... on sites which had been sacred to earlier cultures. Yet if these discoveries are valid, it means that the 360-degree division of the earth was devised many thousands of years before the rediscovery of latitude and longitude in the modern era. Colin spoke also of a book entitled The Cosmic Code by Maurice Chatelaine. It points out that at the Assyrian palace of Nineveh in Upper Iraq archaeologists discovered an inscription on which was a number with a value in the trillions. The modern world has only counted in such high numbers over the last 150 years. Chatelaine worked out that this number represented the length of time it takes for all the planets of the solar system to make one complete ...
372. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... at least (p . 200). 4) BP I used smooth masonry and was laid out using an Egyptian cubit (typically 52.5 cm). BP II, by contrast, is characterised by masonry drafted at the margins (central parts left rough as a raised boss), marked out with red lines and dimensioned in Assyrian' (! ) cubits of 49.5 cm (p . 200). This use of Assyrian' cubits is to be dealt with in a forthcoming article. Franklin has already raised the matter in a poster display at the 2003 Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale in London. The poster posed the question of who influenced whom (Israel or ...

... have occurred on the opposite side of the Sun, when Mars was not visible, or it could simply have been too faint a phenomenon to be all that conspicuous from the half of Earth that was faced toward it. WHEN? As far as I know, the earliest clear indication that Mars was on its present orbit is found in Assyrian reports from -672. (See Hunger, Astrological Reports to Assyrian Kings, Numbers 41 and 181.) This would be the terminus a quo for Mars' arrival at its present orbit. The terminus a quo for Mars' arrival at its present orbit would have to be some while after the last near-collision between Earth and Mars, ...
374. The Miracles of the Exodus by Colin Humphries and The Moses Legacy by Graham Phillips (Book reviews) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Deuteronomist ethic. Deuteronomy is purportedly the lost book of the Bible discovered in the reign of Josiah, mysteriously hidden in the Temple. Phillips claims the new form of Yahweh worship was the version practised in Judah. Other people claim it was introduced from the Northern Kingdom by a small group amongst the refugees that arrived in Judah after the Assyrians defeated Hoshea. The religion of Moses, he says, involved a serpent, a staff and the sacrifice of bulls on a horned altar. He even suggests Moses may have worn horns on his head during religious ceremonies (but fails to ask what on earth they might have to do with a volcano). Moses staff was a ...
... them fifty-two; and was buried by himself in his own gardens. CHAPTER 11. HOW ZACHARIAH SHALLUM, MENAHEM PEKAHIAH AND PEKAH TOOK THE GOVERNMENT OVER THE ISRAELITES ; AND HOW PUL AND TIGLATH-PILESER MADE AN EXPEDITION AGAINST THE ISRAELITES. HOW JOTHAM, THE SON OF UZZIAH REIGNED OVER THE TRIBE OF JUDAH; AND WHAT THINGS NAHUM PROPHESIED AGAINST THE ASSYRIANS. 1. Now when Zachariah, the son of Jeroboam, had reigned six months over Israel, he was slain by the treachery of a certain friend of his, whose name was Shallum, the son of Jabesh, who took the kingdom afterward, but kept it no longer than thirty days; for Menahem, the general of ...
376. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , unavoidably, only at the last minute. ANCIENT HISTORY STUDY GROUP The last meeting of the Ancient History Study Group was held at the home of Mrs. Morgan, in Dulwich on Sunday, 10 August. Peter James gave the address on this occasion and supplemented his talk by distributing a number of sheets giving relevant information from Babylonian and Assyrian historical texts. The group were made aware of the problems concerning Velikovsky's revised chronology arising out of the seemingly unassailable coherence of the Assyrian King Lists. Owing to an abundance of synchronisms between Assyria and Babylon, and also synchronisms arising out of the El-Amarna letters, it was difficult to establish any point of weakness in the orthodox chronology of ...
377. Experiments with Time II: Synchronisms and Stratigraphies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1998:2 (Mar 1998) Home | Issue Contents Experiments with Time II: Synchronisms and Stratigraphies by Geoffrey Knowler Barnard Introduction In the first series of Experiments with Time', the Egyptian Conventional Chronology was revised downwards and related to a new interpretation of the Mesopotamian chronologies. These involved the separation of each of the Assyrian and Babylonian king lists into two parallel dynasties [1 ]. This relationship created a new chronological structure which forms the basis of the Absolute Chronology'. This is now further developed by the use of Schaeffer's comparative stratigraphy, to show how it relates to other countries of the Ancient World. This will be done partly by chronological synchronisms ...
378. The Oracle of Cadmus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... ."[1 ] Velikovsky has also intimated that Cadmus, founder of Thebes, .. .may have been King Nikmed of Ugarit, who lived in the days of the El-Amarna correspondence, applied cuneiform to the Hebrew alphabet, made of cuneiform an alphabetic writing, and, together with the Ionians, was expelled from his city by Assyrian conquerors and fled by sea. Cadmus introduced the Hebrew alphabet into Greece and applied it to the Greek language. King Nikrned had an Egyptian princess as his wife; and the legend has it that Cadmus brought with him a wife named Sphinx.[2 ] In the Oedipus legend the monster Sphinx guards the city of Seven-Gated Thebes in ...

... of Gilgamesh and Its Sumerian Sources," JAOS 64 (1944), p. 11: "the poem was current in substantially the form in which we know it, as early as the first half of the second millennium B.C ." ]. It has been rehearsed with variants by Hurrians and Hittites, by Babylonians and Assyrians. Even in the best recensions there are large gaps, many tablets are damaged beyond repair, and to aggravate these detrimental conditions one must add the efforts of a goodly number of specialists which have not helped to clarify matters. The story has been told many times over and it appears to be fairly secure in its main lines, ...
380. Hatshepsut and the Queen of Sheba: A Critique of Velikovsky's Identification and an Alternative View [Journals] [SIS Review]
... account are perhaps not insurmountable obstacles to Velikovsky's identification, but they do have a further significance; taken in conjunction with other factors, they point strongly to an alternative origin for Solomon's visitor, namely the kingdom of Sheba, or Saba, in South Arabia. This kingdom, corresponding approximately to modern Yemen, is well-known from local inscriptions and Assyrian texts, as well as from the Bible. In almost all cases where the name Sheba occurs in the Old Testament, it is perfectly clear that it is this Arabian kingdom which is intended [9 ]. The parallel phrases of Job 6:19 mention Sheba with the Arabian district of Tema (cf. Isaiah 21:14 ...
