... the Great, Ramses II, and Merneptah from the time in the fourteenth and thirteenth centuries usually ascribed to them to the seventh and sixth centuries. Actually, the process of identifying the early pharaohs of the Nineteenth Dynasty, Seti I (Sethos), Haremhab, Ramses I, and Seti the Great, occupies the volume dealing with the Assyrian domination which covers the time from about-840 to-612. There it is shown in some detail that Seti I (Sethos of Herodotus) was a contemporary and adversary of King Sennacherib; that Haremhab, his brother, was appointed a viceroy of Egypt by the decree of the Assyrian king and later crowned as a pharaoh, ...
162. The Harran Inscription of Nabonidus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of the different kings from that time up to his own 9th year. In this way he arrived at 104 years. But in the process of this calculation he (or perhaps his scribe) made a two-year error. Joan Oates was the first to demonstrate how such an error could have been made. Adda-guppi from the beginning was an Assyrian from Harran, first serving under Assyrian kings. When did she move to Babylon? Oates noticed that only the first two kings mentioned, Ashurbanipal and Assur-etillu-ilani, were Assyrian. She also noticed the wording: "until the nth year, not for n years" (Oates, 142). From her birth, Adda-guppi lived under ...
... natural as the year and the day. Unfortunately, astronomy can help us very little just now. However, when science has once become more reconciled to the chief points of Hoerbiger's Cosmological Theory, a competent person may undertake to calculate possible distances and times. At present the most significant figures are reached when we compare the Egyptian and the Assyrian calendar systems. The two are as different as is possible: the former reckoning in solar cycles, each consisting of 1460years; the latter calculating by lunar cycles, equal to 1805 years. As it is a very natural thing to set' a calendar by some momentous cosmic phenomenon, and as the transformation of a planet into a ...
164. Velikovsky, Solomon, strata [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... that their empire is said to have stretched from the Euphrates to Wadi El Arish (or perhaps to the Nile, depending on how you interpret "river of Egypt)." I am preparing an answer to Rose (whose title, by the way, is a bit deceptive since Rose- though opposing Heinsohn's lower dating of the Neo Assyrians- advocates lowering Egypt's Dynasty XII (Middle Kingdom) to the -4th century! and the pyramids to the -8th century) so I won't say more at this point except to note that if the Bible story about David and Solomon is based on genuine events then somewhere within that sizeable realm we should find evidence of them. Ev wrote ...
165. Reopening the Sumerian Question [Journals] [Aeon]
... a contemporary of Abraham, was identified with Hammurabi of Babylon. The date of Hammurabi in turn was used to anchor the entire chronology of the "Sumerians" and "Akkadians" that preceded him. By the middle of the nineteenth century it had become evident that the cuneiform script had been adapted for the writing of Semitic languages such as Assyrian, but that this had not been its original use; at the same time many of the tablets excavated in southern Mesopotamia were found to be written in a language unlike any other yet known. The eventual decipherment of this language with the aid of bilingual texts made it necessary to postulate the existence of a people of unusual talent and ...
166. A Different View on the Chronology of Hazor [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the thirteenth century by the Mycenaean pottery, and IB, dated to the fourteenth century, also because of the Mycenaean ware.4 Level 1A was destroyed by fire which Yadin attributes to Joshua, c. 1230 B.C .; on the other hand, if level 1A is eighth century, then its destruction might be attributed to Assyrians who destroyed Hazor in 732 B.C .5 Obviously, the question boils down to whether levels IA and IB are dated to the fourteenth and thirteenth centuries or to the ninth and eighth. The solution depends on comparing artifacts and structures found there with other datable finds elsewhere. Let us examine some of these finds. Diagram 1 ...
167. In Defence of Higher Chronologies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , yet our results are mutually supportive. Thus I have been much involved with radical chronology-lowering and might be expected to be receptive to further such lowerings. Nonetheless, there are definite limits to this and the present paper is concerned with three cases of additional lowering that seem to go too far. 1. Gunnar Heinsohn has recently identified the Assyrian kings known as the Sargonids - conventionally placed in the 8th and 7th centuries - with various Persian kings from the 5th and 4th centuries [12]. This amounts to lowering Assyrian chronology by nearly three centuries. 2. Benny J. Peiser has recently tried to eliminate nearly two centuries of early Greek history, with a comparable lowering ...
168. A Solution for the Third Intermediate Period of Egypt [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... with Ramses II) unfortunately amalgamates the Sethos of Herodotus with a Sethosis of Manetho in an account preserved by Josephus.(4 ) The Manetho story concerns two brothers, Sethosis and Armais. Sethosis was king in Egypt and possessed a great army and a powerful fleet. He departed on a campaign to Cyprus and Phoenicia, and against the Assyrians, but in his absence his brother Armais, in collusion with the queen, put on the royal diadem.(5 ) Attempting to substantiate his theory that the 19th Dynasty is the same as the 26th, Velikovsky identified Armais with Horemhab and Sethosis with Psammetich-Seti. In so doing he appears to have taken four distinct personalities and proposed ...
169. The Bible as History? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... approaches, one postulating gaps and interregna to harmonise Judaean and Israelite records, the other utilising coregencies to shorten especially Judaean history. Clearly something has to be done to marry Judaean and Israelite chronologies with those of Assyria and Babylon on the following demonstration: fixed point A: Ahab fights in battle of Qarqar 853 BC, fixed point B: Assyrian capture of Samaria in 723 or 722 BC, resulting in an interval of 130 or 131 years according to Assyrian chronology, but... Israelite reign lengths Ahaziah to Hoshea total 157 years (or 148 years if inclusively antedated), and Judaean reign lengths are considerably greater! Hughes takes a careful look at the commonly postulated coregencies ...
170. An Answer to Hickman [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... in a chronology without first establishing whether this was a valid time span. Ezekiel, from age 25, was a prisoner in Babylon, cut off from the Temple records in Jerusalem. He relied on information from others, as can be seen from his account. In order to support this expanded chronology Hickman proposes an additional king in the Assyrian list to fill in the Assyrian/Hebrew chronological gap. His understanding and chronology are in trouble- with or without the "missing" Assyrian king. "The First Step" Hickman says "The first step is to establish a starting date for our chronology." This would be fine if it is an actual date and not ...
