172. EBLA -- A New Look at History (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... known method of determining how long such changes take to occur outside of an historical chronology based upon lists and synchronisms for they may often as not (especially in the case of minor changes of ductus) reflect regional as well as different scribal hands. Archaeological sequences are also tied in the main to the lists as no site has a complete stratigraphy and the presence of missing strata is inferred from comparative stratigraphy with other sites and on the basis of historical, i.e . textual synchronization and from the above mentioned lists and their interpretation. The reading of Mesalim provided by Pettinato, but read as Barzamali by Archi, remains possible as BAR and ME appear as similar signs in ...
173. Talk by Bob Porter on Middle Assyrian History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... other stylistic changes, then 8 spokes. The chariot gets bigger and more people are portrayed riding in the chariot. These are not artistic conventions - they are real technological development. In ancient times you can largely determine what comes first by looking at the development of artistic styles. If we don't have that we have very little apart from stratigraphy. Daphne said that it's just that some people argue that artists become increasingly refined as they develop more skills but other people argue that the art becomes increasingly crude as society develops. Sometimes you start off with wonderful art and it all deteriorates and sometimes you start with very crude art and it gets better, so how do you understand ...
174. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... now scientists have discovered a new and massive disturbing effect. Where these currents are deflected westwards by the Coriolis force (a factor due to Earth's spin), frequent and massive storms' in the form of deep-sea eddies scour the floors on the western sides of the ocean basins. Huge amounts of sediment are removed and redeposited in a complex stratigraphy which is much different from its original, sedimentary form. The researchers admit that ". .. truly vast areas of ocean bottom are modified by material entrained by deep currents". So how much reliance can we now place on the evidence on the evidence of deep sea cores? Surely their stratigraphy is open to question, arguments ...
175. Cuban Prehistory [Journals] [Kronos]
... dated at 4000 B.P . The material excavated by the Cuban archaeologists, Guarch and Teourbe-Tolon, with the collaboration of Kozlowski, was dated at 5100 B.P . by the Gliwise laboratory in Poland, the oldest such sample reported for all of the Antilles. In addition, Guarch, Kozlowski, and Tabío have recently realized rigorous stratigraphic excavations at both the Funche and Levisa sites. They have remarked on the evident parallelisms between the highly developed lapidary and other stoneworking techniques characteristic of the Guayabo Blanco phase of the Ciboney culture with those of the Paleoindian peoples of the North American continent.(8 ) Printing from Cave No. 1 "Punta del Este" Isla de ...
176. Tektites, Wildfires and the Extinction of the Dinosaurs [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... by the nature of the evidence. The Berkeley palaeontologist Lowell Dingus has argued that "although catastrophic amounts of extinction might have occurred at the C-T transition, it seems unlikely that we can distinguish episodes of extinction lasting 100 years or less from episodes lasting as long as 100,000 years. Consequently, acceptance of catastrophic hypotheses based on these stratigraphic records seem improbably optimistic at this time[12]. In fact, although some groups may have died out more or less instantaneously, the extinction of other groups may have taken place over a million or more years [2 ,11,13,14]. Clearly, there is much work still to be done. References ...
177. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... record. We were fortunate that another great revisionist was able to be present and that Gunnar Heinsohn allowed himself to be prevailed upon to give a short survey of his ideas and their origins. He started by admitting that he himself was not free of a hidden agenda', in that he desired to see the ancient civilisations assessed by their stratigraphy. It did not require the Bible to give ancient Israel a heritage in the holy land; a reassessed stratigraphy would give Canaan and Israel very credible strata. Heinsohn could not believe that the historians of the last century were idiots to believe in only five major ancient empires; this had led to his ideas on the more recent duplication ...
178. Challenges to Evolutionary Gradualism [Books]
... phenomena. The other has, of course, envisaged mass extinctions as caused by real environmental catastrophes and it has been based on a more literal reading of the fossil record. The contrast between these two interpretations has largely shaped the history of debate about mass extinctions, but it has always hinged on divergent views on the precision and reliability of stratigraphic correlation among very distant areas" [24]. Thus, for example, in the 1920s, H. T. Marshall and E. Hennig regarded the mass extinctions at the end of the Cretaceous Period as being the result of a genuine catastrophe, perhaps a burst of cosmic radiation, whereas M. V. Pavlova and D ...
179. The Two Sargons and Their Successors (Part II) [Journals] [Aeon]
... Akkadian remains are scarce- not nonexistent- but only when compared to the remains of other Mesopotamian periods. There are various reasons for this scarcity which, incidentally, is not unique to the Akkadian period. (Until the recent discoveries at Tell el Dab'a, the Hyksos period in Egypt, in which even Heinsohn believes, was bereft of stratigraphical evidence. No Hyksosian monuments were known). Not least of the considerations concerning Mesopotamian archaeology are the vicissitudes of history itself, with so much wholesale destruction and energetic rebuilding by various rulers- something that Heinsohn belittles. One must remember that the conquerors of antiquity often razed the cities they vanquished right to the ground and, in some ...
180. The Hyksos Were Not Assyrians [Journals] [Aeon]
... , or "evening star" who builds a splendid temple in Zoan, is Solomon, or Shlomo, the setting sun, who builds the Temple in Jerusalem. One could go on. My point here is to note that, by contrast, Heinsohn finds no cross-checks, but innumerable contradictions, between Israelites and Assyrians. 18) The stratigraphy of Ai Heinsohn includes validates my stratigraphy, and that of other "Early Bronze Exodus" analysts, admirably, without having to fall back on Heinsohn's "ghost strata"- a theory I have attacked before. Heinsohn admits advanced settlement to the end of the Early Bronze at et-Tell (Ai), and notes it starts again in ...
