... of this period has been found; a strange state of affairs considering that Herodotus (I , 191) calls Assyria the wealthiest of Persia's satrapies. The situation in Babylon is only slightly better, with various texts, records, seals and several buildings offered as remains of the period of Persian rule. Recently, I received a message from Gunnar Heinsohn that addresses the question of Persian period archaeology in Babylon. Heinsohn wrote .. . According to German excavators, there is one area in Babylon's southern fortification ( 'Sudburg') where the so-called Old Palace' ( 'Alte Palast') shares one of its courtyard walls with a small Persian mansion ( 'Ideiner Bau' ...
77. Sothic Dating and Historical Reconstructions [Articles]
... . I do think that the Middle Kingdom should be lowered, but just consider if that is true. If it's true, and you make such a move, some other theory that is also true is not going to be challenged by this. I suggest that is the reason Velikovsky's theories are not damaged by this at all. Now Gunnar Heinsohn and I disagree about some things, such as the Sargonids and the placement of the Hyksos. I'm not persuaded that they should be lowered, either one of those. I leave them both pretty much where most others have left them. But the other aspects of Gunnar's work seem to me to be on the right track. ...
78. Were the "Sumerians of the Third Millennium" in Reality the Chaldeans of the First Millennium? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... " in Reality the Chaldeans of the First Millennium?A RESPONSE Herbert A. Storck On this date almost a year ago a paper entitled "Were the Sumerians of the Third Millennium' in Reality the Chaldeans of the First Millennium?" was read at the First Seminar of Catastrophism and Ancient History by Lester Mitcham and myself on behalf of Gunnar Heinsohn and Christoph Marx, its authors, who were regrettably absent. At that time I took the opportunity to make some preliminary observations and criticisms vis a vis their proposal; none of my comments, however, reached publication until now. The authors were therefore prevented from utilizing such criticisms in the preparation of a new edition of their ...
79. Did the Achaemenids Ape the Assyrians? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1993 No 2 (Jan 1994) Home | Issue Contents Did the Achaemenids Ape the Assyrians?by Gunnar Heinsohn Around -440, Herodotus reported that mankind's first world power, the Achaemenid Empire stretching from Egypt to India ( -550 to -330), had its very centre in Assyria: In power the land of Assyria counts as one third of all Asia. Rule over this country - which rule is called by the Persians a satrapy - is of all the satrapies by far the greatest; for instance, when Tritantaechmes, the son of Artabazus, held this satrapy from the Great King, he received each day an artaba (55 ...

82. Chapter 1 The Foundations of Ancient History [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... is nevertheless accepted that these are relatively trivial and in no way contradict the blueprint organized over the past few centuries. To construct this chronology they have incorporated several methodological approaches employing several forms of historical evidence and sometimes even scientific evidence to buttress the great monument handed down to us as ancient history. This conclusion has recently been challenged by Professor Gunnar Heinsohn of the University of Bremen, Germany, Professor Lynn E. Rose, emeritus professor of the State University of New York at Buffalo, and Emmet J. Sweeney of Derry, Northern Ireland.1 Each of these historical revisionists has acknowledged his enormous debt to the trail-blazing work of Immanuel Velikovsky, whose published books: Ages in ...
83. Response to Bimson [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Chaos' Conference 2002, John Bimson took me to task over a couple of issues relating to the archaeology and stratigraphy of the Near East. These points were expanded upon in a footnote added to the transcript of the discussion which occurred at the end of my talk. The general impression conveyed by John was that I, along presumably with Gunnar Heinsohn, was failing to take into account the archaeological and stratigraphical evidence. Yet, that is the precise opposite of the truth. In fact, as Gunnar and I have attempted to show over the past fifteen years, it is conventional scholarship, as well as those who – like John – give credence to it, which has ...

... From: Proceedings of the First Seminar of Catastrophism and Ancient History (1983) Home | Issue Contents Were the "Sumerians of the Third Millennium" in Reality the Chaldeans of the First Millennium?Gunnar Heinsohn and Christoph Marx I. Recently, using John Dayton's analysis of faience, we have shown (Heinsohn and Marx. 1982) that "Sumerian" Ur III can be redated to the 9th century B.C .- brought, that is, some 1200 years closer to the present. Dayton had in fact stated that "the ripe full Mycenaean III period at Ur III must be dated to about 1400 B.C . at the earliest" (Dayton, ...
85. A Chronological Note on the Kassites [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon II:2 (1990) Home | Issue Contents A Chronological Note on the Kassites Gunnar Heinsohn I To modern scholars the mid-second millennium Kassites are especially famous for their architectural innovations: The moulded bricks which form figures in relief were not known before Kassite times, and this innovation was splendidly applied, almost a thousand years later, in the Neo-Babylonian [after -625] temples.(1 ) To this very day it is not well understood why this sophisticated mural design disappeared, only to reappear in the seventh/sixth century BCE without much altering: Kara-Indash has left in the E-Anna precinct of Uruk a very interesting piece of work: a temple, the ...

Peter James: I don't think you should exaggerate the difference between Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon, recent studies have shown that the differences were actually fairly minimal. Gunnar Heinsohn: There were differences in skull-shape, there were not many differences in skeleton-shape, but the skull produces problems for the female skeleton when giving birth. Questioner 5: Haven't some of the more recent discoveries shown in Neanderthal man such a wide spectrum of body and head-types that quite a number, in the Middle East certainly, would ...

... Yellow Emperor as the northern embodiment of the supreme deity, whose astral double was the Pole Star, representing constancy and stability- hardly a trait to be associated with a comet- I could not help mentally identifying this august being as a Saturnian deity. The Catastrophic Emergence of Civilization: The Coming of the Bronze Age Cultures [4 ] Gunnar Heinsohn (University of Bremen) Gunnar Heinsohn cited descriptions of ritual sacrifice in antiquity which left the scholars who studied them perplexed as to what was going on and what was the intended effect. According to him, there is no evidence of sacrificial rites in the earliest archaeological strata. Such rites, Heinsohn believes, were inaugurated during the ...

The information available now on early Mesopotamian glass, while considerably greater than before, is still incomplete and full of gaps. The philological and archaeological evidence are both related but do no show a parallel development, nor do they share the same history. The glass ...

93. The Homeric Question [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that according to a critical analysis of biblical documents and archaeology, monotheism was only established during the 6th century BC, after the Babylonian Exile. His claim prompted me to ask the following question: if this Jewish revolution took place in ancient Israel as late as the 6th century, why had the Greeks started theirs 200 years earlier? Although Gunnar Heinsohn had by that time already revised the date of the Amarna Period to the late 7th century BC [37], he had not yet downdated the Greek chronology accordingly because he was aware of the Olympic Victor list and its first entry which dated to 776 BC [38]. Once the results of my research revealed that the ...

95. Timna and Egyptian Dates [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon II:5 (1991) Home | Issue Contents Timna and Egyptian Dates Gunnar Heinsohn I. Timna's stratigraphy and its inconsistencies In a recent study published together with Heribert Illig (1 ) the claim was put forward that the enigmatic absence of iron findings in Egypt during the period from 1200 to 600 BCE, and the no less enigmatic premature use of iron in the Chalcolithic (Copper Stone Age) and the Bronze Age (3700 to 1200 BCE) is due to unscholarly- pseudo-astronomical and Bible Fundamentalist- chronological constructs rather than to stratigraphic evidence . The same study suggested that the first stage of Egyptian High culture (Pre-and Early Dynastic, 3100 to 2890 BCE ...

We have received many letters for the Interaction department. Because of the length of the three feature articles in this issue we have selected just a few.

97. Imaginary and Expected Catastrophes: Apocalyptic Desire and Scientific Prognosis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1995 (Vol XVII) "Proceedings of the SIS 1995 Braziers College Conference" Home | Issue Contents Imaginary and Expected Catastrophes: Apocalyptic Desire and Scientific Prognosis Gunnar Heinsohn I Myths and legends describing catastrophes of the Bronze Age provide the hardcore information for the texts of apocalyptic preaching. In mainstream scholarship and theology these catastrophes are no longer understood as real events of the past merely projected into the future. On the contrary, the apocalyptic threats of erratic celestial bodies and global cataclysms are considered as godly revelations dealing exclusively with monstrous events supposed to trigger Judgment Day. In fact, this has not always been the case. In a book published ...

Page 89 The Israelite Conquest of Canaan Reviewing archaeological sites in Israel, Gunnar Heinsohn identifies "Middle Bronze" strata (usually dated around -1950 to -1750) with the early Israelite kingdom of 1050 to 900, seeing the ensuing "Hyksos" strata as that of the invading Assyrians.

... , in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah [11]. He claims it was a religion defined not by catastrophism or cosmic bombardment but by rationalisation of cult. It was the human catastrophe of military defeats and enforced exile that determined the nature of the new religion. The development of monotheism at this stage of history has been recognised by Gunnar Heinsohn. His arguments are fascinating in the context of the post-Exilic period [12]. He takes Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos to the extreme, playing with the idea of reassembling the Persian and Hellenic archaeological periods - exciting stuff. In contrast, the other branch of Velikovskian revisionism has shied away from disturbing the Classical Period and its orthodox ...
