... Egyptian Archaeology, vol.I (1914) p.100-106. I shall refer to these sources as CAN and JEA for short, CAH writes as follows: " The other papyrus (1116 B) contains a document of even greater importance to us, for it is in the form of a prophecy, and clearly belongs both in date and style to the pessimistic group of texts. It relates how king Snefru, by way of seeking diversion, commanded that some person should be brought to amuse him with beauteous words and cheery speeches'. A certain Neferrohu appears and, on being asked to tell of things to come', proceeds to picture the land in a ...
152. Chaldean Account of Genesis [Books]
... same reserve with which I have given them. I have avoided some of the most important comparisons and conclusions with respect to Genesis, as my desire was first to obtain the recognition of the evidence without prejudice. The chronological notes in the book are one of its weak points, but I may safely say that I have placed the various dates as low as I fairly could, considering the evidence, and I have aimed to do this rather than to establish any system of chronology. I believe that time will show the Babylonian traditions of Genesis to be invaluable for the light they will throw on the Pentateuch, but at present there are so many blanks in the evidence that ...
153. Misusing Radiocarbon: A Case Study [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ], I addressed the often heard claim that radiocarbon results provide basic confirmation of the Egyptian chronology. Among the fundamental issues discussed were the validity of the tree-ring based calibrations and the failure of most analysts to consider the age of the wood that the Egyptians were using. Also noted was the possibility that short-lived materials may be systematically yielding radiocarbon dates that are older than their historical dates because of contamination by old carbons from the Nile - a notion first raised by University of Pennsylvania scientists [2 ]. I also mentioned other problems with the use of the radiocarbon data by supporters of the conventional Egyptian chronology. Among these were the misuse of statistics and radiocarbon data. As an ...
154. Early History of the Israelite People: Biblical Fundamentalism in History (I) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... side issue of little importance. It, rather, lies at the heart of nearly every difficult problem and nearly every sharp divergence of opinion we face in the field today." (5 ) Without a history independent of biblical chronology, he most convincingly argues, Israelite history will simply be caught in the trap of circular reasoning: biblical dates will be supported by biblical dates. Does Thompson's own work live up to this decisive insight? To answer that question, we must look at the numerous dates he uses throughout his book without really questioning them. His own "Assyrian period of the [9th to 7th] centuries," (6 ) for example, is derived ...
155. Chapter XXVII: The Calendar and its Revision [Books]
... Chapter XXVII The Calendar and its Revision IN the last chapter the so-called Sothic cycle was discussed, and dates of the commencement of the successive cycles were suggested. These dates were arrived at by taking the very simplest way of writing a calendar in pre-temple times, and using the calendar inscriptions in the most natural way. The dates for the coincidence of the heliacal rising of Sirius and the 1st Thoth of the vague year at, or near, the solstice, were 270 B.C . 1728 B.C . 3192 B.C . Here, in limine, we meet with a difficulty which, if it cannot be explained, evidently proves that the Egyptians did ...
156. Ice Core Evidence [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... regarding the accuracy of the ice cores. They did this, as I will show, by ignoring fundamental evidence that invalidated their beliefs and assertions. For example, in Part II of "Still Facing Many Problems," Ellenberger claimed that the Milankovich theory for ice ages is definitively supported by Greenland ice cores and disproves Velikovsky's 3,500-year-old date: "Velikovsky's timetable for the last glaciation is decisively disproved by the oxygen isotope profiles in the Greenland icecap, which indicate that the temperatures reached their present general level about 10,000 years ago."(11) If this is so, then other accurate cores which measure the same climate periods of the Milankovich theory should corroborate ...
157. The Venus Tablets and Climate [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 2 . Introduction The Babylonian king Ammisaduqa reigned, according to astronomical theory, from 1702 BC to 1681 BC [1 ]. The date-formula of his 8th year, which appears after Year 8 of a 21 year sequence of Venus observations known as The Venus Tablets', links the Venus data with his reign. The key to this astronomical dating is the Inferior Conjunction invisibility period of Year 6. It lasted two, or perhaps three, days depending on whether the month of setting had 29 or 30 days. There are four solutions', or Venus date sequences which come within the range of archaeological possibility [2 ]. The sequence beginning -1701 (i .e . ...
158. Cyrus The Mardian/amardian Dethroner Of The -6th Century Medes And Aziru The Martu/amurru (Amorite) Dethroner Of The -14th Century Mitanni [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... 1997) Home | Issue Contents Cyrus The Mardian/amardian Dethroner Of The -6th Century Medes And Aziru The Martu/amurru (Amorite) Dethroner Of The -14th Century Mitanni Gunnar Heinsohn 1. The Restoration of Assyrian History in the Median and Achaemenid Periods In 1987, ancient Greek historiography and modern archaeological stratigraphy compelled me to bring down the conventional date of the Amarna Period ( -14th century), to the late -7th century. Thereby, the -14th century termination of the Mitannian Empire, witnessed in the Amarna correspondence, had to be equated with the end of the Median Empire of the -7th/ -6th centuries. In actual fact, I choose the conventional chronology for the ...
159. First Dynasty - pre-Flood or post-Flood [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1998:1 (June 1998) Home | Issue Contents First Dynasty - pre-Flood or post-Flood From: Roger Waite, rwaite@webexpress.net.au Date: Sun, 29 Mar 1998 16:17:17 + 1000 If Velikovsky is right about the Exodus occurring at the end of the Middle Kingdom and there was no dynasties overlapping with one another before, that would place the 4th dynasty at the time of the Flood and easily before if there is overlapping. Menes is talked about as having been the first to drain Egypt(after the Flood?) yet we have Claude Schaeffer's archaeological work (quoted by Velikovsky at length in Earth ...
