... became the planet Venus) passed close to the Earth about 1450 B.C . This near collision, he argued, produced world-wide earthquakes, tidal waves, pestilence, and other catastrophes. It also caused [a ] temporary halt in the Earth's rotation. Velikovsky further asserted that these catastrophic events are reflected in the Biblical accounts of the Exodus and of the Sun standing still for a day during the Israelite conquest of Canaan. The cosmic catastrophes were supposedly repeated in the eighth century B.C . Velikovsky thought them responsible for the destruction of the Assyrian army of Sennacherib who was besieging Jerusalem at that time (II Kings 18: 13-19: 36). Velikovsky's views were ...
... again mixed, and frequent reference was made to that earlier book and the controversy it had generated. Ages in Chaos Velikovsky had actually written Ages in Chaos and Worlds in Collision concurrently. Both works stemmed from identifying accounts in the Bible and in the Papyrus Ipuwer as of the sanie set of actual events, a cosmic catastrophe during which the Exodus took place. Worlds in Collision describes the physical events on earth and in the heavens, whereas Ages in Chaos deals with the social and political histories. In the recorded history of Egypt as conventionally interpreted, Velikovsky says, one finds no references to events of major significance in the history of the Jews- the "glorious age of ...
328. Sagan's Folly Part 1 [Journals] [Kronos]
... the name was affiliated with the Sun. Once again, Sagan displays a total ignorance of divine nomenclature and planetary worship, and a naïeveté regarding mankind's theological "cosmic connection". Sagan (p . 18): "There is a contention (page 63 [of W in C])that instead of the tenth plague of the Exodus killing the first born' of Egypt, what is intended is the killing of the chosen. ' This is a rather serious matter, and at least raises the suspicion that where the Bible is inconsistent with Velikovsky's hypothesis, Velikovsky retranslates the Bible. The foregoing queries may all have simple answers, but the answers are not to be ...

Ages in Chaos Volume I: From the Exodus to King Akhnaton CHAPTER FIVE Ras Shamra Immanuel Velikovsky The Timetable of Minoan and Mycenaean Culture On a spring day in 1928 a peasant plowing his field near the shore of Ras Shamra in northern Syria lifted the stone of a burial vault. In 1929 and in the following years, in twelve seasons of excavation,1 buildings of a city and its harbor were unearthed together with pottery, utensils, jewelry, and the tablets of a library. This obscure place, not even marked on maps, lies to the north of Latakia, the ancient Laodicea ad mare, at a point on the Syrian coast opposite the elongated arm of ...

From: Catastrophism and Ancient History X:2 (July 1988) Home | Issue Contents Editorial As CATASTROPHISM AND ANCIENT HISTORY finishes its tenth wonderful year we continue to blaze a trail for serious study of the Exodus and a chronology that will link the Old Testament to ancient history. We must continue to get establishment scholars into this debate. Our first article is the final installment of Professor Stiebing. Here he takes to task those scholars who theorize that the end of the Middle Bronze Age was the time of the Exodus. The second article is by Samuel Windsor. He has been working closely with Donald Patten to set up a scenario for global catastrophes. The third article ...

... the earlier part of the Dyn. 20 period) would reflect the military security enjoyed during the fluorit of the United Monarchy (cf. 10/2 ,26f. for biblical evidence of Israel's largely unsettled state before this time), instead of (inappropriately) conditions ca. earliest or mid-Judges (with a late LB or late MB Exodus, respectively). If, as is plausibly indicated, there was a latest Late Bronze Age / earliest Iron Age overlap, this dating would be compatible with a latest LB dating of the long-sought Solomonic cities (see 10/2 , 27ff; compare and contrast James and Morkot, Centuries of Darkness pp. 197f.)

... Carter, Inspector General of the Antiquities Department in Egypt. When the sealed tomb was opened it contained a large, painted limestone statue of the king wrapped in linen and placed on its side- a burial in effigy. The Bible relates the history of the Israelites during these times in the last chapters of Genesis and the first chapters of Exodus as follows. Two years after the Seven Lean Years began, Jacob and his seventy decendants besides Joseph were invited by the Pharaoh to settle in the land of Goshen in the northeast part of the Nile Delta; thus began the sojourn in Egypt. About 350 years later, Moses was born and taken in by the daughter of Pharaoh ...

I'm interested in your coming here and what happened that led to Worlds in Collision - particularly when you were looking at the history of Exodus. Is that when you started on your reconstruction?

But I came to this country when other people had long established their careers. In my case, I was forty-four when I carne to this country ...
336. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... papers introduced readers to various Hebrew and Greek chronological traditions that had hitherto been neglected by revisionists and orthodox historians alike, apparently on the grounds that they were, in the main, spurious. One of these traditions concerned the said 94 year rule. Until recently, I could see no effective way to either stretch biblical chronology to supply an Exodus in the time of Pepi II's successor Antyemsaf II, or to reduce the dates of this latter king so that they were compatible with the Bible data. Hence the rather speculative interpretation involving the 94 years wherein I proposed that it represented a period of time and the rules of two kings, similarly named. This was a compromise, ...

... . Now, in its origin, an altar was a raised table or block where blood sacrifices or burnt offerings were submitted to a deity. First fruits remind one at once of the firstborn (the opener of the womb) which, as we have seen, were often offered as a sacrifice to divinities. Thus in the Book of Exodus it is told: "And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying. Sanctify to me every first-born that opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of men and of animals; for they are mine...You shall set apart to the Lord every first-born that opens the womb and every firstling that comes of the ...

... . by Dr Victor Clube, Senior Principal Scientific Officer at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh. Dr Clube and his colleague Bill Napier are co-authors of The Cosmic Serpent, a new book proposing a theory of cometary catastrophism - while it differs from Velikovsky's on major points, it takes into account upheavals in historical times, such as those of the Exodus, that figure prominently in Velikovsky's work. Further contributions from the American researcher M. M. Mandelkehr on the evidence for a major global catastrophe around 2300 BC, including studies of the climatological, geological, astronomical and mythological evidence.

... hallucination or god, and so the volition of each pharaoh was Osiris, the chief god, who was his "ka" or bicameral voice. Osiris commands the building of the pyramids to his glory in the same way that a millennium later Yahweh with great architectural detail commands Moses to build an ark and a tabernacle to his glory (Exodus 25-27), or as the Greek earth Goddess, Demeter, commands that a temple be built at Eleusis to her glory (Homeric Hymn to Demeter, lines 271ff.), or in many other examples. In Egypt, however, when the pharaoh dies - as we would call the process - he is absorbed into his " ...

... mainly he discussed the Ark of the Covenant, which, with its contents, was the holiest object during early Jewish history. Its construction was described as follows: ". .. they shall make an ark of shittim wood... and .. .overlay it with pure gold, within and without..." (Exodus 25:10-11). Kjellson concluded it contained a radioactive substance so that either he or Hagman paraphrased the above quotation, using his insight and today's scientific language to read: And they shall make a beta-radiation-charging Leyden jar of shittim wood and gold. ' A Leyden jar is a capacitive device capable of holding an electrical charge between two ...
341. Possible Ways Forward [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . They tend to talk about their own scheme and disregard the views of other authors. Can some of these researchers not find some common ground, some common areas of agreement? Do we not have to come to agreement that certain basic matters are held in common - e.g . that a historical Solomon existed, or that the Exodus took place with a historical Moses in command? Another aspect is the need for authors to take into account the progress of their subject. Ideas may have been refuted previously and they must counter that refutation, not just disregard it. The recent citing of the Oera Linda book is a case in point. This book had been shown ...
342. The Cosmic Winter by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [SIS Review]
... was the artificial product of a catastrophic chronological glitch, and thus evidence of cosmic disaster. In Mark II, on the contrary, the Dark Age is real... and, therefore, evidence of cosmic disaster. There is no explanation or apologia for this volte-face. In Serpent' the evidence par excellence for proto-Encke encounters was the Exodus; in Winter', tucked away among the notes (no.56) it has been decided that Halley's comet, instead, was the Exodus object (sacrificing at a stroke any of Velikovsky's Venus/Exodus evidence). The Acid Test Let us note now that the great historical discriminator between Velikovsky and Clube & Napier is that ...

345. Can Psychoanalysis be a Science? An Introduction to Velikovsky [Journals] [Horus]
... . He came to the United States in 1939 for what was intended to be a few months of exclusive research into this question. But as he reviewed the ancient sources for clues to Freud's reasoning regarding Moses' identity and role in Egypt, Velikovsky became intrigued with another thought. To him the conditions under which Moses led the Israelites' Exodus seemed to be the occurrence of a series of widespread natural disasters before, during, and after their departure from Egypt. Descriptions of rains of hot stones, a prolonged period of intense darkness, widespread volcanic activity, tidal waves, repeated earthquakes, swarms of vermin, hurricane winds, all suggested an extended natural disruption of immense proportion ...

... with water present as very alkaline lakes. Indeed, the environment was so different from the North American dinosaur scene that a major shake-up in theories on dinosaur environments is likely: hitherto, the vast majority of scientifically investigated dinosaur finds have been from North America, and only aquatic and semi-aquatic swamp environments have been envisaged. Another New Date for Exodus sources: Biblical Archaeology Review Sept/Oct 1987, pp.40-68: Biblical Archaeology Review Nov/Dec 1987, pp.56-61 John J. Bimson and David Livingston have presented a challenging case for a mid-15th century BC date for the Exodus (and c.1400 BC for the Conquest). This is achieved by redating the ...

... OF THE JEWS, IV (Philadelphia 1913), p.182 Shishak, the ruler of Egypt, who was father-in-law of Solomon, came to Jerusalem and demanded his daughter's jointure [from Rehoboam]. He carried off the throne of Solomon, and also the treasure which the Israelites had taken from the Egyptians at the time of the exodus. So the Egyptian money returned to its source. ' A second passage (LEGENDS... IV, pp.159-60) supports this but adds the information that we are not concerned with a possible Egyptian wife of Rehoboam but definitely the widowed queen of Solomon - Shishak, the father-in-law of Solomon, appropriated it as an indemnity ...

And in the darkness "a smoking furnace and blazing torch passed."[15] Later on occur the catastrophes of Sodom and Gomorrah, Joseph (Egyptian famine), Exodus, Joshua, David, Elijah, Amos, and Isaiah. The catastrophe of Exodus brought complete darkness for some days: "They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days."
