Sample text

In Babylonian thought, the north pole of the heavens was the true zenith of the cosmic system, and the axis of the system upright; consequently the diurnal movements of the sun and moon were regarded as occurring in a horizontal plane.  That their respective distances from the Earth were not uniform was already known.  In order to pass from the upper half of the Earth to its under half, that is, from the abode of living men to the abode of the dead, it was necessary to cross a body of water which on every side separated the two abodes.

The staged Temple of Nippur, according to Sayce, was a model of the Earth according to the belief of those who built it.  The seven tupukati of the underworld are a facsimile of the seven tupukati of the over world.  977­983. 39 Hebrews, Chinese, and to the Indo­Aryans of the Rig­Veda period.  This belief is one of untraceable antiquity.  Above the seventh heaven was another, the "highest heaven," that of the fixed stars, called by the Babylonians the "heaven of Anu," after the name of one of their oldest and highest gods.

Or again there is another story of Shu, which is that as the divine Son, he had later in his turn begotten Seb and Nut, the two deities he had separated. Such then is the first catastrophe ­ every religion has recognised it; that the Earth is cut off, disinherited, a troubled, troublesome, perturbed, perturbating, turbulent, storm­swept, dream­ sodden, staggering, breathless, complaining planet; and that all of its children have inherited its qualities. 44 8 Earth­Moon Catastrophe Plate 10B ­ The Sky Goddess Nut represented double.
