... but that adopted here [Pwene] is also conjectural."(5 ) Gardiner was also well aware of a potential negative reaction on the part of his colleagues to this phonological change. "One innovation which I have allowed myself will probably not find general favour: it being certain that the feminine ending -et, though shown in the writing, had disappeared from pronunciation as early as the Old Kingdom, Hebrew and Arabic presenting a like phenomenon, I have replaced the usual Punt', Wawat', and Hatshepsut' by Pwene', Wawae', and Hashepsowe'."(6 ) Be that as it may, the phonetic values conveyed by these new renderings ...
302. Catastrophism and the Mammoths - I (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... the evolution of Pogo's thinking which was described by O. Neugebauer and R. A. Parker in Egyptian Astronomical Texts Vol. III (Providence, RI: 1969). At McMaster in 1974, J. W. Warwick reported on his examination of Velikovsky's use of Senmut's ceiling, stating, in part, that "Velikovsky did not write with a knowledge of the verbal and mathematical distinctions required to draw upon the data of Senmut's tomb for verification of whether the Earth's axis had overturned in fact" and, further, that Velikovsky's discussion includes a description which "is completely opposite what the pictures appearing in Pogo's article exhibit". Regarding resonances, Cardona attempts to show that ...
303. Sagan's fifth problem: Chemistry & biology of the terrestrial planets (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... with-perhaps coated by-complex organic compounds... One possible explanation is a large proportion of complex organic molecules (or just plain carbon) in the cometary nucleus which are involatile or which do not produce accessible spectral features. If this interpretation is correct, comets might be as much as 10 percent organic."11 In Earthlike Planets, Sagan writes on the back cover, "This book is an important one and provides the first serious glimpse in any book that I know of the emerging science of comparative planetology." On page 10 of this book we read, "Such trans jovian' objects have long been inferred to be the source of comets, which are known to ...
304. Myth and the Origin of Religion [Journals] [Pensee]
... what the gods or the semidivine beings did at the beginning of time" (5 ). His approach is basically that of Boas, but with Eliade's scholarly knowledge the definition verges on a commandment from Sinai. It is when we turn to his specific interpretation of myths that we are made uneasy. "In New Guinea," he writes, "a great many myths tell of long sea voyages thus providing exemplars for the modern voyagers' " (6 ). But Hawaiians and many other Pacific peoples did undertake long sea voyages and were as much at home on a boundless ocean as they were on any island. The New Guinea myths, if anything, are a ...
305. Herakles and Velikovskian Catastrophism [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Sousirniré Khian. If we are right, we have met Herakles in an Egyptian source! It is certainly not strange to identify Busiris with a Hyksos king. Velikovsky taught us many characteristics of the Hyksos, especially the way they treated their enemies. Human sacrifice of strangers would clearly corroborate what we already know of them. Besides, Herodotus7 writes: One of the silliest [accounts] is the story of how Heracles came to Egypt and was taken away by the Egyptians to be sacrificed to Zeus. .. . For me at least such a tale is proof enough that the Greeks know nothing whatever about Egyptian character and custom. The Egyptians are forbidden by their religion even ...
306. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Like other catastrophists, myself included, Patten relies heavily on the identification of the ancient deities as personifications of the planets. But seeing as, in his case, only Mars ever interacted closely with the Earth, most of these deities are reduced to a single personification. As far as Patten is concerned, Mars is represented in Biblical writings by such figures as Baal; the angel of the Lord (when not the Lord himself); the cherub (although which cherub is never specified); the pillar of fire of Exodus fame; Leviathan; Arcturus (by which he really means Aish); Mazzaroth; Sisera's fighting star (despite the fact that, in the ...
307. A God by any other name: the Dead Sea Scrolls Deception by Michael Baigent & Richard Leigh [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Dead Sea Scrolls (Workshop 1992:1 , p. 43) concluded that the discussion times after lectures did much to counter accusations in recent years that publication of the scrolls, and translations of them, were being deliberately and unjustifiably delayed by parties with their own unscholarly interests to protect'. Baigent and Leigh, of course, are writing from the angle of just such accusations and if only half of what they write is true then it appears that all has certainly not been completely above board. The authors' research is painstaking, starting with a detailed history of the discovery of the scrolls and charting their progress among the various people delegated to work on them. What ...
308. Saint Cuthbert [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the 7th century. It is assumed that an early anonymous Life of Cuthbert had appeared around 700. However, not a shred of this text was ever found. None of the copies made of this text has left a single shred either. Nevertheless, nearly everybody has full confidence that Bede used this earlier account of Cuthbert's life to write a verse version around 716 and a prose version in 721. Nobody knows when Cuthbert (a Northumberlander like Bede) was born in Channelkirk. The preferred date is 634. Of more interest is his death because major miracles only occur after that decisive event. The date is marvellously precise. He died on March 20, 687. ...
309. The Celestial Whirlpool Lake [Books]
... The constellation of the "Great Bear" (Ura Major), known widely in America as "The Dipper", has a significant connexion with the seasons. In China it is called the "Bushel" and its "tail" is the "Pointer". The "tail" was so named, as we gather from Chinese writings, because when it first appears of an evening, it points to the east in spring, to the south in summer, to the west in autumn and to the north in winter. In the Shu King (Part II, Book 1) the "Bushel" is referred to as "the pearl-adorned turning sphere with its transverse ...
310. Egyptian Language Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... names: Old Egyptian (First-Eighth Dynasties, c. 3100-2160 BC), Middle Egyptian (Ninth - Mid-Eighteenth Dynasties, c. 2160-1380 BC) and Late Egyptian (Mid-Eighteenth - Twenty-fourth Dynasties, c. 1380-715 BC). It was the second of these phases, Middle Egyptian, which the Egyptians themselves regarded as the classical phase, the writings of which served as models in schools in later times; it was also Middle Egyptian which the scribes of the Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth Dynasties (c . 747-525 BC) adopted in their literary compositions. Late Egyptian became common in documents of the Amarna Period, apparently owing to a deliberate attempt by Akhenaten to break away from the traditional literary ...
