... for the catastrophist. Jill Abery, 1987 Gunnar Heinsohn's Mesopotamian Historiography [Sumerians and Akkadians Never Existed - from the Ghost Empires of the Textbooks to the Reconstruction of Real Historiography in the "Cradle of Civilization", Southern Mesopotamia (1986)] In his plan for the reconstruction of Mesopotamian chronology, Gunnar Heinsohn shows every sign of doing for Assyrian and Chaldean history what Velikovsky did for Egyptian and Hebrew history. His treatment of what, at the best of times, can be an extremely confusing subject is both lucid and logical. The first part of the work sets out clearly the problems and contradictions inherent in the accepted chronology. In the second section these problems are dealt with ...
182. Some Ideas for Further Investigation [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Sieff should be right, Taharqa was already king in 710. We may conclude that we can, in that case, tolerate a difference of only 3 years for the reigns of the kings from Taharqa to Necho II. It seems that the appointment of Taharqa by his father had a connection with his Palestinian policy- or should I write Assyrian policy? (3 ) Piankhy mentions a King Iuput in Thentremu and Taan and Osorkon in Bubastis.[12] Can't they be identified with Osorkon I, who probably ruled in Tanis and Bubastis?[13] His brother, the priest Iuput, who under Osorkon's father already seems to have played a political role,[14 ...
183. Pul and Tiglath-Pileser III - A Response to Jonsson [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... FORUM Pul and Tiglath-Pileser III - A Response to Jonsson by Brad Aaronson In the Jerusalem Chronology of the Israelite Monarchies (JCIM) [1 ], I argued that the combination of biblical and Assyriological evidence suggested that a king, known in the Bible as Pul', reigned immediately before Tiglath-Pileser III and that this king was eliminated from the Assyrian records for political reasons. I may have made a mistake in bringing in the Greek legends of Sardanapalus to illuminate the possible historical background and to provide additional motivation for the damnatio memorae perpetrated against this king. I continue to maintain that the story of Sardanapalus contains elements of the historical Pul; however the Greek tales are no more than ...
184. Hammurabi and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... were contemporaries. An oath was sworn by the life of these two kings in the tenth year of Hammurabi, The finds at Mari "proved conclusively that Hammurabi came to the throne in Babylonia after the accession of Shamshi-Adad I in Assyria".(7 ) Shamshi-Adad I could not have reigned in the twenty-first century since there exist lists of Assyrian kings which enable us to compute regnal dates. Being compilations of later times, it is admitted by modern research that "the figures in king lists are not infrequently erroneous".(8 ) But in 1932 a fuller and better-preserved list of Assyrian king names was found at Khorsabad, capital of Sargon II. Published ten years later ...
185. Scarab in the Dust: Egypt in the Time of the Twenty-First Dynasty [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... ruled in Egypt after the fall of the Nineteenth Dynasty is identified as Uzziah/Azariah, King of Judah, c. 770-760 B.C ., with Ramses III of the Twentieth Dynasty ruling 750-720 and Ramses IV, his son- being the pharaoh in Jewish tradition who was captured by Sennacherib but then freed at the destruction of the Assyrian army outside Jerusalem- at 710 on this model. This conclusion is dramatically supported by the Ramesside star table on the tomb roofs of Ramses IV and IX, which can be identified with this catastrophic event. [5 ] In a further article [6 ] I then developed dates of 780-660 B.C . for the Twenty-second ( ...
186. Site Stratification: is it a Sound Methodology? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... buildings upon the ruins of earlier cities or buildings without first excavating - a process which would eliminate earlier strata'. I suggested that no sane ancient engineer would have built a major building without first excavating to remove the rubble of earlier buildings. Without a solid foundation, buildings would sag or collapse in relatively short order. I cited numerous Assyrian inscriptions that demonstrated that it was customary to remove dirt and rubble down to the foundations before rebuilding. Despite common sense and contrary inscriptions, modern archaeology nevertheless postulates that the ancients regularly built over earlier ruins to explain the supposed layers' identified at various digs. The concept of site stratification is regularly employed not only by conventional archaeologists and ...
187. An Eighth-Century Date for Merenptah? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... latter certainly referring to his victory over the Libyans in his 5th year, the same event recounted at length in the "Israel stele" [2 ]. The reference to the seizing of Gezer in the "Israel stele" in conjunction with the victory over Libya must refer to the same event - Merenptah's capture of Gezer, not an Assyrian one as Bimson argues. Furthermore, it should be borne in mind that if, as Bimson supposes, the invaders are the Assyrians, Merenptah would certainly have no cause to rejoice over it! In the 8th century BC Egypt and Assyria were deadly rivals, and any Assyrian invasion of Palestine, reaching as far as the very doorstep ...
188. Velikovsky's Sources Volume One [Books]
... nor were they dead in battle"(22:2 ), but then neither are they slain because of a fearsome thing' up in the sky. Indeed, nowhere in the Book of Isaiah is such a thing' ever mentioned, and according to Peake's Commentary the people are on the rooftops "perhaps watching the retreat of the Assyrians or some spectacle in the streets." As for the dead not being slain by the sword etc, this, again according to Peake, simply refers to dishonourable deaths. Actually, a little later in WIC (p .256), V does postulate a link between political unrest and his catastrophic scenario, but sees the former ...
189. Ages in Chaos versus the 'New Chronologies' of Rohl and James [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the sky and a great draught of hot air that sucked Elijah into eternity. This was followed by a great tribulation' and, whatever it was, it made Mesha, king of Moab on the other side of the Jordan river, sacrifice his son in abject fear of what his god Chemosh was about to unleash. At this moment Assyrian empire created by Shalmaneser III fell to pieces and there was rebellion and food riots in the city of Ashur. In Israel, Jehu bloodily usurped the throne and murdered Jezebel and all the children of the House of Omri - over 70 people. What had happened to call for such drastic actions? Why was it thought that Yahweh, ...
190. Early Attempts At Rationalizing. Ch.2 To Know And Not To Know (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... catastrophe took place on the twenty-third of March, -687 of the Julian calendar.[4 ] This was the night the army of Sennacherib was destroyed by a "blast", according to the Scriptures and the old Midrashim. But Herodotus heard from the Egyptians that when their king Sethos went with a weak army to Palestine to confront the Assyrians and their king Sennacherib, a multitude of field mice invaded the Assyrian camp during the night and gnawed away the strings of their bows so that the army, now disarmed, fled. Herodotus also added: "And at this day a stone statue of the king (Sethos) stands in Hephaestus' temple, and a mouse in ...
