... much to Judaism, as to Moses as a verified expert and predictor. This came later with the breaking down of the hard heart of Pharaoh. Most commentators on the Exodus and indeed most careful readers of the Bible are baffled by a large problem. It has incited theologians and philosophers to perform remarkable feats of rationalization ever since the mosaic tradition came to be reassembled and committed to writing 3000 years ago. Why did Yahweh, time after time, harden the Pharaoh's heart? Why did Yahweh predict repeatedly, beginning with his first appearance at the Burning Bush, that Pharaoh would not let the Hebrews go, and that he, Yahweh, would not let the Pharaoh let the ...
502. Poles Uprooted, Part 2 Mars Ch.7 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... does not admit, or even consider, the possibility that at some historical time east and west as well as south and north were reversed. Consequently, the first chart could not have been interpreted at all. The other chart, with its displ aced constellations, suggested to the author of the above quotation that it depicted some more ancient tradition. The only change, according to modern astronomy, comes from the precession of the equinoxes or the slow movement of the polar axis which descr ibes a circle in the course of about twenty-six thousand years. The computation of the precession is insufficient by far to explain the position of the constellations on the chart if we rely on the ...
503. Cosmos & Chronos Symposium report [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... after the New Kingdom (one complete Sothic period later than usually accepted.) Astronomical evidence: Luft's El-Lahun papyri, discovered in the 1890's, now in former East Germany. Among these documents were 36 papyri that contain both dates and astronomical configurations that are usuable for retrocalculations. Of those 36, 18 have dates and configurations which match the traditionally accepted dating in the 19th century B.C . Rose's revised dating has a much better record 34 of the date/configurations have exact matches in the 4th century B.C . Of the two which don't match, one of the "misses" (off by one day) could easily have been due to cloudy weather conditions ...
... hosts. That our surmise is not improbable is also borne out by the fact that the child, who is introduced with such mysterious importance, is dropped again at once and never mentioned or alluded to again anywhere in the succeeding myths. Unless the material of the fifteenth myth is viewed as a not very needfully introduced echo of an all-but-lost tradition of what happened to a pregnant woman at the time of the great cataclysm, it remains a passage crowded with the most puzzling enigmas, questions, and problems, which absolutely and utterly defy explanation. THE SIXTEENTH MYTH (Rev. xiii. 1-10) (xiii. 1) And I stood upon the sand of the sea, ...
505. When The Comet Fell Ch.11 (The Riddle of the Earth) [Books]
... WITH DRIFT AGE 180A. If the coalfields of the North are studied it will be seen that they are almost entirely limited to the area smitten in the manner indicated. The regions that suffered the worst, such as the Clyde, South Wales, Somerset, Northumberland and the Midlands, produce the best coal, especially South Wales, known traditionally as the Celtic Hades. Scotland, it is true, felt the awful effects still more, but if coal is comparatively rare north of the Clyde it is because the mountainous and rocky soil was not conducive to the growth of the forest trees whose petrified remains in the more alluvial lands of the south we now burn in our ships ...
506. Ancient History Revisions: the Last 25 years - a Perspective [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , Eratosthenes, head of the great library of Alexandria some decades after Manetho, led the group in favour of a date c. 1200-1150BC. His date, derived from calculations by Ctesias and Manetho's Egyptian king-lists, was 1193-1183BC. Against this, some Greek ruling families could trace their genealogies back to ancestors who had fought at Troy and Greek tradition claimed the war ended not more than three generations before the start of the first Olympic Games in 776BC. Today this genealogical evidence is ignored and dogma has embraced the 12th century date. Controversy also surrounded the foundation dates for Rome and Carthage and the antiquity of the Jewish people. In defence of Apion's claim that the Jews were a ...
507. Theophany, Part 1 Venus Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Japan, 3,000 miles away, the farthest distance travelled by sound recorded in modern annals.(2 ) In the days of the Exodus, when the world was shaken and rocked, and all volcanoes vomited lava and all continents quaked, the earth groaned almost unceasingly. At an initial stage of the catastrophe, according to Hebrew tradition, Moses heard in the silence of the desert the sound which he interpreted to mean, "I am that I am.(3 ) "I am Yahweh," heard the people on the frightful night at the Mountain of the Lawgiving.(4 ) "The whole mount quaked greatly" and "the voice of the ...
508. Velikovsky and Racial Memory [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon III:3 (Oct 1993) Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky and Racial Memory Duane Vorhees 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. (1 ) 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 argument was secondary ...
509. The Opening of The Mouth Ritual - Part II [Journals] [Aeon]
... Every Egyptian had a Ren, a true name that was part vital, part magical, and it was theirs throughout life and the afterlife. A famous tale is one in which Isis tricks Ra into divulging his true name, which leaves his body for hers, and by doing so gives Isis much of his power. [18] Traditionally, naming ceremonies were secret affairs in Egypt and "a child lived his whole life with a nickname to avoid anyone from learning his true name!" [19] The hieroglyph of Ren is simplicity itself, the sign for "mouth" over that of "water." Devoid of context it can be read as either " ...

... liquid, would sink into the pores of the sand and into clefts between the rocks; falling on water, it would remain floating if the fire in the air is extinguished before new supplies of oxygen arrive from other regions. The descent of a sticky fluid which came earthward and blazed with heavy smoke is recalled in the oral and written traditions of the inhabitants of both hemispheres. Popol-Vuh, the sacred book of the Mayas, narrates:(2 ) "It was ruin and destruction . . . the sea was piled up . . . it was a great inundation . . . people were drowned in a sticky substance raining from the sky. . . . The face ...
