... who established this settlement was God, and that it was by the means of Moses, and of his virtue; but as to these matters, let every one take them as he thinks fit. ENDNOTE (1 ) Dr. Bernard takes notice here, that this place Mar, where the waters were bitter, is called by the Syrians and Arabians Mariri, and by the Syrians sometimes Morath, all derived from the Hebrew Mar. He also takes notice, that it is called The Bitter Fountain by Pliny himself; which waters remain there to this day, and are still bitter, as Thevenot assures us and that there are also abundance of palm-trees. See his Travels ...

... and reached to the Indian Ocean. For Elam left behind him the Elamites, the ancestors of the Persians. Ashur lived at the city Nineve; and named his subjects Assyrians, who became the most fortunate nation, beyond others. Arphaxad named the Arphaxadites, who are now called Chaldeans. Aram had the Aramites, which the Greeks called Syrians; as Laud founded the Laudites, which are now called Lydians. Of the four sons of Aram, Uz founded Trachonitis and Damascus: this country lies between Palestine and Celesyria. Ul founded Armenia; and Gather the Bactrians; and Mesa the Mesaneans; it is now called Charax Spasini. Sala was the son of Arphaxad; and ...
183. The Sacred Theory of the Earth by Dr. Thomas Burnet [Books]
... Earths he more than once distinguish as, very different from one anther, (11)(11. Cont, Marc. lib. 2. c. .2 . c. 5.) The most ancient author that I know upon this subject, at least of those that writ of it literally, is Moses Bar Cepba a Syrian Bishop, who liv'd about 700 years since, and his book is translated into Latin by that learned and judicious man Adreas Masius. Bar Cepba writes upon the same views of Paradise that we have here presented, that it was beyond the ocean, in another tract of land; or another continent from that which we inhabit: As ...

185. The Art Of Warfare. Part I Ch.3 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... having been fought by the last generation of the Hellenes, whose leader, Agamemnon, son of Atreus, was king of Mycenae. To support the identification of Denien with Mycenaean Greeks, it was argued that Denien (Dnn) stands for Danaans (a Homeric term for archaic Greeks). Some texts, however, connect them with the Syrian coast, and others with Cyprus. I, however, lean towards identifying the "Peoples of the Isles", the Denien, with the Athenians, since d and t in Egyptian are one and the same letter. The expression "Peoples of the Isles" also points to the Aegean area, and in a broader sense it ...

... much of the material was first written. The present article has benefited from the editorial assistance of Jan Sammer who, unless otherwise indicated, added the bracketed referential material and fine-tuned the text.- LMG THE AGE OF THE DEAD SEA "With the end of the Tertiary period, in an event of extreme violence . . . the entire Syrian land, from its south end to its north end, was torn apart and the ground in between sank into the depths." So wrote Professor M. Blanckenhorn, the explorer of the region of the Dead Sea.(1 ) In his later work he advanced the age of the rift to the pluvial, or the beginning ...

... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1992 No 1 (Aug 1992) Home | Issue Contents Letters Alalakh, Heinsohn and Pottery Dear Sir, Alalakh (Tell Achana) is an important ancient city mound near the Orontes river on the Syrian/Turkish border. It is in the Levant with its links to Egypt, but is also close to northern Mesopotamia and Anatolia. It was the subject of a major excavation by Sir Leonard Woolley and clay tablet archives were found in Stratum VII, relating to Hammurabi's time, and in the later Stratum IV from the time of Sausatar of Mittani. Woolley also documented the pottery and it is this which concerns us here. Gunnar Heinsohn's ...

... Mistress of Cusae - was considered by the Greeks of Hellenistic times to be the equivalent of Aphrodite Urania, a goddess with an epithet not claimed by any other Greek goddess.(33) But Aphrodite Urania was also the name of a "meteor" goddess of Aphaca at Byblos in Syria, (34) a goddess identical to the Syrian Attart (Astart-Astarte), who was merged with the goddess Anath and became Atargatis before the time of Israel's prophets.(35) According to an ancient source, a "meteor" was expected on a certain day of the year - and this celestial appearance was supposed to have been the goddess herself - which was to plunge from ...

... .C .) , according to 2 Kings 1.6 :1 . While Jotham had strengthened the nation and defeated the Ammonites in war (2 Chronicles 27), foolish king Ahaz was defeated by Pekah king of Israel and Rezin king of Syria as well as Philistine invaders (2 Chronicles 28). Ahaz superstitiously sacrificed to the Syrian gods, among others. Isaiah had prophesied to Ahaz that he should not fear either Syria or Ephraim; he was told that within 65 years Ephraim would cease to be an organized nation (Isaiah 7:1-9). This prophecy certainly points to a time (c . 670 B.C .) long after Israel had been ...
190. Dating the Amarna Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the result is compelling: 1). Given the pre-Amarna conquest of Jerusalem by Thutmose III, it is natural to expect this to be reflected in the tone of letters to Egypt by Israelite rulers and dignitaries which is evidenced by their being signed thy servant'. 2). The language is almost invariably Akkadian with many words in a Syrian dialect similar to Hebrew. 3). In the tablets written by the vassal king of Jerusalem mention is made of the Habiru threat from the east of the Jordan - which is a direction inapplicable to the Rohl/Newgrosh contention that the Habiru were more applicable to the Davidic outlawry. 4). Urusalim of the Amarna letters was ...
