... is perhaps biblical chronology in relation to conventional alignments that is in need of correction. Global vulcanism has not been detected, and no ash from a great world-wide upheaval, has been discovered, while megalithic monuments remain standing and ancient forests survive in sometimes exposed locations. On that basis it seems to me that the natural phenomena associated with the Exodus from Egypt has perhaps been grafted onto the storyline, (the alternative is to deny it took place). Religio-myth seems to have been attached to an historical event- in much the same way as the cosmic myth of Romulus and Remus has been attached to the story of the foundation of Rome. We might imagine that religio-myth is ...
... rise for the same length of time. "Do not the two tales, then, describe the same event, and by coming from different sides of the Earth attest to its factuality" ". .. Whatever the precise cause of the phenomenon, what we are concerned with here is its timing. The generally accepted date for the Exodus has been the thirteenth century B.C . (circa 1230 B.C .) , and scholars have argued for a date earlier by some two centuries found themselves in a minority... Subsequent to the publication of our conclusion [related to Biblical dates] (in 1985), two eminent biblical scholars and archeologists, ...
228. Palestinian Archaeology and a Ramesses VI-Shishak Identification [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . There is abundant archaeological evidence from Palestine with which to test such a scheme. In general, this chronology would take Bimson's recent point (1988:55) one step further. Bimson commented that Fritz's symbiosis hypothesis (1987:97f.; cf. e.g . Calloway 1982:77) fits very well with a MB Exodus by requiring a pre-Iron Age period of (proto-)Israelite assimilation to Canaanite culture. This would make some of the LB towns of Palestine Israelite (most, though, were in the traditionally "unconquered" regions), i.e . LB pottery would not necessarily be an indication of Canaanite occupation, nor, as has ...

His thesis The Sothic Star Theory of the Egyptian Calendar', was a demolition job' on conventional Egyptian dating. In his reconstruction (i ) the Exodus occurred at the end of Egypt's Old Kingdom (EBA); (ii) the MBI people were the Israelites of the Exodus/Conquest and (iii) the early monarchy of Israel was contemporary with the early New Kingdom of Egypt. On these points his reconstruction is close to Courville's in his The Exodus Problem and Its Ramifications' ...
232. Floods and Tides [Books] [de Grazia books]
... too. The several factors at work highlight the problems of conceptualizing and calculating the effects of encounters, but heavy tidal movements must be assumed. The legends of tides number in the hundreds, but they are usually hard to allocate to periods of time, particularly in this incipient phase of the science of quantavolutions. When the Biblical Book of Exodus says, "The waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left," tidal behavior is suggested at the critical point of the Venusian comet, about 1450 B.C . by Biblical-derived dating. And the Psalms are chanting of the same event when "He made the waters to stand as a ...
233. The Periodic Cyclicism Of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... as described in both the Book of Isaiah and in the Jewish Talmud. CALEB DATING Calendared dating cites the day and the month of a catastrophe, but not the year. Five of the fourteen catastrophes are dated this way. They are: The flood of Noah October 24 (daytime) The Sodom-Gomorrah Holocaust March 20-21 (nighttime) The Exodus Catastrophe March 20-21 (nighttime) The Gideon Catastrophe March 20-21 (nighttime) The Last Catastrophe March 20-21 (nighttime) The last four of these catastrophes are identified as having occurred during the night of the "Passover". The word "passover" connotes something, perhaps a planet, was passing close by our planet, creating vast ...
234. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... " between the history of the Hebrews and the generally favoured chronology of Egypt. Despite the apparent detail with which the histories of these neighbouring countries have been drawn up, historians are still faced with great difficulty in tracing events of one area in the records of the other - even when, as epitomised by the time of bondage and the Exodus, the histories of the two nations should overlap. As Mr James said: "It is difficult for scholars who have worked within the accepted framework for so long even to consider the possibility that all is not well with the history of the ancient Near East - yet, viewed objectively, the histories of Egypt and Palestine, placed ...
235. The Ark And Tent Of Meeting [Journals] [Aeon]
... it is not explicitly so stated in the text). If this tent was indeed a simple(r ) and non-ritualistic tent, it would not be surprising that it would have disappeared from history (although it apparently surfaces in the first Book of Samuel). [5 ] Assuming that the tent section of the ritual tabernacle of the Exodus had existed and somehow survived, even when dismantled it would easily have occupied a fair-sized temple storeroom at the time of the monarchy. Noel Taylor calculated the weight of just the silver used in its adornment as three and a half tons. [6 ] When it comes to storing the Temple utensils in times of emergency, there may ...
236. "13", Part 1 Venus Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]

From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents "13"" At midnight" all the houses of Egypt were smitten; "there was not a house where there was not one dead." This happened on the night of the fourteenth of the month Aviv (Exodus 12:6 ; 13:4 ). This is the night of Passover. It appears that the Israelites originally celebrated Passover on the eve of the fourteenth of Aviv. The month Aviv is called "the first month" (Exodus 12 :18). Thout was the name of the first month of the Egyptians. What, for the Israelites ...

Dr Velikovsky addressing the conference at McMaster University, Ontario, June 1974. Photograph by Wal Thornhill: DR JOHN BIMSON specialised in Biblical archaeology and chronology, with particular reference to the date of the Exodus, in the Department of Biblical Studies, Sheffield University. His doctoral thesis has since been published as Redating the Exodus and Conquest (JSOT, Sheffield, 1978).

... when I came to study the sources at first hand which Velikovsky cites in support of his thesis . . . I found myself forced to conclude that his reconstruction is to be completely rejected." I beg to differ. Of the nine examples given by Day to support his rejection, I investigated three, with the opposite result: The Exodus (his No. 4), The Queen of Sheba (his No. 6), and The Temple in Jerusalem (his No. 7). I. The Exodus. John Day writes: "Conventional chronology associates the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt with the reign of Rameses II (13th century BC). This ...
239. The Bible as History? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... would find a different kind of history' in the New. Fox relies heavily on the received wisdom of his time, and in particular he fails to address the issue of chronology. He understands only that archaeology does not support Old Testament traditions from before the time of the Schism. Although he is aware of John Bimson's work on the Exodus and Conquest, Fox ploddingly accepts the verdict of conventional scholarship that the necessary chronological adjustments are unworkable. With just a little more insight he would have been aware of the chronological requirement modern archaeology places on biblical interpretation (cf. JACF 6, p. 34) and then he would have discovered considerably more history' in the biblical ...
240. Avaris and the Land of Goshen [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Middle Egyptian Avaris. But now let us contemplate this factor of the Jerusalemites and their Egyptian ancestral home, and the factor that these were descendants of the shepherds who had been expelled from Avaris in the 18th dynasty. For as you are well aware, the Israelites not only were expelled from the Delta area, that is they made an exodus after negotiations, (just as Manetho claimed), but they too settled in Canaan and built Jerusalem as a fortress in the time of David. (But then, according to the Bible, David's armies controlled extensive areas including SHIHOR in Egypt.) All we have to do now is to discover where the Israelites had been resident ...
241. A Personal Reminiscence [Journals] [Aeon]
... his historical researches at the Columbia University libraries. His interests turned to ancient history, particularly as developed in Egyptian papyri, biblical sources, and the mythologies and folklores of various civilizations. According to his own account, he spent ten years comparing these historical sources, and concluded that there is a chronological discrepancy between the biblical portrayal of the exodus and the portrayal in the Ipuwer Papyrus of what Velikovsky accepted as the same series of events, a series of catastrophes that struck the Egyptians. To validate this conclusion, Velikovsky had to bring Egyptian history into coincidence with biblical history and that required advancing Egyptian chronology by about five hundred years. This was the starting point of Worlds in ...

Many people think that these are homo sapiens footprints, and they were caught up on the same tidal wave or whatever... Questioner 4: I think one can almost prove that the last time the world turned upside down was before the Exodus catastrophe, and it's probably several centuries before. Dr Milton: I think that you are right as well, but .. . Questioner 4: I'm getting very near firm proof of that, the only trouble is that time before is very shaky because of the precessional jumps. Dr Milton: Yes, that's right, but there ...
243. Editorial C&AH 9:1 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History IX:1 (Jan 1987) Home | Issue Contents Editorial CATASTROPHISM AND ANCIENT HISTORY is helping to prove the date and time of the EXODUS! I have just returned from a large conference on the Exodus where I found that many participants have heard about us- and were persuaded that the Exodus did occur historically and are now willing to assign a date for it. More and more universities and seminaries have been writing for subscriptions. In this our ninth year we have three interesting articles. The first one is by Duane Voorhees, a graduate student at Bowling Green State College. He discusses the psychological aspects of Velikovsky's approach to catastrophism. ...
244. A Seven Year Famine in the Reign of King Djoser with Other Parallels between Imhotep and Joseph [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... " and an intensive search by W.S . Emery (d . 1971), the structure has not yet been found. And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him; for Joseph had solemnly sworn the people of Israel saying, "God will visit you; then you must carry my bones with you from here." Exodus 13:19 Parallels between the Cult of Imhotep and the Joseph Story i. PHYSICIAN Imhotep is the earliest physician of whom historical records have survived.

245. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Three [Books]
... ? Yet, on WIC p.123, V links the Harris Papyrus with the topsy turvy' of Ipuwer to produce this stirring paragraph: "The Papyrus Ipuwer, which says that the earth turned over like a potter's wheel' and the earth is upside down', was written by an eye- witness of the plagues and the Exodus. The change is described also in the words of another papyrus (Harris) which I have quoted once before: The south becomes north, and the earth turns over. '" As we have now seen, this paragraph seems to rest its case on nothing more substantial then an out- of- context metaphor and a snippet ...
246. Isaac Asimov in Absurdity [Books]
... leave to choose those which I want to use and allow me to make changes where necessary; and I will undertake to prove anything you wish proven." (12) All this shows is that Asimov has not done his homework because one of the major researchers of this topic over the years, Angelos Galanopoulos, has also equated the Exodus with the sinking of Atlantis in a work titled "Die ägyptischen Plagen und der Auszug Israels aus geologischer Sicht," translated means "The Egyptian Plagues and the Israelite Exodus from a Geological Viewpoint." This work was published in a respected journal on ancient history five years before Asimov attacked Velikovsky on this very point! (13) ...
247. Immanuel Velikovsky: A Short Biography [Journals] [Pensee]
... took a sabbatical year, traveling with his family to New York only a few weeks before World War II tore Europe apart. For eight months he worked on Oedipus and Akhnaton in the libraries. In April, 1940, Velikovsky was first struck by the idea that a great natural catastrophe had taken place at the time of the Israelites' Exodus from Egypt- a time when plagues occurred, the Sea of Passage parted, Mt. Sinai erupted, and the pillar of cloud and fire moved in the sky. Velikovsky wondered: Does any Egyptian record of a similar catastrophe exist? He found the answer in an obscure papyrus stored in Leiden, Holland- the lamentations of an Egyptian sage ...

... it was the cause of many evils. Campester was of the opinion that a four-day encounter with it would be enough to destroy the Earth. Pallas of the Greeks was another name for Typhon, as was Seth of the Egyptians.27 One Renaissance author, referring to unnamed ancient sources, says that Typhon appeared at the time of the Exodus; and another associates the catastrophes brought by Typhon with the ten plagues of Egypt.28 It appears that a colossal electrical discharge made the heaped-up waters fall-as is commemorated not only in the book of Exodus 29 but in myths and legends worldwide-a god is said to have hurled his thunderbolt at an overwhelmed world in Greece, Iceland, Russia ...

... , again like myself, he saw a consequence of that catastrophe. Thus the starting point of my research was proved on archaeological grounds. In February 1946 I had published the Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History.(1 ) There I wrote: The literal meaning of many passages in the Scriptures which relate to the time of the Exodus, imply that there was a great natural cataclysm of enormous dimensions. The synchronous moment between the Egyptian and Jewish histories can be established if the same catastrophe can also be traced in Egyptian literature. The Papyrus Ipuwer describes a natural catastrophe and not merely a social revolution, as is supposed. A juxtaposition of many passages of this papyrus ...
250. Velikovskian Catastrophes in the Revelation of St. John [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... third part of it, and the night likewise.[Revelation 8:7-12] The combination of hail and fire will be recognized by Velikovsky's readers. We have his well known explanation of the Hebrew word barad and can interpret the hail as meteorites. I personally do not think Velikovsky is right about the nature of the blood. In Exodus the word "blood" is used too often, and there is no linguistic reason to think that anything other than blood is meant. So I reject the reddish dust theory of Velikovsky. The great mountain and the great star can be interpreted as huge meteorites. About the burning of the third part of the earth we could remark ...
