... is unwise to quote the forms Arsatis, Arshu, Arsa and Arsu side by side as names of the Persian king without any consideration of what is typical or atypical in Greek, Aramaic and Egyptian renderings of Persian Names, especially with regard to the vocalisation and the sibilant (s versus sh). It is to be granted that the writings of foreign names in ancient languages are a rather great problem, but the problem should be solved, not exploited. Persians and Greeks Invade Egypt pp. 29-35: The argument for identifying the headgear of the Prst and the Persians is a very strong one. A sceptic might make this counter argument: that if the Prst were Aryans ...
... Chapter III The Astroxomical Basis of the Egyptiax Pantheon IT will be abundantly clear from the statements made in the foregoing chapter that, as I have said, the main source of information touching things Egyptian consists no longer in writings like the Vedas, but in the inscriptions on the monuments, and the monuments themselves. It is true that, in addition to the monuments, we have the Book of the Dead, and certain records found in tombs; but, in the main, the source of information which has been most largely drawn upon consists in the monuments themselves- the zodiacs being included in that term. It has been impossible, up to the present time, ...
243. Heretics, Dogmatists and Science's Reception of New Ideas (Part 2) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Crimson's is one of the first, if not the first, reviews of SCV that appeared.(76) Its 1,250 words hardly reflect the fact that the Crimson was provided with extensive background material by one of Velikovsky's stauncher supporters, Edward Langenbach, who is a Cambridge attorney and Harvard Law alumnus. Langenbach lobbied the Crimson to write a fair article on Velikovsky before SCV came out, even to the extent of replacing the background material twice when it was lost or misplaced during changes in editors. He had hoped that a writer armed with Pensée IVR VII, the correspondence between Velikovsky and Cornell University Press and other pro-Velikovsky material would not be totally overtaken by Sagan's seduction ...
244. Paradise And Disaster In T. S. Eliot'S "four Quartets" [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... is unambiguously Biblical. Krishna is Hindu and Mars pre-Christian. The Sun and Moon are astral. The river, "a strong brown god," could come from any nature-worshiping tradition. And even the Queen of Heaven could as well represent Ishtar or Venus as Mary, the mother of Jesus. While considering the element of paradox in Eliot's writings, we should note that the keynote quotation with which he introduces his Quartets is the Heraclitean motto, "The way up and the way down are the same." Throughout the poem, he juxtaposes opposites-especially heat and cold, melting and freezing, fire and ice. "The communication of the dead," he writes, " ...
245. Velikovsky, Solomon, strata [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... is in dispute because according to Velikovsky his archaeological strata is displaced by 5 ½ centuries further in time making the strata assigned to him lacking of any artifact at all that could be intelligently connected to his reign. Clark Whelton wrote: Did V. say that? I wasn't aware of it. Where did he say it? James Conway writes: A quick look did not help me to find words in that phrase. But it follows from V's conclusions that the Queen of Sheba is Hatsheput. As another wrote Solomon has always been assigned to the tenth century BCE. It is Velikovsky's contention that Hatsheput's strata assigned to the 15th century BCE is actually 10th which is where Solomon's ...
246. When Was The iliad Created?, Part 2 Mars Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... pantheon "not more than 400 years before me," which would mean not prior to -884, -484 being regarded as the year of Herodotus' birth. The question is still debated. Some authors argue that there was a long interval between the time when the epic works of Homer were composed and the time when they were put into writing; others think that these works must have been created not long before the Greeks2 acquired the art of writing, about -700. It is also argued that the Greeks must have known this art long before -700 on the assumption that the Homeric works were created much before that date. It is generally assumed that the fall of Troy antedated ...
247. I Am One Of Those Who Participated". File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... very powerful group, these buyers of textbooks have become. Sokolsky's column was so widely syndicated that clippings came almost by the bushel. Later in the month he devoted another column to the subject. He had received a letter from Paul Herget, professor at the University of Cincinnati and director of its observatory. Herget took issue with Sokolsky for writing on the suppression and for admitting in his (first) article that he had not read the book. Herget's first paragraph, reprinted by Sokolsky, reads: This is not a reflection on columnists, but on frauds: you and Velikovsky. You are certainly a fraud, writing such a long column on something you have not read ...
248. Independent Confirmation of a Catastrophic Event [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2005 (Sep 2005) Home | Issue Contents Focus Independent Confirmation of a Catastrophic Event Moe Mandelkehr A consideration of Professor R. N. Iyengar's Profile of a Natural Disaster in Ancient Sanskrit Literature' It is very important for a writer when they find confirmation of their ideas in the completely independent writing of another author. In a popular series of papers in SIS publications, Moe Mandelkehr has argued that a catastrophic event occurred in approximately 2300 BC, caused by the encounter of the Earth with a dense meteoroid stream. He was naturally justifiably excited when he found an article by R. N. Iyengar, Professor of Civil Engineering at the ...
249. Sunk Without Trace? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from the coastal city of Smyrna (the modern Izmir). Pausanias, a native of Magnesia, wrote in the second century AD that a city near Mount Sipylus had once been destroyed by an earthquake, setting in motion events which flooded the ruins and created Lake Saloe. Pausanias did not name the city but it is clear from the writings of Pliny that Tantalis was believed to lie under that particular body of water. A lake marked on a late nineteenth century map of the region by Georges Perrot and Charles Chipiez was independently identified as Saloe by Sir William Ramsay and James Frazer. It has since been drained but other features described by Pausanias can still be recognised. These ...
250. The Founding of Rome [Books] [de Grazia books]
... period of over 400 years of accepted chronology around the Mediterranean world did not exist and should be stricken from the record. These are the so-called Dark Ages of Greece, which were placed in the historical record in the first place to correspond with four hundred years of Egyptian chronology that were also non existent. "The Aegean prehistorians", writes J. Cadogan, "have no choice but to adapt themselves to the Egyptologists"[1 ]. This may seem still to be true to most ancient historians, but a generation ago Velikovsky, in his book Ages in Chaos, knocked out the Egyptian centuries at issue and, following his cues respecting the Greek Dark Ages, ...
