... sites of Kahun and el-Amarna. At these sites the archaeologists found sherds with typical Minoan (Kahun) and Late Helladic (el-Amarna) decoration which, with reconstruction, took on the familiar shapes of the stirrup jars, so characteristic of the era which has become known as the Mycenaean Period. The imported pottery from el-Amarna was found in an archaeological context which dated it to the end of the 18th Dynasty (c . 1350 BC) and later work showed that the pottery phase concerned (LH IIIB) was predominant in the century before the end of the Late Bronze Age and the collapse of the Mycenaean culture of central and southern Greece. The true significance and implication of this ...
192. Dating the Hammurabi Dynasty Using the Venus Tablets [Journals] [SIS Review]
... between the 8th and 9th years of the sequence, Year of the Golden Throne', is the date-formula of the eighth ruler of the Hammurabi Dynasty, King Ammisaduqa [3 ]. Accordingly, the sequence could now be used for dating purposes. This resulted in a series of solutions' giving possible dates within the limits thought to be archaeologically possible. Before World War I it was generally believed that Hammurabi lived around 2000BC. Ammisaduqa came to the throne 146 years after Hammurabi's accession date [4 ]. However, doubts began to be expressed after the war and various authorities put forward different solutions [5 ]. The matter was resolved in 1923 with the publication of the ...
193. The Mesoamerican Record [Journals] [Pensee]
... earthquake), and the practice of calculating and recording these and lesser cycles by means of a glyphic system; 3) human sacrifice; 4) a ritual ball game; 5) worship of the planet Venus. In applying Velikovsky's historical method I will try to establish two conclusions following from its two aspects. The first is that recent archaeological explorations of the oldest stratum of Mesoamerican civilization, the Olmec, have constructed a record which suggests with very satisfying chronological correspondence the events described in Worlds in Collision. The second is that in the only perfectly preserved sacred narrative left us by any Mesoamerican people, the Popol Vuh or Book of Counsel of the Quiche Mayas, these same ...
194. Hammurabi and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... This dating was originally prompted by information contained in an inscription of Nabonidus, the last king of Babylon, who reigned in the sixth century until the conquest of his land by Cyrus. Whereas his son and co-ruler, Belshazzar, occupied himself with the administration of the land, Nabonidus indulged in an avocation: he showed a marked interest in archaeology, and excavated the foundations of ancient temples, looking for old inscriptions.(2a) In the foundations of a temple at Larsa, Nabonidus found a plaque of King Burnaburiash. This king is known to us from the el-Amarna correspondence in which he participated. On that plaque Burnaburiash wrote that he had rebuilt the temple erected seven hundred ...

... case depending on exactly where the sightings were recorded, which is not known for certain [11]. Nevertheless, despite these qualifications and questions about the assumptions involved [12], it is still generally believed that Sothic dating, coupled with other fine-tuning based on observations of lunar cycles, has refined the conclusions from the fragmentary historical and archaeological evidence and produced a chronology for ancient Egypt which is secure within certain limits. New Kingdom dates are thought to be accurate to within 20 years and dates from the very early dynastic period are considered accurate to within 200 years [13]. This has had implications for the chronology of other parts of the ancient world, especially Greece ...
196. Rock Art Database (RAD) [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... RAD)http://www.10mb.com/rupestre/database/RAD is a DOS-Database application derived (and translated) from EUGA - Central Alps Rock Art Archive. EUGA was compiled originally in 1992-1994 in order to facilitate the recording of the engravings of the Rupe Magna, in Valtellina (Italy), under a Rupestrian Archaeology research conducted by Footsteps of Man (Orme dell'Uomo) and promoted by the Grosio Park of the Engraved Rocks and by the Lombardy Archaeological Superintendency. EUGA was preceded in 1991 by GLYPHO, a DB4 database application by Gruppo Ricerche Cultura Montana (Italy), allowing researchers to compute totals and percents of the 125 typologies of the Western Alps ...

... spores; and an article offered to Nature, we are told, has suffered the ignominy of rejection. Against all this, the "cosmic catastrophe" involved - a "flare-up" in the Sun - seems positively tame .. . - R. M. L. Bible Convention K. M. Kenyon: THE BIBLE AND RECENT ARCHAEOLOGY (London: Colonnade, 1978). JOHN BIMSON Dame Kathleen Kenyon's important excavations at Samaria, Jericho and Jerusalem, and her contribution to the development of precise stratigraphical analysis, made her one of the most important Palestinian archaeologists, and her death in August 1978 was a great loss. In the present book we meet Kenyon in the ...

... Kingdom, and he placed the two Kingdoms partly in parallel and made the First and Second Intermediate Periods one and the same. The biblical famine of Joseph was placed in the 12th and 5th dynasties and certain of their famine inscriptions were taken as referring to the same famine. Courville was not very clear as to how the vast quantity of archaeological evidence from the Old and Middle Kingdoms was to be merged. C) Post Velikovsky leading to the New Chronology' When Velikovsky eventually brought out his later volumes in the Ages in Chaos' series [5 ] it became obvious to some of his supporters that his ideas were not infallible, particularly his identification of Ramesses II of the ...
199. Troy. Ch.12 The Ruins Of The East (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... Achaeans, warriors under Agamemnon. Later scholars have identified the second city as of a much earlier date, and declared the sixth city from the bottom to be that of Priam and Homer. The second city came to an end at the time the Old Kingdom of Egypt fell; it was destroyed in a violent paroxysm of nature. The archaeological expedition of Cincinnati University under Carl Blegen has established that an earthquake destroyed the city besieged by Agamenmon.2 Claude Schaeffer, the excavator of Ras Shamra (Ugarit) in Syria, came to Troy to compare the finds of Blegen with his own at Ras Shamra and became convinced that the earthquakes and conflagrations he had noted at Ras Shamra ...
200. Anchors Aweig [Journals] [Kronos]
... 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 by an eminent Near Eastern archaeologist recommending the abandonment of the precious Sothic date 1872 BC. 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 ...
