... fact, be a connection between the two? (Illustration by Rob Ashton- after Rothenberg.) Timna, Ezion-Geber, and the Wadi Arabah One of the more likely sources for an objection to the above claim of a fourth century B.C . niche for Ramesses III and Dynasty XX will stem from the perceived results of the excellent archaeological research projects carried out by Rothenberg in the Wadi Arabah under the auspices of the Department of Archaeology, Tel-Aviv University. Whilst, for some years, firm dates for the copper mining and smelting activities in the eastern Sinai, and the Arabah in particular, were hard to pin down, final proof was deemed as sealed by the discovery ...
132. Second SIS Cambridge Conference Report [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... , Cambridge from 11-13 July 1997 for the second international conference of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies. The purpose - to discuss the near-simultaneous ending of Bronze Age civilizations world-wide, in particular whether the "giant comet" hypothesis, associated principally with the names of Clube & Napier and Hoyle & Wickramasinghe, could be substantiated by ground truth in the archaeological, geological, climatological and historical records. Depending on one's chronology and the geographic region under discussion, the Bronze Age started c.3500 BC and continued for two or three thousand years until approximately 1500-500 BC, encompassing not only the main construction phases of Stonehenge and its megalithic counterparts elsewhere, but also the genesis of kingship, priesthood ...
133. Velikovsky, Solomon, strata [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... : SIS Internet Digest 1999:2 (Oct 1999) Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky, Solomon, strata From: bb089@scn.org (James Conway) Date: Sat, 15 May 1999 17:07:14 -0700 (PDT) James Conway wrote: The tales of Solomon's wealth is in dispute because according to Velikovsky his archaeological strata is displaced by 5 ½ centuries further in time making the strata assigned to him lacking of any artifact at all that could be intelligently connected to his reign. Clark Whelton wrote: Did V. say that? I wasn't aware of it. Where did he say it? James Conway writes: A quick look did not help ...
134. A Reply to Stiebing [Journals] [Pensee]
... Home | Issue Contents A Reply to Stiebing Immanuel Velikovsky Copyright 1974 by Immanuel Velikovsky Ages in Chaos and the stratigraphical record In issue #5 of the Pensee series dedicated to the reexamination of my theses, W. H. Stiebing arrived at the conclusion that the historical reconstruction of Ages in Chaos "cannot be reconciled with the stratigraphical evidence of archaeology." By stratigraphical evidence are usually meant mute artifacts, mostly pottery. The effort in my reconstruction was in shifting the emphasis to archaeological literary evidence. It is from the literary evidence that the artifacts originally obtained their meaning as chronological indicators; but whereas at the base of the "orthodox" approach to historiography the reliance was mainly ...
135. Tiryns [Journals] [Pensee]
... 4 No 1: (Winter 1973-74) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VI" Home | Issue Contents Tiryns Immanuel Velikovsky Copyright 1974 by Immanuel Velikovsky The same problem that caused the difference of opinions at the Heraion of Olympia and at the necropolis of Dipylon at Athens arose at other excavated sites in Greece. To demonstrate this on another case of Greek archaeology, I chose Tiryns, south-east of Mycenae. Tiryns was excavated by Schliemann and Dörpfeld in 1884-85. Along with Mycenae, it is regarded as a center of Mycenaean culture. On an acropolis, foundations of a palace were discovered. Together with Mycenaean ware and mixed with it, geometric ware of the eighth and seventh centuries and archaic ...
136. Proceedings of the 2nd SIS Cambridge Conference [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1998:2 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents Proceedings of the 2nd SIS Cambridge Conference http://www.knowledge.co.uk/sis/cambproc.htm The Second SIS Cambridge Conference, entitled "Natural Catastrophes during Bronze Age Civilisations: Archaeological, Geological, Astronomical and Cultural Perspectives", was held at Fitzwilliam College between 11-13 July 1997. The first paper in the Proceedings is based on the keynote address by science journalist Robert Matthews. In this, Matthews makes two main points: (1 ) that observations made in the distant past may be far more accurate than we generally assume; and (2 ) that ...
137. Metallurgy and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... versed in a chosen field and not unwilling to follow through the ramifications of problems in their own disciplines into other areas of study. For its first two parts alone, John Dayton's Minerals, Metals, Glazing and Man* (or "Who Was Sesostris I?") deserves to grace departmental libraries in a number of fields, including archaeology, art history, geology, chemistry and metallurgy. Beautifully produced and copiously illustrated, it satisfies an urgent need - mainly on the part of archaeologists - for a comprehensive work of reference on a number of important and interrelated topics. Its main themes - the composition of ancient glazes and pigments, techniques of application, the provenance and ...
138. In Passing [Journals] [SIS Review]
... most troublesome Sothic dates has always been that based on the supposed reference to the rising of Sirius in the reign of Sesostris III, from which the chronological benchmark of 1786 BC for the end of the XIIth Dynasty has been calculated. A few years ago it might have sounded over-optimistic to suggest that the British journal Antiquity, stronghold of conventional archaeological thinking, would publish an article recommending the abandonment of the precious Sothic date 1872 BC by a leading Near Eastern archaeologist. But such is the argument of an article entitled "Egyptian and Near Eastern chronology: a dilemma?" (Antiquity 53, March 1979, pp. 6-18) by JAMES MELLAART (Dr Mellaart lectures in Anatolian ...
139. A Test of Time: Volume I the Bible - From Myth to History by David M. Rohl [Journals] [SIS Review]
... REVIEWS A Test of Time: Volume I the Bible - From Myth to History by David M. Rohl (Random Century, 1995). In Volume XIV of Chronology and Catastrophism Review, I reviewed Centuries of Darkness, in which Peter James, in collaboration with Nick Thorpe, Nikos Kokkinos, Robert Morkot and John Frankish, examined the archaeological record of Western Asia, the Mediterranean basin and prehistoric Europe in the Late Bronze and early Iron Ages and concluded that the Dark Age', which a majority of archaeologists and ancient historians had identified between the early 12th and late 8th centuries BC, did not in fact exist. They argued convincingly that it was a false construct, ...
140. Forum: Do the Early Middle Ages Survive Only as a Sacred Cow? C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... My own contribution to this debate amounts to some 60 articles and two books [2 , 3], publications Palmer is unfortunately unable to quote. The central ideas in 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 between Iceland [4 ] and Indonesia [5 ], probably also in China. In order to defend my theses, I include references to the published literature where the ...
