... we try to establish whether they were actual historical events, we would be delighted just to prove that, let alone try to set them in a particular chronological order, and find out exactly when they happened in history. Q1: I have no doubt that there were periods in which there was chaos, elements of mythology appear in the pyramid texts and the Book of the Dead with far greater frequency than they appear in other texts. Things like this description in Anastasi IV very probably refer to events during what we call the historical period in Egypt, whereas the mythological events related in the Book of the Dead and the trip through the Underworld and so forth, those are ...
542. Catastrophes and the History of Life on Earth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Middle East were disrupted at the end of the Early Bronze Age, about 2300 BC in the conventional chronology. This was first pointed out by the French archaeologist, Claude Schaeffer, and reinforced by Moe Mandelkehr in a series of papers in the SIS Review and C&C Review. The Old Kingdom of Egypt, the main period of pyramid construction, came to a chaotic end, and the Akkadian empire in Mesopotamia encountered severe problems after its advance under Sargon the Great. Investigations at Tell Leilan in northern Syria by the Yale archaeologist, Harvey Weiss, showed that the climate in this region suddenly became arid at this time. Weiss attributed this change in climate to a volcanic ...
543. The Bedrock of Myth [Articles]
... in turmoil. Space herein precludes discussion of the numerous details. If aspects of the image are reconstructivel in one tradition from one collection of metaphor and likewise from another with another collection, the tradition of common origin knew all of those metaphors and was far richer in content. Thus, the rich collections of metaphors of the Rgveda and the Pyramid Texts must formerly have been united in one collection, while each is far richer than those of later traditions. Ther has been a steady and easily documentable impoverishment, a progressive loss of a relatively incorrupt description of aspects of and especially the cohesion within the Polar Apparition. This forms the basis of a strong argument in favor of the ...

... , diorite (bronze, a copper and tin alloy, would be blunted after a few strokes), or chisel stone sculpture with exquisitely sharp lines of eyelids, lips, and ears? -may be answered if chromite ore was used in making tools, or even only as abrasive powder. During earlier times, since the time of pyramid building, chromite ore could have been brought from Rhodesia, which is rich in it. It appears probable that Ramses III referred to chromite and also to pyrite, ores abundant in Greece, when he wrote of the metal ore brought on galleys from Atika to Egypt in preparation for the impending war with Persia. If such was the ...
545. Velikovsky and the Decline of Medieval Cosmology [Articles]
... . We provide a line of argument that tells you it's 1369 BC based upon the Egyptian records; it may not be a good argument, but it's an argument. And in fact, if you go back further in time, there is another flurry of events round about 2100 BC which is almost certainly associated with the construction of the pyramids and a lot of megalithic objects all over the world. The significance of these broad dates that I give you is that these are the times of broad, but close encounters with the meteor stream that I've described to you, and there is a tremendous significance in these in that they have a broad periodicity of about 680 or 700 ...

... did find it solid gold, but then had a dream in which he was warned that if he removed the column he would lose the sight of his good eye. He had an image of a calf made out of the gold dust, and set it on the column [4 ]. A mediaeval Arab story tells that a certain pyramid that was built, according to Manetho, by Nitocris, is haunted by a beautiful woman who drives men mad. There are several instances of people being driven mad as punishment for similar offences. At Patrae, a statue of Dionysus drove mad all those who saw it. A list of examples is given in an article by R ...

On the steles of the Mastabas, in which the deceased prays Anubis for a good sepulture, we find a list of the festal days on which sacrifices are to be offered for the dead. A modern calendar (given both by Brugsch and De Rougé) ...
... . There was no vague year to contend with, and in some cases the actual dates of building were known within a very few years. In Greece, not dominated by the rise of the Nile, we should not expect the year to begin at a solstice, but rather at the vernal equinox. I have shown that even in pyramid times in Egypt the risings of the Pleiades and Antares were watched to herald the equinoctial sun, it is not surprising, therefore, to find the earliest temples in Greece to be so oriented. Mr. Penrose has found the following: B.C . h Tauri (The Pleiades) Archaic temple of Minerva Athens R 1530 Asclepieion ...
