... person to examine in detail Velikovsky's suggestion that the Conquest took place at the end of the Middle Bronze Age in Palestine. Since then, John has worked on both the patriarchal period and the period following the Conquest, and today he is giving us a talk on the finds in the Arabah, it is basically about the conflict between the Syrian and Egyptian chronologies." John Bimson: "The title is a bit daunting, "Reassessing the Date of Copper Mines in the Arabah". The inspiration initially came from two articles that Dr. Eva Danelius wrote in 1976 which appeared in Kronos, where she highlighted a major disagreement among archaeologists over the date of copper mines in ...
... the true meaning of the signs in Ramessid times. And it may be gathered from this that the calendar was reorganised [2 ] when the Sinus worship came in, and that the change effected in 619 B.C . brought the hieroglyphic signs back to their natural meaning and first use. Pre-Sirian Teci Sirian 3192 B.C . Syrian and Pre-Syrian Tetramene-Signs The whole story of calendar revision may, therefore, possibly have been as follows: - - The revision of 618 B.C . was not universally accepted, so from that time onward there was. an old and a new style in force. Before I pass on, it may be convenient, in connection ...
193. Introgenesis (Immanuel Velikovsky's Jewish Science) [Books]
... was not the root cause of anti-Semitism: It was fear and resentment that "the great catastrophe of tribulations, destructions and paroxysms of nature was caused for the benefit of the sons of Israel." (15) Through an imaginative use of philology Freud also made much of his identification of Aten (in Egyptian) with Adonis (in Syrian) and Adonai (in Hebrew). (16) Velikovsky's comprehensive uses of phonetic similarity are legion; for instance he compared the Maruts (" the terrible ones") in the Vedas with the terrible one (" Aziz") in Joel and Isaiah, and then associated them both with Mars of the Romans and Ares of ...
194. Some Notes on the "Assuruballit Problem" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... relieve the problem - there must have been another Assuruballit in the mid-9th century who wrote to Akhnaton. Velikovsky stressed this point in a letter to Professor SAMUEL MERCER, author of an English edition of the el-Amarna letters, as long ago as 1947. He has also considered the possibility that Assuruballit was not a king of Assyria, but a Syrian ruler, perhaps an Assyrian governor of Carchemish, albeit one not mentioned in the contemporary records [14]. Such a solution would have to explain the usual reading "King of Assyria" in EA 15 and 16 [15], and how, "within the ethics of that day", an Assyrian governor could write to ...
195. Ark Myths (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... It was fifteen stadia (1 ¾ miles) long and two stadia (400 yards) broad. Evidently this leviathan among the arks was not considered absolutely safe, for though it was crammed with valuable things the most priceless of all treasures, the sacred writings, were not stowed in it, but buried at Sippara. In the North Syrian deluge myth Xisuthros appears under the name of Sisythes. Of the deluge myths of the Aryan peoples, only very few feature the ark motif. The most famous myth is probably the Greek story of the escape of Deukalion and Pyrrha in an ark, as told by Apollodorus. An echo of a Greek ark myth is also to be ...
196. Chaos and Creation [Books] [de Grazia books]
... in saying the name came from the word venire (to come)[18]. For that matter the Greeks, after calling the planet Hesperos (evening star) and Phosphoros (morning star), came to call it Aphrodite. But in one of its first known usages, Plato says that the name Aphrodite came from "a Syrian lawgiver," a male, when he ascribes it to planet Venus [19]. Whence Aphrodite, goddess of love and of the Moon, became goddess of love, and the planet Venus. THE PLOT OF THE ILIAD In my view Aphrodite became the planet Venus to the Greeks only after the reality of the catastrophic period was ...
197. Spectres [Books] [de Grazia books]
... drinking up the rivers of China but succumbed finally of thirst. Cardona identifies the myth with the Phaeton myth and episode. Phaeton, eager to drive the Sun's chariot, did so incompetently. Legends recite that he came so close to Earth that the rivers of Asia, Africa and Europe dried up. Strabo's Geography mentions the terror of the Syrians and Aramaeans at the sight of Typhon, probably the same as Phaeton [6 ]. That the myth of Phaeton describes a shifting of heavenly bodies, we know from Plato. That Phaeton was a comet, or a blazing star, ' we know from Cicero. That this blazing star' became a planet, we know from ...
198. Philologos | The Legends of the Jews: Volume IV [Books]
... most notable is his war with Shobach the Aramean, whom he conquered in spite of his gigantic size and strength. Shobach was very tall, as tall as a dove-cote, and one look at him sufficed to strike terror to the heart of the beholder. (56) The Aramean general indulged in the belief that David would treat the Syrians gently on account of the monument, still in existence at that time, which Jacob and Laban had erected on the frontier between Palestine and Aram as a sign of their covenant that neither they nor their descendants should wage war with each other. But David destroyed the monument. (57) Similarly, the Philistines had placed trust in ...
199. The Military Strategy of Sheshonq/Shishak in Palestine [Journals] [SIS Review]
... this list is unique, and it has to do with its geographical focus. Earlier pharaohs were much more interested in Syria than Palestine which was, in their view, little more than a highway to pass through on their way north for richer prizes. This list, on the other hand, is exclusively concerned with Palestine. Not one Syrian toponym occurs in it. Quite clearly Sheshonq had very different interests from the earlier Egyptian conquerors in Western Asia. A good reason for this is the political explanation that two rather potent individual states had arisen in this area - Israel and Judah - in contrast to the scattered and loose affiliation of the city-states of Canaan that occupied this territory ...
200. Philologos | The Legends of the Jews: Volume IV [Books]
... two hundred and fifty-two years it did not leave off seething and pulsating, until, finally, Nebuzaradan, captain of Nebuchadnezzar's guard, ordered a great carnage among the Judeans, to avenge the death of Zechariah. (15) Joash himself, the murderer of Zechariah, met with an evil end. He fell into the hands of the Syrians, and they abused him in their barbarous, immoral way. Before he could recover from the suffering inflicted upon him, his servants slew him. (16) Amaziah, the son and successor of Joash, in many respects resembled his father. At the beginning of his reign he was God-fearing, but when, through the aid ...
