... From: The Velikovskian Vol 2 No 4 (1994) Home | Issue Contents A Lowered Chronology for the Twelfth Dynasty Lynn E Rose The purpose of this paper is simply to call the reader's attention to some unexpected, but very important, developments that have come about in connection with my work on the calendars of Hellenistic and Roman Egypt. Any detailed argument will have to be deferred to other occasions. I have found that the El-Lahun papyri contain very strong evidence that the Twelfth Dynasty needs to be lowered by a full Sothic period. Thus, the so-called Middle Kingdom (of which the Twelfth Dynasty is the concluding part) belongs right smack in the middle of the first ...
342. In Defence of Higher Chronologies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 5th centuries. Even if they did take liberties with their lists and dates, the ancients may well have had a rough handle on the epoch that drew their attention. There is a strong convergence on Velikovsky's century of perturbations': from the Greeks, we have the start of the Olympic Era in -775 [32]; from the Romans, we have the Founding of Rome in -752; from the Babylonians and others, we have the start of the Era of Nabonassar in -746; from Egypt, both the report of heaven not devouring the Moon' under Takelot II or Shoshenq III and the report of the severe and unseasonable flood under Osorkon (either II or III ...
343. Letter to the Editor from Christoph Marx [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... : During a course on Assyrian and Babylonian Chronology1 I took a closer look at this fact: that most of the chronologies around the Mars catastrophes have been linked to the date of 15/6 /763 B.C ., the day of a solar eclipse mentioned in the eponym lists. These again have been linked to Greek and Roman chronology by way of the Ptolemaic Canon of Babylonian kings, "the correctness of .which is proved by the lunar eclipses mentioned in the Almagest,"2 and through the Babylonian king list A with three rulers being kings of Babylonia and Assyria at the same time. Three lunar eclipses are given for the years 721 and 720. ...
344. A Hypothetical Ancient Telescope [Journals] [Horus]
... " actually being rediscoveries of ancient knowledge. Electroplating, mechanical clocks, steam engines, concentrating mirrors, and the circumnavigation of Africa are certain and sure examples. Since less than ten percent of the writings of the ancient world survive, it is likely there are many more examples of lost discoveries. Archaeological evidence from Pompeii shows that the ancient Romans used water-filled glass globes to magnify words on manuscripts. Later, and independently, the tailors and seamstresses of the Pennsylvania Harmonite Society discovered the uses of glass globes as lenses when these glass globes were filled with water, circa 1845. It's likely that the magnification abilities of glass globes filled with water have been discovered many times in the ...

346. The Atlantis Researches by Paul Dunbavin (Book review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... – especially as far as the geology of NW Europe is concerned. It has extensive material on the drowning of the continental shelf around Britain and the origin of the North Sea. It places these events in perspective and it seems there is little likelihood that for instance, the Scillies could have been a single large island as late as the Roman era. He hardly mentions The Wash' – or recent geological events. Presumably he assumes the conventional position is unchallengeable as he brings the earth into equilibrium in the first millennium BC. Dunbavin's bibliography is interesting and includes, naturally, Clube and Napier's work, that of Mike Baillie, Barbara Bell (climate), Aubrey Burl ( ...
347. Comets, Polular Culture, and the Birth of Modern Cosmology [Journals] [Aeon]
... 1997) Reviewed by Ev Cochrane Few things in life are as memorable and charged with unconscious emotion as the appearance of a brilliant comet. From time immemorial, comets have inspired dread and been associated with ominous portents. Ancient Babylonian astronomical texts link comets to the death of kings and other calamities. Similar views were common among the Greeks and Romans. Of a comet that appeared during Nero's reign, Tacitus wrote as follows: "A comet blazed into view- in the opinion of the crowd, an apparition boding change to monarchies. Hence, as though Nero were already dethroned, men began to inquire on whom the next choice should fall." [8 ] In order ...
348. The Future of the Past, and, Atlas of Ancient History (Book reviews) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in the 21st Century Phoenix, 2001. (Translation by S. Dunlop of geo-archaeologist Eberhard Zangger's 1998 book), and Atlas of Ancient History, by Colin McEvedy. Penguin 2002. After 35 years, Penguin has issued a revised edition of Colin McEvedy's book – a work with an uncharacteristically high number of errors. For example, a Roman census is reported for 1526, and the whole of Ireland vanishes from the map sometime between 12500 and 5500 BC – but it is an essential reference book for pre-fourth century AD Europe. The book approaches its subject with a refreshing amount of scepticism, the author rejecting the description of the independent classical Greek entities as city states', ...
349. John Bossy, "Giordano Bruno and the Embassy Affair" [Journals] [Aeon]
... and the Embassy Affair (Yale Univ. Press: New Haven) 1991 Reviewed by Frederic Jueneman (c ) 1994 by Frederic Jueneman Europe in the 16th century was in turmoil. All the kings and princes of the European great houses were vying for the power and the glory either in being or else of becoming the eponym of the Holy Roman Empire. Except for recidivist-corrupted England. Except for reformation-perverted Germany. Except for apostatic-uncultured Scandinavia. These had their own contentious agendas in the world of political power and influence. The infamous Thirty Years War (1618-1648) between Catholic and Protestant principalities had not yet begun during the course of this tale, but all the seeds of this abominable ...
350. The Year Of 360 Days, Part 2 Mars Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... obsolete calendar, a fact for which we have the testimony of Hippocrates (" Seven years contain 360 weeks"), Xenophon, Aristotle, and Pliny.37 The persistence of reckoning by 360 days is accounted for not only by a certain reverence for the earlier astronomical year, but al so its convenience for every computation. The ancient Romans also reckoned 360 days to the year. Plutarch wrote in his "Life of Numa" that in the time of Romulus, in the eighth century, the Romans had a year of 360 days only.38 Various Latin authors say that the ancient month was composed of th irty days.39 On the other side of the ocean ...
