... goddess, nor having any power in her own right over men or nature. It is true that she took the title "Queen of Heaven" from Anat, but Anat and Mary in no way resemble each other, and in fact, Anat resembles the Archangel Michael much more closely in mythological terms. The Sword of God Mars is traditionally the warrior planet, and Velikovsky deals with the subject in depth, just as he deals with that planet's connection with rodents, wolves and other creatures. One shape the planet adopts is the days of Isaiah is that of a sword. And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved .. . For My sword shall be bathed ...
652. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Workshop 5:1 by K. A. Le Flem, David Rohl and Peter van der Veen about the confused period of Egyptian history at the end of the Nineteenth Dynasty, involving Sethos II, Siptah, Amenmesse and Tawosret. In discussion, David Rohl argued strongly in favour of making use of, and subjecting to critical scrutiny, traditional accounts of Egyptian history preserved in later sources, such as Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus, Manetho and Josephus. There appeared to be a hard core of historical fact underlying such stories as those of Amenophis and Osarsiph (fragment 54 of Manetho) and of Sethosis (or Sethos, also called Ramesses) and Harrnais. His own view was ...
653. A Brief Response to Marvin Luckerman [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the Late Bronze Age exclusively covers the period of Judges and the United Monarchy and early Divided Kingdom. I agree that they do so, but I believe that the Iron Age also covers these periods. For example, the late Dr. Aharoni wrote in the Biblical Archaeologist, "We therefore arrive at a most startling conclusion: the Biblical traditions associated with the Negeb battles cannot represent the historical sources from the days of Moses and Joshua, since nowhere in the Negeb are there any remains of the Late Bronze Age. However, the reality described in the Bible corresponds exactly to the situation in the Middle Bronze Age, when two tels, and two tels only, defended the ...
654. Another Look at Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Jehoshaphat's reign. Likewise, Velikovsky's re-identifications of well known and amply demonstrated place names does not endear him to scholars: he is at pains to see Kadesh as Jerusalem (citing a late Arabic name, El Kuds, for the city). In Ramesses II and His Times, however, this Kadesh becomes Carchemish. Velikovsky says that the traditional site of Kadesh on the Orontes is unexcavated and not Kadesh: he is absolutely wrong on both counts. The site is currently being excavated and two newly discovered cuneiform texts found there are addressed to the King of Kadesh (Peter James, SIS Review, Autumn, 1978,49). If one suggests that Velikovsky could not have ...
655. Exploring Exodus (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... "abandoned hero" in the ancient world are excellent. His treatment of the "Hebrews = Hapiru" question is also commendable in its restraint. He concludes that the Hebrews and the Hapiru are not the same people, and that, pending further evidence, no connection should be made. Finally, his discussion of Ancient Near East legal traditions and social reform is basically sound, [5 ] although one minor factual error should be noted: the law reforms usually ascribed to Ur-Nammu should be credited to Shulgi. [6 ] The book ends abruptly, short of providing information that- while not crucial- would have fully rounded out the topic. For example, the reader ...
656. A Critic in the Desert [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . This belief is a form of hidden fundamentalism. Occasionally, a plain fundamentalistic argument is turned by Stiebing into an apparently non-fundamentalistic one merely by switching the place of its components. Consider, for example, the following fundamentalistic claim: If the biblical accounts seem to fit quite well with the archaeological finds, it might be claimed that the traditional view of the archaeological accounts as science is probably legitimate. On the other hand if the biblical narratives do not correlate well with the archaeological evidence, it is probable that this evidence is not scientifically accurate. By switching the places of the terms "bible" and "archaeology", the same argument will acquire the following form: ...
657. What is Uniformitarianism and how did it get here? [Journals] [Horus]
... Incidents of popular unrest led the (monarchist) government to enact laws curtailing certain rights. Free speech was one of them. There were those who smelled revolution in the air, but the liberal middle class could still remember the ravages of the French Revolution. That's not what they wanted. What they wanted was reform in Parliament, but traditional theological doctrine stood in the way. Paley's Natural Theology claimed that sovereignty descended from God to the King; if he was satisfied with it, there was no need to reform it. Paley's doctrine was required study in the universities, and was the received wisdom in society. There was only one way to reform Parliament, and that ...
658. The Ching Hsing [Journals] [Horus]
... imply that the same or similar association can be found in the story of the Three Wise Men from the East? We shall leave a thorough examination of this question for another time though, for now, we may assure the reader that such association abound in the literature regarding the Star of Bethlehem. To conclude our survey of ancient Chinese traditions regarding Venus and the Ching Hsing phenomenon, let us give a second thought to the other strange things that were expected to accompany a Ching Hsing - wine-sweet springs, purple herbs, phoenixes or dragons in the heavens, and so on. These seem at first glance to be so unrelated to anything natural that we tend to dismiss them ...
659. Investigating the Mound-Builders' Astronomy [Journals] [Horus]
... from ancient Babylon and China where it is known that astronomical measurement already had reached a high degree of sophistication. If the culture which placed the tablet in the Grave Creek Mound is related to the same culture that recorded the European astrological formulae, we could expect with additional confidence that measured astronomical alignments were an important aspect of the Grave Creek traditions. As an initial exploration into this question, since it was the time of the summer solstice, I set out first to see if any of the Lookouts marked on the map seemed to fit this alignment. Immediately, it became apparent that the Schoolcraft map had not been surveyed accurately, so the alignments shown between the lookouts did ...
660. The ISCBM Newark Earthworks Conference [Journals] [Horus]
... known from ancient practices in Northern Europe. Other fascinating finds involved artifacts inscribed in ancient Old World languages, foreign to the American Indian, and some of which were tongues long dead before the time of Columbus. Just how these and other "impossible" examples of pre-Columbian diffusion arrived on this continent has no satisfactory answer within the framework of traditional academic thought [see "A Conversation with Barry Fell," HORUS, II:1 , 1985]. Aside from the grudging acceptance of relatively late visits by the Vikings and the faint glimmer that Irish monks may once have made landfall, the evidence that New and Old World contacts may reach back well into pre-Christian times generally is ...
