... Thus Velikovskian scholars must accept that Amunhotep III was at best ill informed, or that Solomon must post-date the Amarna period. In examining some of the tablets found at the Hittite capital Boghazköy, KUB XXVI 70 (Bo 4979) contains the words: "Tukulti-Ninurta has sent me the tablet [letter] of Urhi-Teshub." There were two Assyrian kings Tukulti-Ninurta. The first is dated c. 1242-1206, and the second, 890-884. The Hittite Urhi-Teshub, a nephew of Hattusilis III, is datable as an early contemporary of Ramses II. All Velikovskian type models place the time of Urhi-Teshub much later than the reign of Tukulti-Ninurta II. I therefore conclude, on the basis of ...
352. A Reply to Palmer's 'In Search of Alter Egos' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the acceptance of orthodox dogmas. How then can he justify using such an argument' against me? He proceeds then to assert that Shalmaneser's campaign in the west was only against Israel and not Egypt. He is aware, I am sure, that our only knowledge of this campaign comes from a verse or two in the Old Testament (Assyrian sources are silent). Naturally the writers of Scripture were more concerned with the fate of the children of Israel than anything else. But is Palmer seriously asking his readers to believe that tiny Israel opposed the might of Assyria alone? Or is it not more likely (as was normally the case), that the campaign against Israel ...
353. The History Of The Revisionist Debate: A Personal View [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... as the Steibing-Burgstahler debates in Pensee showed, Velikovsky's work could not be defended, much less advanced, until it was actually seen. Clark Whelton of New York cites one letter sent to Velikovsky which he saw, appealing "Please publish the rest of the story. I may die, and never know!" To this day, The Assyrian Conquest volumes of Velikovsky's revision, believed to be "The Age of Isaiah and Horner" and Dark Age of Greece, have yet to be published. The closest Velikovsky came to filling this gap was in an article in Kronos covering the period in outline form between the end of the 18th dynasty of Egypt, which he placed at ...
354. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... arrow' (thoroughly truthful), and his research has been resourceful and comprehensive. I find three zones of support for his thesis: cultural evidence, scientific evidence, and logic. Cultural Support There are about a dozen cultural issues, of which I shall cite only eight. (1 ) NASAR. The Epic of Gilgamesh, from Assyrian clay tablets, cites Nisir' as the place where the Ark landed. Before 1945, the village was located about 600 yards from the Fasold formation and was, in Kurdish, Nasar'. Nasar is a verb meaning to make a sacrifice'. Nisir and Nasar are cognate. (2 ) TO MAKE A SACRIFICE. In ...
355. Climate changes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... altogether. In fact, Swedish peat bogs display evidence of five very dry layers at interesting dates in the historical past, which appear to tie in very nicely with dendrochronology evidence: around 2300BC (the end of EB age catastrophe), 1200BC (the end of LB age catastrophe) and 600BC (a very dry period known from late Assyrian sources). This coincided with Arab bedouin migrations, Scythian and Cimmerian movements in the Caucasus, and the great Celtic penetrations out of the Danube basin. Indeed, the collapse of the powerful and populous Assyrian empire is thought to have been due to a combination of drought, famine and an epidemic. Dayton also catalogues a wet phase ...

... is, however, no trace of the swastika proper in Egypt during either pre-dynastic or dynastic times. It was introduced into that country a few centuries before the Christian era, and it reached Algeria, Ashantee, etc. somewhat later. Neither the Sumerians nor Babylonians made use of it in lower Mesopotamia. Nor did it appeal to the Assyrians in the North. Professor Sayce wrote regarding it in 1888. The dresses of cloth and linen with which the Hittites clothed themselves were dyed with various colours, and were ornamented with fringes and rich designs. That of the priest of Ibreez is especially worthy of study. Among the patterns with which it is adorned are the same square ...
... of brick the other of stone. They inscribed their discoveries on them both, that in case the pillar of brick should be destroyed by the flood, the pillar of stone might remain and exhibit those discoveries to mankind."4 Such pillars appear to relate to stones like those of Scotland, as are discovered nowhere else except in ancient Assyrian monuments, and it is evident from the description of Josephus that he refers to zodiacs, while he names the Sethites as their inventors. He has more to say of this particular caste of some significance. Seth, their founder, was a virtuous man and his sons for seven generations inherited his character, but in process of time ...
358. Metallurgy and Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... source of iron was opened up to this country in the south (26). Slag from iron ore, found in heaps in Meroe in Nubia is ascribed to this period, which is often regarded as the beginning of the real Iron Age in Egypt. Tools and small iron foundries were discovered in Egypt of the Ethiopian Dynasty. The Assyrian conquest of Egypt was carried on with iron arms, and Assyrian tools made of iron were found in Egypt (27). Iron is not among the booty that Assurbanipal took in Egypt in about -663, but the same king enumerated spoils of iron taken in Syria (28). The general impression is that nations which used iron ...
359. Alalakh and the Collon Affair [Journals] [Aeon]
... Alalakh's stratum VII were items that closely resembled Khabur ware. Similar ware, with similar decorations, but with different colors, have been discovered in Egyptian tombs of the Hyksos period. The same Khabur ware has been linked to north Mesopotamian traditions of the Sargonid period. The distribution of the same Khabur ware has been matched to that of the Assyrian realm. What can be said against all this? Let us take the above data one by one. In the first place, as was pointed out by R. M. Porter, [15] the Tell el Yahudiyeh type ware, which McEwan had dated to 1800-1600 B.C ., was not discovered in Alalakh stratum ...
360. Karl Popper and Evolutionary Theory (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... , that the correct placement of Haremhab is "crucial" for Velikovsky's reconstruction - does not consider, nor even mention the alternative solution that Haremhab ruled in Esarhaddon's time.(6 ) If Gammon had considered such an alternative solution, he would have found that his "key question"(7 ) and criticism, that there is no Assyrian evidence for Sennacherib's conquest of Egypt, while Esarhaddon "left records of successful campaigns against the Ethiopian rulers Tarku (Taharqa) and Urdamane...." does not contradict Velikovsky's understanding of Haremhab's crucial placement in the time of the Assyrian conquests in the first quarter of the seventh century. Such an alternate synchronism would also move Haremhab's ...
