... 281 BCE) are also Ionians who thus present no difficulty for this period. Darius' action against human sacrifice even outside his empire, in Carthage, and his veneration of the "all-knowing Lord"- i.e ., his relationship with the mono- theism of the Jews whose reconstruction of a temple he finances out of his Syrian treasure-chest- is explained by the fact that the figure of Abraham, who so far has explained the origin of monotheism, has always been linked with Hammurabi through the mention of Amraphel, in the past identified as Hammurabi, in Genesis 14:1 . In other words, the entire material surrounding Abraham does not belong to the late ...
242. Bouquets and Brickbats: A Reply to Martin Sieff [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... occupation of the city following its conquest by Sargon II. Against this, Sieff offered Yehoshua Etzion's "forthcoming book" in which "the Iron Age settlement at Samaria [is placed] not in Israelite hands, but Samaritan!"42 The Samaritans, of course, were composed of a conglomeration of peoples, among whom were Babylonians, Syrians, and Arabians, which the conquering Assyrians settled at Samaria. In time these foreigners intermarried with the remaining Israelites- i.e . those who had not been deported by the Assyrians- but it was not until later that a distinctive Samaritan culture developed. Unless their contents are divulged, however, "forthcoming books" cannot be ...
243. Ancient Near Eastern Chronology: To Revise or not to Revise? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... band of habiru mercenaries in the pay of the Philistines.11 The actuality of the Philistines and the Arameans as recorded in late Judges requires explanation by the various revisionists. It is not enough to confine them to an obscure phase of history as Velikovsky did. The bible AND mid Assyrian inscriptions record the appearance of the Aramean bedouin in the Syrian steppe zone. Tiglathpileser I records gifts "from Musri...", i.e . Egypt, suggesting trade links- probably early to mid dyn 20. Ashur bel kala seems to have had similar links and adopted Ramesside style gigantic statuary of himself. Mid Assyrian sites such as Apku were effectively destroyed shortly afterwards and it ...
244. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... argument looks weak. However, Meriggi's 1975 translation has doubtless been improved by Hawkins, so we should hold this further downdating in mind for when the new corpus of texts is published. Sculptures in the Carchemish style of Suhis II were also found at Til-Barsip (Cambridge Ancient History III.1 pp. 384-5), capital of the ancient Syrian state of Bit Adini, which was conquered in 855 BC by Shalmaneser III who settled it and renamed it Kar-Shalmaneser. This equivalence therefore indicates that Suhis II's sculptures were pre-855 BC. This is easily the case in the chart above and is still comfortable if the Suhis dynasty is moved down one and a half generations as in the chart ...
245. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Year 1, although four successive wars cannot all have been fought in one year'. I suggest that the Ramasseum pylon Year 8' scenes may or may not be Year 8. Kitchen wrote of one set of Ramesses II's reliefs at Karnak that he felt that Ramesses had merely filled three registers of wall with assorted captures' from his Syrian campaigns in general and without distinction of date or occasion' (JEA 50 [1964], p. 63). Thus, Shalem Year 8' could be Jerusalem Year 40, or it could actually be a place in Galilee in Year 8. The question is one of probabilities, not certainties. Regardless of the Shalem Year ...
246. The British Connection [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Bronze-Iron interchange." In these words, 30 years after Ages in Chaos first appeared, Sieff is pronouncing the validating results of thirty years' work, practically none of which was done by anti-heretics, and which, whatever else happens, in cosmology and chronology, are sufficient to bring the rewriting of much of ancient Egyptian, Hebrew, Syrian, Anatolian, Greek, and Roman history. But Martin is part of "whatever else happens" and so are Peter James, David Rohl, John Bimson, and Jim Clarke who are energetically taking V. apart and putting him together again. The old chronology is gone but there is yet no tongue-in-groove replacement. ** * ...
247. The Succession of Gods [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the strife of the gods. They move always in order. (Elsewhere, Plato would have any disbelievers in orderly skies punishable.) The astral gods are the real ones, he insists, and gives them their names. (He anthropomorphizes the vault of Heaven, Kosmos.) Their names, he suggests, should be coordinated with Syrian and Egyptian observations, which are much older and "tested by vast periods of time." To us it occurs that bringing the gods down to Olympus was psychologically an effort on the part of Greek myth-makers to control the gods; they became human and tied to human fortunes directly. Now Plato, feeling no threat of planetary disorders ...
248. The origin of the sacred 260 day calendar of the early Mesoamerican civilisations: a hypothesis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... great awe in most of the early religions of the world. We have already seen that Venus plays a major part in the Mayan theology, and this is mirrored in many other civilisations. Venus appears in various guises around the ancient world: the Egyptian goddess Isis, Greek Athene, Babylonian Ishtar, Canaanite Baal, late Sumerian Ninsianna, Syrian Astarte, Arabic al Uzza are all manifestations of the planet Venus. The point to bear in mind is that although many religions are based on or include planet worship, the role of Venus is nearly always a dominant or destructive one. Men were afraid of the planet. Why should this be so if it had never behaved differently ...
249. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Counting Shekels New Scientist 26.5 .01, p. 20 Merchants trading over a vast area from India to N. Africa between 2,500BC and 1,000BC appear to have had readily convertible weight systems with interesting exact correlations: Indus Valley, Babylonian and Eblaite-Carcemish shekels bore neat relationships to each other and the Ugarit, Syrian and Egyptian basic weights each weighed 94g. Ashkelon begs Some Questions National Geographic Jan. 2001, pp. 66-90 This is an account of excavations at the ancient city of Ashkelon, one of the great Mediterranean seaports. It covers the period from the Canaanites through to its final destruction in AD1270 by the Islamic Mamluks ruling from Egypt, ...
250. Notes (The Book of Revelation is History) [Books]
... Note 58. The Greek for `mark' is something engraved, cut in, or tattooed. Isaiah xliv. 5 seems to refer to the tattooing with distinctive marks'. One of the interpretations of the number 616 which occurs in some of the early manuscripts of the Apocalypse is "A-rret:`(dedicated) to (the Syrian god) Attis', or Atys; he was the beloved of Cybele, the Great Mother of the gods, references to whom are suspected by some commentators in the Apocalypse. The initiates of Attis bore distinctive tattoo-marks on their foreheads, made with glowing needles. Their form is unknown. Note 59. `Because he was created ...
