... phenomenon which has been recorded throughout the ages (though not always believed) and which is often associated with meteor falls and other dramatic events [24]. It is noteworthy that three separate cultures (Sumerian, Egyptian and Israelite) have accounts of rivers turned to blood' during the late 3rd to mid-2nd millennia BC. The account in Exodus, appearing in a context of environmental and social upheavals, is comparable with that in Nin-me-sar-ra': ". .. 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 the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the ...

Hons., Newcastle Upon Tyne) is a freelance translator and Editor of the S.I .S . Review, to which he has contributed several articles. Velikovsky places the events recorded in the "Papyrus Ipuwer" contemporary with those of the Exodus, which coincides in the revised chronology with the end of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. A paper examining the ramifications of this conclusion is being prepared, and is offered here in summary. In his book ...
453. The Ninsianna tablets, a preliminary reconstruction [Journals] [SIS Review]
... against Mars. The reality of the one time 360 day year is confirmed but this was a count of Babylonian days per Babylonian year, any change in the absolute spin rate of the Earth being minimal. A secondary outcome of the analysis is a major disruption of the orthodox system of precessional dating, permitting synchronisation of the Phaeton and the Exodus episodes, together with the somewhat unexpected finding that Stonehenge can be added to the world list of ancient monuments which have their origin in these disturbances. Method and Assumptions The Ninsianna' or Venus tablets of Ammisaduqa' have been the subject of much previous study [1 ]. The present analysis is based on Rose and Vaughan's reading of ...
454. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... rush to pummel the work of its founder may be counterproductive, to say the least. Accusations from all quarters within the Catastrophist movement have left the impression among many that Dr. Velikovsky's entire thesis is flawed! Criticism must be better thought out. For example, Velikovksy's improper use of mythical themes from prehistory to support his thesis of the Exodus catastrophe is probably one of his most glaring errors, as Talbott pointed out in his article entitled, "On Models and Scenarios," (AEON I:4 , p. 9). But, Talbott stumbles as badly when he follows with this comment: "Anyone arguing for later catastrophes- on the basis of myth- ...

... is to establish (1 ) that there were physical upheavals of a global character in historical times; (2 ) that these catastrophes were caused by extraterrestrial agents; and (3 ) that these agents can be identified. There are many implications that follow from these conclusions." [2 ] Now when we recall that Velikovsky approached the Exodus catastrophe via the Beth-horon event and ancient traditions suggesting intervals of around fifty years between catastrophes, we realise that Velikovsky's third conclusion is really two: (3 *) that these agents are periodic (i .e ., of cometary character); and (4 *) that these cometary bodies can be identified. Because we are ...

Egyptian necht [man holding a rod], strength, is a reversal of the Greek techne, skill, art. Ariadne's skill with snakes recalls Moses and Aaron, Jannes and Jambres, Exodus VII:10f. The name Ariadne could mean hand of fire'. Names of the goddess were: Eleuthia, Kerasia, Piptuna, Ardoro, Pade. Greek doron is a gift; Ardoro may be she who gives fire' or gift of fire'. Pade may be light from the earth', but Slavonic padatj means ...

... this abnormal month length confirmed by appearing on other calendars of the Ur III period before drawing conclusions from it. Moreover, a lunar perturbation sufficiently large to alter the sequence of lunar months might require an astronomical accident' on the scale of Weinert's Hypothesis. This is a mathematical paper on the side-effects of a planetary near-encounter with reference to the Exodus happenings. It was a competition paper on celestial dynamics prepared by George F. Weinert about 1980. He found that a close approach of a celestial body of similar size to the Earth on the night side of our planet could, in theory, have driven back the waters of the Red Sea by means of a strong east wind ...
458. Ages in Chaos in the Light of C14 Archaeometry [Journals] [Pensee]
... to the widely accepted chronology of Egypt, the history of the pre-Hellenic Period of Greece following the Mycenaean and Minoan Ages is endowed with a half millennium obscurity that does not yet appear to be adequately explained. In seeking a solution to such problems, and as a result of his research to determine through ancient Egyptian records the date of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, Immanuel Velikovsky was led, over a quarter of a century ago, to propose a radical reordering of the post-Middle Kingdom chronology of Egypt. Assembled in the form of 284 Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History (Scripta Academica Hierosolymitana, New York-Jerusalem, 1945) and then developed in Ages in Chaos, ...

In chronological order, these catastrophes, as per Patten, et al., were originally presented as having been the following: the Noachian deluge (circa 2500 B.C .) ; the Tower of Babel catastrophe (1930 B.C .) ; the Sodom and Gomorrah catastrophe (1877 B.C .) ; the Exodus catastrophe (1447 B.C .) ; the long day of Joshua (1404 B.C .) ; the "greater" Davidic catastrophe (972 B.C .) ; the Joel-Amos catastrophe (756 B.C .) ; and the Isaiahic catastrophe (701 B.C .) .

... of horrid wickedness. (15) Josephus here, in this one sentence, sums up his notion of Moses's very long and very serious exhortations in the book of Deuteronomy; and his words are so true, and of such importance, that they deserve to be had in constant remembrance. (16) This law, both here and Exodus 20:25, 26, of not going up to God's altar by ladder-steps, but on an acclivity, seems not to have belonged to the altar of the tabernacle, which was in all but three cubits high, Exodus 27:4 ; nor to that of Ezekiel, which was expressly to be gone up to by steps ...

... of the "Sothic theory" and that of the "astronomically fixed" dates,* Velikovsky started to rebuild Egyptian history from the so-called Second Intermediate period between the XIIth and the XVIIIth Dynasty, by juxtaposing Egyptian and Biblical records. Like many scholars had done before, he looked first and foremost for an Egyptian document which would reflect the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt- an event which played such a decisive role in the history of Israel. [* See I. Velikovsky, "Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History," Scripta Academica Hierosolymitana (Jerusalem, 1945), Theses No. 283 and No. 284.- The Ed.] Contrary to his ...

... to Velikovskian students. It is thrice reported in the Old Testament that, when the Israelites fled from Egypt, they camped at a place called Pi-ha-hiroth which was "over against" or "before" Baal-zephon.(1 ) In no other context is the name of this locality again mentioned in the Scriptures. Because the catastrophes accompanying the Exodus were attributed by Velikovsky to a near encounter with the planet Venus, and also because Velikovsky saw in Baal a personification of the same planet, Aitchison asked: "Am I seeing more in the first part of the name [i .e ., Baal], or was this place [Baal-zephon] named after and in connection ...

... relativity and quantum theory against Hitler's "Aryan physics." Just as these sciences do not need any "defenders" against such nonsense, neither does mainstream Biblical archaeology, either conventional or revisionist, need Heinsohn's "defense," which denies all its literary sources anyway. 16) Chetwynd, Etzion and myself all follow Courville in placing the Exodus at the end of the Early Bronze Age, but none of us see the need to accept his chronology which, incidentally, was not based directly on the Bible at all. He took it from Edwin Thiele, who cut Biblical chronology in order to make it fit the generally-accepted Assyrian chronology, and that, in turn, is ...

Next, looking at the genealogy from Joseph to Joshua, it may be possible to shorten it by two generations.

... had no other name for God but Elohim; before Moses obtained the elements of the new name from Egypt."(18) We do not hold the view with Bryant that Moses "obtained the element" of Jehovah's (or Yahweh's) name from Egypt nor do we believe that the Book of Job really predates the time of the Exodus since there are "indications of literary dependence" on the Books of Psalms and Jeremiah.(19) Our belief is that those passages dealing with the motifs of Creation were "lifted" from an older source in which Elohim explicitly denoted the "Creative Principle" and thus the compiler or narrator of the Book of Job allowed the ...

Alt adds yet another principle for some forms of unity among the tribes, although he opposes Buccellati's thesis of national unity from the time of the Exodus. He views the settlement into a land full of strange people, gods, and kings, as causing a partial necessity to unify. Alt sees the desire to remain alienated from the rest of the country also as a dominant link in unity. Archaeologist W.F . Albright, in refutation of Orlinsky's point (c ), ...

However, this is not the impression conveyed by Cochrane who appears to be quite adamant that Venus, the planet, was really involved, in some way, during the time ...

In all three of the Tables, Stage I occurs before the first Venus-Earth contact at the time of the Exodus. Stage 2 is the interval of 50-52 "years" between the Exodus and the battle of Beth-horon, at which time Earth and Venus again came near each other. Stage 3 is the post-Beth-horon period, extending from the fifteenth through the eighth centuries. Stage 4 is after the first Earth-Mars contact and before the last Earth-Mars contact. ...

Chinese Flood To The Editor: Dr. Velikovsky's correlation of the "flood that overtopped the mountains" in Chinese legend with the catastrophe which precipitated the Exodus may provide us the securest dating for the rise to eminence of the drainage engineer Yu, his founding of the puzzling Hsia Dynasty (no doubt in Schechwan at the head of the Yangtze), and his compilation of the bafflingly archaic mountain-sea classic, Shan hai jing, from reports of returning expeditionaries. That would put this compilation at ...

... anyway, but this itself doesn't solve any problems, perhaps! Since Solomon, whoever he was, had long been gone by the time of Jehoshaphat, the writer would prefer to believe either that Gezer was not Canaanite during the Amarna period or that Solomon was a Canaanite at this time and was only retrospectively given Israelite citizenship after the 2nd Exodus at the end of the 18th Dynasty, say in the time of Josiah, or as part of the post-Exile reform. Bernard Newgrosh replies: Derek is quite right to draw our attention to the fact that Velikovsky's lengthy treatment of the el-Amarna Letters was not referred to in our article. I will assure him, however, that in ...
