... S . Review in this area, and is currently continuing his research into the stratigraphy and chronology of ancient Palestine. It is now generally agreed among Biblical scholars that the Israelite Conquest of Canaan under Joshua took place towards the end of the Late Bronze Age, in the second half of the 13th century BC, and it is held that archaeological evidence supports this date. In a previous article (SISR I:3 , pp. 2-7) Dr Bimson argued that the Conquest, in terms of the revised chronology, must be associated with the destructions of the Middle Bronze Age cities of Palestine. The accompanying table clearly shows this new placement to be preferable when the archaeological evidence ...
182. Minerals, Metals, Glazing and Man, by John Dayton, Reviewed by Geoffrey Gammon [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History II:2 (Jun 1980) Home | Issue Contents Minerals, Metals, Glazing and Man, by John Dayton, Reviewed by Geoffrey Gammon Geoffrey Gammon John Dayton is a qualified civil engineer whose interest in archaeology was awakened while he was working on the Hejaz Railway in Saudi Arabia. After studying at the London Institute of Archaeology he became co-leader of the first archaeological survey of the Hejaz and later of excavations at Tel-es-Sweyhat in the Euphrates Valley. He has also published a challenging paper entitled "The Problem of Tin in the Ancient World."1 A few years ago Dayton began what was initially intended to be a Ph.D . ...
183. Hittites and Phrygians [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History IV:2 (July 1982) Home | Issue Contents Hittites and Phrygians Phillip Clapham Sites associated with the 9th and 8th century (B .C .) kingdom of Urartu in the mountainous Transcaucasus that became the later Armenia of the Greek and Roman worlds appear abruptly in the archaeological record as fully developed iron-using societies. Robert Hewsen1 has highlighted a number of discrepancies in the orthodox time scheme that can best be explained by Velikovskian revision. Archaeologically, Urartu, like archaic Greece and Phrygia of the early first millennium B.C ., is a paradox, for it is preceded by a dark age that is culturally and physically bereft of signs ...

... the relics of the royal residences of the Nineteenth, the same as the Twenty-sixth, Dynasty. This explains why in the seventh to sixth centuries, in the days of the "Saitic Dynasty," the Hebrew prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel regarded Tanis as the capital of Egypt. 1 Cf. A. H. Gardiner, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology. V (1918) 248. 2 The time of Wenamon's travels is discussed in the volume Peoples of the Sea. 3 The ruins of this plain are so numerous that Ch. Hayes suggested that Tanis should be looked for some distance to the south from Sa el Hagar. 4 Even today Tunis, near the ruins of Carthage ...

186. Venus Before Exodus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... that Venus might have been in existence for centuries before the Exodus. However, as far as we can tell, he left no indication as to his beliefs on whether Venus caused catastrophes before Exodus or not. It's this question which we shall be examining today. It's going to be necessary to give you an introduction to the history and archaeology of the Near East to explain our later themes [see diagram 1]. Velikovsky's Exodus catastrophe ends the Egyptian Middle Kingdom and the Middle Bronze Age of Palestine. In the subsequent period (known as the Second Intermediate Period) the Hyksos - the Biblical Amalekites - rule Egypt. Now previously there had been an Intermediate Period at the ...
187. In Defence of Higher Chronologies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that the First Babylonian Dynasty needs to be lowered to Persian times and is, in fact, to be identified with the Persian Empire [8 ]. In this, Hammurabi would be the same as Darius the Great, Ammisaduqa would be the same as Artaxerxes III Ochos [9 ] and so on. Heinsohn based these conclusions mainly on archaeological and stratigraphical considerations, which I tend to see as of secondary import. My endorsement of Heinsohn's late dating of the First Babylonian Dynasty resulted from astronomical and calendrical considerations, which he tends to see as being of very limited import. My summary here may be too mild to do Heinsohn full justice: he describes my research as phoney ...
188. The Nature and Scale of an Exodus Catastrophe Reassessed [Journals] [SIS Review]
... traditions to ask whether they really do provide evidence of cosmic catastrophes during the Exodus-Conquest period, and if so, on what scale. However, before undertaking that examination it will be instructive to review some previous studies which have thrown doubt on Velikovsky's thesis that in the 15th century BC the Earth underwent global catastrophes of great severity. Astronomy, Archaeology and Ice Cores During the 1970s, some of the most impressive attempts to test Velikovsky's theories were undertaken by Dr Euan MacKie (1973, 1974/5 ). His papers remain model approaches to the problems because of their careful, discerning methodology, their attention to detail, and their scrupulously fair, objective weighing of the evidence. ...
189. Cosmic Catastrophism [Journals] [Aeon]
... should exhibit a cessation of growth about 3,500 years ago with only limited renewed growth in a few areas. But this is not the case. Furthermore, study 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 the eighth and seventh centuries B.C . Discrepancies in Babylonian astronomical tablets seem to indicate that Babylon was once some 250 kilometers (about 155 miles) further north than ...
