... MD, became a semi-finalist in the annual Westinghouse Science Talent Search competition with a mathematical paper on celestial dynamics. This paper is an excellent, thoroughgoing effort to explore the perturbating effects of a planetary near-encounter. What makes it particularly remarkable is that the basic premise is drawn from Velikovsky's WORLDS IN COLLISION in conjunction with the Biblical account of the Exodus - an account which, in part, Velikovsky himself had used when he constructed his cosmological scenario of catastrophe in the 15th century BCE. Weinert's major findings, in a computer-assisted description of a planetary fly-by to Earth, were that the optimum size of another celestial body would have to be equal to that of the Earth itself to conform ...
177. Falls of Blood from Venus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... from Venus Bernard Newgrosh Dr Velikovsky has produced numerous citations from ancient sources to show how falls of a blood-like substance occurred when a "new" comet (later to become the planet Venus) came into catastrophic contact with the Earth:(1 ) the Manuscript Quiche of the Maya, the so-called Papyrus Ipuwer from Egypt and the Book of Exodus all record the fact that the water in the rivers was turned into "blood". In addition to these examples, Dr Velikovsky refers to the Greek myth of Zeus and Typhon, the Finnish epic Kalevala and the lore of the Altai Tartars. However, a more exhaustive survey of such legends would include the Sumerian myth of Inanna ...
178. Hazor and the anachronisms in the chronology of the Ancient Near East [Journals] [SIS Review]
... [23, 24]. A Hazorean king by the name of Ibni (cuneiform) who had ruled about one century before Hamurabi in the -19th century has always fired the fantasies of Biblical scholars, because his name equalled Jabin (in alphabetic Hebrew), who was king of Hazor - the head of all those kingdoms' during the Exodus, when he was killed by the Israelites (Joshua 11: 1 ff.). As is well known, last century's scholars put the Exodus around 1200 BC, far from Ibni's -19th century date. Since the mid-eighties, Israeli and non-Israeli scholars have discarded the Exodus as mere fantasy: In conclusion, it may be stated confidently ...
179. The Israelite Conquest of Canaan [Journals] [Aeon]
... nations as Canaanites and Israelites and the enigmatic Hyksos as the Assyrian Empire of the eighth and seventh centuries B.C .E . Thus, the known nations get their strata back, whereas the exciting unknown ones can be recognized for what they are: phantoms created by a misconstrued chronology. Separating Myth from History "There was no real Exodus, there was no real wilderness wandering, and there was no sojourn at Kadesh-Barnea." (1 ) This statement of the eminent excavator of Gezer/Israel sums up mainstream perplexity about one of the most famous stories mankind preserved from generation to generation. Long ago more than one scholar recognized that the Moses legends originated around the priestly ...
180. The Ark in Action [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the ark as an electrical capacitor was capable of producing from 500 to 700 volts [6 ]. This is quite enough to electrocute humans and animals as well as to perform many other electrical operations such as apparitions, smoke, and fire-making. However, neither scholar had in mind the effects upon the ark of the electrical turbulence of the Exodus period, a condition that was deduced from many circumstances and the Bible itself by Jerry Ziegler (1977), in his book YHWH. The Leyden jar collects electricity. In its simplest form it consists of a pointed metal aerial conducting rod that is insulated from the ground by being immersed in water inside a glass jar, An electrical ...
181. The el-Amarna Letters (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... Ages in Chaos Volume I: From the Exodus to King Akhnaton CHAPTER SIX The el-Amarna Letters Immanuel Velikovsky The el-Anwrna Letters and When They Were Written A few small villages are scattered in the valley by the bank of the Nile where once stood Akhet-Aton, "the place where Aton rises." The site bears a name artificially composed by modern archaeologists, Tell el-Amarna. Ruins of temples, palaces, tombs, private dwellings, and workshops of craftsmen have been cleared of the desert sand that buried them for thousands of years. In 1887 state archives were unearthed at Tell el-Amama. A fellah woman digging in her yard turned up some clay tablets with cuneiform signs; the story ...

Wilson among them - have suggested a link between the volcanic eruption of Thera and the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt with its attendant plagues. From the physical evidence, however, Stiebing [op. cit., pp. 73 ff.] has recently discredited this theoretical connection. Moreover, a redating of the Theran eruption to ca.1600 B.C . - a date independently supported by recent radiocarbon results* [P . ...
183. In Response to Mitcham's "Critique" [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... that proposed more than a decade ago. Mitcham's "Critique" is directed at this proposed reconstruction. Alternate proposals were suggested in the same journal issue by Mitcham and by Barry Page. Whatever method is ultimately found to hold, a gross reduction of the dates for the Hittites and for Babylon is obvious and imperative if Velikovsky's placement of the Exodus incident in Egypt's history is to survive. The growing number of scholars who recognize a demand for gross corrections in the conventional chronology provides the needed impetus for further research. In his "Critique" Mitcham did not refer to his previous paper except as a reference in his bibliography. Hence the reader of the critique may well have difficulty ...

185. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . However, the purpose of this communication is rather to take up the challenge made at the end of Steven's report concerning the length of the Israelite sojourn in Egypt in the hope that it might stimulate a new Forum debate on what is a very important issue. The Septuagint version of the Sojourn narrative states that the 430-year timespan given in Exodus 12:40 included the period following Abraham's departure from Haran down to Jacob's arrival in Egypt - a period of some 215 years in its own right - leaving just 215 years for the Egyptian Sojourn which followed. Steven argues that this version is manifestly a correction originating with the Greek translators'. He cites the article by John Bimson ...

FROM THE EXODUS OUT OF EGYPT, TO THE REJECTION OF THAT GENERATION.CHAPTER 1.HOW MOSES WHEN HE HAD BROUGHT THE PEOPLE OUT OF EGYPT LED THEM TO MOUNT SINAI; BUT NOT TILL THEY HAD SUFFERED MUCH IN THEIR JOURNEY. 1. WHEN the Hebrews had obtained such a wonderful deliverance, the country was a great trouble to them, for it was entirely a desert, and without sustenance for them; and also had exceeding little water, so that it not only was not at all sufficient for the men, but not enough to feed any of the cattle, for it was ...

... of knowledge and experience that can be used to resolve these critical questions. The facts concerning the wandering in the wilderness are so slight that virtually all commentaries are simply opinion. Comments would be appreciated on every aspect of the following questions: 1. What was Moses' age when he returned to Egypt in order to lead the Israelites' exodus? 2. How long in solar years did the Israelites wander in the wilderness? 3. How did they calculate this time? 4. What was the age of Moses at his death? 5. Was Velikovsky right in his opinion that the wandering in the wilderness was under a sky sufficiently overcast to be called darkness? 6 ...

... 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 Mt Sinai described in the Bible have been real and sequential aspects of single titanic cataclysm of natural forces? If the Exodus took place during - or because of-an upheaval ...

... effect produced many great changes, and the effect in each field was also large, I do not hesitate to give them the name of quantavolutions. Quantavolutions are abrupt, intensive, large-scale changes, and contrast with evolutionary changes which are, as they say, drop-by-drop and point-by-point. The time, about 3500 years ago, was that of Exodus. The catastrophe of the Exodus is described in detail in God's Fire and Ages in Chaos. I. We begin with astronomy and physics. We speak of calendars, reports of sky bodies in action, legends of the gods, sky-struck human behavior of the period. We say of the Astrosphere: "No available record of astronomical ...
191. Gerontology, Environment, and Geological Catastrophism [Journals] [Kronos]
... Velikovsky, in his works, has successfully predicted discoveries which were heralded as impossible, and as rubbish, because they clashed with "known" scientific fact. Much of his work was based on the acceptance of the works of man as being a valid record of real events. In Ages In Chaos, Velikovsky places the time for the Exodus, as described in the Old Testament, at ca. 1500 B.C .( 5 ) The Flood is more difficult to pinpoint but could have been at the end of the last Ice Age. Dr. Broecks suggests that ice cores indicate a very sudden climatic change around 11,000 years ago.(6 ) Pollen ...

"(77) Then the Bundahis proceeds: "The planets, with many demons [comets], dashed against the celestial sphere, and they mixed the constellations; and the whole creation was as disfigured as though fire disfigured every place and smoke arose over it." A similar plague of vermin is described in the Scriptures, in Exodus, Chapters 8 to 10, and also in Psalm 78 where it is told that there were sent "divers sorts of flies among them [the people of Egypt], which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them." Their labour was given to the caterpillar and the locust. "The dust of the land became ...

... not a nation which had just spent between 120 and 400 years (the various accepted sojourn lengths) under Egyptian cultural domination? Would not this same infant nation have taken such a system with it into the desert together with many of the devices it had observed working so well under Egyptian priestly hands? Israel commenced its second history with the Exodus. This impressive occurrence welded itself onto the psyche of young Israel. Coupled with the drama of the Exodus was Moses' brilliant piece of theatre at Mount Sinai. The acceptance of the Decalogue by the new nation is now history, but some of the ramifications concerning the law therein contained argue for the existence of a year containing only ...

David Salkeld gave us part 1 of his thesis A Harbinger of the Exodus. He had been intrigued by the fact that Velikovsky, in all the research he did concerning the question What if the Exodus were a real event?

... , earlier, location, and later migrated to Canaan. Caphtor is usually identified as Crete. Velikovsky believed it was Cyprus (Ages in Chaos, 201). In either case, maritime trade and communications would have been vital to the Caphtorim. Their island homeland would not have been a very safe or pleasant place to be during the Exodus catastrophe. Mass migrations occurred all over the Mediterranean as people sought relief from what they must have hoped was a local disturbance. Israelites left Egypt. Amalekites left Arabia. And Caphtorim, their island life disrupted by raging wind and water, left Caphtor. The Bible offers evidence that the same disaster which made the Israelite Exodus possible also ...

... the epitome of Manetho indicates that he began to reign at the age of six and continued to a hundred. ' Although modern scholars have questioned this, it remains to be disproved." A more perfect match could hardly be asked for. And in light of it, it behooves Rees to explain why the Midrashim support an 18th Dynasty Exodus rather than a 6th Dynasty one. Also, his ideas of equating characters in Greek mythology is confusing. Is Rees trying to mythologize Israelite history or de-mythologize Greek mythology? Is he suggesting that the Patriarchs were Greek? Or Indian? Does his equation of Abraham and Sarah with Brahma and Sri imply that the biblical Patriarchs are merely echoes ...

... the day and could cover the earth with tenebrosity," wrote a clergyman who spent many years in Mexico and in the libraries of the Old World which store ancient manuscripts of the Mayas and works of early Indian and Spanish authors about them.(10) It did not occur to him that the biblical narrative of the time of the Exodus contains the same elements. With the end of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt, when the Israelites left that country, the old order of seasons came to an end and a new world age began. The Fourth Book of Ezra, which borrows from some earlier sources, refers to the "end of the seasons" in these words ...
199. Testing Rohl's Test of Time [Journals] [Aeon]
... the book is nicely balanced and acts to invest the author with immediate, far reaching authority which may, in fact, prove undeserving, for Rohl's scheme may yet be revealed as just another failed attempt to reach the elusive truths behind this obscure and important period in world history. Consider, for example: The notion that Moses led Israel's exodus from Egypt at the close of the Middle Kingdom is Velikovsky's, not Rohl's, and that the New Chronology in its present form did not initiate that concept. On the other hand, insistence that Joseph was vizier to Amennemes III is David Rohl's exclusive contribution. Be aware, too, that the estimated mid-fifteenth century BC date for the ...
