... us build a tower, ' said they, a tower of great height, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole Earth! ' Such a tower', being an idealized mountain, copies its form from its natural prototype. The most striking mountains are those which stand out boldly from among their neighbours: cone-shaped, pyramidal peaks. Mention of such an early tower' should, therefore, by no means suggest the forms of architecture which are familiar to us, a castle keep, an observation tower, or a church steeple- though they are direct descendants of the artificial hills; rather we should think of the tower as having the form of a mound ...
32. Problems for Rohl's New Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... early in the 7th century - specifically to provide a stable shield-wall behind which otherwise vulnerable hoplite phalanxes would be safe? Can Rohl or anyone else show me a Greek portrayal of the double-handled shield predating c.650 BC? 3. How is it that both Seti I and Ramesses II show Hittite allies carrying typical Boeotian-style Medish shields? The Pyramid Age: 1. How does Rohl explain the fact that Herodotus, who is otherwise so accurate, places the pyramid builders - Cheops, Chephren etc - in the mid-8th century, just before the Ethiopian kings? 2. How is it that the artwork of the Ethiopian period is virtually identical, in most respects, to the work ...
... , until the day dawned when reports reached the Hierarchy that here lay a country of great fertility, watered by a great river, enjoying a perfect climate, and in no way seismic. An aspect of Egypt's civilization never stressed as it might be is that its antiquities are almost without exception of a religious character, including in that category pyramids and rock tombs or mastabas. Scarcely a sign that represented the secular life of cities has survived, even including foundations. It may be objected that only temples and religious edifices on which they lavished wealth and erected regardless of cost were likely to survive, yet nowhere in the world (except possibly along the coast of Peru) is ...

36. In Defence of the Gods [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... synthesising, organising side. These instructions were perceived by the bicameral man as voices of the gods. In 1983 a McMaster-Bauer Symposium [2 ] on consciousness took place in which it was decided that the lecture should be given by Julian Jaynes. During the open discussion period the following question was asked from the floor': How about the pyramids of Egypt? Surely the pharaohs who built them as their tombs were thinking ahead to their afterlife, and that would be consciousness. ' Jaynes replied as follows: "This is what is called the "presentist" fallacy. You are phrasing the situation as if ancient Egyptians were like ourselves. They were not. The pharaohs of ...
37. You too can in the Yucatan [Journals] [Horus]
... students, and general public. In the Fall we are planning another EduTour to the southern climate and seashores of the Yucatan peninsula. [Now is the time for readers to consider the tour because of the advanced planning time required.] We fly first to the city of Merida, capital of the Yucatan, this Mexican land of ancient pyramids and temples. We will stay at the Hotel Colon, a pleasant old hotel with marble floors and columns, brightly colored ceramic tiles and grand piano-bar in the lobby. The hotel staff makes guests feet at home with polite, pleasant, and good service at the outdoor pool and gardens, the suana and steam-bath rooms, and at ...
... costumes of the figures change from the previous motive. Egyptian influence is evident on the seals, as also in other art of the Achaemenian era. SELEUCID OR PARTHIAN SEALS I venture to assign to the Seleucid or Parthian period only one piece in this collection, namely No. 626. Its Greek motive is rather barbarically engraved on a convexly pyramidal seal, a form derived from Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian forms. In addition to (this piece, of course, many of the so-called Assyrian or Neo-Babylonian stamp seals, as well as a number of seals classified usually as Sassanian may belong to this period. In this period a small seal stone set in a ring, like the Greek ...
39. Chapter 4 Scientific ? Radiocarbon Dating [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... there is "fair agreement between our radiocarbon dates and [conventionally accepted] historical dates for the Middle Kingdom. . . . [But when they] sampled the Middle Kingdom of Dynasty 12 pharaohs Amenemhet I, Senwosret II and Amenemhet III [they found that] two samples from mud brick and mud layers on the ruined core of the pyramid of Amenemhet I produced dates more than 800 years younger than the end of his reign in 1962 B.C ." 5 Amenemhet I was the first pharaoh of the 12th Dynasty. If we place him where the radiocarbon date fixes him over 800 years or more closer to the present then his reign may have actually begun around 1150 ...
... say, the whole number of the buildings in stone, as yet known and examined, which were erected on both sides of the river by Egyptian and Ethiopian kings, furnish incontrovertible proof that the long series of temples, cities, sepulchres and monuments in general, exhibit a distinct chronological order, of which the starting-point is found in the pyramids, at the apes of the Delta." It must be emphatically stated that the results obtained from these monuments, studying them from the astronomical point of view, lead to a very different conclusion. Instead of one series, there are distinctly two (leaving out of consideration the great pyramid builders at Gîzeh) absolutely dissimilar astronomically, ...
