... the history of the ancient Near East - yet, viewed objectively, the histories of Egypt and Palestine, placed side by side, present a puzzling and unexpected picture. The Bible abounds in references to Egypt - Abraham's visit and his dealings with Pharaoh, the descent into Egypt under Joseph, the sojourn and enslavement of the Hebrews, the Exodus, the friendly relations with Egypt established under Solomon, the invasions of Shishak and Zerah and the other references to Egypt and its Pharaohs in the Books of Kings and Chronicles and the writings of the prophets. Contacts between the two peoples are often described in great detail in the Bible, and the frequency of their mention is only to ...
202. Velikovsky in America [Journals] [Aeon]
... . The sentence for scientists found guilty is to be given a label and to be associated with past deeds that all decent persons will find repellent.- Edward 0. Wilson When [stability] collapses, fear takes hold. The Bible recognized this profound truth: when the law falls, heaven and earth tremble.- Guglielmo Ferrero American Exodus In December 16, 1937, Simon Velikovsky died. Despite the intellectual gifts and forceful personality his son had displayed on numerous occasions, Immanuel Velikovsky, already in his early forties, had accomplished little. That same year, Sigmund Freud began publishing in serial form what would be his final book, Moses and Monotheism. The book's central ...

... of papers was submitted and presented by an eclectic group of scholars and researchers in anthropology, archaeology, Assyriology, and biblical studies. The audience was also transformed into willing co-participants as lengthy question and answer periods materialized. William Shea, Associate Professor at Andrews University Seminary, presented additional evidence for a fifteenth-century B.C . date for the Exodus, based on the contemporaneous chronology of the Ancient Near East. He also presented some further evidence against the conventional thirteenth-century Exodus date- a view recently developed in his Exodus article in the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia. Dr. Shea, in addition, showed a very convincing slide presentation on the location of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah ...

... would cause the hallucinated voices of the gods to come in an unsolvable "Babel" of confusion. Such a weakening brought about the otherwise unaccountable collapse of Assur around 1700 BC, according to Jaynes. He also attributes the breakdown of bicamerality to the eruption of the volcano on Thera, an event which he surprisingly sees as contemporary to the Exodus and the events of the ILIAD. One of Jaynes's most significant observations concerning the breakdown of bicamerality is that men would have started to infer consciousness in others before supposing it in themselves: this is the opposite to the traditional view which posits consciousness in others on the basis of first realising it in oneself. In chapter four he focuses ...

... to as Sedeq (or Zedek) and Yahweh Sedeq.(38) Dimont also made the erroneous statement that Abram "met" the Lord God Jehovah' for the first time" in Haran(39) and that Jehovah (or Yahweh) became the god of Abraham.(40) This is not so. The Book of Exodus, for instance, is very specific: "And God spoke unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord: "And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of El Shaddai [translated as God Almighty' in the King James version], but by my name Jehovah ...
206. Jericho [Journals] [Kronos]
... Finally, after World War II, Jericho being now a part of the Jordan kingdom, Miss Kathleen Kenyon undertook the decisive work of clarifying Jericho's history from the Neolithic age on. In several painstaking campaigns she lifted one veil after another from the city of legend and history. She was not led by any theory about the time of the Exodus, neither by that of Garstang who claimed Exodus in the days of Amenhotep II and Conquest in the days of Amenhotep III of the eighteenth dynasty (Habiru theory), nor by that of Albright that the Exodus took place in the days of Ramses II and the Conquest in the days of Merneptah (Israel Stele), both of ...
207. The History Of The Revisionist Debate: A Personal View [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... which they controlled editorially, and at the very least gave undue bias to their own favorites. COURVILLE - THE FIRST DISSIDENT The first revisionist to break with Velikovsky's model already out in his 1945 "Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History" was Donovan Courville. In 1971, even before the appearance of Pensee, Courville published his two-volume The Exodus Problem and its Ramifications. This work failed to be widely read by revisionists for a number of reasons. It was honestly and uncompromisingly fundamentalist in inspiration, thus alienating Velikovsky himself and a number of his historic supporters. It was also very densely written, with an exceptionally confusing system of notes and references. Courville based his Biblical chronology ...

... last been found in the historical record, a revelation that brings with it several new historical texts detailing the life of Jesus. These new accounts show him to have been the governor of Tiberias, a leader of 600 rebel fishermen', and to have died in AD 68 - long after the traditional date for his crucifixion. Tempest & Exodus Discovers a large quotation from the biblical Exodus, inscribed on the Tempest Stele' of Ahmose I - the first time that an Old Testament account has been found in the historical record. The implications of this revelation are that the biblical Exodus must have occurred in the early 16th century BC, that the biblical plagues were probably caused by ...

... Imhotep and Joseph. Very strong evidence from the Egyptian records supports this, and the complete reconstruction of Old and Middle Kingdom chronology that it requires had been presented to Donovan Courville and by Dr Herman L. Hoeh*. Radiocarbon dates from about the time of the Mars disaster (ca. -750 to ca. -680) back to the Exodus have to be adjusted to the Suess calibration. Given the sheer scale of the Exodus disaster and the changes it wrought on the atmosphere, any radiocarbon dates, favourable or not, before the Exodus should, I think, be applied with great caution. A full issue of the Pensee series (no. IV) dealt with the ...

... ., 1977), p. 69. - LMG ) Shortly thereafter, in a casual conversation, Velikovsky began to speculate on the origin of the Dead Sea in Palestine and, consequently, whether some sort of natural catastrophe had created it. If so, he also wondered whether a catastrophe had been instrumental in the events of the Exodus. A test of that idea would be whether there existed any Egyptian sources that portrayed comparable events. Quickly he found a source - the papyrus Ipuwer - which seemed to echo the Biblical account, even that most colorful detail in Exodus relating that the river turned to blood. It soon became clear that a possible independent eye-witness report of ...
211. The Israelite Origins of Monotheism and the Prohibition of Killing [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... perception. II. Prohibition of Killing and Monotheism My considerations concerning the origin of the general prohibition on killing are divided into three steps, of which only the first applies to monotheism. Proceeding chronologically, these steps are: Abraham's failure to sacrifice Isaac; Abraham already communicates with a one and only invisible God. The real conditions of the Exodus; these give the Israelites every reason to abstain from infanticide, and The new identity of the Israelites, which leaves no room for the killing of children and slaves. The legends, reports, and stories about Abraham are relatively disjointed and dispersed among Biblical and non-Biblical sources, some older and some more recent. In suggesting a connection ...

... of the biblical Pentapolis is because their destruction has been dated to somewhere between 2300 and 2350 B.C .13 According to the conventional scheme, this places the cities in the Early Bronze Age. While Sieff disagrees with the traditional dates assigned to Early Bronze, he has accepted the end of this age as the time when the Israelite Exodus from Egypt occurred. Thus, according to his reconstruction, these cities could not have been destroyed during the time of Abraham. Not everyone, however, has accepted such a low dating for Early Bronze, just as not everyone has accepted the Exodus to have taken place at the end of that age. John Bimson, for one ...

From: SIS Review Vol III No 2 (Autumn 1978) Home | Issue Contents An Eighth-Century Date for Merenptah John Bimson Dr Bimson specialised in Hebrew Chronology at the Department of Biblical Studies, Sheffield University, his doctorate thesis (reviewed elsewhere in these pages) concerned the dating of the Exodus. He is continuing his research into the stratigraphy and chronology of Palestine, on which he has contributed earlier articles in the Review. Introduction In Ramses II and his Time Velikovsky dates the accession of Merenptah to c. 569 BC (table, p. 254). He interprets the mention of Israel on Merenptah's "Israel stele" as a reference to the deportation of the population ...

... for an earlier mention of God's Holy Spirit. Ancient History Study Group - 2 Report of the meeting held at Mrs Clarice Morgan's on 31st August 1991. There were 6 people present, including, we were delighted to see, Alan Newby. A lively discussion was enjoyed by all present, with the main topic being the Pharaoh of the Exodus. Bob Porter produced a chart of different placings for the Exodus in Egyptian history, ranging from the conventional view to that of Velikovsky. The latter was supported by Tony Chavasse who went over the evidence in some detail, in addition suggesting there were 3 exoduses and perhaps 2 Moses, viz the story of Zipporah in Exodus 4. ...

... effect of a single meteor or cometary train passing through the atmosphere would be heavier than many hydrogen bombs (unless these latter are deliberately "dirtied" by cobalt or other chemicals) because of its great heat, its compression of the ambiant air, its wide path of fall-out, and deep and large explosive cratering. During the disasters of Exodus, several documents give indications of radiation effects. The widespread "leprosy" effect may denote radiation disease, as I have explained in my study of Moses. Eating fallen quail killed many persons, reports Jewish legend. The manna, too, had to be eaten under supervision; to argue that it was"holy" and thus ...

... of Hammurabi. While the present editor dates Hammurabi about the time of Joshua, Mr. Hickman attempts to build a case for his dating nearer to David. It is important to place Hammurabi in his right time. The third lecture is by Dr. William Shea. His topic was "Some New Factors Bearing Upon the Date of the Exodus." The present editor has dated Exodus at the time of the end of the Middle Bronze Age, arriving at this conclusion some ten years ago. Now, other- more traditional- scholars are finally beginning to see this possibility. While Dr. Shea dates the Exodus at the end of the Middle Bronze, he tries to ...

... of the pillar of fire. Also of course, the two separate traditions, one mythical and one biblical, tend to confirm the argument that there is behind both a historical reality. A number of ancient authors clearly state that Typhon was a comet. Velikovsky's thesis demands more, however: Typhon must be dated to the time of the Exodus. If this can be done, there is impressive evidence that the pillar of fire was a comet or material from a comet. During his investigation of the works of chronographers, Velikovsky found a 1688 book, Cometographia, by Hevelius; he quoted earlier writers who had in turn quoted still earlier and lost manuscript books. From one ...
221. Henry H. Bauer and Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... Egypt were actually physical occurrences, rather faithfully described in the Bible. Searching in various places, he came upon a translation of the Papyrus Ipuwer and was struck by how similar the events described there were to those in the biblical account. Could these be the same event? On the face of it, no- because the papyrus predated the Exodus by several hundred years. Could the dating of the papyrus be wrong? At this stage our imaginary scholar would have attempted to find some independent evidence to alter the dating of the papyrus. But Velikovsky did not do that. He postulated the different date and then proposed yet further thorough going revisions of accepted chronology." (174 ...

... " Home | Issue Contents The Papyrus Ipuwer Scholarly confirmation of Velikovsky's claims concerning Ipuwer's lamentations. Velikovsky's priority remains unacknowledged in the scholarly journals. Review In 1945 Immanuel Velikovsky stated that "the Papyrus Ipuwer comprises a text which originated shortly after the close of the Middle Kingdom; the original text was written by an eyewitness to the plagues and the Exodus." (" Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History," 4.) In 1909 Gardiner had ascribed The Admonitions of an Egyptian Sage (as the Ipuwer document is also known) to the First Intermediate Period. But a comparison of the papyrus with the Hebrew Exodus story convinced Velikovsky that 1) both sources describe the same ...

... scholars who would question a 10th-century date for the literary composition of the stories, being prepared to defend a much earlier one. This unwarranted scepticism of the Biblical traditions also extends to later periods. Hence Kenyon can say of Moses (p .32) only that he was "possibly a historical figure"! In connection with dating the Exodus and fixing the length of the sojourn in Egypt, Kenyon dismisses the internal biblical chronology as "certainly out of the question". The reason? "It is conflicting within itself. A period of 400 years for the sojourn and the statement that the fourth generation from the descent into Egypt took part in the Exodus are so obviously ...
