... Genesis [8 ]. But What of the Akkadian Influence? One of the main reasons why modern Biblical scholars cling to the theory that the Book of Genesis, in the main, was written around the period of the Babylonian Exile [9 ], hundreds of years after Moses' death, is because parts of the book contain clear Assyrian and Babylonian elements. Assyriologists have rightly concluded that some parts of Genesis must have originated in a period when the Israelites (or Hebrews) were connected closely with Mesopotamia. As is well known, according to the Bible there were two periods during which the Israelites were in immediate contact with Mesopotamia: the first in the time of the ...
202. The Nature of the Historical Record [Journals] [SIS Review]
... literary part of this heritage comprised the Old and New Testaments and enough of the works of the most important Greek and Latin authors to provide at least an outline, and sometimes even more, of the history of the ancient world from the Greek struggle for independence against the Persians early in the fifth century BC. Unfortunately, the Egyptian, Assyrian and Babylonian sources for the period before the fifth century were lost as the languages in which they were written fell first into disuse, then into oblivion, as Greek and Latin became the common means of communication among civilised men in the hellenised Roman Empire. Much of the cultural heritage of these peoples was translated into Greek and Latin and ...
203. Recent Developments In Near Eastern Archaeology. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... sees the Iron IIA destructions (ends of Str. V & IV) as caused not by Shishak c. 925 BC but by the Aramaeans (Ben-Hadad, Hazael) in the mid to late 9th century (p . 1340, n. 9). (For NC the end of Iron IIA destructions should probably be attributed to the Assyrians in the later 8th century.) Despite Mazar's downdating, his results seem to conflict with those of Gilboa and Sharon (below) who set the beginning of Iron IIA as late as c. 880-850 BC, which would leave only a short period for the whole of Iron IIA (say 870-830 if Mazar's end date is accepted) ...
204. The Stratigraphy of Israel [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... some of these overlaps. Next I want to look at some individual sites; Jerusalem, Jericho, Ai, Shechem, Shiloh, Samaria, and Megiddo. Most of these will support my contention that the Judges Period is set in Middle Bronze; but Samaria and Megiddo will relate particularly to the Iron Age and the stratigraphic position of the Assyrians. Jerusalem There has been a lot of excavation at sites in and around Jerusalem but it is all rather bitty and I have not yet got properly to grips with it. I will just describe one aspect that fits in well with the Bible and with my scheme although it does not rule out other schemes. In the period of ...
205. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... that in hastening to Velikovsky's defence Mr Sweeney is either unaware of, or has omitted to refer to, this particular paper along with others such as that by Carl Olof Jonson, "Nebuchadrezzar and Neriglissar, A Critique of the Revision of the Neo-Babylonian Succession" (SIS Review III:4 , pp.93-97). Also should Velikovsky's Assyrian Conquest ever be published I think Mr Sweeney would be most disappointed. It does not seem to support (draft as it stood in 1977) his hopes. Smenkhkare fled and tried to raise Egypt's neighbours - Ethiopia and Libya [but not Assyria - ed.]. Neither does there appear to be any suggestion that Ay fled after ...
206. Bet Shulman [Journals] [Kronos]
... names of kings of Israel and Judah; Shelemiah; Shelomi; Shelomith (or Shulamit), for whom Velikovsky named one of his daughters; and Shelemoth. Outside of the Bible, we find this theophoric name adopted by Shalamanu, King of Moab.(10) It also appears as Shalmaneser, a name borne by more than one Assyrian king. Perhaps less known is the fact that Salummati was an epithet of the great Assurnasirpal.(11) As a god, Shulman was worshipped in Nineveh and under the variant Shulmanuha or Shulmanuhi, is found mentioned in Assyrian tablets.(12) Shulman is known to have had a feminine counterpart named Shulmanitu(13) - ...
207. The Libyans in Egypt: Resolving the Third Intermediate Period [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Twentieth Dynasty yielding approximately 715-685 B.C . dates for Pharaoh Ramses III.[4 ] On my model Ramses III reigned 750-720. Can such dating for the Twentieth Dynasty, and for Uzziah and his successors in Judah, fit into a 780-660 placement for the Twenty-Second Dynasty? The Twenty-Second Dynasty is not devoid of cross-references with biblical and Assyrian history, tantalizing though they sometimes are. Let us see how well the pieces of the jigsaw fit. The Coming of the Libyans David Rohl [5 ] set us on excellent ground by identifying, from Josephus and Manetho, Hermaeus (59 years), Sethos (59 years), Rampses (66 years), and Amenophis ...
208. 'Worlds in Collision' After Heinsohn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... are alter egos of each other is most bewildering [22]. Some Mesopotamian kings are dated by correspondence with Egypt, others by using Abraham's Ur of the Chaldees' in Genesis as a third-millennium anchor and yet others using traditional Biblical dates for the Divided Kingdom as a -9/ -8th century anchor. Many of the famous Babylonian and Assyrian kings from the Bible turn out in Heinsohn's account to be alter egos of Persian kings mentioned by Herodotus and later Greek writers, so his dates ultimately have Greek historians as their source. Yet one must also note that the Hebrews called Achaemenids (e .g . Darius) King of Assyria' [Assur in Hebrew] (Ezra ...
209. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... proposed and developed by Naaman (pp. 122-128). He argues that the whole northern Israel destruction horizon, formerly attributed to Shishak, should be seen as the work of the Arameans - a downdating of over 100 years! This is at least half way to the New Chronology scenario which would see the destruction as the work of the Assyrians in the second half of the 8th century. Lachish Ussishkin also led the excavations at Lachish which largely finished in 1987 but since then some further work has been done in order to prepare the site for tourism. In TA 23 (1996 pp. 3-60) a final(?) preliminary report appeared covering the period from 1985 to ...
210. Ankylosis in the Chronology of Reconstructed History? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 3 No 2 (Oct 1980) Home | Issue Contents Ankylosis in the Chronology of Reconstructed History?by Christoph Marx During a course on "Elements of Assyrian and Babylonian Chronology"(1 ), I took the opportunity to look at the fact that most of the chronologies around the Mars catastrophes have been linked to the date of 15th. June, -763, the day of a solar eclipse mentioned in the Eponym Lists (2 ). These again have been linked to Greek and Roman chronology by way of the Ptolemaic Canon of Babylonian kings, "the correctness of which is proved by the lunar eclipses mentioned in the Almagest" (3 ...
