... the west bank of the Nile for a distance of 100 miles, and they correspond to the area of cultivation. In other words, they would be logical sites for the building of storehouses. If they were built as tombs for the Pharaohs, we would expect them to have been built over a considerable period of time, and the traditional chronology allows for just this event. The earliest pyramids are assigned to the 3rd dynasty, about BC 2686, and the last one is assigned to the 13th dynasty, about BC 1777. Nearly 900 years span the time of the pyramids. If on the other hand they were built by Joseph this chronology cannot be accepted, and ...
632. The Floods Of Deucalion And Ogyges, Part 1 Venus Ch.7 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... , was identical with the Hyksos king whose name the Egyptologists tentatively read Apop I, and who, a few decades after the invasion of Egypt by the Amu (Hyksos), laid the foundation of Thebes, the future capital of the New Kingdom in Egypt. In conformity with this assertion, I can point to the fact that Greek tradition, which does not know of any activities of King Ogyges in Attica, occasionally places the domicile of Ogyges in Egyptian Thebes, and Aeschylus calls Thebes of Egypt "the Ogygian Thebes," to differentiate it from the Greek Thebes in Boeotia. Ogyges is also credited with founding Thebes in Egypt.(30) Agog was a contemporary ...

... been fiercely, obsessively retained, as if a purely historical recollection would be unbearably painful. Although the second of the five Books of Moses, the Exodus, is the best account that we have of that year, its most ancient lines were written down under stressful circumstances; to these lines, perhaps of Moses himself, a full oral tradition was added in the course of several centuries. The materials were sometimes lost; they were copied, rewritten, amended, translated and retranslated, time and time again. A similar history befell the other Books of Moses. The basic document which we use was given its penultimate form some 2500 years ago and its study today depends largely ...
635. Aboriginal Watercolourist [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... far from Hermansberg, in fact. Some of the early Papunya Tula painters had worked with Namatjira and with the Hermansberg school of watercolour painters- which still exists and is still producing excellent paintings. However, the Papunya Tula artists did not copy or imitate European styles or forms as the Hermansberg school had done. This new Art Movement used the traditional imagery that they had always used in their ground paintings, in body decoration, and in tool and weapon decoration. What is new was that they are painting in Acrylic paints on canvas supplied by the community Art Advisors. So only the medium is new. The images were, and still are, their traditional imagery. Hence their ...
636. Ages In Chaos. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... libraries I used, but I found it in the Columbia University library; it was my first visit there. (In a few weeks we moved to the immediate neighborhood of this library, where we lived for the next twelve years.) In his book Nöldeke tells of many medieval (eighth to twelfth century) Arab authors transmitting ancient traditions about the Amalekites, who had suffered plagues in the Hejaz and left for Egypt, which they conquered without meeting resistance and over which they ruled for more than 500 years. Nöldeke did not believe the traditions, but I thought I had found the clue for which I was looking. From the Arab authors - I read them in ...
637. The Hail of Stones, Part 1 Venus Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... The wind "turns the ground upside down," large areas "crack and are thrown upwards," "all the mansions on earth" are destroyed in a catastrophe when "worlds clash with worlds."(5 ) The Mexican Annals of Cuauhtitlan describe how a cosmic catastrophe was accompanied by a hail of stones; in the oral tradition of the Indians, too, the motif is repeated time and time again: In some ancient epoch the sky "rained, not water, but fire and red-hot stones,"(6 ) which is not different from the Hebrew tradition. 1. The Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Berakhot 54b; other sources in Ginzberg, Legends, ...
... . It so happened that, while these things were revealing themselves, the discussions concerning them, which took place among the scientific world of France, were partly influenced by the writings of a man of very brilliant imagination and of great erudition. I refer to Dupuis, according to whose views an almost fabulous antiquity might be assigned to ancient traditions in general and astronomical traditions in particular. It is needless to say, however, that there were others- to take the extreme opposite view- who held the opinion that his imagination had run away with his learning. With all this new work before them, and with a genius like Champollion's among them, it was not long ...

... as such a power diametrically opposed to Chaos." (29) From the very spot of the Hebrew temple "the first ray of light issued and illuminated the whole world." Indeed, the temple was the "whole world," according to a Midrash: "The temple corresponds to the whole world." (30) Tradition states that the primordial light was "not identical with the light of the sun, moon and stars," but lit up the temple from its centre and radiated out through the windows. (31) The cosmic temple, in other words, was the lost land of the "dawn" or first "sunrise." Temple ...
640. Conclusion [Books]
... mirror a special quality of the "winged" creator, or the "winged" goddess. The same principle applies to the symbolism of the constellations. The vital powers depicted by constellation figures date back to an era long before men began imposing anthropomorphic and zoomorphic forms on star groups. But eventually the ancients sought to represent diverse aspects and traditions of the great god by sketching them out in the heavens. Could a patternless group of stars have inspired the history of mighty Orion? Rather, the story of Orion preceded astrology. (In fact, Orion is widely acknowledged to be the Greek version of the Babylonian Tammuz-Ninurta, the planet Saturn) And when priest-astronomers finally projected Orion ...
