... of Assyrian history must be made to square with the history of the Near East as revealed in the Amarna letters, the documents of Boghaz-koi, and the various monuments of the 19th Dynasty. We are therefore involved in a double adjustment of ancient chronology. The Late Bronze Age, contemporary with New Kingdom Egypt and dated in accordance with Egyptian Sothic chronology, must be brought forward by five centuries or so, to bring it in line with the early Iron Age, contemporary with the Neo-Assyrian kingdom, which was dated in accordance with Biblical chronology. But this chronology is also unnaturally lengthened, and it too must be brought forward by two centuries, to make it contemporary with the ...
172. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the present writer would). The Egyptian TIP section begins with a strong attack on the length of the 21st Dynasty, proposing to reduce its independent reign from 125 years to just 25. The causes of the over-extended conventional 125 years are the interpretation of Manetho's dynasties as non-overlapping and the need to fill up the length of time created by Sothic dating. Reference is occasionally made to James & Morkot forthcoming' (when? where?) which may give further information on their Fig. 7.3 showing some TIP genealogies. Parts of three genealogies are shown side by side: the Memphite Priest List, the 22nd Dynasty kings and the Neseramun family, giving a sequence of ...
173. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... at Velikovsky's original motives for undertaking his chronological revision. He was challenging Freud's thesis in Moses and Monotheism', which claimed Moses was an Egyptian, probably of noble birth, whom the myth undertakes to transform into a Jew: i.e . Moses was an Egyptian and monotheism was an Egyptian invention which Moses introduced to the Jews. Sothic dating put Akhenaten into c. 16th-15th century, which corresponds approximately with Biblical chronology, but in this era Egyptian history yields no trace of the most important Biblical characters and events. However, Velikovsky's historical perspective has allowed revisionists, and some conventional scholars, to identify the Israelites of the Exodus as people of the MB1 age. He ...
174. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (conventionally Shoshenq I and Osorkon I but in my opinion Shoshenq IV and Osorkon III). The particular dates which Dodson arrives at are limited by a lunar date in Ramesses II's reign which gives the following possible dates for his accession: 1279 BC (conventional low' date), 1265, 1254, 1240, 1229 etc. Unlike Sothic dating, the validity of this lunar date is accepted by many revisionists but with possibilities running at about eight per century it is only useful for fine adjustments. Dodson rejects Hagens'; proposal for shortening the 21st Dynasty (p . 13, and see C&CR 1997:1 p. 37) but he is considering Thijs ...
175. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... learned from the history of Near Eastern Studies" and the words of the Egyptologist Sir Alan Gardiner, who frankly stated that "what is proudly advertised as Egyptian history is merely a collection of rags and tatters". As Velikovsky has shown, the reliability of a history built up on the writings of Manetho and supposedly bolstered by the fallacious Sothic theory is questionable in the extreme. Then followed an examination of the problem in the archaeology of the Aegean, Palestine and the Hittite Empire, to which could have been added Cyprus, Phoenicia and Syria, Mesopotamia and others - "In every area the same conflicts are found between divergent dating systems some five hundred years apart, the ...

... comets such as Halley's, though they may take shapes of somewhat similar aspect with hairy appendages or tails. Moreover, unlike your classic long period comet, because of their proximity and energy, these plasmoids may not be totally benign. Lynn E. Rose: Sirius and Saturn A more careful reading of the Canopus Decree enables us to retrocalculate Sothic dates much more precisely than ever before. Middle Kingdom lunar documents fail to fit in the second millennium. But they do fit in the fourth century, with the IIII prt 16 heliacal rising of Sirius in -394. My "modified-Philolaos" model (Lynn E. Rose, "Variations on a Theme of Philolaos", Kronos V ...
177. Sagan's Folly Part 1 [Journals] [Kronos]
... This is a loaded statement that is actually a two-edged sword. In his attempt to discredit Velikovsky's interpretation of past "aberrant calendrical conventions", Sagan brings himself into direct conflict with the megalithic interpretations of Thom and Hawkins, uniformitarian readings of the so-called "Venus Tablets of Ammizaduga", and runs head-on into Egyptological supporters of the so-called "Sothic period" --the very foundation stone of ancient history's chronological edifice. Sagan (p . 14): Sagan commits a non sequitur. After referring to Leach, "an expert on early time-reckoning," Sagan says the following: "In ancient cultures the first eight or ten months of the year are named, but the last few ...
178. Assuruballit [Journals] [Kronos]
... article indicates 1356 for the accession of Assuruballit I. . . . Egyptologists believe that the lowest possible date for the death of Akhnaton is 1358. . . a discrepancy of only two years may not seem very significant. But closer examination reveals that the discrepancy is considerably greater . . . Moreover if the Menophres theory is accepted that the Sothic cycle began in the first year of Seti I, the date 1358 for the death of Akhnaton does not allow for a sufficient interval between Akhnaton and Seti.... But if this discrepancy is a matter of ten years or more we are no longer entitled to regard it as insignificant.(10) The difference in years ...
179. A Test of Time: Volume I the Bible - From Myth to History by David M. Rohl [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Dynasties and early Iron Age). Part Four, Discovering the Israelites', deals with the time of the patriarchs Joseph, Moses and Joshua, which is synchronised with the Twelfth and Thirteenth Dynasties and the Middle Bronze Age. Part Five consists of five appendices, which cover the dating of Shoshenq I; TIP genealogies; radiocarbon dating; Sothic dating; and Assyrian chronology. Rohl bases his chronological revision on the study of two of the key periods in Egyptian and biblical history. The earlier is the Israelite sojourn and bondage in Egypt, the Exodus and the conquest of Canaan, which he synchronises with the Egyptian Middle Kingdom and Second Intermediate Period; the later period is the ...
... evidence so far brought forward proves that a vast and tremendous catastrophe afflicted the northern lands, not by eccentricities of ice-belts over great ages but by the act of a celestial body. I have endeavoured to show on the evidence that this upheaval shifted the axis of the earth and extended its orbit by five and a half days according to the Sothic Cycle, among its resultant effects upon civilization being a great exodus from the afflicted regions. Some examination was accorded to the cave-dwellers of the Dordogne and Biscay regions, all of whom were clearly forced into exile but whose character and the age in which they lived, have been utterly vitiated by the conclusions arrived at by archaeologists who accepted ...
