... . 35-36) Rose tried to account for the lifespans of the patriarchs by a combination of astronomical, genetic, and environmental factors. With his talk of the astronomers and their tens of billions of years, and his resentment of anyone interested in looking beyond five or six thousand years ago, Rose himself reminds me of Archbishop Ussher, who dated everything from the Creation in 4004 B.C . Of course, if the solar system were such a violent place that it could be practically turned inside out in a few thousand years, it is not likely to have endured for millions, let alone billions of years. That would be fundamentally inconsistent. For a test of Worlds ...
72. 'Worlds in Collision' After Heinsohn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1997:2 (Apr 1998) Home | Issue Contents Worlds in Collision After Heinsohn by William Mullen Summary What would happen to Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision' series of cosmic catastrophes if Gunnar Heinsohn's re-dating of ancient history turned out to be correct? An investigation of this concludes that it would affect the dating of many of the key sources used by Velikovsky, with major effects on his conclusions. Introduction Immanuel Velikovsky had many predecessors in the effort to assign scientific causes to the cosmic catastrophes mankind has experienced. At different points in his writings he acknowledged his debts in different ways; names that recur most often are Plato, Lucretius, Seneca ...
73. Sothic Dating and Historical Reconstructions [Articles]
... Sothic Dating and Historical Reconstructions Lynn E. Rose The El-Lahun documents were found late in the nineteenth century. El-Lahun is a city near the entrance to the Fayum, so it is well up river from, say, Alexandria. There in the precincts of a temple of Sesostris II, already deceased, these various documents were found. It's a large collection of papyri. Some of these have various dates on them. Now the dates are not always completely straightforward; sometimes it will be a date given in the Egyptian calendar, but it doesn't say what the Moon is doing. Sometimes the name of the king is missing. In fact, that is usually the case ...
74. The Reliability of Biblical Synchronisms in Constructing an Historical Chronology from Rehoboam to Hezekiah [Journals] [SIS Review]
... straightforward matter to construct a chronology for the reigns of the kings of Judah and Israel. A simple computation, however, not only fails to synchronise with Assyrian and Babylonian data but is also internally inconsistent. The chief difficulty is that there is no way of knowing whether or not co-regnal years have been included in the reign when the accession date to a co-regency is expressed in the co-regnal years of the other junior king. The date is not fixed and reign lengths can be telescoped or expanded. The date of a junior king's accession to a co-regency is never expressed in the unambiguous terms of his father's regnal years. The omission of this simple way of keeping track of reign ...
75. A Test of Time: Volume I the Bible - From Myth to History by David M. Rohl [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 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 the continuing debate about World history, archaeology and chronology in the second and first millennia ...
76. Artificially Structured Biblical Chronologies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From those fixed points, there had been kept a continuous count of various cycles which had been recorded by means of the specialised symbols that were part of their secret tradition. As each chronological list was compiled, various reign lengths were changed slightly, resulting in a pattern of symbol values that could fix the list to an exact composite cyclical date, or describe situations such as co-regencies and contemporary dynasties. In such a way, any of their school' members anywhere in the civilised world, both contemporary and in the future, could interpret the lists correctly. A series of conquests and religious inquisitions during the past two and a half millennia destroyed many record collections and reduced the ...
77. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ; and while certain British scholars may have their doubts about the authenticity of Redford's published find, it is incumbent upon them to discuss it openly as opposed to ignoring it. Should regnal year 16 prove to be authentic, Gammon could find himself in an embarrassing compression of time. Furthermore, should that compression be relieved by lowering the proposed dates for the Nineteenth-Dynasty pharaohs then John Bimson may find himself squeezed in his efforts to relocate the Merneptah Stele chronologically. Bimson already has a problem due to the fact that he inadvertently picked up a spurious date from Ramses II and His Time that was printed in the time chart at the back of the book. According to Velikovsky, the ...
78. Hammurabi and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... by the Hyksos. * In the original version of the present text, Velikovsky theorized that the Kassites were both contemporaneous "and apparently identical with the Hyksos"; and though he later abandoned this equation, his conjecture is worth noting as a matter of intellectual interest. - LMG Until a few decades ago, the reign of Hammurabi was dated to around the year 2100 before the present era. This dating was originally prompted by information contained in an inscription of Nabonidus, the last king of Babylon, who reigned in the sixth century until the conquest of his land by Cyrus. Whereas his son and co-ruler, Belshazzar, occupied himself with the administration of the land, Nabonidus ...
79. A Chronology for the Eighteenth Dynasty [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Gammon has devised a working model for the chronology of the XVIIIth Dynasty that accords with the chronology of Israel drawn up by Biblical scholars. The reconstruction of the chronology of the ancient Near East is a formidable task, fraught with daunting difficulties. There is, nevertheless, a consensus among the majority of ancient historians that the absolute and relative dates of the histories of Egypt, Babylonia, Assyria, Greece and their neighbours can be fixed within fairly small margins of error from the beginning of the dynastic periods in Egypt and Mesopotamia (about 3000 BC). It is this consensus which was challenged by Immanuel Velikovsky in his Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History in 1945. In ...
80. More Problems with Sothic Dating [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2001:1 (Apr 2001) Home | Issue Contents More Problems with Sothic Dating Jesse E. Lasken Summary This paper is a follow-up to the paper in C&CR 1999:2 Sothic Dating: the Shameless Enterprise'. Contrary to the assumptions of Sothic dating, as late as the Persian period the Egyptians were actually using a calendar that was 41 days ahead of the calendar Sothic dating posits. Geminus and P. Paris 1 have been misused, and, based on more detailed analysis of the documents. There is also a correction to the earlier explanation given for the matches achieved by Porten using the Sothic dating calendar and ...
