... day of the month Artemisius, [Jyar,] when they demolished a great part of it, as well as they did of the northern parts of the city, which had been demolished also by Cestius formerly. 3. And now Titus pitched his camp within the city, at that place which was called "the Camp of the Assyrians," having seized upon all that lay as far as Cedron, but took care to be out of the reach of the Jews' darts. He then presently began his attacks, upon which the Jews divided themselves into several bodies, and courageously defended that wall; while John and his faction did it from the tower of Antonia ...
302. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Roth started by reading the beginning of a proposed chronology for Israelite history by Keith Le Flem. This was based on a date, counting back from 721, of 1471 BC for the Exodus. Salitis of Dynasty XV would be equated with Ounas of Dynasty V, telescoping Old and Middle Kingdoms. Joseph would be contemporary with Dynasty XII. Assyrian and Hebrew calendars could not be precisely aligned. Eponym lists were doctored to increase their length. Commenting on these ideas, Gunnar Heinsohn said that Salitis was one of the Hyksos or Old Akkadians, whose end coincided with a natural disaster during the Middle to Late Bronze Age. According to Bietak, pumice from this time was used for ...
... to the Sun, or male principle, being circular ; those sacred to the Moon, Earth, or passive principle, square; those in which the two were jointly recognised, octangular, or the circle and square in combination.9 It seems more than probable that the crux ansata observed in the hands of the representations of Egyptian and Assyrian divinities, is the conjoined symbol of the two principles, slightly modified from the natural emblems, and a figure which there is good reason to suppose is symbolical, nearly corresponding with the sacred Tau, which occurs in the Palenquan temples, may yet be found to have a like significance. The Mexican "Tree of Life" had ...
304. The Ring of Truth by Isaac Vail [Books]
... the Deity? The answer to this question must also answer the former question; what waters did the Spirit move upon? That is, if we locate the Deity of primitive man, we locate the waters also. I presume there is not a man who knows anything at all of the great world's primitive thought, whether ancient Hebrew, Assyrian, Iranian, Egyptian, Indian, Grecian, Roman, Celtic, or American, that does not know that the chief deity of all ancient peoples dwelt on high and in the heavens. Most emphatically this was the case of the ancient Hebrews who eventually called their Deity the Most High God- the God of the highest heaven. ...
305. The Solar Eclipse of Mursilis II [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... 2 April 805. If one were to choose between the two, the latter appears preferable. In the annals of Mursilis' ninth year, [19] the year prior to the eclipse, he records the following: The king of Assur conquered the land of Carchemish. From the Sheik Hammad Stela [20] one of the four Assyrian inscriptions concerning Adad-nirari III's western campaign in his fifth year (806), [21] we find the following: I called out [my chariotry] (and) infantry, [and gave command to march] to Hatti. I crossed the Euphrates in its spate . . . and descended [to Paqarhu]buna. Atarshumki ...

... was chosen by the Hyksos king Salatis for use as a major defensive base: e.g . He had: ". .. his seat at Memphis, levying tribute from Upper and Lower Egypt, and always leaving garrisons behind in the most advantageous positions. Above all, he fortified the district to the East. Foreseeing that the Assyrians, as they grew stronger, would one day covet and attack his kingdom...he found a city very favourably situated...he rebuilt and strongly fortified it with walls and established a garrison there numbering as many as 240,000 armed men to protect his frontier..." 1 From this excerpt alone, ...

308. A Time of Pestilence and a Shaking of the Earth [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History VII:2 (July 1985) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION A Time of Pestilence and a Shaking of the Earth P. Clapham The Assyrian and Babylonian king-lists, together with numerous building and dedicatory inscriptions, the annals of kings, and the chronicles, neutralize the revision of history as required by Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos or the Glasgow Conference. Lately, in the SIS Workshop [I ] a new scheme has been suggested in which the biblical Shishak is identified with Ramses II. Even so short a revision remains problematical in relation to the king-lists and chronicles, and interconnections between the Hittites, Kassites, and Egyptians (court correspondence, treaties ...

... article. He says he has "never understood the need for double-dating (649/48), to impress the reader" (Schlecker, p. 106). Accusing scholars for using this convention "to impress the reader" is almost ridiculous. On the contrary, it is a very common, simple and convenient way of expressing Assyrian or Babylonian regnal years, and there are certainly no scholars who apply this usage for any other purpose. As the first month of the Babylonian calendar year, Nisan, fell in the Spring (about March/April), a regnal year covered parts of two years in our calendar. A common convention for expressing a specific regnal ...
310. The Lion Gate At Mycenae Revisited [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Circles and those seen on Neo-Hittite relief sculpture some 6-7 centuries later in date [88]. To the Greeks, lions, composite beasts and other fabulous creatures initially derived from other artistic traditions. In the case of the lion, the model for this animal can often be identified with precision: [it] is first Hittite and later Assyrian in form' [89]. Nancy Sandars actually compared the sculpture of the Lion Gate to that of the Hittite lions which guarded the gate at Hattusa and even speculated that the former may have been perhaps learnt from Anatolian masons' [90]. Sandars was, of course, thinking in terms of a 13th century BC date ...
