... ] and re-adjusted their weights and measures in accordance with the Egyptian system [26]. Such a change implies strong Egyptian influence in Palestine, such as there was in the Amarna period; in Libyan times Egypt exercised no such power, and was itself broken up into numerous feudal districts. In Chapter VIII the theme is developed that the Assyrian king Shalmaneser III of the ninth century was a contemporary of Pharaoh Akhnaton, and the name Burraburiash, signed on his letters, is the Babylonian throne name of the Assyrian king, it being known that at Nineveh and at Babylon the kings of Assyro-Babylonia used different throne names; that, further, Shalmaneser received large quantities of art objects ...
222. Another Look at Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . The site is currently being excavated and two newly discovered cuneiform texts found there are addressed to the King of Kadesh (Peter James, SIS Review, Autumn, 1978,49). If one suggests that Velikovsky could not have known these facts, I offer Kadesh's location based on other cuneiform sources by B. Oded (" Two Assyrian References to Kadesh on the Orontes." Israel Exploration Journal, Vol. 14, 1964, 272f.) published fully 15 years before Velikovsky's death. This location for Kadesh also appears valid for the time of Thutmose III, and Jerusalem can, accordingly, be discounted as a contender; there were many holy places then, as ...
223. The Stratigraphical Chronology of Ancient Israel [Journals] [Aeon]
... ." (65) Thus, whereas the Joshua, Saul and David legends are archaeologically reflected in the 2nd pre-Hellenistic stratum (Late Bronze or Mitanni = Medish period), the legends concerning the later monarchical development can only find their place in the "Iron Age." This period, stratigraphically speaking, is contemporary with the "Middle Assyrians" in Northern Mesopotamia and the Amorites or Old-Babylonians in Southern Mesopotamia. These two "empires" had to be identified as the up-to-now archaeologically missing Persian Satrapies of "Assyria" ( i.e ., Strabo's Aturia) and Babylonia. (66) V. Absolute Dates and Stratigraphy Neither Macalister's nor the mainstream absolute date of ca ...
224. The Celestial Ship of North Vol II [Books]
... vessels in Hebrew ceremonies were called the "Nurses of God," when they were formed like breasts typical of Menka, the wet-nurse. The goddess Ishtar, the Babylonian Venus, whose emblem was the eight-rayed star, was goddess of the Seven Stars, and tie eighth was the promised seed, the child, type of Christ. An Assyrian tile deciphered by the late George Smith tells of the descent of Ishtar into Hades, forming a very beautiful allegory of the soul in search of the spirit. She was worshipped in the temples of Syria and Hierapolis, and on the head of her statue sits a golden Dove. She was one of the Fish-tailed goddesses, like Semiramis ...
225. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Four [Books]
... "Ishtar, to whom the prayer is offered (cf 1.106), is in this line (ie 1.3 ) and in 1.105 addressed by the title Irnini; in 1.12 she is addressed as Gutira. It is well known that in the course of time Ishtar was identified by the Babylonians and Assyrians with other goddesses, eg Ninni, Innana, Anunitum, and Belit, and when so identified she absorbed their names, titles and attributes. In these passages we have two additional instances of her identification with other deities" Now let us take a look at a rather fuller version of the prayer than that given by V on WIC ...
226. Sidelights on Velikovsky's 'Ages in Chaos' [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... after the death of Mattan-Baal's father – Baalazor- Shalmaneser III came to fight Hazael, the king of Damascus, at Mount Shenir opposite Lebanon." Originally my article, out of regard for the veracity of the royal secretaries quoted by the Bible, had said: "Two years before the death of Matan-Baal's father, Baaleser II, the Assyrian Shalmaneser III came down . . . to fight Hazael. . . ." This was because the Bible declares that Yehu became King of Israel in the year we number -842 (REC). However, out of Iraq came the report of a new affirmation by Shahmaneser, that Yehu paid him tribute shortly after his fight with Hazael ...
227. Discussion Comments From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... . I told him then- and repeat it now- that it is the strongest volume of the Ages in Chaos series. I believe it was a tactical error not to publish this book at the earliest possible moment, and certainly before Peoples of the Sea. But Velikovsky decided otherwise. The real question, however, is the The Assyrian Conquest. The appearance in KRONOS of several pieces from this manuscript does not constitute publication. Velikovsky's solution to the Assyrian problem cannot be properly evaluated until the entire hypothesis has been studied. Until the missing books appear in print, or until the manuscripts are made generally available for study, it is fair and accurate to say that Velikovsky ...

... branch of the Achaemenid family, died without leaving a son [4 ]. Sargon, who never reigned in Egypt and soon lost control of Babylon, ruled Assyria for only 16 years before being killed in battle in Anatolia That was taken as a sign of divine displeasure. FIG. 1 Relief from Khorsabad depicting Sargon II. Note the Assyrian square beard, and the dress with decorated fringes but no pleats. According to Sweeney, Sargon II was an alter ego of Darius I (see fig. 2). FIG. 2 Relief from Persepolis showing Darius I, seated, and wearing an Achaemenid pleated dress. Note that Darius' beard is tapered. Darius, in ...
229. An Alternative to the Velikovskian Chronology for Ancient Egypt [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... joint cartouches have been found on both monumental inscriptions and small artefacts, including some definite double-datings giving simultaneous regnal years of two monarchs (such as the Nile Level Texts at Kamak). Further proof of this pattern of multiple rule is provided by war annals from the end of the Third Intermediate Period (TIP) such as those of the Assyrian invader Assurbanipal and the Nubian king Piankhy. (3 ) The anomalies (from archaeological problems to the interpretation of genealogical material) that have come to light for the later periods of Egyptian history would be sufficient to fill a volume in their own right and serve to underline the need for a revision of TIP chronology, independently of the ...
230. On the Recent Discoveries Concerning Jupiter and Venus [Books] [de Grazia books]
... suppressed Herodotus's version of Sennacherib's defeat:] Herodotus gives a very different account of the defeat of Sennacherib's army, which does not suggest any catastrophe on a cosmic scale. [The passage in Herodotus is printed in Greek, and a translation follows it (Gaposchkin's dots):] Afterwards...Sennacherib, king of the Arabians and Assyrians, marched his vast army into Egypt.... As the two armies lay here opposite one another, there came in the night a multitude of field-mice, which devoured all the quivers and bowstrings of the enemy, and ate the thongs by which they managed their shields. Next morning they commenced their flight and great multitudes fell ...
