... wrongly became consequences and consequences changed to causes, and descendants became ancestors, while progenitors were turned into offspring. SEQUENCE OF DYNASTIES: EVIDENCES FROM LANGUAGE, ART, AND ARCHAEOLOGY The Egyptian language and orthography under the Ethiopians and the Twenty-sixth (called also Saitic) Dynasty were so similar to the style and orthography under the Eighteenth Dynasty that experts ... over a hundred years before his actual time. Abibaal was placed in the tenth century as a contemporary of Sosenk I. The epigraphists, who must take directives from the archaeologists, tried to reconcile the dates derived from these inscriptions with the characters on the stele of Mesha and on the ivories from Samaria of the middle of the ninth century ...
222. Gezer and the Mysterious Gates of Solomon [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... later severely disparaged by later investigators, chief among them William G. Dever, who directed a later excavation series between 1964 and 1973 for the Hebrew Union College Biblical and Archaeological School and a subsequent 1984 inquiry prompted by heavy criticism of his conclusions, though not of his fine methodology. One of the highlights of Macalister's discoveries was the so-called ... excluded from Solomon's administrative districts, and Yohanan Aharoni for one specifically excludes the Philistine area from the Kingdom of Solomon (see map). What is clear is that the archaeologists are eager to embrace the biblical record when it agrees with their hypotheses, but dismiss it for any number of ad hoc reasons whenever a problem arises. It is ...

... facts are seen to acquire meaning and coherence is likely to represent a historical reality'." Barbara Bell "The Dark Ages in Ancient History", American Journal of Archaeology, vol. 75 (1971), p. 2 "How do you decide whether someone or something is reliable? Consistency is clearly vital; if a person ... sheer scale of it is stunning; and one wonders how the Egyptologists could have dealt with these convergences without a crash course in science, technology, etc. Historians and archaeologists, rather than accepting all these forms of evidence that so clearly corroborate that ancient Near Eastern chronology demands a great shortening, have steadfastly clung to Manethon's erroneous long outline ...

... been confirmed by a study of a dry lake bed in New Mexico. The rapid changes were therefore global and not confined to Greenland. Bronze Age forest Hendon & District Archaeological Society Newsletter no.269, Aug.93 A forest dating from the Bronze Age was exposed by peat digging in moors on the Yorkshire/Humberside border. Only ... August 15th 1993 How early man migrated southwards past the North American glaciers at the end of the last ice age has long been a subject of debate. The ideas of archaeologist Knut Fladmark that the Pacific coast was the likely route were dismissed in the 1970s by other archaeologists, who postulated an ice free corridor east of the Rockies. Now ...
225. Cosmic Catastrophism [Journals] [Aeon]
... of coral growth rings shows that, despite Velikovsky's claims to the contrary, no major changes have occurred in the length of the year in recent millennia. (75) Archaeological discoveries should also be able to provide evidence for ancient catastrophes. Velikovsky cites a couple of examples that he claims show that the earth's axis shifted in the catastrophes of ... highly questionable methodology. Furthermore, geology and archaeology give no support to theories of recent cataclysms. It is easy to see, then, why ancient historians, anthropologists, archaeologists and mythologists have joined scientists in rejecting Velikovsky's hypothesis. Reconstructing Ancient Chronology When Velikovsky first began searching for other references to the catastrophes supposedly recounted in the biblical book of ...
226. Tiahuanaco and the Delug [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the buildings were completed and then toppled by some natural catastrophe, such as the eruption of the Andes mountain chain or a world-wide deluge. It is interesting to observe the archaeological excavation work, which is under way at the site. At this altitude of 13,300 feet some of the remains are found at a level 6 feet below ... not always the case. Just 12 miles southward of the southernmost tip of Lake Titicaca lie the remains of Tiahuanaco, the site of a technologically advanced culture considered by many archaeologists (romantic- not orthodox) to be the oldest ruins in the world. Although some misguided scholars have attributed the buildings of Tiahuanaco to the Incas, it has ...

... controversial theory can fall into this error. Euan W. MacKie Hunterian Museum The University, Glasgow NOTES: 1. E. W. MacKie (1974), "Archaeological Tests on Supposed Prehistorical Astronomical Sites in Scotland," Phil. Trans. Roy. Soc. Lond. A. 276, pp. 169-94. * * * ... . It really will not do to dismiss the climatic evidence so lightly. There is a mass of literature on this subject and scores of botanists, climatologists, geologists and archaeologists have worked on post-glacial climatic problems for many decades. I suggest Mr. Cardona starts by reading Professor Lamb's paper in the volume of the Phil. Trans. Roy ...
228. Forum: Do the Early Middle Ages Survive Only as a Sacred Cow? C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... this debate are also mine. Specifically, we are dealing with a chronological problem: between Caesar and the Gregorian Calendar Reform, the timeline has 297 years too many; archaeological findings refute the abundance of written documents; Charlemagne never existed, nor did Harun al-Raschid, or Alfred the Great; a mysterious gap also appears in the Old World ...

Of the missing palaces, archaeologists have thus far not been able to discover a single stone or piece of wood. The coins to which Palmer refers present the same problem. In the whole of ...
229. The Rise of Blood Sacrifice [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Sophisticated blood rituals became the most prominent activities of the first permanent lords. The origin of these sacred procedures remained equally enigmatic. Though well documented, the textual and archaeological sources which point to catastrophic preconditions for the emergence of a sacrificial elite, are only rarely taken into consideration by students of religion. This paper tries to show the ... a common fate of Bronze Age sites outside the great river valleys. Archaeologically, such disasters were first systematically surveyed by Claude Schaeffer (1898-1982), the most eminent French archaeologist of our century, who, inter alia, excavated at Ugarit/Le-banon, Enkomi/Cyprus and Malatya/Turkey. His work with allied intelligence at Bletchley- ...

... the potential for reanimation in order to act as a servant of the deceased. A good short description of the process is this one from the Institute of Egyptian Art and Archaeology at the University of Memphis: "Instructions for the rite were read by a priest as the heir of the deceased would purify and animate the mummy or statue of ... in Egypt, writing may have come from Mesopotamia." [44] The term Book of the Dead is an erroneous designation that came from a misunderstanding by the gentlemen archaeologists of the early nineteenth century. In those pioneering days a lot of their discoveries were really just material purchased from Egyptian tomb-robbers. When asked what these papyri that were ...
