... H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 18 The Literature of the Bible The literature of the Bible offers a great problem to the mythologist. The Bible is a unique Book consisting of various matter from various ages and various nations in various stages of their development. It represents a fair though entirely arbitrary selection of writings which are neither historical nor mythological in any strict sense. The Jewish religious beliefs have gone through a very peculiar process of sublimation in the course of which a divine glamour was thrown over all the hard facts', till faith developed out of a religion of experience a religion of revelation. This necessitated frequent re-editing of the holy traditions ...
... still maintain an early date." THE HYKSOS The Hyksos have only briefly been mentioned before, so a reasonable question is who were the Hyksos? This question is also of some concern to historians14 and is discussed in detail by Velikovsky in Chapter 11 of Ages in Chaos. Again many of the clues to this identification are found in the writings of people who quoted the Egyptian priest Manetho whose work is no longer extant. Scholars disagree as to the origin of the Hyksos. There appears to be little information available about them. They left no artistic or literary works, and few references, by Egyptians, exist concerning Hyksos rule. According to some ancient sources (Manetho, ...
... Tenth almost nothing is known. 4. The Middle Kingdom, comprising the Eleventh, Twelfth, and Thirteenth Dynasties: feudal Egypt was united under the Twelfth Dynasty, and Egyptian literature reached a height never again to be attained. 5. Another period of chaos, exploited by certain invaders known as Amu in Egyptian and called Hyksos by authors writing in Greek.1 The Hyksos kings were pharaohs of the Fourteenth to the Seventeenth Dynasties and they ruled over Egypt without mercy;2 it is not know of what race they were. 1: The name Hyksos as"rulers of foreign countries" is found in the Egyptian text of the Turino Papyrus and on a few scarabs. ...
444. Seti's Foreign Connections [Journals] [Kronos]
... put forth the theory that water is the substance of all things, he made a false generalization. " - The Rise of Scientific Philosophy by Hans Reichenbach (page 11). MODERN VERSUS ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY Even as late as the Nineteenth Century, it was not regarded as disgraceful for philosophers to present both logical methodology and substantive world-views in their writings. It is a curiosity of our times that the most influential of the philosophers professing interest in science should be dedicated to reducing philosophy to language analysis in which substantive, physically significant statements are prohibited. A principal cause of difficulties in modern philosophy lies in an arbitrary ruling that all philosophy must be either a construction or an analysis of ...
445. The Myth of the Goddess, Evolution of an image by Anne Baring and Jules Cashford [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... together the stories and images of goddesses from different cultures and ages. In the course of their research they discovered such surprising similarities and parallels in all the goddess myths of apparently unrelated cultures that (they) concluded that there had been a continuous transmission of images throughout history'. They found the similarities so striking that they felt they were writing about one myth, one goddess. Had they been familiar with the works of Velikovsky and later researchers into the cosmic implications of myth, I doubt they would have been so surprised at their discovery. As it is, the fact that they approach their subject from a viewpoint completely removed from and untouched by ideas of cosmic catastrophe gives ...
446. Scientific Prehistory [Books]
... convinced me that Cook is a physical scientist of genius, combining a sweeping imagination with a penetrating grasp of detail, so I ordered a copy of Prehistory and Earth Models which was obtained from the British Library. It is unfortunate that it is long out of print, for this is an outstanding book of great interest to catastrophists. Cook's writing is not as easy and accessible as Velikovsky's, not because of any fault of style but rather because it is extremely condensed. Prehistory and Earth Models covers: the measurement of geological time by radiological and other "clocks" (both short and long term); continental drift; the formation of continents and mountains; ice ages and ...
447. Sirius. Supplement: Astronomy And Chronology Ch.2 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... Julius Caesar. Octavianus Augustus made the calendar with leap years the legal calendar in Rome, and a few years later, in -26 or by other calculations in -29, introduced it in Alexandria in Egypt. The Egyptians of the Hellenistic and Roman periods knew that the length of the year is 365 ¼ days: the Canopus Decree and the writings of Diodorus of Sicily [3 ] prove it. It is possible that Caesar borrowed this knowledge from the Egyptians, but they themselves were reluctant to make their religious year equal to their astronomical year. The Roman authors of the first pre-Christian and following centuries, who felt themselves privileged to have a better calendar, were familiar with the ...
448. Focus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Workshop Vol 5 No 1 (1982) Home | Issue Contents Focus Darwin's Centenary - A "New Scientist" Affirmation In celebration of Charles Darwin's death on 19.4 .1882 the New Scientist devoted a large part of their 15.4 .82 edition to articles on the subject of evolution. It would seem that everyone wants to write about evolution these days and the succeeding weeks saw New Scientist publish a flurry of articles on the subject. Was this really just a centenary celebration or was it symptomatic of a deeper unrest? The editorial comment (15.4 .82, p. 122) made the excellent observation: "Unfortunately, the words he wrote more ...
449. Devi And Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. II No. 1 (August 1976) Home | Issue Contents Devi And Venus Artur Isenberg INTRODUCTION In Worlds in Collision, Immanuel Velikovsky writes: "In every country of the ancient world we can trace cosmological myths of the birth of the planet Venus. If we look for the god or goddess who represents the planet Venus, we must inquire which among the gods or goddesses did not exist from the beginning, but was born into the family."(1 ) Elsewhere in the same work, he adds: "If there exists a fantastic image that is projected against the sky and that repeats itself all round the world, it is ...
450. The Queen's Brother. Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... indifferent to the raids made by various warring parties into his Asiatic domain. Letters from Syria and Palestine repeatedly called his attention to the danger of all his Asiatic provinces falling prey to the invaders, a bellicose king in the north and pillaging bands from the east. But Akhnaton was absorbed in his pleasures, in building his capital, in writing his poetry, and in his family life. Scarcely a decade and a half later Akhet-Aton was left for desert sand to cover it. It was not until 1891-92 that, from under the hovels of the gypsy-like migratory settlement of the bedouin clan that bore the name of Amarna, the Petrie expedition slowly uncovered the city of Akhet-Aton. ...
