... . The man would have acted as a lightning conductor: the electrical stimulus may well have affected that part of the brain dealing with the imagination. He went on to suggest that the vision of Fatima might have been a similar occurrence. What I am getting at is this: In the years following the Deluge, Sodom and Gomorrah, Exodus, the events of Joshua's time, and those of Isaiah's time, the Earth would have been under enormous stresses and the resulting gas balls might have been far more frequent. People being struck [in a similar manner to the forest worker cited above] by these discharges might explain many Biblical stories, such as Jacob's dream, the ...

253. The Case for Catastrophe in Historical Times [Journals] [Kronos]
... the waters were bloody, there was nothing for the people to drink - it was undrinkable. The wording and reasoning involved are paralleled in a most uncanny way by two other compositions, the first from Egypt (and dated to the First, or possibly the Second, Intermediate Period)(24) and the second from the Book of Exodus. Why really, the River is blood. If one drinks of it, one rejects (it) as human and thirsts for water.(25) . . . and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and ...
254. Egyptian Influence Upon Early Israelite Literature [Journals] [Aeon]
... , quite unlike the official paganisms of Mesopotamia and, a fortiori, the fertility cult of Canaan...The picture of it offered in Genesis in spite of anachronistic features is certainly no mere backward projection of later Yahwism." [21] According to the Old Testament, the most defining moment for Israel as a nation was its exodus from Egypt. Today, there exists no hard evidence that the Exodus was a real, definable event. However, Bright goes on to say: "Of the Exodus itself, we have no extra-biblical evidence. But the Bible's own witness is so impressive as to leave little doubt that some remarkable deliverance took place. Israel remembered the ...

... by the dating of the memories, though it is amazing how little attention scholars have given to the principles involved here. When independent testimony points to the same HIGHLY SPECIFIC, BUT HIGHLY UNUSUAL EVENTS, that testimony is of huge evidential value.- MORE THAN ONE TYPHON By Dwardu Cardona DEDavis asks: What is the current thinking on the Exodus story, then? CARDONA REPLIES: I'll answer this one cautiously. Most historians today will tell you thatthe Exodus never happened, and this includes many an Israeli historian. For reasons which I cannot quite go into here, I tend to disagree. However, that said, I must also report that in all the years since WORLDS ...
256. A Chronology for the Eighteenth Dynasty [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol II No 3 (1977/78) "From Exodus to Akhnaton" Home | Issue Contents A Chronology for the Eighteenth Dynasty Geoffrey Gammon Copyright (c ) 1977 G. J. Gammon Geoffrey Gammon has an Honours B.A . in History from London University and is currents studying for a Diploma in Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, London University. A crucial test of the revised chronology presented by Velikovsky in "Ages in Chaos" is whether the new synchronisms adduced between the XVIIIth Egyptian Dynasty and the Israelite Monarchy and Divided Kingdom form an internally consistent sequence. Using the latest available data, Geoffrey Gammon has devised a working model for ...
257. The Stratigraphy of Israel [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 1991 Nottingham meeting, adapted slightly for publication and with some parts removed where similar material is published in other SIS volumes. by R. M. Porter Introduction and Chronological Schemes One of the things I hope to do today is to show that the biblical Judges Period fits well with the archaeology of the Middle Bronze Age, thereby putting the Exodus back in Early Bronze, equivalent to Old Kingdom Egypt. I turned to archaeology because there did not seem to be enough historical documentary evidence to find the true chronology. Some have attempted to supplement the historical record with myths and traditions, and that is certainly a valid approach but for myself I have turned primarily to archaeology, especially ...

259. The Hyksos and the Archaeology of Palestine [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol II No 3 (1977/78) "From Exodus to Akhnaton" Home | Issue Contents The Hyksos and the Archaeology of Palestine John Bimson Copyright (c ) 1977 J. J. Bimson The revised placement of the Conquest suggested by Dr Bimson also involves a revision of the archaeological correlations for Egypt's Middle Kingdom and the Hyksos (2nd Intermediate) Period. The archaeological evidence is again found to support this. Introduction In a previous article (1 ) I attempted to show that the conventional date for the end of the Middle Bronze Age in Palestine (c . 1550 BC) is too high by over a century. At the end of ...
260. The Shadow Of Death, Part 1 Venus Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?" The "shadow of death" is related to the time of the wanderings in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt. The sinister meaning of the words "shadow of death" corresponds with the description of the Ermitage Papyrus: "None can live when the sun is veiled by clouds." At intervals the earth was lighted by conflagrations in the desert.(15) The phenomenon of gloom enduring for years impressed itself on the memory ...

... ground from numerous fissures. The celestial body that the great Architect of nature sent close to the earth, made contact with it in electrical discharges, retreated, and approached again. If we are to believe the Scriptural data, there elapsed seven weeks, or by another computation, about two months(8 ) from the day of the Exodus to the day of the revelation at Mount Sinai. "There were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. . . . And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke . . . and the smoke ...
262. Velikovsky and his Critics by Shane Mage [Books]
... the hypothesis that some world-wide series of overwhelming events forms the skeleton of a series of retellings, fleshed out with the unique experience and poetry of each people. Such, at any rate, was the starting point of Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky when in 1939 he undertook a psychoanalytic critique of Freud's Moses and Monotheism thesis, according to which the Exodus and the foundation of Judaism were directed by exiled followers of the iconoclast Pharaoh Akhnaton. He very quickly found himself forced to add a second hypothesis: that the historical reality underlying our world-wide heritage of destruction-myths was correctly identi fled by Plato as a succession of shifts in the orbits of the heavenly bodies. whose consequence was repeated devastation of ...
263. Jericho [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... many cities whose exact location had long been forgotten. Garstang and his associates examined over 100,000 potsherds from the site of Jericho and from these he dated the city's destruction to the middle of the late Bronze Age (c . 1400 B.C . by conventional dating). This was contrary to the generally accepted date of the Exodus and conquest, which was then considered to have occurred at the time of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt, some 200 years later. It was suggested either that his pottery classification was wrong, or that there had been two Exodus events- or even the possibility that not all the Israelites had actually gone into captivity; all were offered ...
264. The Timna Test [Journals] [Aeon]
... archaeological sequence. Israel, no longer seen as a minnow amongst whales, yields glimpses of an actual role as the leviathan of her time. [22] No less important academically, the stoic resistance of Nelson Glueck and William Albright against the "new order" has been fully, although posthumously, vindicated. Timna's Tented Shrine and the Exodus This period ( -306 to + 200) corresponds with the third stage of the Timna temple as a purely Semitic tented shrine, the provenance of which, when erroneously ranged against the conventional scheme, unnecessarily excited the minds of commentators who conjured possible connections with Israel of the Exodus, its leaders and their cultural background: The tent-shrine ...
... about nitrogen, unsure about neon. It is Sagan's cosmological theories which (upon analysis of the evidence) are poorly thought out -if thought out at all- and found severely wanting in the balance."19 Santorini- Atlantis Sagan states, I should also point out that a much more plausible explanation exists for most of the events in Exodus that Velikovsky accepts, an explanation that is much more in accord with physics. The Exodus is dated in 1 Kings as occurring 480 years before the initiation of the construction of the Temple of Solomon. With other supporting calculations, the date of the Biblical Exodus is then computed to be about 1447 B.C . (Covey, ...

... a transfigured life... While waiting, some sit silent and remember the wrathful theophany; others speak with the dead." What fixed my attention on Paul Goodman's essay was his insight in comparing the experience of the persistent reaction of the survivors of Hiroshima with the experience and the subsequent attitude of the Israelites of the days of the Exodus, an event long passed into history; he actually starts his piece by referring to Martin Buber's book on Moses: ". .. the Bible story cannot be taken literally yet is not unhistorical: something, happened that was, to those people, super-natural or crazy, and the account we have received was their attempt to cope ...

... post-Exilic period, it was remembered how the population fled from before the raash in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah' (Zechariah 14:5 ). " In the seventh Plague of Egypt, there fell "a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in all Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now" (Exodus 9:18). Here, too, Velikovsky has examined the translation. "Stones of barad' here translated as hail', is as in most places where mentioned in the Scriptures, the term for meteorites. We are also informed by Midrashic and Talmudic sources that the stones which fell on Egypt were hot; this fits ...

... to the larger society and now have difficulty remembering some of the most important aspects of Geronimo's war. In another century historians, pouring over the records of the settlement of the west, and interpreting it in their own staid emotional terms, will deny that anything like this happened. In the Geronimo story we see the Trojan War, the Exodus, and all of the old stories which have lost their emotional impact for generations that have not experienced the same conditions in their lives. Catastrophism attempts to restore this emotional dimension to our understanding of history. In Velikovsky's treatment of the Exodus, the battles of Joshua, and the traumas of the 7th century B.C . the ...

... No 5 (Summer 1977) Home | Issue Contents A Further Note on the Archaeology of Jericho John J. Bimson Copyright (c )1977 J. J. Bimson DR BIMSON has recently completed a doctorate thesis for the Department of Biblical Studies at the University of Sheffield, dealing with Hebrew chronology with special reference to the dating of the Exodus. He has contributed earlier articles to the Review in this area. In an article dealing with the Israelite Conquest and the revised chronology (1 ), I discussed at some length the destruction of Jericho described in the Old Testament. I argued in detail, from archaeological finds, for an identification of the collapse and destruction of Jericho ...

... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Zeus And Athene If there was a problem in this research which caused prolonged deliberation on the part of the author, it was the question: Was it the planet Jupiter or Venus that caused the catastrophe of the time of Exodus? Some ancient mythological sources point to Venus, other sources point to Jupiter. In one group of legends Jupiter (Zeus) is the protagonist of the drama: he leaves his place in the sky, rushes to battle Typhon, and strikes him with thunderbolts. But other legends and historical sources, too, which I have quoted on previous pages, ...

Thus the Israelites arriving there after the Exodus would have found no walls, since according to the conventional chronology the Exodus took place some 500 years after the end of the Middle Kingdom. (4 ) However, according to the revised chronology of Ages in Chaos, the Exodus took place precisely at the end of the Middle Kingdom. Yigael Yadin found that Hazor was an important ...

It was a time when the Old Kingdom' . . . was ...
