... of an Egyptian army on Israel's border might give rise to considerable alarm (besides threatening to cut off supplies from Hiram of Tyre). Our reinterpretation involves an alliance between Israel and Egypt from the times of Saul to Solomon. Tuthmose III broke this alliance. Egypt and Israel conducted joint campaigns against the Amelekites, Philistines, and probably the Syrian cities. Possibly Egypt was the stronger party in Tuthmose I's time: certainly this ascendancy had been lost by the time of Hatshepsut: it was regained by Tuthmose III. R. M. Amelan, Manchester & B. O'Gheoghan, Esher Eclipse Neurosis?Dear Sir, It has always been a mystery to me why people, when ...
122. Some Notes on the Revised Chronology (part one) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... also appears to have been an alternative name for the Mitannian monarchy (which Velikovsky locates in northern Media) - there are instant problems. Such a late reference to this kingdom (also referred to by Ashuruballit) and its transit location are problems for which Velikovsky has yet to provide answers. As it would appear most unlikely that an independent Syrian kingdom existed in the post-Assyrian era, then the treaties of both Hattusilis and his son Tudhaliyas IV (who notes that the kings of Assyria and Babylonia were his equal) with the king of Amurru would appear out of place. A series of chronological data exists that enables us to link the rulers of Amurru with kings of Ugarit and ...
123. The Two Jehorams [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Biblical account of the battle of Ramoth-Gilead that Velikovsky points to. I Kings 22:34 simply describes the wounding of Ahab and his request to be withdrawn from the front line of battle; this is in no way contradicted by the following statement that "the battle increased that day and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even .. ." Nor is there any contradiction between I Kings 21 and 22 such as Velikovsky has argued: "Ahab humbled himself and the misfortune fated for his lifetime was postponed to the next generation." Elijah the Tishbite had given the word of the lord that ". .. in his son's ...
124. Appendices [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... as "ship'. There are apparently two meanings for the word since sometimes these ships travel overland and enter into conspiracies with people. With only one translation, some places that never dreamed of being a port are said to have ships going there. Velikovsky suggested that Elippe came from the Hebrew word ilpha, which was derived from a Syrian word meaning ship, and the Hebrew word aluph meaning clan leader, family leader, or prince. The elippe that float and carry cargo and people were ships and the elippe that dabbled in the affairs of men are possibly chieftains. if so, it would also explain some apparent exaggerations in the Hebrew record. For example, since ...
125. Matters Arising [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... in Egypt with the cult of the sacred mouse were sacred cities of thunderbolts and meteorites and that one of these was Leto olis.(11) B. Newgrosh has written in to indicate that Apollo was equated with the Phoenician god Resheph, a god of lightning and war,(12) but who was not equivalent to either the Syrian Hadad/Adad or the Hittite Teshub. In Early Bronze Age Ebla this deity was called Rashap and was known as a god of pestilence (cf. Velikovsky on Mars) and war, and was quite a separate entity from Sipish, the sun deity.(13) He noted that at about the same time, Nergal was ...
126. The Birth of Vahagn: An Armenian Vision of Celestial Catastrophe? [Journals] [Kronos]
... James, "Aphrodite - The Moon or Venus?" Society for Interdisciplinary Studies Review, London, Vol. 1, No. 1, 1976). 13. The name Astghik means "little star" in Armenian and as Hoffman (cited by Ananikian, P. 39) notes, this can only be a translation of the Syrian Kaukabhta, a later designation for Astarte in her capacities as both a goddess and the planet Venus. In the Armenian version of the Bible (fifth century), Vahagn's name is also used to translate that of Herakles (11 Maccabees iv. 19). He is also held by some to have been a sun god, however ...
127. Magi, The Quest for a Secret Tradition by Adrian Gilbert [Journals] [SIS Review]
... In Appendix 3 Abraham's origins are questioned. After discussing Woolley's work in some detail, he concludes that Ur is to be found in northern, rather than in southern Mesopotamia (Sumeria): Professor Segal...in a footnote in his Edessa, The Blessed City' [5 ], quotes a Jacobite Metropolitan, called Michael the Syrian - a friend of Zengi, who conquered Edessa in 1044 AD. Michael apparently says that the name Orhay' is derived from Ur', meaning town', and hay' meaning of the Chaldeans', this latter epithet because it was they who populated it. The name Chaldini is what the people of Urartu, i. ...
128. The Sulman Temple in Jerusalem [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of course, may only be a temple." (S . A. Mercer: The Tell el-Amarna Tablets, Toronto, 1939, Vol. I, p. 274.) Ed.] The idea that the reference in EA74 to Beth-Ninurta or Beth-Shulman is to some other place is based on the erroneous location of Sumur on the Syrian coast; in A in C it was shown that Sumur is Samaria, a short distance from Jerusalem. 6. See A in C, vi: "Jerusalem, Samaria, Jezreel". [The name of Jerusalem however, is known from other records predating the Exodus - it occurs in the Egyptian "Execration Texts" of ...
129. Three Views of Heinsohn's Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... was seen by eminent scholars like Albrecht Goetze, Benno Landsberger and Hans Guterbock as early as the 1930's. Though this observation was honestly disliked (e .g ., G. Wilhelm [1984], p. 649, n. 17) it stood the test of close scrutiny: "The seventeenth century witnessed the borrowing from a Syrian scribal center of a script more like that of the earlier Old Akkadian period than those of contemporary Assyria or Babylonia. The most important Mesopotamian elements attested in Old Hittite texts and in compositions whose originals may be postulated for this period are traditions concerning the Old Akkadian Sargonic kings, and the lost forerunner of a hymn to the Storm-god. ...

... of the Tell el Yahudiyeh type. This type so named from Sir Flinders Petrie's excavations at the site in Egypt, has also been found at Ugarit, the modern Ras Shamra, by Professor Schaeffer, in a connnection which points to a date immediately before the 15th century. That the ware was common in Syria is proved by speciments in Syrian museums' (Smith, 1941, p. 6f., emphasis added). Pre-1600 Tell al Yahudiyeh ware is of course none other than Hyksos Period ware. Also, Alalakh levels VII and VI contain a variety of wares, some imported but most of them made locally. Most of the local wares bear a marked resemblance to ...
