... features of Herodotus' account deserve further consideration. Whether we accept the orthodox chronology or one of many revisions on offer, Egypt had been a kingdom for more than a millennium by 3,500 BP. Thus, even if we accept the priests' story as true, it could relate to events a thousand years or more before the Exodus. Velikovsky cites the Tractate Sanhedrin of the Talmud: Seven days before the Deluge, the Holy One changed the primeval order and the sun rose in the west and set in the east'. Cardona and I agree that the seven days' are not to be taken literally. He says, and it is my position too: ...
477. The Celestial Ship of North Vol II [Books]
... , blue was of heaven as the spirit, and red of the sun, as the flesh. The Hebrew heaven is paved with sapphire stones under the feet of the Eternal. "And there was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness." Exodus, xxvii, 10. There were two pillars in an ancient temple at Tyre said to be dedicated to Hercules, belonging to a period between five and six thousand years ago. They were of gold and emerald stone, symbols of and representing God and the Holy Spirit, God as the Golden Pillar, and the Holy Spirit as ...
478. The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky: Part One [Journals] [Aeon]
... perhaps, Immanuel Velikovsky (who not only thought that he embodied a great deal of Jewish history and culture in his own person but who was also given his very name out of Simon's belief or hope that the son would be the long-awaited messiah) must plumb the depths of the past and tell us, anew, the significance of the Exodus and other world-historical events. In his view, as we shall see, the Bible itself was not yet a closed book; it would only take some new consensus to expand the canon so that it would contain an updated revelation of the underlying message of the cosmos, which perhaps would even consist of his own Book of Immanuel. ...
479. Earth-Venus Contacts in the Late 3rd Millennium BC? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... is possible to classify them and ascribe them approximate dates by this method. I propose to take as examples two texts, one from Egypt known as "Deliverance of Mankind from Destruction" and one from Sumer known as "Inanna and Ebih". These texts will be analysed for their catastrophist content as it relates to the "Venus Before Exodus" thesis outlined in Workshop 1987:2 . 1. "Deliverance of Mankind" Dating The translation I shall be using is that of J. A. Wilson in ANET, although there is a fuller rendition given by Rundle Clark [3 ] which I shall also refer to. Regarding its dating: "The text appears on ...

... have been formed by cleavage from Mars, and that, therefore, not insignificant objects can leave their orbits and be captured into other orbits. The argument is perfectly correct, and indeed standard [21]. Secondly, Asimov laughs off Velikovsky's assertion that the Ipuwer papyrus' is an eye-witness account of a catastrophe at the time of the Exodus [22]. Velikovsky dates this ancient document to the Middle/New Kingdom Interregnum, citing and discussing his authorities Sethe and Gardiner, both renowned Egyptologists [23]. Asimov, citing no authority, affirms the alternative view that it dates from the Old/Middle Kingdom Interregnum: "has been dated back to the time of ...
481. Child of Saturn (Part IV) [Journals] [Kronos]
... from Auharmazd the planet. Concerning Ahriman, Velikovsky wrote: "The beautiful Morning Star was related to Ahriman... also Beelzebub or Baal Zevuv, or Baal of the fly."(8 ) Through this, Velikovsky meant to relate Ahriman and Baal Zevuv to the plague of flies which beset the land of Egypt prior to the Exodus. It was Velikovsky's supposition that the planet Jupiter may be populated by vermin,(9 ) that this verminous population may have travelled with Venus in its cometary tail after it was supposedly expelled from Jupiter,(10) and that Venus, in turn, infested the Earth with its insects when the latter passed through the former's gaseous ...
482. The Genesis of Israel and Egypt by Emmett Sweeney [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to have been an unidentified vizier during the time of Amenemhat III. The Egyptian literary influence within the Pentateuch (the first five books of Genesis) and its authorship by Moses, who was born in Egypt, is convincingly argued during discussion of the work of Wiseman and Yahuda. While he does not actually name the Pharaoh of the Biblical Exodus which Moses led, Sweeney says this occurred during the period of the distinctive Pessimistic' literary genre in Egypt'. Conventionally, some of this is dated to the First Intermediate Period and some, which refers to invading Asiatics, to the Second Intermediate Period, some 500 years later. Drawing on the evidence of Dayton and Khnumibre's genealogy ...
483. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . It is surely true to say that these concepts originated in the remote past and that their development was fashioned by man's understanding of his environment as he progressed through history. Furthermore, it is a matter of historical record that ancient man worshipped the heavenly bodies as gods; even the Hebrews believed that their God was directly responsible for the Exodus event, and even if Moses was progressing towards a superior concept of God, it is evident that this was not shared by Aaron and company when they fashioned the golden calf. According to the Velikovskian scenario, we know that the golden calf was made in the image of the comet Venus which was responsible for the events of that ...

... for the gods. 2.69-10. Thus, because Octavius is given a cosmic or at least worldwide dimension, the mythical magnitude of the love affair is matched by that of the political conflict. The consequences for Earth acquire the same significance, and indeed a greater one. In Old Testament terms, Egypt is the locale of the Exodus, and overtones of this event are recalled for us in Cleopatra's exclamation Melt Egypt into Nile, and kindly creatures Turn all to serpents! 2.5 .78-79. This is reinforced at the Battle of Actium, where Scarus, Antony's lieutenant, compares Antony's defeat to the tokened pestilence, Where death is sure. The image carries ...

486. The Nature of the Historical Record [Journals] [SIS Review]
... which this competition had given rise. In particular, he attacked the practice of Greek historians of allotting 40 years to a generation. By applying a more realistic figure of 22 years, he arrived at a date of 900 BC for the fall of Troy, much lower than the traditional date of 1183 BC. He also concluded that the Exodus preceded the Hyksos invasion of Egypt; in his view, the Hyksos were Canaanites expelled from their homeland by the Israelites. Nevertheless, most scholars still accepted the long chronologies rejected by Newton, and this framework undoubtedly influenced the views of the archaeologists who discovered the ancient Egyptian, Hittite, Mycenaean, Assyrian and other civilisations and had to ...
487. Can There be a Revised Chronology Without a Revised Stratigraphy? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... start of the Iron Age in this revised stratigraphy. (b ) The End of the Late Bronze Age It is well known that at the end of the LBA several cities in Palestine were destroyed. These destructions are conventionally dated to the late 13th century BC, and those scholars who favour the theory of a 13th century date for the Exodus and Conquest have often attributed the destructions at Hazor, Lachish, Debir and elsewhere to the Israelites invading Canaan under Joshua [38]. The Iron Age culture which follows these destructions has been viewed as that brought by the newcomers, and hence has often been described as Israelite. However, it has been pointed out that this culture ...
488. When Earth Was Not Yet Created: An Account of Sumerian Cosmogony [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History II:2 (Jun 1980) Home | Issue Contents When Earth Was Not Yet Created: An Account of Sumerian Cosmogony Zecharia Sitchin See Note: 1 More than a quarter of a century ago Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky suggested "worlds" (planets) "in collision" at the time of the Israelite Exodus from Egypt. Few are aware to this day, however, that the peoples of ancient Mesopotamia believed that eons ago Earth itself was born out of a catastrophic planetary collision within our Solar System. This belief, a central element in all Mesopotamian writings, rituals, and religions, was especially expressed in the form of a long epic ...
489. Chronological Questions and Question-Marks [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop No. 4 (Feb 1979) Home | Issue Contents Chronological Questions and Question-Marks by Vera I. Kerkhof AT A public debate pro and contra Velikovsky's revised chronology for the period from the Exodus to Rehoboam/Shishak in Amersfoort, Holland, last October, several arguments came up against the revision which need, I think, serious attention. The arguments for holding to the conventional chronology centred around the following: the several king-lists show the same sequence of dynasties as the conventional chronology claims (the same sequence also as Manetho gives); the genealogies of families of priests and workmen prove the conventional sequences of kings within a dynasty and of the dynasties themselves ...

... flowing-off girdle-tide till all the wreckage had descended. Numerous myths tell of this hurricane catastrophe. The dissolution of the ice-blocks in the atmosphere into hail and rain clouds also caused very: heavy clouding, and hence an almost complete blotting out of the daylight. This darkness too is mentioned in many reports. The cosmogonic myth in the Book of Exodus tells, with magnificent faithfulness, of the mighty strong west wind', Exodus x. 19. (Note 61) In the apocryphal book, The Revelation of Saint John the Theologian, we find the passage that at the time of the great cataclysm the air shall be thrown into utter confusion' (Note 62).

493. Centuries of Darkness? - a Challenge to the Conventional Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... The Independent on Sunday on 28th March 1993. Thompson argues that the first ten books of the Old Testament are almost certainly fiction, written 500-1500 years after the events they describe, and that there is a complete absence of archaeological and historical evidence for key events recorded in the Bible. He concludes that the Israelite sojourn in Egypt, the Exodus and Conquest of Canaan never took place and adds that: "it is out of the question that Saul, David and Solomon as described as kings in the Bible, could have existed. I think the biblical accounts are wonderful stories, invented at the time when Jerusalem was part of the Persian Empire in the 5th century BC. ...

... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Amos ABOUT SEVEN HUNDRED fifty years passed after the great catastrophe of the days of the Exodus, or seven centuries after the cosmic disturbance in the days of Joshua. During all this time the world was afraid of the recurrence of the catastrophe at the end of every jubilee period. Then, starting about the middle of the eighth century before the present era, a new series of cosmic upheavals took place at intervals of short duration. It was the time of the Hebrew prophets whose books are preserved in writing, of Assyrian kings whose annals are excavated and deciphered, and of Egyptian ...

Courville's reply to this query was simple – "It is the total which is correct." I therefore refer the reader to: (1 ) The Exodus Problem and its Ramifications by Courville, with particular reference to pages 320-21 of the second volume, and to (2 ) articles by Feldman in Part I of Volume II of Kronos and James in Part I of Volume IV of Kronos, and most importantly to (3 ) The Tell El-Amarna Tablets, edited by Mercer.

497. Volcanic Systems Ch.3 (The Riddle of the Earth) [Books]
... the Earth by Appian Way CD Home | Contents Chapter III Volcanic Systems CLIMAX OF ERUPTION SUDDEN FROM the very earliest days volcanic mountains became the objects of intense religious devotion, as conveyed in such myths as those of Mt. Atlas, Prometheus, and Mt. Culhuacan (of the Aztecs), and any one who reads the Book of Exodus with care will acknowledge that Moses when he led the children of Israel to the burning mountain conducted them to a volcano, where they witnessed the presence of God as fire, otherwise as that most awe-inspiring spectacle, an eruption. 2IA. These sometimes begin abruptly without previous preparatory warning, but more usually an eruption is heralded by mild ...

He has proposed a body of water 20 km long, 5 km wide, and 20 m deep, and an approach to Earth of a planetary visitor, proto-Venus or pseudo-Venus, to a proximity of 3.13 Earth diameters. He has tabulated the approach and departure on an hourly basis (" Analysis of Tidal Forces and the Close Approach Trajectories of Celestial Bodies", by George F ...

... Iceland but in Norway and Scotland as well.(18) Sulfur dioxide caused a blue haze which killed grass and caused a serious famine; twenty percent of Iceland's population and a large portion of the livestock died of hunger and diseases. One writer, contemporary with the eruption, compared the year of darkness to the gloom described for the Exodus.(19) After this volcanic disaster, Iceland took several years to recover. The sources examined by Velikovsky which describe the Venus catastrophe indicate that a period between one and four decades was required for recovery, further indication that an eruption of global proportion probably occurred. Violent volcanic eruptions are generally accompanied by great heat releases which produce ...
