... Analysis of Ancient History Robert T. Russell The core proposition to be discussed in this chronological treatise is that Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky's date of February 26, 747 BCE, for the cataclysm of the ancient 8th century, is not correct. To be precise, this cosmic and geological upheaval took place on June 15, 762 BCE, the traditional date of the so-called "Great Eclipse." Although the notation "BCE" (Before the Common Era) is used with the title of this treatise, all dates mentioned are derived from the astronomical base date of 762. If any single date may seem to be "off" by a year or so from other related material ...
292. Guidelines To The Saturn Myth [Journals] [Kronos]
... practices, and these drew their formal content from a Saturnian form stretched across the northern sky. Closely related is a mythical biography of Saturn, recounting the planet's cataclysmic history and indicating the roles of other planets in the celestial drama. In the myths, Saturn brings "the arts of civilization" to man. To begin to understand the tradition, one need only consider what civilization itself meant: the first pictorial "alphabets", the first use of the wheel, organization of cities and kingdoms, elaborate kingship rites, the practice of sacrifice, and sweeping wars of conquest. On examination, all such components of the new order reveal a deep symbolic tie to cosmic events ...
293. Angel & Catastrophism Part II [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... kind of paradigm to lend weight and credence to some special inspiration received by some person or persons. If Mary the mother of Jesus, for example, had calmly announced that she had received the inspired notion that she was to be the mother of the Messiah, it is doubtful whether her boast would have excited much attention. Therefore the traditional ruse of attributing such an inspiration, which purported to come from some source other than the imagination or fancy of the recipient as it were, to the visitation of an angel or a god was necessary if it was to gain credence and influence the passage of events. The main problem with such an explanation is that it depends on ...
294. The Book of Revelation is History [Books]
... the leaders and teachers of the early Christian community that we are unable to establish his identity. He must have been a man of travel and education, and a person of authority, because of the form and tenor of the `Letters to the Seven Churches'. Because the redactor addresses his first letter to Ephesus, and also because tradition connects him with this town, he may well have been an Ephesian by birth or residence. As there are only few and remote similarities between the Book of Revelation and the Gospel according to John as well as the Joannine Epistles, John of Ephesus, or John the Apocalyptist, must have been a different person from the writer of ...
295. Chapter 5 Pottery Dating, Faience, and Tin [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... which can survive the erosion of time and weather and bacteria, has always provided the strongest links and clues which have enabled archaeologists . . . [and] prehistorians [and historians] to build up an ordered time-sequence of past events and places. Pottery, furthermore, is made by individuals. . . . There are therefore styles and traditions in the shapes of pots, in the decoration on them, in the materials of which they are made which provide identifying strands running through centuries of time and which the archaeologist can use to pick his way among the political and cultural movements of peoples and traditions. It is possible to follow even the process of the development of a ...
296. Introgenesis (Immanuel Velikovsky's Jewish Science) [Books]
... counter-wish causes a repetition compulsion: the compulsive neurotic "wants to curse and is forced to bless". (8 ) FREUD AND JUNG Edward O. Tabor had remarked that Velikovsky developed "a kind of analytic technique comparable to that which [Theodor] Reik has stripped myths for their core meanings," but Reik remained within the psychoanalytic tradition. (9 ) Velikovsky, despite repeated references to the importance of psychoanalytic insights to his own approach, rarely used overt psychoanalytic conceptualizations- or even referred to his own work in the area- to buttress his arguments. (The only major exception was his demonstration that Nebuchadnezzar and Hattusilis were the same person psychologically: Even then, the psychological ...
297. The Collapsed Sky, Part 1 Venus Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... provinces of the continent, tell about the collapse of the sky in the past. The Ovaherero tribesmen say that many years ago "the Greats of the sky" (Eyuru) let the sky fall on the earth; almost all the people were killed, only a few remained alive. The tribes of Kanga and Loanga also have a tradition of the collapse of the sky which annihilated the human race. The Wanyoro in Unyoro likewise relate that the sky fell on the earth and killed everybody: the god Kagra threw the firmament upon the earth to destroy mankind.(10) The tradition of the Cashinaua, the aborigines of western Brazil, is narrated as follows: " ...
298. Easter Island - the mystery solved [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... must have come from south-east Asia. They made distinctive reed rafts, carved wooden images of circumcised men with goatee beards and inscribed a written script upon special boards. Popular interest centred upon the statues. How had they been carved, transported and erected? Heyerdahl's practical approach over the years, together with his serious consideration of the islanders' traditions, successfully solves these mysteries without recourse to far fetched notions of space men or levitation. By the end of the book we eventually learn how the islanders' insistence that the statues walked from the quarry where they were carved to their coastal destinations was justified. He also satisfactorily sorts out the recent history of the island, for the ...
299. Hereditary Monarchy in Assyria and the Assyrian Kinglist [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... real problems vis a vis the family relationships expressed in the AKL. J. A. Brinkman expressly outlined seven misstatements of genealogical fact concerning the list. In addition, Benno Landsberger in his now classic treatment of early AKL portions also showed the same inclination, although more indirectly. Because of the relatively high number of variations, the genealogical tradition of the AKL is quite faulty. This conclusion is bolstered by Landsberger's analysis of generations for kings 48-71, which shows that half of the genealogical attributions of this section of the AKL are likely to be erroneous. For these reasons it is probably unsafe to accept genealogical statements of the AKL as true without supporting evidence.(4 ) ...
300. How Much Did They Know? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... terms: Ma'at). The system of units became more complex, with different versions of the foot, cubit, talent etc., because they attempted to express such quantities as p, SQRT 2, 3SQRT2 in terms of integral ratios of standard units in different systems. (Incidentally the frequent occurrence of the factors 7 and 11 in traditional systems of units is explained by the use of 22/7 as an approximation for p and 7/5 as an approximation for SQRT 2.) In some ways, Stecchini's work is complementary to that of de Santillana and von Dechend, reflecting on the ground their concept of ancient astronomical understanding, and he follows their line in ...
