... the Book of Judges by some 530+ years. The figure of 480 may or may not be Deuteronomic in origin, but it appears to be an independent calculation- an approximation of year formulae derived from the annual records of a religious festival associated with a cult sanctuary such as Gilgal or Beth-el. Certainly, Semitic peoples such as the Assyrians appear to have left for posterity a succession of yearly accrued date formulae, like the annual appointment of limmu officials and the precisely recorded reign lengths of the king lists. Hence the period from Exodus to Solomon was probably very nearly 480 years, unless proven otherwise. The actual incidents placed within those 480 years, the time of the ...
172. Palestinian Archaeology and a Ramesses VI-Shishak Identification [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . almost the end of the reign of Jeroboam II. So some down-dating at Megiddo already seems indicated: presumably the foundation of IVA should go down to Jehoash at the very earliest. Furthermore, the yardstick at Samaria seems itself in need of recalibration downwards. For the later strata this is indicated by the presence of the relatively recent down-dated Assyrian Palace Ware and by the necessity to account for Sargon II's reconstruction here (Bimson 1982:21f.). For the earlier strata this is indicated by historical plausibility, as well as by a consideration of the origin of the accepted dates. One historical difficulty for the accepted chronology is quite apparent from Wightman's assertion (1985:125 ...
173. Early History of the Israelite People: Biblical Fundamentalism in History (I) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , he most convincingly argues, Israelite history will simply be caught in the trap of circular reasoning: biblical dates will be supported by biblical dates. Does Thompson's own work live up to this decisive insight? To answer that question, we must look at the numerous dates he uses throughout his book without really questioning them. His own "Assyrian period of the [9th to 7th] centuries," (6 ) for example, is derived from biblical dates for Samaria or the "Northern Kingdom," as is his "Omride dynasty." which is set in the "early [9th] century." (7 ) But eponymous dates do not contain independent, ...
174. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... we then welcomed Gunnar Heinsohn who passed on greetings from that other great user of stratigraphy for unorthodox chronology, John Dayton. Gunnar liked the principles behind Tony's work, but now he turned to stratigraphy proper to support his theory that the Hyksos were none other than the Old Akkadians, and by implication of his own chronology, also the pre-Medish Assyrians of Herodotus. Those present were given a printed summary of Heinsohn's placement and identification of the Hyksos, with copious references and a very revealing stratigraphy-based synopsis of the conventional chronology from Egypt across to China with all the dark age' gaps marked for comparison. Gunnar opened by explaining his three basic principles when considering stratigraphy. Firstly, when ...
175. Aftermath of the Trojan War [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... by Hickman[2 ] and Sieff,[3 ] the catastrophe of 702 (Sennacherib, Hezekiah) has been moved back to 710[4 ] or even 713.[5 ] Thus there should be a redating of the Velikovskian catastrophes of the 8th century based on the new dates of the Hezekiah catastrophe and a redating of the Assyrian kings, the difference being 8 or 11 years. In this scheme the catastrophe behind the Trojan War should be that of 758 or 755, instead of 747. In Greek protohistory (or should I say mythologistory?) several heroes moved to Asia or Cyprus during or after the Trojan War. We hear, for example, of ...
176. Pharaoh Seti the Great and His Foreign Connections [Journals] [Kronos]
... exist, and so do the pyramids, coffins, cenotaphs, tombs, and temples. In this paper we shall be concerned with a pivotal and seldom discussed monument- the Cenotaph of Seti at Abydos. This monument is important for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the light it sheds upon relations between Egyptians and Assyrians. In the time of Seti, as specified in conventional chronology, no relations are assumed to exist between Seti and the Assyrians. Yet, we shall also find an unexpected relation between Plato's Timaeus and his cosmological dialogues, and the Book of Gates of Seti- that cosmological sequence found not only on Seti's alabaster sarcophagus but also in ...
... , (fig. l) is found on coins, medals, and ornaments anterior to the Christian era. It was on this cross that Christ is said to have been crucified, and thus it became accepted as the Christian cross. The Greek cross (fig, 2) with arms of equal length crossing at right angles found on Assyrian and Persian monuments and tablets, Greek coins and statues. St, Andrew's cross, Crux decussata, (fig. 3) is the same as the Greek cross, but turned to stand on two legs. Fig. 4. The Crux ansata (fig. 4) according to Egyptian mythology, was Ankh, the emblem of ...
178. Mitcham Replies [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... son of Gandash." That 5/6 generations of Kassites were all reigning in a six-year period is, to say the least, improbable. Here it should be noted that the application of what Dr. Courville calls the "principle of interpretation" with regard to the SC is inaccurate. He says "the SC names the ruling Assyrian king at the time each of the Sealand and Kassite kings began his reign." He offers this "principle of interpretation" as a quote from Pritchard. What Pritchard actually says is "the basic principle of arrangement is to mention within the same paragraph the names of the kings of one country who ascended the throne during the reign ...

... ff.): "Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The Lord will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?" He also told them to consider the fate of Samaria, whose gods did not save it when it was stormed by the Assyrians. He informed them that Sennacherib required pledges of submission and promised that they would be exiled to a land as good as their own. Hezekiah's emissaries were ordered not to enter into any dispute. Receiving no reply, Rab-sha-keh departed for Libna where King Sennacherib had gone from Lachish. The Ethiopian king Tirhakah came against Sennacherib out of the ...
180. On Language, Art, And Religion. Part I Ch.4 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... , p. 26, n. 3. Other quotations that follow are from the same article. [6 ] Wilson offers several examples to illustrate this. Art: Hunting Scenes Ramses III ordered his artists to decorate his edifices at Medinet Habu with hunting scenes as well as military ones. These hunting scenes show many features in common with Assyrian bas-reliefs depicting the royal game as executed by the artists of Assurbanipal and, before him, of Ashurnasirpal. "It is regularly assumed that the scenes of the Assyrian chase of the ninth-seventh centuries were inspired by the Egyptian scenes which served them as originals. Yet no proof for this was ever presented. The problem needs a thorough re-examination ...
