... From: SIS C & C Review 2003 (Nov 2003) Conference Proceedings Ages Still in Chaos' Home | Issue Contents A Testing Time David Rohl David Rohl is author of A Test of Time and Legend and is Chairman of the Institute for the Study of Interdisciplinary Sciences. He is Archaeology Correspondent for The Express newspaper. David Rohl discussed some of the criticisms of two areas of the New Chronology raised by Dr John Bimson: * the period when Jericho was destroyed in the Middle Bronze Age and * whether the Dynasty XX can be compressed sufficiently to have Samaria and Iron Age I pottery coexisting with Omri and Ahab. He discussed whether the A Test of Time Chronology' ...
122. Master Of Fieldwork: Come See For Yourself. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... A. Schaeffer, member of the Institut, professor at the Collège de France. He wrote it from the Côte d'Azur on July 23, 1956, after reading Earth in Upheaval. I took it with me to the South where at the Mediterranean shore I find some time for reading and writing before I shall go out again to further archaeological and stratigraphical research in Syria (Ras Shamra) and Cyprus (Enkomi-Alasia), in September. I finished reading your book with the greatest interest and much profit. So he started his letter. No discovery made a revolution in biblical studies comparable with that which was caused by Schaeffer's findings in Ras Shamra-Ugarit. Seventy years of biblical criticism ...
123. Ash [Journals] [Pensee]
... negatives. Velikovsky initially wrote to W. F. Libby, the discoverer of radiocarbon dating. He then began going the rounds of the major museums, inquiring whether radiocarbon tests of New Kingdom and related objects had been or might be made. The exchanges below are with curators and officials at the Harvard Semitic Museum, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the British Museum, as well as several. faculty members at the University of California. In this quest he both wrote the museums on his own and enlisted the aid of others acquainted with his work and objectively interested in the possible results of ...
124. Palestinian Archaeology and a Ramesses VI-Shishak Identification [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History XI:1 (Jan 1989) Home | Issue Contents Palestinian Archaeology and a Ramesses VI-Shishak Identification Jeremy Goldberg It has been argued elsewhere that an identification of Shishak (i .e . of the conqueror of Rehoboam) with Ramesses VI produces what is at least in some ways a plausible- though speculative- reconstruction of c. tenth-century B.C . Egyptian-Israelite relations. This would include the following phases: Saul: Israel gains power during the later Ramesses II period of stasis in Egyptian foreign policy, perhaps eventually as an ally of Ramesses II. David: Very early in his reign, Israel, Gezer, and the Philistines (who ...
125. The Greek Colonisation Movement - When and Why? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , be a scholarly invention and that the interval of time between the collapse of Mycenaean culture and the Archaic revival was relatively short, I now propose to consider what effect such a reduction in the chronology would have on the causes of Greek expansion in the Mediterranean. At the same time I will endeavour to give a brief summary of the archaeological evidence for continuity of occupation between the Bronze and Iron Age stratigraphy found at the principal colonisation sites under discussion. This will hopefully show that there are good reasons to suggest that the colonisation movement began with Homer's Achaeans and that the subsequent Archaic expansion directly followed the earlier founding of cities on the coasts of Sicily, Italy, Anatolia and ...
126. The Arrival of the Philistines and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... into the stratigraphy and chronology of ancient Palestine. The arrival of the Philistines in Canaan is usually placed in the reign of Ramesses III, but this date has always been problematic, as it makes several biblical references to the Philistines anachronistic. An earlier date alleviates this problem and bolsters the case for a revised Conquest date, also providing possible archaeological evidence of the biblical Plagues. Introduction The Philistines of the Old Testament are normally identified with one of a group of peoples known from Egyptian records and referred to collectively by modern scholarship as Peoples of the Sea. The Philistines' arrival in Canaan is consequently dated to follow the abortive attack on Egypt by the Peoples of the Sea in ...
127. The Sea Peoples and the Philistines [Articles]
... SIS SPRING MEETING, 9th April 1983 The Sea Peoples and the Philistines Peter J. James Brian Moore: The session this afternoon begins with Peter James' talk on The Sea Peoples and the Philistines. Most people will know Peter- he is a graduate in archaeology from Birmingham who is currently doing a master of philosophy degree in researching the Philistines at the University of London; best known as an editor of the SIS Review and a prolific writer in that as well. As an editor of the Review, he is happy to sign any copies of the Glasgow Proceedings that anybody has brought with them- has anybody NOT received a copy of them? So I hand over ...
128. Olympia [Journals] [Kronos]
... figures; this is the period of the orientalization of the art of Greece in the seventh century. The sixth century is the time of "archaic" art, and in due course "archaic" art developed into "classical" art. This scheme was accepted, and today, with only slight variations, it is the credo of archaeological art. Dörpfeld insisted that the geometric ware ascribed to the first millennium was actually contemporaneous with, and even antecedent to, the Mycenaean art of the second millennium, and that the "primitive" pottery was also of the second millennium. The latter was actually found in Mycenaean tombs together with the Mycenaean ware. This should signify that ...
129. The Rise of Blood Sacrifice [Journals] [Aeon]
... with temple-centered urban settlements. It is not known why priest-kings were suddenly accepted as hierarchically superior rulers entitled to provisions by their fellows who thereby turned themselves into mankind's first commoners. 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 essential correctness of Mesopotamian myths, which claim the first "cult places" and their priestly personnel to have emerged as institutions for "beclouded" people in need of " ...
130. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... "philosophy of linguistic analysis" - a clear set of criteria for the interpretation of ancient texts, which is at present carried out with very poor methodology. The questioner also found it "striking" that "the strictly scientific assessment by chemical investigation of artefacts is quite rigorous in its control, but the actual assessment of the relation of archaeological data to history is sloppy and old-fashioned." Dr Meynell agreed; and pointed out that what he found striking in this field was the ease with which clear descriptions in ancient authors of astounding natural phenomena are read as political metaphors, in defiance of "the idea that people might actually have meant what they said". The criteria ...
