Gunnar Heinsohn: "Some of you may already know that John Dayton in "Minerals, Metals, Glazing and Man" paralleled the Royal tombs of Ur, which are placed somewhere in the third millennium by Woolley, with the Mycenaean art, and so if we bring the Mycenean art down to the ninth century, then it might be ...
227. The AAAS Affair: from Twenty Years After [Books]
... . It could be seen." Without trying to go over all of the details of JPW1, let me simply point out that those ancient depictions of Venus that I brought together on page 111 make it unmistakable that the ancients did see Venus as a comet. In recent years, some radical chronological revisions have been offered, notably by Gunnar Heinsohn and myself. Our discoveries have emerged from quite diverse avenues of investigation, but a number of our results are surprisingly consistent. (Here and there we do disagree. About the Sargonids, for example: I tend to accept virtually all of conventional Assyrian chronology, at least from the eighth century on; Heinsohn does not. ...

... in Ravenna (information from) [4 ]) . According to Niemtiz, the Palatine Chapel has no known predecessors but the orthodox view is that it was based on the design of the earlier San Vitale. On the other hand, whilst there may be overwhelming acceptance of the traditional date for the Aachen chapel in the English-speaking world, Gunnar Heinsohn, a social historian from the University of Bremen, assures me that there is an immense' debate about it on the continent of Europe [7 ]. However the English-language version of the Aachen chapel website still begins with the bald statement, The manifestation of a New Rome was Charlemagne's guiding vision when he began the construction of ...

... according to social scientist John Elster of Columbia University, have resorted to what he terms "story telling." Weiss surprisingly discusses the work of French archeologist Claude F. A. Schaeffer who documented violent catastrophes all over that region of the world and then Weiss dismisses it as "too fantastic for serious study."73 According to Professor Gunnar Heinsohn, in an article titled "Destruction Layers in Archaeological Sites," (in Catastrophism 2000, M. Zysman and C. Whelton, eds., (Toronto, 1990), p. 221), even Schaeffer was puzzled. After showing that there was immense devastation over vast regions of the ancient world, which was ...
230. "Cenocatastrophism" [Articles]
... credence has turned out to be far more arduous than even he could have guessed. Worlds in Collision and the Ages in Chaos series dismantle the structure of Egyptian chronology erected in the late l9th century, but leave intact the Mesopotamian chronology erected in the same period and an early Hebrew chronology traditional for centuries. It has been the undertaking of Gunnar Heinsohn to submit these latter chronologies, and many others dependent on them, to the same thorough and critical scrutiny Velikovsky spent four decades giving to the Egyptian. His impressive work is still in progress, but it is already quite clear that if accepted it will render unusable many of the key Mesopotamian and Hebrew dates on which Worlds in ...

232. Thutmose III: A Different Perspective [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Kadesh does not appear to have been captured, but there are references to enemy auxiliaries of the country of Naharin. This venture closed the military activities of the pharaoh dubbed the most militarily successful of them all. But was he? Were the shortened excursions to Nuges as a result of defeat? In defense of his own chronology, Gunnar Heinsohn mentions a scarab of Thutmose III which "was found on the floor of the palace assigned to Omri and Ahab." [58] Unless one continues to press the "heirloom" argument, this scarab would have had to have been "dropped" there after the building of Samaria. This discovery and Heinsohn's approach to it ...
233. The Opening Of The Mouth Ritual - Part III [Journals] [Aeon]
... those lovely white stone pyramids clogged with gore. Rather than wanting to go up to heaven themselves, the Meso-american wish was to placate their gods with rivers of blood, so they would not come down here and cause havoc upon Earth. "This linking of means and ends in sacrifice was fundamental to Maya thought." [47] Gunnar Heinsohn had some interesting things to say on this matter. [48] He contends that human sacrifice was a direct response to Bronze Age man suffering tremendous celestial catastrophes (brought about by comets, rather than Saturnian events). On the one hand, mankind was deeply traumatized by the catastrophes and, on the other, a new ...
... of Worlds in Collision which included an appendix on the worldwide Velikovsky Affair written by Marx. In protest, one of the book's 1952 critics, Winfried Petri, resigned as an editorial consultant for the firm's journal Umschau in Wirtschaft und Technik. 2) In 1987, Christoph Marx, who had collaborated closely with University of Bremen sociologist/economist Gunnar Heinsohn in preparing perhaps the most radical of all "Velikovskian" chronological revisions- equating the third-millennium B.C . Sumerians with the first-millennium Chaldeans and identifying Hammurabi as Darius the Persian-was arrested in Switzerland for arranging to sell forbidden American computers to the Soviet Union. No trial was held, but Marx spent several days in Swiss cells ...

... = Chaldeans equation myself, I had fondly hoped that I might have numbered among an ever increasing number of protagonists for this view. I found it curiously inappropriate that Lester should have quoted Martin Sieff in support of his rejection of the equation, since the latter has clearly come out in favour by his express agreement with the Mesopotamian Reconstruction of Gunnar Heinsohn (see Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History: Egypt, Israel, and the Archaeological Record 2400 BCE - 330 BCE; completed at the end of August 1987 (c ) Martin Sieff, published by the Society for Historical Research.) Maybe Mr Sieff has changed his mind in the face of the mounting evidence in favour ...
236. In Search of <i>Alter Egos</i> [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: C&C Review 2004:3 (Incorporating C&C Workshop 2004:4 ) Home | Issue Home In Search of Alter Egos Trevor Palmer Recently I wrote an article (subsequently published in C&CR 2004:1 ) pointing out the difficulties of trying to reconcile inscriptional and stylistic evidence with the contention of Gunnar Heinsohn and Emmet Sweeney that the Mesopotamian and Achaemenid-Persian dynasties were duplicates of each other. Shortly after I sent off the manuscript to the SIS editorial team, an article by Sweeney appeared in C&CR 2002:2 maintaining that similarities in the histories of individual Neo-Assyrian and early Achaemenid rulers, and then of Neo-Babylonian and late Achaemenid ones, ...
237. A Rage to Deny: The Roots of the Velikovsky Affair [Books]
... . Velikovsky in his "revised chronology" moved things closer to our time by up to 800 years. I think, however, that "revised" is too neutral and gentlemanly a word, and I prefer "shortened." Velikovsky's is a shortened chronology which in the past ten years has been shortened even further by the work of Gunnar Heinsohn and Lynn Rose himself. If we locate Aristotle within what we might call the Very Shortened Chronology of Rose and Heinsohn, then the Greek concern with the nature of the world takes on a very different hue, for the last of the catastrophes might have ended not more than 300 years before him. This is perhaps too long ...
238. Were The Hitites Lydians? [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... and it was a problem to which he could give no satisfactory answer. On the other hand, Ramses II and His Time contained a veritable mountain of evidence, of a stratigraphic, artistic and paleographic nature, which showed that the 7th century was the correct time for the early Ramessides, and this evidence has been greatly added to by Gunnar Heinsohn. Clearly, the Hittites were a mighty power of the 6th century: but which power were they? The classical authors, as opposed to the biblical, make it very clear that one of the most important economic and military powers of the 6th century was centered in Anatolia and Asia Minor. This was the kingdom of Lydia ...

... the whole thing up. This was because no evidence of a Median Empire was found in the Iron Age strata, where it was expected. But if the Medes were the Bronze Age Mitanni then the problem is answered. More recently, archaeologists have now come to doubt the existence even of the Persian Empire for the same reason. (Gunnar Heinsohn talks about this in some detail in Wer Herrschte Im Industal?). It's the same in the Greek world. The city of Mycenae for example, and the opulent burials in the Shaft Graves could not be identified with the dynasty of Atreus because cross-dating with Egypt showed these to be contemporary with the 18th Dynasty [of Egypt ...

The sources referred to by Trevor say the precise opposite of what he claimed.

243. Quantalism And Prehistory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . Most of the Neo-Velikovskians seem to me to be members of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies in England. And the way in which they have conventionalized Velikovsky's thinking is by restoring many of the traditional historical synchronisms, especially between Biblical events and other events in the ancient Near East. Meta-Velikovskians by contrast, are such theorists as Earl Milton and Gunnar Heinsohn, who abridge pre-Alexandrian chronology even more drastically than did Velikovsky himself. FREUD, REICH, AND VELIKOVSKY Freudianism and Velikovskianism have much in common. Most obviously, both Freud and Velikovsky were European Jewish psychoanalysts who emphasized the repression of traumatic events as the source of individual and collective amnesia. But a second link between these two schools ...
244. Scientists, Journalists and Editors as Suppressors (Part II) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Velikovsky alone in uncannily precise detail. The British revisionists in ancient history and the followers of Napier-Clube who have nothing to say about Venus are blind to all this. [Not] only do the revisionists in both ancient history and science reject Velikovsky's work for inferior copies, but the copies themselves are unacknowledged rip-offs of the Founding Father's work. Gunnar Heinsohn, of Bremen, Germany, has pointed out the unwillingness of British researchers in history to acknowledge Velikovsky's primacy, even though they themselves had previously edited journals dealing with his work. And D. C. Stowe, writing in KRONOS magazine, rightly condemns Napier and Clube for offering up "warmed over parts of Velikovsky's evidence, ...

Note: Professor Gunnar Heinsohn does not subscribe to the concept of astronomical dating. That he does not, changes nothing with respect to the evidence Rose has produced. Belief can carry no weight as evidence. To overturn Rose's thesis requires that it be discredited on its own terms, which are scientific and astronomical in nature. Alluding to evidence that is not ...

... migrated by as much as 50 cm, making nonsense of assumptions of climate change during the period in question. The ultimate in ice evidence is the recovery of a World War 2 plane from the Greenland ice. In 50 years it had become buried in 80 metres of ice, worth a good few thousand years in other considerations. (Gunnar Heinsohn pointed this out evidence at the Braziers Conference in 1995.) Retrocalculations of historically recorded eclipses present problems too. Five total solar eclipses recorded from between 585 BC (Herodotus) and 71 AD (Plutarch) appear to have their dates confirmed by astronomical retrocalculation but none of them should have been observable from the latitude they were supposed ...

... latter area; he accepted, however, that workers in that area had found problems in applying the conventional chronologies. On the other hand, he had no reservations in rejecting Dr Velikovsky's proposed "manipulation of dynasties" in view of what he saw as clear conflicts with the detailed information available to the Egyptologist. Answering a question from DR GUNNAR HEINSOHN of Bremen University, Germany, who commented on the "velocity" with which he had dealt with the question of the apparent Greek letters on the reverse of tiles from Medinet Habu, Mr Jones summarised evidence of a number of types which he felt went against Velikovsky's thesis. He felt there was no firm link to Ramesses III ...
