... , examines one aspect of this question. The Conquest of Canaan AND THE REVISED CHRONOLOGY John J Bimsom JOHN J. BIMSON is a post-graduate research student in the Department of Biblical Studies at Sheffield University, and is presently bringing to completion a Ph. D. thesis dealing with early Hebrew chronology, with special reference to the date of the Exodus. Introduction As students of Velikovsky's revised chronology will know, Velikovsky places the Exodus of the Hebrew tribes from Egypt, and the subsequent conquest of Canaan by those tribes, in the 15th century BC. Velikovsky is, of course, not alone in so dating these events. They are similarly dated by all writers who take seriously the ...
102. Theophany, Part 1 Venus Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... The eruptions of volcanoes are also accompanied by loud noises. The sound produced by Krakatoa in the East Indies, during the eruption Of 1883, was so loud that it was heard as far as Japan, 3,000 miles away, the farthest distance travelled by sound recorded in modern annals.(2 ) In the days of the Exodus, when the world was shaken and rocked, and all volcanoes vomited lava and all continents quaked, the earth groaned almost unceasingly. At an initial stage of the catastrophe, according to Hebrew tradition, Moses heard in the silence of the desert the sound which he interpreted to mean, "I am that I am.(3 ...
103. The Age of Moses [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Age of Enlightenment" produced a frenzy of archaeological activity which resulted in translation of many documents and inscriptions of the Egyptian and Middle eastern people. From these fragmentary records, historians and Egyptologists put together a listing of Egyptian kings, arranged in dynasties and couched in a chronology that left no room for the Biblical patriarchs and their deeds. The Exodus was finally placed at the time of Ramesses II, a powerful king of the 19th Dynasty. The incongruity of setting the escape of "slaves" during the zenith of Egypt's Empire Period in the mid-thirteenth century B.C . is matched by the violence this does to the whole historical account in the Bible from Genesis to Kings. ...
104. New Archaeological Dates for the Israelite Conquest Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History X:1 (Jan 1988) Home | Issue Contents New Archaeological Dates for the Israelite Conquest Part I Proposals for an Early Bronze III Conquest William H. Stiebing, Jr Scholars have generally dated the Israelite exodus and conquest to the fifteenth century B.C . (based on the date given in 1 Kings 6:1 ), or to the thirteenth century B.C . (based primarily on the reference in Exodus 1:11 to the city of Ra'amses, which is almost certainly to be identified with Per-Ramesses, capital of Ramesses II). Both of these dates fall within the Late Bronze Age according to the conventional archaeological ...
105. Editorial [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol II No 3 (1977/78) "From Exodus to Akhnaton" Home | Issue Contents Editorial FROM EXODUS TO AKHNATON WITH THE APPEARANCE in 1977 of Peoples of the Sea and the impending publication of Ramses II and his Time and Assyrian Conquest, Velikovsky's major reconstruction of ancient history is approaching completion. The Editors of this journal felt that this was an appropriate time for a re-examination of the revolutionary first volume in the series, Ages in Chaos, embodying the evidence made available by the latest research. "Chronology is the key to the narrative, ' wrote Winston Churchill - the key to our whole understanding of history. Velikovsky's main bone of ...
106. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol II No 2 (Dec 1977) Home | Issue Contents Forum Out of Egypt Sir, The last issue of the Review contained an excellent article by Hyam Maccoby on " Worlds in Collision' and the Birth of Monotheism" which gave many valuable insights into the significance of the Exodus. In particular, Mr Maccoby gave us an inspiring picture of the Exodus and its attendant events as a call to ancient Israel to abandon the false securities of polytheism. However, in the last two paragraphs, where Mr Maccoby explores "some important psychological aspects of the matter", his discussion seems to miss the mark. Mr Maccoby suggests that in the Bible ...
107. The Hyksos (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... Ages in Chaos Volume I: From the Exodus to King Akhnaton CHAPTER TWO The Hyksos Immanuel Velikovsky Who Were the Hyksos? The Egyptian historian Manetho, who lived in the Ptolemaic age, is our main source of information on the invasion of the Hyksos. His history of Egypt is not extant, but some passages dealing with that invasion are preserved by Josephus Flavius, Eusebius and Sextus Julius Africanus.1 Josephus, in his pamphlet, Against Apion, preserved more of the second book of Manetho's history of Egypt than Eusebius and Africanus did. Here is the first passage: I will quote his [Manetho's] own words, just as if I had produced the man himself ...
108. Some Additional Evidence from the Period from the Exodus to the End of the Eighteenth Dynasty [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol VI No 1-3 (1982) "The 1978 Glasgow Conference Proceedings" Home | Issue Contents Friday evening CHAIRMAN: HAROLD TRESMAN Some Additional Evidence from the Period from the Exodus to the End of the Eighteenth Dynasty Dr I. Velikovsky SINCE THE PUBLICATION of Ages in Chaos: From the Exodus to King Akhnaton over twenty-five years have elapsed. Did the elapsed time supply additional proofs or disclose any weakness in the scheme? The fact that no section of that first edition was withdrawn in subsequent printings should be regarded as a sign that no disproving evidence has come from excavated ground or from deciphered texts and no disenchantment with the general scheme has taken place. ...
109. Heinsohn and the Hyksos (An Answer to Martin Sieff) [Journals] [Aeon]
... with Biblical chronology and preserving a cornerstone of western civilisation. Martin and I strongly supported Heinsohn's work on Mesopotamia as well as Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos revisions for Egypt. At first I agreed with Martin that Heinsohn's Mesopotamian revisions could be reconciled with Velikovsky's Bible based chronology. But gradually my doubts grew stronger. Martin's reconstruction of ancient history places the Exodus at the end of the Early Bronze, ca. 1500 BCE. Heinsohn was giving 1500 BCE as the beginning of the Early Bronze, and hinting that he intended to lower this key date even further. The crisis came when Heinsohn- working from conclusions forced upon him by his Mesopotamian chronology- lowered his date for the Amarna period ...
110. A Brief Response to Marvin Luckerman [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... With this I disagree. If the end of MB II C is the time of the Joshua destruction(s ), then that should mean that the Hyksos had been ruling Egypt and probably Canaan for at least the forty years comprising the period of wandering in the desert .. . because the Hyksos entered Egypt at the time of the Exodus." This supposed disagreement does not really exist. I have never denied that the Hyksos period included the last 40 years of MB II C. In the article of mine which Mr. Luckerman criticizes, I refer to the eclipse of Egypt's XIIIth Dynasty (and hence the start of the Hyksos period) as preceding by "a ...
111. Introduction - Ages in Chaos? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Jerusalem in the 5th year of Rehoboam (as described in II Chronicles chap. 12) was Shoshenq I of the 22nd Dynasty. The Bubastite, or eastern, portal at Karnak in southern Egypt describes a campaign carried out by Shoshenq I in Palestine [17]. Reckoning back to earlier times on the basis of biblical information, the Exodus of Moses and the Israelites from Egypt would have occurred around 1450BC and Abraham would have lived around 2000BC. In between came Joseph, who was supposedly responsible for the Israelites settling in Egypt in the first place, after he had gained influence by saving the country from the effects of a severe famine [18]. According to Manetho ...

AFTER the death of Isaac, his sons divided their habitations respectively; nor did they retain what they had before; but Esau departed from the city of Hebron, and left it to his brother, and dwelt in Seir, and ruled over Idumea.

113. Letters to the Editor C&AH 4:2 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History IV:2 (July 1982) Home | Issue Contents Letters to the Editor Editor, C&AH: It has for a long time been my impression that Hammurabi should be dated around the time of the Exodus. There has not been much proof of this. We date the Exodus at the time of the Thirteenth Dynasty. Most scholars place part of the Thirteenth Dynasty into the Hyksos period. In the middle of the dynasty there is a pharaoh named Tutimaos who probably was the pharaoh of the Exodus. About forty years before him there is another pharaoh who was Neferhotep I. It is this Neferhotep who may give us the link ...

... , in the days of a great cataclysm, when the earth quaked and the sun's motion was interrupted, the water in the rivers turned to blood.(1 ) Ipuwer, the Egyptian eyewitness of the catastrophe, wrote his lament on papyrus:(2 ) "The river is blood ' " and this corresponds with the Book of Exodus (7 :20): "All the waters that were in the river were turned to blood." The author of the papyrus also wrote: "Plague is throughout the land. Blood is everywhere," and this, too, corresponds with the Book of Exodus (7 : 21) : "There was blood throughout ...
115. The Stratigraphical Chronology of Ancient Israel [Journals] [Aeon]
... historical content of the Abraham legends was dismissed as early as 1878 when Julius Wellhausen published his famous Geschichte Israels (History of Israel). All he could see in the patriarchs were composite figures designed to serve as "models of the good Israelite." (1 ) Meanwhile the exposition of biblical events as awkward blunders has focused on the Exodus, conquest and settlement: "There was no real Exodus, there was no real wilderness wandering, and there was no sojourn at Kadesh Barnea," (2 ) because "a thorough archaeological research at the oasis of Kadesh Barnea did not even reveal one sherd from the Late Bronze Age or Iron Age I (1550-1000). ...

Now, in Ages In Chaos, he presents another aspect of his startling theory - a unique and radical revision of ancient history.

His reconstruction poses the question-Are six ...
117. The Cosmic Serpent by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [Kronos]
... book like this could not have been written without repeated reference to the works of Immanuel Velikovsky, especially as the other ingredients of the book include: 1. evolution in the wake of catastrophic extinctions; 2. mythology as the true record of man's reaction to catastrophe, in particular, to comet- and meteor-borne catastrophe; 3. the Exodus event and the Flood of Noah as worldwide catastrophic events which were caused by comets- within the memory of man; 4. a Revised Chronology for ancient Egypt. A reader might think that this is eloquent testimony to the sustained vitality of Velikovsky's ideas, for the ingredients of this "most extraordinary" book contain most (but not ...

119. Planets in the Bible: I -- The Cosmology of Job [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of Lot, Abraham, Jacob or Ephraim, his wife being the daughter of Jacob. (While the Arabic tradition wrongly assumes this to be Leah, this identification as a daughter of Jacob tallies with that of the Tractate Genesis Rabbah 57:4 .) All these traditions, however variant, nevertheless place Job in the period before the Exodus. So the historical Job almost certainly lived in pre-Exodus times, somewhere between the 18th and 15th centuries BC. As we shall see, abundant and unambiguous motifs in the book of Job point to a very early, and quite possibly pre-Exodus, date. Could the book of Job, then, have been written so early, in ...
120. The Electrical God [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the needs of the hallucinators such as Moses lost face. In reality it was the catastrophes of the world whose terrible stresses made hallucinatory leaders out of borderline cases and staunch believers out of normal people. (And elsewhere Jaynes makes this very point.) There is every reason to believe that long cycles of history occurred before the time of Exodus and Moses when there were "golden ages" of Saturn and Elohim, whose central and celebrated significance was the reduced role permitted to mosaic characters, that is, reduced schizotypical behavior. Yet, as one studies Moses as a person, it is plain that his peculiarities as a human being are remarkably well reflected in Yahweh as a ...

... who have presented a similar scenario as historical fact over the years. A supposed collision or near-collision between earth and an asteroid, comet, or planet in ancient times has been used variously as the explanation for the destruction of Atlantis (2 ) , the Deluge recorded in Genesis (3 ) , or the miraculous events connected with the Israelite Exodus from Egypt. (4 ) Immanuel Velikovsky has provided the most detailed arguments for such cosmic catastrophism, and his theories have a large and very vocal following among the general public. Worlds in Collision?

... ANET, pp. 444-5) [called by Velikovsky the "Papyrus Ermitage" - Ed.] seems to relate to the same events that are described by Ipuwer: again, concern is expressed that there has been an invasion by Asiatics, that the land is topsy-turvy with the old order of the classes overthrown. Also (cf. Exodus) - "The sun disc is covered over. It will not shine (so that) people may see." Famine doesn't really enter into the woes unless in "it is the paupers that will be eating bread", etc. 5. Line 4:1 - "Indeed, hair has fallen out for everybody. ...
124. A Response to Forrest [Journals] [SIS Review]
... results in just as much dyscontextualization. (Forrest claims to be "treading cautiously on the admitted incompleteness of the ANET text"; but his use of it belies such caution.) And there is one hilarious moment where a criticism of Velikovsky rebounds squarely on the critic: listing four examples of claims for parallels between Ipuwer's descriptions and the Exodus account, Forrest laments: "V does not give the contexts of these quotes, and only [one of the four] is in ANET." But Forrest does not give the locations in Worlds in Collision of Velikovsky's claims either, whilst two of the three I have been able to check (the fourth cannot be traced through ...

... 4 ) In these traditions there are two concurrent elements: a complete darkness that endured a number of days (in Asia, prolonged day) and, when the light broke through, a mountain-high wave that brought destruction. The Hebrew story of the passage of the sea contains the same elements. There was a prolonged and complete darkness (Exodus 10:21). The last day of the darkness was at the Red Sea.(5 ) When the world plunged out of darkness, the bottom of the sea was uncovered, the waters were driven apart and heaped up like walls in a double tide.(6 ) The Septuagint translation of the Bible says that the ...
