... recent study shows that the confrontation between Psammetichus and the Scythians must be dated no earlier than 633 BC (18), i.e . the 32nd year of Psammetichus. Velikovsky has sought a further link between Psammetichus and Seti I, stating that both employed mercenary troops from Sardis in Asia Minor (19). It is known from Assyrian sources that Psammetichus was sent troops by Gyges of Lydia (cf. Herodotus, II.152), but it cannot be established with any certainty that Seti I employed soldiers from that region. Velikovsky states that the fighters referred to as "Sherden" in Egyptian records were mercenaries from Sardis (20), and this is certainly ...
232. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Geometric designs' (p . 27). To the main area of Khabur ware in Mesopotamia she notes the following: Khabur Ware is represented within an area defined by the Ushnu-Solduz valley to the east, the Zab river to the south, and the Balikh river to the west, and its distribution is seen as matching that of the Assyrian realm and its closest commercial contacts' (ibid. p. 28 - emphasis added). This author claims that Hyksos strata (including Alalakh VII) with their Khabur Ware - which immediately precedes Mitanni or Late Bronze Age strata in Levant/Egypt - are contemporary with the Sargonic old-Akkadian Khabur Ware strata in Mesopotamia's Assyrian realm. The ...
233. Were the "Sumerians of the Third Millennium" in Reality the Chaldeans of the First Millennium? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... mention them, in the 9th century B.C . Sargon II' says of them: To keep the "feet" of the Kaldu, the evil enemy, within the land of Sumer [correctly land of the sea] and Akkad, I summoned numerous weapons" (Edzard, 292). And it is not only the Assyrians from whom we receive repeated reports of the Kaldu south of Babylon. The authors Herodotus, Berossus, Strabo- who knew Ur as Orchoe, and Ptolemy, too, all writing in Greek, tell of Chaldeans to the south of Babylonia. The dimensions of this Chaldean empire are known from the description- possibly exaggerated, but certainly ...
234. Osarsiph [Journals] [Kronos]
... Libyan domination. In the conventional scheme the versions of Manetho and Lysimachus refer to two different periods, separated by five hundred years - the fourteenth and the eighth centuries. The revised chronology places the events in the same general time - the late ninth or eighth centuries B.C . One other historical event may have influenced Manetho's tale the Assyrian occupation of Egypt. The foreigners coming from Asia and ruining the country have some resemblance to the Assyrian overlords whose destructive acts are so graphically described in the cuneiform texts. Like the Amarna kings, the Assyrian overlords were expunged from official history, but they lived on in popular legend. REFERENCES 1. This is a view expressed by ...
235. The Cosmic Double Helix [Journals] [Aeon]
... connotations and dependence on art history. The central rod of the caduceus could originally have been a staff used to carry the winged disc around. As d'Alviella notes: "It is worth while remarking that the Winged Globe was sometimes borne as a standard at the end of a staff...in the manner of the Caduceus and the Assyrian ensign." [63] In close adherence to Macrobius, d'Alviella further believed that the winged disc was designed to represent the sun, although he acknowledged that the natural sun hardly looks like the winged disc: "Did the Egyptians imagine that the sun- or the soul of the sun- really assumed the form of a globe ...
236. Early History of the Israelite People by TL Thompson [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... is not all .. .. he makes the point that during the 9th and 8th centuries BC, Israel and Judah were petty kingdoms of little significance, largely confined to marginal zones of settlement. This view is of course derived from a literal interpretation of conventional archaeology of the period. He goes on to say that prior to the Assyrian empire period and the reign of Sennacherib, Jerusalem was little more than a regional market town. It benefited from the demise of Lachish and due to cooperation with Assyria it grew into a large regional capital of southern Palestine. However, he claims Jerusalem came only to real prominence in the Persian period when, after the Exile, the ...
237. Velikovsky and His Heroes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 1940s. His conflicting attitudes towards Elijah and Isaiah may be explained in part by the different national policies of these two prophets. Elijah prophesies destruction upon the land, whereas Isaiah eventually promised deliverance in his time. Elijah was commanded to anoint Hazael, king of Syria, for his terrible judgement on Israel. Isaiah counselled national resistance against the Assyrian attacks. Velikovsky's touchstone is not the message of the prophets, but their actions for the people. For him, the history of Israel was a period of strong upwards struggle towards monotheism of a people towards their God [31] - in other words, it is a national struggle. Monotheism is not something imposed upon the people ...
238. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... not invalidate the entire effort, especially where such defects are easily repaired. So far the Glasgow chronologists have not written a Theses of their own; we cannot even compare their overall scheme to Velikovsky's. And, of course, they have not written a four-volume series, either; so we cannot compared finished products. (Even though Velikovsky's Assyrian Conquest has not yet been published in book form, substantial portions of it - including an early version of the whole - have already been printed.) The approach of the Glasgow chronologists is to criticise details in the revised chronology. Even if they were correct about those details - which I certainly do not concede - their approach would ...
239. A further synchronism between Palestine and Egypt [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that the treaty with Hattusilis was dated to year 21 of Ramesses II but apparently only about year 5 of Hattusilis III [5 ]. Precise datings within this era are unfortunately still impracticable as there are some secondary corrections still called for. The basic scale of dates is that of the Kings of Judah, which is itself based on the Assyrian dates of Tiglath-Pileser III and his successors [6 ]. The dates of Joash are further affected by (a ) the alignment of the 680BC datum with the scale of the kings of Judah and (b ) the expected shrinkage' of the scale of the kings of Judah in the times of Joash, Ammaziah and Uzziah (if ...
240. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... The stela A4b linking Ura-Tarhunzas to a son of Suhis does not indicate to which Suhis it is referring. Although Hawkins assumed Suhis I, we are free to choose Suhis II. Then, by equating the two Great Kings Tudhaliya, a New Chronologist might come up with the following approximate scheme (vertical lines indicate father-son relationships): - Assyrians Kings Great Kings of Hatti Great Kings of Carchemish Country Lords of Carchemish Urhi-Teshub(=Mursilis III) Suhis I | Hattusilis III Ini-Teshub(=x-pa-zitis?) Astuwatamanzas | | | Tukulti-Ninurta II Tudhaliya IV Talmi-Teshub(=Ura-T.) Suhis II | | | Assurnasirpal II Suppiluliumas II Katuwas | (= Sangara??) Shalmaneser III ...
