... . First and foremost is that to date only four royal titles of Tirhaka are known. This is extraordinary because the kings of the 18th and 19th Dynasties regularly possessed two or three dozen names. Ramesses II, for example, had 33 Horus names alone. Now, it may be that Tirhaka, the only pharaoh ever to defeat an Assyrian army, was so humble that he only used four royal epithets; but it is certainly more likely that he used many more, and that these have simply not been discovered. In my book Legacy of Akhnaton I have presented ample evidence to show that Tirhaka did employ many more names, and that, among other things, he ...
282. Were the "Sumerians of the Third Millennium" in Reality the Chaldeans of the First Millennium? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , 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 ...
283. The Year Of 360 Days, Part 2 Mars Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... of the new moon. How agreement with astronomical reality was effected, we do not know. The practice of an intercalary pe riod is not yet known."17 It appears that in the seventh century five days were added to the Babylonian calendar; they were regarded as unpropitious, and people had a superstitious awe of them. The Assyrian year consisted of 360 days; a decade was called a sarus; a sarus consisted of 3,600 days.18 "The Assyrians, like the Babylonians, had a year composed of lunar months, and it seems that the object of astrological reports which relate to the appearance of the moon and sun was to help to determine ...
284. Notes Concerning the "Outline of the 1st Millennium B.C. Following Immanuel Velikovsky's Reconstruction of Ancient History" [Journals] [Pensee]
... ., during which the 18th Dynasty of Egypt and the United Kingdom of David and Solomon rose to power and glory simultaneously, then Thutmose III extended Egyptian hegemony over neighboring Palestine, and finally Egyptian power waned under the excesses of the El Amarna pharaohs and the rising might of Shalmanasser III of Assyria. Volume II, which Velikovsky calls "Assyrian Conquest," describes the period of Assyrian supremacy in the ancient Middle East, circa 830-612 B.C ., during which occurred the catastrophes which are described in Part II of Worlds in Collision, as well as the ends of the Mycenaean, Minoan, and Phrygian (or Trojan) eras. The Assyrian period terminated with the ...
285. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... MB (see my letter in Workshop 1992:1 , p. 44). Sweeney's article Menelaos in Egypt' (pp. 21-23) also lacked accuracy. In the first line, for first Greeks to reach Egypt' substitute first Greeks to settle in Egypt'. In the first paragraph Psammetichus is portrayed as wresting Egypt from the Assyrians. On the contrary, he was probably allied with them (CAH 3 Pt2, pp. 711, 714). In the second column of the first page it should be noted that Mycenaean contacts with Egypt are generally thought to have begun in the mid-18th Dynasty, not from the beginning of it as Sweeney says, because Crete ...

287. Centuries of Darkness? - a Challenge to the Conventional Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from the historical record at the end of the 12th century and just as mysteriously reappears at the end of the 9th, with no evidence of discontinuity at Elamite sites in Iran! It must be admitted, however, that the proposed chronological revision creates a major problem with the chronology of Mesopotamia, which has not yet been satisfactorily resolved. Assyrian king lists from the 9th and 8th centuries purport to give a continuous sequence of kings from the 15th century onwards. One can question the reliability of a chronology of rulers compiled several centuries later, but much of the contemporary inscriptional material of the kings in the lists appears to confirm the sequence, if not the actual reign lengths attributed ...

... be dealt with in subsequent paragraphs. It is deemed desirable first to present the evidence that the SC is correct and reliable in its correlations of the Sealand kings and Kassite dynasties with the rulers of Assyria. The document known as the Synchronous History (hereafter SH) refers to a king Puzur-Ashur between references to incidents in the reigns of the Assyrian kings Ashur-bel-nisisu and Ashur-uballit, [12] numbers 69 and 73 in the Khorsabad King List (hereafter KKL). There is no king by this name in this position in the KKL. The reference is obviously to Puzur-Ashur III (61) and has been so recognized. [13] The SC has this king, Puzur-Ashur III ...
289. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... been mistaken when I wrote in C&CR 1997:2 (pp. 30-31) that Pharaoh Necho had been on his way to attack Assyria when he encountered and slew King Josiah of Judah at Megiddo (II Kings 23:29-30, II Chronicles 35:20-24). It seems more probable that Necho's intention was to assist the Assyrians against the Babylonians (his Dynasty having had earlier Assyrian support), despite what is actually written in II Kings, an aim which would probably not have been approved by Josiah [cf. 1]. Josiah was essentially orthodox and looks to have been somewhat stubborn and old-fashioned, despite his comparative youth (39 at death); ...
290. Cushan Rishathaim [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the country. Not much more than this can be said when the injustices he is claimed to have wrought are cast in such a formulaic type of statement. Formulaic form alone, however, is insufficient ground upon which to invalidate historical potential. Parallels for formulaic type statements given for historical events can be found in both the Annals of the Assyrian kings and the Chronicles of the Babylonian kings.1 The situation is somewhat similar to that which obtains for Gen. 14. Most of the other ethnic groups and toponyms in Gen. 12 to 50 are generally recognizable even though we may not have knowledge of specific individuals. But the campaign of the kings from the east comes like ...
