... , and it shall be granted thee." Rabbi Hanina made reply, "I desire naught but that thou shouldst teach me the whole of the Torah." The frog assented, and he did, indeed, teach him the whole of the Torah, and the seventy languages of men besides.[48] His method was to write a few words upon a scrap of paper, which he had his pupil swallow. Thus he acquired not alone the Torah and the seventy tongues, but also the language of beasts and birds. Thereupon the frog spoke to the wife of Rabbi Hanina: "Thou didst tend me well, and I have given thee no recompense. ...
482. The Spiral and Birth [Books]
... view of "the learned ecclesiastical historian Mgr. Duchesne", who has pointed out that according to an ancient belief "the world began and the sun and moon were created at the spring equinox". A sect of the Montanists dated the equinox on the twenty-fourth of March.1 Budge,2 dealing with the Egyptian festivals at Henen-su writes in regard to the birth of the new year: Other festivals were those of Bast, which were celebrated in the spring of the Egyptian year and those of the "hanging out of the heavens ", i.e ., the supposed reconstituting of the heavens each year in the spring. The god Khnemu, as of the ...
483. Paleo-Calcinology: Destruction by Fire in Pre-historic and Ancient Times Part I [Journals] [Kronos]
... experience afforded by the excavations of Troy can serve to expose the problems that justify a new approach. Afterwards. we can define in a preliminary way the body of techniques that need to be assembled and developed. The "Burnt City" of Troy In some exciting passages, which have unquestionably been among the most widely read of all archaeological writing, Schliemann describes how, in May of 1873, he uncovered "The Treasure of Priam," King of Troy during the war between the Greeks and Trojans. (Neither his identification of the Treasure as Priam's nor of the City as the Troy of Homer is at issue here, and therefore these problems are passed over lightly. ...
484. Kadmos: The Primeval King [Journals] [Kronos]
... figure lies behind the myth of Kadmos. PLANETARY GOD-KINGS The primeval king is one of the most fascinating characters in all of ancient mythology. Nearly every people of whom we have sufficient record has preserved an account of this primeval being, deemed responsible for the founding of great cities and the introduction of laws, religious rites, the system of writing, and so forth. Given that many of these accounts share common features, questions arise concerning their origin, distribution, and historical value. Our knowledge of the great civilizations of old, as well as their gods heroes, kings, and customs, comes primarily from the testimony of ancient historians such as Herodotus, Manetho, Diodorus ...
485. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 9 .96, p. 7 A Russian scientist claims to have built an antigravity machine. Three referees for The Journal of Physics D failed to find flaws in a paper for publication (now withdrawn after problems in the identity of the co-author. ASTRONOMY Galactic impacts Connecticut Post Bob Deegan of the Planetarium of the Discovery Museum, Bridgeport, writes that the large size of our Milky Way galaxy is probably due to it gobbling up smaller galaxies. There appears to be a galaxy which met another too big to swallow, generating a tremendous shock wave, destroying old stars and creating new ones. It all happens out there!

486. Night of the Gods: The Axis and the Universe-Tree [Books]
... "the universal column which sustains all things."16 Truncum quoque ligni non parvae magnitudinis in altum erectum sub dio locabant, patria cum lingua Irminsul appellantes, quod Latine dicitur universalis columna sustinens omnia. It was thus a big wooden post set up in the open air. " As a cosmogonic column related to the Scandinavian Yggdrasill," writes M. Goblet d'Alviella,17 "the Irminsul connects itself just as well with the tradition of the universal pillar as with that of the Tree of the world." But the axis idea seems never to have crossed M. Goblet's vision. He however approaches very near to the theory advocated in this Inquiry (without however coming into ...
487. The Autobiography Of Nebuchadnezzar. Ch. 5. (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... me, giving me but a small number of troops and charioteers. .. . I met the foe . . . and gave him battle. And Ishtar, my Lady, helped me, and I smote him. . . . And this was the first act in the prime of manhood. Both Hattusilis' autobiography and Berosus' writing about Nebuchadnezzar stress the extreme youth of the commander of the army. As soon as the youth was made governor of the Upper Land, even before he had earned his laurels in his first encounter with rebels, he met opposition in the person of the former ruler of that province. AUTOBIOGRAPHY SEC. 4: Before me it was ...
488. Solomon and Sheba [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the priest of Heliopolis (Genesis 41:45) and the highly religious Joseph probably exerted a considerable theological influence on the system of Heliopolis [13]. The influence of Hebrew wisdom on the Egyptians did not end with Joseph. Hatshepsut's own inscriptions betray an Israelite influence - especially from Genesis, the Psalms and, most interestingly, the writings generally attributed to Solomon (Proverbs, Wisdom, Song of Songs) [14]. From the perspective of Thebes there were several further interesting similarities between these two periods (apart from the prominence of Amon-Ra [or Ptah]) [15]. Map of Israel and Phoenicia (includes Gezer) The Punt Expedition Bimson's analysis of ...

... "subsequent part" or "sequel" to Worlds in Collision was never published, Velikovsky's suggested identifications remained unsubstantiated.* Knowing now in which direction to look, can we verify these identifications of Velikovsky? [* But see "Khima and Kesil" by Velikovsky elsewhere in this issue.- The Ed] 2. The Controversy. Writing in 1973, Donald Patten, in collaboration with R. R. Hatch and L. C. Steinhauer, also came to the conclusion that Aish, Khima, and Khesil were to be understood as planets. "Traditional commentaries suppose that these three are constellations, whereas actually they were visible planets moving across the constellation areas"( ...
490. The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes [Journals] [Kronos]
... Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics Drew University, Madison, N. J. Jaynes' Origin of Consciousness is an exciting and exasperating book. It is exciting because it breaks important new ground and challenges a host of unwarranted assumptions about the development of the human mind since the Upper Paleolithic Period. Yet it is exasperating, not only because Jaynes writes as though no one but he had ever before discussed fundamental transformations in our perceptual and conceptual behavior, but also because his book is marred by flagrant errors of various kinds, most of them philological. His thesis, in brief, is this: Till the Neolithic Period, about 10,000 years ago, people lived exclusively in ...
