... match the original reports. Furthermore, the example quoted was of Bahrein, which is problematic because of the confusion about the name Dilmun, which he says means India. Emmet Sweeney said that in Ugarit Schaffer had found Ammenemhet after the Hyksos, making Dynasties XII and XVIII contemporary; in Ur, Woolley had found Chalcolithic pre-flood pottery similar to Syrian Early Bronze II. Gunnar said that underneath the Greek stratum is to be found: in Persepolis, Persian; in Mari, Hammurabi; in Athens, early Greek; in Tel el Daba, Ramesses III. The glass of Ramesses III had identical chemical composition to that of the Persian in Persepolis. Also mentioned was a paper by ...
222. Planets in the Bible: I -- The Cosmology of Job [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Nefilah, meaning literally "Giant", in the Aramaic Targum Jonathan (for Isaiah 13:10 and Job 9:9 ), and Gabbara, meaning "Hero", in the Peshitta (for Job 9:9 and Amos 5:8 ). It is agreed that both Nefilah and Gabbara denote Orion. The Aramaic and Syrian names of Orion have been connected with the ancient Oriental tradition that Nimrod (hero and mighty hunter: see Gen. 10:8-9) was fettered in the sky by God for his obstinacy in building the tower of Babel. According to the Babylonian Jewish scribe, doctor and astronomer Samuel (d . 257 AD), the one ...
223. The Autobiography Of Nebuchadnezzar. Ch. 5. (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... coveting the throne of the empire; apparently he was called to give an explanation in the inquiry, which seemed to have been already settled. On his march through Syria and Palestine his behaviour gave his adversaries new ground to accuse him of craving supreme power in the state. Head of the army and victor at Kadesh-Carchemish, conqueror of the Syrian and Palestinian provinces which only a few years before had been subjugated by Egypt, he seemed to have attained too much acclaim and power. But his return was necessitated by another reason too: he had to defend the Upper Land against an invasion that took place when the army moved into Syria. AUTOBIOGRAPHY SEC. Q: When Sin-Uas ...

... daughter. (The pharaoh must be Horemheb in the New Chronology.) He does something his father never did: he establishes a force of charioteers. For the first half of his reign, about 20 years, everything goes well. By the end of Solomon's reign, the kingdom is severely weakened with the loss of Edom and the Syrian lands in secessions supported by Egypt and probably the Hittites respectively. His own Israelite lands are about to revolt because of his unpopular policies (the corvee and taxation), and an Egyptian puppet ruler (Jeroboam I) is ready to seize power upon Solomon's death. The wealth and power of Solomon's kingdom had been based on trade in ...

... weighing tons. A stone structure served as a ceremonial centre. The excavators feel that the original site had religious, mythological and cosmological significance for its builders'. It has been estimated that it would have taken 250 workers five years to erect the complex [22]. To the east, about 100 kilometres southeast of Damascus in the Syrian Hauran, other stone circles dated to about the Early Bronze (EB) Age IV time period have been found, characterised by interlocking circles and a prominent central pillar. Stone circle complexes in the Jebel Bishri area (200 kilometres to the northeast of Damascus) are also said to possibly represent the EB IV period [23]. ...

... the later Christian term of contempt-gives Harmonia as mother of all things, the weaving of the Cosmic peplos or garment, an idea he may have taken from Pherecydes of Syros who took from Phoenician books the cosmic veil which Zeus (flung over the winged-oak that is the Universe-tree. Pausanias said (ii, 1, 7) that at the Syrian Gabala-clearly a holy mountain name-there was preserved in the temple of Doto a sacred peplos, symbolical image of the cosmic veil. This Doto, said F. Lenormant69 is an Aramean synonym (dotho, the Law) of the Phoenician goddess Thouro (thuro = Hebrew thorah, the Law) who was also called Shusarthis ( 'husarth, ...
227. Minerals, Metals, Glazing and Man, by John Dayton, Reviewed by Geoffrey Gammon [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Mesopotamia in the early 9th century. Over the next four centuries it develops to a high technical and aesthetic standard under the Neo-Assyrian (883-612), Neo-Babylonian (625-539),and Persian (559-332 B.C .) empires. It appears that the initial stimulus came from the Phoenician cultural influence transmitted to Assyria as a result of the Syrian campaigns of Ashurnasirpal II(883-859 B.C .) . The chronological pattern emerging from Dayton's researches, therefore, is as follows. First, allowing that metallurgy and glazing originated in Europe and entered the Near East early in the Middle Bronze Age, the examples of faience attributed to the Early Bronze Age, in contexts which in ...
228. An Integrated Model for an Earthwide Event at 2300 BC. Part I: The Archaeological Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Cyclades second half of the third millennium BC Syria and Palestine As in the case for the previously discussed regions, it is generally accepted that the Early Bronze III (EB III) Age in Syria and Palestine came to an end at about 2300 BC [34]. This coincides with the end of the Ancient Ugarit Period on the Syrian coast proposed by Schaeffer [35]. Syria and Palestine were largely urbanized at this time, supporting small semi-independent kingdoms. Thompson describes what he refers to as an "unprecedented expansion of population" in Palestine. "Cities of over 30 dunams (1 dunam equals 1000 square metres), with thousands of inhabitants, were found everywhere ...

... in Jerusalem and surrounded by much stronger forces, Joash paid off his adversaries with the treasures of the holy city. II Kings 13 records how Israel under Jehoahaz was delivered into the hand of Hazael, king of Syria, but then: And the Lord gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime. ' [II Kings 13:5 ] The Bible fails to record the name or nationality of this saviour' but a hint of it may be had from the unusual Hebrew word used. Could it have been Shoshenq I, who restored order in Philistia and ...

... water for him from India. (49) As the spirits were subservient to him, so also the animals. He had an eagle upon whose back he was transported to the desert and back again in one day, to build there the city called Tadmor in the Bible (50) This city must not be confounded with the later Syrian city of Palmyra, also called Tadmor. It was situated near the "mountains of darkness," (51) the trysting-place of the spirits and demons. Thither the eagle would carry Solomon in the twinkling of an eye, and Solomon would drop a paper inscribed with a verse among the spirits, to ward off evil from himself ...
