... , reported a large magnetic declination swing in the middle of the first half of the first millennium B.C . This is in very good agreement with similar findings at Lake Windermere, England (1971).(18) For someone who obviously regards himself as an authority on paleomagnetism, Krupp seems lamentably ignorant of the facts concerning the archaeological and geological record of the Earth's magnetic field. On the other hand, it would appear that Velikovsky's position vis-à-vis historic magnetic field reversals- given the incredible difficulty of detecting short-lived events- is immeasurably strengthened since the magnetic disturbance ca. 800 B.C . must have been massive to have left any impression at all. To add ...
162. Why is Velikovsky in archeology ? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1996:1 Home | Issue Contents Newsgroups: alt.archaeology Why is Velikovsky in archeology ?From: Peggy Hall, phall@primenet.com Date: 26 Jun 1995 09:07:04 GMT What has Velikovsky done that has anything to do with archeology ?? ?? From: bigbird@swcp, bigbird@swcp.com Date: 27 Jun 1995 02:43:39 GMT Velikovsky also wrote a book arguing that the Egyptologists of the time had double read a dynasty into the inscriptions, leading to an extra five hundred years added to Egyptian history. Been a very long time and I do not remember the name of ...
163. Chronology And Cosmic Catastrophism [Books]
... sudden impoverishment, and during which many peoples migrated, often to distant places. C. F. A. Schaeffer has shown in a remarkable way the contemporaneity in the downfall of civilizations over a great section of our planet (from Europe to the Far East), 5 and he categorically concludes that the contemporaneous destruction-layers, found in the archaeological stratigraphy on many sites of Eurasia, can only be the result of catastrophes and events which were not provoked by man's action.6 2. C. F. A. Schaeffer presumes that the catastrophes which caused the end of civilizations in Eurasia originated in devastating earthquakes which shook the world. He mentions that many sites show that the ...
164. Egyptian Influence Upon Early Israelite Literature [Journals] [Aeon]
... Canaan (c . 2200-1550 B.C .E .) [1 ] and the exile of the Jews to Babylon (c . 587-538 B.C .E .) . [2 ] The existence of a distinct people known as Israel will also be specifically addressed. The opinions of experts will be explored, as well as archaeological evidence, in order to determine the historicity of Israel as a nation. An attempt will be made to determine what effect Egyptian culture had upon early Israelite traditions and culture. Various primary sources from Egypt and Israel will be compared throughout this effort. The opportunities for the Israelites and the Egyptians to connect and exchange ideas were numerous throughout ...
165. The Kintraw Stone Platform [Journals] [Kronos]
... Issue Contents The Kintraw Stone Platform Thomas McCreery Professor Thom's innovative hypothesis concerning megalithic astronomical observatories has, if correct, catastrophic import on a range of disciplines. His works have consequently provoked considered opposition from various quarters.(1 ) A fundamental criticism which is often levelled at his work concerns the absence of independent evidence, anthropological as well as archaeological, which would necessarily underpin his theories. This dilemma seemed to have been resolved in 1969 when Thom stated that a small ledge had been cut into the steep hillside at Kintraw for use as an observation platform.(2 ) An archaeologist, Dr. Euan MacKie, reasoned that the ledge provided a crucial test for the veracity of ...
166. Velikovsky, Fundamentalism and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Aeon]
... kind of trouble that plagues the chronology of ancient Greece. The history of Greece is written in opposite directions. We follow the trail of evidence from classical times backward until it fades out in the 7th and 8th centuries BCE. At the same time we track the development of the Mycenaean period (conventionally anchored in the 2nd millennium BCE by archaeological ties to the 18th dynasty) forward until it fades out in the 12th and 11th centuries BCE. Because these converging histories fail to converge, the resulting gap is called a "dark age." It occurred to me that Velikovsky, by sandwiching his revision between the unbending bookends of volumes I and V, might be inviting similar ...
167. The Still-Lost City of Avaris: The Capital and Stronghold of the Hebrew Pharaohs (Hyksos) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... much-sought-after place. The present author will also show an absolutely new vicinity for Avaris. Hopefully, a fearless archaeologist will go there in search of it. We must devote some time to an earnest and remarkable archaeologist, Sir William Mathew Flinders Petrie. Modern Egyptology was really his creation, and he was called by Egyptologists "The Father of Archaeology." He was one of the most precise men in the field. He went to Egypt in 1880, and worked there on and off for 46 years. By labeling and testing everything that surfaced he made archaeology a prominent science. Petrie surpassed all others in the number of sites he excavated and the number of books he wrote ...
168. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... VAN SETERS and ALBRIGHT to the Second Intermediate Period and the identification of its descriptions with the Biblical Plagues by a number of geologists; and the findings of KENYON at Jericho (cf. papers by JOHN BIMSON and GEOFFREY GAMMON in SISR I:3 ), which have led archaeologists to see "the most flagrant discrepancy between Scriptural statements and archaeological discoveries, throwing a shadow on the historical veracity of the Hebrew Testament". In Dr Velikovsky's view, the ease with which these findings, along with other evidence from Jericho and elsewhere, can be accommodated in his historical revision, suggests rather that the shadow falls on conventional archaeology. Other items in an "imposing score of confirmations ...
