... From: Proceedings of The Third Seminar of Catastrophism and Ancient History (1986) Home | Issue Contents The Egyptian Prince Moses Charles McDowell Introduction Moses is one historical character about whom much is written but about whom we need still more information. The biblical account in Exodus tells us almost nothing about his first forty years. Indeed, it seems the ancient Jewish writers deliberately distorted his early years for fear the truth about his life at the Egyptian court would cause Jews to abandon cherished concepts of Judaism. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to begin a restoration of the life of young Moses during the period in which he served the pharaohs of Egypt. The Problem ...
52. The Floods Of Deucalion And Ogyges, Part 1 Venus Ch.7 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... hid with him in a cave after the catastrophe of Sodom and Gomorrah, believed that they and their father were the only survivors in the land.(17) The chronologists among the Fathers of the Church found material for assuming that one of the two catastrophes, the flood of Deucalion or that of Ogyges, had been contemporaneous with the Exodus. Julius Africanus wrote: "We affirm that Ogygus [Ogyges] from whom the first flood [in Attica] derived its name, and who was saved when many perished, lived at the time of the Exodus of the people from Egypt along with Moses."(18) He further expressed his belief in the coincidence of ...
53. El-Arish Revisited [Journals] [Kronos]
... Vol. XI No. 2 (Winter 1986) Home | Issue Contents El-Arish Revisited Sean Mewhinney Late in the last century an unimposing shrine of Ptolemaic times was found at el-Arish, overturned to serve as a cattle-trough. The inscription had suffered accordingly, but some 74 lines yet remained. In this text Velikovsky saw a parallel Egyptian account of Exodus, confirming the plague of darkness and the miraculous parting of the Sea of Passage. He believed that useful historical information could be elicited from it, by means of which the pharaoh of the Exodus and the route taken by the fleeing Israelites might be identified. MY interest was aroused in the el-Arish inscription because, in many respects, ...
54. The Chronology of Israel and Judah Part IId [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... kings of Israel and Judah, the chronology of Israel during the time of the Judges is relatively simple. It is primarily a process of recognizing the major chronological clues for the period and then fitting everything else into that framework. In 1 Kings 6:1 we find that the fourth year of King Solomon was the 480th year after the Exodus of Israel from Egypt. If we take his fourth year as 1013/2 B.C ., then the date of the Exodus would be 1492 B.C . The phraseology of 1 Kings 6: 1 resembles that of Numbers 1:1 which clearly refers to the second year, the year after the Exodus (1491 ...
55. A Reply to Stiebing [Journals] [Pensee]
... to historiography the reliance was mainly on such literary (non-contemporaneous) sources as the dynastic lists of Manetho (who wrote in the third pre-Christian century), my novel approach was to search for and find contemporaneous literary synchronisms. Thus, I juxtapose many sentences in the Papyrus Ipuwer with almost identical sentences from a few chapters of the Book of Exodus to establish the contemporaneity of the Exodus with the events that took place at the close of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt. Or I compare the surviving pictures and accompanying texts of Queen Hatshepsut's expedition to "God's Land" with the description of the visit of the Queen of the South (in Hebrew: Queenshwa); or I scrutinize ...
56. Advert: The Exodus Problem and its Ramifications [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History I:2 (Apr 1979) Home | Issue Contents Advertisment The Exodus Problem and its Ramifications Donovan Courville This unique treatise faces squarely the problem of whether or not the conventional chronology of antiquity is rationally susceptible to the degree of revision demanded by Velikovsky's resetting of the exodus incident at the point of the Hyksos invasion. Such a revision has been regarded generally by archaeologists and historians as so obviously impossible that no refutation of his thesis is needed. The histories of the peoples of antiquity are tied together by a multiplicity of synchronisms in a complex manner which seemingly defies any such alteration as Velikovsky has proposed. In this treatise, this situation is ...
57. The Quarters of the World Displaced, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... and Mela say that according to Egyptian annals, the reversal of the west and east recurred: the sun rose in the west, then in the east, once more in the west, and again in the east. Was the cosmic catastrophe that terminated a world age in the days of the fall of the Middle Kingdom and of the Exodus one of these occasions, and did the earth change the direction of its rotation at that time? If we cannot assert this much, we can at least maintain that the earth did not remain on the same orbit, nor its poles stay in their places, nor was the direction of the axis the same as before. The ...
58. 'Worlds in Collision' After Heinsohn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... two remained fragmentary, as the posthumous publication of his manuscripts has revealed. His revision of ancient chronology in the Ages in Chaos series never succeeded in forging a complete chain of events for the periods and cultures it addressed and his manuscripts Saturn and the Flood and Jupiter of the Thunderbolt present only thin evidence for moving back from the Venus/Exodus Event to the Saturn/Flood Event which he posited as its first cause'. It has been left to others to show the fruitfulness of his first and last assumptions and much of the important work since his death has been done in these two areas. None, in my view, has been more crucial in moving the work ...

... of expertise. He therefore claims to be well qualified to tackle one of the best known problems in Egyptology, the mystery of tomb KV55 in the Valley of the Kings. Since a convincing explanation for this tomb has eluded the world's finest Egyptologists, it's still fair game. The book claims to reveal startling new evidence' that the Biblical Exodus events were the historical result of an epoch-making cataclysm so colossal that it also wiped out a civilisation and even gave rise to the legend of Atlantis. ' This language reminded me of Graham Hancock and I expected endless paragraphs where the speculation' at the end of one becomes the fact' at the start of the next. Thankfully, ...
60. Exodus & Phaeton [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ) Home | Issue Contents The following two pieces concerning the Phaeton (or Phaethon) event were received virtually simultaneously for publication. The first one by Michael Reade is a further supplement to his article in SISR 2/2 p.41 and the second one by Brendon O'Gheoghan argues a later date for the Phaethon event. - Ed. Exodus And Phaeton by M . G. READE A further supplement to the article "Senmut & Phaeton". It is often suggested that the Phaeton episode and the Exodus catastrophe could have been one and the same. There are two principal arguments for citing the Phaeton episode earlier than the Exodus catastrophe, one of them Egyptological, the other ...
61. A Potential Historical Connection for the Death and Burial of Jacob in Genesis [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... XIII:1 (Jan 1991) Home | Issue Contents A Potential Historical Connection for the Death and Burial of Jacob in Genesis William H. Shea Introduction In the Bible the patriarchal age ends with the death and burial of Jacob. There follows after that event a historical vacuum from the end of the book of Genesis to the beginning of Exodus. According to the chronology given in Genesis 15 and Exodus 12:40, that historical vacuum, during which we know little of the Israelite people in Egypt, covered approximately four centuries, the length of their Egyptian sojourn. If we were able to date the closing event for the patriarchal age, we would be able to extend ...
62. A Fifteenth-Century Exodus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History XII:1 (Jan 1990) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION A Fifteenth-Century Exodus Gerald Day I just read Zecharia Sitchin's new book, The Lost Realms. In it he gives support for the date of the Exodus in the fifteenth century B.C . This support comes from a very interesting source. It comes from the New World- Peru, to be precise. Sitchin uses a document of Fernando Montesinos in his book, Memorias Antiguas Historiales del Peru, who in 1628, probably using material from Father Bias Valera (son of a Spaniard and a native woman), wrote a pretty comprehensive chronological history of the Peruvians. In it ...
63. Plagues and Comets [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: God's Fire, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER ONE Plagues and Comets Disbelief in the Book of Exodus, for the modern educated person, begins with the fantastic story of the infant Moses' survival and salvation in the bulrushes of the Nile, advances through Moses' encounter with the Burning Bush whence speaks Yahweh, ascends rapidly with the plagues of Egypt that follow his threats as Yahweh's messenger, and reaches a climax in the parting of the waters to let the Israelites escape and the closing of the waters upon the Egyptians. Thereafter the incredulous reader can only sigh as one after another lesser miracle occurs - water from tapping a rock with a wand ...
64. The Parting of the Waters of the Red Sea [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... that the waters did not part the way Weinert thought they did. In my opinion all attempts at explaining the Parting of the Waters as being a result of tidal action are doomed to failure. The forces that can be produced by static electricity are also much too small. The electromagnetic approach, however, is much more promising. What Exodus 14 describes is, in fact, exactly what would happen if an extremely large telluric current were flowing east-west under the Sea of Passage. I shall try to explain what I mean later; firstly, however, I shall describe the nature of telluric currents and attempt to locate the Sea of Passage. We used to call telluric currents ...
65. The Two Major Censuses in the Book of Numbers [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... The Second Seminar of Catastrophism and Ancient History (1985) Home | Issue Contents The Two Major Censuses in the Book of Numbers Donald W. Patten Synopsis The hypothesis in this paper is that the two major censuses in the Book of Numbers are far too high for practical consideration. A rationale for such large numbers of Hebrews leaving on the Exodus needs explanation. In this paper it is claimed that the Hebrew word eleph or alluph. which in Hebrew is aleph-lamed-pei, has been mistranslated. Later scribes after the Babylonian exile no longer had Hebrew as a native language, and no longer understood the varieties of meanings that "eleph" could have. Among the meanings eleph might- ...
66. The Hail of Stones, Part 1 Venus Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Hail of Stones Following the red dust, a "small dust," like "ashes of the furnace," fell "in all the land of Egypt" (Exodus 9:8 ), and then a shower of meteorites flew toward the earth. Our planet entered deeper into the tail of the comet. The dust was a forerunner of the gravel. There fell "a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since its foundations" (Exodus 9:18). Stones of "barad," here translated "hail," is, ...
67. The Arrival of the Philistines and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Revised Chronology John Bimson Copyright (c ) 1978 J. J. Bimson Dr Bimson studied at the Department of Biblical Studies, Sheffield University, where he completed his doctorate thesis on Hebrew chronology. He has contributed earlier articles to the S.I .S . Review in this area, and is the author of "Redating the Exodus and Conquest", publicised this year by Sheffield University Press. He is currently continuing his research into the stratigraphy and chronology of ancient Palestine. The arrival of the Philistines in Canaan is usually placed in the reign of Ramesses III, but this date has always been problematic, as it makes several biblical references to the Philistines anachronistic. ...
68. Jupiter in Collision: in Search of Velikovsky's Comet [Articles]
... Jupiter in Collision: in Search of Velikovsky's Comet Milton Zysman Introduction "Of all the mysterious phenomena which accompanied the Exodus, this mysterious pillar seems the first to demand explanation." Velikovsky came to his catastrophic thesis through a search for a reliable chronology for ancient middle eastern history. This search, born of the realization that both Egyptians and Israelites alike went through a great physical upheaval, gave rise to the most influential work on catastrophism published in this century. Hebrew traditions of the red and poisonous Nile, the impenetrable darkness, the hot stones from heaven, the great winds and noise, the anomalous behaviour of insects and animals and the tidal effect at the Sea of ...
69. Ancient History Revisions: the Last 25 years - a Perspective [Journals] [SIS Review]
... pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty (D18), which include Queen Hatshepsut and Tutankhamun, are made too ancient by around 500 years. He reached this conclusion after comparing the early histories of the Hebrews and the Egyptians. In the Old Testament, the ancient Hebrews recorded their Descent into Egypt and such events as the Sojourn, Oppression, the Exodus and later campaigns against Judah by the Egyptian rulers Shishak and Zerah. However, no clear reference to any of these events can be found in Egyptian history. Since late Victorian times, ancient historians and archaeologists have assumed, from an amalgam of early sources, that Egyptian chronology is relatively secure. Therefore Egyptian artefacts, which were found ...

... James and published in S.I .S . Workshop, Vol. 5, No. 2. However, the main topic of discussion was initiated by Tom Chetwynd, who suggested that the possibility of a more radical revision needed to be explored in parallel with the Rohl-James proposals. He argued that there were strong grounds for placing the Exodus and Israelite conquest of Canaan at the end of the Egyptian Old Kingdom and Early Bronze Age in Palestine. First, in spite of the scholarly controversy about the date of the Ipuwer papyrus, there were strong reasons for placing it in the First Intermediate Period; secondly, the pattern of destructions at the end of the Early Bronze Age ...
71. Old Testament Tales, Part II - - Moses and History 'A' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... have been used without ascription will accept this paragraph as my grateful acknowledgement to each and every one of them. Old Testament Tales, Part I' (OTT1) showed that Bietak's dig at Tell ed-Daba supports the Genesis story of Joseph, so its writer Moses must be a historical character too. But how much of Moses' autobiography in Exodus and Numbers is true? We deal first with matters supported by physical or literary evidence, or which were in the public domain and so probably founded on fact. Later on in the series we deal with matters which depend wholly upon the credibility of Moses himself. Counting upward from the lowest stratum (earliest development) at Tell ed-Daba ...

... From: SIS Internet Digest 1998:1 (June 1998) Home | Issue Contents More Than One Typhon Thoth Vol II, No. 7 April 15, 1998 DE Davis asks: What is the current thinking on the Exodus story, then? Dwardu Cardona Replies: I'll answer this one cautiously. Most historians today will tell you that the Exodus never happened, and this includes many an Israeli historian. For reasons which I cannot quite go into here, I tend to disagree. However, that said, I must also report that in all the years since Worlds in Collision was written, AND DESPITE WHAT WAS SAID IN IT, I have not been able to ...

74. The Chronology of the Late Kings of Egypt [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... volume under the title Ages in Chaos,2 in which the conventional chronology of Egypt was challenged. It was proposed that the chronological scheme has its dates set too far back on the time scale, the deviations from actuality amounting to periods ranging from 300 to 800 years. His starting deviation from the traditional views involved a placement of the exodus incident of Scripture at the point of the Hyksos invasion. Earlier scholars had placed this incident in the XIXth dynasty in the reign of Rameses II. This setting was based on statements in Exodus 1:8-11 which suggest that the ruling king of the preceding era of oppression had the name Rameses. When it became apparent that Rameses II ...

(C &AH, X/2 ), and the Exodus and Conquest. Although I was long convinced about the revised chronology, I now believe it is better to use the conventional chronology, especially in order to clarify these themes.
