... CR 12, 44 n. 24. In purely Dyn. 21 terms, this last identification would have the advantages (e .g .) of rationalizing Pinudjem II's marriage politics and Neskhons A's importance (see elsewhere this issue with n. 41). With the suggested year 33/3 relation, it would also date the north Syrian evidence here to the recent aftermath of Shoshenq I's campaign. See elsewhere this issue for the fit of the just-cited 5 identifications with each other. 44 See elsewhere this issue with n. 37. 45 Cf. TIPE 64 with Rohl o.c . 53 and G.E .

252. Myths of the Great Flood (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... Then came the flood from above. Then fire fell also, and rain, boiling hot. ' Another Jewish myth says: The male waters fell from the heavens while the female waters welled forth from the depths. They united and waxed strong and overwhelmed the Earth and all that was upon it. Lucian, in his book On the Syrian Goddess (a lunar deity), tells of the tradition among the people of Hierapolis that once in the olden times enormous volumes of water issued on a sudden from the Earth, rains of extraordinary abundance began to fall, the rivers left their beds and the sea overflowed its shores. The waters thus augmented at last covered the whole ...
253. The Identification of the Biblical "Queen of Sheba" with Hatshepsut, "Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia"" [Journals] [Kronos]
... Among these was a signet ring, published by Glueck and Albright. "The seal itself, enclosed in a copper casting, had incised on it in retrograde, in the clearest possible ancient Hebrew characters, the following inscription: LYTM, belonging to Jotham'. Below the inscription is a beautifully carved horned ram, which seems to be Syrian in style. In front of the ram seems to be the figure of a man."(40) Glueck and Albright identified the owner of the seal tentatively as Jotham, King of Judah, who ruled in the 8th century B.C . The interpretation of the seal was taken up again by N. Avigad in 1961 ...
254. Quantalism: the Big Picture [Articles]
... at face value to indicate that, on three separate prehistoric occasions, the planet Mercury approached the earth so closely as to appear to be the largest object in the sky. During the 3rd century of our era, the leading deity of the Roman Empire was Sol Invictus, "the unconquered sun." Its cult was promoted by the Syrian- born emperor Elagabalus, whose Semitic name meant "the god of the pinnacle." The common assumption about this theonymic phrase is that it could be loosely equated with "the invincible sun." But, as a quantalist, I am inclined rather to take it literally, in which case there exists an implied contrast with the ...
255. Pygmalion, Prince of Tyre, and the el-Amarna Correspondence [Journals] [Kronos]
... king of a Canaanite port. We have such a record in the inscriptions of Shalmaneser III, the King of Assyria, whose terrific drives into Canaan between 858 and 838 can still cause shuddering from his bragging bricks and Black Obelisk. Twice on his monuments he boasted how, in his fourth regnal year (855), he menaced the Syrian coast. "To the cities of Nikdime [and] Nikdiera I drew near. They became frightened at my mighty awe-inspiring weapons and my grim warfare, cast themselves upon the sea in wicker [? ] boats- . I followed after them in boats of- , fought a great battle on the sea, defeated them, and ...

... dating from 20,000 BC to 15,000," but not like classical Greek key patterns or frets. Borders and panels of interlacing "are to be found in the art of most peoples surrounding the Mediterranean, the Black and Caspian Seas. Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Moors, Persians, Turks, Arabs, Syrians, Hebrews, and North African tribes have used interlacing." According to Bain, "the finest achievement of knotwork interlacing are by the Pictish School," and that "interlacing humans, animals, birds, and reptiles each with interlacing top-knots were developed in East Pictland and Ireland to migrate at a later date to Scandinavia to become ...
257. Recent Developments In Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to Mesopotamia at this period. Unfortunately, the length of its period of use is unknown and fixing the dates of the site which it is named after has proved difficult - Nuzi's destruction is nowadays typically placed c.1350 BC (Amarna period). At the other end of Nuzi ware's geographical range is Alalakh, not far from the Syrian coast. Here, Levels IV to II had Nuzi ware. The earlier part of Level II corresponds to the Amarna period because Late Helladic IIIA pottery, exported from the Aegean, was found at both Alalakh Level II and at Amarna. Thus the Amarna period seems to be towards the end of the period of use of Nuzi ware ...
258. Ages Still In Chaos: Defending The Indefensible [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , The city was oppressed but not conquered', how do we account for the information in the el-Amarna letters that Sumur was captured and some rebuilding activity undertaken by Aziru? That there was a first and a second siege of Samaria by the king of Damascus is not the issue. That the second siege ended in hasty flight by the Syrians when they thought that either the Egyptians or the Hittites were coming to the aid of Samaria is also not in question. What is in question is whether this section of Ages in Chaos mirrors the information in the letters, even though Samaria is not Sumur. There are 8 letters used in this section as support for Velikovsky's theory. ...
259. Peoples of the Sea: An Art Historical Perspective... [Journals] [Kronos]
... at Babylon of Nebuchadnezzar ll.(35) E. Baldwin Smith came close to the art historical truth of Ramses III's fortress gateway, but then shrank back into vaguery and speculation. "In origin this gateway has been at times described as an architectural intrusion borrowed from the brick architecture of the East, because of its designation by the Syrian name migdol,* its vaulted chambers, and its vertical instead of battered walls. While its use and even its adoption at Medinet Habu may have been influenced by Ramses' wars in the East, the tradition of a towered gateway goes back to the beginnings of Dynastic architecture."(36) [* See Peoples of the ...
260. As the Cross of the Cardinal Points [Books]
... of ocean-going vessels. These reed boats were subsequently imitated in wood Cretan and Phoenician ships were built on Egyptian lines and so, too, were the earliest vessels that sailed on the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. More than one expert in boat building and navigation has provided convincing evidence in this connexion. When the early mariners explored the Syrian and Anatolian coasts and colonized Crete, they carried with them to distant places the elements of early Egyptian culture, including the knowledge of the cardinal points and the use of the equal-limbed cross which Sir Arthur Evans has found to have been a prominent religious object in Crete. In the various colonies and settlements into which the seeds of Egyptian ...
