From: SIS Internet Digest 1997:2 (Feb 1998) Home | Issue Contents Archaeological redating in the news today...From: Kevin Weinhold, KWeinhold@dpra.com Date: Wed, 31 Dec 97 95504 CST Excerpt from the Wall Street Journal, Wed Dec. 31, 1997: Mr. Finkelstein, head of Tel Aviv University's prestigious archaeological institute and one of Israel's leading archaeologists, is the man whose field work put Israelite settlements on the archaeological map in the first place.

62. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... circles in the years between -2500 and -1500. Of these less than 900 remain, in varying states of ruin. For centuries they have fascinated the tourist and inspired the mystic; but over recent years they have also become the centre of heated controversy between astronomers and archaeologists. The conflict has been aggravated by the astronomers' misuse of the archaeological data and the archaeologists' anxiety to avoid contamination by the "lunatic fringe" (i .e . those who claimed that the monuments had any significance not approved by the archaeologists). Currently, the battleground is the work of Professor Thom, who for over twenty years has investigated the sites and accumulated a wealth of data, ...
63. Additional Data for the Combined Velikovsky, Glasgow and Heinsohn Scenario? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 2005:1 (February 2005) Home | Issue Contents Additional Data for the Combined Velikovsky, Glasgow and Heinsohn Scenario?Sjef van Asten In a number of previous issues of C&C Review the low chronology' of Israel Finkelstein was discussed [1 ]. Based on archaeological finds and radiocarbon dates from Tel Rehov, Megiddo, Tel Dor and Tel Hadar, he concluded that Megiddo, Hazor and Gezer must have been fortified in the time of Omri and Ahab and not, as the Old Testament tells us, in the time of Solomon [2 ]. The destruction of northern parts of Israel occurred in the time of the ...
64. Heinsohn and the Hyksos (An Answer to Martin Sieff) [Journals] [Aeon]
... :1 (1989) Home | Issue Contents Heinsohn and the Hyksos (An Answer to Martin Sieff)Clark Whelton In 1985 Martin Sieff alerted me to the radical reconstruction of Mesopotamian history which Gunnar Heinsohn had been working on for several years. After studying Heinsohn's thesis, I found myself increasingly drawn to his analytical method. He claims the archaeology of Mesopotamia does not confirm the existence of 10 major pre-Hellenistic empires as the textbooks say it should. Evidence of only five great powers- known in ancient times as Early Chaldeans (Kasdim, Kassites), Assyrians, Late Chaldeans and Medes (ruling simultaneously), and Persians- can be found in the ground. By stretching the ...

67. Heinsohn's Revised Chronology [Journals] [Aeon]
... : Aeon II:5 (1991) Home | Issue Contents Heinsohn's Revised Chronology William H. Stiebing, Jr.Gunnar Heinsohn of the University of Bremen has proposed a major revision of the generally accepted chronology for Mesopotamia and the rest of the Near East which he claims is "evidence based." Supposedly, it makes better use of archaeological evidence as well as the data found in ancient texts than the conventional chronology does. However, the system he has proposed is fatally flawed for a number of reasons. In this paper I will point out four of these problems, commenting briefly on three of them and spending a bit more time on the fourth. (1 ) ...
68. Bronze Age Multi-Site Destructions (A Preliminary Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Anatolia, Syria, Palestine, the Caucasus, NW Iran and he also touched on Egypt and Mesopotamia. In this preliminary review I shall stay within the Fertile Crescent, concentrating on Syria (which was Schaeffer's home ground), for it provides the link between Mesopotamia and Egypt. To establish the historical relationships between destructions, Schaeffer considered the archaeological finds and stratigraphy at numerous sites. He amassed an enormous amount of such data which is why his book continues to be quoted although getting on for 50 years old. For many of the sites he tabulated the strata, illustrating the successive styles of pottery and metalwork and noting any dateable inscriptions. Then, for each region he compared ...
69. Calibrated Radiocarbon and the 'Methodological Fault-Line' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... either side of which exist abundant sites, but across which the evidence is scarce to non-existent. While calibration of dates has resolved some problems, it has created this giant enigma. The possibilities are as follow [sic]: 1) the calibration curve is wrong, 2) the date ascribed to written history is wrong, 3) archaeological stratification has been grossly misinterpreted, 4) the region was depopulated for a thousand years, or 5) the ceramics in use during this period are not diagnostic. Since none of these seem tenable, the enigma remains." [5 ] Hole also identifies further problems with many of the radiocarbon dates, and ventures [6 ] ...
70. Carbon 14 Dates and Velikovsky's Revision of Ancient History [Journals] [Pensee]
... Reconsidered IV" Home | Issue Contents Carbon 14 Dates and Velikovsky's Revision of Ancient History Israel M. Isaacson (E .M .S .) Samples from Pylos and Gordion: The author is engaged in studies of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean and Near East. He has performed research for Velikovsky on topics suggested by the latter, including the archaeology of Pylos and Gordion and the C14 tests on samples from the two sites. We are constantly assured that the chronology of Egypt from the time of the 18th Dynasty on is absolutely accurate with perhaps only 20 years uncertainty in a couple of places (1 ). The absolute dates obtained are founded on numerous texts of a historical nature ...
