... | Issue Contents Letters to the Editor Editor, C&AH: I've been meaning to put down my thoughts on the alternative chronologies dealing with a solution to Ages in Chaos. I do not yet feel convinced by either the Glasgow or the Courville chronology, mainly because Velikovsky compared literary documents describing events (e .g . Book of Exodus, Papyrus Ipuwer, Shrine of El Arish) and used them as the best evidence- he did not try to work them into contrived archaeological concepts based on doubtful conventional chronology. Gammon's Glasgow plan attempts to preserve the present structure of Egyptian history as closely as possible, minimizing errors as necessary. It seems to me that more convincing ...

503. Goedicke in Response to Stiebing [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History X:1 (Jan 1988) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION Goedicke in Response to Stiebing Hans Goedicke With regard to William Stiebing's "The Israelite Exodus and the Volcanic Eruption of Thera" (C &AH, Vol. IX:2 ), I have so far refrained from entering into any polemics about my work concerning historical events in the southeastern Mediterranean basin around 1500 B.C . The extreme complexity of the questions involved, as well as the wish to avoid emotionally charged squabbles, which are unlikely to be helpful, have prompted this reluctance. Let me restrict my comments to a few points. I am an Egyptologist and I ...
504. Velikovsky And Planetary Catastrophe [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... and rites around the world, sources that are simply incomprehensible in terms of celestial motions today. Velikovsky contended that the planet Venus, just a few thousand years ago, possessed a spectacular, comet-like "tail" and its orbit intersected that of the Earth. Though Velikovsky's interest in the subject began with a reading of biblical accounts of the Exodus period, the plagues of Egypt, and the spectacles of the wandering in the desert, what led to his startling conclusions was a thorough cross-referencing with global myths of disaster - stories in which the agent of catastrophe takes the form of a great comet or flaming dragon, a body consistently identified with the planet Venus. Velikovsky also argued ...
505. A Reply to Mr. Cohen [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... V:1 (Jan 1983) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION A Reply to Mr. Cohen Lester J. Mitcham I believe the letter by Louis Cohen (C &AH, III:2 , p. 121) needs to be placed in proper prospective. The literary documents to which Mr. Cohen refers assist with the dating of Exodus, which is not in dispute by the Glasgow or Courville chronologies. The portion of Velikovsky's solution being challenged by the alternative chronologies is in the post-XVIIIth dynasty era, and is being questioned because of Velikovsky's treatment (often improper) of the written records and archaeological evidence. While Velikovsky places Haremhab during the opening decades of the XIXth dynasty ...

... into what is basically a dead end, at the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula? ' After re-reading Chapter 5 of Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision, it is my belief that Moses may possibly have been disorientated due to a pole reversal. In Chapter 5 Velikovsky presents evidence that there was a reversal of the poles at the time of the Exodus and under the section headed The Reversed Polarity of the Earth', he states: A thunderbolt, on striking a magnet, reverses the poles of the magnet. The terrestrial globe is a huge magnet. A short circuit between it and another celestial body could result in the north and south magnetic poles of the earth exchanging places. ...

... itself was covered like a tent with eleven goat hair curtains, each 6 x 45 feet. Another ten curtains 6 x 42 feet apparently served as walls. And I have said nothing yet about other coverings and the special clothing of the priests. Some of this stitching required fine metal thread as well. If we take the book of Exodus at face value, we cannot fail to be impressed by the skills of these ancient Jews- nor would the ancient Phoenicians, the people of Sidon and Tyre, when they saw the tabernacle. Having heard that Oholiab came from nearby Dan, they would have been keenly interested in other Danites with similar skills. A simple principle of ...
509. The Road to Iron: 8th and 7th Century Metallurgy and the Decline of Egyptian Power [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... is chained (with iron, presumably) after the coming of Jesus Christ as morning star (Revelation 22:16) in a bottomless pit (10:13). The catastrophic contacts between Venus and the Earth, particularly the great conflict between the "Light God" head and the "Dragon" tail at the time of the Exodus, were accompanied by falls of iron meteorites.33 This too is described in the Book of Revelation (8 :7-1 1). Great mountains, burning with fire mixed with blood which turn waters to blood (cf. also 16:3-4), clearly describe hematite-iron dustfalls, as in the first plague of Egypt.34 ...

The area mentioned is in the Eastern Delta, and on the remains of pillars found is the name of Ramses II. Dr. Egbrecht (I cannot be sure of the spelling) spoke and he said: "I have found many sun-baked bricks containing straw, which were probably made by the Israelites before the Exodus" ...
511. Collective Amnesia: A Brief History of the Concept [Journals] [Kronos]
... investigation of the Atlantis myth, which is the subject of his first book, Atlantis: The Antediluvian World (1882). Like Velikovsky, who developed his theory while reconstructing ancient Near East history, Donnelly's catastrophism is an extension of his fascinating synthesis. Whereas Velikovsky is led to follow the tale of a comet beginning with Moses and the Exodus, Donnelly's story begins with Plato and the destruction of Atlantis. Donnelly's theory, in capsule form, maintains that Atlantis was destroyed when, in his Velikovsky-like words (published sixty-seven years before Worlds in Collision), "a serpent-like comet struck the earth".(12) Additionally, like Velikovsky, Donnelly says- "This long ...

513. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the Bible story the dove returns with a branch by way of additional identification, as a tree was one of the signs of the Goddess. It seems puzzling that a bright planet should be associated with a raven, unless one assumes that the sky was blacked out during the Noachian catastrophe in the same way as it was obscured during the Exodus plagues of darkness, so that the movements of Saturn were hidden from mankind. A similar role of causing darkness is attributed to a crow in the story of Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum in ALICE IN WONDERLAND! It is significant that crows or ravens are represented as accompanying Saturn, Bran and Odin, and not representing them. Elizabeth ...

... . Courville refers to the question of the Agum II "kakrime" inscription, going so far as to reject Agum II as its author and instead proposing Agum III. His argument here rests on the inclusion of the appellation "kakrime" (meaning "second") to the name Agum.

... vav - "U " - which renders the word in the future tense, was originally part of "unsatem". If Danino, or anyone, can find me an Amosian version older than that of the Septuagint that renders this verse in the future, I shall consider the claim. That the Israelites were loyal to Saturn during their exodus from Egypt can be easily ascertained. When the slaves fled from Egypt they made what William Heidel termed "a curious countermarch"(17) to encamp before a place called Baal-zephon,(18) a shrine to the god of that name. Although the Old Testament says nothing more about this peculiar incident, extra-Biblical sources state the ...

517. Apocalyptic Imagery In Modern Political Spectacle [Journals] [SIS Review]
... many rival catastrophists who reject his interpretation of his evidence, such as Clube and Napier and even Gribbin, do not dismiss his data as evidence in itself. Note particularly the image of fire falling from the sky, ignis e coelo. In Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky noted inter alia that Pliny records blood raining from the sky', Exodus says A shower of meteorites flew toward the earth', stones fell mingled with fire' and were accompanied by crashes or explosion-like noises', while the Mexican chronicles remember when the sky rained not water, but fire and red-hot stones'. It is a picture of blood and fire coming from heaven. The Mesoamerican texts speak of a ...
... to make preparations for the return home. Then, at the last moment before an already-postponed sailing, he chanced upon an idea that was to completely alter his life plans and keep him in America for decades. Reflecting upon events in the life of Moses, Velikovsky began to speculate: Was there a natural catastrophe at the time of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt? Could the plagues of Egypt, the hurricane, the parting of the waters, and the smoke, fire and rumblings of Mount Sinai described in the Bible have been real and sequential aspects of a single titanic cataclysm of natural forces? If the Exodus took place during - or because of - an upheaval ...

521. Cosmic Catastrophes and the Origin of Megalithic Cultures [Journals] [SIS Review]
... polygonal slabs and ashlars, the youngest nuraghe originate in the third century, and even Breton long graves (allées couvertes) have been found from that period. This shows clearly that megalithic structures originate from the time when Velikovsky's last catastrophe took place; they also belong to the period in which he placed his Venus catastrophe. The period of Exodus, as has been shown by the Egyptian studies Heinsohn and I have carried out, inevitably needs to be looked for in the first millennium because in the second millennium there would not have been a pharaoh to whom an Israelite could have gone and who could have held a nomadic people to do slave labour. Whether an Exodus as in ...
522. A Revised Astronomical Chronology for Egypt [Articles]
... to me they would have a harder problem, they would not have known what reforms to make, therefore they might not have made any. Moreover, think in terms of the Velikovskian chronology which I am not challenging here, I am not saying that this turn-over which I think occurred somewhere in 1100 or 1200 is the same as the Exodus catastrophe, I am not saying that. The other evidence about this turn-over shows that that first catastrophe is quite distinct from any catastrophe during Exodus. So we are talking about the Hyksos period here, I am saying that Pharmuti comes within this period, who knows whether you are not dealing with people with somewhat less sophistication etc. ...

... becomes a starting point. Let me go a bit further, there's another significant date which I haven't described to you and don't intend to describe to you, but you'll all note again that it comes up in the final chapter of our book: 1369 BC. Now for reasons that I'll not go into, that's our date for the Exodus event which Velikovsky puts at 1450 BC. We provide a line of argument that tells you it's 1369 BC based upon the Egyptian records; it may not be a good argument, but it's an argument. And in fact, if you go back further in time, there is another flurry of events round about 2100 BC which is ...

It is important and useful to know in what Egyptian context Jahweh effected the Exodus, who the Amalekites were, why the book of Judges keeps silent about Egypt, which historical person King Agag was, which Egyptian princess married Solomon, which queen visited Jerusalem, and what was the historical identity of Pharaoh Shishak, Necho and Zerah the Ethiopian. Once more, we begin to understand that it pleased the Lord God ...
