... the Assyrian monarch must be Sennacherib. On my reconstruction Shalmaneser III is clearly suggested. Sodom in the Plain After bouquets for Dirkzwager, brickbats for Dwardu Cardona. As readers, of my articles will, I hope, recall, I agree with the outline archaeological reconstruction of Donovan Courville, followed by Stan Vaninger and Tom Chetwynd, that the Exodus occurred at the end of the Early Bronze Age, that the great material wealth of the so-called Hyksos Empire of Canaan at the climax of the Middle Bronze was the United Kingdom of David and Solomon, which stretched- as the Bible claims- from the Nile to the Euphrates, just as the "mysterious" Hyksos Empire did. ...
127. Zetetic Scholar Nos. 3 & 4 April 1979 [Articles]
... century Velikovsky was well within the ranks of European science. In 1939 he moved to the United States and in 1940 he incidentally happened to make a discovery which changed the direction of his life. This involved finding a reasonable but surprising reinterpretation of a certain Egyptian document and thereby shedding a new light on the nature and date of the Biblical Exodus.1 This, in turn, led to other working hypotheses which he intensively investigated for some ten years. Finally, the fruits of his study came to the public attention in 1950 with the publication of Worlds in Collision. Two years later he released Ages in Chaos, which is supplementary to, but not dependent on, his ...
128. The Last Supper [Journals] [Aeon]
... and his disciples were celebrating a Saturnian festival during their last supper together? The evangelists Mark, Matthew, and Luke all tell us that Jesus was gathered with his disciples to celebrate the feast of Passover. [18] But to what does Passover owe its origin? Passover Passover is mainly believed to be a Jewish spring festival commemorating the Exodus from Egypt. The word "passover" has been explained in this manner: On the eve of the Exodus from Egypt, Moses is said to have commanded the Israelites to select an unblemished male lamb in its first year, to kill it, and sprinkle the door jambs of their dwellings with its blood. The lamb itself was ...

... practice" (S . Richard, "The Early Bronze Age: Archaeological Sources for the History of Palestine", in Biblical Archaeologist, Vol. 50, 1987, March, p. 32 - my emphasis). Thus, the strata removed from biblical Canaanites and Israelites, are transferred to enigmatic Proto-Canaanites and Proto- -Israelites . The Exodus provides a typical example for the mismatch between the biblical date of a biblical historical event, and the mainstream date for a stratum in Israel. A stratum which would fit the story does exist. Yet, the story is discarded because the stratum in question has received an unfitting date. If, however, both unscholarly dates are discarded ...

... and Ramses II and His Time; and in particular that Egypt's 18th, 19th and 20th Dynasties were consecutive and could not be split from one another as Velikovsky had essayed. Nevertheless, as a direct result of the 1978 Conference, the Glasgow Chronology' was born. It adhered to most of Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos Part One thesis (Exodus at end of Middle Bronze Age, Hatshepsut as the Queen of Sheba, Thutmose III as Shishak, etc) and attempted to squeeze the rest of the New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period in Egypt into the remaining years up to 664 BC. A great deal of time and effort in the 4 years after the Glasgow Conference went into ...

... P . was the most devastating since the fall of Saturn; 1453 B.C . may be the exact year by present retrospective reckoning; the superb work of Velikovsky guides us in this as it does elsewhere in these pages [4 ]. It was a year when the plagues struck Egypt, as the Bible recounts, and the exodus of some Hebrew and Egyptian survivors occurred. Every city in the world must have been shaken and damaged. Tidal floods swept over every coastal culture. Volcanoes erupted. The Earth was scorched by lightning, covered with dust, ashes, gravel, obnoxious and noxious gases, struck repeatedly by slow-speed meteorites, and showered with hydrocarbons, some ...
133. The Charisma of Moses [Books] [de Grazia books]
... reconciliation achieved by the leaders of Egypt and Israel to advertise his works as an historical gift to the reconciliation. For the first time in 3400 years, some people were speaking well of the Egyptians. (It matters little in the rhetoric of religion or ethnicism that neither the Egyptians nor the Israeli of today are much like their namesakes of Exodus.) THE LOVE CHILD What strikes me about Freud's determination that Moses was an Egyptian was that he should not ask whether Moses might have been both Egyptian and Hebrew. This I attribute to Freud's own problem of identification. On the one hand, Freud believed himself consciously to be a latter-day Moses, a point that will be explained ...

... , partly to enable access to pilgrims and tourists still visit it regularly. If Helena's identification of the mountain is correct, then the crossing of the Red Sea must have occurred at the top of the western arm. This was the standard Christian belief. In the 20th century this was challenged, mainly by atheists, who argued that the Exodus, the crossing of the Red Sea and the receipt of the Law were all fictional and should be omitted from history. Part of their argument, a minor, but telling part, was the lack of evidence for either event at the site mentioned. Partly in reaction to this, several people have sought alternative sites. The story ...

... the third book he has had published. The second, The Genesis of Israel and Egypt, came out in 1997. To have had three books published is a tremendous achievement for which he deserves much credit. This is a tribute to his tireless energy and enthusiasm for his chosen subject. His second book focussed mainly on the Sojourn and Exodus eras but closed with a reference to a further work dealing with the ages of the pyramid builders and the time of Assyrian control in Egypt. These subjects are the central themes discussed in The Pyramid Age. As a sequel, this presents a further development of his own very radical historical revision. For those who are not familiar with ...
136. Three Views on Orbital Circularisation [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1990 No 2 (Dec 1990) Home | Issue Contents FORUM Three Views on Orbital Circularisation A. Robert B. Driscoll and Orbital Parameters of Venus and Earth In Workshop 1990:1 , Robert B. Driscoll suggests some limits for the orbital parameters of Venus and the Earth in the days following the Exodus. Driscoll assumes the orbital period of Venus to be either approximately 2 per cent shorter than the terrestrial year, or approximately 2 per cent longer. This would give encounters at intervals of approximately 50 years. Driscoll refers to my work on the circularisation of the orbit of Venus (Kronos VII:2 [1982], pp. ...

For Velikovsky it was a Torschlusspanik- a "fear-of-the-closing-of-the-gate".

138. Objections to the Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Crete, whence the Philistines came. Rameses III therefore battled against the Philistines: this is in keeping with the conventional chronology, since in the 12th century BC the Philistines were at the height of their power (cf. the Old Testament) whereas in the 4th century BC the Philistine's had ceased to be of importance. 4. THE EXODUS (Ages in Chaos, chapter 1) Conventional chronology associates the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt with the reign of Rameses II (13th century BC, conventional chronology). This is supported by the fact that Exodus 1:11 states that the Israelites helped build the city of Raamses for Pharaoh. Raamses is the city in the ...
139. Ebla and Velikovsky [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... relationship between the theories of Immanuel Velikovsky and the new findings from the city of Ebla. Dr. Velikovsky has written several books and articles on many aspects of Old World history, but with regard to Elba there are two important caveats to remember. The first- and in the author's opinion the most crucial- is that Velikovsky placed the exodus at the end of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt,1 which would put Joseph in the Middle Kingdom as well,2 and Abraham at tine end of Egypt's Old Kingdom. The second is that catastrophes of world-wide dimensions took place at various times in the ancient world, causing destruction and mass migrations. Ebla was a community in western ...

... are widespread and not in an readily digestible form. By necessity, one is obliged to ramble (pick one's way) through various sections of the Pentateuch in order to extract the overall picture, even though the skeletal frame is indeed contained within Leviticus (specifically Chapter 23 as footnoted in the article). This scriptural excursion takes one from Exodus, through Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and even wider afield. Regrettably, the thrust of my article seems to have escaped my critic. I have endeavored to point out the exquisitely accurate character of the original Mosaic calendar, handed down at a time when, arguably, the rest of the world was grappling ad hoc with a contemporary change ...

Finding a Starting Point: The Conquest of Canaan Velikovsky has synchronized the Exodus with the end of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt, primarily by comparing the scriptural record of the Exodus with Egyptian records describing a time of natural upheaval.(4 ) Since the Exodus occurred in Egypt correlated with archaeological ages based on catastrophe and social it cannot be directly occupation levels in Palestine and Syria. But if the conquest of ...

... discoveries. When most of the research was completed, Velikovsky began preparing for the publication of the book and his return to Europe. Meanwhile, he got into a discussion with a friend which would eventually cause the cancellation of his family's return to Europe and change the course of his life. During the discussion, a question arose about the Exodus. If it had actually occurred, why does there seem to be no record in Egyptian history? In Hebrew history, the Exodus from Egypt is a very important event. If the event took place with only half the fanfare described in traditional accounts, Egyptian history should contain a record of this event. Using the conventional chronology of ...

... he most probably succeeded Sethos II on the throne (CAH, Vol. II, 238). But we are running ahead of ourselves. Josephus in Against Apion (Whiston, Vol. I, 26-31) recounts an interesting story of Manetho about a revolt in Egypt which evidently took place, according to Josephus, 518 years after the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt. Manetho, Josephus claims, treats this later event as the original Exodus for anti-semitic reasons, linking the revolt of a large group of Egyptians, who because of leprosy and other ills had been banished from Egypt, with the Israelites. The most interesting feature, however, is that the event ...
144. Moses Pharaoh of Egypt - the mystery of Akhenaten resolved [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... serpents' of the magicians. Osman argues that the biblical story was describing Akhenaten convincing the wise men of Egypt of his right to the throne by virtue of his sceptre of royal authority in the shape of a serpent and his performance of the sed' festival rituals. However, this did not prevent Ramesses I, the pharaoh of the Exodus in Osman's scenario, from pursuing them with his army. As Osman observes, the short reign of Ramesses I makes him an ideal candidate for drowning in the Red Sea. At this point it might be appropriate to observe that while Osman identifies Avaris with Zarw or Sile and places Goshen in the Delta area, the possibility that Moses ...
145. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol II No 1 (Autumn 1977) Home | Issue Contents FORUM Letters John J. Bimson: Raamses Again In Newsletter 2, September 1975, pp.9 - 11, John Day argued against Velikovsky's revised chronology on several points. One of his arguments (pp.9 - 10, under the heading The Exodus) concerned Exodus 1: 11, the verse which states that the Israelites in Egypt built for pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses. Raamses is generally assumed to be the same as the city known from Egyptian sources as Pi-Ramesse, the Delta residence-city of Rameses II. Day therefore seized on the verse as support for the view which associates ...

... argument that there had been a violent destruction due to natural causes (3 ). On the basis of the absence of Mycenaean type pottery, Garstang dated the fall of these walls to c. 1400 BC, a date wholly consistent with the internal chronology of the Old Testament, but one which gave rise to the difficulty of dating the Exodus to 1450-1440 BC when, under the conventional chronology, the 18th Dynasty had established Egyptian control over Palestine. Subsequently, however great advances were made in the attribution of pottery styles to Early, Middle and Late Bronze and Iron Age cultures and their subdivisions. As a result of the excavations sponsored by the American School of Oriental Research and ...

... of Athena were localized went unnoticed, with negative implications for Velikovsky's interpretation of the goddess' epithet. (38) The pitfalls inherent in Velikovsky's lack of a systematic methodology are best illustrated, perhaps, by the tension apparent in his work between myth as astronomical allegory and as literal history, particularly as it applies to his discussion of the Exodus. It was Velikovsky's interpretation of the unusual circumstances surrounding the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt, of course, which formed the theoretical basis for both Worlds in Collision and Ages in Chaos. Yet here, too, this pivotal event has been virtually ignored by subsequent scholars influenced by Velikovsky, this despite the fact that his interpretation of the Exodus ...
149. The Synthesis of Manna [Journals] [Pensee]
... . 1500 B.C ., our planet was shrouded by the thick, hydrocarbon-rich tail and atmosphere of the proto-planet Venus. Petroleum rained onto our planet and the sky lit up in fire. But after the fire and explosions in the sky, manna began to fall. Such a sequence of events can be gathered from the book of Exodus and from other ancient texts. Velikovsky concluded that manna was produced from the Venusian hydro-carbons. "When the air is overcharged with vapour, dew, rain, hail or snow falls. Most probably the atmosphere discharged its compounds, presumably of carbon and hydrogen, in a similar way" (1 ). Unfortunately Velikovsky did not show ...

Yet there is much evidence, both from the Scriptures themselves and from later Jewish tradition (as recorded, for example, in Josephus which would suggest a location in north-western Arabia, ancient Midian. In fact, the Exodus account makes a location in Midian virtually inevitable, as Moses meets his father-in-law, Jethro (of Midian), before he ascends the holy mountain (Exodus 18). The controversy has recently been ignited anew by two American writers/adventurers, who managed to get into Saudi Arabia (where tourism as such is illegal) and investigate ...
