horus and Set is the sign , the band of the Aten. (21) The clear implication is that the sun-god's enclosure possesses two twin-like divisions, one light, the other dark ...
175. The Ark in Action [Books] [de Grazia books]
... lions and bulls, griffins and other animals fashioned as cherubim in Assyria and elsewhere, the Ark's cherubim were probably two-footed with unisexual human features [25]. A later Assyrian assemblage (Figure 11) is similar. So are two figures from Egypt, showing two winged goddesses hovering protectively over idols of Osiris, in one case, and Thoth in the other [26]. The cherubim could not be seated or squatting, because they were facing Yahweh, but would stand with faces elevated, says the legend [27]. Figure 12 may convey some notion of their appearance, in accord with legend and with the Bible. It may be seen that their wings would ...
