... , Saevus, caeco, etc [9 ]. War itself was frequently designated by the god's name. Dumezil summarised his extensive discussion of the cult of Mars as follows: "From whatever side one views the problem, whether at Rome, or at Iguvium, or in Etruria, a strict checking of the arguments leaves Mars in his traditional role as warrior god and god of the warriors." [10] Finally, Wagenvoort and Hermansen called attention to the chthonic* elements in the cult of Mars [11]. The former pointed out that Seneca's Apocolocyntosis attests to the tradition that the entrance to the underworld was located on the Campus Martius [12]. Wagenvoort ...
382. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... would be confirmed if iridium should be found in soil around Dark Age settlements and reminds sceptics of the Tunguska event in 1908. Chaos Reigns source: New Scientist 21.10.89, pp. 42-47 In an overview of the implications of the new science of chaos, Ian Percival shows that the theory touches all disciplines and that the traditional approach of scientists in trying to find simple answers to the world around us with deterministic theories and confident extrapolation cannot no longer be accepted. Newton's laws of motion are the classical example of determinism, in which the future is uniquely determined by the past, but simple mathematical analysis shows that even in simple systems, which obey Newton's laws ...

... in those days": there are none now. Fortunately, it was not stated that "there will be Giants", because, obviously, that would have all kinds of possibilities for acceptable interpretation. JC EV COCHRONE RESPONDS: The belief that "there were giants in those days" is very widespread in nature. Consider the following tradition of the Pawnee Indians: "The first men who lived on earth were very large Indians. They were giants; very big and very strong." (George Grinnell, Pawnee Hero Stories and Folk-Tales," 1961, p. 354). According to Pawnee tradition, this race of giants was killed by the Flood. How ...
384. Night of the Gods: The Axis and the Universe-Tree [Books]
... in altum erectum sub dio locabant, patria cum lingua Irminsul appellantes, quod Latine dicitur universalis columna sustinens omnia. It was thus a big wooden post set up in the open air. " As a cosmogonic column related to the Scandinavian Yggdrasill," writes M. Goblet d'Alviella,17 "the Irminsul connects itself just as well with the tradition of the universal pillar as with that of the Tree of the world." But the axis idea seems never to have crossed M. Goblet's vision. He however approaches very near to the theory advocated in this Inquiry (without however coming into touch with it) when he says "the Chaldeans must be included among the peoples who ...
385. Jupiter in Collision: in Search of Velikovsky's Comet [Articles]
... mysterious pillar seems the first to demand explanation." Velikovsky came to his catastrophic thesis through a search for a reliable chronology for ancient middle eastern history. This search, born of the realization that both Egyptians and Israelites alike went through a great physical upheaval, gave rise to the most influential work on catastrophism published in this century. Hebrew traditions of the red and poisonous Nile, the impenetrable darkness, the hot stones from heaven, the great winds and noise, the anomalous behaviour of insects and animals and the tidal effect at the Sea of Passage were collected and matched to other worldwide ancient traditions, convincing Velikovsky that the Exodus event was part of a global upheaval caused in ...

387. The Dawnseekers: the First History of American Paleontology by Robert West Howard [Journals] [Kronos]
... to rethink old ideas rigorously, consider the implications of new facts, and modify established conceptual frameworks. In the last century, this was demonstrated in the academic and social approach to the theory of evolution in general, and the validity of the geological and paleontological records in particular. In this century, one is now asked to rethink the traditional interpretation of the dinosaurs in light of a new critical analysis of the fossil evidence and its implications. As such, there is no room for blind closure or dogmatism in science. Since naturalists are human beings, it is not surprising that personal beliefs and vested interests have, at times, both limited and conditioned scientific investigations and resulting ...
388. Introduction C&AH 3rd Proceedings [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Hammurabi in his right time. The third lecture is by Dr. William Shea. His topic was "Some New Factors Bearing Upon the Date of the Exodus." The present editor has dated Exodus at the time of the end of the Middle Bronze Age, arriving at this conclusion some ten years ago. Now, other- more traditional- scholars are finally beginning to see this possibility. While Dr. Shea dates the Exodus at the end of the Middle Bronze, he tries to ascribe to that era the eighteenth dynasty, not the accepted Hyksos period (as does the present editor). The fourth lecture was by Laura Gollop. Her subject was "David as ...

... and was 30 days long. Five epagomenal days were placed at the end of the year, after the 12 months. These five days were special and did not belong to any of the 12 months. At the end of the Ptolemaic period and at the beginning of the Roman period, the Egyptian year began in late August. This traditional year was divided into three seasons: The first season ( ht) contained the months Thoth, Phaophi, Athyr, and Choiak; the second season (prt) contained the months Tybi, Mechir, Phamenoth, and Pharmuthi; and the third season (smw) contained the months Pachons, Payni, Epeiphi, and Mesore.

390. A Question of Logic [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... C . What is Velikovsky's chronology for the latter portion of this dynasty? His theses and books should be able to supply the answer. A Dynastic Problem I note that the Eighteenth Dynasty ends about 830 B.C .1 and that the reigns of Akhnaton are seventeen years, Tutankhamun seven/eight years,2 and Ay unspecified (traditionally four). A count back yields: Ay about -833 to 830 Tutankhamun about -839 to 833 Akhnaton about -855 to 839 While no reign length is ascribed to Amunhotep Ill, his normal thirty-six or more years is inferred. This of itself takes one back to about -881. Thesis 87 notes that Palestine became a protectorate in the days ...
