... Ages and concluded that the Dark Age', which a majority of archaeologists and ancient historians had identified between the early 12th and late 8th centuries BC, did not in fact exist. They argued convincingly that it was a false construct, arising from errors in the generally accepted chronology of Pharaonic Egypt prior to the sack of Thebes by the Assyrian king Aššurbanipal in 664 BC. This in turn led them to conclude that the dates for the transition from the Late Bronze to the early Iron Ages should be reduced by some 250 years in the Old World as a whole, from the Western Mediterranean to as far east as Iran. A Test of Time is a further contribution to ...
382. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... problems. Two years before his death he returned to the mainstream of his reconstruction, Peoples of the Sea. Here he jumped to the end of his reconstruction. A year later he published Rameses II and his Time, another snapshot. At the time of his death he considered that completing his reconstruction would require two further works, The Assyrian Conquest and The Dark Age of Greece; his followers have since completed these works from his notes and put them online at The Immanuel Velikovsky Archive. Although most of the theories presented in "Ages in Chaos" are considered quite unacceptable by most scholars, some of the ideas have been confirmed by independent research by notable scholars. For ...
383. The Area of Origin [Books]
... 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 ...
384. Sins Of The Father [Journals] [Aeon]
... of the Hurrian land. [25] Yet if Mitanni is to be identified with the Median empire of c. 600 BC, it must be expected that a Hurrian element will figure prominently in the Median population and culture. Likewise, one must expect that the neighboring cultures that described the Medes- the Greeks, Persians, Babylonians, Assyrians, and Hebrews- would mention Hurrian practices, gods, or names. Yet a Hurrian element is conspicuous by its absence in ancient descriptions of the Median empire. Having now exposed the thoroughly baseless nature of the arguments advanced by Ginenthal and Sweeney, the reader is doubtless curious as to whether Heinsohn's musings on the Medes and Mitanni fare ...
385. Dating the Amarna Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... if Velikovsky is wrong with regard to the validity of his absolute dating, it is more likely to be in favour of going the other way and placing the el-Amarna letters in the 7th century BC with Heinsohn: 6). The fact that Akkadian was the lingua franca of the el-Amarna letters would make more sense if Heinsohn's equation Hyksos = Assyrians was accepted. It would be natural if the 18th Dynasty continued to use this language after it had been established during the Hyksos = Assyrian period. 7). Mention of Indo-Europeans among the settled populations of the cities cited in the Amarna letters suggests a later date. I am not sure how the Rohl/Newgrosh conclusion that Abdi-Heba ...

Gap of 500 years. f) Cicilian inscription of Azitawatas, mentioning his over-lord Awarkus ( 'Wrks') in Hittitle style of the 13th century BC, but known to date from the time of Tiglath-pileser III (c . 740 BC) because Awarkus also mentioned (as Urukki') in Assyrian inscriptions of this king [6 ]. Gap of 500 years. g) Career of Marduk-applaidin I (Merodach-Baladan) a Babylonian prince (c . 1240 BC), virtually identical to that of Marduk-applaidin III of Babylon (c . 730-710 BC) [7 ].

387. New Archaeological Dates for the Israelite Conquest Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... must have begun during the Early Bronze Age and the conquest must have taken place at the end of EB III. Anati and Cohen both accept the conventional dating for the archaeological periods of Palestine, according to which the end of the EB III period and the beginning of MB I took place c. 2300 B.C . Synchronisms between Assyrian history and the histories of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel during the era of the Divided Monarchy allow us to calculate that Solomon's death and the end of the United Monarchy occurred between 931 and 921 B.C . This fact, in turn, makes it difficult- if not impossible- to date the beginning of the Israelite monarchy ...
388. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , on the basis of the pottery evidence combined with historical probability, dated an important phase of the mining activity to the 10th to 6th centuries BC. The pottery types were compared by Glueck with ware from nearby Tell el Kheleifeh, level IV of which contained datable Edomite and Minaean inscriptions and pottery shapes clearly imitative of 7th and 6th century Assyrian metal and ceramic vessels. On this basis level IV was dated by Glueck to the 7th-6th centuries BC, and levels I - III to the10th-8th centuries BC. Such a dating allows the theory that King Solomon founded the site, and that it was Ezion-geber, his seaport. Three main types of pottery appear at Timna and the other ...
389. Are the Peleset Philistines or Persians? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , the shift from Late Bronze to Iron I is dated to 1230-1200 B.C ., which era contains changes throughout this area. The conquest of Palestine under Joshua is erroneously placed in this era, the archaeological evidence in Palestine having been misdated, as was the exodus. The shift point is rather identified with the fall to the Assyrians of the northern Israelite Monarchy, which was also marked by notable changes. In Greece, the point is marked by the Dorian invasion of Greece and the simultaneous setting off of migrations from Greece joined by the Sea Peoples. In Anatolia, the point is marked by the end of the Hittite empire with the territory overrun by the migrating ...
... mill.]. There are, indeed, "a number of reasons for questioning the common belief that grain-mills were rotary," as Moritz states (p . 53). And whereas Forbes (Studies in Ancient Technology, vol. 3, p. 155, n. 3) votes for "rotary querns . . . in Assyrian times," Lynn White (p . 108) says: "But while continuous rotary motion was used in this large mola versatilis and, of course, in the water mill which appears in the first century B.C ., it is by no means clear how early such a motion was used with querns," which ...
