... and the Great Flood is lacking. Such a closing scene doubtless existed in the original myth which our author used, but was eliminated in order to allow a better connection with the second myth. In the two final chapters of Revelation, xxi and xxii, we find a description of the New Age; but to which of the two traditions it originally belonged we cannot now decide. IV. ANOTHER VERSION OF THE GREAT UNIVERSAL CATASTROPHE (REVELATION XIII- XVI, XIX- XX; AND XXI- XXII) THE MYTH (cont.) AND ITS MEANING (cont.) (xiii. 1) And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up ...
622. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of iron and bronze - the Hebrew word translated as iron' probably should be bronze' - barzel. The discussion continued about the type of pottery associated with the Philistines and the Mycenaeans, then reverted to the dating of the end of the Bronze Age, the question of which age Ramesses II belonged to and then the reliability of oral tradition and the historicity of king lists. After comparing the chronology of Velikovsky, Heinsohn and Rohl, Emmett said Shalmaneser III could not have been Burnaburiash. Margaret Grant thought Shalmaneser I and III have been confused. Emmett said that if the 19th dynasty immediately followed the 18th, then Ramesses II and Seti I should be contemporary with the so-called ...
623. Homo Schizo Meets God [Books] [de Grazia books]
... when the placenta is largest, the placenta manufactures a large amount of blood ceruloplasmin. 1. Ceruloplasmin alleviates many cases of schizophrenia 2. Women with schizophrenia are alleviated towards end of pregnancy 3. Relapses and initiation into schizophrenia may occur following pregnancy, i.e . post-natal schizophrenia is common. 4. Schizophrenia is split personality' disease traditionally, although Hoffer and Osmond deny this definition, saying there are not two persons, despite hallucinations and feelings of persecution. They are in a major sense right. 5. The correspondence of high C production with the period at which a woman faces the traumatic need to split her baby from herself makes me think that the body protects ...
624. The Sunken Kingdom: The Atlantis Mystery Solved by Peter J. James [Journals] [Aeon]
... down-dating of ancient chronology, it is perhaps only natural that James would attempt to understand Plato's account as history. Taking his cue from ancient reports that a fabled city associated with the reign of Tantalus became submerged during an earthquake and flood, James deduced that this city- Tantalis- was the prototype for Plato's Atlantis. Inasmuch as Tantalus was traditionally linked with the region around Mount Sipylus in Magnesia, James would thus trace the Atlantis legend to the local history of Lydia (modern Turkey) during the late Bronze Age (c . 1400 BC). James concludes that "it seems that Pausanias may not have been repeating just an old wives' tale when he talked about the ...
625. Thoth Vol III, No. 2: Jan 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the Earth, the Babylon reports become easier to understand. And the same is true with regards to the presence of Martian meteorites upon terrestrial landscape. Is there any ancient testimony associating Mars with meteorites, or with the hurling of stones from heaven? Indeed there is, and it is quite compelling. The most extensive analysis of the ancient traditions surrounding meteorites is that of Judith Bjorkman. Bjorkman showed that the ancient Babylonians, among others, held surprisingly sophisticated views about the nature of meteorites. Bjorkman summarized her findings as follows: "The texts show that the peoples of the ancient Near East knew of and were able to describe shooting stars, meteors, fireballs, meteor showers ...
626. On The Lecture Circuit [Journals] [Pensee]
... until recently, the scientist has lost track of his role in society and is no longer encouraged by his teachers to develop methods that would enable us to increase "meaningful" interaction with our faculty, and the students we teach. Beyond that we hope to rediscover what scientific inquiry is really all about. "For chemistry students, who traditionally are not involved in cosmology and the history of civilization, it seemed that research in these areas was unrelated and certainly outside of the domain of the chemist. After reading your books, we found that your ideas add a dynamic dimension to these areas that we did not know existed. Your work has shown us that engineers and scholars ...
627. Pot Pourri [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in which case, relevant background may prove useful. The homeland of the Ojibwa [ 'Chippewa'] [2 ] is given as the Great Lakes region but during the Ice Age this area was under the ice. The Ojibwa form a large proportion of the Algonquian language group, one of the largest pre-Conquest North American groups. Native traditions are that the Algonquians migrated eastwards, accompanied by the Iroquoians, at an indeterminate early date. The accepted paradigm, previously unverifiable [3 ], is of an anticlockwise migration from the direction of the Mississippi, the leaders in the migration changing as the Delawares (Lenape) were dropped off south of the Lakes, then the Ojibwas ...
628. The Chaldeans of Sumer [Journals] [Aeon]
... , and the Babel of tongues-all had Mesopotamian antecedents; except that, instead of antecedents, one should now read "successors." In literary terms, it is certainly easier to grasp that the simple, austere Genesis accounts should serve as a prototype for more elaborate cultural variations, rather than the other way around. Even within the Jewish tradition, the elaboration of Midrashic legend on the "bare bones" of the Hebrew Biblical texts provide a case in point, as do the accretions of Church legend around the early accounts of the Gospels and Acts. "There are also stylistic antecedents for the Book of Proverbs in Sumerian collections of sayings, maxims, and adages. Even ...
629. The Evolution of the Cosmogonic Egg [Journals] [Aeon]
... pneuma- that is the soul- wound itself around the egg like a serpent. (84) In fact, even in Orphic theogony, the Chronos who produced the cosmic egg was described as a serpent. (85) Chronos, of course, was not Venus but the superimposition of the planets on each other gave rise to varying traditions concerning which deity was really responsible for the fashioning of the egg. The Dogon cosmic egg- i.e ., Digitaria- was also said to have undergone a similar evolution: To start with, [the egg] was just a seed...called euphemistically kize uzi, the little thing', consisting of a ...
630. Herodotus on Thutmoses III and Amenophis III [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... known to the Greeks and Romans as Scythians and Thracians. Sesostris then reached the countries of the Hittites and the Hurrians. It is significant to learn that Thutmoses III received tribute from the Hittites9 and entered Mitannian (i .e . Hurrian) territory.10 Another argument against an identification of the Herodotean Sesostris with Senwosret is only valid in traditional chronology. The Hyksos are credited with the introduction of the horse into Egypt. But in the story of Sesostris we read:11 . . . thereby depriving Egypt . . . of the horses and carriages which were formerly in such common use throughout the country. Clearly, in the traditional view, "Sesostris" lived after the ...
