... the Hittite king Suppiluliumas I, who reigned in the 14th century (conventional chronology), was separated from Mursilis I by only seven generations, an 18th-century date for the latter seems unlikely. Similar problems arise over the 20th-century date postulated by Mellaart for Shamshi Adad I, which can be sustained only if one assumes a 200-year gap in the Assyrian King List for which there is not a shred of evidence. Mellaart goes on to point out that the accepted date of 3000 BC for the start of the Early Dynasty period in Mesopotamia, when juxtaposed with the date of 3100 BC for the beginning of the Jemdet Nasr period synchronised with the Egyptian First Dynasty, leaves only 100 years ...
332. Tree Symbols [Books]
... like the agave plant (Figure 46) could never have suggested a many-breasted mother deity. The plant itself was strangely transformed (Plate XVI, B) as a religious symbol. It was re-shaped to resemble an imported tree symbol of the mother goddess. In Codex Vaticanus B 40 (= Kingsborough 88), it resembles the highly conventionalised Assyrian "Tree of Life" (Figure 47), the "trunk" retaining the spiral symbols, and the curved protuberances on the upper branches suggesting the serpents of the Egyptian winged disc (Plate II), which on the Babylonian winged disc (introduced during the Kassite period from Egypt, or one of its dependencies became horns with ...
333. Dating the Great Mahabharata War: A Previously Neglected Clue [Journals] [Kronos]
... the dial of Ahaz. [Also see Isaiah 38: 6-8] The "dial of Ahaz" is itself a subject of scholarly differences of opinion. It seems clear, however, that a kind of sun dial/clock is intended, a mechanism with which Hezekiah's father, King Ahaz, presumably became acquainted during extensive contacts with the Assyrians.(6 ) The Hebrew word "ma'alot" literally means "steps", "rises"; it also means "degrees", as which it is translated in the passage from II KINGS cited above. If it represents a Hebrew technical term for a corresponding Assyro-Babylonian mathematical concept, "ma'alot" almost certainly signified- as ...

335. The Chronology of the Early Egyptian New Kingdom [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... and their reigns cannot be accommodated within a period of less than 200 years. When we reach Horemheb and the XIXth Dynasty, however, the positionis very different. While Dr. Courville makes Horemheb a full member of the XVIIIth Dynasty, Dr. Velikovsky interposes the so-called "Libyan" Dynasties XXII and XXIII and claims that Horemheb was an Assyrian vassal, appointed by Sennacherib after the latter's victory at the battle of Eltekeh in 702 B.C . in opposition to the Ethiopian XXVth Dynasty.2 Moreover, he equates Ramesses I, Seti I, Ramesses II, and Merenptah, the first rulers of Dynasty XIX, with Necho I, Psammetichus I, Necho II, and ...
336. Chapter 3 Astronomical Sothic Dating [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Nos. 1, 2, 3 that tablets from the 7th to the 5th centuries can be "precisely dated to a year, month and even a day by modern astronomers."16 James et al. go on to show: "Final confirmation of the whole canonical system comes from another astronomical fixed point, this time provided by Assyrian records. A solar eclipse is clearly referred to in the Eponym List for the month of Simanu in a year which must, according to the links with Ptolemy's Canon, have been 763 BC. The fundamental importance of this observation for ancient chronology was stressed by [P .] van der Meer [The Ancient Chronology of Western Asia ...
337. Introduction (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... mid-part intact. Intermediate volumes of the Ages in Chaos series (one of which, Ramses II and His Time, is in printer's proofs even now) deal with that mid-part, the ninth through sixth centuries. The extension of the originally planned Volume II of Ages in Chaos into four volumes, namely The Dark Age of Greece, The Assyrian Conquest, Ramses II and His Time, and Peoples of the Sea, could explain why no book by me appeared between 1961 and 1977. In apology I could draw attention to the new version of the Cambridge Ancient History, which took many years to produce, occupied a great number of scholars, each writing a separate chapter, ...
338. Summary and Closing Address [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the basis of pottery styles, were it not for the link with Egypt. He argued, for example, on the basis of lots of similar lion motifs, in Phrygia and Assyria that they were of more or less the same period. So possibly both Neo-Assyrian lions from the 7th century and the Lion Gate were both influenced by the Assyrian sculptures from the 9th century. David Rohl suggested an alternative explanation, that the Lion Gate might not have been a Lion Gate but a griffin gate, based on a Minoan motif. Then we heard Charles Ginenthal's paper which asked whether the Sumerian civilisation could have maintained its culture by irrigation. In arid regions, irrigation also adds salt ...

340. The Timna Test [Journals] [Aeon]
... of these exemplary archaeologists, both individually and collectively, shrieked protest that their life's work in Biblical history had been found wanting to an extraordinary degree. They knew from myriad secondary evidences that the Negev and Arabah had been densely populated and mined in the first half of the first millennium ( -999/ -500). They knew that Assyrian influences on pottery provided a vital chronological cross-check and that they could not be mistaken in these conclusions. But Beno Rothenberg and Yohanan Aharoni also knew! They knew that, in this debate, they had a chronological arbiter and, with it, the advantage and the last word. Discovery of an Egyptian temple in the Arabah in 1969 ...
