... by the smiting of their pillar at Geba. Tony's original question (Workshop 1989:1 , p. 23) was about the equation of Saul with Labayu given the latter is thought to have ruled for about 9 years. I have to stress thought', not Tony's known': my answer clearly states that the chronology of the Amarna Letters is far from certain and that, even if future evidence shows Labayu to have a longer (or a shorter) letter-writing period, the end of Saul's reign might, indeed, fit. The active' part of Saul's reign would have begun with his recapture of the Philistine strongholds in Benjamin and would comprise his many wars ( ...
212. The Identification of Avails and Nefrusi [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... " ruler. (See Firth & Quibell, The Step Pyramid (Cairo, 1936), 77-85.) Working on the assumption that the Egyptologists have placed Nefrusi in the correct general location, I offer my own suggestion regarding the identity of Nefrusi (but not Avaris). Nefrusi may have been the City of Akhenaten at Tell El Amarna. As I argued in Discussions in Egyptology , 17:89-141 (1990) the conventional chronology of Egypt and the Near East is in total disarray. It is worse even than Velikovsky supposed and far worse than the revisionists who regularly appear in C&AH argue. For the reasons I argued in Discussions in Egyptology, for the ...
213. The Tomb of the High Priest of Aten at Memphis [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... simply becoming dislodged over time. There is some hope of being able to find at least some of these blocks in the vicinity immediately around the tomb - small alleyways typically divide one tomb from the next, and it is at least possible that some blocks will be found here. The pictures are a mixture of traditional Egyptian tomb art and Amarna style art. The substructure with the actual burial chamber is not aligned parallel to the side walls but is at a skew angle. This suggests reuse of an earlier tomb, perhaps 2nd dynasty, a practice thought to be common in Sakkara. Again, the artwork shows a mixture of styles. To the sides are subsidiary chapels, ...
214. A Testing Time [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the fourth centenary of the building of the temple of Seth at Avaris - an anniversary which was commemorated in the time when Ramesses' father, Seti I, was vizier during the reign of Haremhab. There is an inscription from the time of King Haremhab found at Tell ed-Daba dedicating, or rededicating, the temple of Seth after the Amarna heresy period. So this is probably the very point at which the celebration of 400 years took place in Haremhab's reign. Thus, although the Year 400 Stela is a Ramesses II monument, it doesn't record an event in his reign but rather some 20 years earlier. The Austrian mission at Tell ed-Daba found the largest temple of the ...
215. Menelaos in Egypt [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... various Middle Eastern rulers confusing, some typing mistakes in Jesse Lasken's letter Akhenaten Corrections' (p . 40) must have only added to the muddle. The key sentences should have read: I did not equate Akhenaten with Assur-uballit as both the headline and story stated. Instead I suggested that the Akhenaten who built the city of Tel el Amarna was the same as Assurbanipal, the Assyrian ruler of parts of Egypt from c. 668 to c. 651 BC.

216. Centuries of Darkness? - the reviewers reviewed [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of Aegean prehistorians to abandon their long-cherished conventional chronology." Just so, but as Bob Porter has noted (Review XIV, p. 34: see also my comments in JACF 5, p. 61), historians cannot accept both the 17th century date for Thera's eruption (based on scores of radiocarbon dates) and the 13th century Amarna dates (based on a handful) because this would add 80-120 years to the 18th Dynasty. Needless to say, this is a requirement that no Egyptologist could live with! Returning to the excellent review feature in CAJ, James et al. are first allowed to outline their case in detail, with useful charts showing their chronological realignments ...

218. Bronson Feldman, 1914-1982: A Biographical Note [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... that he was preparing an essay in which he identified Abimilki, king of Tyre, with Pygmalion (see Kronos, Vol. II, No. 1). It should not go unnoticed that he gave that Velikovskian essay the Shakespearean title, "Pygmalian, Prince of Tyre," and referred to the characters and personalities of the el Amarna correspondence as dramatis personae. I would like to suggest further that Feldman's heretical and iconoclastic works in both Elizabethan literature and ancient history spring from the identical impulse- for him, a religious impulse, a monotheistic impulse, an impulse which derives directly from the commandments of Moses, especially the first and second. Those who are interested in ...
219. A Corrected Date for Carthage, II [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... " by Rib-Addi as being that of Pygmalion's uncle. The Ba'li-manzer of Shalmaneser III's inscription must be a form of the name of Metten-Baal. He, rather than Pygmalion, as I originally supposed, based on Courville's translation, must now be recognized as Abimilki. These amended dates do not affect in any way the dates I proposed for the Amarna Letters from Tyre, which still synchronize with those from Rib-Addi. Lester J. Mitcham Copyright 1980 Lester J. Mitcham ...
220. Baal-Manzer the Tyrian: A Reappraisal [Journals] [Aeon]
... ) We do not know how long after her departure Carthage was actually founded, and Josephus's conclusion that it was founded in the year of her flight is clearly his own conjecture. What are the implications of all this for the revised chronology? Donovan Courville and the late Bronson Feldman have both suggested that the Abimilki king of Tyre in the Amarna letters was Pygmalion. (16) They cite the phonetic similarity, and Feldman adds a suggestion that the name was an intentional sarcasm derived from the Greek pygmaion, from which the word "pygmy" is derived. Peter James, responding to Feldman's article, (17) rejected the equation primarily on the basis of the "Baal-Manzer ...
