... From: SIS Workshop Vol 6 No 2 (Aug 1985) Home | Issue Contents Views In Brief 1. C. Leroy Ellenberger of St Louis comments on Sagan's treatment of the volume of manna precipitated at the Exodus, which was brought up by Paul Standring in WORKSHOP 5:3 , pp.19-20. He notes that Sagan's calculation is a reductio ad absurdum having little relevance to what Velikovsky described in WORLDS IN COLLISION. Whereas Velikovsky posited a one-time deposition of hydrocarbons in Earth's atmosphere from the tail of Venus, converted to manna over a period of 40 years, Sagan ignored K. K. Wong in PENSEE IVR III pp.45-46 and calculated the size of ...
302. Old Testament Tales (OTT) – Introduction [Journals] [SIS Review]
... :2 (May 2004) Home | Issue Contents Old Testament Tales (OTT) – Introduction David Salkeld Professor Thomas Thompson, an American archaeologist and biblical scholar, wrote that the first ten books of the Old Testament are almost certainly works of fiction, and lack any supporting archaeological or historical evidence: the Israelite sojourn in Egypt, the Exodus and the Conquest of Canaan never took place, and: it is out of the question that Moses – or Saul, David and Solomon, described as kings in the Bible – could have existed' (The Independent on Sunday [IOS], 28.3 .03). A few days later the Independent published a letter ...

From: SIS Workshop Vol 2 No 4 (Apr 1980) Home | Issue Contents Letters Parthenogenesis and Plagues Dear Sir, I couldn't help but note the correlation between the plague of frogs, gadflies, gnats and locusts during the Exodus (Ex. 8:1-14, Psalms 78:45 and 105:30) and the following excerpt from the book Life Manipulation: From Test Tube Babies to Ageing by David G. Lygre (Walker & Co. 1979) "Parthenogenesis (literally virgin birth') is a process where an unfertilised egg starts to divide and develop as an embryo. If all goes well, the end product is a baby whatever. It happens ...
304. A Chart to Illustrate the Conquest of Canaan [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol II No 3 (1977/78) "From Exodus to Akhnaton" Home | Issue Contents A Chart to Illustrate the Conquest of Canaan John Bimson Dr Bimson studied at the Department of Biblical Studies, Sheffield University, where he completed his doctorate thesis dealing with Hebrew chronology with special reference to the dating of the Exodus. He has contributed earlier articles to the S.I .S . Review in this area, and is currently continuing his research into the stratigraphy and chronology of ancient Palestine. It is now generally agreed among Biblical scholars that the Israelite Conquest of Canaan under Joshua took place towards the end of the Late Bronze Age, in ...

306. Pot Pourri [Journals] [SIS Review]
... but his work, the first truly methodical survey of the Giza site, showed that all of the seemingly significant calculations of his predecessors had been founded, literally, on so much sand and rubble'. The author concludes that the riddle of why people believe in Pyramidology lies not with Egyptologists, but with psychologists'. Moses and the Exodus Jeremy Bowen is the latest to investigate the historicity of Moses and the Exodus. In Moses (BBC1, 1 Dec. 2002), he made a valiant attempt to find a historical setting for them, yet seemed unable to break away from the supposed link to Ramesses II, fatally weakening his case. Bowen started off well by ...

308. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... on these routes. Solomon's earthly riches, it could be argued, accrued to the royal family in the same way wealth is amassed amongst the sheikhs of the Gulf States in the modern world. In the 1940s and 50s Egypt loudly opposed the inception of the modern state of Israel and in Ages in Chaos Egypt became the villain of the Exodus. Velikovsky's historical villains included the Assyrians and the Babylonians, and today Iraq and Syria are still opposed to a Jewish state. Since the SIS Glasgow Conference, revisions of ancient history have taken a variety of shapes and forms - influenced either by Velikovsky or the SIS Glasgow school: two distinct camps. Some revisionists remain convinced of the ...
309. The Sulman Temple in Jerusalem [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol II No 3 (1977/78) "From Exodus to Akhnaton" Home | Issue Contents The Sulman Temple in Jerusalem Immanuel Velikovsky Copyright (c ) 1978 I. Velikovsky The el-Amarna letters, most scholars believe, date from the 14th century BC, while there is no doubt that the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem was constructed in the mid-10th century BC. As a further challenge to the conventional scheme, Velikovsky presents evidence that the Temple of Solomon was mentioned in the el-Amarna letters, resulting in an "anachronism" of four centuries in the accepted chronology that would be fully corrected by his proposed lowering of Egyptian dates by over five hundred years ...
310. THE ROAD TO SATURN (EXCERPTS FROM AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY) [Journals] [Aeon]
... a few pages. I did not buy the book. I merely placed it back on the shelf. I never even noticed the author's name. Here, I thought to myself, was another foolish attempt by some pseudo-scholar who was out to prove, in some pseudo-scientific way, that the miracles of the Old Testament, especially those of Exodus, were really misunderstood natural phenomena. By this time the radio noises from Jupiter, as predicted by Velikovsky, had already been detected. Textbooks on astronomy, however, were still preaching a universe void of any forces other than gravitation. Entire galaxies, it had already been discovered, were even then colliding with one another. But ...
311. Artificially Structured Biblical Chronologies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... i.e . 7 lots of 21 years. The duration of his life, its chronological arrangement, including his chronological interaction with Joseph, should all be viewed as non-factual, symbolic and artificially structured, possibly for cyclical purposes. Example D: The High Priestly family of the House of Aaron The following sequence of ages is taken from Exodus 6:16-20: Figure 4 (1 ) Levi 137 years (2 ) Kohath 133 years (3 ) Amram 137 years TOTAL 407 years The total of 407 years is very significant in view of the context in which it is found. The author of this passage was so concerned that there should be no doubt about which Aaron ...
312. Introduction (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... AVAILABLE Contents Introduction THIS VOLUME, which is part of the Ages in Chaos series dealing with the reconstruction of ancient history, can be read independently of the other volumes in that series. The entire period of reconstruction covers a span of twelve centuries, from the end of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt, which I claim was synchronous with the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, down to the advent of Alexander the Great of Macedon, and even beyond, namely, to the earlier Ptolemies, Hellenistic rulers of Egypt. The present volume deals with the more than two hundred years at the end of that span. Ages in Chaos, Volume I, From the Exodus to King ...
313. The Worship Of Mars, Part 2 Mars Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... The body which periodically- once in fourteen to sixteen years- approached the orbit of the earth must have been of considerable mass, for it was able to influence the rotation of the earth. Apparently, however, it was much smaller than Venus, or it did not approach so closely, because the catastrophes of the days of the Exodus and the Conquest were greater than those of the time of Uzziah, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. Nevertheless, for the peoples who lived at that time, they must have been impressive experiences and must have been incorporated in their cosmogonic mythologies. Shall we be able, when inquiring into this matter, to find guiding hints to help us ...
314. Shamir [Journals] [SIS Review]
... made on the sixth day of creation' suggests it was known in the distant past. However it seems improbable that so much accurate but unlikely detail about it should have been preserved uncorrupted for so long. If a radium source had decayed to lead and lost virtually all effectiveness by -587, it would have been little more active at the Exodus. It is odd that LoJ's only two accounts of shamir's use relate to the post-Exodus period and an already useless substance was carefully preserved for 800 more years. An alternative solution is that shamir was a substance with a half-life much shorter than radium, which would decay from a highly-energetic state to virtual inactivity in the space of a few ...

318. Four Faces of Collective Psychology [Journals] [Horus]
... that celestial events caused great storms, volcanoes, earthquakes and other upheavals which threatened our species with extinction, not "billions and billions of years ago" (as the noted uniformitarian, Carl Sagan, might put it), but in relatively recent times. When the Bible mentions that plague, pestilence and great upheavals occurred prior to the Exodus, Velikovsky tends to see in this description at least the possibility that natural events were being reported. From his work, therefore, he postulated a history that few had ever suspected had happened or ever could have happened, and in so doing became ostracized in scientific circles; condemned, his works are considered little more than "science ...
... and therefore laws must conform with historical facts, not facts with laws. The reader . . . is invited to consider for himself whether lie is reading.., fiction or non-fiction,.., invention or historical fact. . It was in the spring of 1940 that I came upon the idea that in the days of the Exodus, as evident from many passages of the Scriptures, there occurred a great physical catastrophe, and that such an event could serve in determining the time of the Exodus in Egyptian history. . . . Already in the fall of that same year, 1940, I felt that I had acquired an understanding of the real nature and extent ...

... V. s Ages in Chaos. Second, there was the geological batch, which could also be epitomized in V. s Earth in Upheaval. Let us see what V. did with time in both regards. V. aligned and connected Jewish and Egyptian history which had hitherto gone along on separate tracks. The alignment settled upon the Exodus at about 1450 B.C ., the Biblical date tied it into the end of the 13th Dynasty of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt with Hyksos invaders as the Amalekite enemies of the Biblical Hebrews. He begins the splendid 18th Dynasty of Egypt at the time of Saul and David. King Solomon he places alongside Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt ...

... committed the opposite fallacy of assuming Velikovsky's entire theory to be proved by evidence that some of his predictions about Venus, the moon and Jupiter may be correct). Hopefully, in the future other specialists in ancient history will join the discussion and present their views on Velikovsky's theories. Velikovsky's position is that in the days of Moses, the Exodus and the conquest of Canaan under Joshua (which he dates to the fourteenth century B.C .) a universal catastrophe overwhelmed the earth-a comet (which later became the planet Venus) passed close to the earth causing tidal waves, earthquakes, pestilence, unnatural darkness, death and other destruction, while causing a temporary halt in the ...

324. The Celestial Ship of North Vol. I [Books]
... Egypt is reborn annually as her waters add layer after layer to her soil, she literally comes from herself like her great goddess Isis. In Egyptian mythology, typology, and symbology the celestial is primordial and continually contains the clue to the terrestrial; the earthly is ever but the image of the heavenly. Egypt has no Genesis, no Exodus, her rootage cannot be traced back to any line. Her offspring is civilization. "Divinest foresight could have found no fitter cradle for the youthful race, no more quickening birthplace for the early mind of man, no mouthpiece more adapted, for utterance to the whole world fruitful and fertile for man and beast, Life was easy ...
