301. Father Kugler's Falling Star [Journals] [Kronos]
... comes to conclusions which are at once encouraging and disappointing to proponents of catastrophism. What distinguishes Kugler from his contemporaries studying the same ancient documents is his conviction that there is more to them than their superficial appearance might indicate. In his introduction to Sibyllinischer Sternkampf und Phaethon he writes: Our monograph . . . conveys the urgent lesson that ancient traditions, even clothed as myth or legend, cannot be lightly dismissed as fantastic or even meaningless constructions. And this caution is particularly appropriate when we are dealing with serious reports, especially those of a religious nature, such as are offered in abundance in the Old Testament.(5 ) This was the message underlying the paper, and ...

302. Solomon's Temple: An Astronomical Observatory [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... upon 12 oxen We can readily see here an additional example of division by 12. Also, as the oxen were distributed according to the four cardinal directions, we have cosmic orientation. We are not told about the spacing between oxen but it is reasonable to conclude the circle they made was subdivided into 12 equal parts. According to Jewish tradition they represented the 12-fold subdivision of the zodiac circle. A parallel biblical description in 2 Chronicles 2:4 of this "sea" in Solomon's temple informs us that the ball-like markers were the oxen. This may seem like an irreconcilable divergence between the two texts, but not really. A Hebrew student would find the word for oxen ...

... holds useful parallels. In that agreement, initiated by Hattusilis, we find that precise transit privileges were offered to the incumbent Pharaoh at a time when Egypt had no hold on any territory between the Egyptian border and Naharin, with precious little chance, it would seem, of retaking them by force of arms. All avenues, including the traditional Egyptian coastal road to the Euphrates region (the Way of Horus), [26] and all the transit territory was under the aegis of another sovereign state. So that the reader can be confident that this was not a unique event, the text of the binding Dynasty XIX treaty alludes to a historic precedent for such an agreement ...

... some time in his palace, a deposed king, and then, a blind and broken man, was expelled from Thebes by his sons, actually during the reign of the elder son. All versions agree that he was blind. Is there any evidence that Akhnaton became blind? Let us first put the question thus: is there any tradition that one of the pharaohs was blind? And in order that the analogy with Oedipus should not be a matter of mere chance, is there any tradition that a blind pharaoh was driven into exile? This would be in harmony with Sophocles' version (confirmed by a multitude of other authors who tell of Oedipus' exile), ...

305. Editorial [Journals] [Horus]
... From: Horus Vol. 1 No. 2 (Summer 1985) Home | Issue Contents Editorial Dear Friends: We are happy to present HORUS in color. The editorial task does have its rewards in the unexpected discoveries that spring up out of the blue. In this issue, C. Bowen reviews some ancient traditions that suggest Venus was once a "battle star" specifically that military action was associated with the appearance of Venus as the Evening Star. A leading archaeoastronomer has noticed that an ancient Babylonian astronomical tablet and the Mayan Dresden Codex both indicate that Venus is invisible for 90 days from her disappearance as Morning Star to her reappearance as Evening Star. He remarked that ...

... of Nursery Rhymes edited by Iona and Peter Opie (Oxford University Press, softback edition 1992) This book was originally published in 1951, so there is nothing sensationally new about it but it is interesting to consider how much of ancient myth and custom might be hidden in the harmless little ditties which mothers still sing to their children. Oral tradition survives for hundreds of years and the conservative nature of children combined with the fact that they are often in contact with the grandparent generation means that rhymes can be passed on virtually unchanged for a long time. This book consists of detailed assessments of the origins and meanings of over 500 collected rhymes and, although many appear to have been ...

307. A Different View on the Chronology of Hazor [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Via Maris (Way of the Sea), at the northern point that connects Israel to Damascus and onto Mesopotamia. Recently, Dr. Yigael Yadin has described the archaeology of this famous Biblical site, expertly amplifying the archaeological record and succeeding strata with pictures and explanations.1 We find it necessary, however, to challenge the conventional/ traditional chronology used by Dr. Yadin and to illustrate the possibility that the new chronology instituted by Dr. Velikovsky is the correct one. The crux of the problem between the two competing chronologies is the five-hundred year gap between them. For example, the conventional chronology places Thutmoses III in the Late Bronze Age, c. 1450 B. ...

... , by Thomas L. Thompson, (1 ) I tried to show that the revisionist school of ancient Israelite history is as vulnerable to evidence-based criticism as its mainstream opponent. I wanted to make clear that Thompson, the author, believes in the same mixture of fundamentalist and pseudoastronomical dates for the ancient Near East as do the defenders of traditional, ancient Israelite history. It did not come as a surprise that I only had to wait one fortnight to see Thompson's opponents explode his book in his face. I refer, of course, to John Noble Wilford's New York Times article "From Israeli Site, News of House of David" of August 6, 1993. ( ...

... area in 1867, following the discovery of gold nugggets in a dry gully, and the hill has apparently always been referred to as a Pyramid'. Various persons and historical society groups have examined and reported on the terracing, producing a variety of theories, as listed below. 1. Aborigines built the terraces. There is no known tradition of Aborigines building structures of this type. 2. White grape growers built the terraces. There is little evidence that grapes were ever grown in the area. From the girth of trees currently growing through the terraces, many must be over 100 years old, so the terraces must be at least that age. This theory, therefore ...
