... (or at least assumed) the power of his predecessor. Moreover there is generally a fourth figure a monster of some sort who, acting on behalf of the deposed king' presents a challenge to the final heavenly ruler and must be overcome before the latter can assert full and perpetual authority."(1 ) Traced through the Greek tradition, the line of succession is characterized by the overthrow of a reigning king and father of the gods by a son whom the father has previously exiled or sought to destroy. In the first generation, Kronos, encouraged by his mother, leads siblings in revolt against his father, Ouranos. Kronos emasculates Ouranos, drives him from heaven ...
422. A Celtic Destruction Myth: 'Togail Bruidne Da Derga' [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... strange if he were surly to me tonight when I reach his abode." None of this rings true; it is a thing contrived by a romanticizing editor engaged in making dramatic fiction out of a piece of history possibly incomprehensible to him. First, for "great fear" to fall on Conaire is unthinkable. No king of Irish tradition could ever feel fear; nor could he turn away from the noise of battle, particularly within a few miles of his own royal house- indeed, it was a provision of Irish law that if any king were to be wounded in the back in the course of battle even when retreating, he lost his status and his honor-price ...
423. On the Length of Reigns of the Sumerian Kings [Journals] [SIS Review]
... by the Sumerians at the that time. Similarly, WB lines 11 - 12: In Bad-tibirak Enmenlu-Annak reigned 43,200 mu. ' His reign lasted a record length of 58 years, 2 months, 16 days. But even the length of this reign cannot touch the record of King Pepi II of Egypt, who, according to tradition, began at a tender age of 6 and was to last to the very end of his life at age 100, or about 94 years. A 58 year rule is short if compared with the reign of Louis XIV of France who reigned from 1643 to 1715, a famous 72 years. WB lines 13 - 14: Enmengal-Annak ...
424. The Shrine of Baal-Zephon [Journals] [Aeon]
... go, that ye may sacrifice to Yahweh Elohim in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away." (13) I shall not here review the many times that Pharaoh supposedly changed his mind- nor shall I pretend that the recorded dialogue between him and Moses is a historical verity beyond a dim recollection preserved by oral tradition to account for the course of events; but the Book of Exodus makes it quite clear that the royal court was becoming progressively apprehensive about allowing the Israelites to go on their extended pilgrimage. On one occasion Pharaoh asked: "But who are they [among you] that shall go?" (14) To which Moses replied ...
425. Incest. Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... a desirable prerequisite in the royal succession of a father by his son. This system of succession assured the royal house of perpetuation. The incestuous feature was not considered immoral; moral values, especially in the sexual life of races, clans, and classes, are to a great extent dependent on local habits, beliefs, superstitions, and traditions. In the Egyptian language the word "sister" is often substituted for the word "wife": in poems and songs sweethearts call each other "brother" and "sister." Incest between mother and son, however, was an abominable thing in the eyes of the Egyptians. The ancient world, primitive society, the ...
426. Neo-Babylonians and Achaemenids [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . According to the Neo-Assyrian lists, the next undisputed ruler of Mesopotamia after Ashurbanipal was named Nabopolasser, and the famous votive tablet of Adad-guppi, mother of king Nabonidus confirms this sequence. The latter document makes it quite clear that Nabopolasser was closely related to Ashurbanipal, almost certainly a son. Because of scholarship's more or less unquestioning adherence to traditional biblical chronology, it has always been assumed that the Neo-Assyrian kings were in fact the Imperial Assyrians of the 8th century BC., whom the Greek historians informed us had been overcome by the Medes, in alliance with the Babylonians. Thus, it was also assumed that the Babylonian king who allied himself with the Medes to overthrow Assyria ...
427. On the Idenrification of Denien with Athenians and the "Double T" in P-R-S-TT [Journals] [Kronos]
... first syllable A- of "Athenians"- I would expect to see this syllable (" smooth breathing"+ a) to be indicated by ; at the beginning of the word.(4 ) A final word on this subject: While Velikovsky wishes to be specific in equating the Dnyn with the "Athenians," the more traditional interpretation of the word as "Danaeans" = "Greeks" would not adversely affect the context of Velikovsky's argumentation at this point of Peoples of the Sea. Within the context of his reconstruction of history, Velikovsky seems to avoid the traditional interpretation because the word "Danaeans" is "Homeric" or "Archaic" (p . ...
428. The Ark in Action [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ...[1 ] Until the 17th century, "experiment (what little of it there was) belonged to natural magic, '. .. "[ 2 ] Then, three thousand years after Moses, the European-American world rediscovered electricity through experiment, that is, "natural magic." We see clearly now why the tradition that Moses was a great magician, no matter how often "rebutted" by his admirers and "advanced" theologians, persisted. He who was an experimenter was thought to be a magician. He who was a magician performed experiments. It is not surprising that Moses regarded the electrical fire as divine. Nor that Jesuit priests were ...
429. A Comprehensive Theory on Aging, Gigantism and Longevity [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... & middle Eocene 20 ft. Sea snake Crocodilia Deinosuchus Tertiary 51 ft. Gavial Saurischin Magalania Priscus Pleistocene 23 ft. Giant monitor - 11 ft. A common explanation is that these giants are the distant evolutionary antecedents of modern life forms and, because of intervening modifications of the gene pool, are not genetically equivalent to today's forms. This traditional interpretation is questioned, however, not only on the grounds of geological time, but also on the questionable specifics of recovered fossils. Indeed, two fundamental and pregnant observations can be made concerning the earth's fossil record. The first observation has already been touched upon, that gigantism occurs on all continents and with a similar order of magnitude ...
430. Untitled [Books]
... appear to have much to do with catastrophism. In this first section, I wish to analyse William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream as an example of narrative art whose subconscious bedrock is Velikovskian. On the surface, the play is a typical public comedy, seemingly light, fanciful and gay, intended mainly to amuse. A significant portion of traditional criticism has treated it in just this manner. Beneath a surface however, it is highly serious, like all of Shakespeare's comedies, in the sense that what it wants to say, or what it is about, is as meaningful and profound as the great tragedies. Indeed, some critics have argued that the comedies are more serious ...
