HESS Velikovsky, despite the frustrations of 1955, began the new year on a bright note. He appeared on Clifton Fadiman's January 5 radio program Conversation for a friendly chat with an RCA vice president in charge of research and with Columbia University Graduate Faculties dean Jacques Barzun, a prominent leader of the academic community- and a vocal supporter of Velikovsky. (In his House of Intellect, Barzun singled out ...
352. The Cambridge Conference [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , of years ago, at the time of the Flood, the Cretaceous/Tertiary event marked the division of continents and that the end of the ice-ages occurred around 2,300 BC, caused by an increased tilt of the Earth. John Bimson considered the biblical evidence for catastrophes. Velikovsky's scenario had been founded on the idea of the Exodus taking place at the time of a great catastrophe in the middle of the second millennium BC. Did biblical traditions support this? The implication of the astronomical use of megalithic monuments would indicate that these were built after any major Earth shifting catastrophe and radiocarbon dating led to the conclusion that any such catastrophe took place at the end of the ...
353. Critique of David Rohl's A Test of Time [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of Ammenemes III and integral to David Rohl's flood/famine theory. Similarly, there is no pressing reason to link Joseph and Ammenemes III as contemporaries on these or like grounds. There is however, yet another fundamental weakness in Rohl's position which presents dates unsympathetic to his idea that Joseph should be linked to Dynasty XII. Moses and the Exodus Chapters 12 and 13 of A Test of Time project the notion that Moses was closely associated with the Pharaohs of Dynasty XIII and a list of 37 kings is presented (p . 280) stretching from -1632 (for some reason [Dudi]mose is listed as king 36 at the foot of p. 281) to -1447, ...
354. Micah's Ark [Books] [de Grazia books]
... : "Velikovsky evidently saw in the name a reference to the oracle of Dan." I agree, and Yehu might be interpreted as a form of Yahweh. But Velikovsky did not proceed to identify the oracle further, although this would have strengthened his case all around. In my book on God's Fire: Moses and the Management of Exodus there occur the following lines: We hear that on one occasion the Ark was duplicated by a young man named Micah in his home, a surprising occurrence, reminiscent of claims that the nuclear bomb can be home-made. The lad's mother was quite proud of him; she had consecrated her silver for the purpose (Ju. 17: ...

... particular the Old Testament. Near Eastern Archaeology received its great inspiration from this collection of folk tales, legends and half forgotten happenings. In recent years many scholars have argued for a lower chronology for Egypt. We know that many of the places and people of the Bible existed but we do not know exactly when. That there was an Exodus from Egypt of runaway slaves is quite possible and the writer has argued that this was connected in folk memory with the great eruption of Santorini [7 ]. The early dates for the long lives of the Patriarchs of hundreds of years cannot be accepted, any more than it took God six days to create the world, or that ...
356. A CHRONOLOGICAL CHART OF RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... chart is self-explanatory. Figure 1 is a chronological chart principally covering religious movements from c.1500 BC to the present. These are indicated by the braces and arrows on the right of the time-line. To the left of the time-line are set out two "Velikovskian" intervals. The left-most lays out the interval between Velikovsky's dating of the Exodus (c .1450 BC) and the final catastrophe, while Sennacherib was besieging Jerusalem, in 687 BC. The other is the interval between the Exodus and the "ra'ash" which occurred in the reign of King Uzziah, 747 BC. The former interval is about 763 yrs long, the latter 703 yrs. In most cases ...

... in the religious ceremonies of nearly all nations (Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, etc.), and it is natural to find it holding a prominent place in the tabernacle and temple-worship of Israel. The newer critical theory that incense was a late importation into the religion of Israel, and that the altar of incense described in Exodus 30:1 ff. is a post-exilian invention, rests on presuppositions which are not here admitted, and is in contradiction to the express notices of the altar of incense in I Kings 6:20, 22; 7:48; 9:25; cf. 2 Chronicles 4:19 . . . The incense used in ...

... Hypothesis. I missed this talk, but I gather that Zysman's theory involves some kind of Ice Shield which enveloped the Earth in prehistoric times and that this produced a variety of tricks of the light. These were observed by mankind and gave rise to the myths relating to gods and planets. SATURDAY AFTERNOON: EV COCHRANE: Moses and the Exodus. This talk seemed to be suggesting that the planet involved in Velikovsky's scenario for the Exodus was not Venus but Mars. However it was wide-ranging and included references to the name for the Jewish god - El - being also Saturn. Points made included: links of Ur and Ugarit to the Old Testament; the uncertain location of Mt ...

... your active reaction and involvement. We owe a great deal to the theories of Dr. Velikovsky. However, we hope to go beyond the theories and continue discussions unhampered by restraints. In this issue we have articles that question and challenge his historical theories. Yet all of us owe him a great debt for his work in placing the Exodus at the end of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. In fact, recently in the Biblical Archaeologist the late Professor Aharoni convincingly demonstrated that the Conquest following the Exodus took place in the Negev precisely at the end of the Middle Kingdom (more on this in Interaction). On the theories of catastrophism by Dr. Velikovsky we will deal ...
360. Mythic Mountains by Isaac Vail [Books]
... , they must be blissfully blind and deaf. MOUNT SINAI. The divine mountain of the Hebrews was a height so supernal in its nature that no human foot could approach it save as the sufferance of the Deity removed the prohibition. The edict of Nature's God was that "Whosoever toucheth the mount shall be put to death". (Exodus 19:12.) By this we are to understand that it had been made inaccessible to humanity by any means of approach except through the Gate of Death. Now the polar opening was esteemed by the great mass of men the actual gate through which the immortal spirit entered the upper world. This utmost end of the earth was ...
361. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Two [Books]
... separates Plutarch's Typhon from V's is either a triumph of collective amnesia or an indication that V has been twisting Plutarch's texts by quoting them out of context. It should by now be abundantly plain that I myself prefer the latter explanation! Also on WIC p.93, V deals with the supposed link between the flight of Typhon and the Exodus of Moses from Egypt. Such a link is supportive of V's case insofar as the Exodus is supposed to have taken place during the earth's encounters with Typhon, the Venus Comet. The passage of Plutarch which is claimed to support this link is in section 31 of "Isis and Osiris", and reads as follows: "As ...
... , what exactly are Velikovsky's contentions? At first blush, the answer might seem obvious- that Venus 85 86 Beyond Velikovsky came, as a comet, from Jupiter; caused catastrophes on earth about i 500 s.c .; and so on- Velikovsky's account of celestial events, in other words. But Velikovsky also contends that the Exodus occurred during a great natural catastrophe, one of the encounters of earth with Venus. If it turns out to be certainly proven that there was a catastrophe during Exodus, but one not caused by Venus, what would we then say? That Velikovsky was partly right? Or, if an encounter with Venus did occur but not during ...
363. Editorial C&AH 10:1 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History X:1 (Jan 1988) Home | Issue Contents Editorial CATASTROPHISM AND ANCIENT HISTORY enters its tenth year. We are drawing "conventional" scholars into the debates on dating the Exodus. This is the only way real movement can be made in solving these perplexing questions. Our first article is by Professor Stiebing. He examines the suggestion that the Early Bronze Age was the time of the Exodus. We will have several answers to his questions in forthcoming issues. The second article is by Donald Patten on the floods of Mars. One cannot understand the history of mankind without delving into the history of the earth, solar system, galaxy ...
364. The Still-Lost City of Avaris: The Capital and Stronghold of the Hebrew Pharaohs (Hyksos) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... which they come before the Middle Kingdom, and is borne out by the evidence presented by J.M . Weinstein, who states that MBIIA to B levels were the beginning of the Hyksos rule in Egypt, rather than in 1750 B.C . This is what finding Avaris is all about- dating the chronology of Egypt and the Exodus of the Children of Israel who were the ancestors of the Hyksos,38 according to Josephus. The wall39 Bietak found at Tell-el-Dab'a was early 18th Dynasty. This would not, therefore, be the early Hyksos wall of Avaris, which was built when they first entered Egypt. Bietak does say that the burial customs and equipment reveal the ...

... documents, among them the Bible, could be read in a technical way. However, he did not publish his findings until after his retirement. In Forntidens teknik (Technology of Ancient Time)(3 ) and Försvunnen teknik (Lost Technology)(4 ) Kjellson points to the strange preoccupation with safety-measures and damage in the passages of Exodus and other books describing the Arc of the Covenant. He believed that the passages actually described a physically dangerous structure.(5 ) Now let us consider details in Kjellson's argumentation: In Exodus 25:10-11 we read that: ". . . they shall make an arc of shittim wood . . . and . . . overlay ...

... southern shore.2 The isle lay prostrate, overwhelmed by the elements. When, finally, the survivors or their descendants began the work of restoration, their labour was destroyed again in an "overthrow."3 Barely half a century passed between these two catastrophes: one synchronical with the end of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt and the Exodus,4 the other, one or two generations later. In the later phase of Middle Minoan III the phenomena "conclusively point to a seismic cause for the great overthrow that befell the Palace and surrounding Town."5 "Throughout the exposed areas of the building [palace] there is evidence of a great overthrow, burying with ...
368. Forum [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the hieroglyphic determinative used for Israel in Merenptah's Stele "suggests that the Israelites were not yet a settled people". In Egyptian there are hieroglyphic determinatives for "people" and "land" but there is no such thing as a determinative for an "unsettled" people. It is merely assumed in the conventional chronology (in which the Exodus and Conquest are thought to have taken place around the time of Merenptah) that the people determinative indicates an unsettled condition for Israel, i.e . before it became a formal state, simply to fit the theory that the Israelites were in the process of entering Canaan at the time. We must be careful, therefore, not ...
369. A Question of Logic [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History I:2 (Apr 1979) Home | Issue Contents A Question of Logic Lester J. Mitcham It is now more than thirty years since the Theses of Immanuel Velikovsky first appeared. Many, myself included, accept their initial concept. With them it is possible to date, with reasonable accuracy, the Exodus, the Hyksos era, and the first portion of the Eighteenth Dynasty. For the last, I am aware there are several different dating methods, but I can agree in principle with Thesis 59 which places Thutmose Ill in the beginning of the ninth century, B.C . What is Velikovsky's chronology for the latter portion of this ...

... , born in 1895. He graduated in medicine in Moscow in 1921, and after various other occupations and places of residence he was to be found practicing psychoanalysis in Tel Aviv in the Thirties. A book he projected on Freud's heroes was the unlikely germ of all his later work, for it led him to think about Moses and the Exodus. Now the Bible portrays the Exodus as taking place amid a series of extraordinary natural disasters; and especially when Velikovsky found an Egyptian document which seemed to refer to the same events, he began to wonder whether the disasters might not have been real. Natural Catastrophism Ten years later Worlds in Collision presented his evidence, accumulated from testimony ...

... bibliography which shows little acquaintance with specialist journals or standard works. - Egyptologists, too, will be justifiably dismayed at the appearance in Courville's paper of such personages as "Hrior", "Namareth", "Harmhab" and "Pani". The first part of this paper, despite its title, deals with the Israelite bondage, exodus and conquest, and reiterates the arguments of the author's Exodus Problem, without adducing any new evidence; the reconstruction presented suffers from an uncritical acceptance of Petrie's and Brugsch's no longer credible theory of the Assyrian origins of the 22nd Dynasty. Dr Courville seems on firmer ground in stressing the continuity of the 18th-20th Dynasties, but devotes many, ...

374. The Birth Of Venus, Part 1 Venus Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... old texts speak "of the change that took place, at the moment of the great catastrophe of the deluge, in the condition of many constellations, principal among them being precisely Tlahuizcal-panteuctli or the star of Venus."(22) The cataclysm, accompanied by a prolonged darkness, appears to have been that of the days of the Exodus, when a tempest of cinders darkened the world disturbed in its rotation. Some of the references may allude to the subsequent catastrophe of the time of the conquest by Joshua, when the sun remained for more than a day in the sky of the old world. Since it was the same comet that on both occasions made contact with ...

Kaempffert corrected Gaposchkin's date for the tablets by reducing the age of Ammizaduga, in compliance with the modern revision of Babylonian chronology, from 2000 B.C . to the sixteenth century B.C ., or only a few decades before my date of the Exodus. I wrote an answer to my critic and brought it personally to the editor of The New York Times Book Review, Francis Brown. Harvey Breit, on seeing me, came over to say a few kind words. My answer and Kaempffert's rebuttal were printed with the heading "Dr. Velikovsky vs. Mr. Kaempffert: A ...
