... Dynasty. Velikovsky's chronology reduces the dates for this dynasty by some five and a half centuries. The revised dates required for Thutmose III, as worked out provisionally by Geoffrey Gammon, are 949-895 BC (SISR II:3 , 1977-8, pp. 90-4). Thus the early Egyptian and Mitannian glazes from his reign date immediately before the Assyrian examples from the reign of Ashurnasirpal II; i.e . the "first crude attempts to glaze clay" (p . 394), conventionally dated to the 15th century, and the similarly crude Assyrian clay glazes of the early 9th century, are all seen to attest the beginnings of the technique. On this view, there ...
212. The "Herculean Labor" Of Cecilia Gaposchkin. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... Three grave offenses crowded into one single episode in my book. So let us quote pages 230-31 of Worlds in Collision: The destruction of the army of Sennacherib is described laconically in the Book of Kings: "And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a "hundred fourscore and five thousand; and when the people arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt in Nineveh." It is similarly described in the Book of Chronicles: "And the prophet Isaiah, the son of ...
213. Open Forum, chaired by David Fairbairn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , all this sort of stuff. (in response to an unintelligible question) This idea that the 6th Dynasty kings, Pepi I and Pepi II, might be Hyksos, they were Apopi I and Apopi II, so that 1000 or 800 years supposedly separating those two dynasties needs to go. Q: It seems to me that the Assyrian King List is a classic example of creative history. The Assyrian Kings Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal were almost certainly treated to exactly the same address from the Egyptian priests: you people are children compared to the Egyptians, look at our king lists, 300 kings, and I don't think it went down very well, and I'm pretty sure that ...
214. Letter to the Editor from Christoph Marx [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History II:2 (Jun 1980) Home | Issue Contents Letter to the Editor Christoph Marx Editor, C&AH: During a course on Assyrian and Babylonian Chronology1 I took a closer look at this fact: that most of the chronologies around the Mars catastrophes have been linked to the date of 15/6 /763 B.C ., the day of a solar eclipse mentioned in the eponym lists. 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,"2 and through the Babylonian ...
215. The Hyksos (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... a dynasty of Hyksos pharaohs; that the first of these kings, named Salitis or Salatis, resided in Memphis and "exacted tribute from Upper and Lower Egypt, and left garrisons in the places most suited for defence. In particular he secured his eastern flank" to protect the realm from the north, as "he foresaw that the Assyrians, as their power increased in the future, would covet and attack his realm".37 There, to the east of the Delta, King Salitis discovered a favorably situated place called Auaris, a strategic point from which to control both Egypt and Syria. He rebuilt and strongly fortified it with walls, and established a garrison there ...
216. A Chronological Note on the Kassites [Journals] [Aeon]
... , in the Royal Cemetery, other arches a thousand years and more older than this, but in the winter of 1924 we could hail our discovery as one which revolutionized the history of architecture.(10) This author tends to identify the vassal graves of Ur's Royal Cemetery, with their products of Hyksos and Mitanni times (Herodotus' Assyrians and Medes of Histories I:95),(11) as graves of the seventh century BCE; thus their arches would belong where Taylor put those of Kurigalzu. It is Sir leonard Woolley, by the way, who described how he learned to turn away from archaeological evidence discovered in situ to meet the conditions of a preconceived ...
217. The Archangels, Part 2 Mars Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... that it was the planet Mars which caused the destruction of the army of Sennacherib in the spring of -687 is implied also by rabbinical sources: Since the Archangel Gabriel is another name for the planet Mars, the ancient Jews knew the origin of the "blast" and the identity of "the angel of the Lord" who destroyed the Assyrian army. Gabriel is the angel appointed over fire; he is also, according to Origen,8 the angel of war. Thus we again recognize in him Mars-Nergal. The rabbinical tradition says that the Assyrians of the host of Sennacherib, before they died, were permitted by Ga briel to hear "the song of the celestials, ...
218. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Achaemenids – A Test of Beards' (C &C Review 2004:1 ) [incorporating C&C Workshop 2004:2 ]. Unfortunately, Palmer bases his attempted refutation of Gunnar Heinsohn's shorter chronology for Mesopotamia on a misunderstanding of Heinsohn's work. Dr. Heinsohn has never identified the Neo-Assyrians as Persian. He identifies the Neo-Assyrians as Assyrians of the Persian period, with their Persian overlords portrayed in Assyrian garb and using Assyrian throne names. Similarly, Heinsohn holds that Neo-Babylonians and Old Babylonians are Babylonians of the Persian period, with the Persian overlords portrayed in Babylonian garb and using Babylonian throne names. It is not surprising, therefore, that Assyrians, Babylonians and Persians might ...
219. The Tang-I Var Inscription [Journals] [SIS Review]
... '. The question posed there appears to sum up the dilemma of the traditional chronologists when faced by this inscription: How do we explain the reference to Shabataka (Shebiktu) in an inscription of Sargon II discovered at Tang-I Var and dated by Assyriologist, Grant Frame, to 706 B.C ? The Tang-I Var relief also records an Assyrian campaign against Karalla - a land in the Zagros Mountains that, as Frame shows, can only be dated to Sargon II's Regnal Yr. 16, and the celebrations that marked the completion of the new Assyrian capital of Dur-Sarrukin (i .e . Khorsabad, Iran) that, according to the eponym chronicles, occurred on the Sixth ...
220. A Question of Logic [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , Hazael, Tushratta, and Mattiwaza (the patricide Mitanni prince) all lived during the times of both Akhnaton and Tirhaka. This promotes an absurd situation that leads to or from other unreasonable suppositions: That the letter from the widow of Tutankhamun now becomes a letter from the widow of Tirhaka; That the King of Hatti is two consecutive Assyrian kings,7 when in fact the Hittite King Suppiluliumas I fits the requirements of such an identification. A Suspect Association The confusion of this era is aggravated by the identification of the kings of the Nineteenth and Twenty-sixth Dynasties as one and the same.8 This identification stems from a misquotation. Velikovsky claims to identify Sethos (Seti) ...
