... an admirably full account of the excavations up to and including the 1976 season (the book was first published in Italian in 1977), but also a history of archaeology in Syria from the beginning of the century to the present day (tracing the recovery of the "Neo-Hittite" culture of the 1st millennium BC, the Old and Middle Syrian cultures of the 2nd millennium, and the Protosyrian urban cultures of the 4th-3rd millennia), and an account of surveys of Tell Mardikh prior to the first excavations in 1964. Thus the excavations are placed firmly in their context. The identification of Tell Mardikh with ancient Ebla was first suspected in 1968, when a fragment of a statue ...
22. The Sea Peoples and the Philistines [Articles]
... exclusive to the Philistine pentapolis, are common to the excavated sites in Philistia. These elements are what we usually think of as being Aegean. That is, although it is very difficult to quantify, the material culture of the Philistines seems to show more Aegean, more Mycenaean elements, than those, say, of the Israelites or the Syrians or the Phoenicians. Bearing in mind this archaeological, rather Mycenaean flavour to Philistine culture and the "foreignness" of the Philistines as insisted on in the Bible, where did the Philistines come from and when? As I say, the conventional explanation is that they arrived in 1200 BC, towards the beginning of the Judges period in ...
23. Forum: The 900-700 BC era - a Conundrum C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... both Assyrian and Egyptian histories as presently taught. Can anybody find a more decisive way of clinching the proposition that Assuruballit and Shalmaneser III were one and the same? Could it be that assembling an Assyrian king list from disconnected scraps of record has resulted in accidental duplication of a key sequence of reigns? Could individuals have had local Palestinian/Syrian names (Ben-Hadad, Hazael, Shalmaneser) but more international Amarna/Egyptian names (Abdi-Ashirta, Aziru, Assuruballit)? On what foundation, if any, does the conventional dating of the Egyptian Third Intermediate Period rest? References 1. Dates quoted here for Judah and Israel are all as presented in the table on p. 31 ...
24. In Search of the Exodus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Byblos, in an Ur III text, and such links have been confirmed in princes' tombs discovered at Byblos displaying Ur III influence- artifacts, pottery, inscriptions. These immediately precede Dynasty XII contacts with Byblos. [70] In the reign of Shu Sin a wall was said to have been built to contain Bedouin intrusions from the Syrian Steppe; it was 170 miles in length. A similar wall, or a string of fortresses, was built along the borders of Egypt with Sinai, again to contain Bedouin intrusions. In the Prophecy of Neferty the defenses were constructed during the reign of Amenemhat I, founder of Dynasty XII. In southern Mesopotamia during the reign of ...
25. Hittites, Phrygians, and Others [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... political control over Assyria. But a paradox exists. Hittite texts repeatedly refer to a hostile state, a vassal of Mitanni yet able to act independently, it would seem, given as Ash-tata-which we may recognize as the kingdom of Ash-shur- the Assyrians. Ash-tata attacked Hittite Syria in the reign of Hattusilis II and was again active in the Syrian wars of Suppiluliumas and Mursilis II, and at the very time of those obscure governors of the Adasi line. Either the king list fails to record some otherwise unknown Assyrian conquerors or the line of accession at this point has been duplicated, but masked by the king list format. Precisely where such a duplication could be posited is not ...
26. Paired Sets in the Hebrew Alphabet [Journals] [Aeon]
... learn," "study," and limmedh, " to teach", " train" (cf. Assyrian lamadu, "to learn"), and "the idea is that learning is generally accomplished under compulsion." (26) It is possible to see "learning" as metaphorically "seeing the light," and Syrian Arabic lama', "to shine," "gleam," distinctly implies "light." Greek lampein, "to shine," appears to be related to the Arabic word, perhaps through diffusion, and it even more closely approximates Syrian Arabic lamba, "lamp," " light" (singular form) and lambaat ...
27. The Great Kingship of the Medes [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... co-regency would solve another problem. In the Amarna documents the only king of Assyria mentioned is Ashuruballit, whom we take to be the alter-ego of Ashurnasirpal. Yet some of the characters and events described in these correspondences clearly belong to the time of Shalmaneser III, as Velikovsky proved in some detail. Thus the various wars between the Amurru (Syrian) king Abdi-Ashirta and Rib-Addi the king of Sumur (Samaria) can only describe the wars between Ben Hadad of Syria and Ahab of Israel. Both these characters occur in the early records of Shalmaneser III. Furthermore, the commander Biridri, who led a coalition of Syrian and Palestinian princes against Shalmaneser in his fifth year and again in ...
... these cities, the nation of the Jews made an insurrection against him at a festival; for at those feasts seditions are generally begun; and it looked as if he should not be able to escape the plot they had laid for him, had not his foreign auxiliaries, the Pisidians and Cilicians, assisted him; for as to the Syrians, he never admitted them among his mercenary troops, on account of their innate enmity against the Jewish nation. And when he had slain more than six thousand of the rebels, he made an incursion into Arabia; and when he had taken that country, together with the Gileadires and Moabites, he enjoined them to pay him tribute ...
29. The Danunians and the Velikovsky Revision [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... not changed for half a millennium. He writes: "Thus, the information about Dunanat-Dunanapa fully harmonizes with what we have said above on the geopolitical and cultural attitude of Eastern Cilicia- her face toward Syria, her back toward Anatolia. According to the testimony of Akizzi, Dunanat was hostile to the Hittites, and an ally of the Syrian Semitic states. The Hittite evocation of the Cedar-gods excludes Dunanapa from the complex of the Anatolian countries and includes her on the group of Syrian states. In the same way the above quoted Egyptian sources classify Qode: reckoning her among the Syrian territories and stating that as early as the first half of the XVth century she had been politically ...
30. Ebla and Near East Chronology Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... in the ruins of the great and prosperous temple of Ishtar the succeeding level has revealed only the remains of hovels.[17] While it is probably only coincidental that the name Guti has a resemblance to the Goths (and they are separated by some 2000 years), evidence for a northern nomadic element has been discerned in the corresponding Syrian levels, i.e . Ugarit moyen II:I .[ 18J We may imagine an influx into Mesopotamia of a somewhat motley mixture of peoples, including Hurrians from Anatolia in the wake of the EB 3 catastrophe. Early Transcaucasus III (Kura-Arax) sites (with Akkadian commercial affiliations) were likewise destroyed and abandoned, and the ...
