... From: SIS Internet Digest 1999:1 (Apr 1999) Home | Issue Contents Sequence and events From: bb089@scn.org (James Conway) Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 18:26:35 -0800 (PST) Henry Zecher: If Velikovsky identified a Middle Kingdom Egyptian with Joseph, Donovan Courville also identified one. Perhaps it was the same one. Clark Whelton: Velikovsky has the so-called "Middle Kingdom" (the Egyptians did not use such terminology) ending with the first Venus catastrophe ca. -1450. James Conway: The Middle Kingdom ends with the 12th dynasty or the first half of the 18th century BCE. Joseph lived and worked ...
412. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... stable orbit as at present - how does one reconcile the myths (indicating a cometary and catastrophic Venus') with the postulated agent?" He ends by saying that: ". .. there seem to be too many problems in making a synthesis [of Clube and Napier's comet catastrophe scenario] with the mythological evidence put together by Velikovsky. But unless some sort of synthesis is possible we may see modern catastrophism diverge into two quite separate camps; one with a sound astronomical theory which does not fit the myths, and the other with a myth-based theory with little credibility among professional astronomers." [1 ] Polarisation into two camps would indeed be a matter for real ...

... and darkness alleged to have attended the Exodus". In KRONOS X: I, pp. 95-96, he wrote: ". . . just as Earth in Upheaval was being completed, it was discovered in 1954 that bristlecone pine rings go back further than Sequoias, beyond 3000 B.C . [sic] . Curiously, whereas Velikovsky could quote S. K. Runcorn from the September 1955 Scientific American about the reality of geomagnetic reversals, not a word is devoted even to the possibility that a tree ring record extends back beyond the Exodus. By 1956 it was known for a fact that some bristlecone pine trees were over 4000 years old [E . Schulman, ...
414. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... 1990:1 , p. 40: Three times Warlow refers to a day or about a day [emphasis added]. Furthermore, his evaluation of Equation 11 takes a day as the basis for comparison with the torque for equinoctial precession. Indeed, since Warlow was trying to lend credence to Worlds in Collision (see Warlow's acknowledgement to Velikovsky in SISR IV:1 , p. 8, that he withdrew from his J. Phys. A paper in 1978), a one day inversion was the only relevant timescale for flybys related to Velikovsky's sequence of planetary orbits deduced by Rose and Vaughan in Pensee VIII. Salkeld's notion that a 180 day inversion is an admissible upper ...
415. Saturn and the Flood: The Ice-Core Evidence [Journals] [Aeon]
... 1990), pp. 28-32. This slightly edited version is being republished here because of its relevance to the Saturn theory which has been, and continues to be, discussed in the pages of this periodical. Ed. The Venus and Mars catastrophes described in Worlds in Collision were only the latest in a series which, according to Immanuel Velikovsky, at one time or another involved every planet visible to the naked eye. Critiques of the Worlds in Collision scenario began appearing even before its publication in book form. This may have something to do with the fact that Velikovsky never finished the work describing those earlier catastrophes, because they make Worlds in Collision look pretty tame by comparison ...

... sufficient energy are as capable as it is supposed that nuclear explosions are of causing rapid global or hemispheric cooling, by the injection of massive amounts of dust into the upper atmosphere [7 ]. Unpaid Debt In a review of the earlier book [8 ] Bernard Newgrosh castigated the authors as niggardly' in their acknowledgement of their debt to Velikovsky, which included for example a whole passage of translation from Latin lifted word for word, comma for comma, evento omissions and insertions [9 ], as well as many sources, e.g . the Ipuwer Chronicle', not widely considered outside Velikovsky. The most charitable assumption one can make is that Clube and Napier failed ...

418. The Two Jehorams [Journals] [SIS Review]
... /78) "From Exodus to Akhnaton" Home | Issue Contents The Two Jehorams Martin Sieff Copyright (c ) 1978 M. J. Sieff Martin Sieff has an Honours B.A . in History from Oxford University and is currently preparing a doctorate thesis. He is a founder of the Society and Associate Editor of this journal. Velikovsky identifies Rib-Addi of the el-Amarna correspondence with Ahab of Israel, and attributes to that ruler the deeds ascribed in the Bible to his son Jehoram. A more literal reading of the Biblical evidence shows that Rib-Addi, if he was a king of Israel, must be identified with this Jehoram and not with Ahab. In Ages in Chaos Immanuel ...
419. Introduction to Ramessides, Medes and Persians [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... CONTENTS "Ramessides, Medes and Persians" by Emmet J. Sweeney 2 VELIKOVSKIAN Vol. V, No. 2 INTRODUCTION The work that follows should be regarded as simultaneously fulfilling two functions. On the one hand, it represents the completion of the task Immanuel Velikovsky set for himself in the Ages in Chaos series, an endeavour which spectacularly initiated the reconstruction of ancient history, but which left the task half-completed and the reader, as it were, dangling in mid-air. On the other hand, the work is intended to demonstrate how Gunnar Heinsohn's radically shortened chronology can be applied to the details of ancient Near Eastern history. In Ages in Chaos Velikovsky unveiled a detailed synchronisation ...
420. Apollo Objects, Atlantis and the Deluge: A Catastrophical Scenario for the End of the Last Glaciation [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... is Prof. Emilio Spedicato of the University of Bergamo and the paper is published as a quaderno' (quarterly?) of the Department of Matematica, Statistica e Informatica e Applicazioni' by the Istituto Universitario di Bergamo'. It is the 1990 revision of a 1985 paper. Of interest to me was the author's readiness to cite both Velikovsky and Clube/Napier. Surely this is the right approach to the investigation of the possibility of recent catastrophism: an attempt to couple Velikovsky's impressive catalogue of catastrophic myths, legends and perhaps historical accounts with agents (Apollo objects) which are readily available in the mainstream of astronomical thought. Spedicato implies that Velikovsky himself might have followed such ...
