... not necessarily mean that the planet Venus was ejected from Saturn, although that also remains a possibility. Finally, it is obvious that Seitz is not too familiar with Velikovsky's series of events as presented in Worlds in Collision. This is evidenced when Seitz states that, according to Velikovsky, Venus' threatened collision with Earth during the time of Exodus was "diverted at the last minute by Mars." [21] As all serious Velikovsky students are aware, nowhere is a "last minute" diversion by Mars described by Velikovsky. According to him, direct collision was averted by an electrostatic cushioning effect. "The head of the comet [Venus] did not crash into ...
402. A Brief Summary of the Evidence for a Gap in the Bible and Much Earlier Dates for Many of its Major Events [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... tents for themselves, like barbarians. Then Ipuwer had to inform the King that although he was the shepherd of all mankind, half his herd had departed in the night, taking with it much of the wealth of the land. Neferrohu confirmed that Anu, the birthplace of all the gods, was deserted. In the story of the Exodus Moses also led his people out by night, taking with them Egyptian gold and silver. It is easy to see how the description of the escape from these very real catastrophes in Egypt could be transformed into a ceremony of magical deliverance, as described in the Hebrew version. c. 2100(?): Evidence of a freak ...
... or four of these points, but the overall reconstruction was still maintained as being valid. In 1952, Velikovsky published Ages in Chaos which contained a more detailed explanation and support for the various points made in the Theses. Ages in Chaos was only the first of a now-projected four-volume work; and therefore covered only the time period from the Exodus to the reign of the Pharaoh Akhenaton. Portions of that text will be reviewed here, although the reader is again referred to Velikovsky's own work for an intriguing detailed discussion. PAPYRUS IPUWER In the Theses, Velikovsky stated that the Papyrus Ipuwer comprises a text which originated shortly after the close of the Middle Kingdom; the original text was ...

405. The Two Sargons and Their Successors (Part II) [Journals] [Aeon]
... saturated with Egyptian elements while "the Babylonian influence in the language is so minute as to be almost nonexistent."(76) This makes it difficult to explain if this literature was really compiled during, or after, the Babylonian exile. Yahuda's studies renders it more likely that these books were put into writing not long after the Israelite exodus from Egypt. Be that as it may, this is not the place to evaluate the merits of these hypotheses, especially since the last word on this subject is not yet in. Even so, in view of what we have already stated concerning the writing of history in retrospect, we can temporarily live quite comfortably with either theory ...
406. Caananites, Chronologies and Connections, by Susan Cohen [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Pharaoh Nehesy. (Bietak shows that the MB ceramics of strata F are plentiful in the eastern Delta, and only there, and postulates that it was from the eastern Delta that Nehesy ruled a separate kingdom). This book is an impressive addition to our knowledge of this era and important with respect to those postulating alternative chronologies. The Exodus from Egypt led by Moses has been considered to have occurred in at least three places in Egyptian history; at the end of EBIII (Courville), at the end of MBIIc (Velikovsky, Bimson, Rohl), or at the end of LB. For the EBIII supporters, the MBI period is Joshua's tribal occupation and the ...

... reflected in tree ring chronologies. Alpine glaciers advanced and there is evidence of a retreat of the tree line. In Chapter 8, Dunbavin examines a variety of flood legends, including the biblical version. He mentions the Epic of Gilgamesh, Utnapishtim, Sir Leonard Woolley's flood deposit at Ur (dated around 3000 BC), and claims the Exodus event also involved a flood. In spite of this he goes on, however hard we try it is not possible to assign Exodus to a period as early as 3000 BC'. Manetho, he claims, placed a great flood in the period shortly before Menes, namely at around 3000 BC. There are references to a flood ...
408. Introduction (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... extant. Judea was caught between the two contesting great powers and suffered until it lost its statehood; the population was exiled to Babylon, while a minor part escaped to Egypt only to be removed to Babylon, too, on the strength of a provision stipulated in the same treaty. Merneptah-Hophrama'e, sometimes thought to be the Pharaoh of the Exodus, is shown to be the Pharaoh of the Exile, and an enormous stretch of time separates these two events in the history of the Jewish people- the Wandering in the Desert, the Conquest of Canaan, and the period of the Judges and the Kings down to the last king of the Davidian Dynasty. Having exposed here the main ...
409. The Synchronistic Chronical: A Critique [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... is, having accepted the Ilu-shuma/Sumu-abun synchronism, that one must then place the Ilu-shuma line in accord with the relative placement of the Amorite Dynasty at Babylon. Dr. Courville then hinges the end of the Amorite Dynasty on the relative dating of the early Hittite dynasty at Boghazkoy down by 200 years on the traditional chronology. In The Exodus Problem and its RamificationsDr. Courville places the Mursilis' raid c. 1230 B.C .- the time of the 4ssyrian king Tukulti-Ninurta I; however, by adopting a "triple" line of kings for early Assyria he now (IBS, Vol. 2) aligns Mursilis with Enlil-Nirari, c. 1320 B.C . ...

... based on the same subject as before. Janek's previous talk was about his conclusions from a study of alignments that the Earth recently had a 90-degree obliquity. This time he made his introduction a suggestion that he would probably confuse us and then covered so much ground that I am afraid he succeeded in parts. His starting theme, that the Exodus occurred during the Amarna period, immediately gave way to the possibility that the Exodus was an account of the same catastrophe as the Flood. There were many parallels between the two and much of the supposed Continued from p. 56 historical time between them could have been could have been a creation. Janek discussed the changes in numbers of ...
411. Conquest of Canaan, and, Hyksos and the Archaeology of Palestine [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... end of MB II C is the time of the Joshua destruction, then that should mean that the Hyksos had been ruling in Egypt and probably Canaan for at least the forty years comprising the period of wandering in the desert before reaching Jericho. This is true according to Dr. Velikovsky because the Hyksos entered Egypt at the time of the Exodus. There is a second reason that MB II C should have Hyksos' seals in it. If Dr. Velikovsky is right about the disaster at the end of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, then there should be a destruction layer in the Holy Land. If the end of MB II C is the time of Joshua, then ...

... Golden Bull', Taurus." Hamlet's Mill, see above, p. 60. Because such statements are not supported with references, many scholars avoid Hamlet's Mill. While medieval paintings exist showing Moses with horns, this is understood as confusion based upon the Latin cornuta (horned or cuckolded) and coronata (haloed or crowned). Exodus 34:29 today is translated and reads that Moses' face was "radiant" and "aglow," as opposed to having horns, leprosy, or something else wrong with it. Poor work habits of Eusebius Hieronymus (aka St. Jerome), 347-420 CE, or a later transcriber? It matters not in this, ...
413. Rohl's theory [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... xd/d , etljhan@etlxdmx.ericsson.se Date: 18 Sep 1995 17:31:38 GMT I saw the last of the TV programs on David Rohl's theory last night. One thing conspicuous by its absence, was any reference to the Ipuwer Papyrus. As I recall, this is a strong parallel of the biblical exodus, describing the plagues etc., and the death of the pharaoh in "the place of the whirlpool" whilst chasing runaway slaves... This correlation was drawn by Velikovsky as the main plank of his Ages in Chaos book, and to my mind the correspondence was over-whelming. So how does it stand in relation to Rohl's ...
414. SIS Study Group 17th June 2000 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Courville was able to shorten the overall period of Judges. The larger numbers were clearly inconsistent if taken literally. Josephus did not always agree with the OT numbers and David Roth wondered whether Josephus could be regarded as an independent source. Did he have access to both the Septuagint and original ancient sources? The choice of the Pharaoh of the Exodus was also discussed. Did Manetho make his identification of Dudimose' from Egyptian or Hebrew sources? Most revisionists used the Egyptian drought texts to make their selection, then retained the OT numbers and reduced the Egyptian chronology accordingly. Tony Chavasse said the duration of the Sojourn and Dynasties 6, 7 and 8 were the same and they were ...

... myriad constellations of sublimation. The Disastrous Love Affair of Moon and Mars: Celestial sex, earthly destruction, and dramatic sublimation in Homer's Odyssey. A complete but incredible case can be built up from an ancient chant that has Mars, Moon, Venus, and Earth in close and destructive encounters. God's Fire: Moses and the Management of Exodus. I have found no book that deals adequately with the psychology of Moses, and therefore have portrayed fully the workings of his mind. No study has properly embraced Moses in his two great capacities as a manager and scientist, and so I have reconstructed these his qualities as well. Furthermore, the Exodus and Wanderings, those operations ...

... see, that a tribe of cheelah, the intelligent life form on the neutron star, is forced to leave its habitat in the northern hemisphere of Dragon's Egg (as human beings have come to call the star) because of a volcano that sends blasts of fire, rivers of lava, and dense smoke their way. After leaving Mount Exodus (yes, yes, Forward actually calls it that!), they wander in a wilderness of dense smoke until they break out into the "promised land" of the southern hemisphere. There they see a light over the southern pole which is our Sun. They see the Sun as their heavenly deliverer, call it "Bright ...
417. A Critique of "Ramses II and His Time" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... by three of the speakers at the conference at Glasgow last Spring, who also provided a significant part of the material for the special issue of our last volume, where a wide Variety of new and compelling evidence was presented to support the chronological revision Velikovsky proposed in the, first book of the AGES IN CHAOS series, "From the Exodus to King Akhnaton". Peter James' detailed consideration of the latest volume in the series evaluates Velikovsky's proposals for the identification of the XIXth Dynasty of Egypt with the XXVIth Dynasty of Manetho and other writers, in the light of the archaeological and epigraphical evidence now available and the interpretation Velikovsky gives it. His conclusion is that this later ...
418. Hammurabi and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... time of the Kassites in Mesopotamia corresponds more precisely to the time of the Hyksos in Egypt and Syria.** The fall of this Amalekite (Hyksos) Empire brought down their power "from Havila [in Mesopotamia] to Shur, over against Egypt" (I Samuel 15:7 ). * While accepting Velikovsky's placement of the Exodus and the end of the Middle Kingdom to ca. 1450 B.C ., Dr. John J. Bimson has argued for a 320 year duration for the Thirteenth Dynasty. Thus the XIIth and XIIIth Dynasties are made to span the period from 1975-1450 B.C . This would obviously require a different dating for Hammurabi than that ...

... identification of the Bab edh-Dhra region ruins. If they are NOT the vast and populous Midianite cities EAST of the river Jordan that the Israelites under Moses destroyed, then where ARE those cities? If Cardona accepts the ancient tradition that there WERE- somewhere- cities called Sodom and Gomorrah, which were destroyed perhaps 400 to 600 years before the Exodus, then how can he challenge the presumably more reliable Biblical accounts, dating from a post-Exodus period, that there were great cities east of the Jordan which were destroyed by Moses and the Israelites prior to the conquest of Canaan? Since he accepts John Bimson's Middle Bronze Exodus model, where are HIS candidates for the Midianite cities? Let ...

Velikovsky, AGES IN CHAOS, chapter VII, "The Second Seige of Samaria". 2. This is on the assumption (which I make) of a c.1450 BC date for the Exodus, following traditional Bibliography. See J. Bimson, REDATING THE EXODUS AND CONQUEST (Sheffield 1978) for an excellent re-argument of the 1450 BC date, as well as a complete demolition for the 14th century date. 3. See L. Greenberg & W. Sizemore, "Jerusalem, City of Venus", in KRONOS 3 ...

... , Eastern Baptist Seminary. These remarks were taken from the book's back jacket. A few copies remain at a further reduced price: $10.00 POSTPAID from Herbert A. Storck 44 Pendeen Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M6N 2P3 ADVERTISEMENT History and Cosmology: Studies in the Book of Esther "Meir Danino, physicist, explores the Exodus theme of Esther and arrives at the conclusion that Purim represents a second Exodus. In a second paper Danino compares the names of Ahasuerus officers and those for the planets with some provocative correlations. Storck offers two tentative historical backgrounds to the book of Esther: The reign of Darius the Great and Cambyses. He opts for that of the ...
422. Some 'New Chronology' Issues [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... II in which his Majesty captured the city of Shalem' = Year 5 Rehoboam. The arguments against Tony's Ethiopian dynasty can be found in my letter to the editor in this issue. As Brad Aaronson has pointed out in his letter, Tony, for some unknown reason wants to use extremely doubtful traditional material in preference to the Old Testament Exodus date of 480 years before the building of the Temple in Year 2 of Solomon. If we add 480 years to the 970 date for Solomon's Year 2 derived from the above table, we get 1450 BC. If we trace back the Egyptian chronology from the above dates we find ourselves in the Second Intermediate Period. In that case ...

... over - could the excavations at Tel-ed-Daba be yet more biblical history revealed? He proposed, along with Bietak and others, that this was the site of Avaris, the Hyksos capital, a vast city of Semitic labourers, abandoned after an epidemic, and therefore the ideal site from which the Israelites fled in the event we know as the Exodus. Some of this material we have read in the pages of C & C Workshop and Review, and the ISIS Journal [JACF]; the rest we look forward to reading in future publications, but I doubt they will completely recapture the Sherlock Holmes enthusiasm which came across at the meeting as David darted with his audience around Egypt ...

425. The Earth Chronicles (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Abraham participated. Sitchin theorizes that we must look for the historical Abraham during the latter part of the Third Dynasty of Ur, showing that it was a "historical time slot into which all the biblical and Mesopotamian records seem to fit perfectly." [4 ] Next Sitchin looks at the Bible itself to see how its chronology of the Exodus relates to dating Abraham in 2095-2048, when Shulgi reigned, and he finds the dates synchronize well. He puts the Exodus in 1433 B.C . under Amenhotep II for complex and credible reasons, and he then works back through the Hebrew sojourn in Egypt, back to Jacob's birth in 1963 B.C ., to Isaac ...
