... of specialist journals as well as a succession of books. As Livio C. Stecchini points out,(2 ) it is thanks to Kugler that we are able to speak of the "Venus Tablets of Ammizaduga", he being the first to identify the reign during which the observations may have been made. Kugler did not confine his writing to the one area, but found the fruits of his researches useful across a wide field. Early in his career he took up the cudgels against the Berlin Assyriologist Delitzsch, who had suggested that the Biblical account of the Creation and other events in Genesis had been taken over from Assyrian mythology. Rebutting this to his satisfaction produced two ...
232. The Genesis of Israel and Egypt [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the more primitive wooden constructions from which this style of architecture was no doubt derived, and .. . the earliest Mesopotamian examples in brick are considerably older than the first mastabas of the Naqada form found in Egypt, where they appear quite suddenly at the beginning of the First Dynasty .. . ' [6 ]. In terms of writing, the Sumerian and Egyptian hieroglyphic scripts showed certain affinities'. Nevertheless, the differences between the two are too significant to be disregarded', and it is probably correct to assess the Sumerian contribution to the Egyptian science of writing as mainly suggestive and limited to imparting a knowledge of the underlying principles. ' [7 ]. Scholars ...
233. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Pole Star [Books]
... Pillars thereof tremble. Which alone stretcheth out the Heavens, and treadeth upon the High Places of the Ocean. Which maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,3and the chambers of the South. (Job ix, 5 ; xxxvii, 18.) He is the infinite Ptah and Kabes 4he createth all works therein; all writing, all sacred words, all his implements in the North.5 THIS subject, towards which we have been working our way throughout this Volume, of which it forms the closing section, will most conveniently be opened by some proofs that the Most High, the deity symbolically worshipped on High Places, was the God of the Polestar ...
234. Imaginary Worlds: The Debate Heats Up [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:5 (Jan 2000) Home | Issue Contents Imaginary Worlds: The Debate Heats Up Alasdair Beal, from Leeds, West Yorks, England, writes: Charting Imaginary Worlds? As someone who has been interested for many years by the old maps featured in Charles Hapgood's classic Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, I turned to Sean Mewhinney's critique [2 ] with great interest. Would he expose them as modern fakes, lucky guesses, or perhaps even figments of Hapgood's imagination? Sadly, the article proved a great disappointment. Much of it is not even about Hapgood's maps. First it treats us to two pages about Arlington Mallery, followed by ...
235. A Tale Of Two Venuses [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... I suggest this be investigated." 2 Bauer, however, challenges Velikovsky's prediction with the following: "Yet by 1962 the consensus was that the surface temperature . . . . was about 1,000 F, not so different from that of Venus described by Velikovsky as hot."3 Bauer, as a point against Velikovsky, writes of a "consensus" as if this proves anything. Bauer then goes on: "Moreover, this very temperature had been estimated on the basis of the intensity and type of radio signals observed. Further, `in 1950 I'd have interpreted Velikovsky's prediction as claiming thermal radiation spectrum'4 Here Bauer reports that someone at the Philadelphia Science Association ...
236. Velikovsky and the Problem of Planetary Identification [Journals] [Aeon]
... third century B.C .E .) to the effect that Osiris is Venus, that Set is Mercury, that Hathor is the Moon, and that Horus is either Jupiter, Saturn, or Mars. (10) Certainly it would be difficult to construct a convincing theory of planetary history out of this mess. The earliest Egyptian writings, the Pyramid Texts and Coffin Texts, although explicitly celestial in nature, are equally equivocable. References to the "sun" and the "morning star" abound, but in those pre-astronomical times what assurance do we have that such terms described the same celestial bodies as at present? The Egyptologists, of course, would reply that ...
237. The Charisma of Moses [Books] [de Grazia books]
... as or instead of Baal and certainly hated Moses, while Moses and Yahweh did not even try to divide and transform their ambivalence toward the people. The love that is behind Jesus' feeling of atonement for the sins of humanity is not present in Moses and therefore the doctrine itself is largely absent. But Daiches goes too far when he writes that "the concept of vicarious atonement was quite foreign to Mosaic thought."[17] He adds, rightly, that Moses was a "mediator and intercessor" and that sins were forgiven even of all Israel for the sake of their great ancestors. (This latter atonement in reverse being also a way of getting them to ...
238. Myths of the Cataclysm Caused by the Breakdown of a Former Satellite (The Book of Revelation is History) [Books]
... The First Cycle of Myths THE FIRST MYTH (Rev. i. 10-20) (i . 10)1 was in the spirit on the Lord's Day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, (11) Saying; I am Alpha and Omega ,the first and last: and what thou seest, write in a book .. . (12) And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned I saw seven gold candlesticks; (13) And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man clothed with a garment down to the foot and girt. . . with a ...
239. The Foibles of Heretics [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . It would certainly be appropriate, within every scientific work and in a discussion of it, to confess its weakness, to argue its null-hypotheses. We are bound to do a poor job of attacking ourselves. And, of course, disputation may overburden issues to the harm of clear presentation of the theses. Nevertheless, Deg, in writing Chaos and Creation, was anxious enough about excessive positive argumentation to give over a chapter to the Devil's Advocate. In one sense, the cosmic heretics in the Velikovsky case were a conservative group, asking for law and order in science, demanding even that the letter of the law be followed, all the more because their substantive ideas ...
240. The Cosmology Of Tawantinsuyu [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. IX No. 2 (Winter 1984) Home | Issue Contents The Cosmology Of Tawantinsuyu Jan N. Sammer See also Note (1 ). The traditional view of Inca religion was built chiefly on the writings of Garcilaso de la Vega, Bartolome de las Casas, and Pedro Cieza de Leon. In the Commentarios Reales of the hispanicized Inca nobleman, Garcilaso de la Vega, the cult of the Sun is portrayed as supreme. The chief temple in Cuzco, the Coricancha, is said to have been dedicated to the Sun (II.9 ) with similar Sun-temples scattered throughout the provinces; the Inca rulers allegedly prided themselves on being descended from ...
